Hi @vanzyl, thanks for the great comments, wondered where you were! Will check it out, you should try joining #teamsouthafrica on Discord, a number of South Africans there supporting each other!
Suggest you also enter @jaybird's SteemitSandwichContest, make something typical South African braai broodjie/ pancake with savoury filling etc etc, a great community there and you're guaranteed to make some bucks, but check out his blog, ie your post must have at least one validation sign and you need to reply with your link in his weekly contest announcement post.
Good luck!
