Mauritius has been adjudged as the best governed country in the African region, while the war-ravaged Somalia comes at the bottom according to a latest index on governance in Africa.
While it topped the list in governance, Mauritius was beaten to the second place in the category for safety and rule of law by Cape Verde.
Human development also remained an issue for Mauritius, where it took fourth position while its neighbour Seychelles topped the list among the 53 countries in the Ibrahim Index of African Governance.
Even Libya beat Mauritius in HDI coming third, while Tunisia was second.
While South Africa came in at number five on the overall list after Cape Verde, Seychelles and Botswana, it was found the third best-run country in southern Africa after Mauritius and Botswana.
The Index, published by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, is Africa's leading assessment of governance that informs and empowers its citizens.
It measures the delivery of public goods and services to citizens using four main pillars -- safety and rule of law; participation and human rights, sustainable economic opportunity; and outcomes of governance.
