Foreword to 'Defending the Investment Rössing Uranium and the Business of Decolonisation in Namibia'

Jan-Bart Gewald wrote the Foreword to Defending the Investment Rössing Uranium and the Business of Decolonisation in Namibia by Saima Nakuti Ndahangwapo. As Gewald writes, 'Saima’s work makes for sobering yet essential reading for anybody interested in Namibia, its history and mineral extraction. Her work is a blow by blow account of the manner in which corporate interests, driven by profit motive triumphed over morals and integrity, and yet were able to claim and attain the moral high ground.' (pages ix-x of the book).
