Makana Moon

• Former owner

  • Feb 1995 - Feb 2022

  "Moon" was an independent, free, community news site serving Grahamstown and Makana in the Eastern Cape. It started on 1 November 2007 in print and after three years of weekly publication, I got tired and moved into blogging and the website. Hits in less than a year? 96 000. Moon provided an alternative view on politics and community. I closed it down in March, 2012 and took up a post at the Daily Dispatch.
