Namibian President Wins Mo Ibrahim Prize For Good Governance

                          Namibia's outgoing president has been named winner of the Mo Ibrahim Prize for "good governance" in Africa, the world's richest award that has seen a scarcity of worthy candidates.
                      Hifikepunye Pohamba, 79, is only the fourth winner of the $5 million annual prize, launched in 2007 with the aim of encouraging and rewarding good governance across a continent.
                      But the previous award was the fourth in five years to have gone unclaimed.
                     Mr Pohamba, a former rebel who fought for his country's independence, has served two terms as Namibian president.
                   He was first elected in 2004, and again in 2009. He is due to be succeeded by President-elect, Hage Geingob."
