China-Africa: Chinese bloggers touring South Africa

There is a group of Chinese bloggers and journalists visiting South Africa in a group organized by the South African embassy in Beijing.

There are two financial journalists from Hong Kong, a sports journalist from China’s biggest football newspaper, three Chinese bloggers who write about youth culture, technology and travel, and a South African who has lived in China for 14 years and founded Danwei.org, China’s best known English language blog.

Alongside official dinners and meetings, they are hosting a meet-’n-greet braai on Camps Bay beach on Friday later afternoon / early evening, and are keen to meet people involved in the internet, Web2.0, blogging, technology, the advertising industry and arts & culture - especially the ways in which South Africans are modernising or keeping alive traditional art forms.

Anyone interested in attending should email jeremy@danwei.org or contact 072 3253071. You can also follow them on Twitter http://twitter.com/ChinaBloggersSA
