Beautifully summarised in the last sentence. The same allegations we South African level at our politicians are being thrown at the Namibian elite. I don't think this is a strictly African feature but it is very prevalent on our continent.
The deeper issue with Namibia is Namibianisation – a transparent and equitable state procurement system would go along way to solve this problem.
