Hi This article is one of the many locally that misunderstands how Wikipedia works: http://www.politicsweb.co.za/news-and-analysis/carl-niehaus-called-an-embarr...
It would be good as WikimediaZA to respond to these kind of things.
Unfortunately I'm off very shortly and will have no internet access for about a week, but perhaps we can work on a template and rapid response/press release for these kind of situations in future. Ideally it should - explain how Wikipedia works - mention Wikimedia ZA - mention that Wikipedia exists in languages besides English
