The 2010 SA Blog Awards were announced in Cape Town last night, 25 September and London-based South African Mark Warren was awarded the Best Overseas SA Blog award!

Durbanite Mark has been living in London for a good few years and has been writing his blog, Pharside.co.uk, for just over a year. Since starting the blog on 17 September 2009, he has written about all sorts from his chance encounter of meeting Miss Pamela Anderson to his favourite watering holes in the SW London suburb of Wimbledon (which any regular Pharside readers will know are Bar Sia and The Slug). He has also reviewed his favourite bunny chow find in London and much more social commentary from a SA perspective. As his blog slogan says, "Wildly South African in London"! As a last push to garner final votes before the public voting closed last week, Mark made a bold video statement that he would undergo a full body wax should he win! Wild indeed!

The SA Blog Awards is a showcase of the very best of South African blogs, increasing exposure for South Africa's great bloggers, both locally and internationally! The 2010 SA Blog of the Year went to Afrikaans social commentary site www.waykykjy.co.za. There were 26 categories in total including food, travel, culture, parenting, politics, personal and more!
