MyWeku VOICES is our way of providing you, with a platform to discuss and write about ALL THINGS AFRICAN. We do this by:

Giving you the opportunity to send us original, quirky, interesting and intellectually stimulating articles, reviews, rants and recommendations at voices@myweku.com
Providing you with a place, a destination, an online community that is defined by shared interests.

Even though our readership is diverse in so many ways, MyWeku VOICES allows you and other members to discuss interesting subjects from all four corners of the globe

In the coming months and years some of you will build enduring friendships, make effective use of each others’ professional skills and networks, instigate quarrels and grudges, disagree and argue over a myriad of issues and who knows some may even fall in and out of love.

However, we hope that our unyielding desire to create a worldwide Weku (family/gathering) of independent minded people will spur you on to contribute positively in this community!

This community does not exist in a vacuum. It is made up of the following features:

Profiles: Members can create an account for themselves here. Details such as an individual’s profession, interests and website can all be displayed here.

Groups: Groups are a gathering of members, wire posts and forum posts. Every group includes a place for group information, and the latest group news which can be kept up to date by group administrators. Groups also include a group forum and wire where group members can engage in discussions.

Forum: The Forum component allows groups to create and manage their own forum. Group members can post and reply to topics all from within the group’s page.

Some of you may already have regular spots that you hang out. The most powerful tool that we all use in these spots is our VOICE. Add your voice to this enchanting online village. Join Now!

We are constantly on the look out for interesting features and inspirational people to showcase. We hope that you’d be able to share your ideas and suggestions with us. Our mission is to work closely with writers, artists and entertainers – to bring you a fulfilling experience.

We hope you will be part of the MyWeku world by:

I hope that the force of this idea triggers a step change in the minds of readers and ultimately in the minds of those who are prepared to change the world for better.
