Higher Education, Science and Innovation Minister Dr Blade Nzimande reported on Wednesday that a space infrastructure hub was going to be set up in the country. He was marking the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the South African National Space Agency (Sansa). Launched by the then Department of Science and Technology (now the Department of Science and Innovation) on December 9, 2010, the creation of Sansa allowed the country to align and coordinate better several space-related programmes that were then operating under different agencies. “I am … excited to share that Sansa was recently awarded funding towards the establishment of a Space Infrastructure Hub,” he highlighted. “This is because of the South African government’s plan to boost economic growth through infrastructure development.”
