Naspers have acquired a controlling stake in Blueworld Communities, the entity which runs the websites Blueworld, Zoopedup and Gaypeers.
Naspers has bought a stake in Blueworld Communities, a social media company founded by Bradley Voges, Brendt Brooks and Charl Norman and which focuses on building and maintaining web technologies such as social networks.
Naspers’ interest in the company is a clear sign that the media giant is starting to invest in online brands which may potentially hold value in future.
The South African social and new media space is currently dominated by international websites like Facebook, Myspace and Youtube, but it is not unlikely that a few local brands may start to show healthy growth as well.
Neither Blueworld Communities nor Naspers were available to provide any feedback by the time of publication.
