THE GAME CHANGER JON CHERRY - CEO: Cherryflava
Described as a marketing genius (by other people) and a man who's not afraid of being stupid (by himself), he's the brains behind Cherryflava, a marketing consultancy that showcases trends that most folks haven't seen coming and specialises in marketing strategies that most folks wouldn't even think of. Founded in 2004, Cherryflava is ranked in the top 150 marketing sites in the world by Ad Age magazine, making it the only African site on the list.
NIC HARALAMBOUS - Blogger
Our online national praise singer, he's the blogger behind the proudly South African SA Rocks website. It's altering the way the world sees South Africa and even more importantly it's altering the way South Africans see South Africa. Instead of joining the chorus of ex-pats who're knocking SA, he's finding something positive to say about our nation... every single day.
YUSUF ABRAMJEE - Founder: Crime Line
Let's face it: for a while there, it looked like the law-breakers were winning... Until this man's crime-fighting initiative turned the tide in the fight for a law-abiding South Africa. Abramjee set up Crime Line on the simplest of ideas: giving members of the public a safe, anonymous platform from which to supply crime-busting tip-offs. As Crime Line closes in on 1 000 arrests and over R35-million in seizures, we're proud to acknowledge Abramjee's work.
