THE decision by the Ministry of Health and Social Services to evict 35 disabled people from four houses it owns in Windhoek West has drawn widespread criticism from the general public.
The Namibian and several other newspapers reported on Friday that at the request of the Health Ministry the Ministry of Works sent a letter to the Association for the Handicapped on: January 9 ordering them to vacate the houses.
The Association had used the houses to establish the Florence Nightingale Centre for severely handicapped people.
Some patients at the centre are believed to be so seriously disabled that they need constan! care and cannot be looked after at borne.
The houses were rented out to the Association on a 10 year lease granted by the former Administration for Whites.
The government's apparent justification for the evictions is that the White Administra-

REPORTS that South Africa may propose joint ~~nistration of Walvis!lal when bilateral dis
cussici'iiSabout the enc ave start soon, were last night met with scepticism by Namibia's Foreign Mfairs Minister, Theo-Ben Gurirab.
He referred reporters to the constitution which declares unequivocally that Walvis Bay is part and parcel of Namibia.
Reports last week indicated that the South African Gov-
- ernme was prepared to discuss the use rather than status of the disputed enclave, when meetings on the issue start soon.
A report in a South African Afrikaans weekly suggested that a 'Hong Kong type an:angement' may be proposed by the South Africans.
The Afrikaans weekly quoted South African Foreign Affairs Minister Pik Botha as saying there was no possibility that
his Government would 'give' Walvis Bay to Namibia in the near future.
Botha added that 'informal surveys' among white residents (less than half the population of the enclave) suggested that they were not in favour of Namibian rule. ,
He added that an agreement between himself ' and his Namibian counterp~, TheoBen Gurirab, specified that neither of them would discuss the issue.
'This is Rossing's Frankenstein'
Approached fur comment last night, Gurirab confirmed that the two Foreign Ministries were 'in consultation' over a timetable for negotiations on the Walvis Bay issue.
"It sounds utterly str~ge to me that while we are busy with

AN UNEASY cloud of suspicion is starting to gather over Arandis where recent cut-backs by mining giant Rossing Uranium have been raising dust in the previously settled community.
Though Rossing predicts good long-term prospects for the company, workers fear for their immediate future and suspect they are not being given the full story.
Yesterday the toWn was busier than usual. Weekend work has stopped and even men on stand-by duty no longer have to report to the mine. Overtime is a thing of the past and shifts are due to be cut from four to
three inApril. Most men know someone whose job;::ith the town's community development project has just disappeared and many are afraid theirs may be next.
Though Rossing saw the community cut-backs as the most painless way of saving money, saying the women were not full company employees, Arandis residents see it differ-ently. ,
"Some of those women have been working on the projects for years. They put in far more time, effort and commitment than they were paid for. To dismiss them as 'wives' who Rossing paid to keep busy is missing the point," said one resident.
Many workers were confused

by developments and feIt they were being deliberately kept in the dark/
"So m~y things make no sense to us," said one man. "They've tigbtenld up on things like telephone calls and printing paper. Now they've stopped what they call non-vital communitywork. Yet they 're busy appointing a whole lot of assistant superintendents wm will all get brand new Jettas. "
According to several Arandis residents, Rossing's costcutting exercise was aimed directly at the people least able to afford it. Workers on the lowest pay scales earn R771 before tax and were dependent on overtime. Now they are being asked to pay comnnmity workers to care for their pre-school
children, for their teenagers' out-of-school activities, and for their wives to learn craft skills.
Rossing say it is time Arandis residents became more selfreliant; that the ,"ompany simply cannot afford to pay for such services anymore.
One worker agreed that Arandis had been spoilt in the past. "But it wasn't out of purely humanitarian concern on Rossing's part. They got a lot of mileage ~ut of the community projects here and got themselves known as a 'caring company'. 'lbey can't now tum round and rewrite the rules because it suits them. "
For better or worse, he said, Rossing had a moral resppnsi-

Women to benefit from'taxchanges
WOMEN can expect to hear good tax news in the next few months. This was hinted at by Finance Minister Dr Otto Herrigel on Friday. •
He told The Namibian part of moves to reform taxes would be changes in current discrimination against women, particularly married women. .
"Less discrimination against women is close to the heart of SW APO and the Government," he explained, "and we should come up with proposals in the next few months".
According to taxpayers, married women pay twice as much tax as married men, irrespective of their salaries. This could even be a financial argument against marriage for a couple where the woman is on a higher salary.
Herrigel had been asked by TO PAGE 3

Gurirab was sceptical about the report (of a proposed joint administration of the port) and said he did not believe that South Africa had proposed a plan.
In the meantime, Namibian observers suggest that if South Africa is to propose a joint administration of the port, then a number of difficulties will arise.
These include citizenship, taxation, police force arid the courts.
It is doubtful whether Namibia would agree to such a plan, but on the other hand, it

Namibia could tighten controls on access to the port and cut off electricity and water supplies, but could not unilaterally decide the :sovereignity issue.
It is likely, if South Africa does table the plan as expected, that they will state' that it is merely an interim arrangement, and that the actual status of Walvis Bay will be discussed at a later stage.
The Namibian tried to reach Pik Botha for comment on the matter late last night, but was told that he was unavailable due to the attempted coup in the Ciskei (see story, page 7).

Finance Minister Dr Otto Herrigel said last week in a glowing press briefing: "If the high success rate of exploration in the Kaokoveld is anything to go by, we may be sitting on a fortune".
Rand Mines of South Africa has established by drilling that there are 20 million tons of lead zinc and silver in other rocks near Sesfontein in northwestern Namibia. The grade is said to be 10 per cent, which is considered to be very rich, and, Herrigel added, "it is highly likely that the true ore body is much bigger".
Granite and marble deposits in Namibia could lead to a local indsutry worth R200 million - R400m a year. Namibian deposits are world class iri colour and quality, with the white and palissandro types of IlUIIble found near Karibib said to be unique for purity ..
Herrigel forecast that Namibia could develop marble and granite working into a "traditional Namibian industry based on skilled labour" . Working IlUIIble adds four times to the value of the raw mate-
TOM MINNEY
rial. Diamond giant COM, which
had a bad year last year but hopes to hit targets of 1 million carats with the new Elizabeth Bay and Auchas mines, now says it has established large and "interesting" diamond deposits. However, the technology must still be developed before these can be exploited and the COM operation in Namibia is expected to wind down in 10 years unless new technology is developed through De Beers Marine (Pty).
Many other promising discoveries have been made, added Herrigel.
North of Opuwo a substantial ore body has been found ccmtaining copper, lead and zinc ~ 'in a very favourable geological environment' ' .
A possible gold mine has been found in the Kaokoveld, as well as three projects looking into deep gold seams near Karibib, close to the successful Navachab gold mitie.
Graphite, used for high temperature lubrication in
tion acted in bad faith by granting the lease only 10 days before independence.
This excuse has, however, received little sympathy from the vast majority of the public.
The Namibianhas received a constant stream of telephone calls from people expressing outrage at the Health Ministry ' s attitude.
Late on Friday afternooon the Public Service Union of Namibia added its voice to the outcry over the evictions.
Ina statement issued-by PSUN chairpersonCRBalie, the union said it strongly-condemned the move.
The union said while it acknowledged that a crucial hous~ shortage existed, particularly in Windhoek, the Ministry of Health especially, should have realised the plight of the handicapped.
PSUN suggested the Ministry should have demonstrated its social responsibility by finding an alternate solution to its staff accommodation shortage.
"Caring for the handicapped people in Namibia is difficult enough as it is with very little help from the government, whose responsibility it should ultimately be to care for its people, the union said.
The Public Service Union favourably noted that the deadline for vacating the houses had been extended to the end of April.
Nevertheless, the union strongly urged Minister of Works Richard Kapelwa and Minister of Health Dr Nicky Iyambo to demonstrate the governments good will by not evicting' 'handicapped fellow N amibians ' '.
The union further called on the two Ministers 'to supply alternative solutions to their housing probletps.
industrial processes, has also been discovered near Otjiwarongo and near Spitzkopje.
Rounding up the new mining announcements is the news that "rare earth met'als" have been discovered along with titanium at Okurusu where one of the world's largest fluorspar deposits is found This is making several international mining companies show interest.
Turning promising discoveries into productive mines can take at least 10 years, and depends on the economic viability of the mine. Although the Sesfontein deposits were known about before, for instance, it is only the Government's offer to install roads and other infrastructure in the area that is convincing the mining companies to show keen interest.
Herrigel said fishing is set to grow in value - more than 10 times - over the next 10years and will contribute some 30 per cent c;>f growth to the economy as measured by "gross domestic product". He explained that Namibia ' s coast is one of the best in the world for fish production. Fish revenue is set to rise from R220m for fishing and processing to R2 365m by the year 2 000.
Catches and production could grow from an estimated 288 500 tons this year to 1 233 000 tons.
Building Nanubi~ industries is likely to be slower than other parts of economic development, wamed Herrigel. How~ver, the Government is committed to encouraging industrial investors and likely fields include fish processing, cement factories, base metal smelting, tanning, meat processing and engineering as well as industries for export. More will be known later this year.
He also said: "Namibia is ideally located to become a r.tajor centre for trade for our neighbours" . Work is set to start on two major roads this year, he promised. A trans'Caprivi highway linking Namibian roads to Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe, and a trans~Kalahari road linking Gobabis to Botswana andJohannesburg are to be finalised at this week's SADCC confer-
NO-ONE was above the law and it was up to the courts to decide the innocence or guilt of members of the Presidential Guard accused of attempted murder. This opinion was expressed by Justice Minister Ngarikutuke Tjiriange, on the NBC TV 'Spotlight' programme last night.
ON THE BOX
The panel discussion was chaired by Yusuf · Hassan, flanked on one side by the Minister of Justice and ' Swapo's Deputy Information Officer, Kandi Nehova; and en the other by the rrr A Justice Shadow Minister, Fanuel Kozonguizi and NBC News Controller, Joe Putz.
Last Sunday night the 'Sp<tlight' programme dealt rather clumsily with the controversial issue of the President's
. Guard, and widespread criti-cism was received about its one-sided nature.
Last night's 'Spotlight', following on the heels of an NBC acknowledgement that the earlier programme was not in accordance with the
Corporation's policy code, was an attempt to redress the balance. Obviously, NBC staffhave to get used to debates - the camerapersonhad problems in locating the speaker at any given: time and wide angle shots of the entire panel, did not facilitate good viewing.
Yusuf Hassan acquitted himself quit~ well as the chairperson, but allowed speakers to talk for long periods, instead of cutting them short, and livening up the debate.
The Justice Minister said there were two perceptions about the Presidential Guard: firstly, those people who were unable to change, and they included racists; and secondly, the majority of the people who wanted their President to be protected. He lllmself did not condone violation of the laws, and it was up to the courts of law to decide whether the
shootings by the Guard were lawful or not. "
Kozonguizi said there were three issues at stake: the security of the President; the be- . haviour of his Guards; and the safety of the person in the street.
While he acknowledged there were ' deranged characters ' in the country, there was no threat to the President from the majority ofNanubians, Kozonguizi. said.
Nehova said Swapo leaders, and in particular the President, had been targets of assassina-
. tion in the past, and there was reason ~o believe there were more enemies now than before. If the President was assassinated, it would spell disaster for Namibia, he added. He also said there should be 'no compromise ' when the life . of thi; President was at stake.
Kozonguizi said he had no problem with the principle of
ence. Namibia could evenjoin the
oil-producing countries . "Indications are positive" on the Kudu offshore gas field, said Herrigel. "There appears to be a real .chance of finding oil, or at least so-called wet gas, which can be processed into liquid fuels."
At the moment mining is experiencing "harder times" admitted Herrigel. In particular Rossing Mine is facing productien cuts due to low world prices for uranium and the effect of sanctions against South Africa's occupation ofNanubia in cancelling several long term contracts. Herrigel said it would take two years for new contracts and for the mine "to get back on track. (But) The mine will continue to play animportant role for a long time to come."
In the years before independence many mining companies did not do much investment or . prospecting and the economy had stagnated. 1be north-western area was largely untouched because of the war. Last week's announcement represents the fruits of renewed interest during the transitioriaJ. period and since independence an dshow great promise for the years ahead.
Herrigel's announcement comes just over a we~k before a major investment conference in Namibia. .
In the short term the government does face several difficulties. Herrigel admltted last week that Government cash reserves had dropped from R360m to R200m, and one Windhoek newspaper has suggested that the budget shortfall could be as much as R270m this year.
The Finance Ministry has been instructed by Cabinet to make special efforts to recover as much of the money pledged at a international donors ' conference as possible. Much of the " direct budgetary aid" promised is turning out to be related to projects which are taking time to implement and monitor, while some pledges are turning out to be slower to come through than donors

protecting the President, but merely the manner in which it was done.
Perhaps because an attack on the NBCs earlier 'Spotlight' was foreseen, News Controller, Joe Putz, was on the panel. The subject however, may not have been introduced if it were not for the chairperson who did so.
Putz spoke out in favour of debate on such issues, categorically denied that there was Government interference which resulted in the NBC ' apology ' about the programme, but admitted that for technical reason~, the necessary balance was not present in the Sp~tlight in question.
Kozonguizi said the fac t that such controversial issues were publicly discussed was a good thing.
And so say all ofus! More debates on NBC on controversial and current affairs, Qut a little more practised and lively next time round, please.

THE- NAMIBIAN Monday January 28-1991 3-.,
Namibian dollar coming NAMIBIA'S owncwre:ncywill be called the Namibian dollar, and will be introduced in about two years' time.
Finance Minister Dr Otto Herrigel said the Government will make sure that one local dollar is equal to one South African rand at least for an initial period, cutting worries about currency decline.
Designing the notes and coins and producing them will take some 18-months, he said at a press conference on Friday. The smaller coin will be the cent, ' and it is likely that the design on the notes will include an eagle on' one side.
An independent currency for Namibia is necessary for the Central Bank to be able to control monetary policy and money supply, as laid down by the Constitution.
Herrigel called the move , 'one more step on the road to
, monetary independence". , Exact procedures for issu
ing the money, exchange rates and policies governing how easily people will be able to change Namibian dollars for rand and other currency will be worked out nearer the time. "Two years fromnow the world may look entirely different," he explained.
"There will be no hasty steps, no quick decisions," he assured the press.
The currency would initililly be kept equal to the rand and Namibia would stay in the Rand Monetary Area. "There is no alternative to that other than destruction, " explained Herrigel.
However, ,how. long this would continue would depend ,on the stren~th of the rand. If the rand had good international standing there would be "tremendous advantages" including international acceptability in keeping it equal to the rand. If the rand was even weaker than at present and the South African 'economy " in more trouble, Namibia's currency could be delinked in stages including staying in the rand zone but moving the exchange rate.
The Government might choose to keep the Namibian dollar steady against more international currencies such as the Deutschmark, US dollar and yen.
Altboughmany ofNanubia's imports come from South Africa ,and are paid for in rand, ex~ ports are often earne~ in more international currencies.
Only if Namibia leaves the Rand money area and cuts links with the rarid will the Government and the bank get full control of the monetary pol:icy. However, strict discipline will then be needed which will make sure that Namibia does not follow other crunlries ~h have high inflation aruiaimost worthless currencies.
The public had sent in 396 suggestions for the name of the currency incuding Ktidu, Nam, Namib, Kuta, Onyati (buffalo) and Kuta (sa~isfaction) for the bigger coin and Katiti, Pit, Tickey and Pennsy for the smaller.
The Cabinet had ~hosen the final name, realising that this could seriously affect people's confidence in the new currency. They eventually decided on the basis of shortness, ease , of pronounciation, international and local acceptability and ease of recognition.
Having an own currency is
vital for the Bank of Namibia to be able to control interest rates and money supply, to lend money to other banks and to build up the country's foreign exchange reserves. '
Currency is also vital for a Central Bank to earn income. CwrtmtlyNamihlahasto~ the profit of using the rand with South Africa. Tliis agreement is still being worked out and will mean that South Africa will pay Namibia a small percentage of the estimated R300 'million being used here.
For stability, Namibia will need enough foreign exchange reserves to cover some three months' imports, currently estimated at R250 million a month. Already Namibia has signed an agreement with South Africa allowing the country to start building reserves. However, Botswana found when it introduced its own currency, 'the pula, that many citizens were confident enough to
change to the new money and reserves grew even faster than expected, making the pula a strong currency.
Customs officers on the borders with South Africa and Botswana are monitoring movements of goods in and out of the country. Over the next two years this will provide key information about Namibia's balance ofpayments, or whether it imports more than it exports.
The Namibian Government also has to set up a number of financial cootrols including laws on foreign exchange, pensions and other bodies.
Herrigel promised that the Government's role would "not be regulatory but to encourage". Business confidence will be vital. There is also a need for investors to put their money in Namibia, but for this Government stocks and even a domestic stock exchange may need to be created.
pnrV£NT AIDS
HARARE: The Gulfwar will cast a long shadow over talks between southern Mrican states dependent on imported oil and aid donors in Namibia this week to review regional economic cooperation.
According to a Sapa news report, a 'senior official of the Southem African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC) said they will definitely be appealing for more foreign assistance to cushion the SADCC countries from rising fuel costs.
, 'The Gulf crisis has already set us off some of our economic targets and if the war continues for a long time it may cripple our economies irreparably," he added.
Ministers of Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Lesotho, Tanzania, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe will meet Westem donors at a week-long
ammal consultative conference in Windhoek which begins today.·
Only one of SADCC's 10 members - Angola - produces and exports oil, while the rest rely heavily on imported fuel.
While Angola's neighbours have suffered badly from shatp oil price rises since Iraq invaded Kuwait last August, rising petrol prises have jeopardised emergency airlifts of food to millions of starving people in remote areas of Mozambique - the worst-off of all.
Poverty-stricken Zambia lost its supply of Kuwaiti oil at the concessional price of 14,50 dollars a barrel after the Iraqi invasion. It is now having to ,
buy on the open market, in hard cwren::y and at least double the price. The Nanubia SADCC consultative conference is also expected to look closely at training local people to run developement projects established with foreign help in the 1980s.
The organisatiw says it rx:eds nine million dollars urgently to train accountants, engineers, economists and scientists.
, , A critical mass of skills is essential for the benefits of SADCC's investments in infrastructure and productive activities to be fully realised," says a SADCC document on human resources'prepared for the conference.
Enter the condom! Promotion workshop brings condoms out of closet
A DAY -LONG conference on condom promotion did wonders fur the nonnally staid fuw1h floor of the Health Ministry on Friday.
Posters displaying various stages of sexual encounter, tables strewn with packets of condoms, an inflated condom bobbing balloon-like round the room, and a flip chart illustration of Rough Rider and company made it possible for anyone to say condom without the slightest hint of a blush.
social worlcers had already heani an opening address from Director of Primary Health Care Dr Rodien Kraus who said the number of Aids cases/HIV infectioninNanubianow stands at 734 with 48 deaths.
This, he said, was only the "tip of the actual number" and represented a rapid progression of infection since the first Aids cases were dia.gnosed in 1986.
Later in the day the workshop listened to one of Namibia's biggest condom suppliersGert Vogel describe his battle to get the product accepted in this country. During last year he met obstacle after obstacle while ~rying to pro-. mote the life-saving condom. At times he stood, amazed at blind hypocrisy posing as moral outrage.

Memories of the Uis mine closure shock were clearly in workers' minds and there was many complaints of management secrecy.
With a pay deal still umesolved and disquiet over 'medical separation' (by which empolyeees -deemed medically unfit by the company are 'retired ') many workers view Rossing's 'hard times ahead' warning as a political strategy.

around for a long time," said one. "There have been many broken promises -new playing fields, tarred roads, and now the community projects. Whether they ' admit it or not, retrenchment will come. "
Back in Wmdhoek,Rossing's Barry Clements said retrenchment would be the final resort. "When we decided on the cutbacks we explained at length that the mOIiey saved was being redirected into educational projects like the post-school training centre and the Namibian Institute of Technology. We had to malre decisions about how to use our available mwey. We had no choice," he .said.

has doubled since work began. It's hard for people to 'see money being poured into that when community staff and facilities are being taken away. ' ,
And the women who stand to lose their jobs come April are even more bewildered.
"We're ju~t hoping against ho~ that the decision is reversed," said Hilda Solomons, one of the Arandis Playgroup's leading lights. "The work is so important to a community like this, it's taken such a long time to build up. If we're left dependent on parents' contributions the whole character of the playgroup will change. Everything will be so much more insecure."
However, according to a statement issued by Rossing last week less security is something Arandis must learn to live with. It had "identified the necessity for a , new approach to community projects which would entail a shift towards self-re~ance".
Herrigel refused to comment on the debt situation, or how much international debt had been inherited from South Africa at independence. However, he stressed, he is being very careful not to allow new debts for ,anything except capital projects and is , "definitely" not increasing foreign debt.
last week's Cabinet meeting to broaden the tax base. He said this meant he should not increase rates of income tax, as Namiblans pay "relatively high taxation", but that he should look for new areas to tax.
This could mean introducing a land tax on farms, imposing tax on goods currently escaping General Sales Tax, or cutting the amount of capital expenditure a company could write off in a year.
He explained that the Government is facing the equivalent of a cashflow crisis; and needed to be very disciplined to make sure there were sufftcient funds. He pointed out that having limited money to do what is needed is not the same as being bankrupt, but that strict control is needed.
The Governm!!nt iS,set to get less income this year from the large mines. Rossing is already warning that it is set to face two bad years and CDM is spending heavily on new projects, which cuts the tax it has to pay. Rosh Pinah and Navachab mines are both doing well, he said. Tax revenue is likely to improve within two years and the medium-term forecast is good.
Other observers speculate the tax income from GST, companies and personal tax could be down because of a slowdown in the economy during the independence process and since the withdrawal of Untag.
Herrigel said the next 12 to 18 months are set to be ;a difficult period when the Government does not have sufficient resources. He said he will table an adcJitipnal budget in February, as tax revenue especially from the mines had proved smaller than originally forecast in ~is first budget.
However, the overall position was sllghtly better than predicted as income to the Government ministries, for instance' from fishing llcences, had proved higher than predicted.

Schwarzkopf tries to stem· Saddam's slick
US BOMBERS destroyed pressure controls at an oil terminal in Iraqi-occupied Kuwait with a pinpoint raid aimed at stemming a tide of crude gushing into the Gulf, Allied Commander General Norman Schwarzkopf said yesterday.
And, in other deyelopments yesterday, Iraq hinted it would use chemical or biological weapons against the US-led multinational force as Allied aircraft blasted Iraq' s port city of Basra, without encounter-- . ing resistance.
Referring to the oil slick, Schwarzkopf told a military briefing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the raid on Saturday night
hadapparently slowed the flow of oil because aerial photographs showed less flame and smoke at an offshore terminal.

The US-led Allies' say Iraq had deliberately opened valves leading to Kuwait's sea island tanker loading terminal. An oil slick 35 miles long and 10 miles
DEMONSTRATIONS of support for Iraq in the Gulfwar turned into local battles that left 12 people dead in India and Pakistan,according to reports yesterday. In Japan and elsewhere demonstrators took to the streets to demand an end to the war.

Schwarzkopf said none of the oil in the slick, which reached Saudi Arabia's offshore Safaniyah oilfield on Sunday, ~as spilled as a result of military operations against Iraq.
Estimates on now much oil is in the main slick, travelling south at a speed of 15-to-20 miles a day, vary from one to eight million barrels.
The upper estimate would make it the biggest oil spill in histOl:y - a major catasrophe for marine life in the narrow and almost-enclosed waterway,
also iUl important bird migratory route.
Meanwhile, Iraq threatened yesterday to capy out lightening strikes against Allied troops after hinting it might attack with chemical and biological weapons.
Iraq also said on Saturday that it had declared a Holy War against the Allies and that President Saddam Hussein had signed a decree awarding martyr status to any suicide commandos who die in guerrilla attacks against the interests of the countries in the 28-nation alliance. - Sapa-Reuter-AP
Iraq blames UN chief for
Gulf war NICOSIA: Iraq said yesterday the air war agaipst it was a disgrace to the United Nations for which SecretaryGeneral Javier Perez de CueUar was personally to blame.
It also promised "crushing strikes' , against US and Allied forces and vowed to tum the "monstrous entity" Israel into " a dead leaf discarded on the ground".
Baghdad's latest report on the fighting said the Iraqi anned forces shot down three aircraft or missiles during 112 Allied air raids on military and civil-ian targets. •
It said Iraq fired Scud missiles at Riyadh in Saudi Arabia and Tel Aviv and Haifa in Israel on Saturday night and all its missile launchers "returned safely tp their bases".
Iraq says it has shot down more than 170 planes since the war began. The Allied forces have reported the loss of 24 aircraft in combat or accidents.
Perez de Cuellar failed during talks on January 12 with President Saddam Hussein in Baghdad to avert the war which
started five days lilter. The Iraqi Defence Ministry
newspaper Al-Qadisiyah said yesterday the coming days would witness "momentous events" and that US President George Bush • 'will even lose what he already has' ' .
"We will annul the illegitimate Zionist entity (Israel) forever," the Iraqi News Agency INA quoted the paper as saying.
The paper repeated accusations that Israel had joined Allied planes in bombing Iraq. - SapaReuter
SA pilgrims sit tight
Iran refuses to hand back Iraqi aircraft
LONDON: Diplomatic contacts between South African and Saudi Arabian officials in London were continuing last night in an effort to obtain clearance for a chartered aircraft to fly to Jeddah on a rescue mission to ferry some 330 stranded Muslim pilgrims back to Johannesburg.
"We're still working round the clock on it," said Richard Carter, Minister at the South African Embassy in London, where a rescue plan was finalised last week already and a specially hired Boeing 707 aircraft held on standby at a nearby airport.
NICOSIA: Iran said yesterday it was holding up to 12 Iraqi planes after underlining its neutrality in the Gulf War by refusing to hand over the aircraft to Baghdad.
The Pentagon said on Saturday atleast24Iraqiplanes, includ,ing ,.12 jet fighters, had landed in Iran in the past few days and called on Iran to hold them until the Gulfwaris over.
But parliamentary speaker Mehdi Karrubi yesterday referred only to seven fighters which made an emergency landing in Iran on Saturday and said four or five Iraqi passenger planes had also sought refuge in neighbouring Iran.
Ka'rrubi said experts were questioning the pilots of the seven Iraqi fighters, one of which was ablaze on landing.
He said some of the fighters had run short of fuel.
,Karru1?i did not say when the passenger planes landed in Iran or where they were being held.
Iraq says it is in contact with Iran to seek the return of the fighter planes but Iran has refused to hand them back.
A leading radical, the son of the late Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Rlihollah Khomeini, Ahmad Khomeini, launched a scathing attack on President Saddam Hussein and accused him of crimes against Moslems.
.. Saddam by invading Iran and martyring tens of thousands of Iranian youths as well as Iraqi clergymen has committed the worst crimes against Islam, ' , Khomeini said in remarks -broadcast on Tehran radio.
Iraq invaded Iran in 1980, starting a war which lasted eight years and left an estimated one million casualties on both sides.
Khomeini renwks confinned that all factions were now behind the government's policy of neutrality in the war.
President Rafsanjani said on Friday helping Baghdad's bid to keep Kuwait will be suicide for the country. - Sapa-Reuter
The SouthAfrican pilgrims, on a once-in-a-lifetime visit to holy Muslim sites, have been stranded for over a week now while the Gulf war rages, after pro-Iraqi Muslim leaders in Port Elizabeth angered the Saudis with plans to recruit 10 000 Muslims to fight on Saddam Hussein's side.
The pilgrims were not allowed to leave on their scheduled exit flight, and their places were given to other pilgrims from Asia. - Sapa '

THE NAMIBIAN
, Destructive signs
ALLOW me to express my deepest concern about the beer advertisements all around Namibia.
I respect, and take my hat off to those brethren who drink up to a certain point and still remember where their homes are. I really sympathise with those destroyed by alcoholism.
Beer advertisements are placed all over the country -mostly strategically so that thirsty workers can see them.
As a proud Namibian, I am disappointed with this. It seems the Govemment supports it too. I would like to call on everyone to reconsider it.
The advertisements entice people to buy beer before going home.
For our new and young Namibia, this kind of thing is counter to nation-building and is very destructive. Some are promoting and working for nationbuilding while others are doing the opposite. Look for
. instance, at Abner Xoagub and company, who have a massive campaign fighting alcohol abuse. It is also the Government's task, as well as that of the community, to support such actions.
As a young and upcoming nation, I would prefer that those boards be replaced with con-s~ogans or advertisements on matters like Aids prevention; promotion of the peoples ' police; promotion of reconciliation; or anything which gives a constructive image to the country and its people.
We as a young nation want to remain sober, while building anation. Alcoholism in the past was enemy number one. We must change this; away with the advertisements.
CONCERNED PATRIOT KATUTURA
On the subject ...
I WOULD like to thank your newspaper for the opportunity to express myself on a few rather disparate, but important national issues.
As one of the few concessions which involved a place name change, KaiserstIasse was renamed Independence Avenue, supposedly to foster remembrance of that great day.
Surely it is not too much to ask the staff of SWA Toyota to remember this in their advertisements. Similarly NanuDia Pilchards vaunted as' a national
product, can now be bought in South Africa and Botswmta. The label is addressed 'Kaiser Street, Ausspannplatz, Namibia ' . There are many other examples which one sees every day, possibly best illustrated by aT-shirt displayed in the Kalahari Sands complex where a caricatured babom rides atop a horsewagon transporting the sign 'Independence Avenue ' to its new location in Windhoek.
The billboards utilised during the transition period to independence were used successfully to promote • secret vote' and ' our free nation' philosophies. Many of the government will agree that.the power of large media advertising has been attested to time and again in workers' struggles the world over. Surely these display boards can be creatively utilised for national reconciliation rather than extolling the virtues of whisky, vodka and beer.
I noted with dismay that very few citizens could sing the national anthem at the Old Location remembrance ceremony on December 10 last year. Is it not possible to superimpose the lyrics during the opening and closing of the NBC television service?
I would also like to say that the $potlight programme on the Presidential Guard on Sunday was incredibly callous and one-sided, showing just how, much media is still controlling their own aims and not the 'ideals of the country. The producers of this programme should remember that objective reporting is crucial to ,fostering trust and understanding in our new nation.
Let us try and make 1991 a year of national unity, for divided we will surely fall.
P R SIEGFRIED KLEIN WINDHOEK
Tarnished image
THIS is lin open letter to His Excellency the President of the Republic of Namibia.
Your Excellency, as a citizen of this country, I would like to express my sincere' concem al>out the actions of the Presidential Guard, and the behaviour and appearance of it.
A lot has been said and written about the shootings by some of its members, and I will not elaborate on them, except to say nobody can condone these actions.
What Heel however, should be your immediate concem, is
F.uneral ma'Ssacre-VEREENIGING: Aboot 15 (XX)
mourners tpmed out at a mass funeral in Sebokeng yesterday to bury 36 victims of the recent massacre in the township and to hear several high profile speakers blame police for the
, killings. The funeral followed an attack on an ANC funeral vigil on January 12, which left
at least 39 people dead according to pollce. The ANC ,however, claims the final toll is 42.
Speakers at yesterday's funeral included Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu, UDF President Albertina Sisulu, ANC National Executive members and other ANC officials. ANC NEC member
the image created by the following:
Whenever Your Excellency intends to travel from State House, the Guard is deployed to SU'aLegic points, in most cases hours in advance. The members of the Guard are heavily armed, RPGs, rifle grenades, etc. In my opinion the deployment of the Guard is not a deterrent, but an open invitation to any 'would~be assassin' as he is being informed that the President will pass in the near future.
The second example concerns Your Excellency 's vacation in S'wakopmund and the deployment of three doublebarrelled anti-aircraft guns, one at the police station. Was this necessary? The same applies to members of the Guard, like
, on the day of the Christmas Party which was a very good idea and well organised: mixing with the festive crowd anned withAK47s (no problem with that) but being issued with 6-8 rifle grenades is, in my opinion, simply repulsive. Even more so, the Guard standing issued with a heavy machinegun, with an ammobelt slung from neck to ground and around his waist, is very ugly.
The third example is of a person, probably a Guard, as he was in civvies, sitting on a stretcher at the entrance of the Promenade , arguing with members of the public about permission to park private vehicles below Cafe Anton. This manner of conduct tarnishes your image, Your Excellency, and the image of your Government.
Please ensure that this conduct improves so that we, the citizens of this country.can be proud of you, and the new Independence, and not bow our heads in shame.
CONCERNED CITIZEN SWAKOPMUND
Ondangua o~erators
I WOULD like to express my views on the Ondangua telephone operators. The women on the exchange, in particular,
, are impolite and always shout ,and insult people. '
We don't know if they are the wives of former Koevoets, and if so, they should pack their bags and follow their husbands to South·Africa. We are in a free country, and want to be served by kind fellow Namibians, not those who are frustrated because of independence. You operators must change your attitude and learn to work with people.
. 1 appeal to the Ministry of Works, Transport and Communication to take note of these complaints, and talk to the people in question . Please retrain them, or send them to rehabilitation centres to be rehabilitated.
I regret to have to put the emphasis on women, but I always seem to be on the receivingend. However,afriend of mine has a similar complaint about a male operator.
So please operators at the Ondangua Central Exchange, change your attitudes. Follow the example of bank workers and people working in Eyakulo lyOshigwana - they are very polite and kind to people.
We would also like to hear a change in your voices soon.
DISAPPOINTED ONIIPA
Slap in the face
I WISH to react to the speech given by Minister Nahas Angula reported in your newspaper of January 24.
I do not have the facts at my disposal surrounding the background of the formation of the University of Namibia/Academy, nor do I have the facts on its administration, but I, as a past student of the University want to place Qn record the dedication and and enthusiasm shown by the staff who lecture at the Academy is something to be admired.
After spending three years at the Academy I know that most of the teaching staff there sacrificed their free time and weekends to give extra classes to students, some ofwhomhad very poor secondary education.
While the Minister is entitled to his opinion, I too find his remarks "on the teaching side a lot is left to be desired as far as the university i s concerned" a slap in the face of our academics.
The teaching staff with limited resources at their disposal, are doing their best for the Namibian students, some of them can earn better elsewhere in South African universities, but because of their dedication and patriotism, they have stuck if out at the Academy.
Every institution in the world has its shortcomings, and the Academy/University of Namibia is no exception.
The Minister wants his new Government to be given time, fair enough, but similarly the University/Academy must also be given time, as it is also a new institution.
Common decency and integrity demand that we can give credit where this is due, andlthinkthelecturingstaffis to be congratulated at having done a good job under trying circumstances.

SAP accused again Thomas Nkobi was most vociferous in accusing police Of complicity in the killings.
He said police were directly responsible for the attack because·they were asked to attend the vigil beforehand as trouble was expected.
Police at the time said they arrived at the vigilbut left after
an ANCofficia1 had asked them to do so.
Nkobi accused police of using vigilante gangs to do their .. dirty work". Their policy of internal destabilisation was similar to that of the Renamo movement in Mozambique and Unita in Angola, he said to loud roars of agreement.

Several shots were fired by both sides. But hours after the incident, which happened in one of the m!,st tense unrest areas in Natal, authorities were tight-lipped about details surrounding the shooting.
A curt joint statement by the SADF and SAP on Saturday offered no explanation !,n what might have caused the shooting of the two men who were investigating a complaint at the mi1itaIy base at about 2<hOO. The statement said the incident was being investigated.
No arrests had been made. . SAP public relations officer Major Coert ,Mar;ris said the names of the men involved
. 'were being withheld "because the next of kin have to be informed.'"
All he would say. was the dead policemen were ~ white sergeant ruld a white. constable. He could not give details about the wounded black soldier.
Marais said officially no arrests had been made as "a lot of people are being mterrogated." - Sapa

The taking of the presidential palace called Villa Somalia and of state radio came five weeks to the day after fighting erupted between loyalist government troops and rebels seeking an end to Siad Barre's 21-year rule.
They accuse Siad Barre of widespread atrocities and repeatedly rejected calls for a cease-fire or mediation to end the conflict peacefully, saying they preferred to end his reign by force. - Sapa-AP

SADF stand by after Ciskei coup attempt
BISHO: South African Defence troops had been put on standby to protect South African lives and property in Ciskei, if necessary, following a failed coup in the territory yesterday morning, an SADF spokesperson said.
Ruling Ciskei Military ' Council head, Brigadier Oupa
- Gqozo, said the two-man c oup was foiled when Ciskei troops confronted former military council member Colonel Mangwane Guzana and former Ciskei secu~ty head Lieu~ tenant-General Charles Sebe in a roadblock about 9km from the capital, Bisho. Guzana was shot dead in the 03hOO skirmish and Sebe escaped wounded under cover of darkness.
The two were wearing bullet proof vests and had an Uzzi sub-machinegun and two Ber- . etta 9mm pistols with spare ammunition. .
Gqozo said Sebe was being pursued by 'Ciskei security forces and police dog-squads who were combing the region.
He had reportedly been sighted, "deeply wounded and tired", at Cwencwe Village
about 7krn from the roadblock, Gqozo said.
A R5 000 reward has been offered for information leading to his immediate arrest, and he was expected to be captured yesterday, he said . .
Two briefcases and a slingbag with documents and speeches relating to the attempted coup had. been seized from the vehicle and security experts were busy analysing them.
Gqozo saidhis security forces had been monitoring the coup attempt for three weeks and intercepted the vehicle shortly after it crossedthe Ciskei border near Stutterheim.
Gqozo seized pClwer in a bloodless coup on March 4last year, accusing Sebe of corruption and repressive rule. In days following the coup at least 20 people were killed. - Sapa
Pro-democracy leaders sentenced in China
BEIJING: Five leaders of China's crushed pro-democracy movement, including student leader Wang Dan, were among eight people sentenced on Saturday in a closed court, according to notices posted outside the courthous ·
The sentences were not immediately disclosed. - ---Wang, 23, was one of the best-known leaders of the student
marches that began Beijing's seven-week-long democracy movement in 1989. .
The marches expanded into a nationwide movement joined by people of all ages. Soldiers crushed it with an armed attack on the protesters in Beijing June 3 to 4, 1989, killing hundreds of people . .
Sentenced along with Wang were longtime dissident Ren Wanding, who had been jailed for four years for taking part in an earlier pro-democracy movement; Liu Xiaobo, a university lecturer; Bao Zunxin, an historian; and Guo Haifeng, a student leader. Three people arrested with Guo - Chen Tao, Li Chenghuan and Yao JunHng - were also sentenced.
Altogether, 25 democracy activists have been tried or .sentenced since January 5. At least 12 more key figures from the movement have yet to be tried.
China is believed to be trying to wrap up all the trials and sentences over the next few weeks, hoping the world's preoccupation with the Gulf war will reduce international criticism. -Sapa-AP

TourislD dead RABAT: Fallout from the \JUlf war has hit Moroc;;cp's vital tourist industry.
Holiday makers, except for small groups of Japanese, are simply staying away.
"We have hit absolute rock bottom," said one travel agent, . complaining that the impact of the Gulf War was so bad he could go out
of business. More than two miHion tourists visited Morocco in 1989 but since Iraq
invaded Kuwait on August 2 there has been a dramatic decline in their number.
Tunisia says it is suffering too. Tourism Minister Mohamed Jegham said on Friday Tunisia's tourist trade had slumped by two thirds because
of the Gulf crisis.

Mandela t o spea k in Windhoek this week NELSON Mandela, the Deputy President .of the African National Congress, has confirmed that he is to visit Namibia this week. Immediately after President Sam Nujoma has opened the Southern African Development Coordination Conference's annual meeting in Windhoek on Thursday, Mandela is set to be one of the main speakers. ~
This meeting of the conference, set to discuss projectS.lplalling some R20,5 billion, will be the first in which the main liberation movements of South Africa, the ANC and the Pan Africanist Congress. will have full participation. Previously they, like Swapo before independence, were only observers. No representation from the white minority government is coming.
The seven-strong ANC delegation is set to include Thabo Mbeki, the head of international affajrs, and Stanley Mabizela, the deputy secretary of the same department as well as J Radebe,
. E Khumalo and Abbey Chikane from the Windhoek office. Two PAC economists will come, led by M Gbobose. Conference organisers warn that some of these visit.ors may cancel at the last minute due t.o pressures at home.
SADCC information secretary
TOM MINNEY '
Kgosinkwe Moesi told The Namibian the move represents optimism that apartheid will end in South Africa within the next 12 lJlonths. The C9 UO
try would automatically join the development body as its main member.
Today the SADCC Council of Ministers meeting is to discuss what sector Nanllbia will be askedt o coordinate as the newest member. It is widely tipped to be the fi shing sector, currently convened by Malawi.
lltis suspicion was strengthened last night when the Minister for Agricul' ture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development Gert Hanekom and the Ministe r for Trade and Industry Ben Amathila arrived for a meeting with SADCC officials.
Today 's discussion will also cover regional coordination of culture and information, in a new area of acti vity for SADCC. This will include new bodies and sharing media facilities. Currently Namibia is hea vily dependent on the South African Press Agency and American and British television and radio networks.
The Ministers will also lalk about
the conference theme: "Human Resources: Primary Factor in Development" including changing education to provide more skills for farming and small businesses· and to make sure people in the region have more techni -cal skiHs. .
Several top-level visitors are not coming to the conference because of the_Gulf crisis.
The'number of delegates is likely to be around 650, instead of earlier estimates of 800, Namibia is providing some 160 cars and drivers from various ministries, which have been relabelled with SADCC number plates. Depuly Minister of Trade and industry Reggie Diergaardt said visiling ministers were only being provided with cars and not wi th escort s or motorcades.
TIle consultative conference ilself will run from January 30 to February I. Around the conference will be meetings with the Scandin.wian coun-
. tries , among SADCC's biggest supporters, the European Communily and the Commonwealth.
. Namibia hopes to get R350 million in support for projects including key roads to link it with Zambia and Botswana.
US cuts aid for Pakistan, Yemen WASHINGTON: The US State Department has announced sharp military and economic aid cuts to Pakistan -- even if it gives up its nuclear weapons program -- and less severe cuts to many other countries.
The action came in final allocations of IS.S billion dollars In foreign aid from US President George Bush's administration. Congress had left many aid programs up to Bush in Il~ package for fiscal 1991.
Aid last fiscal year totalled 14.6 billion dollars. Another country receiving a big slash was Yemen, whkh opposed the United Nations sanctlO,ns of force against
Iraq to make it withdraw from Kuwait. There is also a cut from planned nsslstanceto the PWlipplnes and general1y smaller cuts to several .other countries.
... The total for Pnkistan was reduced from ftscnll990's half billion dollars to 208 million dollars this year, ~,"d the bulk of that will not be available uniess US omclals are convinced the country is not d~veloplng a nuclear weapons potential. .
Pakistan, a longtime US friend In the islamic world, says Its nuclear program Is for peaceful purposes . For the Philippines, the White House cut In half Its 200 mUlion-dollar proposed contribution to the economi
cally troubled S.outheast A"lan nation. Overall aid to the Philippines, however, Increased by about 4 million dollars .over last ftscal year's allocations
to 472.6 million. . . Congress had enacted a 50 per cent cut In mllltarynid to 1<:1 Salvndor, but Bush used Ws authority to reinstate
the full amount last week after certifying that It Is justified by human rights and arms violations among leftist rebels. .
Bush said release of the money, however, .would be postponed for 60 days to give peace talks a chance. ' S~lpa,

Hy bet aan Nampa vertel die DTA !s gevra deur " n
sekere mnr. Hurt van 'n pIaasIike sekuriteitsn'iaatskappy om bom behulpsaam te wees in diE; werwiog v;,to oogeveer 400 man as sekuriteitswagte. Tjombe bet nie die 8aam van die firma bekend gemaak nie en bet gese byweet nie wat die naam daarvan is nie.
.----""
Hy bet verder :: daarop gewys dat ' n groot aantal
.' voormalige soidate van die Caprivi, Owambo en Boesmanland voortdurend by die kantore van die DTA kom aa.nklop vir werk. Sommige van bierdie soidate is aangeneem as wagte vir die onderneming.

Uitsetting veroordeel DIE Staatsdiensunie van Namibie veroordeel ten sterkste die stap deur die Ministerie van Werke, Vervoer en Kommunikasie waarin die Vereniging vir Gestremdes beopdrag word om die huise te verlaatwat van bogenoemde Ministerie gehuur word, volgens 'n< brief wat deur hiet"die vereniging uitgereik is.
Alhoewel die vereniging bewus is van die' kroniese behuisingstekort wat veral ill; Windhoek ervaar word, moes die Ministerie van Gesondheid die posisie van die gestremdes in ag geneem het en probeer het om altematiewe huisvesting vir sy persorieel te vind.
Die versorging van die gestremdes is op die huidige oomblik $eeds moeilik genoeg met min hulp van·die regering en dit is in die eerste instansie die plig van die regering om sy gestremdes te versorg.
Alhoewel die keerdatum tot die einde van April 1991 uitgestel is, doen die vereniging 'n ernstige beroep op Ministers Kapelwa en Iyambo om bewys te lewer van hul goedgunstigheid teenoor · die gestremdes en van altematiewe moontlikhede vir , die huisvesting vanhul amptenare te maak. '
In 'n telefoniese gesprek laat gisteraand het C.R. Balie, die voorsitter van die unie, gese die unie voel dat hierdie personeel waarvoor die huise
benodig word in staat is 'Qm lenings van die regering te verkry en vir hulself huise te bou of aan te koop. Dit is vol-
, gens hom onregverdig om die huise weg te ne.em van diegene wlit nie in staat is om vir lrulself te sorg nie en te gee aan gesonde persone.
Die unie is die amptelike woordvoerder van al die werkers in die staatsdiens en is verteenwoordigend van die amptenare wat onder die permanente sekretarisse val en het . tans' 'n ledetal van 19280.
Olifante breek uit wildtuin BEAMPTES van die Ministerie van Natuurlewe, Bew~ring en Toerisme was verlede Diosdag genoodsaak om 'n olifant op die plaas Heliodore, suid van Namutoni, te skiet nadat dit uit die Etosba Wildtuin gebreek het en alle pogings om dit terug te dryf na die wildtuin misluk bet.
Een van die olifante op die plaas is met , sukses na die wildtuin teruggeja.
Die olifant wat geskiet is kon selfs met die bulp van 'nbelikopter nie na die wildtuin teruggedryfword nie.
Volgens Allan Cilliers, die Hoofbewar-
, iogsbeampte van die wildtuio, word olifante wat uit die wild tuin breek slegs onder uiterste omsmndighede geskiet en is daar in die afgelope drie jaar slegs drie sulke olifante geskiet. '
'n Derde olifailt het uitgebreek na die plaas Willina, suidwes van Okaukeujo maar is alreeds terug in die wildtuin. 'n Vierde bul is nog op die plaas Poole maar kon weens die nat weer nog oie bereik word oie • .
AI die olifante is teelbulle. Hulle maak ongeveer tien persent van die totale olifantbevolking van die wildtuin uit.

,.eveel van _b~Ie aireeds gebelp is deur die DTA 'om werk te kry nie. .
In die tussentyd bet Swapo .se Ondersekretaris y~n Inligtiog eo Publisiteit, Naody Nehova, bekend gemaak dat voormalige Plan-Iede by die Swapo-hootkwartier registreer word sodat bul name

As Chiefs releases grap on cup ...
SUNDOWNS CLINCH· SOCCER
SPECTACULAR IWISA Kaizer Chiefs were finally forced to release their grip on the lwisa Maize Meal Charity Shield after being beaten 1-0 by a fire-up Double Action Sundowns in an incident-packed final at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on Saturday.
The only goal of an entliralling clash came in the 52nd minute when ace Sundowns striker, Bennett 'Lover-Boy' Masinga, tapped home the easiest of shots from close range, after his captain and fellow striker Emest 'Wire' Chirwali's thunderous shot was blocked by Chiefs ' goalkeeper, Wade du Plessis.
Chiefs had won the event every year since its inception and were biding for their sixth straight title on Saturday.
But it was not to be. Sundowns gave an exceptional performance in front of 65 000 spectators and thoroughly deserved their victory.
They earned their place in the final of this R300 ()()() oneday spectacular by defeating Jomo Midas Cosmos 4-3 on a penalty shoot-out, while Chiefs went through by coasting past arch-rivals Orlando Pirates 2-O.
The match start in a sensational fashion when a player from each side was sent offby referee George Masoleng.
Sundowns veteran Harold 'Jersey Queen' Legodi was the first to be given his marching orders after retaliation following an alercation between two opposing players. Chiefs defender Ntsie Maphike, one of the players involved, soon followed for dissent.
But from the outset, it was clear that Sundowns were intent on upstaging the champions, although Chiefs were the first to find the back of the net.
Marks 'Pro' Maponyane sneaked into the Sundowns area to score, but the goal was ruled offside.
Thereafter, Sundowns poured . on the pressure, with chances falling to Masinga and midfield inspiration Zane Moosa.
One opportunity did come Chiefs' way, but the powerful
Scara Thindwa-shot over the crossbar in the 40th minute. Otherwise, the first half be
. longed to Sundowns, who rained shots in from all angles.
After the interval, Sundowns kept up the pressure, and du Plessis was forced into a spectacular save from a close-range effort by Cedric Nakhumwa.
Then the Masinga-Chirwali combination struck, and the huge contingent of Chiefs supporters was silenced as they saw the trophy slipping away.
onem' new coach, leffButler brought on inventive midfielder Doctor Khumalo after the goal and then he immediately injected some life into his side. His acutely angled shot in the 65th minute edged centimetres past the Cosmos post.
But 10 minutes later, Masinga blew a chance to seal the
match for Sundowns when he shot high over the bar with only du Plessis to beat.
Thindwa also missed a golden opportunity to equalize with 11 minutes left when, with only Craig Ie Grange in the Sundowns goal to get past, be blasted over the top.
Four minutes later, Trevor Mthimkhulu also shot high in his rushed effort to put Chiefs on level terms.
The last chance of the match fell to Chirwali, who definitely deserved a goal for the amount of work he put in. But he hit his rocket-like shot straight into the hands of du Plessis, who was the busiest man on the park.
Sundowns earned R30 ()()() for their efforts, while Chiefs' impressive record in the competition lay in tatters.
FIRST TIME: Monica Seles was the puppet-master. Jana Novotna danced to her tune. Seles became more agrressive midway through the second set, fine-tuned her passing game and became the youngest Australian Open women's singles champion in history. The 17-year-old beat Novotna 5-7, 6-3, 6-1 Saturday, winning nine of the last 10 games.

First' Johnsoii wiri after drug scandal OTTAWA: Ben Johnson ran to victory in the 55-meter dash of the Ottawa Winter national indoor meet on Saturday night, his first victory since the drug-tainted Olympic 100-meter final in 1988.
With about 6 <XX> fans cheering him on, Johnson hit the finish tape in 6.20 seconds, .01 seconds ahead of Canadian Brian Morrison. In third was Daron Council of the United States, who spoiled Johnson's celebrated return to "track by edging him at 50 meters in the Hamilton, Ontario indoor meet two weeks ago.
"I've been out for two years. ... It takes time to adjust," Johnson said after receiving a hug from his mother and a standing ovation from the crowd. "I'll just have to work on my starts."
Johnson's time broke the Canadian 55-meter record of 6.21 seconds held by Mark McCoy. Johnson's previous nationalmarkof6.01hadbeen wiped from the books because of his steroid suspension.
"It kind of feels good, but the way it is now I'm not very happy because I have a lot more things to work on," Johnson said.
Johnson's start was better, but he said he still has to work on getting out of the blocks. "It's going to take me a couple .of more races.
"He's coming back,' , Johnson's coach, Loren Seagrave, said. "But he's still got-lots of work to do. This is just ;u:otber step on a long road back." .
"I ~asn't really focusfug on a fast time," Johnson said. "I just wanted to win. "
The Hamilton event was Johnson's first since completing a two-year suspension for steroid use. A positive drug test following his record-shattering l00-metervictoryinthe
1988 Olympics at Seoul, South Korea led to his disqualificatice, the return of his gold medal and a lengthy government study of drug use in sport.
Johnson followed his ballyhooed return at Hamilton with a second-place finish in the Sunkist Invitational at Los Angeles.
Saturday's time, as was the case in the first two races, didn't come close to matching those which Johnson put up while on
steroids. Missing since his return was
the explosive start that put up record l00-meter times of9.83 and then, at Seoul, 9.79 seconds, both subsequently removed from the books because of failed drug tests.
The Ottawa race was Johnson's last before heading to meets in Japan and Europe, including the world indoor track and . field championships at Seville, Spain, in March. - Sapa
