==Welcome==
Welcome to my user page. Please excuse the mess and vomit for now; I will be improving the layout of my userpage one day when I have time, maybe in a few years.

I am a South African and live just outside of [[Cape Town]].

My focus is principally on [[South Africa|South African]] articles, a very under-represented part of Wikipedia. Although my focus is occasionally diverted to video-game related articles, most of my time is spent on tasks related to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject South Africa|WikiProject South Africa]]. 

Feel at liberty to drop a line on my discussion page or edit the "to do" list below if you have any particular requests.

==WikiProject South Africa==
{{Main|Wikipedia:WikiProject South Africa}}
