How many rationalists live in Africa, and especially South Africa? I'm kind of surprised that there is no LW meetup anywhere in Africa, I would have guessed that at least South Africa or Nigeria are sufficiently developed and have sufficiently prevalent internet access to have one. Should somebody who has more conscientiousness than I do (at least for now) start one here in South Africa?
In general you start meetups in cities and not countries. Do you happen to live Johannesburg or Cape Town?

It doesn't need that much conscientiousness. You just need to reserve a table at a restaurant.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
