Sarah Montague talks Hage Geingob, the President of Namibia.
Namibia is rich in minerals and gemstones so is relatively
prosperous with good economic growth. Yet it is one of the most
unequal societies in the world. There is extreme poverty with
many struggling to get enough food to survive. Hage Geingob
declared war on poverty and inequality when he became president,
in March this year. Before that he had been prime minister for
many of the 25 years since independence, so what difference can
he make now?
