Email from Anthony Hazell - Head of Relationship Management, Democratic Alliance Party, South Africa 26 Nov 2007
Hi Yang-May,
I am really enjoying your blog. I work for the official opposition in South
Africa, the Democratic Alliance, and am responsible of Marketing, including
online marketing. I have recently started to focus more on Web 2.0 (hence
my subscription to your feed :))
We have got a whole lot of new initiatives in the pipeline (and I have
started a personal blog to write about my experiences in charting these
waters - www.antsworldsa.wordpress.com).
Our currently leader, Helen Zille, is also the Mayor of Cape Town, and she
has a blog - helenzille.co.za - which was actually the initiative of a
supporter. She also has had about 35 video-logs uploaded to www.zoopy.com
(South Africa's answer to YouTube) in the last 6 months.
It's still early days for us, but I hope to make blogging and online
interaction a much bigger feature in our conversations with voters and
other stakeholders.
Warm regards,
Anthony Hazell
