As you will likely know if you already signed up, Wonkie held a draw for all eligible email subscribers on Monday, 31 October 2011. It was our largest prize yet – a 16MB iPad… quite a way up from our initial media player, t-shirt and Wonkie pen awards when we first started off three years back! As an added bonus for subscribers, we also gave away 2 media players and 3 Wonkie pens for the runners up!

The winners have already been notified, and we will update this post as soon as we receive their permission to publish their names.

Wonkie would also like to take this opportunity to update readers on progress – to date, Wonkie has captured over 13,000 confirmed, opt-in subscribers (and another 6,000 unconfirmed ones!) Wonkie’s presence on facebook has also been steadily growing over the last year and now Wonkie now has over 5,000 facebook fans.

As always, Wonkie is most grateful for your support and thanks you! To recognise some of Wonkie’s top contributors (Peace, Mzu, a-maize-ingly-corny, Garth, Piedpyper, Madoba, Rio and a few more come immediately to mind) Wonkie is planning to give out some special awards – stay tuned to this post for updates!

This year has certainly flown by and a lot has been going on with Wonkie staff all over the world. For starters, it was great to receive the Best Political blog in South Africa award for 2010 at the SA Blog Awards. It was even more satisfying for Wonkie that the email and feed subscribers increased to over a whopping 11,300 last month. Add that to the 4,200+ fans on facebook and that makes for quite a huge following for a blog. So thank you all for reading and commenting – Wonkie appreciates it!

Now Wonkie has received some feedback and a few suggestions for topics which should be covered going forward. Before Wonkie makes any changes though, it would be great if you would please let us know your thoughts by completing the quick poll below:

On another positive note, the winning caption entry for the last bird-eat-bird photo caption challenge is Lindani who gets a Wonkie T-Shirt! You can see the caption challenge and the winning entry by clicking the link below:

Caught up in the spirit of the moment in South Africa, Wonkie will be taking a short break over the World Cup tournament until mid-July. Thanks again to Wonkie fans and especially our 10,000 plus subscribers – we hope you thoroughly enjoy the 2010 World Cup and the vibrant atmosphere in the country right now.. we look forward to cart00ning for you again soon!

Keep safe and don’t drink and drive! (And yes we know there’s a word missing in the image above – we just wanted to make sure you’re reading the notice carefully!)
