It’s always been pretty tough to represent locally when it comes to international awards online. The market is much larger than ours when you look abroad, many are dismissive of what we have to offer and some have simply yet to discover the jems that emerge from Africa.
However one blogger is breaking that mould. Glad to be a girl has taken home the Best African Weblog award at the Ninth Annual Weblog Awards. I think this is a fantastic achievement for the blog and for South African bloggers alike.
What a fantastic achievement and my congratulations go out to Philly Girl. Catch her on twitter too.

Yes, you read it. There are three SA blogs nominated for Best African Weblog this year at the 2008 Bloggies.
Tertia
ShaunOakes – Who I am a bit confused about.
GladToBeAGirl – Who I’ve never heard of till now.
Either way, right or wrong, up or down I think it’s a fantastic acheivement for the SA blogosphere to have three blogs nominated from one country in one category. Africa is a huge place with a lot of bloggers – believe it or not – and if we can win in the category then even better for us all!
Congratulations to all three. Now get over to the Bloggies page and VOTE VOTE VOTE!!
