Abstract
The work in this chapter was published in Cantwell et al. (2016). I personally did all work presented in the paper except the observation and data reducation of the KAT-7 data presented in Sect. 3.2.1 which were carried out by our collaborator N. Oozeer.

MACS J2243.3-0935 was also observed by the GMRT for 7 h on 25th October 2010 at 610 Mz and 235 MHz. These observations were taken before upgrades began on the GMRT and are of lower quality than the new observations and are significantly contaminated with RFI. Including these data does not improve the image quality.
