We are big fans of Wikipedia and believe that it will play an important role in the online information environment in the years to come. With over 1,5 million articles in host of different languaes (including Afrikaans), and with more than 50 million visitors daily, Wikipedia must be doing something right. This co.za site is not Wikipedia, but it is simply a local gateway to the overseas site. We have tried to put on this site those links that we think you may want to have at your finger tips. We hope we have got it right!

Wikipedia is not without its problems and so we do warn you to be circumspect in using Wikipedia - please refer to our disclaimer below. You may also want to visit the following sites.

In the righthand side column, we have included links to other websites that you may find useful. These are South African sites, so suport them, please.

If you have any suggestions, please e-mail us at ireality@icon.co.za.

Enjoy and support Wikipedia!
