South African Riches!

Good placement of subscription buttons, contact buttons etcetera. The header might be a bit larger than it needs to be, with a smaller banner up top you could also show more content immediatly to the reader.

You are using a great sharing tool at the bottom of your posts, the buttons are clean and only the most common social sharing networks are used. But then underneath those nice little buttons you repeat them all over again in text:

Email this • Email the author • Post a comment • Subscribe to this feed • Save to del.icio.us • Add to del.icio.us • Digg This! • Share on Facebook • outside.in: geotag this story • Discuss on Newsvine • Stumble It! • Add to Mixx!
If you could remove the repeated(digg, etc.) links from the bottom of your posts it could help readers transition to another post.

You have a lot of great widgets in the sidebar, I would keep experimenting with their layout and try to find things that really apply to your audience. Start by placing the framed widgets in one column and the link lists, word clouds and plain text in a separate column.
