Construction of Africa's largest science experiment, known as the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) - a telescope, which comprises two giant telescopes made up of over 130,000 antennas and 200 satellite dishes at observatories in Australia and South Africa - is officially underway

We were the only two of more than 300 EHT team members based on the African continent. The continent doesn’t host any EHT telescopes – we were brought on board because of expertise we’ve developed in preparation for the world’s largest radio telescope, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), to be co-hosted by South Africa and Australia.
