It is always excellent news to hear about other countries getting involved. The one thing I impress on people when I talk about steemit is that it is the first True global social media site. Sure places like facebook and twitter have people from all over the world, but not in a way where they're all talking to one another like they are here.
And speaking of South Africa, there's a new addition to steemit from there- his name is Zane @enazwahsdarb, and he posts excellent content, very well thought out and highly positive and encouraging.

I hope your beautiful wife, daugher and step-son are well! (still look forward to an update on them at some point, love to see faces :)
