Deep in South Africa is experimenting with new ways of telling a story and leveraging powerful new web technologies that facilitate that.

This is a first foray into online documentary making with this app, so please let us know in the comments or contact us about any technical problems faced.

He quipped that the political parties would enjoy ‘good meals’ and full access to both ‘technology and Internet connectivity’.
