AG AY BACK OFF as outcry over 'white' schools gains momentum

SW APO president Mr Sam Nujoma introduces the man who co-organised the 1959 resistance at the Old Location, Mr Moses Garoeb, to the crowd at Sunday's rally. Mr Garoeb is Swapo's administrative secretary and a member of the Constituent Assembly.

NUJOMA WARNS CHURCHES

that apartheid in schools will not be tolerated

BY RAJAH MUNAMAVA

SWAPO president Mr Sam Nujoma on Sunday sounded a word of caution to the Dutch Refor:med Church and German churches in Namibia which are currently attempting to privatise certain government schools.

Mr Nujoma was addressing a mass rally in the black township of Katu­tura, to mark the 30th anniversary of the 1959 massacre at the Old Loca­tion.

The Swapo president was reacting to recent moves involving white churches, the Administrator-General and other officials to privatise about 16 government schools, all of them formerly for white pupils only.

• 'While our government will en­courage Namibian citizens, irrespec­tive of colour or race, religion or creed , to take initiative in every fic ld of economic development or other endeavours, we will certainly not allow a penny to be spent on the promotion of apartheid and the 50-

called maidens of culture and Chris­tian values." Mr Nujoma said in reference to the move to privalise the

schools. "We will be very much reluctant

to see anyone who may try under a different guise to practice apartheid in a free and independent state of Namibia."

The drive to privatise white gov­emrnent schools is being seen as an attempt by white conservatives to avoid mixed-race schools after inde­pendence.

Mr NuJomasaid those who wanted to build private schools could do so with their own money and not state money, add ing that th is would not be allowed.

He furthcr pointed out th at all schools , including private schools, even if cOTIStnlcted with own money. would fall under the ministry of na­tional education and that they would not opcrate without directives from

that ministry. Mr Nujoma also said progress had

been made during the past three weeks in the Constituent Assem bly, adding that he was confident that the writing of the constitution would be com­pleted within a reasonably short period of time . .

He was also confident that Namib­ian independence would be proclaimed during the first quarter of the coming year.

Turning to the 1959 killings at the Old Location, Mr Nujoma said it was ironi,; that whik ,~V.' United Nations was busy meeting :., proclaim that year human rights year, the South African Police and soldiers were busy shooting and killing N am ibians in order to deny them their very basie

AFTER a meeting yesterday with Namibia's elected representatives in the Constituent Assembly, it appears as if the Administrator­General, Mr Louis Pienaar, may have to back off in his bid to support initiatives to maintain 'whites-only' education in an independent Namibia.

In a meeting yesterday, parties have requested Mr Pienaar 'not to go ahead' with official sanction for the move.

Last week the majority of Namib­ian people were shocked and out­raged at an attempt by a thinly-dis ­guised pro-white church grouping, calling itself the Interdenominational Association for Christian Education, to maintain exclusive education for . whites " apparently with the full support of the Administrator-Gen­eral, Mr Pienaar.

The group claimed to be in favour of rendering "education to children with a view to ensure that they re­ceive mother-tongue education on a Christian basis .. . ".

While the group said that it would be responsible for its own fWlds, many observers, including 'whites', believed that Administration for Whites money would be used for this purpose, although these too are state monies.

There was also talk that negotia­tions had already begun for the pur­chase of certain properties, and that an offer of R2-million had been made for the Windhoek High School (which would cost about R32-million to rebuild today).

It is furtherreported that the chair­person of the Broederbond in this country is present among the com­pany directors of the new 'white' schools privatisation initiative.

Although the Interdenominational Association, apparently led by the traditionally conservative Afrikaans churches, claimed that admission to the schools would not be on the basis of sex or ethnic origin, there was little doubt in the minds of most people that it was an attempt to

maintain and perpetrate 'Christian national education' in Namibia.

The group has already regis tered a non-profit company for this purpose, and had reques ted the Adminis tra­tor-General to let certain buildings and equipment to the company. These included a number of schools through­out Namibia, including the Wind­hoek Hoerskool, and others.

Already, Mr Pienaar himself had addressed parents committees at various white schools on the issue. It is believed thatMr Pienaar told them that, as 'private' schools, the stan­dards would have to be at least equal to, oc higher than, those at state schools, and filled to at least 75 per cent of capacity, failing which they would lose the right to TWl the school.

The 'white-schools' issue imme­diately resulted in an outcry after the annOWlcement last week, with vari­ous parties and groups taking strong exception to the fact that the interde­nominational Association, and those who supported them, were hardly acting in a spiri t of reconciliation and Wlity by seeking to maintain 'white' privileges, such as exclusive schools.

Although informed sources said the plan had the full support of Mr Pienaar himself, it appears as if he will have to back down now, in the face of virtual consensus among the various parties represented in the Constituent Assembly in their rejec­tion of this move.

The matter is believed to have been discussed in some detail in a Standing Committee of the Constitu­ent Assembly, where the parties, led by Swapo, were unanimous in their

HUMAN RIGHTS .DECLARATION· IS

USELESS, - ·-GAD·DAFI LIBYAN leader Muammar Gaddafi said on Monday the United Nations human rights declaration should be torn up and thrown into the dustbin, the Libyan news agency (Jana) reported.

Commenting on last Saturday 's Human Rights Day, Gaddafi said the 1948 United Nations declaration was outdated because it did not give people their full rights.

" The worst disregard for a man is to make him a wage worker to another man," Jana quoted him as saying. "He should be a partner with others in any production operation to get the frui ts of his efforts himself."

Jana, received in Nicosia, said Gaddafi called for the ' 'tearing up of the so­called human rights declaration ... This docwnent should be cast in the dustbin in the same marmer as people have cast the remains of the Second World War in the same dustbin of history ."

"The awarding of the Nobel Prize to me, a simpk monk from far-away Tibet, here in Norway, also fill s us Tibetans with hope," said the exiled spiritual leader, in a text prepared for the lecture which traditionally fol­lows the awarding of the prize.

But in delivering his speech at the University of Oslo, the Dalai Lama said he wanted to speak about human understanding, compassion and love " instead of reading my speech".

Leaving political issues to the printed text, his one-hour impromptu talk concentrated on moral and ethi­cal questions illustrated with homi­lies which often provoked laughter from the audience of about 600.

The Dalai Lama said he would use the US$469 000 prize to help starv­ing people, lepers in India, various peace programmes and to establish the Tibetan Foundation for Univer­sal Responsibility.

In the prepared text, he. renewed his commitment to non-violence in Tibet and said peaceful protest was succeeding in bringing Eastern Eu­rope closer to real democracy.

Such forces encourages the belief "that someday we, too, will once again be free", he said.

"With the Cold War apparently drawing to a close, people every­where live with renewed hope," he said. He also drew encouragement from the pro-democracy forces in China, which were crushed by Chi­nese forces on Tiananmen Square on June 3 and 4.

"I particularly admire the fact that these young people, who have been taught that power grows from the barrel of a gun, chose instead to use non-violence as their weapon."

China repeated its condef!1nation on Monday of the 1989 prize, and officially protested the presence of King Olav Van Norwegian govern­ment officials at Sunday's award ceremony. The official Chinese news agency, Xinhua, said the award " cynically mocks" the prize.

Xinhua quoted a foreign ministry official as telling the Norwegian am­bassador in Beijing that Norway had rontradicted its declared position rec­ognizing Tibet as Chinese territory, and said, "This will greatly impair Sino-Norwegian relations, which have already been affected ."

Lhasang Tsering, ' chairperson of the Tibetan Youth Congress who carne to Oslo for the awards ceremony, said it was time for action.

"A sudden death is better than a slow death under the iron grip of the Chinese," he said in a newspaper interview.

The Dalai Lama issued a five­point plan in 1987 for Tibet, which has been rejected by Beijing. Ac­cepting the prize on Sunday, he said China's continued rebuff could lead him to consider the plan, presumably including his offer to put aside a claim of independence in return for autonomous rule on domestic policy.

He said the key to his plan was the creation of a demilitarized peace zone in Tibet, which might contribute to Asian stability.

He referred to Costa Rica, whose president Oscar Arias won the peace prize in 1987, as an' example of a nation that can develop successfully and democratically without an anny.

Monday's dismissals comprise 2 051 in Natal and 590 in the Northern Transvaal. SA TS spokesperson Mr Alan Lubbe

told Sapa damage to the company's property had so far exceeded R20-million - excluding fire damage to 14 coaches. . Mr Lubbe said the number of strik­

"These people are not part of the South African Railway and Harbours Workets'-Union (SARHWU) strike.

"They demanded nothing else but protection and did not arrive for work today," Mr Lubbe explained.

He added that the workers were not striking legally and disciplinary action would therefore be brought against them.

Mr Lubbe C(,r.r· nned the police were working with ::-' ATS to ensure law and order and mamtain passen­ger and worker safety and added that court interdicts had been obtained to protect workers who wanted to work .

The interdicts effectively prevent striking workers from ent<:ring SATS

Huge blast at Johannesburg Station

rips two men apart TWO people were killed - one believed to be the carrier of an explosive device that tore through the basement of the north entrance of the Johannesburg Station late on Monday night.

Both victims are believed to be Indian men . One of them, apparently a passer-by, was blown apart in the explosion and parts of his body could be seen scattered near the area of the explosion.

The suspected carrier had his clothes ripped off his body and at first nei­ther police nor security guards on the scene could confirm their sexes or races.

The explosion occurred at about 11.2Opm and was followed by an­other blast at about 1 1. 36pm on the corner of Joubert and Sam Hancock Streets. Windows were smashed but there were no injuries.

Police arrived on the scene of the first blast within minutes, cordoned off the immediate area and used dogs to search for other explosives.

The powerful explosion could be heard kilometres away a.'1ct awoke a number of Hillbrow residents who arrived at the station.

A bright light lit up the area around the station as the bomb exploded, shattering a glass window pane and slightly damaging a number of win­dows on the station building.

Two Coin security personnel whoo arrived on the scene seconds afterthe explosion described it as "terrify­ing". They said they saw a man's body "scattered all over the place" and the naked body of another man nearby.

Witwatersrand police liaison offi­cer Captain Eugene Opperman, who arrived at the station later, said the type of explosive device could not be confirmed.

The mutilated body of one of the victims was surrounded by glass from a window pane which was blown out in the blast.

A number of windows at the sta­tion building were broken.

The powerful explosion occurred about 100 metres from the west en­trance to the station - an area nor­mally abuzz with buses, taxis and commuters during the day .

People standing on the station's platform and others milling around the area described the expiosion that rocked central Johannesburg.

"I got the fright of my life," said one man who was a mere 80 metres from where the blast occurred.

Others at the scene later described how the blast had woken them up as far as central Hillbrow and areas in Braamfontein.

A visibly shocked SATS security guard, who walked past the scene of the blast minutes before the explo­sion occurred, said he had noted two people in the area but could not iden­tify them.

He added that as he walked back to his office, he heard a blast, ran out­side and saw "smoke all over the place".

The SA Transport Services deputy director of passenger services, Mr Christo Seaman, arrived at the scene minutes after the explosion and later told Sapa that trains were "running as normal".

"At this stage there is no change in our services," he said.

***At 2.4lam today it was an­nounced that limpet mines were be­lieved to have been used in the two bomb blasts. The first blast which occurred at 11.2Opm and killed two Indian men was caused by a SPM limpet mine, while the second blast was caused by a mini-limpet mine.

ACN·NP confus.ion continues ACTION CHRISTIAN NATIONAL, a Namibian political front, was autonomous and the congress or the SWA National Party could not make decisions on its own behalf, ACN chairperson, Mr Jannie de Wet, said in Windhoek on Thursday.

According to a SW ABC radio report on Friday, Mr De Wet confirmed that the ACN had its own constitution for the organisation's control and man­agement.

The decision by the SW A congress that the party's leader of this pleni-

potentiary should also be chairper­son of the ACN was invalid and could not be executed, Mr De Wet said.

The leader of the NP SW A, Mr Kosie Pretorius, said he did not ac­cept the ACN's constitution which

was'drafted after Mr De Wet's resig­nation from the party.

He said insufficient notice had been given of the ACN executive commit­tee meeting at which the ACN's constitution was drafted and accepted.

WOMEN TO WOMEN THE Swapo Womens Solidarity Campaign and the Namibia Support Committee have sent 'warm solidarity greetings' to the sisters of the Swapo Womens Council on the occasion of Namibia Womens Day (on Sunday).

"We have long known of the cen­tral role of Namibian women in

working to achieve a Swapo victory and we send particular congratula-

lions to the Swapo women recently elected to the Constituent Assembly. Our thoughts are also with women celebrating Namibia Worn ens Day at home for the first time after many long years of exile", a statement read.

SECON-D PART OF WIEHAHN REPORT WITH PIENAAR

THE second Wiehahn report on proposed new labour practices in Namibia has been handed over to the Administrator-General in Windhoek, SABC radio news reported on Monday.

The chairperson of the Wiehahn commission, Professor Nic Wiehahn , said the report had been written to meet indigenolL~ demands, and not with a specific government.in mind.

He said the recommendations in the report were in line with those by the Interna.tional Labour Organisa­tion.

The report is expected to reeeive

serious consideration when the new government draws up its labour poli­cies, although it is unlikely to be accepted in its entirety.

Glowing tribute at Bernard Kamwi's funera l "COMRADE AMBASSADOR" Bernard Kamwi was a "dedicated, hardworking" Swapo cadre who contributed a great deal to the struggle for Namibian independence, the liberation movementsaid in a glowing tribute to the late Mr Kamwi.

Mr Kamwi was one of three people killed on November 23 near Bagani in the Caprivi when the car he was travelling in left the road and over-

turned . For many years Mr Kamwi was a

teacher at Swapo refugee camps in Zambia and Angola, before becom-

ing the first principal of Swapo 's schools in Cuba.

"Comrade Bernard was therefore for many years a teacher, principal and indeed a parent to thousands of the Namibian children who-have been denied the right to better education and forced into exile by the colonial regime of South Africa," said Swapo

in its tribute . Born in 1945 at Schuckmansburg

in'Caprivi, Mr Kamwi was the third­born in a family of ten children . .

He was educated at the Holy Family Mission in Katima Mulilo before he left Namibia.in 1962~moving to.the Zambian capital Lusaka in 1963 where he joined what was then the Northem Rhodesian Police.

He graduated with honours from police training school and, after

. Zambia's independence in 1964, Mr Kamwi continued to rise through the ranks and fmally served in the public relations department at the police headquarters in Lusaka.

In the meantime he continued with his secondary education through a correspondence course and then stud­iedlaw at the UniversityofZambia's Department of Extra-Mural Studies.

In 1976 he left the police because of the' 'Zambianization" of govern­ment departments, joined Swapo a year later and, at the beginning of the decade, was appointed the move-

ment's chief representative to Ro­mania. Mr Kamwi returned to Na­mibia in June this year to serve in the Swapo Election Directorate as a senior official in the party's mobilization department where he· was affection­ately know as .'. ~ Comrade. Ambassa­dor" .

"The late Comrade Bernard did not only possess the skills of an excellent educator, but during the course of the struggle distinguished himself as a skilled diplomat," said Swapo in its tribute to Mr Kamwi.

"While serving in Swapo foreign missions, he proved to be a selfless politician who shared his ideas and experiences with other comrades."

The statement continued: "Swapo has lost a dedicated, hardworking and irreplaceable cadre in the person of the late Comrade Bernard Kamwi Sinvula.',

Mr Kamwi was buried in Katima Mulilo on December 2 at a ceremony attended by members of his family, many friends and collegues.

GOBABIS OPTIMISTIC ABOUT SCHOOL PRIVATISATION PLAN

COM PARING the differences between Epako Junior Secondary School and Wennie du Plessis High School in Gobabis, It becomes quite apparent why the latter was one of the sixteen schools to be chosen by the Interdenominational Association for Christian Action (IACA) for privatisation .

Amid the harsh dryness of Goba­bis, Wennie du Plessis is a welcome

. sight with its green lawns and plush sporting grounds.

With facilities to house and edu­cate many more than the 273 stu­dents currently enrolled at it, this high school is now the topic of a fervent passion among many Goba­bis residents .

"Education and religion are the two most important things," said Dominee Du Plessis, a member of the school's commitee who was re­luctant to discuss the plan for priva­tisation .

"I think you will find that many people in Gobabis feel the same way, and when it comes down to it they would rather send their children to schools in the Republic than risk losing the ir heritage."

This opinion seems to be validated if discussions with the school's prin­cipal, Mr Bezuidenhout, is anything to go by .

"It's been the talk of the town since the plan was announced," he said. "It went straight from the school committee back to the parents. Eve­rything finally gets back to the par­ents ."

The current principal of Wennie

du Plessis High School, Mr Bezuiden­hout was dismissed from Rundu High School after an incident of beatings forced the parents at that school to call for his resignation.

"This (privatisation) is an attempt to maintain the schools," he explained. "When a new government comes to power, AG 8 will go and the Afri ­kaans community wants to ensure that its own schools do not go as well. " "Every group builds its own tradition with its education, and it is very important to us that we are able to maintain our own language and re­ligion. "

According to Mr Bezuidenhout, the idea for private institutions where pupils would be educated about their own particular culture in their mother tongue, had come the community.

"It all started in 1986", he said, " with a call from the parents and from there it just snowballed."

Historically, private schools in Namibia have been susidised by the government in order to protect the traditions of :l specific group, he explains. "It is not like in the Repub­lic where private schools are only for a very high income group."

No announcement has thus far been made as to the source for the funding

rejection of the move, apart from the Kction Christian National (ACN), led by Mr Jannie de Wet.

Delegates in the Constituent As­sembly feel it is not the function of the Administrator-General to make such laws (and especially laws to the detriment of the country and its people) while the country is in the transi ~ tional phase to independence.

They also firmly believe it is the prerogative of the new incoming in­dependence government, Swapo, to decide on such mallers.

The outcry has apparently reached much further than the confines of the Assembly : also believed to be highly agitated at this move are the five heads of government departments resorting under the Administrator­General.

There may be some of those on the right-wing Association who believe that it truly does represent an initia­tive to start private church schools.

The Landespropst of the German Evangelical Lutheran Church, Pas-

. tor Karl Sundermeier, confirmed that while his church board was not rep­resented on the Association, one delegate from DELK was among the members.

He described it as "keeping the door open for private church schools" , and said that some churches had begun to think, rather late in the day, about private schools, a prerogative en­joyed by other churches in the coun­try; such as the Anglicans and Ro~ man Catholics . . His church had not given its official sanction to the ini­tiative, but would 'wait and see'.

human rights. Mr Nujoma told his audience how ,

while petitioning the United Nations, the then South African foreign min­ister, Mr Eric Louw, had come to Namibia to inform the 'natives' that their petitioning to the UN was a waste of time as they (the South Africans) had fought and acquired the country by force of arms, and that if they wanted the country, they could take up arms.

"We, the youth of Namibia, are proud today to say that we took up that challenge, fought the boers in the jungles, in the mountains, in the valleys of the motherland, and we finally defeated them," he said to loud cheering by the crowd.

Mr Nujoma, who also played a prominen t role inresis ting theforced removals from the Old Location, chronologically outlined events as they unfolded during that fateful day when police fired on unarmed dem­onstrators, killing 12 people and in­Juring more than 50.

He further praised the role played

by Namibian women in organising and leading the resistance at the Old Location, saying this was one of the popular uprisings in Namibian his­tory .

Thousands of Swapo supporters in their blue, red and green colours packed the Katutura Stadimn to listen to their 'legend', Mr Sam Nujoma.

At some point, Mr Nujoma had to call a part of th'e crowd to order when people started pushing one another, particularly those in the back who wanted to catch a glimpse of their hero . This is despite the fact .that Mr Nujoma has already made a nmnber of public appearances but still con-

. tinues to draw crowds. And as one resident suggested after

the meeting, "Ifparties want to pull crowds at meetings, they better in­vite him, even just as their gues t, rather than to spend money on boere­wors and brotchens," an apparent reference to the DT A which has in the past attempted to draw cn>" ..

of the privatisation project, the cost of which is expected to be very high.

Last week, Mr Bczuidenhout trav ­e lkd to Windhoek as part of a dcle­gation of principals and school committce membcrs who were in­volved in the plan for talks with both the Director of Education and the Administrator-General .

He is reluctant to talk about what was discussed at these meetings, saying only that "we were informed about the plan and told that we had up until the the first of March to make a decision" .

If the schools are to be privatised then all staff members will first have to resign from the government's service before applying for a posi­tion at the new school.

The plan outlined by the IACA is an attempt to centralise the white Afrikaans schools and then privatise them in order to preserve Christian, mother-tongue education.

In order to house these new schools, the IACA applied to the Administra-

. tor-General to lease sixteen of the schools that were currently under the jurisdiction of the Administration for Whites.

If this plan is accepted by the AG, it means that all six teen of the schools will no longer be available for public education, even though the schools were built with public funds.

SW ABC radio yes terd ay reported that the IACA held talks with a committee of the Constituent As­sembly about the proposed plan.

The talks took place after discus­sion between the Administrator­General and a delegation from the Assembly .

SPIRIT OF HARMONY PRAISED as political parties commemorate

Old Location killings together IT WAS a solemn and historic occasion when people gathered in the early hours of Sunday morning to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the killings that preceded the forced removal of people from the Old Location.

This was the first time that people from opposing political parties had commemorated the occasion together, and the event was widely seen as an important step towards national recon­ciliation.

It was furthermore the first time that the leaders of some parties had ever shared any kind of public platform.

For the first time also, supporters of different political parties could be seen standing side by side and singing to­gether in their various party colours.

The chairperson of the Constituent Assembly, Mr Hage Geingob, chaired the gathering and Reverend Sondagh Kanguehii opened the service with a prayer.

Before the main service the Swapo president, MrSam Nujoma, came to lay a wreath on the graves of those who died in the shootings.

Speaking on behalf of Swapo, Mrs Pendukeni Ithana said they were gath­ered at the graveside where twelve heroes and heroines had laid down their lives after the police had opened fire on a peaceful and unarmed gathering.

She reminded those present that after the shootings people had been forcibly driven against their wishes to the

tribally divided, windy and dusty place now known as Katutura in order to make way forthe whites-only suburb of Pionierspark.

She pointed out that Swapo had named the day Women's Day, in direct recognition of the enormous contribu­tion made by women in the protests against the forced removals.

This had also been a way for Swapo to show its indignation at the racist South African administration and the horror of December 10 which mani­fested itself in the killing of 12 people.

That day in 1959 had shown the bru­tality of the South African regime as well as the courage and determination

of people to liberate themselves from the yoke of colonialism.

The day had also been marked by unity among the people and it had shown the power women had to lead.

Mrs !thana said it was important for future generations to remem ber that the country had been ruled by a brutal re­gime that had shown on 10 December 1959 that it knew no limits as far as the repression of people was concerned.

It was this tradition of brutality which had culminated in the formation of Koevoet and other instruments of repression.

Killings had become the order of the day and it had not been possible to end this pattern even with the demobiliza­tion of Koevoet.

She said that elements of these mur­der squads were still on the rampage and that they were still killing people.

She appealed to the Administrator­General and the United Nations Special Representative, Mr Marttj Ahtisaari , to take decisive action to end the contin­ued killing of people.

Mrs Ithanasaid the women in Swapo would work together with others to end the death and destruction in northern Namibia until there was no trace of

South African brutality in Namibian society.

As women they had a special respon­sibility in this because they knew what life was through the pain of giving birth and the pleasure of nurturing life.

She said the memory of South Af­rica's brutality should inspire Namibi­ans in the years to come to preserve life, because life was sacred.

They should also draw insights from the courage that the Namibian people demonstrated in 1959, and the memory of the heroes and heroines of that day should inspire them as they faced the problems of the future.

The leader of the Swapo Women 's

Council stressed that Namibians could only solve the problems of the country successfully if they were united.

Hosea Kutako. Sam Nujoma and the other people involved in organising the 1959 demonstrations had done so in a spirit of unity which should inspire the people of the country to work together united, now and in the future.

She said that by coming together to commemorate the 1959 killings they had shown that they could unite but that they now also had to show that they could reconcile.

This was because it was only through meaningful reconciliation that the wounds caused by the war could be healed.

Speaking for the National Patriotic Front, Mr Moses Katjiuongua said that it was his hope, and the desire of the NPF, that the spirit and common pur­pose shown there should be kept alive.

M.r Katji uong ua suggested that in the future other days that were significant to our national society - such as Oka­handja Day, August 26 and Cassinga Day - could be commemorated in a similar way.

The fact that they were all standing there together was firm proofthat those who died had not died in vain, and that they had left something behind and could now rest in peace.

Mr Katjiuongua said a good and just cause was bound to end in victory, that they could only suffer temporary defeat and that the final defeat of South Afri­can oppression had been inevitable.

He said he had a dream thaI the inde­pendence of Namibia would put a final end to all war between black and white, and also put an end to tribal squabbles among blacks.

Ms Nora Chase of the Namibia Na­tional Front said it was the first day since the shootings that people were able to gather to commemorate the event without being chased away, or without strange policemen being pres­ent to listen to what they had to say.

She said that 10 December 1959 was significant because it showed that at no time had Namibians passively accepted oppression.

She recalled the tragic sight of seeing people being shot in the back and fail ­ing in the streets while trying to run away.

She also recalled some of the blatant lies that had been told at the judicial inquiry into the shootings, and she suggested that it was now time that Namibians started writing their own history so that the true facts could come

out. The NNF secretary-general said that all those who had gathered to com­memorate the day had done so because they felt that there was a purpose in commemorating the day.

They were there because they felt they had a commitment to their future ,. and to their history, and historica!ly they had used the day to recommit themselves to the liberation struggle.

I R GULARI IE WIT ~G FREQUENCIE

THE Untag radio frequencies on which the South African Defence Force monitored purported reporl-; of large-scale Swapo troop movemenl-; on the AngOlan-Namibian border shortly before the Namibian elections had not been used irregularly, the chief of the SADF, General Jannie Geldenhuys, said in Pretoria on Monday.

Untag frl:quencies werl: inten.:cpted and made public on I Novembl:r 19X9. This gave rise to a dispute leading to investiga tiv l: vi sits on 2

November 19X9 by representatives of various South Afriean departm l:nL~

including the SA Defence Force, and also Untag, to Walvi s Bay and S WA/ Namibia.

However, a~ was previously statt.:d, the Defcnce Force continued to pur­sue their investi gations using sophi s ­ticated tcchnical equipment in an effort to verify the location s of tran smit-

ting stations. The invl:s ti ga tion s have now bccn

completed and no ncw information was fo und ind icating !rregular or unauthorised usc of thl: frequencil:s in ques tion.

With thl: situation as it is in SWAt Namibia, and thc Defence Force having withdrawn , further investigations arc not prac ti cally poss ibl e.'

General Geldenhuys said investi ­gations into the origins of the mes­sages had now been completed and now new information had been found indicating irregul ar o r unauthori sed usc of LIle frequencies in qucstion .

By implication, General Gcldc.-nhuys dismissed suggestions that the SADF had fabrieate.d thc interel:ption of the messages shortly before the Namib­ian elections.

Genl:ral Gddenhuys said the si tu­ation in Namibia, and the SADF having withdrawn, precluded further inves­ti gations into the orig ins of thc mcs ­sages. He revealed that the SADF and Unt ag had gone to Walvis Bay in a bid to uncover the sites of the trans­mitting stations.

The SADF had al so used sophisti ­cated technical equipment to track down their location, to no avail.

SPOTLIGHT ON A GOBABIS FARM: ;~

Apartheid attitudes still deeply fixed RAJAH MUNAMAVA AND SARA BLECHER

SW APO'S policy of national reconciliation seems to have allayed the fears of the white community in Gobabis, most of whom are now positive about the future and have opted to stay on instead of leaving. But for the farm labourers, many of whom are still living well below subsistance level, little is likely to change in the immediate future.

Three weeks ago, Gobabis farmer Jan Maritz called a meeting with the Swapo regional office in an attempt to allay the fears that he and other members of the white farming com­munity had about the future and these fears seem, to have been put to rest.

"I feel safe and happy and I'm not worried anymore," said Mr Maritz, whose family have owned a farm in the area for three generations.

Mr Maritz said he had no plans to leave. "If someone else wants to leave, then I tell him fine he must leave, but first he must sell me his farm," he said .

Last week, Johann van Schalkwyk, a prominent business person in Gobabis, had trouble obtaining credit from a bank in South Africa.

He applied to the Swapo office in Gobabis for an outline of Swapo's economic policy, which he promptly received .

The presentation of this document to the creditors in South Africa al­layed their fears about the economic future of an independent Namibia, and he received the loan .

"Business is very good right now," he said while serving a customer in one of his retail stores . .

"They (Swapo) could have made changes if they wanted to, but they didn't, I mean, look at my parents, they're 75 years old and living on a farm, but they're not selling. They 're just carrying on doing their job farm­ing."

But most of the farms are remote, and the labourers, few of whom have received any formal education, seem little affected by the political events of the last few months .

Petrus Lewer has been loading and

unloading cattle on Boetie van Helsdenge's farm, which the farmer hires from the Gobabis municipality for the last 28 years.

Mr Lewer is 54 years old and earns R60 a month plus the weekly rations which supplement this meager sum.

Just prior to the elections, Mr Van Helsdenge spoke to his workers about voting procedures.

He supplied mock ballots and taught them how to vote for the DT A. Mr Lewer explains that he understood that the ballot was secret but when asked for whom he voted, he says DTA, explaining "I'm an old man now. I need that R60 and I' m not sure how much longer I'll get it."

Little Mike van Helsdenge, the 14-year-old son of Mr Van Helsdenge, wason the farm, giving out rations to . the workers when The Namibian's reporters arrived on their farm last weekend.

The highest paid labourer on his father's farm earned R60, while the lowest paid earned R40, he explained.

"I also work with them during vacations, driving cattle from one post to the other or dehorning. My dad is not always here as he has to buy calves from other farms."

"I am doing this for fun now but when I grow up, I want to be a farmer also."

He said some of his responsibili­ties, among others, were tosupervi~e work on the farm when his father was not there, giving out rations, et cet- ' era. ,

The rations entail sug~, coffee, tea, bread, fat and sometimes sweets for the children.

About the serious business of the political changes sweeping across the ·

country, the farmer's son, who seems to have received very good political coaching, says he thinks "it's going to be f\lll as long as the living stan­dards are maintained or even raised".

Mike van He1sdenge is a standard 5 pupil at Wennie du Plessis Secon­dary School, one of the 16 white schools which could be privatised soon by the Administrator-General.

"I don't care if blacks sit next to me, just as long as they are doing their work and we are doing our work."

If he had had a chance to vote, he would have voted DT A because it was the party where both white and blacks "have the same privileges" .

(;«' ~

FARM foreman Mr Petrus Lewer.

THE 14-year-old Mike van Helsdenge with the foreman at his father's farm, Mr Petrus Lewer. After 28 years of service, Mr Lewer receives R60 per month~ plus weekly rations of food.

A YOUNG boy receives his weekly food rations at the (;obabis

farm.

The workers on Mr Maritz's farm voted DT A too, if judged by the

.. clothes they were wearing when called by Mr Maritz to come and meet us.

"Are you happy working here?" Mr Maritz asked an elderly woman who has been working on his farm for 32 years .

"Yes, baas," she said. Later it was revealed that after 32 years of service she too earns only R50 per month, plus the weekly rations which are distributed to all the workers.

J ... On this salary she has eight chil­'dren to support, all of whom were born and have grown up on the farm.

Until a fmal draft of the constitution has been ratified and an independent government has come to power it seems unlikely that conditions for these labourers will change. But for the farmers themselves even the changes that have thus far taken place are going to take some getting used to.

Sitting in Mr Maritz lounge, he tells a story about some black work­ers he had invited into his hous« fOJ tea .

" Thcy sat here and we talked nicely, addre~sing each other informally," hc said. "But then whcn they were preparing to leave, one man said to mc, .. Dankie baas, dit was lekker."

There was laughter all around. But with apartheid attitudes as ingrained as they appear to be in this farming community, it secms that Swapo's poli cies of rcconciliation wi ll only become more difficult to uphold as its powcr to effect real change in thi s cou ntry becomes less the con tent of political spceches and more a reality .

THE NAMIBIAN

a ma s ea th

LAST co ony in Mrica A special correspondent of the Windhoek-based Namibia News Service took a morning off to drive to South Africa and back for an exclusive interview with the mayor of Walvis Bay. The headman of what is now truly Africa's last colony, Mr Nico Retief, tells about his house in Henties Bay and why the enclave really does belong to South A.frica.

NAMIBIA NEWS SERVICE: Many people in Walvis Bay, including yourself, who ha ve property in Namibia, would like to maintain links with Namibia after independ­ence. How do you think that can be done?

RETIEF: It will be a pity if the Constituent Assembly or the new government put limitations on own­ership of farms and property in Namibia for people who live in Walvis Bay.

On the other hand, you might have read in the papers that I have· re­quested the South African govern­ment not to place unnecessary blocks and limitations on free movement between Walvis Bay and Namibia.

My reason for this is that it would be a sony situation of the status quo if years of peaceful co-existence be­tween Namibia and Walvis Bay is broken down as a result of political ideologies .

My view is that it is unnecessary for both the Namibian and South African governments to restrict free­dom of movement and freedom of possession of property by residents in either country, something which has existed for years . It will be anti­democratic and anti-capitalistic to do so.

NNS: If you consider yourself South African, then why do you want to own property in Namibia?

RETIEF: Just to come back to what you said earlier about the new government in Namibia deciding that it won ' t tolerate absentee ownership of property and farol S. There is a good example.

I didn't want to mention names, but it is very interesting to note that a gentleman whom I know well, Mr Nico Bessinger, was born in Walvis Bay. He may well become a high­ranking official or minister in the new Swapo government. I was born in South Africa and I may not be allowed to own property in Namibia.

He was born in Walvis Bay - South Africa - yet he can become a minis­ter. That is very contradictory to me. I wonder if that should not be sorted out at some stage .

;'i~S: Do you, a.'i mayor of the South African town closest to a country ruled by a Swapo majority govern­ment, feel comfortable with this fact? What is your attitude towards the imminent government In Wind­hoek?

RETIEF: I see no problem. I have always known, was always prepared, that Swapo will get the majority of votes in a free election. It was not difficult for me to know who would win the elections .

It was therefore not a shock to me when Swapo won. When one listens to the pronounccments of Swapo leaders during the past days, I find nothing wrong in their leadership to make me uncomfortable or afraid. Person ally, J have accepted it.

And a, far a, rny colleague, on the council arc conccrned, I think they

have also accepted it. Indeed, I don't see how or why a Swapo majority government ought to be of harm to Walvis Bay.

NNS: South Africa has extended its state of emergency regulations to Walvis Bay. Was this necessary? Is the situation that bad here?

RETIEF: You've heard the state president say he will lift the emer­gency regulations as soon as pos­sible. As for Walvis Bay, it is diffi­cult to say. We see very little threat or security disruption here at the moment - so it's not necessary.

One must, however, remember that Namibia and Walvis Bay are gov­erned by two different authorities. And each government has different rules and regulations due to their different natures.

Therefore one must not expect the rules of Namibia to apply to Walvis Bay. But in the final analysis I think Walvis Bay will be governed more or less on the same footing as Namibia.

NNS: Swapo accepted that it could not campaign In Walvis Bay dur­ing the elections, and that the Walvis Bay Issue would be sorted out at a later stage. The elections showed that there are many Swapo sup­porters in the enclave. Are you not concerned that these supporters might in the near future want to conduct the activities of their party openly, and could not an explosive situation arise if they were pre­vented from doing so?

RETIEF: I could see that before the elections. But now that the elec­tion is over, one can ask that if South Africa conducted political activities in an independent Namibia, won't Namibia have all the right in the world to retaliate and have political activities in South Africa?

It's a question of to what extent one respects the other's soil. I feel convinced that the South African au­thorities will have a very low profile in Namibia after independence with regard to political activities. And they will likewise expect the lowest pos ­sible profile from a Swapo govern­ment on Walvis Bay soil.

And I think this sort of respect should be upheld, it could be upheld , and there is no reason whatsoever for the people of Walvis -Bay to feel frustrated because they stay and work there, and they have Namibian senti ­ments at heart.

They must appreciate that if I go to any country - England or America - I certainly cannot go and stand on the platform and start advocating South Afriean policies in just any way. They ' ll quickly say "Look, get out..."

[\;:\S: Many people in Walvis Bay (.'onsider themselves }\:amibians. You don't think they have the right to stay and exercise their rights, just like South Africa exercised ,its right in "'amihia'?

RETlEF: We l;(.:rtainly won't adopl the attitude of " stay or leave". We have the same sillUition in South Africa.

We have thousands of Malawians, thousands of people from other coun­tries, working in the mines and they come and go without making politi ­cal issues out of the labour situation. It's just a matter of mutual respect for each other's sentiments.

NNS: One positive thing that hap­pened recently in Walvis Bay is the opening of beaches and recreation facilities to blacks. How do the white residents of Walvis Bay re­gard the opening of whites-only resorts like that at Langstrand?

RETIEF: I myself was personally responsible for the opening of the resorts to all racial groups, and I have no regrets about it. However, the response I got from certain white residents was that it was wrong.

But 80 per centofthe total popula­tion responded to me that it was something that should have been done long ago. There will always be people who are opposed to such tliings, but I believe they will quickly get used to it.

NNS: I am a black reporter and yet you invited me to your house in Henties Bay, a town known for its right-wing convictions. How would you feel if certain Walvis Bay resi­dents heard of your offer?

RETIEF: There is nothing sinis­ter to making such an invitation in a new Namibiaundera Swapo govern­ment. There could be whites who would be unhappy, but I live my own life and I became mayor of Walvis Bay with everybody knowing my viewpoints. Publicising my viewpoints certainly won't change my position as mayor. There could be letters to the editor about my viewpoints, but I've got them and I don't mind making them known to anyone.

NNS: Let's assume that at some stage South Africa decides to hand Walvis Bay back to Namibia. If this happen, would you feel com­fortable still being mayor, or would you leave?

RETIEF: I have no problem being mayor. The questions you ask centre around the feeling that we' might have a problem with the Swapo government. Let me assure you that we haven't got a problem. Person­ally, I haven't.

The fact that we were at war with Swapo's Plan organisation in the past, those were the circumstances then, but things have changed and we cer­tainly are ready "to look at the new Namibia under a Swapo governn";I ~ I .

We find it very difficult to explain to people, but people must just accept it.

NNS: So you would remain if the enclave became part of Namibia'?

RETmF: If it ever became Na­mibian property, we'll just get on day to day. You would find people who would say they were not going to stand for it, just as you might ha ve found Swapo people leaving the

moment they found that Swapo had aceepted that Walvis Bay was South African property. No, as for me, I'll just carry on. I haven't sold my prop­erty in Henties Bay. In fact, I'm going there this afternoon ...

NNS: And you don't believe that Walvis Bay should rightly go back to the Namibians?

RETIEF: When you say Walvis Bay should become part of Namibia, I think to myself, for what reason? Namibia will have use of the port, they already have use of the rail­ways, TransNamib ... They have of­fices here and their trains pass here.

They are doing the entire job. The South African Railways is not pres­ent here anymore at all. With regard to the harbour, if they had complete use of it in the past, one could hardly see any reason why Namibia should be wanting to have control over it -because then they could do nothing more with it. If they control it, then they will also have to maintain it, and at the moment it is well maintained .

N~S : You agree with the concept of the Namibian government hav­ing to pay South Africa for use of the harbour'?

RETIEF: If you want service, you will have to pay for it. If you are not paying for the service, you'll have to pay someone to service it, to main­tain it. And that is what's happening with the harbour at the moment.

NNS: 80th Namibia and South Af­rica want to own Walvis 8ay. Why do you think that is?

RE11EF: The issue from Namibia's side is not sound. Nobody simply passes off property just like that. There must be a good reason before I sell my house. Once you own a place, you own it.. . (especially) if it's of valll\.: to you. maybe strategically IIr ot herw ise .

It certainly must have some value for South AITl,". otherwise they wouldn't hold on to it. TIle state president (then P.W. Botha) has on occasion stated that before South Africa thinks ofh:mding over Walvis Ray to any authority. the' rest of thc world must look at placcs likc Gibral ­tar, Ilong Kong and other arcas and frec poTls .

There is 1\(1 reason for South Africa [0 hl" first in [hc queue and say al ·

right, have it. Let the other people start first. I see Hong Kong is being given back to China and Gibraltar to Spain. But that was byway of con­tract.

NNS: Reports say you are consid­ering asking the South African gov~ ernment to make Walvis Bay a free port. Can you elaborate?

RETIEF: Some years ago we had a group from the University of Stellen­bosch to make an investigation into the question of a free port. This is strongly coming to the fore again as we are making appeals to the authori­ties to declare Walvis Bay a duty­free zone.

This will mean that anybody im­porting any components whatsoever, say radios, they can manufacture them here without paying any duties. That would mean tremendous cost-saving in capital for any company. The duty will become payable only once (the product) leaves the borders of the enclave.

At the same time, the common term 'free port' also theoretically is more meaningful in the old Walvis Bay/new Namibia scheme of things. This concept will call for the freest possible movement between Walvis Bay and Namibia .

NNS: Finally, is Swapo president Sam Nujoma welcome to Walvis 8ay?

RETIEF: I would certainly take exception if, when he comes here, he doesn't come and say hello tome. He holds the highest office in Namibia, and if he comes here we would like to receive him in a way befitting him . I'll take strong exception if they smuggle him in and out again. I want to be the first to know.

NNS: DQ you have a message for the people of ~amibia:

RETIEF: The message I have is that because they held such peaceful elections :md m3ttcrs arc so peaceful weeks after the election, then I c:m only sec a very prosperous futufc for Namibia . If Nanlibia has a good fu ­ture, then Walvis Ray will also havc a good futurc.

Onderwys onder soeklig DEUR STANLEY KATZAO

'n INTERNASIONALE KQnferensie oor Volwasse Opvoeding (IKVO), wat verlede week by die Hoerskool Martin Luther op Otjimbingwe gehou was, het 'n omvattende resolusie uitgehamer, wat bereik moet word om 'n gesonde en opbouende opvoedingsisteem in 'n toekomstige Namibie te ontwikkel.

* 'Grensgroepe' soos die San, vroue, gestremdes, die jeug en die kinders prioriteit moet geniet in terme van opvoedingsgeleen thede.

'n Verklaring wat nll. afloop van die konferensie uitgereik is,lui voorts dat 'as 'n voorvereiste versekering aan die Namibiers gegee moet word om . demokraties deel te neem aan besluite, wat hullewens bei'nvloed.

formele opvoeding aangewend moet word. 'n Verslag moet ook opgestel en aan aIle belanghebbendes uitgedeel word, finansiele bronne verken word om die vereniging te finansier en lede gewerf word.

Die bestuur van die loodskomitee, wat onder die beskerming van die CCN sy werksaamhede sal verrig, bestaan uit lede van uiteenlopende belangegroepe soos die Namibia Literacy Programme, CCN, RRR­komi tee, Rossing -Dpvoedingsentrurn, Swapo Literacy Programme en die Departemente van Nasionale Opvoed­ing en Welsyn.

Die konferensie was onder die vaandel van die Namibiese Raad van Kerke (CCN) gehou, se mnr. Vezera Kandetu, mede-hoofsekretaris van die CCN, wat die media vandeesweek kortliks daaroor ingelig het.

Onderwerpe wat onder die loep gekom het, was die verskillende sien­ings oor volwasse-onderrig deur mnr. Zach Kazapua, 'n kritiese ontleding van onderwys in Namibie deur pro­fessor Brian Harlech-lones, skeppende onderrig in teens telling met onderrig deur resultate (Hoe volwasses moet leer) deur professor Anne-Marie Heywood en volwasse opvoeding as bevrydingsopvoeding deur mnr. Paul Wangoola.

'n Paneelverslag is nll. die bespre­kinge deur deskundiges van Botswana gedoen, wat bestaan het uit drr. S. Gaborane en Mutava.

Die resolusies is geneem in die lig van die bydrae wat die nie-formele opvoeding gedurende die bevryd­ingsstryd gespeel het en daarom het hulle besluit dat:

* Kerk en nie-regeringsorganis­asies verteenwoordiging moet geniet in ligganle wat te doen het met die ontwikkeling van ' n nasionale leer­plan;

* 'n Toekomstige departement van ' , onderwys dieselfde erkening moet verleen aan formeJe soweJ as nie­formele sektore van ondeiwys;

* HuJpmiddels en geriewe deur

aIbei sektore gebruik word en sodoende optimaal benut word ten behoewe van die hele gemeenskap;

* Formele kwalifikasies en vaar­dighede oorweeg moet word in gevaIle van aanstellings, maar in die afwesighcid van formele kwaIifikasies, vaardighede oorweeg moet word;

* Toepaslike onderrigvaardighede ten opsigte van formele sowel as informe1e opvoeding 'n integrale deel moet vorm van onderwysopleiding;

* Opleidingsge\eenthede voorsien moet word, wat verband hou met die sosio-ekonomiese behoefdes van die mense;

* 'n Informele ekonomiese sektor geskep moet word sodat mense aangemoedig kan word om inisia­tiewe te neem;

* Die nuutgeskepte verlroue be­hou moet word as 'n basis vir toekom­stige sosio-ekonomiese ontwikkeling;

* Formele opvoeding, wat voorhcen as 'n instrument van onderdrukking gebruik was, nou vir sosiale omskep­ping en voOruitgang aangewend moet word;

* Die konsep kulruur, met verwysing na die vorige punt, hersien en herde­finieer moet word in breer terme;

* Die Namibiese tale geharmoni­:se!;l'moet word omnasionaJe versOe­ning en kuJtureJe identiteit te bevor-der; .

*. Daar reJevante en v'atbare opvOed­ing moet wees, veraJ in terme van

.! I t :

Wetenskap, Wiskunde, Tegnologie en Navorsing vir ontwikkeling;

* Daar ook veldtogte oor omge­wingbewustheids geloods moet word;

* Die onderWysberoep aantreklik gemaak moet word in terme van vergoeding sowel as diensvoor­waardes;

* Die spanning volle metode van die aflegging van eksamens onder­soek moet word en altematiewe maniere van evaIuering oorweeg word;

* Aile beroepe gelyke sosiale be­langrikheid moet geniet;

* Die wegdoen van diskriminasie en seksuele molestering; en

'n Loodskomitee is ook gevorm om onder meer die lewenvaatbaar­heid van 'n Namibian Assosiation for Literacy and Adult Education (NALAE) te ondersoek, en sodanige vereniging te stig wat by die African Assosiation for Literacy and Adult Education moet affilieer en 'n grond­wet vir die struktuur en organisaie van die vereniging op te ste!.

Die loodskomitee moet ook bepaaI walter soort aktiwiteite en programme vir die bevordering van geletterd­heid, volwasse opvoeding en nie-

Die komi tee sal sy werksaamhede binne die volgende ses weke voltooi. N avrae kan gerig word aan die sekre­taris van die loodskomitee, mnr. BeartS Ngatjizeko, by telefoonnommers Windhoek 217354 (H) of 37166n (W). Sy adres is posbus 7720, Katu­tura.

MASON GETS CLOSER TO TYSON'S TITLE BRITISH heavyweight Gary Mason extended his unbeaten record to 33 tights by narrowly outpointing American Mark Wills on Wednesday night. Mason, who has . been promoted as a possible future challenger to world champion Mike Tyson, got 98,5 points from referee Adrian Morgan to 97 for Wills. The British heavyweight champion was cut on both eyes and had blood coming from his mouth at the end of the tight. It was the tirst time in his five· year career that Mason had been forced to go 10 rounds. Wills, who now has won only 10 times in 21 professional tights, hit Mason hard with a right hook to the chin in the third round but wore down as the fight progressed.

BA HOLD YEAR· END FUNCTION

And youngster Eric Quest takes top honours ...

BY CONRAD ANGULA

THE Namibian football equivalent to South Africa's soccer glamour boys, Nashua Black Africa, held their year-end function at the Wanderers Sports Club in Pionierspark last Saturday.

The event was boosted by the pres­ence of top soccer officials and VIP's. The highlight of the evening came when the players were rewarded for their professional conduct through· out the season.

It came as no surprise when the YOtmg and talented Eric Quest was named Player of the Year. The skilled Eric - also known as Choice by his team-mates - was without doubt one of the players that has brought BA back to the top.

He has shown in all his games for the black and red outfit, known as·the Lively Lions for their highly enter­taining and explosive attacking style, that he is a player with a difference.

Eric, ifhe keeps his feet firmly on the grotmd, will certainly become a household name in NamibIan soccer. With the guidance of an experienced and qualified coach like Bush-Bush Phoofolo, I am sure that we could see an improved Eric in the" years to come.

Lucky 'Thindwa' Bostander, the catalyst behind BA's revival, took the Most Enthusiastic Player of the Year award. The player, called · Thindwa because of his cool and calculated style of play, is also one of the finest (if not the best) mid-field­ers in the COtmtry at the moment.

Prodigal son Cosmos Damaseb snatched the award for the Most Dedicated Player. Cosmos has not missed a single match since rejoin­ing BA from African Stars earlier this season, and he also brought back that much-needed stabi lity to the defence.

Cosmos, after receiving his award, joked that he was about to retire and one could hear a sigh of relief from Mabos Vries, the chairperson of Orlando Pirates, who was also a guest of honour at the ftmction .

The surprise of the evening, how· ever, came when Pairicius Parks (who is not a regular in Black Africa's squad), was crowned the Most Disci-

plined Player. It came as a shock to me when

Smithley Engelbrecht, who was also named the Castle Classic Player of the First-Rotmd earlier this season, was not named the Most Improved Player of the Seaon.

The YOtmg Smithley is one of the best dribblers in the game. He is known and feared for his dangerous rWlS on the wing as he zips through defenders with breath-taking ease. He also possesses a dangerous right foot and he has matured considera­bly this season.

The women in the netball team followed in Black Africa's steps and became the first winners of the newly· latmched Castle Classic Cup - to make it BA's cup.

Ingrid Louw, netball captain of BA and former BA stalwart Boetie Louw's daughter, clinched the Most Improved Player of the Year award.

Ingrid was also the star of the Castle Classic 15-9 victory over BS Tigers in the final, played at the Katutura Senior Secondary School netball court. She scored 11 ofthe 15 goals.

COSMOS Damaseb, one of BA's stars in the past season, gets 1I con gratuhfltory kiss from t'o-award winner, Ingrid Louw, who was named the Most Improved Player of the Year. Cosmos was crow lied as the Most I){'dicated Player of the Year.
