[spectre] south africa connections

[Andreas Broeckmann]

dear friends,

i visited south africa (on invitation by the 
goethe-institut) in june this year and spent 
almost a fortnight in johannesburg and cape town, 
meeting people, visiting places, trying to get my 
head around a complex country.

below is a list of contacts that i have 
collected, or been given, during those two weeks, 
which i want to make available for people who are 
curious about the art and culture scene in south 
africa. i have not met or visited all of these, 
but i guess that all of these are interesting for 
making some first steps in a thriving scene.

find the same list here:

best regards, safe journey, and enjoy the world cup 2010!
