[Imc-ct] Urgent request from Montreal journalist.

[Peter van Heusden]

as she requested, and after discussion with some jo'burg comrades, i 
sent tamara an invite to come and work with indymedia south africa. 
having an intern around can't hurt. i asked her to clarify when she'll 
be in south africa, then we can figure out where her skills would be 
most useful, etc.
