Calling all Africans to come join the community and help us grow and develop together to provide a better future for all Africans on steemit.
This will be something I do every week to help grow and gather the community. Please comment your username below and where you are from. Also join us on steemit chat (remember to use the same username) if your steemit chat username is different, it will be a lot harder to put you in the channel. If it is different then send me your steemit chat username.
If you are already in the community, please help me by finding others that belong in here and send me their names.
We have 76 users already for week 1, I am aiming to get to 150 by week 2. So far it has grown really fast and I thank all of those who have helped out so far.
All those from Africa please use the #africa tag.
Why are Communities Important?
It is quite simple: alone it is harder to learn and develop, but with the help of others. To illustrate this point: many new users join steemit, whether through a friend or some other means, they have not yet experienced how steemit works. They are told you can post whatever they want? So they do so, sadly they don't know any better and get flagged. Thus their steemit experience is negative and they leave.
Communities are there to help guild and support everyone in it, if this person above was in the community he/she would of easily been able to be lead right, had all their questions answered and would become an asset to the community and steemit.
Communities are a great thing as all those who are in them are different, they have different skills and information they can offer to others. A community that works together is strong and can do anything.
This Community
This community is strictly for any and all steemians that come from Africa. As this is just the start we will need to get all those involved to help find, grow and contribute to this community. I, with some others, will be providing some valuable information and tips for all those new to steemit in the community.
We will be leading and developing this community to make each users experience better. The object is to get as many active users on steemit to better steemit as well as strengthen and support all those who are in the community.
This community will be based on steemit chat (https://steemit.chat) where we will be answering any questions and helping all those inside it with the support they need. We ask you to tell all your friends and anyone you know that is from Africa to join this community and help each other out.

@tinashe Zimbabwe.
TIS (This is Steemit), i welcome all africans. Its a great opportunity to unite and also make some bucks ;)
right...are you african too...which country?
Africa unites.. i'm from south africa please add me to the african community.. i use the same username on steemit chat
Sure thing :)
wow...where in south afrca...
Durban
durban js a beautiful city....wanted to visit SA but was a bit scared because of what i saw online how they treat fellow africans...hope all is ok now...
Great initiative! I was only 17 when I travelled 2 weeks to Eritrea and lived with a local family where one of the children my age went to a school that our High-school in Norway was in touch with. I remember thinking that while there is only so much we could do bringing in English dictionaries and materials for biology and math-classes, surely in an age of the internet one could more effectively share knowledge and tools to help different communities.
I'm excited about your efforts, and hope to be able to contribute over steemit if possible :) keep on building!
What steemit could bring to Africa would be a huge blessing for millions.
@fredrikaa, good to see you that you have been in a part of africa before. Your contributions will definitely be a blessing to the group.
Whoo hoo .... @breezin from Limpopo South Africa reporting for duty Captain!
Welcome. I have added you to the channels already unless you have change your name :)
Awesome!!
nice comment @breezin
Howz SA today?
Thank you. Where I live quite peaceful, and warm despite the fact that we are mid winter.
wow...winter in SA just like that of Russia?
which city?
any pics of the city...
I doubt, we do not have snow in the winter, we are close to the equator so our winter days average out at about 25 deg celcius (quite hot huh?)
The closest city to me is about 120kms from where I live.
thanks for the update...will help me plan when to visit
Thats great, I am glad that I could be of some help
This post contains pictures of the area I live in, it will give you an idea of the landscape here by us...
great...thanks for sharing
whats the lowest temperature during winter in your city
My pleasure, the rest of the country can get quite cold, it is only up north that our temperatures are still quite hot during winter
The African Renaissance which we never cease to call with all our wishes should be neither a stake wish nor an empty shell. It is a noble, relevant, even necessary objective in the historical period we are living. Has it not been said somewhere that "African man has not entered history sufficiently"? Should we invalidate or confirm this assertion? Kwame Nkrumah, Sheikh Anta Diop, Nelson Mandela, and closer to us Thabo Mbeki, and others have not called for a burst of "African regeneration"? It is the same for Joseph Ki Zerbo and the various researchers and activists of the Pan-African cause who necessarily pose as a prerequisite the African Renaissance.
But does the photographic snapshot of the moment, the general situation of Africa, militate in favor of this noble ideal?
It is true that it may seem redundant, even tiresome, even useless to continue to dwell on the need for Africans to take - finally - body-fasten their own destiny, like all the nations of the world. But we must sacrifice to tradition and give our point of view on the question, however modest it may be. In any case, would our conscience allow us to fail in our duty
Upvoted & Followed

Unity is one thing that is attainable with like minds. Africa is a continent filled with diverse cultures and values that have similarities but one thing is leaders are filled with so much greed that they think about themselves and not their people. If the leadership is right then the followers will live right. Take for instance a country led by a corrupt man who is so old and frail and the youths look up to such a man for hopes and in turn decides to follow in his steps when they get such an opportunity to lead and the cycle continues. The solution lies in our thinking as africans, we need to change it. Proudly African.
i feel you bros...i know which country you referring;)
nice comment
There is progress in unity. Thank you, @dragonslayer109
