Dear Wikipedians and fellow Open advocates
Hope you are all well? Please could you spread this call among your networks
to Africa-based Wikipedians far and wide.
WikiAfrica at the Africa Centre wishes to employ two wikipedians. These
wikipedians will have two tasks activating and assisting GLAM
organisations in their country, and encouraging, supporting and training new
wikipedians in their home country. Obviously spreading the word about and
getting by in for Creative Commons is key to this position. Please see the
link below for more details.

This sounds like its suitable for Oarabile Mudongo from Botswana. Only problem is that he is a full time student, unless he can make an arrangement with his university and family for the required three months in Cape Town.
You can contact him on mudongo.oarabile(a)yahoo.com
Good luck

Greetings WikimediaZA
My name is Oarabile Mudongo a fellow Wikipedian from *Wikimedia Botswana*.I
would like to pass my gratitute and thanks giving towards the invitation
you sent out in the mailling list to join you for the Cape Town meetup.This
email serves to notify you that i will be definitely attending the meetup
right from Botswana.
Wikimedia Botswana (Not accreditted by Wikimedia Foundation) is planning to
initiate a number of projects related to GLAM,Wikipedia in Educational
Programmes, Wiki Loves Munuments and lastly our major project of starting a
Wikimedia Chapter in Botswana,therefore taking part in this meetup is a way
of sharing ideas and more of benchmaking between the two chapters hence
benefiting on aspects of improving and assuaring active editing within
volunteers (Wikimedia Botswana).However as a member of a group of
volunteers planning Wikimedia Botswana i would like to be part of the
meetup to support you along in the projects you have embarked on and gain
more experience through my participation.
Am aware the venue of the meetup is Mexican Kitchen <
http://www.mexicankitchen.co.za/> on 13 Bloem
Street (between Long and Loop Street in the City
Bowl<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Bowl>),
Cape Town.
Time: 11am to 3pm
As per my plans and desires i will be leaving Botswana on a Friday early
morning by Bus and will be arriving in Cape Town on a Saturday morning.I
have family friends in Clainwilliam who could be accomodating me but it
seems like its a bit far from the venue since the venue is in Western Cape
,therefore i kindly ask anyone of you who resides in Cape Town near the
venue of the meetup to help me out with accomodation please as am also busy
fighting hard to find out from my other friends please!!!.
Looking forward to meeting you soon and hearing from a good samaritan out
there.
Regards!!!

@ Ian... I have avoided looking at your blog since 2009 as for me
personally, it is a reminder of how lazy I have become. Hopefully
JoburgpediA and other such initiatives this year and going foward will give
your tables some upwards trend.
thanks for sharing.

Hello Pieter
Sorry for only replying to your message now, I have been away for the long
weekend and got surprised with quite a backlog of emails. I see that there have
been responses on your talk page regarding the matter. Do you still need
support from my side? The links posted there are very good starting points and I
would have suggested the same.
I also copied the Wikimedia ZA general mailing list. I am sure that we will
also get responses from some of the members there, whom are most probably more
active contributors than me.
Kind regards
Lourie
