- Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit secretly films officials in Namibia demanding cash in exchange for political favours. It’s a story of how foreign companies plunder Africa’s natural resources. Using confidential documents provided to Al Jazeera by Wikileaks, . “Anatomy of a Bribe” exposes the government ministers and public officials willing to sell off Namibia’s assets in return for millions of dollars in bribes. Al Jazeera journalists spent three months undercover posing as foreign investors looking to exploit the lucrative Namibian fishing Industry. The country’s Minister of Fisheries is shown willing to use a front company to accept a $200,000 ‘donation’. Exclusive testimony from a whistleblower who worked for Iceland’s largest fishing company reveals that his employers instructed him to bribe ministers and even the president in return for fishing rights worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

One girl there, one girl here and one girl there....eto this Minister has no shame😭💔😂😂😂😂
14000 sies.
Kandenge this minister is trash 🗑🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ironicaly now they are other guy's girls in prison.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Imagine
Johannes did more justice for Namibia then our own people. Thank you Johannes!
The failure of the Namibian government reflect those who have put them in power what about making Johannes the deputy or director of fisheries in Namibia. The man is ready to go to jail when need be!
T Franks yes Jóhannes should be put on trial as he admits that he bribed government officials. He is brave for coming out with his story but he is also a criminal.
@@tfranks8141 So you're implying that Johannes get the job, suggesting that there is no Afrikan with Integrity to do the job, I hope not.
Why did it takes him this long to exposed the issue. They have all benefited in my opinion they all together steals from the people of Namibia..
This black leaders/people shame on you. No wonder the rest of the world looked down on black people. Learn from this black country people. This is wrong. You will be happy to be wealthy with the stolen wealth but for how long? God is watching every step you made. Your past will catch up on you. Be honest black people to your nation and your people.
Thank you
@@tfranks8141 Agreed!!!
On behalf of the rest of Iceland, I would like to apologize to Namibia for this scandal. This was of course just this one company (that we know of) but I would still like to apologize.
I don't except your ridiculous advance.
The ones to be blamed are the investors from Iceland and the politicians in Namibia. Ordinary Namibians and ordinary Iceland citizens can only put pressure to arrest these corrupted people in their respective countries
Africans like to blame 'the West' for corruption problems but I'm probably seeing more proactive investigation, exposure and shaming of corruption by westerners than Africans
Listen you have nothing to apologize for. We Africans need to understand that no one will look for our best interest for us.
We have no sense of responsibility. All we do is complain about how the Western world takes advantage of us.
Meanwhile our so called leaders are corrupted to the bones. And the stupidity of some population blindly following
those leaders because they are from the same tribe makes me feel like sometimes we deserve all the abuse taking place there
No offence to iceland that is how you get rich
This is happening everywhere in Africa.. 🤦🏾♂️ smh ... reason why we’re still poor people
@@wisemikky WELL SAID BUT WHO INITIATES THE BRIBE.

Humanity is poor.
I cannot believe my ears ,billions,???
This is REAL JOURNALISM which is highly needed these days, so much love and respect to Al Jazeera, especially to its investigation team/department. Loved it. Looking forward to seeing more of investigations in every government.
No mercy for this guys they had eaten enough is enough.
Yes I Concur 🤓Always Noice 👍 👊 Thus is Real Journalism ; the US State Dept Controls Most World Press ; beware the 4th & 5th estate's

Shout out to Jòhannes stefànsson! He is a true HERO. He has a kind heart
True!!!
My wish is that we had more people like you Stefansson, what you had
done for the Namibian people and the world at large, can not be praised
and appreciated enough. You took a stand and a decision that rarely 95%
of the people would take, you put your life on the line; all to save the
people from the dilapidated experience that these ruthless politicians
who claim to do good for the people were putting us through. I hope one
day you'll get your deserving reward for such works you had done. In
you, many people were able to retain their works and take care of their
families. What you have done is really generous and gracious, I really
wish you well and hope that you'll achieve the best health status that
you can have. I as well wish you well and hope that you'll continue at
all costs to do what's right and ethical. Thank you isn't even enough to
appreciate your efforts so I'll just no say it. Be well and do get
better as well.
This documentary surely deserves awards.

We ordinary people without connections will never get fishing quotas.
This video is breaking my heart soul and everything in me we as fishermen work hard to see how powerful people rob our resources.💔
This should have been published before the election.
No really urghh😏
They rigged the election.
Yes it supposed to be released before election
Very true, why did they wait
So Al Jazeera is biased and corrupt too?
God bless Johannes for coming out with the truth at such high risk
And who is this Johannes?
@@lydiandapewaangala9420 He worked for Samherji fishing company that was bribing the officals
@@lydiandapewaangala9420 watch this video and u might find out :)
It actually looks like a false operator sting using fraudulent paperwork using the sanction technique.
can't take american money if you have sanctions on you. looks like the investor walked off with a fishing deal and there was never money involved.
you can't get paid if the account is frozen due to sanctions so there was never a deal. the people are in jail over currency. but if you were a quick thing, you would of picked that up;)
Johannes was a member and after was not getting something. It's clear
Watched this over 5 times now, feels like watching a movie that just made its way into the cinema.
🤝
Without these evidence the corrupt state of Namibia will never convict these criminals, as the whole state apparatus is conflicted one way or the other.
On behalf of all africans,thank you Al Jazeera.
Please do more of this on our continent.
We need to stop this exploitation of africa now.
Again,thank u.
The Minister ordered one girl for his son in-law too. Such a generous man!!
He know how to party. I like the Minister. Some will buy cattle and goats...but Minister Esau. Wow! He said he once paid 14k for hostess Bar to get them many Girls.
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He thinks he lives in a Nigerian movie… lol
Lol
Eish. These dudes deserve to be behind bars‼️
Journalism at it's finest form. Bringing the truth and justice to the people.
Fearless, fearless reporting. A standing ovation from me for the AJ Investigations team!
Thank you Al Jazeera. Continue opening our eyes in Namibia, Africa and the whole world. We couldn't have achieved to this without you, wikileaks and The Namibia.
Your eyes should have been open long time ago. This is not new. The youth should demand resignation/ suspension of any member of parliament. They should be replace with a younger member.
It is not only that they are exposing the fishing industry in Iceland. They are also robbing us of our fish. We have a Quota which is distributed and can be bought from other companies/people who own a quota. This has created massive corruption within the Icelandic government and it shows as the current minister of fisheries is linked to Samherji. He is the former mayor of Akureyri which is the largest seaport on the northern coast. While he was mayor he gave a tons of favours to Samherji while he was mayor. Iceland is just as corrupt as Namibia and a lot of shady stuff goes down here.

Iceland was also s colony like Namibia and we were robbed of our resources by Denmark like Namibia was robbed by Germany and Britain. This is very embarrassing for me as I'm a huge anti-imperialist but then the Samherji dickheads are just as bad as the British and other colonial powers. I feel for Namibians who do not see any of the money being made in the country because I have experienced the same thing here in Iceland. Although I'm not saying that Icelanders live in a lot of poverty. Some do but a majority get by and always have food on their table. Namibia is even more exploited than Iceland ever has. Your wealthy are literal thieves stealing from the regular Namibian and keeping him in poverty.
Thank you for the information. I have read a couple years ago about good governance there. Some acquaintances would like to immigrate to Iceland. Well, this is an eye opener. So you are also combating crime. Corruption is a global problem.
Now I understand the meaning of "We have all the money" by Sophia Shaningwa
You know,we have all the money,Nonses
And Swapo does not finish its money.. tah.. Mee Sophia sorry
Me too 😭😭
😂😂😂😂😂
Explain please
Thank you Stef...
We are about to enter 2020. It is time for Africa and it’s people to step up from this rotten corruption.
@Alex,Vry true!!!!
how African goverment is the most corrupt
that is how an investigation is made.
Esau vakwetu💔"one girl there one here" 😂😂😂 what if those girls were his daughters?
Magdalena ndemuinda 😂😂😂😂😂
Embarrassing 😭
In Nigeria the Minister will just scream "off the mic!", and the interview is over. 😂
Bundle of thanks to AL Jazeera media and Mr. Johannes you a HERO. The little population of Namibia is dying of poverty and we need this information in local languages for all people in the country to know who are they.
Good Job. Al Jazeera. Corruption in my Country is making our Country to look poor while we got all the Natural resources to make us a stable Country. Can you also Investigate ECN on how did they come up with the Election results which just took place recently.
Volume plz
Very true!!!!

this is very sad, politicians cannibalise its own people. whenever i see fruits from africa, i will buy. africa has rich soil to grow produce the way mother nature intended. i imagine the farmers, toil day in and out in the farms to make ends meet and I recall seeing a documentary that they were so proud of their produce. i hope they don't succumb to western farming like GMO and use of toxic pesticide. I'm sad knowing lots of profit from exports doesn't pay then fairly. The world that we live in, sigh....
I feel like I'm watching a movie
Am fuming..am angry..am sad!😥😥.
A few people sling our destiny for a few luxuries.
Shuuu so good manh
slack jawed 😲😰😰
I thought Namibia is always cited as one of the least corrupt and well run countries?
So true it feels like a movie ,sadly we are in the movie
Whatever you're doing in darkness will always comes to light. .
God will expose you at the right time🙏
Thank you Stephenson
I am so thankful for Al Jazeera who went undercover to expose this guys millions of Namibians and fisher men had suffered because of this i Salute you WELL DONE!!!!!!!!
“I am for sure at risk of going to jail. If that is the cost I have to pay to expose this, I have long time ago come to terms with that”.
Bring them all down with you Johannes.
That is what true growth looks like.
petrichoree Indeed
@@panduleni9578 is it your uncle?

Please if only this can be translated in local languages and broadcast on radios, our people deep in villages have no access to Televisions and they deserve to know what's happening.
Edit.. Thank you for all the likes and comments.
Very true our old people need to hear this
Aretha Victor I fully agree with this,because they are the once that keep on voting Swapo cos of lack of knowledge...they need to know of this😩
I fully agree. The media in Namibia ought to run with this. The discussion needs to keep going.
U are very Right
This was translated into Oshiwambo and played on Omulunga Radio.. It will play again on Omulunga radio on the 24th of Jan at 20:15 and on the 26th of Jan at 06:15.
I'm so thankful to Al Jazeera for revealing this. As a Namibia, I hardly no whats going on in my country. The media? What media. These are the kinds of things Namibian journalists should be doing. Revealing the truth but no.
This documentary should receive a reward for investigative journalism and for highlighting a serious issue in most Southern African countries. Rotten morals and ethics by so called ex "liberation movements" that purported to take care of the countries they took over. The levels of corruption are ruining these countries.
You mean rotten morals also by the west who pay these bribes. The western countries seem to be even more rotten themselves
As a Namibian am truly embarrassed that we made it this far with our corruption! By the way this is nothing compared to what is still not exposed!
And I as Icelandic am ashamed of these Icelandic business men who roped Namibia of there fish.
Missbenster
😭
we’ve lost soooooo much..check recent news articles about the employment situation in our country
Our people are committing suicide due to loss of jobs, kids starving, families devastated
It’s horrible!
I can believe that. Greed is strong.
Same on the other side of the border in South Africa
Come to the United States and look at our political corruption. You'll sleep better at night. Corruption in Namibia, as viewed in this documentary, has been made to make Africa look like one big corrupt continent. It's nothing compared to what's going on in the West. The West has corrupted the rest of the world.
Come investigate our 2019 elections too.
Please
Please
😂😂😂😂 who can tag the wife
Please
Its true
Thank you 🙏🏽 very much Aljezira and a big thank you to Johannes.. The world needs more people like you.
Great journalism work for humanity, thanks!
This documentary is 🔥🔥🔥, the minister was on rampage.
Poor Esau, betraying the nation for a dual sim IPhone from China😄😀
What a shame 🤣🤣
Well iPhone's are manufactured in China

The lack of information namibians have baffles me sometimes, I don't blame them because the elite are behind keeping the masses in the dark so they can loot, it took outsiders to expose the corrupt officials,
Disgusting
Thanks for the whistle blower Mr Johannes Stefsan.
thank you Al Jazeera, Africa's growth is slow because of such individuals and these corrupt foreign companies we need more such victories in fighting corruption
something namibian authourities were never able to investigate thank u foreign investigators
Don't question their ability, question their willingness to investigate.
These experts journalists should Come even to Congo. We are about to die with corruption In educated African's mind who are not able to learn from Toma Sankara ,Kwame of Ghana ....
It’s finally front page news.🤘🏾
Aljazeera is top tier news. Thank you from South Africa, ask your headquarters to increase budget on these kinds of investigations
God bless Johannes for the truth❤
I think all the other people that disliked this video are the family members of the fishrot and swapo people
True 😂😂
And what's there to dislike at all? I mean it took an outside force that isnt biased to expose them and they still dislike it, smh
You are correct. Those are the indirect beneficiaries of the Maasbanker Boys.
True
Seriously why would you dislike the facts
I am so disgusted by them all. Stealing from your own 😠
Once in office,money from anywhere are fair game
Thats the norm everywhere in Africa
@@user-rc9qi6yp6k not everywhere
They're not "their own". People who think it's okay to steal, especially from the most needy and vulnerable, think it's okay to steal... it makes no difference what country they or their victims were born in. Being born in the same country as other people doesn't mean you're all one team. Haven't most people who have ever hurt you been from the same country? Unless you migrated at an early enough age, haven't most people who've hurt you been "your own"?
@@ABEL13ize tell me an African country without corruption?
thank you Aljazeera this why you are the best news cover , you go where others can't dare to go
Much love from Trinidad & Tobago
Next, look into the mining sector. I might find this fish story to be a small one
It's up to which whistle blowers come forward. Without the Icelandic guy who stole all that information from his employer, there'd be no story
Now every time I see a group of men sitting in a restaurant, I now know they are up to no good....
Same thoughts here
not all of them
Hahaha cmon
I saw a group of those kinda men at wimpy during February and I was like: iyaa it's exactly these type of them...then my sister laughed so badly 🤣
haahh so what are you doing there yourself
Those guys will never forget that name johaness 😂

".. Round it off to 200" 😅 from 170 to 200.. The greed!
The round it of made me laugh. Too greedy.
I am so happy that white man come out because they he notice is corruption really well done thanx for blowing the whistle
Everything done in darkness will eventually see day light. This people are corrupt to the core. I fear for lives of the people that will testify as well as their families. Shuuuuu
You are becoming my Favourite Media Channel, Al Jazeera! Forward with the Unbiased Journalism. You are the world's game changers! Definitely subscribe and recommend you!

Well more heads have rolled already then in Iceland, nothing has been done there.
@@B.spiritual resignation and being charged in court is all political show. We see a lot of that in Kenya.
If they've not been sentenced it is nothing, trust me. They'll be back in office after a few years, doing injunctions and judicial reviews to frustrate a case that will end up with a lack of evidence or mistrial or something like that.
Corruption should have the death penalty, the damage it causes to humanity and our world.. is staggering.
Amazing journalism. This is the modus operandi of corruption in Africa (country after country) with heartless politicians. Johannes, thank you for exposing this corruption. You are a brave man, and a good man.
I hope Namibia recovers everything left of what these corrupt fellows have stolen from Namibians, and I hope they pay a very heavy price for their actions.

If Africa as a whole had this kind of jounalism, Africa would have been a very better continent. Africa has enough resources that wouldn't even need Africans to go to other continents. Corruption by some politicians is a very destructive demon. May God restore and bless Africa.

Yas. Thank you Aljazeera
I think the head of the state is also involved in this
Of course, who do you think made Sacky a minister. Under Hifi, he was working at Legal Assistance Center.
They should investigate all the past presidents who knows how much they stole
Brilliant reporting, please do the same in South Africa.
This was absolutely riveting! Excellent reporting and presentation! I find it highly reminiscent of US politics, circa 2016 to 2020. This documentary should win an award 🏆🏅👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It's a pity African leaders do not negotiate deals for their countries but instead do it for themselves. what is more disheartening is them keeping money in foreign banks instead of Banks in their own countries.
A big thank you to the guy(Johannes) that came up front and came clean accepting the consequences
I Pray that the Lord protects his life.
