  We study the potential of the Square Kilometre Array in the first phase
(SKA1) in detecting dark matter annihilation signals from dwarf spheroidals in
the form of diffuse radio synchrotron. Taking the minimal supersymmetric
standard model as illustration, we show that it is possible to detect such
signals for dark matter masses about an order of magnitude beyond the reach of
the Large Hadron Collider, with about 100 hours of observation with the SKA1.
