WinkBall is a citizen reporting company that covers all of South Africa's biggest and best events (music, gigs, politics, arts and sports of all sorts) from the fans perspective. We launched in South Africa in June 2010, just in time for the World Cup, and have since conducted over 93 000 interviews at events around the country. Winkball citizen video reporters armed with only their personality and video camera ask every-and-any-body appropriate, event related questions (from sport, music gigs, events, arts and culture and even politics). These "winks" (interviews) get uploaded to our website and are made public for all to see - voicing the opinions of the masses as opposed to those of the "celebrities" the other media tend to focus on. For more on what we do, you can visit our webpage - http://www.winkball.com/campaigns/southafrica. Extroverts with access to the internet and own transport to apply: joburg@winkball.com
