A new blog about to be born

Hi all

I'm about to start this new blog. For now I'm just getting to know the ropes of what Blogger.com offers.

I'm a 36-year old city-boy currently living in the platteland (rural regions), on the coastline of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. I have a limited journalism background, spent a few years working as spokesperson for the University of Pretoria and have been the co-owner and managing director of Africa Deluxe Tours since 1998.

I have a keen interest in various aspects of my home country, the Southern Africa region and global issues. This blog will focus on my impressions, as a South African (based) individual on all things South(ern) African as well as insights on global issues as seen from this southern corner of the globe.

I'll be blogging away soon...

Mike
