Hello everyone,
This is just a reminder and quick update about the upcoming Wiki meetup
<Wikipedia:Meetup/South Africa/South Africa 30> happening this Saturday, 29
July 2023, from 10:00 to 12:00 SAST. The event will happen both online via
our Discord channel <https://discord.gg/HwBwHWWurr>and in person at Truth
Coffee, 36 Buitenkant Street in Cape Town.
For those of us attending in person in Cape Town I have the following
updates. Some of you have heard that a bus hit
<https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/news/caffeine-crash-myciti-bus-sm…>the
front entrance of Truth Coffee where we will be hosting Saturday's event in
Cape Town. I have confirmed with the venue that the crash has *not
significantly damaged the site* and as such we will still be hosting the
event at Truth Coffee. The damage was superficial. The venue has not
changed.
Also, we have had a second bunch of t-shirts printed up for paid up chapter
members, I have attached a picture of a cheap model (myself) wearing one of
the t-shirts which we will be giving out to chapter members at the meetup.
So if you are a paid up chapter member then join us in person in Cape Town
and get a t-shirt. The other half of the t-shirts that have been made are
being sent to the chapter offices in Gauteng for use there.
