A problem of the cosmological evolution of the IGM is recalled and anecessity to find distant (z>0.5) giant radio galaxies (GRGs) with the lobeenergy densities lower than about 10^{-14} J m^{-3} to solve this problem isemphasized. Therefore we undertake a search for such GRGs on the southern skyhemisphere using the SALT. In this paper we present a selected sample of theGRG candidates and the first deep detections of distant host galaxies, as wellas the low-resolution spectra of the galaxies identified on the DSS frames. Thedata collected during the Performance Verification (P-V) phase show that 21 of35 galaxies with the spectroscopic redshift have the projected linear sizegreater than 1 Mpc (for H_{0}=71 km\s\Mpc). However their redshifts do notexceed the value of 0.4 and the energy density in only two of them is less than10^{-14} J m^{-3}. A photometric redshift estimate of one of them (J1420-0545)suggests a linear extent larger than 4.8 Mpc, i.e. a larger than that of 3C236,the largest GRG known up to now.
