A project to extend the capabilities of MeerKAT has just started, as has the international Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project, so there are some significant developments happening at the observatory. The talk will present some of the spectacular results from MeerKAT, plans for the future, and how the MeerKAT engineering team contributed to the National Ventilator Project during the Covid crisis.”
