Africa's first Regional Conference gathers Wikimedians in Johannesburg

Looks good, but I would use the conference hashtag:
First ever #WikiIndaba
Conference in Johannesburg re-ignites passions for
building editing communities in Africa
- *t*: Wikimedians take Johannesburg for first ever Wiki Indaba
Regional Conference

I would modify as follows:
Last month, Wikimedians took Johannesburg for the first ever regional
Wikipedia conference in Africa

#WikiIndaba
- *f/g*: Dumisani Ndubane, Project lead for Wikimedia South Africa,
reflects on this past June's first ever Wiki Indaba Regional Conference "We
left the conference with a renewed sense of purpose and a united goal to
create Wikipedia editing communities in our respective countries through
clear communication channels and co-operation plans, even though we were
reminded that we don't have a magic wand to accomplish this overnight."

This quote is a little unwieldy. I like the following one better:
- *f/g*: They came from all over Africa, from Cameroon to Kenya, Egypt
to Namibia, Wikimedians congregate at first ever Wiki Indaba Regional
Conference held in Johannesburg, South Africa

With some fixes:
They came from all over Africa, from Cameroon to Kenya, Egypt to Namibia.
Wikimedians congregated at the first ever Wiki Indaba Regional Conference
held in Johannesburg, South Africa:
