Fierce competition is going on between Australia and New Zealand on the one hand, and a group of Southern Africa states led by the Republic of South Africa, on the other hand, for the right to become a place for the implementation of a unique research project - the construction of a giant radio telescope, which should consist of an array of different types of antennas installed at various large venues.

It should eventually exceed all existing world counterparts. It is assumed that such super telescopes will help scientists to answer many fundamental questions of astronomy and astrophysics.
