This year, we were honoured when Dr Bernie Fanaroff accepted our invitation to present the 2012 Lecture. Dr Fanaroff is the Project Director of the SKA (SA) Project. He presented the lecture titled "The SKA Telescope - a Science & Engineering Challenge & Opportunity”, which was held on 27 November 2012.

Due to his schedule, Dr Fanaroff could only present one lecture at Wits instead of the usual tour of lectures around the country. This afforded us the chance to stream the lecture live on the internet, thus making it available to a much wider audience. In addition, this also provided a unique opportunity for anyone to be enlightened about the finer details of this exceptional project.

The exercise of utilising a professional live internet feed has intrigued us almost as much as the SKA project, and we recognise the tremendous potential on offer for a wider dissemination of information. The lecture webcast will remain accessible online for six months. The link for this webcast is:
