This book exposes the cattle procurement scandal at Meatco, a case that shook Namibia’s agricultural sector and revealed deep governance failures in one of the nation’s most important state-owned enterprises. Through investigative analysis, it examines how oversight collapsed, what accountability means in practice, and why strong governance is essential for safeguarding public resources. Rich with case studies and reform lessons, it challenges leaders, farmers, and policymakers to confront systemic weaknesses and embrace transparency. More than a narrative of scandal, it is a roadmap for reform and resilience in Namibia’s beef industry.
