Building from the discussions that took place at the [https://whoseknowledge.org/decolonizing-the-internet-conference/ Decolonizing the Internet conference] organised by Whose Knowledge in Cape town in 2018, we've continued and partnered with the Goethe Institut in Johannesburg to organise meet-ups and professional meetings where we spoke about the knowledge of marginalized communities who are mostly from Global South on the internet and how best can the Goethe Institut support WMZA's efforts and the community.
Some of these conversations can be found in this '''[https://www.goethe.de/prj/lat/en/dis/sci.html link]'''.</div>

WMZA Event organiser: {{u|bobbyshabangu}}

We've partnered with the Johannesburg city library and organized an edit-a-thon where we raised awereness about Wikimedia and taught book club members how to edit on Wikipedia.
Activity report can be found on the [[Johannesburg City Library edit workshop|link here]].

Organised by the Moleskin Foundation to promote primary education in South Africa and with the support of Wikimedia South Africa an event was held in Johannesburg.  The event involved school children learning about and editing Wikipedia.  Wikimedia ZA volunteer editors taught teachers and students how to edit Wikipedia and gave information on the pressing need for more indigenous South African language editors to edit local language Wikipedias in South Africa. This was seen by the chapter as an important basic education outreach activity that also had positive although relatively small content impacts on Wikipedia.  This event did not incur any financial costs to the chapter.</div>

On February 23 Wikimedia ZA hosted a day long workshop at the University of Cape Town to train History post-graduate students how to edit Wikipedia. Followup workshops at the university will be held.   It included a brief introduction to Wikipedia and Wikidata, things to keep in mind when editing and a practical 1Lib1Ref exercise. So far the seventeen participants in the program have created 184 articles, edited 925 existing articles, and added 673 references on English language Wikipedia. We are hoping to repeat this outreach program again in 2020.</div>
