Submitter’s note: They can’t keep the lights on – with 8+ hours a day “load shedding” i.e. rolling blackouts – but they going to build a base on the moon by 2030. That’s 7 years for the maff challenged. Because moon-bases is the priority for a country with 40% unemployment, housing crisis, power crisis, water crisis, infrastructure crisis, political incompetence, collapsing currency, and rampant corruption.

South Africa partners with China to build research base on the moon

Earlier this month, South Africa and China signed a Memorandum of Understanding launching a partnership that will see a research base built on the moon Picture: JUSTIN TALLIS / AFP

South Africa and China have signed a Memorandum of Understanding that will see the building of a research base on the moon.

The South African National Space Agency (Sansa) announced that a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Cen Xiaodong on behalf of the China National Space Administration (CNSA), the Ambassador of Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the Republic of South Africa, and Humbulani Mudau, the CEO of Sansa, marking SA’s formal entry into China’s International Lunar Research Station program.

The research base is expected to be completed by 2030.

In a statement, Sansa said under the MoU, South Africa will cooperate extensively on demonstration, mission implementation, operation and application, education and training of the ILRS.

“In addition, under the cooperation framework of BRICS Remote Sensing Satellite Constellation, China’s and South Africa’s space agencies carried out cooperations on remote sensing data exchange and application, and satellite ground stations,” the agency added.

Sansa said on the 25th anniversary of diplomatic relations establishment between China and South Africa, South Africa’s formal entry of ILRS Cooperation indicates that China-South Africa cooperation has been extended from near-earth space to the moon and deep space beyond.

“It plays a significant role in boosting technology advances and building a high-standard community with a shared future for China and SA,” Sansa stated.

In a statement, CNSA said South Africa’s participation shows the cooperation between China and South Africa extends from near-Earth space to the moon and deep space exploration, which will contribute to the space science and technology advancement between the two countries.

It’s a joint SA/Chinese endeavor to burn up in the Van Allen radiation belts.

This will be a great endeavor for the BRICS and probably a catastrophic situation for the US as the ChiComs weaponize space if it isn’t already happening !
Funny how a nation with a huge illiterate population that are killing and destroying the population that feed the country and kept the lights on are now participating in a moon base project WTF !

They can’t weaponize space, only the upper area below the dome. Kindly suggest to check what was Operation Fishbowl (a very telling name) and Operation Dominic (also telling). Worth to have a look to a real satellite launch, nice big helium filled balloons carry the stuff.

Plasma, they can’t. People are blinded by the propaganda, at dawn when the sky getting blue the moon very visibly semi transparent. I would kick myself being so ignorant so long and not noticing / thinking.

MEANWHILE… here on earth, they want to build all new buildings out of biomass, bamboo, stone and timber…..because: global warming (timber? their sacred wood?)

You Will Build Nothing & Be Happy: UN report urges ‘massive emission cuts in construction sector’ by using ‘gov’t regs & enforcement’ to achieve ‘Net Zero’ – Replace ‘concrete & steel’ with ‘stone, timber, & bamboo’

I noticed that nowhere is it being claimed as a “Manned Moon Base”

So basically they are sending some crap to the moon.
