As more Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are being localised, we are learning thatsome fraction have persistent radio sources (PRSs). Such a discovery motivatesan improvement in our understanding of the nature of those counterparts, therelation to the bursts themselves and why only some FRBs have PRSs. We reporton observations made of FRB 20121102A with the MeerKAT radio telescope. Acrossfive epochs, we detect the PRS associated with FRB 20121102A. Our observationsare split into a cluster of four epochs (MJD 58732 - 58764) and a separatesingle epoch about 1000days later. The measured flux density is constant acrossthe first four observations but then decays by more than one-third in the finalobservation. Our observations on MJD 58736 coincided with the detections of 11bursts from FRB 20121102A by the MeerTRAP backend, seven of which we detectedin the image plane. We discuss the importance of image plane detections whenconsidering the commensal transient searches being performed with MeerKAT andother radio facilities. We find that MeerKAT is so sensitive that within atwo-second image, we can detect any FRB with a flux density above 2.4mJy at1.3GHz and so could localise every FRB that has been detected by CHIME to date.
