    Thanks for the post, I think you may want to clarify that it is not possible to verify your WOZA page in webmaster tools unless you get the free .co.za domain name. So long as your page has the sub domain like whatis.wozaonline.co.za it will not allow you to verify. Google will ask if you want a free co.za domain after your account has been active for a few days, only then once you have ownership of whatever domain you choose can you verify your new page in webmaster tools. Same goes for Google Analytics. There are limited built in analytics on your Woza page and you will not be able to get the full scale analytics until you have your own domain.
