Mpho Lakaje, presenter of the 麻豆社鈥檚 Africa Daily podcast, speaks to Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, president of Namibia.

The former freedom fighter is the country鈥檚 first female head of state - and only the second ever directly elected female leader in Africa.

Namibia is celebrating thirty five years of independence this year - yet most of the country鈥檚 agricultural land remains in the hands of the white minority, and land reform is a key priority for President Nandi-Ndaitwah.

Namibia鈥檚 former colonial power Germany has apologised for the genocide committed under its rule at the start of the twentieth century, but it has yet to make good on the promise of reparations. Mrs Nandi-Ndaitwah remains confident the development funding will be provided - however, she is not able to give a clear time frame.
