Online Experts Directory
The people who make the South African online industry the interesting and exciting place that it is…
The following names have been listed due to the fact that their peers felt that they are influential and respected enough within the SA online industry to warrant a mention.
Our intention is not to create a list of everyone in SA working within the online field but rather to list those who are considered mentors and experts within their given skill sets, those who attend and speak at events and conferences and those who blog and tweet.
