MeerLICHT has been synced to MeerKAT since September 2022, with a total of 53 hours of synced data as of 9 August 2023. Our main aim is to simultaneously identify a possible optical counterpart to a Fast Radio Burst. 78 optical transients have been identified in the MeerLICHT data up until April 2023. I will present these optical transients. The next step in our research is to investigate the simultaneous radio data for these transients.
