I've had the opportunity to work with one of their managers, Henry, and he's briefed me about their product. The other company is BSL. It seems to be founded by a Kenyan lady and a Ghanian AKA the 'Bill Gates of Ghana'. However from a lengthy article posted yesterday by a Skunker, it seems their operations are targeted at African merchants who want to sell to the diaspora.

Quite frankly, I found the "Bill Gates of Africa" anectode stupifying
African ICT intellect and innovation aspirations. The symbolisation
represents a past era "Cathedral" business model while "the future is
Open" and collaborative. I am inclined to consider those that
subscribe to it as "clinging onto a past when the future beckons."
What we need are incomparable, homegrown solutions successes, not
trying too hard to imitate others nor 'feel too good', if at all, when
compared as such.

We have the power to read and write our own code, just need do it!:~)
