Keeping us POSTed

The work of the post-production team includes design work, visual edits, lettering, sponsorship placements… and everything else a job needs before it goes to the printing press. Every project on Strika’s books passes through the team, and they’ve just completed work on the 70th issue of Supa Strikas. From the left are Paul Harrison, Jason Lewis, Gonzalo Vargas, Darron Gelderbloem and Shameema Dharsey, with Deon Coetzee at the back and the foot of Table Mountain behind him.

MakhosonkeZuma.com

2008 is only four months old, but the article count on Strika’s websites has already passed the 300 mark. The guy responsible for this is Makhosonke Zuma - researcher, writer and soccer guru. Supa Strikas has a website for each of its territories, and Makho makes sure each site has three new stories per week. He also writes all the articles for the official Supa Tigers website. And when he's not updating fixtures or putting the latest comic online, Makho joins the brainstorming team to come up with the next Supa Strikas story.
