Hello everyone,

This is just a reminder and quick update about the upcoming Wiki meetup <Wikipedia:Meetup/South Africa/South Africa 30> happening this Saturday, 29 July 2023, from 10:00 to 12:00 SAST. The event will happen both online via our Discord channel https://discord.gg/HwBwHWWurrand in person at Truth Coffee, 36 Buitenkant Street in Cape Town.

For those of us attending in person in Cape Town I have the following updates. Some of you have heard that a bus hit https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/news/caffeine-crash-myciti-bus-smashes-into-popular-cape-town-cbd-coffee-shop-leaving-several-injured-20230718the front entrance of Truth Coffee where we will be hosting Saturday's event in Cape Town. I have confirmed with the venue that the crash has *not significantly damaged the site* and as such we will still be hosting the event at Truth Coffee. The damage was superficial. The venue has not changed.

Also, we have had a second bunch of t-shirts printed up for paid up chapter members, I have attached a picture of a cheap model (myself) wearing one of the t-shirts which we will be giving out to chapter members at the meetup. So if you are a paid up chapter member then join us in person in Cape Town and get a t-shirt. The other half of the t-shirts that have been made are being sent to the chapter offices in Gauteng for use there.

Regards,
