The fall of a meteorite in Nqweba, in the Eastern Cape, and the collection of a fragment has led to a joint team of researchers and astronomers affiliated with the Astronomical Society of South Africa being formed to search for further meteorite fragments over a wide area of the province. The team from Rhodes University, Nelson Mandela University and the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) will collect data from official observatories and eyewitness accounts to piece together the details of the bolide event.
