Mrs. Naledi Pandor, The Honorable Minister for Science and Technology & Prof. Justin Jonas Associate Director South African Square Kilometre Array says a few words going forward regarding the SKA and Stias. This is an ~4min extract from a 2hour array of talks, but I think an interresting extract nonetheless.

Surfing with dolphins, well almost...
Although the waves were too small, it was a gorgeous day and i couldn't resist a paddle in front of the lighthouse, milnerton cape town.
Waiting for a wave i noticed some dolphins in the distance. Long-beaked common dolphins i think (hey, who are you calling big nose).
They seemed to invite me along, so I paddled with them, and subsequently caught a wave in hope that they would follow suit.
Alas, i held their attention for but a brief moment, and they were off, but what a gorgeous way to start the day.

MY COW IS STUCK IN THE MUD
An old zulu proverb, 'inkomazi ibhajiwe' literally means "my cow
is stuck in the mud ". I say cow quite loosely, because the Nguni cattle are far from the absurd of the great Gary Larson,
but are majestic beasts.
Dating back to before the Bayete Nkosi King Shaka strolled through dense forest and open grasslands that is distinctly Zululand in the early 1800s, the Bhantu people were long seasoned cattle headers.
So when a young man happened to find his nguni cow stuck fast in the red mud, he would holler "inkomazi ibhajiwe" thus letting his fellow kinsmen know of his predicament, and help would soon be at hand.
I believe in archiving tales from the wizen and wizards alike. stories and traditions to be captured in Photography and HDV, from the San in the Kalahari to the Zulu and Afrikaner and English.
So i holler, "inkomazi ibhajiwe!", for my sacred cow is now stuck in the mud.
