Fingers crossed for SA. Loved my time in Namibia 27 years ago. A huge piece of nothing. Surf casting for bronze whalers sharks off the Atlantic Coast! Catch and release. The guide in a beat up Land Rover and half a finger missing. Etosha Park one of Africa’s best

But it’s fair easier to be a nimble and open for business when you are small and relatively homogeneous, everyone mostly pulling in the same direction. Far trickier with a larger more complex country with lots of competing groups. Small Botswana is another rare African stable success story. Uruguay much more than oil rich Venezuela 

Apologies to Dublin Boon
