The father and son pair of Carel and Johan Frylinck are the owners and administrators of the website www.southafricatoday.net.

The website is a partisan news aggregation website that publishes stories without identifying the authors of its articles, and takes active steps to hide the details of their involvement from the website.

The pair hailed from the coastal town of Mossel Bay, and emigrated to Thailand when Johan was 19 years old. They were traced back to the website using WHOIS records, CIPC Company information, Wikipedia entries and Facebook posts.
