Grahamstown, South Africa. Where the players play.

From next week I will be blogging from Grahamstown, South Africa. Monday to Wednesday I’ll be at the 10th Highway Africa Conference. Thursday and Friday I’ll be at the first ever Digital Citizens Indaba.

I’d like to thank the organizers of both events for granting me a scholarship to attend. I have never met any of the organizers, all I did was fill in the scholarship form and voila, I am on a plane later on today. Nothing nefarious there despite what you may have read elsewhere. Next year make sure you fill out the scholarship application form and you could be networking at the 2nd Digital Citizens Indaba!

You’ll be happy you hear that I am not the only Kenyan blogger flying to South Africa. There is a strong team of KBW members attending featuring (in dancehall style) none other than the one you know as Kenyan Pundit, man like Bankelele and the one and only Marazzmatazz. If there are any other Kenyan bloggers attending please email me and let me know.

It is hard to describe how excited I am about all this. Here we are taking our online world and creating opportunities where we can affect positive change in the “real” world. If nothing else ears and eyes will be open. Send me your thoughts on what I could do out there for the KBW family.

By the way if I bump into Desmond Tutu (yes I know he won’t be just walking around waiting to be bumped into by mentalacrobatics, work with me here) I would not know what to say. What do you say to a living legend?

My camera is loaded and the iRiver as well in case the podcast bug bites.
