South African Blog Awards 2006 Pictures

Following weeks of nominations and voting...the wait is finally over. The winners of the 2006 South African blog awards were finally announced on Thursday 16 March at ceremonies in Joburg and Cape Town. A full list of winners is available on the SA Blog Awards site. Big up to everyone who nominated and voted for Aquila Online and all the other nominees. Without the loyal readers and visitors, this would not have been possible. Below are some pictures of the Johannesburg function. If I missed some of the names, heck I'm sorry, post comments and I will update them accordingly.
