An informal function took place at the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) in Observatory, Cape Town, on Friday 29 May 2009 to celebrate the arrival of four RFI-shielded containers for the Karoo Array Telescope (MeerKAT) project. The four special containers had been shipped over from The Netherlands. All the installation and testing would be done at the SAAO prior to transporting the four containers up to the site in the Northern Cape.
