I’m a Namibian student studying in Russia. I’m studying computer engineering and I love programming so much. I’ve been working as a game developer since last year here but I want to come back either home in Namibia or South Africa to work as a software developer when i finish in 2010 by July.
I was just thinking that you might be interested in getting someone from outside of SA in future.
I will really appriciate any reply.
