First Week Recap
We’ve finally done it and have gone live. Right now that’s just a teaser because here is still a lot of content to add for the first topic (14 stories to be exact).
Over the course of the next month, we will be adding a new story from a new writer every day or two. Fridays will mostly be a break day for a recap and breather for all of us, and a chance to go back and look at what has been happening.
Hint: If you want to look at a particular topic and see everyone’s entries for that category, take a look at the menu bar at the top of the page, right now you will see “July 2009….”. At the beginning of every month we will add a new one.
Now here’s your chance to have your say, comment here and let us know what you think so far.
This week has already been informative with a story on censorship in the “Old South Africa” – This Is Not Dallas And There Is No A-Team and another story from Diva detailing a number of issues Becoming South African.
On those topics, I have been doing some research and have found the following links. Firstly, an article from the New York Times in 1990, which I’m sure we didn’t get to see on the censorship issue.
The second is a time-line on the different acts which the governments put in place to further segregate, ending with the repealing of the Population Registry Act in 1991.
Remember, we are not trying to complain here or be negative, but rather learn from everyone’s own past.
Have a good weekend, see you on Monday.

It has been interesting so far! I think it will be even more so as we get to see more stories from so many different characters and personalities with such a wide variety of different writing styles.
