AINA! Hit where' it hurts·

BACK ON THE BEA T ••. Popular Namib­ian singing star Jackson Kaujeua is back with a song and a story. See pl2.

A WOMAN in Windhoek who followed the advice to 'hit him where it hurts' when being beaten up by her boyfriend may have bitten otT more than she can chew.

A lover's tiff on Tuesday night turned serious when the woman's boyfriend lost his temper and began physically attack­ing her. In the fight that followed, she managed to grab him by the genitals and bite his penis. WJ:1en she stopped biting she saw she had stripped most of the skin away from her boyfriend's penis leaving him covered in blood.

"It all started when he came home drunk from work and I asked him about some money of mine which had gone missing. He told me not to question him and made as if to hit me, " she said.

When the woman faced up to him, he said he wouldn't beat

her and she turned to walk away. "At that point he grabbed me by the wrist and began twisting my arm, " she said. "He then got me by the throat, knocked me to the floor and kept his knee on my chest, hurting my breasts and crushing my windpipe."

She looked desperately for something to grab and lit on the man's genitals which were close to her face. "I grabbed them and he started to relax his grip so I managed to get forward and bite."

When she realised her boyfriend was bleeding, she sent for the police, but when they arrived and found no one wanted to make charges, they went away again.

"The bleeding didn't stop and I sent forthe police again. This time they took us both to Katutura hospital where my boyfriend

Spanish pirates State ~ithdra~s in Onduri case

TYAPPA NAMUTEWA AT OUT JO

THE controversial 'racism' case against the owner of the Onduri Hotel at Outjo, Burkhard Friedrichsmeier, was withdrawn yesterday in the Outjo Magistrates Court.

It followed an incident on July 9 this year when Fried­richsmeier allegedly refused deputy minister of Wildlife, Nature Conservation and Tour­ism, Ben Ulenga, and his driver, entry to the hotel.

As the Magistrate refused a postponement as requested by the State, legally there was no option other than to withdraw the case. Jom Walters, appear­ing for the state, asked for a postponement because a cer­tain Herman Kulm was being

looked for to be charged as co­accused with Friedrichsmeier.

A warrant for the arrest of Kulmhad already been issued, according to Walters. But Kulm had allegedly disappeared and could not be traced. Kulm, although not still employed at the hotel, is the licef.lSe holder of the Onduri and was man­ager of the hotel until early this year.

ALL THE European ambassadors and the British High Commissioner were summoned to the Foreign Affairs ministry yesterday and asked: Help us bring the Span­ish hake pirates to justice.

Foreign Minister Theo-Ben Gurirab called the diplomats, including Spanish Ambassa­dor Carlos de Boado and Euro­pean Conummity delegate Luis Moreno, after receiving pho­tographs showing of two Span­ish trawlers stealing fish only last week.

He told them: "I have called you here to convey to you the seriousness with which my Government views this mat­ter. The Government of Na­mibia can no longer be held responsible for any eventual tragedy or loss of life on the high seas in Namibian territo­rial waters."

N.anubia, he added, had been willing to let "bygones be bygones" and had agreed to a request from Euro vice-presi­dent Manuel Marin to resume the fishing negotiations with

Europe which Marin had sus­pended in a controversial move.

Now the talks were off again and" further progress depends on the cessation of illegal fish­ing in Namibian waters by vessels of EC countries".

Speaking to The Namibian later, De Boado said he had promised the Spanish govern­ment's full co-operation and regret for what had happened, but said that it was very hard to control individual Spaniards. "We cannot send a fishing inspector with every boat, " he said.

For the EC, Moreno appar­ently pledged that the com­mission would include meas­ures to protect Namibian fish in the eventual fisheries agree­ment".

The watchdog body, which this week announced the pro­gramme for its second year, will launch a computer system to make life much more diffi­cult for prospective criminals.

conduct. The brokers who are its members have pledged ~t they will conduct their busi­ness with integrity and good faith and put their clients' inter­ests first, ahead of their own cash returns. They may only give advice in areas where they know what they are talking about and all information they receive from a client can only be used in renegotiating insur­ance unless the client agrees to wider use.

In addition, brokers can only make statements, whether verbally or in advertisements, which are factual and do not contain extravagant or mislead-

ing claims. The association only deals

with brokers and insurance broker companies who are paid mainly through a commission on the insurance they sell and can often give independent advice. They are different from insurance agents who are employed by one company to represent it. Brokers who do not give proper professional advice can be sued for dam­ages.

NIBA's president is Arthur Schiebler of Welwitschia In­surance while the vice-presi­dmts are W Schlabitz ofLmnley Namibia and Japie Steenkamp.

. This is part of a move to try and slow the spiralling cost of premiums, and all the associa­tion's 12 member companies will take part.

However, the brokers said they were horrified to learn that general sales tax at 11 per cent must be charged on their work and they would make representation to the Receiver

This is the first year that the brokers' association is charg­ing membership fees and, since it started in April 1990, about two-thirds of the country's broking companies have joined. Eventually it aims to introduce legislation through the National Assembly which will compel all brokers to register with it. The body will then be able to control brokers' licences and registration conditions and make sure they have their own protective insuran:e. It will keep a register of members.

LUSAKA: Zambia Con· solidated Copper Mines is to lay off about 7000 miners because. it cannot sustain its 60 000 workforce, says Mineworkers Union of Zambia deputy chairman Charles Mbao.

The ·government-owned Zambia Daily Mail on Mon­day quoted Mbao, who was speaking at a supreme union meeting at Kitwe in the Cop­perbelt region, as saying the union was swprised that ZCCM continued large scale recruit­ment of not only local but also expatriate staff in almost all areas of mining. ZCCM has approached the union to de­clare some of its miners r'edmi­dant.

Mbao said that in recent years ZCCM had intermittently employed more casual labour­ers, to perform operations previously done by union members.

He charged that the casual labourers were employed at

"Our members, some of them in their early 20s, are being declared redundant in suppos­edly terminated operations to be replaced by employees of private sub-contractors, whose perks incidently are higher than those of ZCCM employers," said Mbao.

He also called on the ZCCM to identify real reasons for the falling copper productivity because the industry had en­joyed "relatively good indus­trial harmony. ' ,

He added many miners wwld voluntarily retire - with an attractive redundancy package. - Sapa.

LUANDA: A 16-day strike by Angolan workers at the Cab­inda-Gulf Oil company (CABGOC) operation in the northem Angolan enclave of Cabinda has ended, the com­pany said on Wednesday.

"Some workers are already back at work, but the full workforce will only be in place today when all operations get back to nonnal," a Cabinda­Gulf management source told Reuters.

The strike overpay and condi­tions started on July IS, but CABCOG said lost production amounted to only about 380 000 barrels, with expatriate workers maintaining output.

The offshore field operated by the US Chevron oil company subsidiary CABCOG produced 260000 barrels per day (bpd) of Angola's total 470 000 bpd out­put. CABCOG holds 39,2 per cent equity in the operation, It­aly's AGIP Angola Ltd 9,8 per cent, and Angola's national oil company Sonangol51 per cent.

The CABGOC source said the striking workers had accepted a previous April agreement as the basis for the settlement and ac­knowledged they had been wrong in calling the wildcat strike. Every worker would con­finn in writing their acceptance of the agreement and pledge not to take part in wildcat or illegal striks, the source said.

Some reports from CABGOC staff said workers had also agreed to a 12-month no-strike deal even if further disputes arose. - Reuter.

Angolan prisons open their doors

TODAY'S WEATHER

• Warm in the north, otherwise fine and mild but cool in the south where it will be partly cloudy. • Coast: partly cloudy and cold with fog patches in the north. • Wind: moderate south-westerly but fresh in the south.

A RECENT agreement between Angola and the ICRC will allow the international prganisation to start visiting Angolan prisons on a regular basis.

NAMIBISCH DEUTSCHE STIFTUNG

The agreement is a breakthrough for the ICRC which has for years had virtually no access to Angolan prisons.

Fur Kulturelle Zusammenarbeit

According to Alain Rochat, the visits will begin after the prisoners of Angola's 16-year civil war have been released - a process which started shortly after the peace accord between the MPLA and Unita was signed.

The release of war prisoners has also been monitored by the ICRC. Rochat has just returned from Jamba where prisoners-of­war are being released. "Our role has been that of neutral intermediary.

Public lecture by Dr Hedda ·Meseke

M.P. (CDU) We have overseen the exchange of lists of prisoners and have

been verifying the identities of those released. We have also been checking that they are willing to return home. "

He said the process seemed to be going well, given that the country had so recently arrived at peace.

" The two sides are very friendly towards each other in public and willing to clear the matter up . But there is also inunense suspicion.

The ICRC is trying to create confidence, but the situation is not an easy one and the release of prisoners is not yet complete."

Bismarckstr.36

STARTING today, a dis­tinguished Mrican univer­sity is to present its re­search on Namibia in a link-up with our own uni­versity. The departments of political science in Windhoek and that of the University of Dar Es Sa­laam in Tanzania are pre­senting a two-day seminar on Namibia's independ-

. ence and its likely effect on the course of change in southern Mrica.

The Tanzanian academics researched how effective the United Nations' role was dur­ing the transition to independ­ence and what the changes in the rest of world politics had to do with Namibia's independ­ence. They also looked at how the exiles were brought home, the laws and institutions cre­ated for elections and the role of political parties and pres­sure groups during them.

These questions are all rele­vant to South Africa which is also about to enter a time of transition to democracy and to speed the return of exiles. Namibia has provided one example to study.

Dar Es Salaam· started work on their research as Namibia's transition to independence began. A three-person research team came in ~uly 1989 and then a longer six-person visit between September and No­vember.

Speakers at the August 2-3 seminar include Tanzanian professors, Uazavara Katjivena of the N amibian Broadcasting Corporation, Immanuel Dumeni. of the RRR Committee and Professor Gerhard Totemeyer

which my blonde Scandi­navian girl told me was one of the best horse institutions in the world and which was based in Austria. And as I sat there and watched, I wished he was still alive. If he had had the chance in an inde­pendent Namibia he would have certainly obtained a winning medal at such horse shows.

"The soul is struggling with him," one of the many ex­tended uncles said as we all sat in silence our faces etched with grief and sadness. We felt the pain with him and it was obvious to us from what the uncle had said that death was nearing. "Why can't he be taken to the doctors or to the hospitals," one of the girls asked as her eyes shone with tears.

"Ajee, we don't have the right to trespass his will. He said he should never be taken to hospitals where people's corpses are placed in refrig­erators Hke meat."

Tsu·ufff_one of her tear­drops feU into the hot ash as she Hstened to him and we looked on with bent heads. As the atmosphere became too sombre for the usual jokes and stories or songs that we shared around the flre we, all the children, decided to disperse and went to our tent that we had received from the Odendaals. We began to feel that ifit had not been for

their strategy of removing us from our southern lands we would not have had all these problems.

''00000._0000000_0000'' the groans of pain from the hut of the man with the danc­ing horse drove us deep into the world of dreams of death and nightmares. Apparently sometimes one tends to dream aboutthings that are on your mind, whether pleasant or unpl~t. Granny and the household women were an gathered there and we could hear them trying tQ. comfort him by massaging and feeding him and keeping him company. From the hut next to ours the other uncle who was with us at the flre was snoring, making even the dogs bark. "Grrrrr •• tuff, grrr .• tutf". At times when we shared the same hut, I would wake him up and teU him that he was snoring because it was so scary and disturbing. He would say ''yes, I'm sorry" and change gear to a "gmT~ a-gm-..pd!". The smaller kids used to cry at times at nights.

In the very early morning hours of that morning I felt somebody violentiy pull off my blankets. I jumped up in fright • . It was my feUow adopted sister crying "Uncle has passed away".

"Who told you," I asked, my heart now beating like

'"

mad. But before she could answer, I heard the weeping of the women as they do tra­ditionally. I quickly put on my patched dark brown shorts and went outside. A giant fire was burning surrounded by all the other uncles and some men from the neighbourhood. As the sun was about to rise, I proceeded to the goat cor­rals to milk the few that we were left with. After break­fast I drove them out to the veld for grazing as it was my turn to herd them. The whole day I was preoccupied with the question of death and what was life after death anyway, and why do we die in the ftrst place. But Granny's prov­erbs reminded me of it being a natur8J. process that we had to go through whether we like it or not.

"Tjiriua pepua, tjita tjizembua" - it's eaten and finished, it's dead and for­gotten, she would say. When I returned home from the veld that afternoon, our homestead was a host to uncountable cars and carts, and people were still stream­ing in from the other villages of Ombu janJama, Okatjana, Erindl roukambe on foot. The red otjizerandu ftag was tlying high in front of the deseased's house. The man of the danc­ing horse was buried amid the traditional chants, speeches and songs and the place 'Erindi rozondjou' -EJ.ephantsvlei earned its praise name that is always derived from the ancestoral roots of a person who dies first at a newly iilhabited place . .

, . , THE NAMIBIAN Friday August 2 1991 13

Labour pains as 500cc of doctored Africa spurts into main artery I WAS sitting here thinking

about tangents to the truth and whether or not the ~ffering oppressed readers of this col­umnare ready for the real story behind the covert slush-funded bilateral agreement between Life and Death.

It is a story so twisted and implausible that DTA-gate would seem positively ethical.

But I can ~o longer trust any of you. At least not until you start learning to stop looking for signs aild messages:

All I can say right now is that a Transvaal pharmaceuti­cal factory subsididsed by Armscor is at this very mo­ment secretly constructing a giant turbocbarged valium pill, atleast 200 metres long, which will be lowered by helicopter into the Union Buildings in Pretoria late one moonless night in August.

Instead of spending lunch gnawing at a charred Kudu haunch, shadowy figures will dart through the corridors of power searching for a break in the long line of uniforms and suits hunched over sucking at the giant tranquilizer.

The hberal faction: of the A WB will start manuf~ latex rubber safari suits for those who have been on the pill for too long. Sexual aber-

rations will proliferate, and soon Magnus Malanis caught in the showers like some depraved impotent onanist screaming: "Come slush my fund, bay­beeee!!"

OK, so they took away De­fence before he hurt himself, but then they give him Hous­ing. I am going to make a motim picture called Magnus - Min­ister of Housing. The star will be the stunt-man, and there will be sequels. Plenty of them. There will be Magnus - Minis­ter ofW orks; Magnus - Minis­ter of Water Affairs; and fi­nally Magnus - Minister of Forestry.

And FW tries to palm that off as sidelining Psycho-Gen­eral?

What the Lesser Spotted Balding Reformist has done is put the entire country's infra­structure in the hands of a man who made the rank of supreme officer by doing things which cannot be revealed in a publi­catim·wbichcosts my 50 ceDts.

As Minister of Works, the LSBR obviously feels that Magnus has all the qualifica­tions he needs. And 90 he should. Magous &pm many happy yeam as a freelance town planner. Forced removals are, after all, essemially a musing issue. With Magnus as Minister of Hous-

ing, we can look forward to a lot more real estate coming onto the market in South Af­rica. Vast tracts of land will be opened up as teams of race­crazed bombers and arsonists move through the townships. And when the labour market turns bullish, Magnus will gear up into his Works portfolio and plant millions of anti-per­sormel mines on every dirt road in the country. And if that . doesn't stop the swine, it's time for Water Affairs to kick in. Good thinking, FW. Go m then, give this man free and unlim­ited access to the country's water supply. Great move ... pass the stomach pump and what In the name of Jesus do you mean there's no antidote, doctor!?

No, son, I'm afraid what you can expect now is a steady shrinking of the brain wiJh three, maybe four weeks left to go. After that you're ' left with a lump of dehydrated tissue the size of a pea rattling around inside your head. And if by chance you still refuse to join the Conservative Party, then expect to wake up on a 1Ues­day morning and see .a man who looks like the Minister of Forestry in a government con­stituted by transsexual lum­berjacks who think Mussolini

was too left-wing. Yes, Magnus has plenty of

experience in forestry too. In fact, most of southern Angola furnished the White House and the Pentagon.

. As a boy, Magnus showed an early aptitude for this port­folio. Onhis ninth birthday, he massacred the entire neigh­bouIhood pet population after stumbling across a chain-saw which Pa was saving for his 11th birthday.

So as we crawl whimpering into the nineties, we can look forward to a new South Africa ... a South Africa with no trees, poisoned water, mined roads and burning homes.

It all sounds strangely fa­miliar.

Then there's Minister Adriaan 0 Vlok Wat Nou.

Making a huge success of Law and Order, the honour­able 0000 vlok felt this would be a good time to get to know the layout and exit points of his country's prisons. Very useful information for a man of his standing in the commu­nity, and bound to come in handy in the future.

As Minister of Correctional Services, we can be sure that South Africa's prisoners wel­come the appointment of a man who orders three months soli-

tary for any cmvict who doesn't finish his vegetables at lunch. Warders will be encouraged to practice crowd control on sleep­ing first-offenders and lifers will be issiJed with fake am­nesty letters to keep them on their toes.

It's now after 2am and a frighteqing time to realise that a ceiling is nothing but a wall on its side. And when you understand the implications of this, you will also know that Kalashnikov was not a man to whom reconciliation came naturally.

National Reconciliation is finally locking horns with its mutant bastard brother, Af­firmative Action.

There will be no men::y shown and none given in this step­mother of all battles. All we are waiting for is someone to blow the whistle or deliver a one-liner with too much innu­endo 'to the wrong person.

Africa is the cutting edge of the world. The suits and the surgeons think they are on the tightrope out there wallowing around knee-deep in blood and semen at the New York Stock Exchange.

Come to Africa. Come to the cutting edge. Danger lurkS inside ox

wagons and station wagons : ..

take your position and stake your sanity. If reality doesn't get you first, ~en The Fe.ar will. There is no way out and there isno way in. Once you're wherever, you're there forever. Tighten· that tourniquet aria pump that vein, because here comes Africa steaming into the mainline.

Strap on that strait-jacket and sit the bastard out. Even if you have to spend 30 years rocking back and forth on your heels, moaning and keening at a whitewashed wall in the cold­sweat-soaked comer of a shoot­ing gallery in downtown Ad­dis.

Only then are you ready to take on the pimps and the junk­ies and the preachers anywhere in the world.

But be warned. Once the needle is removed,

withdrawal begins. Psycho­nausea .rapidly become irra­tional cravings for self-immo­lation.

Arid this is not a society which relates easily to pity.

Ostracism and cynicism are early symptoms, which if left untreated, will swell and bloat . until the politicians find you and begin feeding on your festering pain.

Bad news will have to wait until next week.

NAMIBIe behoort die Spaanse AJiibassadeur • indien hy nog nie genoeg tyd gehad het nie • 'n redelike tydperk te gee om genoegsame stappe te neem om die plundering van die visbron op ons kuste deur vissersbotevan sy land effektief help stop te sit. Indien hy nie daaraan voldoen nie, sieIi Fokus geen rede waarom hy nog in die land moet wees nie. Fokus wil nie graag na die Spaanse ambassadeur verwys as ekonomiese saboteur nie en hoop die geleentheid sal hom ook nie voordoen nie. Die land het onatbanklik geword en word geprys as een van die mees demokratiese in die -Derde Wereld. Ons grondwet word bestempel as een van die bestes. So ver, so goed. Punt. Dit Iyk egter asof hierdie land nou ook meeding met ander lande . vir die titel; "Die Mees Verdraagsame Land in die Derde Wereld." Miskien het Namibie dit reeds verwerf. Dit sou goed wees as die land dit ook kon verwerf, maar nee dankie • net nie ten koste van die sabotasie van sy ekonomie nie. Dit kan eenvoudignet nie bekostig word nie. Spanje is -alreeds by 'n vorige geleentheid in kennis gestel van die oortredings van sy burgers in die viswa· ters van Naniibie maar dit wil voorkom asof geen of onbenullige stappe geneem word om dit stop te sit. Dit is natuurlik nie vir die Spaanse regering moontlik om die bewegings van elkeen van sy vissersbote dop te hou nie. Dit kan egter nie as verskoning aanVaar word nie aangesien die skepe in Spanje geregistreer is en daar hullisensies kry. . Die behoeftigheid van die land en die afwesigheid van 'n militere vloot wat daarin sal slaag om oortreders aan die man te bring word skaamteloos misbruik om die skaars bronne van 'n land wat reeds min besit te plunder. Dit wil voorkom asofhierdie plunderaars die burgers en die regering van die land uittart. Dul skepe le soos aartsbo· elies in die waters van die land met die wete dat byna niks aan hulle gedoen kan word nie. Agterna is dit dieselfde boelies, wat van die onmag van die land misbruik gemaak het, wie na hul aangekeer word kom aanspraak maak op die regverdigheid van die howe in die land en dan nog appeleer ook. Dit is moeilik om te verstaan waarom soveel tyd en geld gemors moet word om aan hierdie plfrnderaars wek· elange verhore te gee. Dit is nog moeliker om te verstaan dat dieselfde vissers wat in blatante verontagsaming van die soewereiniteit van 'n land en op 'n wyse wat vernederend teenoor die burgers en regering is, kom in OIlS howe en kom aanspraak maak op 'n regverdige verhoor by dieselfde yolk wat op so 'n pynlike wyse deur hul verneder is. Indien Spanje werklik in goeie verbou~ met Namibie belang stel sou hulle baie meer doen om die land behulpsaam te wees in die voorkoming van hierdie euwel. Dit kan nog nie bep~ word of goeie diplomatieke ver. houdinge 'n diplomatieke set is wat gebruik word om Namibie kalm te hou sodat die plundery ongestoord kan voortgaan nie. Die motiewe vir die behoud van goeie diplomatieke ver· houdirige in die aangesig van ekonomiese sabotasie is egter reeds te betwyfel. Is daar moontlik redes waarom daar aan hierdie ver· houdinge gekleef word? Indien na die belang van die visbron vir die toekoms van hierdie land gekyk word regverdig dit drastiese stappe aan die kant van die Kabinet, die Nasionale Vergader. ing en die Dowe van hierdie land. Dit kan nie regverdig Wees om van burgers van die land te verwag om met minder tevrede te wees vir die behoud van goeie verhoudinge en om voorsiening te maak vir die "kwotas" van die Spaanjaarde nie. Namibie behoort te kies tussen goeie verhoudinge met Spanje en sy eie ekonomiese toekoms. Indien tussen die twee gekies moet word is Fokus seker dat 99% laasgenoemde sal kies .• indien voorsiening geoiaak moet word vir die burgers waarvan die belange by 'n ander land le.

THE' NAMIBIAN Friday August 2 1991 17

Spanjaarde 101 no TWEE Spaanse bote is verlede Donderdag, 25 Julie, opgemerk terwy. hulle onderskeidelik ongeveer 20 en 8 my I suid van die Angolese grens en binne die viswaters van Namibie visvang. . -

'n Besoeker, Inge van den Busche, assistent van 'n Eu­ropese Parlementarier, het 'n roetine-vlug van die Ministerie van Seevisserye meegemaak: toe hulle op die toneel afkom.

Sy het skyfies van die Egun­sentia en die Hermanuel Car­rido geneem terwyl hulle oor­tree en gister aan die pers ver­toon.

Terselfdertyd het Bob Hughes, 'n Britse LP van die Arbeidersparty, 'n verklaring uitgereik waarin hy horn sterk uitgespreek het teen die oor­tredings van die Spaanse vis­sersbote.

Die eerste van die twee bote, die Egunsentia, is omstreeks 16h30 ongeveer 20 my I vanaf die grens van Angola en 155 my I binne die Eksklusiewe Ekonomiese Sone vanNarnibie opgemerk.

Die sonar van: die skip, wat gebruik word om te bepaal hoe diep die vis loop, was nog uit. Die nette was kort gelede opgetrek en die afleiding wat geIhaak is, is dat dit kort ge­lede 'n vangs voltooi het en besig was om die vis verder te verwerk:.

Die Hermanuel Carrido is kort daarna omstreeks 16h45 ongeveer 8 myi suid van die Angolese grens en 177 my I binoe die viswaters vanNannbie opgemerk.

-die Spaanse regering weet watter stappe hulle geneem het om onwettige vangste deur hul landsburgers stop te sit en watter stappe geneem is teen skepe wat voorheen deur Namibie aan hulle gerapporteer is.

Hy wou ook van dieselfde regering watter stappe hulle sal neem in die lig van die Egunsentia en die Hermanuel Carrido se herhaaldelike oor­tredings in die viswaters van Namibie en in die geval van die Hermanuel Carrido die vlagrante verontagsaming van maritieme reg deur die naam dood te verf.

Hy het aanbeveel by die Europese Gemeenskap om nie meer skeepseienaars wat oor­tree behulpsaam te wees met die verkryging van lisensies nieenom 'nlys met name van al die skepe van die Europese Gemeenskap wat in Angolese waters visvang aan Namibie beskikbaar te ste!. Indien gehuurde skepe gebruik word moet dieselfde gedoen word.

Hy het verder gevra dat daar op 'n weeklikse basis aan Namibie gerapporteer moet word oor die liggings van al die visskepe wat in die suide­like viswaters van Angola teen­woordig is. . In die verklaring se Hughes

dat suksesvolle optredes deur N amibie teen hierdie skepe daarin geslaag het omhulle uit

die land se viswaters te hou, Hullekeeregterelkekeerna 'n rukkie terug.

Die twee skepe was reeds in Namibiese waters opgemerk en hul name is, tesame met Pie name van ander oortreders, is reeds in Oktober 1990 aan die Spaanse owerhede oorhandig.

Hughes se dat hierdie skepe, die versekerings wat deur Spanje gegee is ten spyt, nog met hul onwettige bedrywighede in Narrubiese viswaters voortgaan.

Hy se verder die Europese Gemeenskap sal indien hulle werklik daarin belang stel om Namibie by te staan in sy pogings om sy visbronne te laat berstel, die land op konkrete wyse moet bystaan om hierdie onwettige plundering stop te sit.

Die nette van die treiler was uitgegooi en die skuit was duidelik besig met 'n vangs. ])ie Hermanuel Carrido het probeer om haar identiteit te verbloem deur die naam dood te verf. .

Bob Hughes wou gister van

Inge van den Busche(middel), Assistent van ' n Europese Parlementarier, het verlede Donderdag fotos van twee Spaanse skepe in Namibiese viswaters geneem en dit gister aan die pers verto~n. Regs sit Robert Dughes, 'n LP van die Arbeidersparty iD. die Verenigde Koninkryk, wat gister 'n versoek aan die intemasionale wereld gerig het om Namibie by te staan met die bewaring van sy visbronne. Links is Moses Garoeb, Dootkoordineerder van Swapo.

VANDALE LOS NIE SKOLE V ANDALISME op skole het afmetings aangeneem wat indien dit toegelaat sou ~ord om op die huidige trant voort te duur die regering se planne om onderwys toeganldik vir almal te maak ernstige skade sal berok·

. ken.

Dieregering is tans. besig om teen 'n koste van R1,4-miljoen die Nossob Primere Skool op Witvlei, die Ubasen en Rabeje Primere Skole op Omaruru, Dr. Lemmer Senior Sekondere Skool op Rehoboth sowel as die Ipumbu Sekondere Skool en vier ander skoie op te knap. Volgens Manfred Dede-

kind, Skakelbeampte van die Ministerie van Opvoeding en Kultuur, is die fondse wat benodig word vir hierdie werk veel meer as wat beskikbaar is, vir instandhouding en herstel­werk aan die skole.

Hy se herstelwerk aan skole word elke ses tot agt jaar gedoen weens 'n tekort aan fondse.

Een van die klaskamers van die Goreangab Junior Sekondere Skool vr~r vanjaar. Die skool het in die laaste drie jaar erg deurgeloop onder vandale en het weer 'n opknapping nodig~

Hy het daarop gewys dat 'n pain- skole in Katutura so onlangs as Julie 1988 opgeknap is. Opknapping aandie St. Barna­bas Primere skool het R571 000 bedra terwyl R560 000 aan die Goreangab Jwiior Sekon<Iere Skool spandeer is. By Theo Katjimune is R633 000 spandeer terwyl dit by Namutoni R639 000 was. Op Bet El Primer is R221 000 spandeer terwyl R 700 000 aan Augustineum spandeer is.

Die Goreangab Junior Sekon<Iere Skool is moontlik die ergste deur vandalisme in

die tussentyd geraak. Tans het die skool weer 'n groot be­hoefte aan opknapping. Meer as eenhonderd ruite is by die skool gebreek en daar is ook skade aan die geboue gerig.

Volgens 'n beampte in die Ministerie van Werke is die aanvraag vir herstelwerk deur die Ministerie van Opvoeding en Kultuur ongeveer R23-miljoen. Dit is byna die helfte van die aanvraag deur al die ander ministeriee saam.

Hierdie hedrag sluit ook nie die skole in wat afgebrand is nie.

Voorman aangekeer 'n SEWE·EN·SESTIG·JARIGE man sal vandag in die Windhoekse Magistraatshof verskyn op twee Idagte van poging tot moord na 'n skietvoorval op 5 Julie vanjaar waarin Abraham Drawer na bewering op die plaas Tantus deur albei bene geskiet is. Die man is eergister omstreeks 18hOO deur die polisie in hegtenis geneem.

Inspekteur Sean Geyser het eergister verduidelik dat die soek­tog na die vo~rman so lank geneem het aangesien die dokter wat vir Draaier behandel het eers opgespoor moes word. 'n Verklar­ing moes ook afgeneem word en agtema moes die polisie op Klein-Aub in kennis gestel word.

Een van die sake spruit na bewering rut 'n argument wat tussen Draaier en die voorman oor betaling ontstaanhet. Draaier beweer hy is afgedank en het aangedring vir betaling vir perde wat hy opgelei het. Hy beweer hy is deur die voorman deur albei bene geskiet terwyl hy'n perd gelei het waarmee hy sy eie perd wou gaan haal. In 'n allder voorval het die voorman na bewering op Draaier se ouer suster Rebekka geskiet toe sy op die plaas opdaag om met sy toe stemming na haar verlore varke te soek.

Konchellah confident of tiltle WORLD 800 meters champion Billy Konchellah, dogged by asthma since winning the title in Rome in 1987, said he was confident he would win gold again at next month's world athletics championships in Tokyo.

In good health as I am now, it is not possible to lose," Konchellah said. Konchellah has struggled with asthma and al­lergy-related ailments since shortly afterhis victory in Rome four years ago. "Now I have a clean bill of health, .. said Konchellah, who underwent 800 medical tests during treatment in the United States before conquering his illness.

Konchellah, 28, said the greatest challenge to his title defence would be from two fellow Kenyans -- Olympic champion and

, world indoor record holder Paul Ereng and Robert Kibet. Konchellah predicted Britain's Peter Elliot, silver medallist at

the Rome Championships, and Brazil's Jose Barbosa would be finalists in Tokyo.

FA to get tough on doping THE English Football Association (FA) issued a pre-season warning to clubs saying that they intended to step up random dope testing. " We do not consider we have adrugsprobleminour sport when compared to some others but the message to all clubs and players is now clear," FA spokesperson David Bloomfield said.

"We don't want drugs in football and we have the power to impose penalties on people found guilty, " he said.

In June the FA decided to introduce legislation "specifically prohibiting the taking of banned drugs" by players.

~H8 NAMIBtAN

SPORT SHORTS It said: "With immediate effect drug tests will be compulsory

and any player testing positive will be charged under FA rules. ' , They sent all 93 league clubs a list of some 500 banned

substances, including many ~veryday medicines. They also is­sued a list of ' 'safe" common medications.

, 'Club doctors will now have to check on what their players are eating and drinking and what medicines they are taking, ' , he said.

Aces spark total surprise TOTAL WitbankAces scored a surprise 1-0winoverhigh-riding Sharp Black in their NSL Castle League soccer match played at the Rand Stadium on Wednesday night. Aces led 1-0 at the interval. The match never rose to any great heights with Black­pool players obviously having their minds on Sunday's JPS Knockout play-off final match against Hellenic in Cape Town.

The all-important goal was scored by Andries Chitja who blasted home after the Blackpool captain Harold Eills failed to clear John Sebeko's right-wing cross in the 19th minute.

The Witbank club had the better of exchanges in the first period, but tended to relax after the break and it took a couple of magical saves from Aces goalkeeper Joseph Sibiya to prevent substitute Bongeisi Biyela from scoring in the 57th minute.

A few minutes later Sibiya pulled off a blinder when he prevented Juli Bantwana from equalising with a fiercely struck shot from 25 meters.Aces managed to weather the storm, and despite extra time manage~ to hold out for two valuable points.

'Tigers suspend three players BS Tigers yesterday suspended three of their players - striker Foresta Nkkodemus, mldfielder Teenage Iyambo and defender Doe ShUmI - for three matches with Immediate effect.

The three were found guilty of assaulting Stlmela Ndjao of Orlando Pirates and Costa Lucas of African Stars last weekend.

This was revealed to The Namlblan Sport by team PRO Sacky Namgongo, who Is also a member of the team's Disciplinary Committee. The action was taken after the team decided to take ,stern steps against anyone bringing the club Into disrepute.

"We want to prove to the sport-loving community that we wholeheartedly regret the players' actions and that we will do everything within our power to restore the pride and dignity of our club," said Namgongo, who added that they had already apolo­gised to the African Stars management.

STOP THE BARBARISM! I am disappointed and fed-up with the ongoing violence at the Katutura soccer stadium. The violent - or rather barbaric - actions of some elements have become a nightmare for the majority of peace-loving citizens of this country. I am sure many people will agree that soccer is on the verge of collapse and the NF A must take drastic steps to safeguard our sport. Soccer despite being the sport that is played by the majority, was always the 'step-child' to the previous sports administrators in this country. And the last thing we need now is a bunch of knife­waving thugs that beat up and intimidate fans duriilg and after soccer matches. We still have a hell of a long way to go to catch-up with the rest of the football playing Mrican nations. What local football desperately needs now is unity so that we can improve our game. Hooliganism is returning to stadiums just as Namibian football is on the verge of receiving badly needed tech­nical assistance from international experts. The Football Association was assured by the President of the Confederation of Mrican Footbal (Cat), Issa Hayatou, on his recent visit here that his association was eager to assist our officials to improve the game. Internationally experienced and trained administra­tor s, coaches, referees and sport injury 'specialists' are included in the assistance that Hayatou, who is also the vice-president of Fifa, has promised. The road ahead is looking promising for local football BUT we must be ready to take proper advantage of all that is offered, so let us grow up and stop acting like children. The future of football is in our hands and there is plenty of room for improvement on the playing field as our national under-2J team showed during the Zone Six tournament. Let us put racial hatred aside and work together to gain our r ightful place in international competition. It may look like an impossible task but together we can build a formidable football nation. I am once again appealing to the officials of each and every club in this country, and in particular the NF A, to take stern measures against anyone who brings our game into disrepute. The guilty parties must be prevented from harming football. Good behaviour is necessary at our sports grounds and in the country as a whole. We can all enjoy the fruits of our independence together. • Meanhwile Hendrick Christiaan, vice-president of the NF A and Premier League chairperson, said the league was desperately looking for people who wanted to be trained as a 'Match Commissioners." Anyone who lives in the areas where NF A and Premier League matches are played and is interested in becom­ing an official is welcome to apply, he said. Christiaan can be contact at the office of the NF A at tel.(061) -225695 or by fax number (061)~224454.

And according to sources in Tsumeb, the team has been training together since Mon­day.

Said Bullet Hansen: " It is going to take a good side to beat the 'Old Crocks,' as the team consists of some of the country's really big names. Age is going to count against them but I am sure they will give a good account of themselves. "

In addition, the Nomstoub team has still to play two matches while Ramblers and .Arrows are only scheduled for one match each.

The two clubs are currently heading the log with 30 points from 22 matches but the Rammies are tops because of their superior goal aggregate.

Santos, with 29 points from the same number of matches as the leaders, need to win one and to draw the other match to replace the leaders.

But Maxlohnson's lads are probably hoping that both Ramblers snd Arrows will lose their respective matches against Nashua Black Africa and Liv-erpool.

Santos however need to pull out all stops to overcome the unpredictable Civics who beat them in a Castle Classic cham­pionship quarter final match last weekend.

Sunday will see the Nomtsoub side facing a highly motivated and improved Sorento Bucs who have booked themselves a place in the final of the Castle Classic cup against Black Africa next weekend.

Sorento are not nicknamed the 'Giant Killer' for nothing and it will take a real tough side to spoil their recent fine run of five wins and one draw in their last six matches.

Carrying Santos' s hopes is the freo..scoring GeIroS Wubeen who will be back in the squad .after a two week absence.

Other interesting matches at the weekend includes fourth­placed Pepsi Africsn Stars who, with BS Tigers, will be trav­elling to Khorixas and Outjo this weekend.

With 28 points from 23 matches (one more than the three top teams) the Pep~ Boys also stand a good chance of improving their position on the log at the weekend.

However Stars are suffering from inconsistent form at the moment, excelling in one match

and losing in the next. But their hosts at the weekend (Golden Bees and Robber Chanties) have been none too consistent themselves so Stars could come up trumps.

Champions Nashua Black Africa, who put up an excel­lent performance against their traditional rivals Sarusas Orlando Pirates last weekend, could also join the top three teams on the log they once headed.

Black Africa, who will take on Young Ones and Ramblers respectively, are beginning to regain form but it will be inter­esting to see whether the Met­ropolitan champions can over­come a certain jaded weary­ness to contain their two oppo­nents.

Samsas Orlsndo Pirates, who are still licking their wounds after their 2-1 defeat by Black Africa last weekend, would like to redcem1hemselves when they host less fancied SKW FC and Nampol FC at the weekend.

Pirates, despite bowing out from their second major cup competition, showed some first class football last weekend, especially against BA, snd had only themselves to blame for switching to a defensive style after leading 1-0 at change­over.

Team coach Eric Muinjo had promised earlier that Katutura fans would see a different Pi­rates last weekend and they certainly put up an admirable fight against Tigers (whom they beat 2-1) and Black Africa.

ICRC seeks Govt help THE INTERNATIONAL Committee of the Re"­Cross (ICRC) has asked the Government to nomi­nate a member of Swapo as a Iiason officer for its mission to trace Namibi­ans who went missing during the war . .

It has also requested that the Namibian Government to approach the Governments of South Africa, Zambia, Botswana and Angola, as well as the United Nations High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR), for their co-opera­tion on the matter.

According to ICRC delegate in Windhoek Alain Rochat, these guarantees of co~opera­tion are vital for the progess of the mission, as delegate~ will need to look for missing people in neighbouring countries. 1be first quarterly report on the mission, promised to the Gov­ernment by the ICRC, will be presented three months after the guarantees are made.

Rochat was keen to clear up

any misunderstanding which may have resulted from a TV report which suggested the Swapo liaison officer would be accompanying tracing dele­gates into Angola.

"That is not the case at all, " he said. "The liaison officer will merely be anintermediary between the · ICRC and rele­vant people in the Govern­ment."

During the tracing process the ICRC would probably need to ask questions of several people in the Government and Swapo. "We can't direct all our enquiries to the Office of the Prime Minister. The liai­son officer will help us direct our requests to the appropriate people."

The ICRC had specified a member of Swapo in its re­quest to the Government be­cause it expected to need an­swers mainly from that party, said Rochat. "It wouldn't help us much if the Government nominated a person from the DTA."

The work of the liaison offi-

cer would be to pass on letters, be acquainted with some of the files and try to provide an­swers to the ICRC.

In a recent letter from Geneveva headquarters to the Govemment, the ICRC stressed it would initially only with work cases already on file at the Wmdhoek office, some ofwbich date back to the early 1980's.

. "The ICRC will then decide on the basis of the first results, whether it will be able to deal with new requests." In order to avoid raising false hopes, the ICRC has asked family members seeking to trace a missing person not to contact the delegation until the ICRC has made a public announce­ment on the matter.

Rochat pointed out that the ICRC had not been sitting idle on tracing requests already submitted by relatives. At present there were about 140 files open, including some on people arrested by South Afri­can forces in Namibia who were last seen in South African jails, he said.

HEAVY fines,jail sentences, the confiscation of fishing vessels and equipment, which has been the fate of past offenders who have plundered Namibia's fishing resources, do not appear to be drastic enough measures to deter Spanish sea robbers, as the above photo of a Spanish vessel fishing illegally in Namibian waters only last week shows.

Illegal fishing: what can be done? FROM PAGE 1

rido had painted out its name in a clear violation of maritime law. Fines and confiscation totalling R150 million against five

Spanish captains has not stopped the fiSh plunder. But the new pattern, according to British MP Bob Hughes and assistant to a Euro-parliamentarianlnge Van den Bussche who actually photo­graphed the boats, is to fish off Angola under an EC-Angolan agreement. The robbers then slip across the border and steal the fish form Namibia's 200-mile exclusive economic zone mainly

THE TWO boats which were spotted last week were probably out of Namibia's exclusive economic zone within hours. What can be done to stop them? The Namibian courts have already delivered stinging sen­tences, but this has not stopped the robbery.

The first and most practical step is to beef up Namibia's defences. Countries such as Germany, the US, Norway and France are providing practical help. The final plan for how Namibia's patrol boats will work has not yet been agreed with the German donors who will back it, but Norway and France are providing tempo- . rary help. For the European Commission, delegate Luis Moreno promised protection as part of the latest agreement.

Spanish ambassador Carlos de Boado said the Spanish could impose fines and could con­fine boats to port for months or a year once sufficient evidence was presented for Spanish

Toit (SC), instructed by Peter Koep, opposed the postpone­ment saying it would be preju­dicial to his client.

Magistrate Gert Retief re­fused the postponement and ordered that the case be with­drawn and that Friedrichs­meier's bail of RI 500 should be refunded. His passport must also be handC?d back.

Walters said Friedrichsmeier could still be charged and face trial if the prospective co-ac­cused, Kulm, was apprehended.

already been punished for coming home with some fish caught off the south-west Af-. rican coast, when they only had permission to fish off Argentina. To combat detec­tion, boats are starting to un­load fish in Portugal and other places. Both the Spanish pen­alties are less than the confis­cation of catches and boats in Namibian courts and fines do not seem to find their way here.

Yesterday, Foreign Affairs Minister Theo-Ben Gurirab asked assembled diplomats for their governments' help in getting the Spaniards back to Namibia for trial or their sup-

at the court yesterday expressed their disappointment at the court's decision. Some saw the withdrawal as tacit encourage­ment of racial and discrimina­tory acts. Official sources, however, pointed out that le­gally the state had no option other than to '¥ithdraw once the postponement had been refused. But residents attend­ing the hearing expressed their anger at what they saw as capitulation by the state.

After the hearing Friedrichs­meier went back to the Onduri Hotel accompanied by his laywer. When reporters vis­ited the hotel, Friedrichsmeier told them (as he had told Ulenga) that they could use the public bar as the private bar was for hotel guests only.

authorities in October last year, but had since returned. Ambassador De Boado told The Namibian he had asked for

proof so the Spanish Government could take the boats to court. Last year only a faxed list of names had been presented. Foreign Affairs Permanent Secretary Andreas Guibeb promised The Namibian that this time Namibia would supply photos, the exact positions of the boats as fixed by satellite and affidavits from the . surveillance teams and Van Den Bussche. As leader of the Euro­pean diplomats, German ambassador Harald Ganns said last night they fully support Namibia. "The European Community and its member states completely understand the Namibian point of view. We understand the embarrassment and consternation of the Namibian Foreign Minister and the Namibian people." He promised European action to support Namibia.

Cbris Harris came to Na­mibia sponsored by the British Council, to direct " The Play­boy of West Africa", which finished a three-day run at the National Theatre last weekend. " He and the N1N cast adapted the play from Irish dramatist JMSynge's famous " Playboy of the Western World", tailor­ing it for a Namibian audience and situation.

Harris, who ha:s worked with theatre companies throughout the world, was extremely impressed by ,the enthusiastic commitment of Namibia's

actors and by the strides they made during rehearsal and performance.

In addition, he was taken aback by the existing faCilities for ~ in Namibia. "I didn't expect so sophisticated a set­up," he admitted. "The theatre here is more than adequate. It needs some renovation but in many ways the stage is already set for the entrance of a power­ful national theatre group with strong Namibianidentity. "

of making it into a "living organism", he said. "And they are already doing a good job."

Like everything else that was starting from scratch, it would be a long process. Productions like "Playboy" were part of that process. , Harris already knew the play well when he came to Namibia, having acted in it three times. "We spent a week on the adap­tation, changing the dialogue

to make it easier for a non­Irish cast and giving it a Namibian character."

He said he relied heavily on the actors for advice on the 'Namibianisation' of the play. "There is so little documented although there must be a wealth of material buried somewhere. "

He felt the play translated well into a Namibian context, with several strong links be­tween the two versions.

"The first thing that struck me was that the word'sbebeen' (where the action takes place) is exactly the same here as it is in Ireland. The desolate coastal settings (the Nambibian ver­sion was set in Swakopmund) had similarities as did the iso­lated communities with their illicit drinks culture of porter! tornbo. "

LONG PROCESS

Obviously there were things which could have been im­proved on in the production, the director said. " Ittakes a lot of practice and confidence to slow down and get the story out. The audience may have had difficulty understanding some of the dialogue and that raises all sorts of questions about English as the official

It was also the responsibil­ity of audience members to engage in the effort of commu­nication, he said.

Harris was disappointed at the lack of response; on the final night the theatre was 1iJree. quarters empty. "I was really surprised by the lack of public transport in Windhoek. That means people cannot get to the theatre even if they want to. It's something that has to be addressed, not only for the sake of theatre, but for the general well-being of the city. "

But the most overwhe~g impression Harris had of his stay in Namibia was the strong motivation of the NIN cast. " They probably don' t even realise how much potential they have or the responsibility they have to exploit it. "

The 'Playboy ' project had not been an easy one, he said, but the cast had been prepared to " grasp the nettle". " They may not have managed to go all 'the way with this produc­tion but they went a fair dis­tance."

International festivals were crying out for theatre groups from African countries: "Namibian drama can really go places, both in this country andabroad."

Public Service straightened ' THE Prime Minister's office is supervising a process of rationalizing the civil service. This aims to work out exactly what posts there are and who fills them as well as to look at some of the doubling up inher­ited from the second-tier au­thorities which created a sepa­rate apartheid government for every "ethnic group".

"It is well-known that the old system was riddled with irregularities, and rot was all too visible. We inherited this corrupt, inefficient and waste­ful system," said a statement yesterday.

The article linked a single corruption case involving an official from pre-independence days with the rationalisation process in a way which "at­tempted to mislead its readers by fabricating linkages where none exis!".

The Prime Minister's office says "we are not willing to accuse everyone based on one case. Nevertheless we will continue to eliminate corrup­tion from our society."

apparently now in progress and consists of task forces who are looking at the ways ministries are structured.

1bey work to specific guide­lines on establishing how many people are employed by the civil service throughout Na­mibia and are aiso looking at ways to establish the adminis­trative steps to control the size of ministries to meet with their budgeting.

However, the Prime Minis­ter's office condemned an ar­ticle in a Windhoek daily newspaper which sugge~ed that large portions of the public service were corrupt.

The bid to rationalise and gather information on the civil service was outlined in a memorandum of May which a civil servant then leaked to the newspaper. The process is

Such steps will be vital in future attempts to cut the size of the civil service in a logical manner, something which several economic commenta. tors have stressed is vital for Namibia's economic health.

Angola to open consulate ANGOLA is planning to open a consulate in northern Namibia where thousands of Angolans stay or travel for business, reports Nampa. The idea of a consulate was discussed at a recent meeting betw~ the regional commissioner at Ondangwa Brian Simataa and Pedro Muthinde who is the commissioner for Angola's south­ernmost proviQce, Cunene.

Other joint problems being discussed are smuggling, including fuel. There are many reports that AK-47 rifles are being brought across the border and sold for a few hundred rand now that they are not needed since peace broke out in Angola.

Other trade is in timber and cattle coming south, while beer and many other goods travels north.

Nampa also reported that the two commissioners also dis­cussed 100 San-speaking people who were recently reported to have been kidnapped and taken into Angola, appluently so that they would vote for Unita when elections are held.

This was one of a series.of meetings between the two on border problems.

It was impossible to get more details yesterday from an uncommunicative Angolan embassy in Windhoek.

N ampa says that a further meeting was to be held inside Angola between the two regional authorities by today.

Our message is history will absolve you.

Noway Nampa reports that two people claiming to be South Africans travelling home, carrying UN High Com­missioner for Refugees travel documents, were turned back to Angola. . Twitch Douglas, 22, and a

child called Dennis Man:o gave their address as Pietermar­itzburg and said they were on their way home, having left in 1982. However, Douglas could not speak any South African languages, but could speak English, French and Portuguese.

Xangongo immigration au­thorities turned another per­son back to Namibia too. AlIen Segwai told Nampahe went to Angola to see the African National Congress to get a scholarship in Angola or else­where.

The Angolan authorities turned him back for not having a visa.

Allowed to pass were Pat­. rick Twala and Stephen Ma­phepha who said they were from the ANC military wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe, but had fallen out with their command­ers at Malanje and decided to run away.

They 3sked to see the UNHCR in Namibia to help them get back to South Africa, claiming there were too many ANC people working for the UNHCR in Luanda.

Simataa told Nampa he had sent them to visit the Ministry of Home Affairs in Windhoek.

The head of Ondangwa immigration office, Uusiko Nabinga, said people from We~ African countries are trying to get into Namibia to do busi­ness.

Many felt diamonds and ivory would be in abundance in Namibia.

6~Friday August 2 1991

IVE ALTHOUGH a Uoitaplane was refused landing rights in Namibia this week, one wonders whether similar 'requests' will not be made by the US in future. One also wonders whether the refusal of the Namibian Government on this occa­sion will hold firm in t he face of possible ongoing US pressure on this score. Ev­eryone knows that the US Administration is still a

staunch supporter ofSavimbi's Uoita and that Namibia is a good stopover en route to or from Angola.

AL THOUGH a peace process is underway in Angola, bringing to an end the long years of war, one hopes that the Namibian Government will not forget the past too quickly. There is undoubtedly pressure on the Govern­ment from all sides - from the opposition parties and in all likelihood the US as well- to adopt a more amenable attitude to the Uoita movement, but many would not agree. Namibia cannot affo'rd to forget which country, more than any other, supported our struggle for independ­ence. Angola. It suffered untold hardship and suffering and endless years of war to sustain Namibia's fight. On th~ other hand, we cannot forget which country, mo"re than any other, for so long obstructed Namibian inde­pendence, namely, the US. Uoita also waged a war in that country in, an attempt to prevent the MPLAfrom supporting Swap~, and, received massive aid from the US and South,Africa in the process. , One has to ask: which country is therefore more impor­tant to the Namibian Government? And if' the US wants Namibia to be a transit for its continued massive aid to that movement, what would Namibia get in return? Very likely next to nothing. Mter all, we haven't had that much from the US any­way. Neutrality vis-a-vis the peace process in Angola is one thing, but giving succour to Uoita is quite another! There is no doubt that Angolans themselves have to reconcile. But it would be something precipitous for Namibia to tacidy agree with, or turn a blind eye to, future Uoita landings. They surely don't have to do that now. The US has admitted that the matter has been raised in what they term 'confidential diplomatic discussions' with the Namibian Government. Well, we surely hope they're not too confidential for the public's right to know if such a thing has been agreed to. In addition, we cannot be sure that it is purely 'humanitarian' support from the US which would make a transit in Namibia. Apart from anything else, Namibia has strong diplo­matic ties with the Angolan Government which has representation in Windhoek. The recognition of An­gola's contribution to Namibia's independence was surely amply illustrated by making the Angolan Ambassador the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps. Unita, or the US for that matter, should have to work openly through the official diplomatic channels on such matters, and not clandestinely try and give a Uoita plane landing rights. We would like to have the categorical assurances of the Government that they are entertaining no such plans. They are those who would aSk whether anyone would even know if they agreed to do so, but it seems to me it's a risk they can hardly afford to take at this stage, either diplomatically or politiCally. Perhaps after the proposed 1992 elections, when Angola is back on its feet, the Namibian Government can do what it can to assist its task of reconstruction. But for our Government to entertain US requests for Uoita transits is-not desirable at this stage. No one country and people suffered more for Namibian independence (apart from the Namibians themselves) than Angola. No one country did less for that independence than the US. For the time being, our leaders have to remember that.

PEOPLE

"Leo, the lion, rules all the other animals. Leo the person rules you and everybody else. It's best to humour him. Then he'll purr, Instead of roaring and scaring you half to death. The lion alternates between being energeti­cally gregarious and beautifully Indolent, as he stifles a luxurious yawn. If you want to study the beast, hit all the bright, sparkling places around town". - Linda Goodman's Sun Signs.

NAMIBIAN Prime Min­ister Hage Geingob, who celebrates his 50th birth­day tomorrow, is a Leo, and a very typical one as he himself admits.

Born on August 3 1941 in the Otjiwarongo district, the Prime Minister was the first of four children born ofhis rno1her. After his mother passed away in 1952 he was brought up by his grandparents.

As so many Namibians know him as a public figure, and yet don't really know him person­ally, we felt it would be fitting onhis 50th birthday to find out what makes our Prime Minis­ter tick!

How does he feel as he ap­proaches a half cehtury? "I feel the same, although some­times I think my age is catch­ing up with me. I used to play soccer unlil two years ago, now I've no time to and I don't know if I could ... ". But he still describes himself as being "in good shape".

What's the secret of getting to 50, and still having so much energy and stamina? "The secret is not to be frustrated by the little things; show a happy face; and if you drink, do so in moderation. "

What are his vices, if he has any? "Contrary to what some people think, I'm not a play­boy. I like to party, but I like to go to sleep early too. I've a short temper but it doesn't really last. I'm really quite sensitive and shy."

What qualities does he dis­like in other people? "I hate liars. I like straightforward peqlle, who call a spade a spade. I enjoy it when people come up to me in Katutura or elsewhere and greet me with a 'hey, Hage .. ' even though some of them are drunk".

He also admits to liking nice hotels, but wherever he stays,

GWEN LISTER

he usually likes to break free and go to the townships or places where the dancing is.

And his temperament? Gre­garious and yet moody some­times.

What's his favourite food? He's actually quite a poor eater, the Prime Minister admits. He has had to change his diet because of health reasons, and because of high blood pres­sure, has stopped eating red meat, and changed to white meat which he doesn't enjoy as much. "My favourite meal is pap and sour milk with sugar".

ON THE JOB

How does he feel about his position as Prime Minister? , 'Sometimes its like impris­onment, but its also a great challenge too". The process of 'creating"Namibia' is an honour, and it gives him great pride to be one of the country's founding fathers. Seeing the constitution which he helped create; seeing the Namibian flag, gives him a great feeling. Contributing towards reconcili­ationandharmonyinNamibia, also gives him pride.

Who does he admire, who are his beroes.inhistory? When he was younger, Kwame Nk­rumah was his hero. Rajiv Ghandi was a man he greatly admired. The Prime Minister had met him personally and "liked his simple style". Another man he admires tre­mendously is " my own Presi­dent" . "He was like a father to me, and I admire his qualities of lpve and tolerance." His scholarly side admired Julius Nyerere and when in Zambia he had high regard for Presi­dent Kenneth Kaunda' s acces-

sibility. "In those days you could just walk into his office and see him." And, while not supporting her policies, or agreeing with her at all, he also admires former British Prime Minister Margaret 1hatcber for her" strong leadership" quali­ties.

GREATEST MOMENT, DISAPPOINTMENTS

What's been his greatest moment? "The independence of Namibia and my swearing­in as Prime Minister". Also contributing to the moulding of a nation and seeing progress come of it.

What is his greatest disap­pointment? Probably the slow inflow of investment into Namibia and the general eco­nomic situation. Although Geingob is quick to add he regards these as cliallenges. "Namibia is known as rich country, and I thought with good administration we could turn it into a paradise ... " but there were difficulties because of the economic situation. The other disappointment was the attitude of ' 'some of our white compatriots". He accused them of being insensitive. In par­ticular in the sports arena, it was disappointing to note that in most cases all-white teams

were sent to represent Namibia and no blacks went along, even as reserves. "We are trying to accommodate everyone," he said of the Government's atti­tude towards white Namibi­ans. But some of the white sportsmen and women did not even know the flag or the na­tional anthem.

CHALLENGES

The greatest challenge ahead? The economy. Here he felt that the attitude of the business community could improve. Foreign investors, he said, seemed to have no problem with the policies of the Gov­ernment, but the local busi­ness community did not wel­come outsiders and zealously guarded their interests.

For the future, the Prime Minister is not losing hope. "We must all unite and build the country. We must work hard., The Government must deliver the goods but we nee,d. the help of the people. Preser-, . vation of peace is vitally in;l­portant. Without peace we cannot implement our poli­cies".

Hage Geingob is optimistic that before the end of their current term of office, this could be achieved.

IN THE NEWS

-ResQlution row points

.....

to political quandry A ROW which blew up on the third day of the Afri­can Women's seminar this week raised some difficult questions about the role of women's movements in Namibia.

Argument and confusion reigned for about 10 minutes during a discussion on confer­ence resolutions, when chair­person Maria Kapere of the Department for Women' s Affairs objc:cted to the word­ing of a motion on South M­rica.

Kapere explained yesterday that a resolution expressing , 'solidarity with the women of South Africa in this difficult period" had already been tabled when an amendment from the Nanso delegate was proposed. Nanso suggested that "no civilized world can ever allow

~ a situation whereby thousands of innocent people are dying daily with out any response", adding that "we condemn all those forces responsible for the killing and call for immediate elections to take place".

Kapere, whose department operates from the Office of the President, argued that a reso­lution calling for international intervention and "immediate elections" was too political for the conference.

Several of the delegates did not take kindly to her view and a vigorous argument began.

WRONG PLATFORM

Kapere said such resolutions should be made on political platforms within the separate organisations represented at the conference.

She was opposed by mem­bers of what she termed " the more progressive groups" like Nanso and the Swapo Women's ~ouncil. Eventually, the reso­lution was toned down and passed by all the delegates

KATEBURUNG

present. Given the boundaries of her

department's brief - to focus on the social and economic upliftment of women - Kapere probably had little option but to make the stand. But as she herself admits, those bounda­ries are limiting: "Social and economic issues are political; it's virtually impossible to avoid them. "

Others are also demanding a broader-based approach from the Women's Desk. It has been accused of not getting to grips with the actual needs of Na-

mibian women and of making small progress with specific issues.

But Kapere argues that the Women's Desk cannot act as an arbitrary voice for Namib­ian women until it has suffi­ciently strong imput from organisations working on the ground.

She said the Department had got the ball rolling on mater­nity leave and maintenance, but w~s reluctant to tackle is­sues li1re traditional inheritance practices until it had a stronger mandate from the regions.

MARIA KAPERE, under-secretary of the Department of Women's Affairs in the Office of the President.

"People may say that we are sitting in WindhOek not insti­gating action, but we are con­tinually trying to sound out the regions and determine what they regard as pressing issues, ' , she said.

WEAK LEADERS

One of the biggest problems was that the various women's movements did not have strong leadership. "The leaders are maybe there but they haven't come forward. It makes it dif­ficult to prioritize the needs of Namibia ' s women when there is so little co-ordination within the groups themsleves," she said.

Another hindrance was the lack of an.umbrella body to get the groups together. After the recent failure of women's groups to unite, the Depart­ment for Women's Affairs was back to square one, said Kapere. The best option at the moment looked like being a balancing act between the two separate organisations (one loosely gathered around the DT A; one around Swapo) which have emerged since the unity talks broke down.

"Even if local groups get sorted out enough to present proposals for women's proj­ects, it's physically impossible to run them from Windhoek. It's too much for the Depart­ment to take on at this stage and it's a too urban-centered approach - there has to be strong regional organisation, " she said.

Kapere was also disappointed by the poor attendance oflocal groups at the three-day semi­nar. "1he conference went well, but it could have done with more support. All the churches were invited but only the CCN came. Several groups stayed for odd parts of the conference and some didn't come at all. "

The turning point for justice

A sizzling row between Namibia and European Commission vice president Manuel Marin only highlights a rlShing crisis that is becoming apparent the world over. Other African countries, including Nigeria, Tanzania and Mozambique, are fed up with the plunder by European rlShers and hope that Namibia will succeed in bringing a change towards fairer rlShing agreements. European rlShing policies are dominated by Spain, with help from Portugal. Many key officials includ­ing vice president Manuel Marin who covers both rlSheries and development are Spanish or appoint­ees of Marin. Spanish rlShers are already unpopu­lar for over fishing the North Sea and helping in the depletion of other northern rlShing grounds. Eurocrats seem to fail to connect that development for several countries, particularly Namibia, de­pends on being able to conserve their stocks and establish local industries. Faced with declining revenue from mines, rlShing is set to be vital for Namibia's future. Instead, the traditional Euro-deal offered is cash compensation in return for access to take as much rlSh out as possible for processing in Europe. Na­mibia is trying to break the mould, demanding a long term relationship with conservation help, moni­toring and control and that rlSh be landed and processed in Namibia aJ)d help given in building a local industry. European politicians agree that rIShing policies must change but the Eurocrats who negotiate them ref­use to budge. Reportedly, European officials have already rejected Namibia's proposals for a latest agreement and it is hoped the latest violations will force them to think again. Many African, as well as other Caribbean and Pacific countries, would sup­port a move to fairer deals which give their econo­mies more chance to benefit. At core is a fundamental issue for the developing world. Developed countries are happy to give aid of which large par ts are spent on their own experts and products. But at the same time they can insist on free access to exploit the developing world's r esources and block the growth of its industries. What they take out with one mighty hand is far more than they give with the other.

The South - far from being wiped off map COMPLETION of the high­way through Botswana to link the Transvaal and other south­ern African economic bloc countries on the east of the continent with Namibia and Botswana, is still many years away although a vivid vision of great potential. Surely north­bound roads ex-Namibia will follow too.

I am totally pleased that far­sightedness seems apparent in the thoughts expressed by various visionaries but would prefer to incorporate present realism into the exciting ideas put forward by them.

Never since travel has ' be­come the custom of the day and transport an economic life­link has the South been purely a corridor to the rest of Na­mibia. It offers too much of its own hospitable nature and thrift - as any tourist and traveller will tell you.

We must remember that the two road links through the South

to RSA, other"than Transvaal and possibly Natal, must and will remain part of the South. In similar vein, the rail link will of necessity come to be upgraded as time goes by be­cause it offers a further goods movement utility to the east of Africa after all.

Also, let us not forget that rail transport has stood the test of time, no doubt - whichever way you look at it - because it is still the most reasooable cross­couritry mode of transport.

Which sets me to thinking, shouldn't much more of all that multitudinous transport find its way to our own para statal rail transport system.

To close off on the matter of communication systems, the passages to the South - road, rail and air - will remain for a long time to come, and I base this on two visionary hypothe­ses.

One: tourists travelling over the new route through Botswana

will always want to make use of the old route through the South too to return to the RSA and elswehere.

Two: from the rest of the RSA the present route is still the more attractive and con­venient. In further reply, lets look at the economic reflec­tions touched on in your article and let me open by telling you that I was a dinner guest very recently at a reception hosted by a banking group. Imagine how I swelled with pride when a speaker there gave the fol-

lowing statistics on economic activity per region: the South at 30 per cent, Central 40 per cent and the North 15 percent.

I bear with Deputy Minister Klaus Dierks that new incen­tives are always welcome. In fact the South has always bome with all ofN amibia - what else when you count exchange eam­ings from tourism, diamond­and other mines, crayfish quotas, fishing and last but not least - Karakul pelts and mut­ton. Tallying the foregoing against the total economic

activity of our country, one dares to say that the South will flourish the more if our Gov­ernment now sees to it that our just cut of the cake is appor­tioned to our loved and eco­nomically valuable South.

Vision-wise I see the enormous tourist potential of the South, I see the continued economic importance in the opening up of Africa and I see our own harbour - there to be fully developed. Much more is to come: spin-off industries of the mines and pelt and wool processing plants and a world acclaimed flying school- Brit­ish Aero-Space.

That is still not all All South­ern towns, ranging from Mari­ental to the Orange River bor­der, offer developement po­tential from adequate water resources to excellent commu­nication systems.

On offer are First World standards - not there just for the taking - but for participa-

tive involvement giving fair rewards on the bottomline.

The solidarity of the South lies in its vast expanse, unique natural attractions and economi­cally active population. fis size lends itself to decentralisation advocated by our Government.

So much can be achieved towards food security for the entire country's inhabitants by developing the Neckertal Dam Scheme, a dam capable of three times the capacity of Hardap. Think of the ongoing work opportunities and resultant upgrading of life standards.

In conclusion I wish to say that the comments on the South contained in your article all emanated from centrally-based eminents. While we have the greatest respect for their view­points, I mu st point out that the South too has its fair share of accomplished entrepenuers capable of down-to-earth fac­tual comments and futuristic vision.

'Hometalk' from Mango. Groove star MANGO Groove lead singer Claire Johnston epitomises everything enchanting. Just like her voice which has captivated audiences around the world, this pint-sized superstar is nothing short of gorgeous.

Somehow her petite frame and gentle manner tell you little of the power-packed dynamo who has recently become a goddess on the rock stages of Europe and Japan. But then this is one hell of a lady who at the age of 23 has the world at

DONNA COLlINS

her feet and knows just exactly what to do with it.

With all the talk and excite­ment of Mango Groove ap­pearing live in Windhoek on August 10, the group's man­ager Roddy Quin and Claire flew up fora whirlwind pro­motional visit last week - and also to confirm that their con­cert is definitely ON!

Dishing out Mango Groove records and tapes plus endless autographs for enthusiastic Namibians was all in a day's

work for Claire, who handles her stardom plus everything else she does with calm com­posure.

It wasn't difficult getting acquainted with Claire. She has an open and wann nature, which makes you feel as Ihrugh you've knownherforyears. Sbe.1augbs easily, chats openly and has a wonderfully acute mind.

Unlike most stars who have shot to fame, Claire still has a humble approach to life that is almost too good to be true. She

still lives with her mother,loves watching movies, doesn't smoke, drink or do anything that would harm her career.

Don't get me wrong - there is nothing dull or wimpish about her. No w"ay. Underneath this perfectly feminine exterior lies a person who is self-disciplined, motivated and dedicated to her career and her future.

"Unlike other groups who have come and gone in a whirl­wind of ovemight fame, Mango Groove are making careful plans for their future," said Claire who has been the vivacious 'front-woman' to this highly talented ll-piece band for over five years.

"Our career is long-tenn, and we would like to think ofit that way. We work hard, and what­ever rewards we gain finan­cially, gets ploughed back into Mango Groove for the years that lie ahead.

"I must admit we had an overwhelming success in Eu­rope, especially London where we were a sell-out and played to packed audiences. France too was fantastic. We played in massive gigs, one of them an exciting concert 'Rock against racism'.

"We are now looking for­ward to returning to Namibia after having played at your independence concert last year, and feel our music is appreci­ated in your country, which is one of the main reasons for us coming back here.

MANGO Groove lead singer Claire Johnston, unspoilt by fame and looking forward to a great concert in Namibia on August 10. Photographs: Donna Collins

"One thing is for sure, our tours abroad have taught us a tremendous amount, and Namibian audiences can look forward to our concert which offers a highly polished act, with international flavour, " added Claire.

Since their last visit to Namibia, Mango Groove have rubbed shoulders with some of the top groups abroad.

Unfortunately Mango Groove are only here for one day, be­fore jetting out again. From

here they are heading back to France, London, Japan, and Hong Kong where no doubt they will take their audiences by storm again, with their nrusic born out of Africa.

According to Claire the group is still in the globe-trotting mode, which makes it difficult to channel their energies into creating new material. Their life is one hectic tour after the other, and they hardly have time to sit down.

However, she assured me that there is definitely a new album in the pipeline, but first tours, tours and more tours. But with show business, there is a time for performing and a

time for creating. , . We owe it to the audiences

to produce another album, and also for ourselves it is always refreshing to play new sounds again. But at the moment we are so caught up in our stage shows, it is important to give it all we've got, and complete one phase at a time," she ex­plained.

Hardly had Claire finished her interview, then she was reminded she had a plane to catch.

Looking as untlustered as when she arrived, she parted with a dazzling smile and the promise of a great concert on the 10th.

Israel agrees to ME peace meeting

JERUSALEM: Israel, bowing to US pressure, agreed yesterday to attend historic Middle East peace talks but attached strings which could still thwart them.

Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, who has built a repu­tation on saying "no" to talks with Israel's Arab foes, finally said yes on one condition - that the thorny issue of who repre­sents Palestinians is settled.

Shamir, under intense pres­sure from Washington and Moscow to join a conference they hope could end the 43-year conflict, stood beside a beaming US Secretary of State James Baker to make the an­nouncement.

US President George Bush and Soviet leader Mikhail Gomachev announced an Oc­tober date for the conference on Wednesday after their Moscow summit and sent Baker to goad a hitherto reluctant Israel into saying yes.

He had already convinced Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the Gulf states to

attend. Israel's decision means it

has dropped its opposition to a United Nations observer at the conference, which could be reconvened with the agreement of all participants. After a mainly ceremonial opening, it would split up into direct talks be­tween Israel and individual Arab states.

The question of who will speak for the 1,75 million Palestinians in revolt against Israeli rule in the occupied territories is the biggest ob­stacle to the talks.

Shamir has refused to nego­tiate with Palestinians holding Israeli identity cards from Arab East Jerusalem or with those directly associated with the Palestine Liberation Organisa­tiQll. As a compromise he would talk to someone born in Jerusa­lem but now living in Jordan.

Israel captured East Jerusa­lem and the West Bank from Jordan in 1967. It annexed the Arab sector of the city and dec1ared a1l Jerusalem its capi­tal, a move not recognised by the United States and most other countries.

Shamir fears allowing East Jerusalem delegates would throw into · question Israel's claim to the whole city.

Baker was due to meet Pal­estinians today. But leading nationalist Faisal al-Husseini yesterday rejected demands that East Jerusalem Arabs like himself be barred from a con­ference.

The agreementjs a signifi­cant move forward by Israel which has concluded a peace treaty with only one Arab country, Egypt. Bur Sbamir remains viscerally opposed to the heart of the US proposals, which envisage Israel handing back captured Arab land for peace, in accordance with UN resolutio~ 242 and 338.

New fighting in Croatia ZAGREB, · Yugoslavia: Rebel Croatia accused the Yugoslav army of pitch­ing 40 tanks into a raid across its border with the rival republic of Serbia yes­terday.

Three people were killed and 24 wounded when the tanks shelled a police station at Dalj on the Croatian republic's border with Semia, local offi­cials reported. They said the army intervened in support of attacks on the village by Ser­bian guerrillas opposed to Croatia 's drive for independ­ence. A member of a guerrilla hit squad was also killed.

The army's strike infuriated the · government in Zagreb, where Croatian President Fnuyo Tudjman told parliament the republic's security forces lacked the weapons to fight an all-out war.

Tudjman earlier sacked his hardline Defence Minister Sinie Djodan and proposed a national unity government to confront the threat from the guerrillas.

Mato Salinovic, police, chief of the Osijek district where Dalj is located, said local army commanders told him the tank unit "came from Serbia and we have no control over it".

Croatian authorities believe the Serbian-dominated army

is actively supporting the guer­rillas in their campaign to take over territorial strongholds of the republic's 600 ()()() strong Sem minority.

Croatian television showed pictures from Aljamas of ter­rifed villagers piling onto boats to flee the area. Others left by tractor, carrying the few pos­sessions they could.

Zagreb radio reported Yu­goslav air force jets fired on a shoe factory at Borovo Naselje near Dalj.

Some 200 people have been killed in Yugoslavia since Croatia and neighbouring Slov­enia declared independence on

, June 25. - Sapa:'Reuter.

More revelations on· way-from Weekly Mail JOHANNESBURG: The Weekly Mail will today publish proof of collusion between thelnkathaFree­dom Party and security forces, the newspaper's editor, Anton Harber, said yesterday afternoon.

Harber in a statement said his newspaper would also publish evidence of " a list of 23 incidents which provide evidence of secu­rity force-Inkatha collu­sion". He said today's edition of the Weekly Mail would contain revelations of another political organ­isation secretly funded by the government, but which was not meQtioned by de

Klerk when he made pub­lic a list of four political groups that received cov­ert State money.

The newspaper would also carry allegations by former National Intelli­gence Service agent Mar­tin DoIincheck that the NIS was closely linked to Inkatha at the time of the Zulu movement's forma­tion, and the name of a K waZulu cabinet member and senior Inkatha offi­cial who was the organisa­tiQn's policeHnk.

Harber said the Inkatha official "fronted for pay­ments from police to Uwusa (the Inkatha-affiliated

United Workers' Union of SA) and is directly impti­cated in attempts to cover up the police-Uwusa links".

The Weekly Mail was also iD possession of a de­tailed report showing that

. Uwusa was "in a complete financial mess" and arec­ommendation that the , trade union required about R1,S million to make it . viable: "We publish de­tails of the report which was sent to the Ministry of Law and order, the KwaZ­ulu cabinet and (Inkatha president) Chief (Man­gosuthu) Buthelezi , him­self," Harber said.

Mandela slams FW over

Inkathagate MEXICO CITY: State President F W de Klerk's respome to the Inkatbagate crisis was "woefully dis­appointing and gravely disturbing", according to ANC president Nelson Mandela's delegation trav­elling in Latin America.

A statement attributed to the ANC delegation and issued to Sapa from Mexico City late on Wednesday night said de Klerk's failure to take "bold corrective action" had seri­ously damaged the integrity of the negotiation process.

The delegation called on foreign governments to sup­port the ANC's demand for an interim government to over­see the period of transition in South Africa.

"These revelations prove beyond a shadow of doubt that the present regime cannot be a player and a referee at the same time."

The statement said the ANC was determined to winits free­dom and "would prefer to do so through a negotiated settle­ment". It was up to the gov­ernment to ensure that this wish prevailed.

Given the fact that the peace process and negotiations in South Africa had been endan­gered by "illegal actions" on the part of the government, the ANC had expected de Klerk to act boldly and in the interests of the entire country "rather than choose to defend illegal­ity 1hrough specious aIgUlIlents.

"The central issue in the Inkathagate scandal is not iso­lated payments to Inkatha and other government surrogates. It is the creation and promo­tion of synthetic black 'opinion and political organisations whose major purpose is to defend white minority rule, the privileges they draw therefrom and to destabilise genuine black and non-racial political organ­isations.

"The criminal act of fue de ' Klerk government is compli­cated by the fact that it has gone beyond mere funding of these organisations to aiding and abetting them, by com­mission and by omission, in their use of indiscriminate violence in pursuit . of their political objectives. These are the issues that de Klerk should have boldly addressed and acted on."

The ANC said it was' 'most disappointing" that de Klerk and is government seemed to "fail all tests" that could have , proved hat they had made a complete break with apartheid, in all its ramifications, and its methods of self -preservation.

"When de Klerk had the opportunity to legally eradi­cate all the shadowy death ' squads, particularly the CCB and Askaris, he chose to use the Harms Commission ... of Inquiry to shamelessly white­wash the death squads. ¥onths after he had announced that , the CCB and other death squads had disbanded, they were still in operation and using secret funds."

De Klerk's vilification of those calling for a judicial commission to investigate the Inkathagate disclosures dis­played "an anti-democratic streak" that still prevailed in his government, the ANC charged.
