Festus the finest
Botswana's former president, Festus Mogae has been awarded a US$5,000,000 prize to encourage good governance. The Ibrahim Prize, set up by Sudanese businessman, Mo Ibrahim, is the most valuable individual prize in the world.
Mogae, whose second term of office ended in April, was praised for tackling HIV and Aids and for diversifying the economy. According to a report recently published by the Ibrahim Foundation, governance in Africa has improved.
Mauritius is ranked as the best-governed of 48 African countries, and Liberia is classed as having made the most progress.
