Happy birthday Wikipedia

Local chapter

Whilst there are over 30 chapters operating globally, there are currently no established African chapters. Recently however, a group of South African volunteers has begun work on making the site more accessible and relevant to the local community and within this goal is the creation of a local chapter. The team will promote local awareness of the projects and their proper academic use, encourage translation efforts into local languages, support the creation of local free knowledge and media and offer scholarships for promising local students.
