I love this initiative!!! Getting Africans onboard early as opposed to being the last would be so great for once, and I think the money to be made on Steem can have real influence on their lives.
I have visited Africa (Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia) twice myself and my family operates a tourism agency that supports local operators and we have made many wonderful friends there. I am going to try and pass information through to the Zimbabweans we know and perhaps they will know somebody for who Steemit would be a great thing to find and publish on, i am sure they have many interesting things to share with the world. Go Africa! Greetings from the Netherlands!
That will be an amazing idea :)
