MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) was pointed to the  GRB241127.91 19 sec after notice time and 35 sec after trigger time at 2024-11-27 21:43:51 UT. On our 3-th (20s exposure)  set , obtained 93 sec after tigger time at 2024-11-27 21:44:49 UT, we  found 1 optical transient within Swift error-box (ra=327.921 dec=-56.685 r=0.05) brighter than  17.4.
