Hi Morgan, 

If you are looking to implement Asterisk in your company, I can highly
recommend getting in touch with a company by the name of Connection
Telecom (www.connection-telecom.com). The guy that runs the company,
Steve Davies, is a Linux (and much other) boffin of note, and is
recognised as probably the best Asterisk practitioner in Africa. Rob
Lith (Cape Town) is probably the best guy to speak to about what you
need. (no I don't get a kickback) They have offices in Cape Town and
Centurion.
