Nod. I requested a half scholarship.
I figured out that the scholarship envelop is fixed and that budget used for me would mean less budget to get africans attending. The Goethe Institute is very generously providing my travel and hotel costs. WMF is very generously supporting the other costs.
And since I finally got my visa and passport in the mailbox today... I am one happy camper !

I'm a bit curious here.
Was there an opening for non-scholarship individuals to join the Wiki Indaba 2017?

Mine was not a scholarship either. I'm due to arrive the 19th from British airways around 7:30PM. Sent hurriedly from my iPhone. Please forgive typos.

If not... can it be arranged ? If not... could you provide me with a recommandation on how to reach the hotel at a reasonable expense ?

A document is currently being prepared and should be shared with all participants by the weekend. It will contain all that you are asking for, however just to clear the air, there will be a shuttle to convey all participants from the airport to the hotel of stay. You arrival dates have been shared to allow the shuttle driver know when to come to the airport. Also there will be some team members to direct you to the bus, just look around for an individual(s) holding a card with the inscription *Wiki Indaba 17*. Hope this helps....

I think it will be helpful for all participants to have a description of the place (adress, phone numbers of hotel and/or contact person on the team) we have to go from the airport, what money to have ready for taxi or what transport to use. Even if you plan to provide transport it is still good to have that because something might go wrong upon arrival (missing each other etc).
