I’m *still* throwing this into the wind to see where the seeds fall, so here goes:
I’m looking to get in touch with anyone who is African or South African (or for that matter interested in matters relating to Africa / South Africa) that is interested in writing and/or blogging on matters relating to Africa/South Africa, especially if they’re not already doing so for technical reasons (as in, they’re not sure how it all works and so they’ve not really got started).
I’m looking for people from anywhere, so they don’t have to physically be in Africa, and I’m also interested in whether they are passionate and want to talk about stuff that is important to them. All the technical bits I can teach, so don’t let that be a limiting factor.
Also, if you’re already a writer, and/or have your own blog and you’re talking about Africa / South Africa, then please do get in touch.
Similarly, if you read and comment on this blog regular like, then please get in touch as well - I’ll probably mail you in the coming weeks but it would be good to get a heads up of your interest anyways.
If you know anyone that fits the above descriptions, then please forward this post to them!
Cool - here’s to the interweb and all it’s magicality 
mmmm, I’m South African, and might be interested….
Although I do write on my own blog, I don’t really get into the nitty gritty about SA. I just don’t feel its the right place for it. I do however, have alot to say about it, as I’m proudly SA!
Let me know what’s cooking in your pot, Gareth!
hey….
South African in London…and from what I can gather from reading your blog, living around your neck of the woods…
Although I dont post on my blog as much as I’d like to, I am keen for whatever you have up your sleeve.
Not too up to date on the political or sport situation in SA, but, funnily enough after reading Jason’s post on the web-standards situation in our homeland, it has become a point of interest for me.
hi gareth,
interested and intrigued, although not sure how much time I can commit
I have, however, forwarded your post by antiquated means (email
) to a few friends to see if anyone else is interested
do you have any more details on what kind of a tack you’re taking, or is that hush-hush? *is* there a specific tack, or is it open-ended (i.e. dependent on the writer)?
on a barely related tangent, have you seen Richard E Grant’s Wah-Wah? - *excellent* near-autobiographical film that includes colonial issues (the independence of Swaziland) amongst the human drama
looking forward to hearing more!

Yo, whassup.
South African, living in Newcastle, as you know. I don’t really blog much about SA on my personal blog (it’s more techie, to be honest), so keen to get involved.
Shout when you have more to share dude
I are here ready for to skryf! Just reveal the mystery soon. Am most intriqued.
count me in! Open Box employee, regular blogger, love to get involved
Hey
I am a South African based in Glasgow, Scotland. I blog a lot about politics, both SA and international.
Hey All
Thanks for all your responses!
Things have been fairly hectic around here of late (http://www.oneafrikan.com/archives/2006/08/18/the-going-on-holiday-post-updater-and-the-next-few-months/), so I haven’t been able to give this as much admin time as I would have liked, but I have been sponsoring some research time, and that’s probably the most important.
When I return from my holiday, I’ll get back to you all with what’s up - 2 pieces of good news really, that I hope to share with you, and something concrete to work with. It’s only a week, so not really a big deal! Have just been feeling a little guilty for not getting back to you sooner.
Anyways - speak soon, and please spread the word if you can - I hope you’re gonna love it

I’m interested! Let me know what it’s all about.
Thanks Biddles - will do
I’m a Sefrikan in Japan. I have two blogs, but neither of them are really about SA…little bits here and there. Some of my friends would be very interested though: http://www.internafrica.org ; http://www.houseit.blogspot.com ; http://www.despoticktock.blogsp@ot.com
Hey Dylan
Thanks for the heads up - know about the InternAfrica and Houseit blogs so they are already on the list of people to contact.
We’re not really looking for people specifically to talk about Africa - only two criteria are that you’re either:
1. African
2. talking about Africa (could be in NY for all intents and purposes)…
Lemme know if you’re still keen…
Regards
Gareth
Just started blogging, interested in recording experiences of 50 something trying to do it in London. If that helps - contact by all means.
