Two Island states of Mauritius and Seychelles came tops as the "best governed" African countries, with Botswana and Cape Verde in third and fourth positions, respectively.

South Africa (5th) Ghana (8th) and Senegal (9th) among others, shone brightly in the ratings which saw Nigeria grouped among such lowly-rated nations as Somalia (4, Congo-DR (47), Sudan (45) and Angola (42).
