			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve started writing for Global Voices. <a href="http://globalvoicesonline.org/2009/01/11/lessons-on-libel-south-african-blogger-sued-for-defamation/" target="_blank">My first post</a> is about the Donn Edwards libel case. I really enjoyed reading the different perceptions by bloggers about the case &#8211; it&#8217;s great to look out more than in for a change.</p>
<p>Most importantly, I&#8217;m wanting to help set up a more permanent home for bloggers to monitor freedom of expression cases in SA. We&#8217;ve learned some great lessons from this case, but until a case like this goes to court, there will be many more acts of intimidation against bloggers in the future. Anyone interested? Please email me or comment below.</p>
<p>Update 14 January 09 from Donn Edwards on his <a href="http://www.facebook.com/wall.php?id=47897759702" target="_blank">Facebook support group page</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8216;Hello everyone, the case has been SETTLED in a way that benefits everyone. The settlement is amicable and we had a meeting at the Protea Hotel in Midrand over breakfast and coffee. All parties win, and I thank you all for your support. I have made some new friendships through this ordeal, and it is good to know that the ordeal is over.&#8217;</p></blockquote>
