I found this post today. I started blogging earlier this year, and I'm from Durban in South Africa. I don't really post too much about South Africa on my personal blog, but I would be keen in participating in a South African blog project or whatever you are suggesting as I represent at least some part of our population. Let me know. nessie Hi Gareth

I know it’s a while since this post was commented on, so I’m not sure when and if this project has progressed. I found this post today. I started blogging earlier this year, and I’m from Durban in South Africa. I don’t really post too much about South Africa on my personal blog, but I would be keen in participating in a South African blog project or whatever you are suggesting as I represent at least some part of our population.

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 Hey Dylan

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 ;-) g Hey All

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

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. hey….
