[kictanet] Mocality closing down?

[Muchiri Nyaggah]

OLX is a classified business more like Dealfish and probably why they
acquired Dealfish's operations on the continent.

Mark, Moses Kemibaro's Dotsavvy is still running, inMobi downsized its
physical presence in Africa a market that's still not quite mature for its
business model, OLX acquired Dealfish and continues to run the operations,
Ali Hussein is now running 3Mice Interactive...which company would you say
Moses joined and which folded?
