Atomic Show 74 – Interview with Brian Paxton, MBendi Information Services

ByRod Adams

MBendi Information Services (Pty) Ltd is a company based in South Africa that is focused on providing business, economic, social, political and industrial information about Africa. All too few Americans and Europeans know much about Africa, its people, its needs and its aspirations.

I spoke with Brian Paxton, the Managing Director of MBendi Information Services this morning to get his insights. I have been visiting his company’s web site and receiving his excellent newsletter for several months and thought that it would be fun to have him as a guest for episode number 74 of The Atomic Show to share some of his thoughts about Africa’s energy challenges and resources.

Hope you enjoy the show.
