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

Subject: Call for 2 Wikipedians from Africa for Africa
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.

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

Hello everyone!
I am pleased to announce the first Program Evaluation and Design Workshop!
- *When*: 22–23 June 2012
- *Where*: Budapest, Hungary
The application process is now open. We have only 20 slots available for
this workshop and the application deadline ends on May 17th. This two-day
event will be followed by a pre-conference workshop at Wikimania 2013.
Ideally, applicants would commit to attending both events.
*Why are we offering this workshop?* Over the next couple of years, the
Wikimedia Foundation will be building capacity among program leaders around
evaluation and program design. A better understanding of how to increase
impact through better planning, execution and evaluation of programs &
activities will help us to move a step closer to achieving our mission of
offering a free, high quality encyclopedia to our readers around the world.
*What will take place at this and the following workshops?* Our long-term
goals are:
1. Participants gain a basic shared understanding of program evaluation
2. Participants will work collaboratively to map and prioritize
measurable outcomes, beginning with a focus on the most common program &
activities
3. Participants will gain increased fluency in common language of
evaluation (i.e. goals versus objectives, inputs & outputs versus outcomes
& impact)
4. Participants will learn and practice how to extract and report data
using the UserMetrics API
5. Participants will commit to working as a community of evaluation
leaders who will implement evaluation strategies in their programmatic
activities and report back at the pre-conference workshop at Wikimania 2013
6. …and participants will have a lot of fun and enjoy networking with
other program leaders!
We will publish a detailed agenda for the event in Budapest soon on meta.
*Which programs & activities are we going to focus on?* During the workshop
in Budapest, we will only have a limited amount of time. Therefore, we will
be focusing on the some of the more common programs & activities:
- *Wikipedia editing workshops* where participants learn how to or
actively edit (i.e. edit-a-thon, wikiparty, hands-on Wikipedia workshop)
- *Content donations* through partnerships with GLAMs & related
organizations
- *Wiki Takes/Expeditions* where volunteers participate in day/weekend
events to photograph site specific content
- *Wiki Loves Monuments* which takes place in September
- *Education program/classroom editing* where volunteers support
educators who have students editing Wikipedia in the classroom
- *Writing competitions* which generally take place online in the form
of contests, WikiCup, and challenges – often engaging experienced editors
to improve content.
*Who should apply?* Community members who play an *active role* in
planning and executing programs & activities as described above in the
Wikimedia community. Your experience and knowledge will make this workshop
a success!
*What about the costs for travel and accommodation?* Hotels, flights and
other transportation costs will be on your chapter; the Wikimedia
Foundation will provide the venue, handouts, breakfasts and light lunches,
and a dinner for all participants on Saturday. If you're not affiliated
with a chapter and cannot afford to attend the event, please send me a
private email – we have a small amount of money set aside for those cases.
Applications are open until May 17. You can apply via this Google
Form<https://docs.google.com/a/wikimedia.org/forms/d/11yCoOls5ae8FqAXIdp9Tua76il…>
.
Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to a great group of
participants!
Sarah
