YouTube Launches in South Africa
Says Google, “… we’re excited to launch http://www.youtube.co.za, a South African version of YouTube and our first domain on the continent. The goal here is to give South Africans a way to easily discover local content and content producers. From now on when users in South Africa visit the site, they will see, for example, the most popular and most viewed videos in South Africa along with local content that closely matches their interests.”

I also heard a rumour that Google has YouTube servers caching local content here in South Africa too. This is great news! It means faster streaming, local bandwidth and an ever-increasing commitment by Google to host their services here in SA.
Their Google Maps Street View for South Africa is about to launch here too!
