Mauritius, Cape Verde, Botswana and Seychelles are all better. Zimbabwe is down near the bottom. In last place is Somalia

South Africa ranks fifth overall on the 2011 Ibrahim Index on the quality of African governance, the Mo Ibrahim Foundation said on Monday.

Mauritius, Cape Verde, Botswana and Seychelles took the first four places out of 53.

Somalia was 53rd in the study of data which compiles 86 indicators to measure the effective delivery of public goods and services to African citizens.

Namibia was sixth, Lesotho eighth, Zambia 16th, Malawi 17th, Mozambique 21st, Madagascar 33rd and Zimbabwe 51st. Libya was 28th and Egypt 10th.

CAPE VERDE’S PIRES WINS LEADERSHIP AWARD

President Pedro Verona Pires of Cape Verde has won the 2011 Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership, committee chairman Salim Ahmed Salim said on Monday.

In 2009 and 2010, the Mo Ibrahim Foundation did not choose anyone because it felt no one made the grade.

Salim said via a video to Johannesburg that the committee had been impressed at how the country had graduated from the United Nations’ least developed category.

Pires had transformed his country from an autocratic to a democratic society, able to lose an election and accept the loss.

The country had also become a middle-income country despite few natural resources.

Spoken as someone who is experiencing the 5th best governed country in Africa and who is feeling extremely sorry for the 6th place onwards.

Yeah believe me, you really appreciate everything from working telecoms to traffic jams when you come back from some of the places :D
 
It's always a glass-half-empty approach with everyone, isn't it?

If we look at our country not from the perspective of running it but rather running it into the ground, then we're probably in first place! Or maybe a close second. To give the other countries credit though, they've already run most of what they had into the ground already so I'm not so sure if that's a fair contest.
 
South Africa is being "governed"???

It looks more like forcible rape to me.
 
It would be interesting to see if we could at least stay at 5th next year.
 
The ANC is too corrupt to govern properly. Only ANCYL and the DA keeps them at bay. As soon as ANCYL leaders graduate to a new ANC leadership things will improve. Until then it will get worse, much worse.

I think these points are based on the armed force numbers that a country may have including planes, ships, submarines and the such like.

Problem is we have the equipment we just don't have anyone to operate them so we would still be FScked if we went to war.

We'll be fine as long as they run out of bullets before we do...
