Botswana's Good Governance Pays Off
Botswana's former president has won a $5 million prize to encourage good governance in Africa. Botswana is one of Africa's most stable countries - it has never had a coup and has regular multi-party elections since independence in 1966.Botswana is the world's biggest diamond producer but unlike other resource rich countries in Africa, this has not become a source of conflict.
Kofi Annan added, "Botswana demonstrates how a country with natural resources can promote sustainable development with good governance, in a continent where too often mineral wealth has become a curse".
As well as the $5m prize, Mr Mogae gets $200,000 a year for the rest of his life.
So if you fancy checking more of Botswana's natural resources then come join our Southern Africa Quest for Mokoro safari's and Big Game Spotting!

That's right, when this bear came across this discarded cup he fell head over heels. Bears have the best smell in the business. A polar bear can smell a seal through 6 inches of ice and in the North of America they have become more dangerous as they come into camps searching for a free meal. Campers and hikers are constantly advised to keep all food locked away although it seems all they need is a cup off coffee to tame these wild beasts!
