Hi,
My name is Abbas and I am subscribed to this list out of interest. As you may be aware, there are currently two events in Africa that'll be celebrating Wikipedia's 10th Anniversary in January: one in Cairo, and the other in Nairobi. (See http://ten.wikipedia.org)
I am the one organising the Nairobi event, and I thought that it might be imperative for me to share and invite my fellow Wikimedians in Africa about this event. Please find attached a formal invitation.
Wikimedia Kenya would highly appreciate the presence of member(s) from WM ZA at this event.
Thanks and success in starting up WMZA.
Sincerely,Abbas.
