Other South African Android Developers

Due to my lack of availability, or the fact that I only freelance, I get asked a lot about whether or not there are other local Android developers that clients can contact. So I compiled this list with permission from the people/organizations listed, but please note that I have not worked with any of them personally (except where noted), so I cannot vouch for them.

If you are a South African Android developer with experience (you will need to have an app on the market or available as a demo) and would like to be added to this list, please contact me (with a link to your site or email address).
