We present optical spectra of gravitational lenses that were discovered in the Herschel-ATLAS (www.h-atlas.org) maps and subsequently observed with the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT). From the spectra of the lenses and the related systems observed in the same SALT program, astrophysical parameters such as redshifts and lens masses are determined and their astrophysical implications described for the for the sample and also individual systems.
