Hi,

I’m getting ready for the Great Debate in a week’s time, where myself and Daniel (from Groupon) will be debating whether Cape Town has a vibrant Tech community. I was asked to debate that there ISN’T a strong enough community — take a look at all the events below this week and decide for yourself whether there is enough going on!

Have a great week.
