WHEN GOVERNMENTS FIGHT INEQUALITY – Meet The President of Namibia

Please note, with apologies, that sound quality is poor.

Namibia is a country with a poisonous legacy of inequality as a
colony of Germany and later of apartheid South Africa, that only
received its independence in 1990.  Since then Namibia has
been reducing inequality since 1993, with a series of practical
policies like raising the minimum wage and introducing free primary
and secondary education.  Namibia is one of a growing number
of countries worldwide which are showing their commitment to
reducing inequality, and putting other governments to shame. In
this episode we hear an interview between Winnie and the President
of Namibia, Hage Geingob, and we discuss the policies that Namibia
and other countries like Ethiopia are putting in place to close the
gap.
