Namibia's Fishrot trial will test the scales of justice

In some ways, Namibia’s recent history has been a dress rehearsal of South Africa’s. In 1990 South West Africa, as it was called then, became independent of the South African National Party’s apartheid government, ushering in a SWAPO (South West Africa People’s Organisation) government. That prefigured the South African majority’s emancipation from that same government in 1994, which brought SWAPO’s liberation movement ally, the African National Congress (ANC), to power.
