  The MeerKAT radio telescope array, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope
(LSST), and eventually the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) will usher in a
remarkable new era in astronomy, with thousands of transients being discovered
and transmitted to the astronomical community in near-real-time each night.
Immediate spectroscopic follow-up will be critical to understanding their
early-time physics - a task to which the Southern African Large Telescope
(SALT) is uniquely suited, given its southerly latitude and the
14-degree-diameter uncorrected field (patrol area) of its 10-m spherical
primary mirror. A new telescope configuration is envisioned, incorporating
multiple mini-trackers that range around a much larger patrol area of 35
degrees in diameter. Each mini-tracker is equipped with a small spherical
aberration corrector feeding an efficient, low resolution spectrograph to
perform contemporaneous follow-up observations.
