Vote For Table Mountain - The New 7 Wonders Of Nature!
Table Mountain is in the running to become one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, but this South African attraction is falling behind!
New7Wonders of Nature is an initiative started in 2007 to create a list of seven natural wonders chosen by people through a global poll. It is being led by Canadian-Swiss Bernard Weber and organized by the New7Wonders Foundation, a Swiss-based, government-controlled foundation. This campaign follows the New Seven Wonders of the World, which attracted 100 million votes from around the world.
The Official New7Wonders of Nature campaign started in 2007, immediately after the campaign to elect the man-made New Seven Wonders of the World, in which more than 100 million votes were cast. From over 440 participants representing over 220 countries and through a national qualification and race to become one of the Top 77, as well as the recommendations of the Panel of Experts led by Prof. Federico Mayor, the list of 28 "Official Finalist Candidates" has been determined.
There are just 21 days left for us South Africans to vote, to get our Table Mountain, one of only two nominees in Africa on the list of the new 7 Natural Wonders Of The World.
The New 7 Wonders will be announced on November 11, 2011 and we need your help to ensure our place in the history books.

South African jetsetters no longer have to forgo Internet connectivity, e-mail communication, SMS-services and even IPTV at 35000 feet.
WirelessG announced today that the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has approved WirelessG & Row 44’s application to install its in-flight Wi-Fi enabling equipment on board South African Commercial Aircraft. This will enable WirelessG to operate its G-Connect broadband services aboard commercial aircraft in South African skies. “Although we still await quality assurance of the final installation, the CAA is proud to announce its consent for the use of this technology in South Africa especially as it is a South African company that will exclusively offer the service.” says Subash Devkaran, Senior Manager: Aircraft Certification at CAA.
"This application is the first of its kind in Africa and will enhance the value proposition offered in the airline industry. It is not only the first time, but internationally very unique that a telecommunications company gets involved in the airline industry to such an extent where broadband will be supplied as part of a converged telecommunications service”, says Devkaran.
