We have been observing the sub-parsec-scale radio jet in the nucleus of Centaurus A, the closest active radio galaxy, at 8.4 GHz over the last 6 years with the SHEVE array and most recently with the VLBA at 8.4 and 22.2 GHz. In this paper we will review the results of these observations and give a brief summary of our interpretation, concentrating on the evolution of the sub-parsec-scale jet structure with time; subluminal component motions and rapid short timescale evolution. A full description of this work is soon to be published in a major journal article.
