Some statistical information about said blog - being this one

Here are today's stats showing the countries that have been hitting this blog over the last 24 hours.  

Country	Sessions
South Africa	234
United States	21
United Kingdom	5
Australia	4
Austria	2
United Arab Emirates	1
Barbados	1
Bahrain	1
Botswana	1
Belarus	1
	281

These stats come from Google Analytics which is still quite new to me, I only loaded it up a few months ago.  The data are not that surprising in terms of who looks at this blog.  The blog is dedicated to South Africa and to a certain extent other southern African countries - Namibia, Botswana and Zambia also have a look at it.  There is the occasional hit from Zimbabwe but that's probably because I had posted some stuff on the soon-to-fall bobby dicktator,  in the past. The United States is the second biggest consumer of this witty blog and is consistently so.  I would expect that the hits from Australia are either from my friend Gerhardus Burger who recently emigrated there and friends and family of David Kalmin (who I seriously miss - very sad loss).

But there has been a recent interest from Dubai, Doha, Manama and Riyadh - all from Saudi Arabia.  Isn't that where the guptas live now?  We know they are in Dubai.  Also there was one hit from New Delhi which is a mere 170km away from Saharanpur - the area where those roaches come from.  And this could be because of those two gupta posts.

I am now expecting to be trolled on twitter, discredited and labelled the spokesman for white monopoly capital.  Something I will relish.

I have no idea why Belarus would be interested in me.

Re: Namibia and mining and nationalisation - Dr. Okey Iheduru article

I was asked by the author of the article that I quoted in this last post to credit him for using his work.  The article came via Google alerts and was found on a Business Day website (not the South African Business Day, but a Nigerian one - although the mastheads on both are quite similar).   I explained to Dr Iheduru that I use Blog It, which is a Typepad app that allows me to highlight tracts from a web page and then post them directly to my blog.  The text that I post is indented and then credited underneath - it says "via etc etc", and is linked to the original source.  I then comment below this.

I was at pains to stress that I in no way ever purport this highlighted work to be my own - I use Blog It because it is so much quicker for me to post something on the fly.   I believe that I have cleared this up with Dr Iheduru and hope to quote from any of his other work that I happen across on my daily internet excursions.
