Good Afternoon Mr. Goulkan
I trust that you are keeping well. As per attached e-mail, RE:
Introduction of Wikimedia-ZA and Wiki Loves Monuments 2012.
I would really love an opportunity to discuss a possible joint venture with the NHC.
Kindest regards
Dumisani Ndubane

Good Morning Mr. Mdikane
It was a pleasure talking to you over the telephone this morning.
Wikimedia-ZA is a non-profit organization and a South African Chapter 
of Wikimedia Foundation, the volunteers who brought Wikipedia and 
other wikimedia projects.
We are organizing a picture contest to be held in the heritage month 
of september this year. The aim of the contest is to raise publick 
awareness about Heritage sites and monuments in South Africa.
People from all provinces and walks of life will be invited to take 
photographs of provincial or national heritage sites and then upload 
these to Wiki Commons, a data base of free images to can be accessed 
and used by everyone.
South African Monuments and heritage sites are poorly covered in 
wikipedia (The fourth most accessed website worldwide). We intend to 
change this with the photo competition.
We would love to meet with you or your collegues at the NHC to discuss 
possible partnership going foward not only confined to this 
competition but many other projects. We are very interested in your 
planned collaborative wiki on historical heritage shared with other 
African countries and institution in Africa and we believe that we are 
well placed to be of some assistance in getting this project going as well.
We would love to meet some time next week to discuss these 
possibilities in person. My contact details are as follows:
Tel (Work): (011) 608 5000
Cell:           (078) 019 3020
e-mail:        dumisanin@iburst.co.za
Looking foward to hearing from your office.
Kindest regards
Dumisani Ndubane
