   I’m so proud of the South African Twittersphere!

   Does anybody have any idea who started this? That person deserves a special mention!

   Great,I think South Africans can draw attention to South African/African issues in this way.South Africa is the tenth largest Twittering nation in the world.

   Next time you are trending topic on twitter ,invite me along @FlightAfrica and I will invite my Kenyan friends along.Cheers.

   This is great. Grew up in the states but my family is moving to SA in a year. This is good for SA, lots of people still think every part of Africa is rural villages.
