Interview: Randvest chairman Isaac Mophatlane

--:--
In this episode of the TechCentral podcast, editor Duncan McLeod catches up with former BCX CEO Isaac Mophatlane, who now chairs Randvest Technology Holdings, about Randvest's acquisition of BT-SA.
BT-SA is an ICT infrastructure solutions provider that offers data network, communications, air-conditioning, electrical and security solutions to businesses in Southern Africa.
Randvest, which has acquired 100% of BT-SA for an undisclosed sum, plans to make more acquisitions - at least two by the end of the year, according to Mophatlane.
In the podcast, Mophatlane talks about what he's been doing since leaving BCX, the business he co-founded with his late brother Benjamin, and explains the rationale for the BT-SA deal.
