congratulations on a very interesting blog.
I have also just started one, http://www.africancapitalmarketsnews.com, also accessible on my website, http://www.afrigrow.com. Would you be interested to exchange bloglinks? – I have already added you to my website.
I’m still working mainly from local media reports and press releases on websites, until I get time and enough readers to warrant more original and analytic reports. I am focusing on the institutional developments – I used to be GM of the Namibian Stock Exchange a long time ago and I am still fascinated by the challenge of getting more liquidity into the African markets.
Any other places you can think to ask for links?
Also any interesting sites you can suggset for analysis and strategy for African markets?
Thanks in advance for your response.

Mr. Wulterkens,
I have just discovered your blog and I want to thank you — very interesting and informative. I am a research analyst interested in frontier markets, and I was wondering: do you know of any in-depth book(s) written on the subject? If you do, could you please recommend one or two for me to read? If you could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
