Hi Shaneel,
I am glad you have asked about Wiki Meetups in other parts of South Africa such as Pietermaritzburg. Wikimedia ZA is very supportive of local Wikimedians such as your self taking the initiative to organise local meetups. Please let me know if you do host a meetup. Event if it is just two people that would still be a great start.
Best regards,
Douglas.

Hello everyone,
Please see below for an invitation to a Wikimedia ZA event in Cape Town on the 2 November. We will be co-hosting an event with UCT's d-school of design to encourage more members of the design community to contribute to Wikipedia. If you are interested in joining us then it will take place immediately after the 21 Cape Town meetup happening on the same day. I am happy to take a few Wikimedians with me or you can meet me at Montebello Design centre. Please let me know if you want to join us so I can RSVP. If you are an experienced Wikipedia editor who wants to volunteer to help out on the day then just let me know.
Thanks,
Douglas.

Montebello is located in Newlands and is the result of a financial and property bequest by Cecil Michaelis. The project is situated in the farm buildings of the historic site of Montebello. These buildings and land have a colourful history, being the birth place of Ohlssons Brewery and Continental China.

Studios and workshops will be open to share stories of their creative and innovative work covering all aspects of design.
