Aboubacar's answer
*Hi GeorgeThank you for sharing, as I was saying to Bobby yesterday, we're reserving posing as candidates for the time being until we can attend a meeting before we host.Wishing you all the best of health.*
So he means that for the time being, their community cannot yet submit an application, given that no member has yet taken part in a WikiIndaba meeting. In short, they don't have any experience of how it works in WikiIndaba yet.
Thank You

Dear All,
I just realised after receiving a response from Aboubacar Keita from Guinea that we need to think about translating our communications in future.
I don't trust Google Translate 100%. Can our French Speaking Colleagues kindly Translate for me the below:
Bonjour Bobby
Merci de nous avoir contacté en tant qu'affilié africain, nous nous réservons de poser comme candidats pour l'instant en attendant de participer à une rencontre avant d'être hôte.
Je souhaite une meilleure santé à la communauté
Best, Bobby Shabangu
