Billing itself as "Africa's social media aggregator", Afrigator has just gone beta. (I liked the tagline on their current Alpha-release home page: "Africa's talking - are you listening?" But the switch probably makes sense if a large part of their audience is within Africa.)

There are separate pages for News, Blogs, Podcasts and Videos. The Blogs page shows latest blog posts by category: All, Life, Entertainment, Business, Tech, Politics, Religion, and Sport. (Unfortunately that page is filled with predictable spam from Online Pharmacy Shop at the moment; with luck that will be fixed soon.)

For thorough coverage see Charl Norman (South Africa) at BandwidthBlog and Marshall Kirkpatrick (USA) of Read/WriteWeb. Erik Hersman of White African adds a count of blogs by country.
