South
Africa occupied the German colony of South-West Africa
during World War I and administered it as a mandate until
after World War II, when it annexed the territory. In
1966 the Marxist South-West Africa People's Organization
(SWAPO) guerrilla group launched a war of independence
for the area that became Namibia, but it was not until
1988 that South Africa agreed to end its administration
in accordance with a UN peace plan for the entire region.
Namibia has been governed by SWAPO since the country won
independence in 1990. Hifikepunye POHAMBA was elected
president in November 2004 in a landslide victory replacing
Sam NUJOMA who led the country during its first 14 years
of self rule.

The economy is heavily dependent on the extraction and
processing of minerals for export. Mining accounts for
8% of GDP, but provides more than 50% of foreign exchange
earnings. Rich alluvial diamond deposits make Namibia
a primary source for gem-quality diamonds. Namibia is
the fourth-largest exporter of nonfuel minerals in Africa,
the world's fifth-largest producer of uranium, and the
producer of large quantities of lead, zinc, tin, silver,
and tungsten. The mining sector employs only about 3%
of the population while about half of the population depends
on subsistence agriculture for its livelihood. Namibia
normally imports about 50% of its cereal requirements;
in drought years food shortages are a major problem in
rural areas. A high per capita GDP, relative to the region,
hides one of the world's most unequal income distributions.
The Namibian economy is closely linked to South Africa
with the Namibian dollar pegged one-to-one to the South
African rand. Increased payments from the Southern African
Customs Union (SACU) put Namibia's budget into surplus
in 2007 for the first time since independence, but SACU
payments will decline after 2008 as part of a new revenue
sharing formula. Increased fish production and mining
of zinc, copper, uranium, and silver spurred growth in
2003-07, but growth in recent years was undercut by poor
fish catches and high costs for metal inputs. |
