Police seize 7 students in exam swoop

OSWALD SHIVUTE AT OSHAKA n THE Namibian Police yesterday pounCed on two exam centres in Owambo and arrested seven students for allegedly being in the illegalpossessi?n of exam papers • .

Seven private candidates -five writing at Oshakati's Iipumbu Secondary School and two at the Commissioner's office - were taken into cus­tody.

They are due to appear in the Osbakati Magistrates Court this morning.

Police swooped after reports of a widespread 'exam scam' in the North, and mounting dissatisfaction over the situ­ation among students.

a large number of students. Further, at the time of going

to· press there was no indica­tion that the person or peop1e who originally leaked the papers, and set the whole scam in motion, had been nailed or were likely to be found.

The fraud came to light after students at an Oshakati secon­dary school noticed other stu­dents passing round the exam papers.

Some invigilators also no­ticed that some candidates handed in their exam papers in "record, quick time" .

Nantu and Nanso urge top level lD.eeting over education report

More details and questions on University emerge THE Namibia National Teachers Union (Nantu) and the Namibia National Students Organisation (Nanso) have requemed meetings with the Vice­CbanceDor designate of the new university, Dr Pe.ter Katjavivi.

The two unions want to dis­cuss the Report of a Presiden­tial Commission into Higher Education.

Katjavivi is reportedly still abroad and due to retum this week.

GWEN LISTER

The Report, completed in September, was then submit­ted to Cabinet which in tum submitted it to a Cabinet sub­committee.

In the meantime, the Minis­ter of Education and the Vice Chancellor-designate set up a committee, known as the Joint Technical Committee, to evalu­ate the Report and present their recommendations-to Cabinet.

The nc dn!w up what they termed a • draft master plan' for a university. This docu-

ment too has reportedly already been presented to Cabinet.

There has already been a public outcry at the fact that the Report by the Presidential Commission, a weighty but significant document, has not been officially released for public scrutiny. Nor has it been given to interested parties such as Nnntu and Nanso.

There is a feeling both in the ranks of the two unions and the academic community as a whole, that all the documenta-

tion on the fundamentiilly important issue of higher edu­cation, should be released for discussion and debate - in keeping with accepted academic principles.

The big question is why the Report by the Presidential Commission has not been adopted and implemented in accordance with the recommen­dations and the timetable put forward since great urgency exists.

tion of career opportunities. The 'draft master plan'

envisages autonomy and a 'flexible organisational struc­ture ' without detailing the composition of Council or funding mechanisms and ap­pears to propose an ' improved status quo'.

On the other hand the Presi­dential Commission went to a great deal of trouble to give proposals for the composition of the Council and procedures of appointment and election which would safeguard auton­omy while ensuring full co­operation between Government and institutions. It also recom­mends the establishment of a national council of higher education, as a statutory body under the Ministry of Educa­tion, as well as advisory com­mittees in each of the main areas, as what has been re­ferred to as 'invaluable checks on ivory tower tendencies'.

The 'draft master plan' does not make provision for the phasing out of the Academy and changes in legislation, and 'seems to, envisage the reten­tion of present provisions with the inclusion of progressive improvements.

The Presidential Commis­sion proposes a complete change and has given much thoughtto

papers and memoranda ahead of their examinations.

However, the police only pounced at lipumbu.

One of the students arrested told The Namibian it would have been better if the police had arrested all the students in the hall- as well as at other centres like Ongwediva, :pon­hofi, the Commissioner's of­fice, Oluno and so on.

She charged that many of them had also gothold of exam papers ahead of the time.

equitable and just solutions. It provides for the repeal of the Academy Act and the promul­gation of two new acts estab­lishing the university and poly­technic respectively. It also provides a timetable for a }ilased change-over from the old dis­pensation to the new.

The 'draft master plan' is vague about teacher-training, but the Presidential Commis­sion proposes a three tier sys­tem of colleges (certificates) for primary school teachers; a college in Okahandja (diplo­mas) for junior secondary train­ing; and a faculty of education at the university (diplomas and degrees) for senior secondary etc. It also proposes a distance education college.

The Commission sees re­search as a national project into which university research activities slot in in a manner which maintains ,university autonomy and self-determina­tion. It provides for a national research council as a statutory body and university research institutes - thus accomodating both government resean:h needs and priorities and academic freedom. The Commission also goes into substantial detail (as the 'master plan' does not) on ' the access or bridging or pre­entry courses.

The mIdent said she had been given the exam memorandum by hostel students at On­gandjera, but added that she did not know where the stu­dents had got them from.

Sources also indicated that the police could have caught far more students if they had moved in earlier yesterday, and if they had also investigated other centres.

The chief director of educa­tion and culture in Owambo, John Kandombo, told The Namibian that there would be an urgent meeting in Wind­hoek today to decide whether the "whole exam" should be

'Alpine sti I going. strong'

STAFF REPORTER THE Managing Director of Alpine Caterers has denied that the company is experiencing financial difficulties. Accord­ing to Mike Kaufmann the group is going through a period of re­structuring.

Kaufmann was approached for comment following rumours that Alpine has been forced to retrench senior staff members because of financial problems caused by the recent loss of several major contracts.

According to these reports, the company had been forced to dismiss its financial man­ager, general manager and internal auditor.

In addition, it was also claimed that Alpine had dis­missed its senior dietician at the State Hospital and replaced her with a less qualified woman.

Kaufmann, however, said there had been no large scale redundancies ammg senior staff and only two senior employ­ees had been laid off recently.

declared null and void, or what further action should be taken.

An invigilator told The Namibian that while students could have got question papers in Owambo, this was not the case with the exam memoranda. These, he said, cpuld only have come from the Education of­fices in Windhoek.

Concerned residents told The Namibian that the police and Ministry of Education should be urged to treat the matter "very seriously", and follow it through to the roots by finding out who originally got hold of the papers.

A number of exam invigila-

TIlls included the financial manager, who he said had only been seconded to Nannbia from another company on a two year contract.

The dietician made redun­dant was not the one based at the State Hospital. but one based at the company ' s head office.

In both cases Kaufmaon said, the company had been forced to terminate their employment because it recently lost a great amount of business to other comp.anies.

In the past Alpine used to be the sole contractor for the supply of catering services at all Namibianhospitals. However, recently the Tender Board, in conjunction with the Ministry of Health, decided to diversify its suppliers and split the ten­der among several companies,

The only major hospital con­tracts Alpine still has on its books now are the two state hospitals in Windhoek and the Oshakati hospital.

tors said the matter was "really a shame" as the private candi­dates included respected people in the community, among them nurses, officials and commu­nity leaders.

An invigilator from an Afri­can country told The Namib­ian she found it strange that people who could not under­stand English had to write their subjects irl English.

To help these people the Ministry of Education should introduce Adult Education as soon as possible, she added.

, THE NAMIBIAN . Monday November 19" 1,99.1:.3

Hardships offisheries men ARRESTING eight Span­ish boats proved so effec­tive that from a pealt of 40 to 45 Spanish ships fishing illegally oft'Namibia a year ago, illegal fishing has declined drastically.

Now only one or two boats timidly slip across the borders to steal . fish some 10 to 12 kilometres inside Namibia' s exclusive economic zone, according to Johan van Rhyn who · supervises many of the fishing patrols.

Yesterday the men from the ministry - control fisheries Inspector van Rhyn and con­trol chief of Walvis Bay Abel 'Pine' Pienaar - were in the spotlight at the 0 'Linn fishing inquiry.

Van Rhyn is better known for descending from the sky on the end of a rope as chief hake pirate buster and told The N amibian that the Spanish are currently on holiday but can be expected back in January.

"You inspectors do your f*"'ing job and stay out of the

TOMMINNEY

people's cupboards," was the shocking warning given to one inspector on a Soviet boat as he boarded to seal the nets, related Pienaar. He said the words came in May from a Namibian civilian appointed by the ministry to monitor the same boat as it transferred its cargo in Zaire. The man, Ced­ric Muller, is organiser of the Namibia Food and Allied Workers Union.

Pienaar wondered why Muller had even been appointed as there was apparently no staff shortage in his office.

Pienaar explained the work of his inspectors who check cargoes as the ships unload. He said his office covers quo­tas and controls levy amounts. He startled the audience by saying he was also meant to cover Liideritz "which accord­ing to me is impossible" . Apparently until August this year he had no figures to work from and does not have the personnel to monitor the south-

ern port. Even at Walvis Bay, the Namibians have no juris­diction at all and fish landed at the commercial port because the fishing harbour is too shal­low are considered imports by South African customs offi­cials.

Pienaar's problems also ex­tend to his own inspectors. He slammed the men for shirking their duty, watching television or sleeping, and accepting fig­ures from the ships themselves. He said they urgently need more training as many cannot re­cognise different species of fish or even count which he said was embarrassing.

Once, he said, four inspec­tors had four different figures on the same cargo.

The inspectors' figures are between 6 and 600 tons differ­ent from those given by the companies and are invariably lower. Pienaar uses company figures not his men's to earn more revenue for the Govern­ment.

Upswing on the way says .Nam economist THE Namibian economy is slowing the speed of .its decline and may even have reached the bottom of this and be in line for a recov­ery, says economist Rainer Ritter of the Windhoek­based Institute for Man­agement and Leadership Training.

One of the key factors is a rise in the meat price which picked up by a tenth between July and the end of August even after considering infla­tion.

STAFF REPORTER

sen are out of date and un­representative. In August in­flation in South Africa fell a little, to 15,6 per cent a year.

Ritter says Namibia could see an improvement in the coming month especially if South Africa and the rest of the world meet hopes that they will recover.

The world is expected to move out of recession towards higher growth in 1992 with lower inflation.

before; only R18,4 million­worth of private building plans were passed compared to R27 million in July and the rand and the monthly average Johan­nesburg Stock Exchange in­dex fell.

According to international expert opinion in late Septem­ber, economic growth will be better in most industrialised countries, except for the world leaders Japan and Germany which will still lead most of the rest but not be as strong as 1991. More recently some gloomhas returned that the US is not as ready to recover as thought ea rlier.

Pienaar strongly denied ac­cusations that he was racist to­wards Owambo-speaking spe­cial inspectors. He answered questions by supervisor Aron Amunyela of his office who accused him of turning a blind eye to some unloading.

Most 'old guard' fisheries inspection are of mixed race and were apparently up in arms that the newly-appointed spe­cials are paid more than them. At one point, said Pienaar, 10 threateIied to resign and he only stopped them by reminding them it is hard to find jobs.

He said that several of the new inspectors, who are still on probation, got warnings from head office as a result of his quarterly reports as they often left their counts or spent time playing cards or domiooes when they are meant to be working. However, both. the cases of serious disciplinary action leading to dismissal or a final waming instigated by him were against people of mixed race, one for absence from duty and another for drinking.

SHIPPING companies notify the inspectorate when they are ready to unload so they can be monitored. Normally this is done on the quay or on Oat platform scales at the · cold storage facilities provided by Tunacor or W oker Freight Services.

Weighing is al~o done on a sUng scale using a crane, hook and cables. Van Rhyn came stron gly to the defence of the sling scale which has become so unpopular among inspec­tors that it is virtually Ulegal. THe sling scale weighs up to 5 or 6 tons at a time and is particularly useful when ships tie up next to each other in Walvis Bay for transhipping from one to another.

The inspectors find it hard to read and Pienaar tells them to . take the upper of their readings. However , the companies are reportedly happy with this plan even though they pay mor e to the Government. If sling scales were outlawed, companies would have to spend money to shift the fish into the cold storage facilities for weighing and then to transport them out again.

Van Rhyn mounted a strong defence of the sling scales. He acknowledged that electronic flat scales are easier to be accurate with, as sling scales tend to swing to and fro. However, a flat scale needs a building and refridgeration and there are far too few of them to cater for the existing number of fishing boats at times. Instead of banning the sling scales, he said, the ministry should train people in using them accurately. Prohibiting them would cause too many delays and problems for fishing boats.

The economic decline, ac­cording to an index Ritter pre­pares himself, began from the peak in June 1988 after which the economy fell by nearly 40 per cent. However, it started climbing from February this year.

Other factors he considered were 50 new companies regis­tered in Namibia in August and a slight drop in the 9O-day lending rate. On the bad news front: the prices of copper and lead dropped (he does not take diamonds and uranium into account); the number of people sleeping in private hotels and other accommodation fell slightly to 30 232 although overall for the first six I!lonths of the year the number was five per cent up on the year

Ritter's poll shows strongly ~--_------------------------------­

1be index's latest figures are for August. Ritter's index considers factors such as South Africa's inflation rate rather than Namibia's - like many others he feels the prices cho~

seasoilal s\\ ings since he started taking it in January 1987. In previous years. there has been an upswing in the first half of the year, followed by a rapid slow-down at the end of the -year, and this pattern could be repeated this year. The poll also does not take account of recently important economic factors such as fishing.

Lone rangers get lonelier NalDib NaukIuft

THE Namib desert is home to some species of interest to scientists and informed tourists alike from around the world. It is thought to be one of the oldest deserts in the world as shown by the remarkable ways animals and plants have adapted to surviving there.

The stately gemsbok or oryX are famous not only for their beauty but because they never need to drink ~ut do so only for pleasure as they can survive off moisture from the plants they eat. They are apparently the only mammal that can regulate their own body temperature. Another wonder is the welwitschia mirabilis plant which apPears to be a strange form of conifer. Recently an example of this unique plant, thought to be hundreds of years old, was reduced to ash by a vandal- hopefully a foreigner not some Namibian who could show such disrespect for the land which nurtured his or her ancestors.

The desert is in an extra dry cycle since 1980, but seeds can easily wait 10 years before they germinate when rains are good. Frogs can stay in a hole they have dug themselves for two years or more waiting for moisture - or until the incredible senses of a

. desert predator tells it to start digging for' frog-legs supper. Other desert animals are springbok, ostrich, cats, jackals,

antbears, aardvark and honey badgers. Occasionally lions make the long trip south, and there are five giraffe wandering in the area. There used to be cheetah but these have left and probably been shot. .

The park was firstproclaimed in 1907 although restrictions were not as tight as today. It expanded by buying the farms which had been given to white settlers but were proving hard to make viable, including mountain farms to provide homes for zebra, and by moving into CDM's diamond area number 2. It is the fourth largest national park in the world covering 4,9 million hectares,

Discussions are afoot over expanding it still further inlo other "forbidden areas" now stripped of diamonds until it could go right to the southern border and become the world's biggest park.

A few hundred people cohabit in the desert with the 12 Nature Conservation staff at Gllnab research station. The Topnaars are able to survive the har~h conditions by herding goats, cattle and horses mainly along riverbeds chiefly in the giant snake of the Kuiseb canyon.

Apart from these, there is no-one but the occasional tourist. According to chief conservation officer Achim Lennsen: " The main draw for tourists is the solitude. If you camp here you are onyourown. .

The Namib has a colour palette which is unsurpassed by any inland area or any area which has a lot of vegetation. ' ,

TOMMINNEV

DO YOU fancy a job pa­trolling the wilds, work­ing with and preserving Namibia's natural heritage of animals and landscape and boosting the tourist industry? It sounds nice, until you look at the pay.

According to officials of the Ministry of Wildlife, Conser­vation and Tourism, a ranger who has matriculated and wodes in remote areas for weeks on end will earn a princely R600 a month. Not surprisingly the applicants' waiting list is as empty as some of Namibia' s desert appears to be.

The unique landscape, in­cluding the desert park known as the Namib Naukluft, is one ofits best hopes for foreign ex­change earnings in future.

Rangers are vital to protect­ing the nation's centuries-old heritage. They have to watch over the animals and the rest of the environment, keeping track of changes and protecting it where necessary. In particular they have to prevent people driving off the roads into the desert as vehicle tracks are proving very destructive of the fragile ecology.

They must also prevent lit­tering, maintain fences, con­trol irresponsible tourists, stop poachers and keep up other activities.

Recently low salaries for na­ture conservationists was the subject of controversy in South Africa, as it was felt the pay scales did not reflect the dedi­cation, skill and experience needed for such a vital job. Instead they exploited the fact that people would love nature and conservation. Now South

African pay rates have seen large rises, but Namibia does not seem ready to follow suit in c~ging the system it in-herited. .

On top of this is the inher­ited rigidity of ministry struc­tures. Someone wlK> has worla:d as a labourer for many years, often on even lower salaries of R300 a m onth or so, may have wide experience and skill They will have no chance of moving upwards without going to sec­ondary school to get at least Standard vm.

In the past, according to chief nature conservation officer for the region Achim Lennsen, many of the applicants for rangers were young South Africans and other wanderers, wanting a few years' African adventure in the great wild spaces. Now that miniStry jobs are Namibianised, they cannot be employed any more but there is a drought of Namibian ap­plicants.

But there are young Namibi­ans who love their country and want two or preferably three years to learn about 'the great vastness outside and the envi­ronment, as well as a chance to learn more about the huge potentialities inside themselves.

. For these being a ranger is still an unparalleled chance which could never be repeated later in life with family and career worries.

Women are particularly welcome as there have been only one or two so far.

Who knows, with nothing to spend your R600 on out in the desert, you may even' save a

. little ready to return either to Windhoek' s ' concretejungle' or to the farm or other life.

AIDS and year 2000 KEETMANSHOOP: A one-week AIDS couriselling workshop organised by the Ministry of Health's National Aids Control Programme was opened here by Regional Commissioner Mina Shanjengange yes-terday. . Addressing nurses from the region, Shanjengange said the aim of the workshop was to give training in AIDS counselling. A total of1321 cases and 52 deaths had been reported in Namibia so far, she said. The first cases were diagnosed in 1986. Shanjengange said the spread of the disease had been rapid and that AIDS now threatened the achievement of the noble goal of 'Health for all Namibians by the year 2 000' . - Nampa

THE NAMIBIAN

Wide angles, sharp focus Ferguson's SoLo offers new 190k at changing times

KAlE BURLING LISTENING to Jennifer Ferguson talk about the im­pressions shaping her new show SoLo, which opened at the NTN last night, provided more than a little insight into questions facing present-day Namibia.

Well-known as a singer­songwriter-poet with plenty to say on the political plight of South Africa, Ferguson must face frequent accusations of being artisically bound by the " borders of her native land.

Since the announcement of her five-night run in Wind­hoek, fans and ne,wcomers to the 30-year-old artist's work, have been wondering how ~le­vant her words and music will be to the Namibian situation.

But one of her key themes seems to have come straight out of the piles ofletters which land every week on the edi­tor's desk at The Namibian: "Reconciliation is important, but not with amnesia. You have to turn over and examine all the stones along the road you've travelled otherwise its hard to find the right direction for the future. There are no short cuts to understanding your history. If you try to do that - to negate the past in one jolly handshake - confusion, and anger, is bound to follow."

She's often asked, she says, why she is still protesting. "People say 'It's all over now, protest is a thing of the past', but protest is not something which disappears overnight, it can become vital criticism of any situation."

Overview At the same time, she sees

herself standing back a little from the intense political in­volvement of yesterday.

Ferguson was taken with the wide view of Windhoek af­forded by the house on the hill where she's staying for the week: "It's good to see the whole picture sometimes, rather than concentrating on close­ups. I suppose I'm a little more detatched than I used to be."

Ferguson admitted that she once viewed her songs as a matter oflife and death. "Per-

Kine300 Eros Shopping Centre

forming during a state of emergency was pressure cooker art, now there's more space to think, to respond with wisdom. "

Thatwasilottodeny sponta- " neity, though, as her reaction to the political manouevering afoot in South Africa showed. "I'm angry with the politicians," she said with a dismissive wave. "Maybe that's why I'm steer­ing clear for a while. "

Directed by Ferguson's long­time work-mate and friend Christo Leach, SoLo divides into two halves. The first is a retrospective collection of old songs from the last 12 years. "They're aboot the shaded parts of South Africa's landscape -Dickie Baby, Bay of Bombay, Sweet Freedom, Slow Motion - about 'being alive in South Africa at that time. "

The second half consists of songs written during the past year, the time when she be­came mother to 'Ralphie', now seven-months-old and the singer's central focus.

"It's the lighter side of the show, the uplifting side." There are songs about the return of

. South African exiles, about the author Bessie Head, but above all, says Ferguson, "it cele­bratesa child being born".

"They are all love songs. Ralphie is me child born ammg millions, but there has to be room to celebrate. Having a child must be one of the most humble acts of hope. You have to have hope if you have a child, otherwise you do dam­age."

Ways of seeing

She described mothemood as "a blessing of a most unex­pected kind" . Children were a great leveller, another way of seeing things in perspective and avoiding the "conceptual cul-de-sacs" of neatly wrapped answers.

CELEBRATION AND PROTEST M' Jennifer Ferguson: appearing at the NTN every night this week.

Ralphie had helped her understand better the shifting ~tureofrealityinpresent-day South Africa, she said. "You can only speak: honestly of your own vulnerability in your own shifting world," she said, but it was some guard against a blink­ered tramping down ill-thought­out cul-de-sacs.

If cynics are ready to view Ferguson's 'new phase' as the result of a total absorption in motherhood, her conversation suggests otherwise. She hopes SoLo goes some way towards demystifying the political process in South Africa. "It acts as an expose of the con­tamination that follows power­mongering. There's a point at which the political game en­ters the arena of farce and becomes absurd. "

South Africa had reached a stage where freedom was no longer a slogan, she said. "It's a sobering process and in some ways the only response can be

'C'est la vie'. There's only so much people can take of a history of pain, after that it almost needs to become a giant laugh; it' s"the only way to deal with it."

Finding a way to laugh through tears, to admit vul­nerabilities, to celebrate anew life, to enjoy its growth and face up to its problems, while developing an ever-sharpen­ing focus on past experience and future direction ... SoLo promises as much to say about Namibia, as about South Af­rica, or caring for a child.

Fergusonhopes the mix is a successful one, but in the end invites people to "come and listen to the music' , .

"It's provoking, it makes you think, but mainly it's a jour­ney. Close your eyes and enjoy it, " she says.

Crayfish and gems I THINK it is time that we should speak out against the misconception of the <Jovern­ment in handling 1he crayfish and fishing quotas.

How is it possible that the Government can allocate such small quotas to the factories? If the Government had allo­cated bigger quotas they knew that it would be impossible for the factories to retrench work­ers _ now the situation seems bleak and retrCnchment of fish­ermen and factory workers seems inevitable.

I personally think that the small quotas will not solve the problem - Ih<:re are too many major issues which, in my personal opinion, affect the catching of crayfish.

First of all the diamond sea. divers have a major effect on the catching of crayfuh It seems logical that the sucking of diamonds from the seabottom affects the crayfish in their natural habitat, they even suck up small crayfish with the sIIalg sucking motion of the pipes (we can take as an example Port Nolloth where the cray­fish catches were good before the arrival of the diamond divers. Nowadays one can hardly catch crayfish there).

Secondly, the fishing traps that are used break off in the rough sea and some of them get stuck on the rocky bottom of the sea. The fishermen do nothing to retrieve them .and the factories care even less. Theypileupinthe water, cray­fish get stuck in them and are unable to get out again and die, otherwise the strong undercur­rents turn the traps around and this also affects the habitat of the crayfish.

1be Government can at least try and make a roll call as to how many fishing traps each boat uses during the season, and how many are brought back at the end of the season in an attempt to establish how many get lost in the ocean.

I cannot accept the fact that low oxygen in the water and cold water are the reason for poor crayfish catches. Maybe they have ammor effect. But if so, they would have affected our catches in the past.

The Govemihent must stop the sea diamond exploration immediately. Why do we have to suffer the consequences so that foreigners can live in lux­ury?

Debate loses track

I AM overwhelmed at the cur­rent debate taking place in our new Namibia. This is certainly a reflection of a new culture being moulded, a culture of debate which was unknown during the occupation of our country by racistSouthAfrica.

Similarly, I am beginning to wonder whether. we are mak­ing proper use of the fre~dom of speech granted and guaran­teed to us by the constitution. I have in mind the ongoing debate on Nanso's decision to disaf-

filiate from Swapo. Initially the debate was in­

teresting and worthwhile but of late it seems to have lost track and no longer makes Sense and I am beginning to fear the final outcome. It might result in a situation that neither side anticipated.

The most worrisome aspect of this debate is the ugly face it seems to have created between the Swapo leadership and some individuals within Nanso. I would really hate to see these two sides eilgaging in what I may call 'toy-toy political debate'.

I therefore have some ad­vice for both sides:

Swapo - as a bona fide member of this organisation I would like to call on the lead­ership to refrain from involv­ing itself in this issue unle.ss called upon to mediate and not with the intention of changing theNanso decision. Let me put it bluntly: the fact remains that Swapo existed before Nanso was ever dreamt of, therefore I

. see no cause for alarm and above all, most Nanso mem­bers are a reservoir of the movement.

Another fact the movement has to take into account is the present political stream in the country. 1be movement should avoid rushing into making public statements that may eventually have adverse effects. At least Swapo is a mature organisation, hence it should not allow itself to be dragged into squabbles of another con­stituency. I believe the move­ment has more serious matters at hand than to get distracted by debates that may result in unnecessary misunderstand­ings. Many of us would appre­ciate it if the movement · fo­cuses its attention on the forth­coming Swapo congress. I hope the preparatory committee is encouraging Swapo members to thoroughly look at the or­ganisation's successes and failures in order to chart a new programme of action. A strong and principled Swapo is what many of us expect to see after the December congress.

At this juncture I would like to suggest that the Congress, formally establish a '1biIik tank research unit' within the party (if it does not exist at the moment) wherein the party policies would be properly studied, sharpened and well­articulated in order to meet those daily challenges in po­litical and socio-economic ~heres both for inside and outside the country.

Let Nanso's constituency solve its own problems in its own way. What we want is a strong Swapo right into the 21st century.

Nanso: I want to make it clear that I respect democratic decisions taken at whatever level. ,

Nevertb:less I fuel that maybe not enouih groundwork wl!-s done before the Congress de­cision. What is irritating are the accusations and counter­accusations wbichhavc become COllllruXl practice among Nanso members. It is not my inten­tion to judge who is wrong and

who is right, but my concern is simply the manner in which the Nanso leadership tries to resolve the issue publicly. I am afraid to say it was ba&y handled from the start.

But siJx:e a decision was taken at congress, I believe it is final and non-negotiable.

The Nanso leadership should instead, as a matter of urgency , start to tackle some of the objectives Congress set itself rather than write volumes of articles which seem to inflame and widen the gap among its own membership.

So my appeal to Nanso is: let the Congress decision be supreme and get down to your programme of action adopted by Congress. Debates are al­ways healthy and I fully appre­ciate the trend taken up by our people on many matters of national importance, but if 1hey lose track, then I am afraid it leads to total chaos - a situ­ation our new nation can ill­afford.

San survival

THERE was a TV documen­tary on November 1 on East Bushmanland which brought out strongly the issue of their survival. During the Land Conference the point was made that groups which run the risk of being marginalised and dis­advantaged by society should have special protection from the state imd affirmative ac­tion should be taken in their · favour.

It should be clear from the TV documentary that some­thing should be done for the San people so that they will not lose the small amount of land they still have. In this connec­tion one cannot understand why· the Ministry of Resettlement and Rehabilitation wanted to resettle the Botswana Hereros there. Instead of resettling them on farms which are owned by foreigners; the San people, because !hey ~ weak, are going to lose their land.

1be commercial farmers who own more than 60 per cent of the country are not challenged . by the Government because they are powerful although they represent less than 20 per cent of the population. What kind of justice is this?

The other problem I see is that Bushmanland East has been incorporated into the Water­berg region according to the proposals of the· Delimitation Commission.

This propo~al does not con­sider the bad consequences it may have on the San people. If Bu~Eastbecomes part of the Waterberg region the San people are bound to be pushed out and become margi­nalised.

This should not be allowed. I appeal to the President that the San people should not lose the small amount of land they have. This is possible only if Busbmanland East remains part of the Kavango region.

If we are serious about the equality of allN amibians, then

affitffiative action should be put into practice.

. Bad broadcasts An open letter to

NBe Director General

I WOULD like to complain about the bad quality oftelevi­sion reception in Luderitz. I personally feel that the videos they use to record the program­mes are of bad quality other­wise they use the same cas­settes each time they record ourprogamems. The picture is of poor quality and twisted. Sometimes the sound is · very poor and at other times you receive no sound orno picture.

Despite the fact that we re­ceive the programmes a week late, we still have to view these poor quality films.

This brings us to the televi­sion fee of R96. Although we receive our transmission a week late, we are not allowed to pay a week later. Most of us view­ers had to pay a penalty of R19,65 as from November 1 and I don't agree with that.

r think the NBC should con­sider the position of Luderitz and make use of a satellite transmission, so 1hat we will be able to reCeive at the same time as the rest of the country, otherwise the <Jovernment should grant M-Net the right to screen films on their chan­nel.

As a resident of Luderitz I . would like the NBC to do something about our situation. Television should be a right and not a privilege.

Fishy problems ·

I WOULD like to inform read­ers, and especially the Minis­try of Sea Fisheries, about the problems we as special fisher­ies inspectors are facing. We are sent by' the Ministry to work at sea but it seems that once there, we are forgotten.

In the first place we have to look for our own transport from Windhoek to Walvis Bay. In Windhoek they tell us that we are expected in watvls Bay but when we arrive some of us wait a week or more befo{e assuming our duties. And we have no accommodation for ourselves while we are wait­ing.

1bey have caravans and open rooms where · they can acco­modate us but they do not take into account our families. Though there are some offi­cials who understand the prob­lem they can't do anything about it unless they get instructions from Windhoek.

Some of us have small places which ~ already overcrowded with friends and family mem­bers.

Also there is a problem that one has to finish a mi~sion before getting paid. .

I have been working here for two months now and up to this time have not received a sal­ary. We did not expect such things to happen· in an inde­Pendent Namibia.

I understand that we are ap­pointed on a temporary basis bu since our services are re­quired we must be given the t ~st facilities in which to per­, orm our jobs.

Waite and Sutherland freed DAMASCUS: Britishhostage Terry Waite and American hostage Thomas Sutherland, freed in Lebanon by their Moslem fundamentalist kid­nappers yesterday afternoon, have reached Damascus, an official source said.

Preparations were under way for them to be handed over to their countries' ambassadors at the Syrian Foreign Ministry at 2000 GMT, the source said.

A British air force plane with a medical team and Waite's brother on board was on its way to Syria from Cyprus.

Sutherland, 60, anacadeniic at the American University of Beirut, had spent 2 353 days in

BELGRADE: The Yugo­slav army has achieved one of its main war aims in Croatia by capturing the besieged town of Vukovar and iilflicting defeat on the rebel republic' s elite fight­ers. Some diplomats believe Croatia's setback in Vukovar after losing a third of its territory to Serbian­led army and Serbian guer­rillas could hasten the end of more than four months of fighting. But despite signs of a tilt in favour of negotiations. they say there is only mixed evidence of an imminent diplomatic breakthrough. Although Serbia, like Croatia, is being sapped politically and economi­cally at an alarming rate by the war, the army still has strategic targets left. The 13th ceasefire of the war, which went into force on Saturday, has reduced the scale of fighting in many parts of Croatia. The army has been quick to pin re­sponsibility for all viola­tions on Croatia. In Vukovar, where Croatian national guards, outnum­bered and out gunned, de­fied a siege for 86 days, the army won a face-sav­ing victory and demon­strated its ability to over­whelm Croatian forces wherever they make a stand. While attention was fixed this weekend on the final hours of the battle for Vukovar, federal troops also wrested control of Slunj, an important town 130 km south of Zagreb. They continue to threaten Karlovac and Sisak which are even closer to the Croatian capital and Osijek in eastern Croatia. - Reu­ters

captivity, more than any other hostage except Americanjour­nalist Terry Anderson.

Waite, 52, a ChurchofEng­land envoy seized in 1987 while on a mission to release previ­ous victims of the kidnap groups, had spent 1 763 days as a hos­tage.

It was the first double re­lease in one day since Islamic Jihad called in UN Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuel­lar in August to end the seven­year-old hostage saga.

Islamic Jihad set free Brit­ish journalist John McCarthy with a letter for Perez de Cuel­lar, who has sent envoy Gian­domenico Picco to the Middle

East several'times to negotiate a complex deal involving the Westerners, Arab prismers held by Israel and Israeli service­men missing in Lebanon.

Three Westerners - Ameri­cans Edward Tracy and Jesse Turner and Briton Jack Mann -have since come out of cap­itivity.

Israel has released 66 pris­oners, mostly Lebanese Shi'ites, in exchange for the remains of one servicemen and hard news on the fate of two others.

Up to six Westerners - three Americans, two Germans and an Italian - remain missing in Lebanon assurned kidnapped.

Lebanese security sources

have said the Italian, Alberto Molinari, was killed shortly after he was seized.

The pro-Iranian Islamic Jihad (Holy War) announced the breakthrough yesterday in a statement sent to an interna­tional news agency with a photograph of 'J:erry Ander­son, chief Middle East corre­spondent of the American news agency the Associated Press, kidnapped in March 1985.

Waite, -whose kidnapping was never formally claimed by Islamic Jihad, was considered one of the most valuable hos­tages and had been widely expected to be among the last freed. - Reuters

Somalia's interim president deposed NAIROBI: Unconfirmed re­ports reaching the Kenyan capital yesterday said Somalia's interim President All Mahdi Mohamed had been oveItbrown following heavy weekend fight­ing.

The reports - quoting infor-. mal diplomatic sources and aid workers in Mogadishu - said troops loyal to General Mo­hamed Farah Aideed now controlled 95 per cent of the ,city.

"All Mabdi has been crushed, Aideed's men have won the battle, " a representative of a humanitarian aid organlsation told Reuters in Nairobi after speaking by satellite telephone to fellow aid workers in Moga­dishu.- All telexes and tele­phones to the SOIrlali capital have been cut since Saturday evening when the latest round

of ethnic fighting began. For months, Aideed has been

themainrivalofintrimSomali president Mahdi Mohamed in the United Somali Congress (USC), which has controlled Mogaidshu since former presi­dent MohamedSiad Bane was overthrown in January.

Conflict between the two men has mounted since a new in­terim government was sworn inearly last month, bringing in representatives of many other armed guerrilla groups.

Italy's ambassador to Sa- ' malia, MariQ Sica, told Reu­ters in Nairobi that 18 staff from his embassy in Moga­dishu had been freed unhurt after Somali troops loyal to Aideed seized them.

Earlier reports spoke of 20 staff, but Sica said he and one other were on a routine visit to

"

neighbouring Kenya. Sica declined to comment

on reports that Aideed was now in control of the city.

But other Western diplomatic sources said sections of All Mahdi's forces had deserted to Aideed and the former USC military commander was now in full control of the city.

"The whereabouts of All Mahdi are not known," one source said.

Reports reaching Nairobi on Sunday said annoured cars and troops in full combat gear stak.OO out government buildings, the airport and the radio station in Somalia' s capital in an appar­ent show of strength against Aideed's forces.

More than 1 000 civilians were killed in battles in Sep­tember between the rival USC groups. - Reuters

Mo· aide a' rlDle sus ec , ·n sensat·ona

KISUMU, Kenya: A Brit­ish detective who investi­gated the murder 20 months ago of Kenyan foreign minister Robert Ouko said on Monday a close aide of President Daniel arap Moi, Indus­try Minister Nicholas Biwott, was a.' 'prime sus­pect". John Troon, giving evidence at a judicial inquiry in the western town of Kisumu, also repeated that he suspected Heze<kiah Oyugi, internal se­curity chief at the time of Ouko's death.

"I cannot rule out either of these two gentlemen or elimi­nate them from the murder of Ouko, ' , Troon said.

, 'They are my principal sus­pects, " said Troon, who has already told the inquiry he believes Ouko was murdered

because of his opposition to corruption among government colleagues.

Biwott, a close aide of Moi who was transferred from the Energy Ministry to the Indus­try section three weeks ago, has been alleged along with several other ministers to have demanded lmge kickbacks from a foreign firm seeking a con­tract in Kenya.

Biwott is currently in Eu­rope. He left Kenya on a busi­ness trip last Friday but gov­emment officials denied he had fled.

Moi called in British police to investigate Ouko's murder after an initial Kenyan police report suggesting that the for­mer minister killed himself sparked anti-government riots and charges of an official cover­up. Troon told the inquiry, in its 239th day, that he had not found Ouko' s killers, adding

er case that further inquiry would be needed to find evidence against his two suspects.

Concluding his evidence to the inquiry, he said:

"There are other inquiries to be done and suspects are there -who I am convinced either know or have been involved with the death of Ouko.

"There may well be others involved on the periphery, certainly with knowledge, but those two gentlemen (Biwott and Oyugi) are my principal suspects. "

Troon added that Jonah Anguka, a district commissioner in central Nakuru district and closely associated to bothMoi and Biwott, "may have some involvement or some knowl­edge". Last week Troon said Oyugi's movements during the week Ouko disappeared were not explained satisfactorily. -Reuters

wows ANDREW PERRIN

Xerographics Informa­tion Systems last week presented its line of elec­tronic equipment for the next year. At the Windhoek Coun­try Club, Namibia's busi­ness and public service .elite gathered to witness an impressive display of copiers, fax machines, computers, and other mis­cellaneous electronic gadgetry. Partirularlyon show were Xerographics' new line of Toshiba laptop com­puters. The top-of-the-line model features an extremely fast processor and high-qual­ity colour display - all on battery power. Xerographics' spokesper­sons said the company was experiencing rapid growth and had opened a new branch in Tsumeb in anticipation of eco­nomic recovery "in the first half of the 1992 year".

THE NAMIBIAN -

Farm. sales slum.p FARM · sales have been dropping even though large numbers of farms are on the market, according to the Land and Agricultural Bank of Namibia.

Further, more fanners are falling behind on repayments to the bank with total of R 7,2 million of interest and capital unpaid on March 31 1991, double that of the year before. The bank was forced to sell three fanns . belonging to its customers.

For these symptoms of cri­sis, the parastatal bank blames continuous drought in some parts of the country as well as falling prices for meat, wool and karalrul and other pelts as well as rising interest rates and the fact that the bankhad given larger loans. The information comes in the bank' s annual report for the year to March 31 this year, which has only just been released.

The bank says the drought

Economic union call PORT WUIS: South African President FW de Klerk has called for an economic union of southern African and Indian Ocean states.

" It is necessary !hat 1h: coun­tries of this region co-operate more closely in the future and a new economic block of south­ern African and Indian Ocean states will come into being," he said at the end of a 24-hour stop-over in Mauritius on Sunday. Although the two countries have some trade links, Mauritius has ruled out diplo­matic ties with Pretoria until apartheid has been completely dismantled. - Reuters

ECONOMICS REPORTER

became critical especially in the south and west. But there is also good news: "Namibian agriculturalists expect that climatological conditions will imp~ve further in the 90s .. " Sales to· Europe are also ex­pected to boost farming.

The year began badly for the bank's customers on April 1 1990, with the interest rates offered by the bank biked from 14 per cent to 18 per cent for medium-term loans. Loans to new fanners rose to 18 from 12 per cent and bridging loans from 16 to 20 per cent.

Co-operatives and other farming institutions were still paying 20,7 per cent on their cash loans. The bank offers depositors 17,2 per cent for money which they can with­draw immediately.

The Land Bank, with R133 million in its reserve and capi­tal funds, is one of the parastal organisations which is under

review by a commission made up of several ministries. It was typical of the systems origi­nally set up to subsidise white commercial fanners to settle on Namibian farmland. It may eventually become an agricul­tural development bank or finance body more suited to making loans to fanners all over the country. This could include comnnmal fanners who cannot normally get mortgage bonds as they are not allowed to fence or own land in those areas.

There were far fewer appli­cations for loans in the year 1991/2 - only 79 applications for a total of R17,9m com­pared to 292 for R81,4 million the year before. The bank granted less than half of the money applied for - a smaller proportion than at any time in previous years -lending a total of R8,6m to 60 people, com­pared to R43m the year before.

This meant spending on land and improvements was less than a fifth of the 1989/90 level.

The bank says it received fewer applications because of temporary restrictions, which it did not detail, and because of the higher interest rates. Sperul­ing on land, improvements and stock by the bank' s customers all dropped sharply.

On March 31, the bankhad a total of R156,5m out in loans to farmers (R159m the year before), and some R20,lm (RI7m) out to other debtors which it does not specify. It had some R47,4m (33,6m) of cash deposited with it and a bank overdraft o f · R9m (R29,5m). Total income in the 1990/91 year was R27,7m (R22,2m the year before) of which R27,5m comes from interest (R22,lm). It transferred R9,7m to its reserve fund which stood at R78,8m on March 31 (R7,2m transferred to a fund ofR69m). Its capital fund stayed the same. with R54,3m.

TOKYO - Stocks closed sharply lower wih index-linked selling battering the market following Friday's plunge on Wall Street Investors were also worried about prospects for domes­tic recovery.

The Nikkei average fell 699.06 points or 2.90 per cent to 23,400.12, with about 200 million shares traded.

SYDNEY - Share values dropped s.i.arply but closed off early lows as investors refrained from large-scale selling after Friday's plunge on Wall Street.

The All Ordinaries index tmished down 30.4 points or 1:81 per cent at 1,646.5.

HONG KONG - Shares closed sharply lower on Wall Street's 12O-point plunge on Friday, but bargain hunting helped the market recover from even heavier early declines. The blue-chip Hang Seng index fell73.13 points or 1.7 per cent to 4 ,198.21.

SINGAPORE - Stocks plunged but closed off the day's lows on cautious late bargain-hunting. The Straits Times Industrial index ended 44.26 points lower at 1,420.17.

BOMBAY - Share prices ended mixed, undermined by higher carry-forward charges for business done in the three weeks ending Friday and rumours the government may de­value the rupee. The Bombay Stock Exchange index fell 8.37 points to 1,871.32.

• FRANKFURT - Shares ended with only limited losses after

Wall Street's slide. Small buying by private investors and re­strained selling by professionals helped prices stabilise. The 30-share DAX index finished 17.44 points lower at 1,611.93.

• John Kachamila said yesterday. PARIS - The Bank of France's suprise hike in key interest

rates added fuel to a sell-off triggered by Friday's decline on Wall Street, driving share prices to their lowest close in three months. The CAC-40 index ended down 54.93 points or 2.95 per centto 1,808.27 on hefty volume of about 3.8 billion francs.

LONDON - Shares closed down sharply in reaction to Wall Street's 120-point fall on Friday.

A stable perfomiance by the New York market yesterday and stronger futures trading helped avert a bigger decline. The Fmancial Times-Stock Exchange index closed 43.7 points lower at 2,S02.9.

NEW YORK - Blue chips struggled to firmer ground at midday but investors shaky from Friday's 120-point selloff continued to shun the broad market

The Dow Jones industrial average was up more than 11 points at 2,954.61 at 12.0S p.m. (170S GMT).

"Mozambique is very inter­ested in exporting natural gas and we look for the main mai­ket in South Africa, " he told Reuters in an interview.

Industry sources said South Africa wanted Mozambican gas as feed stock for fertiliser production.

Kachamila said the govern­ment hoped to start production of natural gas next year for local use, supplying a small power station at Vilanculos, about 12S km (77 miles) south of the msbore gas field at Panle on the southem coast.

No oil had been discovered in the country so far, he said.

Earlier, Kachamila told a Southern Africa metals and steel conference that drilling in the Pande area had confinned natural gas reserves of 40 bil­lion cubic metres (1.4 trillion cubic feet). The gas was dry with 95 per cent methane and free of sulphur, he said. .

Drillig had stopped around the 1,500-metre (5,OOO-foot) level where reserve appraisal had been carried out but the gas potential could be much greater as deeper wells were drilled.

Pande, originally discovered by Gulf Oil in 1961, is one of the world's biggest gas fields.

Kachamila told Reuters five wells drilled last year and this year had all struck gas.

"We are now going to con­centrate on surrounding struo­tures," he said.

TIle minister said three wells had been drilled at the Temane field near Pande, of which one had produced wet gas.

Inhis address to the confer­ence, he said that based on this well, reserve estimates of two billion cubic metres (70 bil­lion cubic feet) had been made for Terrnane. Another seismic survey covering an area of 300-350 square km was needed before further drilling.

One of two wells drilled in the Buzi area just south of the port of Beira in 1967 had pro­duced dry gas of 97 per cent methane. Further geological work: had to be carried out there, the minister said.

Oil exploration so far has concentrated in northern Mozambique's Rovuma river basin bordering Tanzania by oil companies ESSO and Shell, and offshore in the XaiXai area: of southem Mozambique by BP.

"No oil has yet been found in Mozambique but ... there are some 'oil shows' which give a cause for hope that further geological exploration and drilling work might prove the existence of oil," Kachamila told the conference. - Reuter.

THE NAMIBIAN Monday November 19 1991 11

. K wessie nie die geld nie maar die bron -Gurirab DIE kwessie is nie of politieke part ye geld van ander bronne verkry het Die maar dat die geld verkry is van 'n wrede en kortsigtige koloDiale moondheid het die Min­ister van Buitelaridse Sake, Theo-Ben Gurirab gister in die parlement gese. •

Gurirllb het in 'n skeq; anal­ise van die geheime fondse wat van Suid-Afrika ontvang is gese hy is van mening dat geheime fond se aan politieke part ye vir die bevordering van die oogmerke van 'n vreemde moondheid nie net die karakter van die gemeenskap aantas nie maar ook die demokrasie bedreig.

Gurirab se die ontkennings deur politieke partye dat hulle geld van Suid-Afrika verkry

het, het skielik verdwynna Pik Botha bekend gemaak het dat hy wel geld aan politieke par­tye gegee het en ook die doel waarvQor openbaar het. Die ontkenning vooraf dui daarop . dat daar 'n geheime aggenda was, se Gurirab.

Politici is verantwoordelik vir hul dade en die gemeenskap het die reg om te weet wat gebeur het. Dit is vir politici belangrik om die ideale van eerlikheid, integriteit, geloo-

fwaardigheid en toerekenbaar­heid na te streef.

Gurirab het in verwysing na Moses Katjiongua van die Na­tional Patriotic Front gese dit is moeilik om te verstaan dat 'n politieke leier kan opstaan en se hy het bloedgeld ontvang en voor te gee daar is niks verkeerd daarmee nie.

Dit is vir horn, wat Gurirab is, dieselfde as om te se ek het geen beginsels of morele waardes nie. Daar bestaan geen vertroue in die opposisie­lede i.ri. die nasionale vergader­ing nie enhy wonder of private besprekings tussen ministers en opposisielede nie moontlik in die hande van vreemde

moondhede lean beland nie. Hy wou weet hoe hy lean uitvind of dit Die meer gebeur nie en wa1ter

. vertroue het hy dat persone wat in die verlede dit gedoen het dit nie weer sal d6en nie.

Gurirab het die stap deur Katjiongua om sy geboortereg aan Suid-Afrika oor te teken beskryf as 'n daad van 'n poli­tieke bedrieer.

Dit is ook baie moeilik om te verstaan of lede van die parle­ment waarvan veIWag word om die belange vanhierdie land te dien wel dit doen indien hulle op die betaalstaat van 'n vreemde land is. Die waame­mende president van die DT A, Mishake Muyongo, het ook

---------------------------------., onder skoot gekom vir 'n

Nujoma ontvang tjek vir kongres DIE President van Swapo, Sam NuJoma, het glster In die Swapo-hoofkwar­tier ongeveer R118 650 van die politburo van Swapo ontvang. Die geld Is aan hom oorhandlg deur Hage Gelngob, Eerste Minister en lid van die pOlitburo. Die geld Is 'n vrywllllge bydrae van le de van die party vir die komende partykongres. Beslgheldspersoonllkhede wat die party slmpatlekgeslnd Is het 'n addlslonele R17 5000 aan die party beloof. Moses GaroAb, Hoofk06rdlneerder van Swapo, het die perskonferensle behartlg terwyl verskele senior lede van die party soos Festus Naholo, Ellen Muslalela; Kandldlma Nehova, Gertrud Kandanga, Pashukenl Shoombe en Eunlce Iplnge teenwoordlg was.

verklaring wat hy vroeer aan die VlSe-PIesident van die VSA oorhandig het. In die verklar­ing bet Muyongo die aantyging gemaak dat demokrasie in die land in gevaar is. Gurirab se Muyongo het van die gasvrybeid van die Staatspresident mis­bruik gemaak en 'n verleen­theid vir sy gas gesbp.

Daar bestaan geen wet wat die regerende party verplig om lede van die opposisie na amptelike funksies te nooi nie ,­maar dit word slegs gedoen as gevolg van die beskaafdheid van die regering. Hulle moet egter nie die gasvryheid as

vanselfsprekend beskou en misbruik nie. .

Die pers is nie uitgelaat nie toe hy se baie van die dinge wat in die koerante verskyn kan nie beskryf word as joer­nalistiek nie.

Hy het koerante beskuldig van 'n poging om 'n politieke

skandaal te verberg en niks daaroor te skryf nie.

Koerante kan meehelp om demokrasie in die land veilig te hou maar onpartydigheid van die pers verval wanneer 'n koerant die rol van 'n politieke party aanneem, het Gurirl!b gese.

Theo-Beri van Buitelandse Sake, wou gister van die opposisiepartye wat"geheime fondse ontvang het weet ofhulle betroubaar is en Die inligting na vreemde lande versprei nie.

GeheiDle geld ·hoogtepunt van bedrieglikheid

Hidipo Hamutenya, Minister van Inligting en Uitsaaiwese, het gister die pogings van politieke part ye wat geld van Suid-Afrika ontvang en hulselfprobeer voorhou het as eerlik en opreg as die hoogtepunt van bedrieglikheid beskryf.

Man ontsnap 910 vir kos ' n MAN is gister in die On­dangwa magistraatshof gevangenisstraf van negen­tig dae opgele mi hy vroeer . vanjaar uit wettige aanhoud­ing ontsnap het. Die man, Weenda Nikodemus,'het on­skuldig gepleit en aangevoer dat hy verplig was om te ontsnap na hy vir drie dae geen kos in die tronk gekry het nie. Nikodemus is aan-

vanklik op 12 September in hegtenis geneem op 'n klag van aanranding,met"die doel om' ernstig te beseer ru1 hy na bewering 'n vroullke vriendin aangerand het. Hy het op die nag van 15 September vanaf die ·Okahao gevangenis ontsnap. die volgende dag is hy weer gearresteer terwylhy by sy buunnan se huis le en slaap het.

IN plaas van om hul bedrog te erken probeer die leiers van die NPF en die DTA om die aandag weg te lei met aantygings dat die regering Die in staat is om die land te r egeer nie. Hulle wil die indruk probeer skep dat dit normaal en aanvaarbaar is om in die geheim geld te

te doen gehad het nie. Die UDF het in 'n baie be­

langrike tydperk in die lewe gekom en was gedwing om fondse soos van die Namib

Stigting te aanvaar om aan die verlciesing te lean deelneem maar het geen ooreenkoms on­derteken waarinhulle trou aan Suid-Afrika sweer nie.

ontvang van die koloDiale regime terwyl hulle hulself frrnirnirnirnirnirnirnirnirrrnrrrnrrrnrrrnrrrnmmmmmmmn voordoen asof hulle vir die onafhanklikheid van die land geveg het.

Hidipo Hamutenya, Minis­ter van Inligting en Uitsaaiwese, het tydens sy bydrae in die debat oor geheime geld vanaf Suid-Afrika die optrede van die partye as die hoogtepunt van bedrieglikheid beskryf Die part ye het hulself voorgehou as ware bevryders van die land terwyl hulIe in die geheim vuil geld van Pretoria ontvang het.

Hierdie bedrog, se Ha­mutenya, het sy mees blatante en skandalige vonn aangeneem in die ondertekening van die anti-Swapo verdrag of die sweer van trou aan die voonnalige koloniale mag.

Dit was ook skandalig vir die agbare le de Dirk Mudge en Jannie de Wet om aandie par­lement te probeer vertel dat

. die onpartydigheid van Suid­Afrika tydens die verkiesing nie 'n voorwaarde van Reso­lusie 435 was nie.

Mudge en De Wet"sing al vir die afgelope tienjaar dieselfde gesangetjie oor onpartydigheid maar vind dit deesdae gerietlik om daarvan te vergeet, se Hamutenya.

Mishake Muyongo van die DT A probeer ook om die aandag weg te trek van geheime fondse deur uitlatings te maak dat die regering oneffektief is dat daar baantjies vir boeties in die staatsdiens gemaak word en dat werkloosheid en misdaad

handuit geruk het. Baie van die korrupsie waar­

van Muyongo en andere praat is geerf van die vorige DTA regering en wordnou eers deur die nuwe regering reggestel. Baie van die persone wat hul besig hou met hierdie korrup­sie is ook geerfvan die DT A en die meeste van hulle is nog ondersteuners van die party.

Daarkanookgeen waarheid steek in die beWGring dat plek gemaak word vir familielede in die staatsdiens nie omdat slegs ongeveer 800 van 'n staatsdiens met 62 851 deur Swapo aangestel is.

"'Die Adjunk-Minister van Verdediging, Phillemon Mal­ima, het bygevoeg dat die par­tye 'n openbare verskroing moet aanleiam en daama die versem­ing moet gee dat hulle nooit weer in die toekoms van ge­beime fondse gebruik sal maak nie.

Malima het ook sy bewon­dering uitgespreek vir lede soos Barney Bwes en Jan de Wet wat erken het dat huHe ge­heime fondse gebruik het.

"'Justus Garoeb" United Democratic Front, het ontken . dat hy enige dokument on­derteken het waarin hy trou aan Suid-Afrika sweer. Hy het ·ookniks te doen gehad met die Namib Stigting waarmee die Republikeinse Party en die DT A

AITSA! Interatlantic Blue,Waters acrobatic goalkeeper showing why he was a star in Saturday's exciting Windhoek Lager NF A Cup played at the Independence Stadium against TCL Chief Santos. The sides drew 4·all.

Player of the Match award. Puli, yes that tall central

defender of the Nomtsoub outfit, proved ' he can step into the national team at given time.

The cucumber calm player is superb in the air, a fantastic controller of the ball as well as an excellent passer. The open­ing goal for Santos came after his cross deep inside the Birds goalmouth with the second also coming from his excellent move from the back.

Captain Lucky Kakuva,

StephenAuckumeb, Annstrong Muller and Mazeellus Witbecn (in goals) also put up an excel­lent display for Santos whilst David 'Chicken' Kasaona, Hosea Tjombonde, Michael 'Bosch' Narib and goalkeeper Leonard Shidute also turned a five star performance for the title-chasing coastal giants.

SA athletics make progress

• SOUTH African athletics leaders- made' 'con­siderable progress" in eight hours of talks in Cape Town on Sunday, but have yet to achieve the unity needed before they can compete in the Bazeelona Olympics next year.

Delegates of the three main bodies forming the S outh African Amateur Athletics Forum, re­mained confident, however, that they would meet the January deadline for unity, and though it could well be achieved by their next meeting in mid-December.

"I think we have identified the main prob­lems, and have referred them to sub-committees to work on, " said judge Deon van Zyl, n-x:cntly elected president of the South African Amateur Athletics Union. "Hopefully we can achieve our goal by December 15, and certainly before the end of January."

Young Ones seize Black Africa .

sw A Toyota Young Ones ended their season on a • 'high note" by defeating former holders Nashua Black Africa 3-1 in their tie for the third and fourth place which acted as the main-cur­tain raiser for the WindhoekLager NFA Cup final. The match. that saw Black Africa fielding some of their pabt stars like coach Rusten Mogane and his assisstant Seth Orlando Boois was a totally boring affair and did nothing to cheerthe small crowd that attended Saturday's final be­tween Blue Waters and Chief Santos.

The two teams, especially Black Africa, was also critizised by observers including officials from the Namibia Football Association for field­ing a depleted team on such an occasion.

One official, who prefers to stay anonymous, , said he was personally disappointed by Black Africa's attitude. "I had lots of respect for Black Africa and they are a real great team but they should live by example," he said.

Local darts players in marathon

TEN local darts players will take part in an annual 12 hour non-stop darts marathon sched­uled for 24 November, at the Pigeon Hall in Wmdhoek, said the Namibian Darts Union (NOU) spokesperson NOIeen Walters.

She said that the aim of the marathon is to improve' last year records which reached 270

263 points in the men's section and 318 893 points in the women's section. The men's sec- , tion will be represented by six players, while oruy four players will feature in the women's section. Walters said that they intend sending the records set in the event to their Zone VI counteIparts to set up a challenge in Windhoek.

The women's team consist of A verI Therd, Olivia Richards, Nedra Nel and Ans van Heer­den, while the men's team is made up ofMannie Gradid je, Etienne Tewater, Willie Sowden, Piet Bergh, Christo Scholtz and Christo Dorfling.

Saunders out for three matches

WELSH striker Dean Saunders received a three-­match suspension for violent conduct.

Saunders was sent off in the 50th minute of Welsh's Group 5 Eurropean Championship qualifying tie against Germany on October 16 for a bad tackle on mid fielder Thomas Doll. Germany won the tie 4-1.

UEFA also fined Spanish side Osasuna 32 500 dollars after missiles thrown by their fans hit a linesman during the UEFA Cup tie against VFB Stuttgart of Germany on October 22 .

Bulgaria'S CSKA Sofia received a 16 250 dollar fine for the poor organisation of their UEFA Cup game against Hamburg on Novem­ber 6. Roma were fined 6 500 dollars. UEFA said the Italian club's supporters let off fire­works during the European Cup Winners' Cup , tie against Finland's IivesTampere, also onNe­vember.

a ruling would be left to the panel. Reynolds, the 1988 Olympic silver medalist, was suspended from international competition for two years by the federation, the world governing body for track and field, for allegedly testing positive for a banned substance at a 1990 meet in Monte Carlo.

The Athletics Congress, the US governing body for the sport, voted to lift the ban in October, saying there was no iron-clad proof of the charge against Reynolds. But the IAAF dis­agreed. " We assume, as before, that the TAC decision was not right," Gyulai said. "

If Reynolds remains banned, he would be ineligible for the 1992 Summer Olympics. Meanwhile, the IAAF formally reinstated Lat­via, Lithuania and Estonia as official members.

The decision allows the Baltic states to com­pete individually in the Bazeelona Games after 41 years of general representation under the Soviet Union. - Sapa-AP.

SATURDAY'S Windhoek Lager NFA Cup ti~a1 be~ tween Interatlantic Blue Waters and TCL thief Santos will go down in the history 'of Namibian football as the most thrilliDg, exciting and dramatic rmal.

An,dironically it will also be remembered as one of the most poorly attended cup matches.

Only a few people went to the Independence Stadium on Saturday to see two of the country ' s most talentful teams

battle it in an excellent match in which the two giants netted an amazing four goals apiece.

The match, attended by President Sam Nuyoma and some cabinet members includ­ing Prime Minister Hage Ge-

~ ingob, lived up -to its high expecations and only needed a much bIgger ,crowd to crown the occasion.

The Match Commissioner Hendrick Ouistian, who is also the vice-president of the NFA, could not hide his disappoint~ ment i1t the small crowd saying that if he had bad theopportu- . nity he would have switched the replay match to another neutral centre.

" I am very disappointed in today's crowd," Christian said.

"Such a big occasion, espe­cially the presence of our Head of State, should have brought out the fans in biggernumbers. It is very strange but the city fans must support teams from outside Windhoek. •

., Soccer is our favourite sport and a final is not only a final when a club from the city is playing. But I must congratu­late Blue Waters and Chief Santos for their five star dis­play that made the occasion a very special one, " the Premier League chairperson concluded.

But not even the absence of bigger crowd could deter the two giants, ' especialy Chief Santos who, at 1-3 down at a certain stage ' of the exciting tie, displayed gritty determi­nation and stormed back to tie the match 4-4.

And what beautiful goals they were.

To single out one is difficult but my favourity was the fan­tastic half volley from Gerva­tius ' Gerros' Witbeen, which he took on the right flank when a few centimetres inside the

. Blue Waters penalty area and blasted it into the far left cor­ner past a ' hapless Leonard Shidute.

With his remarkable play on Saturday, Gerros not only put his team in with an equal chance of winning the cup in Satur­day's replay, but his shooting skills and fighting spirit make him a certainty for the national team.

And as the NBC Sports Reporter, and Premier League official Sebastian Kamungu put it "I knew that Gerros was an excellent shooter but I'didn't know he was such an incred­ible worker. Everyone else i s exhausted but the youngster keeps on coming and coming ...

Gerros' counterpart Striker Muaine, also proved to the crowd that he is one classy scorer with his two excellent goals for Blue Waters.

And Muaine' s striking part­ner young Karassa Mupupa sent a warning to the two hottest strikers in the country (Gerros an~ Striker) that he ha~ a hold on the number nine jersey of the national team. He is gifted with excellent vision and his two goals were absolute mas­terpieces.

Another'youngster made an impact in the final tie an4 in Christantus Subeb, Santos have found a gifted midfielder who is improving very quickly. His two goals came fromhis gift of being at the right . spot at the right time,

The two most experienced players in the teams-on the day. Koko Muatunga (Blue Waters) and Puli Subeb (Chief Santos) were also in great form and have both proved their playing days are far from over.

Whilst Koko turned on the magic for the Birds from midfield, a performance which saw him giving tW<HIasy scor­ing chances to Muaine and Mupupa, he was one of the strongest condidates for the
