I don't think anyone disputes your reasoning, but I think some of us are
puzzled by the need for a separate LoCo. Why not operate under the banner
of Ubuntu-ZA? Surely that gives you more weight? Cape Town has an Ubuntu-ZA
mini-community, Gauteng has an Ubuntu-ZA mini-community... sure they're
more on an informal level, but why can't Stellenbosch do the same?

I don't think creating a separate LoCo is a good idea, it kinda divides the
community.
