Prior to Independence the road infrastructure in Namibia was terrible. Highways had no bridges and relied on ferries for vehicles to cross rivers and some parts of the highways were not paved.
After independence in 1990 one of the priority of the government was to improve roads infrastructure but the government had a problem, money was not enough.
Another problem is that of contractors. Local companies lack resources and expertise, the odds of delivering quality work are slim to none. The alternative was international companies who could deliver quality work but at a high price.
The solution to this problem came in 2004 when Namibia and China signed further trade agreement. Chinese contractors who are cheap and could deliver quality work came on the scene.
This is precisely what the government had been looking for, the government started giving contracts to the Chinese.
And by 2013 Namibia surpassed South Africa as a country with the best roads in Africa and has maintained that position ever since.
The photo below is a recently completed 40 km dual carriageway constructed by the Chinese only at the cost of US$64 million.
Where is the photo? And by the way which Africa country no dey give contract to China?
