A few highlights :


Representing Afrikaans



For the first time WMZA has appointed a member of the Afrikaans speaking community to represent the language. As a Chapter, our aim is to represent all the languages in South Africa, and Afrikaans is a significant part of the editing community. This appointment is the first step to expanding the Afrikaans Wikipedia, and giving the editors / contributors a voice.
