In collaboration with international partners, South Africa plans to construct a 10-m class telescope for optical/infrared astronomy. This Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) will be a southern hemisphere equivalent of the Hobby-Eberly Telescope recently completed at McDonald Observatory, Texas. By limiting the scientific mission to primarily spectroscopic survey studies with some reduced imaging capability, it is possible to construct SALT for 20% of the cost of a general-purpose 10-m class telescope. The telescope will operate in queue-scheduled mode which opens up new applications in the time-dependent domain. A description of SALT, its capabilities, and samples of the science programme will be presented.
