The Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory (HartRAO), located near Johannesburg in South Africa, uses a 26 metre diameter radio telescope for radio astronomy and space geodesy. The telescope is equipped with microwave receivers operating from 18 cm to 2. 5 cm in wavelength. Instruments include MkIV, MkV and S2 VLBI terminals, radiometers, a spectrometer and pulsar timer. The telescope surface panels have been replaced with new solid panels to permit operation at 1. 3 cm wavelength.

Oostvallei Retirement Village / Aftree-Oord
Pretoria, South Africa
Oostvallei Retirement Village is situated in the East of Pretoria. The 120 residential units nestle among old leafy trees. The development of the village commenced in 1990 and the first occupants moved in a number of years ago. Oostvallei's beautiful tree rich gardens with its water streamlets and the added peace of mind brought about by the knowledge that anywhere within the village is entirely safe for walks are among the factors that enhance the graceful environment. This is indeed a little paradise. These are the lasting impressions after a visit to the village situated on the corner of Coley and Serene Streets in Garsfontein. The developers did not skimp on the development costs for the creation of a retirement village where senior citizens can enjoy complete peace of mind. From the planning stages the owners' point of view and philosophy was that this was not merely the creation of "a roof over the head" that they planned to provide, but rather lifestyle
