Hi and happy to help with whatever and would be great to get a group of South Africans growing their Hive stakes. There is already a Hive map of Hiveans if I am not mistaken. I know Hive UK is active and has a list. Maybe a Hive SA account that upvotes content would be a good starting point which we could delegate to. Possibly setting up a discord channel for anyone new and needs assistance would also be helpful to keep everyone active.

Back in the old-blockchain days, before the hard fork, myself and @therneau and some of the others mentioned here were part of a Discord for SA and there is an account of some sort... but I don't think it's a "Community" account per se.
It upvotes me when I use #southafrica.
Well met!
So you are from Johannesburg?
As for a map, that totally in my head, but I could not find one. I know pinmapple is for posts on a map but not exactly people...
There is a map and will have a look where and who has it. Yes from Johannesburg. There are quite a few members in South Africa but not all are very active and would be great to get an account offering a vote. I know how hard it is to grow even though things are far easier today than 4 years ago.
If memory serves, @cheeto.blue created an account for exactly that... called @teamsouthafrica ... there was also a smaller @springbokkie curating bot too by ? @bmj ?
P.S. ... I think @therneau and/or @joanstewart might even still have the posting keys for @teamsouthafrica.
Now we need to know which of those are still active. I have now idea! At least there are pings!
@therneau & @joanstewart are still active... but all the others have fallen away... even before the HIVE fork.
P.S. Plan B: We start a new "TeamSA" account... I'm sure I could whip together a simple enough NodeJS script to (auto)vote #TeamSA posts if the account's VP is >98%, but the main problem is finding a few curators that will manually vote #TeamSA posts on a daily basis.
The previous TeamSouthAfrica discord worked really well... for a while... and then one by one curators (and authors) started dropping off until the discord became a ghost town.
P.S. I'm quite keen to get it started again (will devote some time to the bot/script, delegate some HP to get it started and even set up the discord etc. etc.)... are you keen to play (and/or find & manage) moderators/curators though?
Oh @therneau and I write a story together for sure. I interact with @joanstewart once in a while. We will either get some of the old group back or build a brand new band!
Another post for that I think.
I call upon @cryptoandcoffee, @therneau, @joanstewart, @joetunex, @lizelle, @fionasfavourites, @papilloncharity and whoever would like to participate in this line of conversation.
A TeamSA or reviving the TeamSouthAfrica group. Let's discuss this!
This reminds me of STEEM days I was new on the chain and still finding my feet, I joined TSA in the Discord back then but wasn't active.
Either reviving the old group or forming a new one will be for same goal, this is something am keen being part of.

Dropped the link in Discord ages ago if I remember correctly, will have to check.
Many come and go the original setup I think was @cheeto.blue who started the ball rolling may have the keys.
Original list I will DM you put together by @kiligirl and @darnscotty
I was invited by @gingerninja very early respondents to the Team @dragonslayer109, @awgbibb, @therneau.
@jaynie another who tried to revive at one time if my memory serves me well.
Yip. I am in. I can also reach out to joan. Another Saffa noob is @jacoalberts ...
Looking at it and I am with @cryptoandcoffee on this. Will advise where I can.
Off hand @fermentedphil (Cape province) and a few others that I know are also saffers. Can't think of their tags right now but will mention them when I see them again. Oh and @nikv as she is in Johannesburg.
@teamsouthafrica makes the most sense... but the problem is that nobody has the owner/active keys for it here on HIVE and the discord (while still there) is also owned/managed by those that have fallen by the wayside.
P.S. @TeamSA / #TeamSA was dominated by ?South Australians? on the previous chain... but I think we can reclaim that one if we form a strong enough ruck 😜😜😜
