I love the idea of MG’s list of 300 young South Africans you must take to lunch.
Mail & Guardian have, for some reason, taken it upon themselves to create a list of 300 young South Africans you have to take for lunch.
It is not an enviable task by any means. Someone is always going to point out that you missed some or other person out, it’s the nature of a list! I think MG does a sterling job and I think Elan also composed himself a great little list of people who should be considered for the list next year.
But this year I was fortunate enough to be added to the list of 300. Initially I paged through the Media section of the list and realised that I wasn’t there. I found myself buried in the Technology section. I think this depicts the progress of my career and illustrates the choices I’ve made in a very accessible way. I am no longer a man working to be heard in the media.
My insert read as follows:
Nic Haralambous; project manager; social media; Vodacom
From the get go, it’s obvious that Nic Haralambous is deeply in love with multimedia. The 24-year old attributes his preference for online over print media to his view of the internet as the more “democratic communication” medium.
Proactive is probably the best word to describe him. “Don’t bitch and moan, give solutions,” he says. It appears to be his mantra.
After hearing a speech by Bob Geldof on television in 2005, he booked a ticket to Edinburgh for the next day, where he rocked up with his film camera to photograph the G8 summit and he was beaten by riot police.
Haralambous has written and shot for the Sunday Times, designed websites for Financial Mail and managed blogspots for the Mail & Guardian. He also started up the website SA Rocks and recently moved from general manager of the social media website, Zoopy, to Vodacom. — Ilham RawootLunch spot: Plaka, Illovo, Johannesburg
I am joined on the list by Saul, Vincent, Vinny, Jason, Mike, Charl and many more deserving people. The youth in this country are here to stay and make a difference.
The list of categories is extensive and ranges from Technology to Media and Law to Sport amongst other great categories. So head over to Mail&Guardian and read the entire list, take your pick, call them up and set up a lunch meeting with one of the incredible 300 young South Africans on the list. Do it. I dare you.

I think its a good thing to draw that line in the sand for budding e-entrepreneurs to start following a community of those who have made an impression.
It would just be all the better if South Africa could make the web accessible to the hundreds of thousands who dont know what power it holds!
