As so often happens, for one reason or another, the site has not been economically viable - even though it boasted columnists of the calibre of David Bullard and financial journalist David Gleason, as well as Nigel Owen, Bonga Ntshingila, Paul Whelan, Neels Blom, Sarah Britten and Ntokozo Tshabalala, who between them delivered material on an eclectic mix of subjects ranging from politics, to food, music and sports - and points between.
The site, according to Trapido, also enjoyed a substantial following; he says that in July 2011, for example, the site was visited by 180 000 unique readers and its figures had shown phenomenal growth over the short period of the site's existence.
Now the journey has ended... Go well, guys.
