With a view to the possible winning of the bit to construct the Square Kilometre Array, the largest radio telescope of the world in the Northern Cape, astronomers, researchers tourist guides, businessmen and many other possible stock holders are waiting anxiously for the final decision, namely,if it is going to be erected elsewhere, or in South Africa. A colleague, Chris Nel, who spent some of his childhood near the possible site, and I am planning to do a preliminary research for a possible module in astronomy for tourism management students. We hope to publish
some photo's quite soon.

Local inhabitants are now complaining about the restrictions on the use of telephones, windmill chargers etc. Only now , in 2016 ,they starting to experience the negative impact on their livelyhood in Calvinia. Question is why did they wait untill now when this huge SKA project is about to take off ? Why did the authorities not informed them properly about the very huge consequences??? A very strange phenomenon appears between rocket science and common public administration..or is the ignorance of the politically illiterate just overlooked for the glamourous achievements of international splendor ???
