Blogging Hiatus

Gentle Reader,

Some five years into the life of Afrika T, I now find myself unable to keep up with contributions at a level that I and you have come to expect from this blog. Partly this is because of other activities in responsible tourism (see example here, and another here), partly from other projects in sustainability (see examples here and here), and partly for reasons that are more personal.

I am certainly still active online and in responsible travel, so feel free to comment on existing posts here, to follow me on Twitter, and to note what I've been reading online via Delicious. I also hope to return to Afrika T, so am not bringing the blog to a halt, just declaring a hiatus of indefinite duration...

Thank you for your support over the years, and, if you're a newcomer to the site, may it still prove valuable.

Kind regards

Kurt

From Joburg to Jozi

The new edition of From Joburg to Jozi: Stories about Africa's infamous city is out from Penguin Books as of 1 Feb 2010. Edited by Heidi Holland (Dinner with Mugabe among others) and Adam Roberts (The Wonga Coup among others).

Stories, memoir, commentary, poetry contributed by many, including a story from yours truly (titled The Staying Ground).

All proceeds to Cotlands, who care for orphaned kids with HIV/Aids.

A great way to get beneath the surface of a city that millions call home but that millions more are terrified of. Paired with Stephen Watson's edited volume, A City Imagined (about Cape Town), makes a great way to understand South Africa through its two largest cities.

Makes a great gift, and supports a worthy cause.

Click here to buy now from Kalahari.net - new edition not available yet from amazon.com or amazon.co.uk
