After the Ubuntu-ZA site went down, David Rubin wanted to organise to have the site redone. As a long-time helper with the site, he asked me what my thoughts were, and we agreed that a wiki was possibly not such a great idea, especially when the Ubuntu wiki contains a lot of helpful information already, and our wiki was mostly being used for news and static content. We thought that it was possibly duplicating content from the Ubuntu wiki, and therefore there wasn't much use in making the site a wiki.
So, after deciding to move away from a wiki, we were left with the decision of which CMS to use (there was no question about not using a CMS). Since I have a fair amount of experience with Drupal, and I know that a number of the other folks in the Ubuntu-ZA community know and use Drupal, we decided to use Drupal.
With the release of Lucid just afew weeks away, and a new colour scheme unveiled, I decided to create a Drupal theme with the new colours, rather than stick with the old theme. And after a week in use and some fixes, I have created a project on Launchpad for the theme, and uploaded the source code to Bazaar.
