I know Abbas from Kenya put forth a GLAM grant {1} to WMF that was turned down, Perhaps this will fit him well if he is still interested. I have added him to the thread

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@yahoo.com
Good luck Dumi

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.
