Hello everyone,
As many of you know we will be having the Wikimedia South Africa Annual
General Meeting on Saturday, 18 November 2023. The event will be held in
Johannesburg (exact location to be confirmed). In the three days before the
event (15-17 Nov) we will be hosting a workshop to create the chapter's
next 5 year plan. This is a very important event for the chapter because
the 5 year plan will lay out our activities for the foreseeable future and
determine our funding and project priorities.
Although you will be able to attend both events digitally we recognise that
there is no substitute for being involved in-person. As such we have a
sponsorship program for a limited number of Wikimedia South Africa chapter
members from outside of Gauteng to participate in these events. If you are
interested in attending the workshop and/or AGM in person, live outside of
the Gauteng area, and are a chapter member then please consider this
attendance sponsorship.
For people within Gauteng, you may still access the travel
sponsorship component to cover the costs of your travels to and from the
event location.
If you would like to access the sponsorship then please fill out this form:

If you have any queries about this process or if you are a chapter member
then please contact Shupai Mchuchu <shupai.mchuchu(a)wikimedia.org.za>za>.
