The politics of doing business in SA and the rest of Africa is far too risky, for anyone with half a brain that was wanting to invest in and build something like the SKA. Your array would be useless almost right from the start, simply because its security couldn't even be guaranteed by or even from those that were tasked to secure it!!!. To set it up and run it there would eventually cost a lot more than setting it up here, simply because of that, let alone having to train the people to build and maintain it. The costs and the risks are just too high, even if the political inducements were somehow palatable, which in actual fact they're not.
