South Africa to establish a civil space agency - thanks in part to SWF

South African President Kgalema Motlanthe has signed the South African National Space Agency Bill into law, which could see South Africa setting up its own space agency later this year to pull together all space-related activities in the country under one banner.

Dr. Ray Williamson, Executive Director of Secure World Foundation, participated in meetings during 2008 designed to put into place the policies necessary to establish the agency.
