Seeing SA through the eyes of US bloggers

Hosted by the International Marketing Council (IMC) of South Africa, the We Blog the World South Africa - Blogging South Africa Tour 2008 - is currently underway. As SA blogger Matthew Buckland writes, “the idea [is] to show some key US bloggers what our country is made of: the good, the bad and the complex.”
