THE daring theft of over one tonne of highly toxic uranium oxide from the Rossing Uranium mine has raised serious questions about security measures at the mine.
According to a statement released by Rassing yesterday, three drums of uranium oxide, each weighing about 370kg, were stolen from the mine over the weekend.
Rassing said the uranium oxide is • 'only mildly radioactive", but the company admitted that the substance is chemically toxic.
The thieves apparently broke the locks on gates in the perimeter fence around the mine, and then broke into a warehouse 'where the uranium oxide was stored.
The drums were taken from the mine in a stolen Rassing bakkie, which was later.found abandoned near the Goreangab dam outside Windhoek.
The police have hunched an intensive investigation, but by late yesterday evening no arrests had been made.
Police spokesperson Commissioner Siggi Eimbeck said

THE Miillstry of Home Affairs has decided to deport South African 'agent-on-the-run', Dave Verster, but has agreed to stay the order for three days while the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees tries to find a country prepared to receive him.

the police were investigating every possibility and following every lead.
Rossing Public Affairs Manager Clive Algar was yesterday not prepared to comment on how it had been possible for the thieves to breach mine security so easily.
Algar said he had been requested by the police, not to provide any information beyond the information contained in Rossing' s press release.
The theft has, however, renewed anxieties about the quality of security at the large Rossing uranium mine.
This is particularly so at a time when a number of countries that are engaged in covert nuclear weapons programmes might want to acquire uranium illegally.
Because the uranium is chemically toxic, some observers pointed out the danger of the uranium falling into the hands of a radical right-wing group.
The motive behind the theft is not clear, because as Rossing itself stated, the uranium is of no use in its present state and is therefore virtually worthless

The man who claims the notorious Civil Co-operation Bureau (CCB) had put out a contract on his life because of his revelations concerning the David Webster murder, was subsequently fined RI 000, which the court agreed he could payoff in three instalments.
Last week Verster' s visitors visa expired and he failed to turn up at court to pay the second instalment of his fine.
A warrant for his arrest was issued and police took him into custody at Sesfonteininnorthwestern Namibia on Friday. However, on Saturday Verster managed to escape from the Central Police Station in Windhoek.
Yesterday morning Verster was 'holed up' at the offices of the UNDP in the Sanlam Build- ' ing. Two members of the police waited outside to arrest him as soon as he emerged. UNDPhave diplomatic immunity and police could not enter the premises to arrest the former Johannesburg City Councillor, who tried but failed to get a job with either the Ministry of Nature Conservation, Wildlife and Tourism or various wildlife protection groups in Namibia.
Since his arrival in Namibia, he has been booted out of several homes and the wildlife protection groups have also disassociated themselves from him, while one newspaper described him as a "born liar".
Yesterday Home Affairs informed the UNDP that Namibia would not give asylumto Verster. "We told them that whatever they are arranging, the man is in custody, and you can give him asylum anywhere else but not here," Kamati told The Namibian.
The Home Affairs Permanent Secretary implied the decision to deport Verster was 'not negotiable '.
Approached for comment, MacAdam of the UNDP con-
to ~e thieves themselves. Dr Steve Kesler, General
Manager of Rossing Mine, pointed out that uranium oxide must go through various processes before it can be used as nuclear fuel.
The company said the drums would be safe while the seals are intact, but warned that the opening of the drums by untrained people could be hazardous to the health of those who come into contact with the uranium oxide.
Kesler urged members of the' public wl¥> know anything about the theft, or whereabouts of the drums, to contact their nearest police station.
Several observers have speculated that the theft might have been carried out by disgruntled Rossing employees to protest the large-scale retrenchments planned by the company.
The theory here apparently is that workers might have carried out the the theft In order to embarrass Rossing and draw attention to their own plight.
The company said the steel drums containing the uranium oxide are painted black and have stencilled serial numbers and a radioactive warning.
Rossing have also offered to pay a reward for any information leading to the recovery of the drums.
SA 'agent' Dave Verster has found refuge with the UNDP.
firmed that Verster had met with a Legal Protection Officer of the UNHCR on July 24, when the latter travelled from Swaziland to W.oek for a conference. Referring to Verster as a 'special case', MacAdam confirmed that he had recommended to the UNHCR in Geneva that they take up his case for asylum.
The Namibian Government, he added, had agreed to stay the deportation order for three days, until such time as the UNHCR could find a third country willing to receive the former SA agent. The Government had been 'co-operative' he added, saying that his staff were able to visit Verster in what he termed 'protective custody' three times a day.
Verster had showed up at their offices yesterday morning and told the UNDP that he was about to be arrested and deported from Namibia.
Asked if Verster's was not an unusual case, and whether the UNHCR had been involved in assisting such people before, MacAdam said people could change and that the UNDPjUNHCR was looked at the matter from the legal point of view concerning legitimate refugees.
Although Verster could probably be charged with failing to pay the second instalment of his fine, remaining in Namibia after the expiry of his visa, and escaping from police custody over the weekend, when asked whether he would appear in court, Kamati said that Verster could pay his fine from jail as far as he was concerned.
MacAdam in turn could not speculate what country was likely to offer Verster political asylum.
Lukewarmresponse to NGO conference
, REACTIONS to last weekend's NGO conference, hosted by Namibia Peace Plan, have been varied, with some participants applauding the initiative and others disappointed by its academic flavour.
The conference, which brought together members of Namibian NGO's and speakers from African and overseas organisations, ran for three days and addressed a variety of issues.
The most pressing matter raised, according to several participants, was the relationship between NGOs and the Government.
Closing the conference, National Assembly speaker Mose Tjitendero said "much of the work done by NGOs and the values which underlie that work, have now been assumed by the state".
"Although NGOs are clearly and properly autonomous agents, they aspire to work for the same common good as governments, especially those which are credible, legitimate and democratic. " Sustainable development would not be advanced where wedges were driven between governments and NGOs, he said.
But though most people taking part agreed on the usefulness of Tjitendero's input, they were more divided on the rest of the conference.
Mystery over bodies fished out of river
THE badly mutilated body of a male was recovered by the Namibian Police from the Kavango River last Friday, the second in a week.
The police said the first body was also male and was fished out of the riverbed near Mbambi village on Monday last we€k clad only in underpants.
The body has been positively identified as that of a certain Kashweka, 34, from Mbambi village, about 4Skm from the Bagani police station.
The body was found with bullet-like wounds on the chest, police said.
The second body, ilShed out of the river on Friday, was also found clad only in underpants. It was discovered near Kayanga village, about SOkm west of Bagani on the Angolan side of the Kavango River, approximately %km from the spot where Kashweka's body was found. The body was identified as that of Donald Yeta,31,alsofrom the Mbambi village.
The . police said Kashweka and Veta had been reported missing at the Bagani poijce station on July 18 this year. Police are still investigating the two deaths. - Nampa
STAFF REPORTER
Corfununity activist Paul Kalenga said he felt the conference suffered from not having sought the active involvement of grassroots NamibianNGOs and conununity-based organisations. He questioned the suitability ofNPP as a vehicle for organising NGO meetings, feeling that such conferences should arise out of decisions taken by the NGOs themselves.
"I didn't think it was really a success. There was a lot of academic debate and theorizing about the nature of devel-
' opment." There had been important messages from the Kenyan and American speakers on questions of donor finance, he said. "But because of the structure of the conference, they were not heard by the right people. ' ,
Another critic agreed ' that the conference lacked community-based input and was not representative of the wide range of Namibian NGOs, most of whom, she said, had not been invited.
But Kenneth Abrahams, who presented an overiew of the history of Namibian NGOs at the conference, said he thought the meeting had been well attended and "fairly representative".
"It was good to see NGOs from differenl backgrounds sitting together to discuss
common difficulties. One of our main problems has been the lack of co-ordination among Namibian groups, which have historically been divided."
Abrahams pointed out that "the rival umbrealla organisations" of Nangof (Namibian Non-Governmental Organisation Forum) and Nangos (Namibian Association of NGOs) had come together 'in
, peace', along with other, nonaligned groups.
He said the conference had emphasised the need to strengthen links between the Government and NGOs, through the NGO desk at the National Planning Commission (NPC). "People were keen to locate the position of NGOs within Namibia's national development strategy and ' agreed to pressurize the NPC to clarify this role."
Given the history of NGOs in Namibia, Abrahams said it was probably too early to unite all organisations under one umbrella group. He suggested that the NGO desk could help by bringing organisations together along lines of common interest.
"Perhaps they could arrange practically-oriented workshops on topics like financial management, income generation or sustainability ," he said.
That way groups would work together naturally rather than be forced into premature or artificial unity.

THE sudden and unexpected resignation of two ofNamibia's top black banking officials is expected to raise serious questions about the prospect that the profession is closed to black Na~ibians. ,
The Namibian was yesterday informed by a 'very concerned' source that Tony de Silva, Personnel and Human Resources Manager at the Conunercial Bank ofNanubia, and Sylvester Black, Standard Bank of Namibia's Business Development Manager, had both resigned from their positions.

Keep Windhoek rabies free WINDHOEKERS seem to have won the tlght against rabies. No cases of the killer disease have been conflrmed in the city for the last two years.
A statement from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development this weekend asked people in Windhoek to "keep up the good work" by bringing their dogs to free rabies vaccination clinics, organised by the state veterinarian.
The clinics start in Windhoek today, August 6, and continue until Friday. The vaccination of dogs is free and dog licences do not have to be produced.
Dogs must be vaccinated at the age of three months and at one year. After that the vaccination only needs to be repeated every three years. The vaccination of cats is not compulsory.
Vaccination clinics will be held from 08hoo to 12hoo and from

Katima Boy Scout off to Korea A BOY SCOUT from Namibia, Rodney Sikopo of Katima Mulilo, has been invited to attend the World Scout Jamboree being held at Mt Sorak National Park, South Korea, between August 8 and 16. Scouts from approxm,ately 130 countries and territories are expected to attend, making it the largest representation in the 70 years of World Jamboree history.
The Jamboree theme, 'Many Lands, One World' takes on a special meaning this year, because Scouts from Czechoslovakia and Hungary, who rejoined the W orId Scout Movement last year
will be present after more than 40 years absence. Boys and girls form countries where Scouting is rapidly re-emerging, such as Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Yugoslavia, various USSR republics, Angola, the Congo, Mongolia and Vietnam will also be attending. Rodney Sikopo's trip has been made possible by the kind generosity of of the Boy Scouts of Korea, who have sponsored the Jamboree fee, as well as the airfare from Nairobi to Seoul. Other costs have been sponsored by a number of persons and organisations who wish to remain anomymous.

THE Namibian Red Cross is to hold a home industries exhibition on Friday to show work undertaken at its centres in Katutura. Oshakati and Spitzkoppe~ The exhibition. which will be opened by the society's Honorary President First Lady Kovambo Nujoma at the Arts Association. will include a wide range of hand icrafts and publications produced by Red Cross workers.

Spirit oftheSpitzkoppe "SfONES...stones...stones.."
Like a tolling bell, the cry of Spitzkoppe's stone-sellers greets visitors to this tiny community in Namibia's mid-· westem desert. Spread in the shadow of · the mighty Spitzkoppe, the settlement owes its meagre living to the mountain and to the tourists who come to see it.
Men and women from the village set out early in the moming to hack chips of semiprecious stone from the hillside. Withno formal outlet for their odd discoveries of tourmaline, topaz and quartz, they spend the rest of the time on the look-out for potential customers.
Selling stones is virtually

the only way to eam money in Spitzkoppe, but the dull cry of the roadside pedlars tells of their limited success. Most tourists head straight for the mountain; those who do stop find themselves besieged by a dozen other salesmen or ragged children appealing for food.
Against a backdrop of makeshift shacks and evident poverty, it is a depressing scene, even for the day visitor. For most members . of the Spitzkoppe community it is something with which they've leamed to live. For a few others - mainly women - it's something they are trying to change.
" It was the unemployment problem that really got me thinking, " says Elizabeth Xoages, who started a Red Cross braoch at Spi1zkoppe three years ago. " Nearly everyone goes to the hills to hunt for stones. They leave early and come back late. Their child.rm are left almo or with elderly relatives."
Elizabeth came up with the idea of a day-care centre and went to Windhoek to ask for help. "I'd read about the Red Cross in abook and so I went to find their offices, " she says.
From there the idea grew. Elizabeth underwent basic First Aid training in Windhoek and got more information about setting up self-help projects to generate income.
With money from the Brit-
ish Red Cross, an activity centre was established at Spitzkoppe. Today it provides day care for around 50 children and a base for primary health education and training in skills such as clothes-making and handicrafts.
In the afternoon sun, six women sit on the porch working at sewing machines donated by the AustrianRed Cross. They make a whole range of clothes which are taken for weekly sale at SWakopmund, some lOO· kilometres away ..
, 'Sometimes tourists who come to see the mountain will buy a few things, but we have to work hard to find markets, " says Elizabeth. "The whole process of marketing is difficult for the people here to understand . . They are sometimes annoyed if the clothes don't sell."

KEETMANSHOOP: A SURVEY on unemployment, employment and under-employment run by the Ministry of Labour and Manpower Development started here yesterday morning.
The aim is to provide the Government with figures on the rate of employment, unemployment and under-employment for employment creation strategies.
Ponhele ya Frans, supervisor of the survey exercise for the South and Centrai Southern regions, will visit 16 households at Tseiblaagte and Townlands, 10kmnorth ofKeetmanshoop. Frans will be accompanied by enumerators Jack Smit and Damianus Stephanus.
The survey, which is expected to last until August 25, will cover 200 households in both regions. However, Frans pointed out, the survey should not be regarded as a Government promise fC}r immediate employment.
He explained that available data was insuft'lclent and not suitable for Government planning purposes.
The International Labour Organisation (ILO) was providing expert as weil as ftnancial assistance for the project, he added. The ILO would employ people to analyse and process the information gathered after the survey ended.
Frans' survey team expected to cover Keetmanshoop and Townlands yesterday, Karasburg and Grunau today, Ldderitz tomorrow, the Sand Dune farms on August 8, Mariental and Gibeon on August 9, the Bloemhof farms on August 10, and finally Kalkrand and Maltahohe on August 11.
At the same time, other members of the team will be busy in the Central Southern region.
Frans appealed to members of the community to be cooperative and to bear with the survey team as they could also be visited during the evenings.
The results of the survey are expected by the end of September. - Nampa

THE NAMIBIAN
NAMIBIA goes' Danisn: 'Ban~a' Shelmpe -(right) and other memberS of Omukwetu entertain the crowds in Copenhagen.
Homework on homeground to develop Namibian theatre "NAMIBIAN theatre needs to investigate its own roots. We're at the start of building something important but we have to look back and make sure we know what the foundations are about." '
'Banana' Shekupe, an actor with the National Theatre of Namibia (N'IN), had been given plenty to think about during a recent tour to Denmark as part of the 'Omukwetu' cultural exchange.
A group of Danish actors ' came to Windhoek earlier this year and worked on several projects with seven Namibian actors. During the two-month return visit, the Dapish and Namibian actors performed further versions of their joint efforts and worked with schools and community groups._
Shekupe, who joined Unity Olivier, Lucky Pieter, Albert Appies Albert and David Ndjaverua for the trip to Denmark, said the experience had generated lots of ideas to work on back home. He had been impressed, but fortunately not
KAlE BURLING
bowled over, by working with the Danish group.
"It was definitely a twoway process and it was good to see we had plenty to teach the European group, "
ENERGY
He said the Danish actors drew a lot on the energy, vitality and unconventional work of the Namibian group. " We often surprised ourselves by what we could do when a perfonnance began."
For his part, he felt strengthened by the exposure to more disciplined forms of rehearsal. Though Namibian theatre benefited from the impromptu energy of its performers, that was no excuse for not rehearsing properly, he, said. "I think we tend to be a bit lazy, and it was helpful to see the way very experienced actors rely on sheer, day-to-day hard work. "
Their Danish counterparts had also been fascinated by the
songs, dances, use of instruments, clapping and stamping of Namibia's traditional performing arts. "It gave them new possibilites for dance expression and built up a lot of excitement. ' ,
Whenever the Namibian actors began dancing, the crowds started fonning, he said. "It made me appreciate what a powerful art form we have. I became even more interested in researching our own traditions. "
WAYS OF SEEING
At present, Shekupe is workmg on new ways of presenting Namibian dances and traditions to an audience. "The performances were originally meant for community participation -something to join in with rather than to show. If you put them on stage, you have to find a way of letting everyone see them, which means breaking the dancers' 'traditional line. "
Though he enjoyed the overseas experience, Shekupe was glad to be back and was keen to get down to hard work for Namibian theatre.
"It was enough to be given a helping hand, but now we need to concentrate on our 'homework'," he said. "We've got a lot to do, building up our own pool of actors and directors, so that we're not always reliant on foreign directors. ' ,
Full of enthusiasm for the task, Shekupe spoke with infectious excitement. "I want to challenge myself when it comes to culture in a way that will entertain and involve other people. If we want to get together as a nation, culture is one of the best vehicles to travel in."
'" Shekupe has now begun collecting information on Namibia's traditional dance and song styles with a view to forming a national cultural group. Individuals or groups who perform traditional, cultural material (including white Namibians) are asked please to contact him on(061) 37955.

Terrifying ordeal for
grandmother DURBAN: An 87·year·old grandmother drifted aboard a life raft for nine hours in stormy seas bleed· ing from a wound on her head which she sustained after being lowered in the raft from the foundering Oceanos.
It's a miracle! 571 saved in sea rescue
Maria Smyth, the grandmother of one of the hostesses aboard the Greek cruise liner, was recovering from her ordeal in a Durban hotel yesterday morning.
A TFC Tours hostess who accompanied Smyth in the life raft , Lynne Greig, said Smyth " never complained once", during her nine hours of hell.
She said Smyth sustained the injury after a chain which had lowered her life raft knocked her on her head as it swung in gale-force winds.
According to other passengers on the raft, Smyth was "bleeding all night" and did not have a blanket to keep her warm in the icy conditions.
Greig said, however, that Smyth did not complain at all, even during terrifying conditions as the small raft constantly smashed into the side of a massive vessell which was trying to. rescue them.
Smyth only received proper medical attention when she arrived at Durban harbour early yesterday. - Sapa.

JOHANNESBURG: Not one person had died in the Oceanos ship disaster oft' the Transkei coast on S~day, lFC tours • which had chartered the luxury vessel • confirmed yester· day evening.
"You will agree that a miracle has happened here," the company's marketing director, Paul Levine, told a Johannesburg news conference.
He said all 571 people listed on the ship's manifest had been rescued, and although a ship's steward, Mourikas Haralambos, had not reported to. the authorities, TFC knew he was safe on shore.
Levine appealed to the stew. ard to report his whereabouts.
Eight other people, most of them crewmen, had alSo. initially failed to report to authorities, but their safety had later been confirmed.

26 TFC staffers had been rescued in the massive operation.
All figures had been confumed .and cross-checked by SA Airways Captain Deon Storm, who had spearheadied the airways' emergency contrQl centre at Jan Smuts Aifport.
"We have worked in record time. There are so many people and organisatiQns that have to be thanked.
The whole operatiQn was carried out quite remarkably, " Levine said, adding that his CQmpany WQuld reward those who. had shQwnbravery during the rescue effort.
Despite the disaster, TFC WQuld continue chartering vessels from the Epitikiros Steamship Navigation Company, the owner Qfthe ill-fated Oceanos. "We have every confidence in Epitikiros lines, and our association with them goes back many years," Levine said.

It is understood the South African Government will head the inquiry in co-operation with Transkeian authorities.
Questioned on the alleged miscQnduct of the Oceanos captain and crew, Levine said it was not his place to comment.
He was also nQt prepared to. comment on the cause Qf the sinking, saying he WQuld be "IQath to do so and that speculation in this regard WQuld be highly irresponsible".

DALJ, Yugoslavia: The clash between Croatian police and national guards and rebel Serbs in Dalj, a village of about 7 500 people on breakaway Croatia's border with the rival republic of Serbia, was the bloc Jiest battle in Yugoslavia since World War II.

A bakery which had housed a Croatian machine gun nest had an overpowering stench of blood and sour milk.
My tennis shoes stuck to thick gore as I walked through the house.
Trails of blood criss-crossed the floor amid bread rolls and cakes where wounded baker Pjeter Djeveljkaj and another man had crawled before they died. Blood-spattered pictures of a smiling Djeveljkaj and his two small sons on a beach lay in a pile on a table. A crucifix surrounded by bullet shells lay
on the floor. A scene of greater carnage
awaited me in the local school. Blood stains covered almost !he entire ground floor and blood imprints of hands marked the walls. The Serbs said most of the CrQats in the school had made a desperate last stand in an indoor basketball court.
The .court's woodblock floor was ripped up by bullets and shreds of uniforms and boots, including one full of congealed blood·, were strewn about.
A stream of blood led from the basketball court to the main lobby, where the bodies of the guardsmen were later dragged and piled in a heap.
The facade and most of the interior of the school were shattered. Doors, glass, sinks, toilet bowls, sneakers and gym shorts were strewn in the CQrridors with thousands of spent cartridges and the remains of mortar bombs. - Reuter.

INTERNATIONAL WRAP-UP
Iraq admits to germ warfare BAGHDAD: Iraq revealed yesterday it had conducted germ warfare research but said it stopped experiments in the second half of 1990, before the start of the Gulf War.
A UN team hunting for evidence of a biological weapons programme had been in Iraq for two days before the revelation became public through a foreign ministry statement published in Iraq' s state-run newspapers.
Bonn to recognise Balkans? BONN: Germany, fearing that bloodshed in Yugoslavia could bring a flood of refugees and blightits economy, raised a prospect yesterday of recQgnising the Balkan state's breakaway republics Qf Croatia and Slovenia.
Veteran· foreign minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher and other government leaders also called for a United Nations Security Council role in the Yugoslav crisis.
A spokesperson for vacationing Chancellor Helmut Kohl accused Serbia, Yugoslavia 'S biggest republic, of blocking European CQmmunity efforts to halt fighting between Serbs and Croats.
"If the Serbian leadership does not compromise, the EC will have to draw conclusions. These could include economic sanctions," spokesperson Norbert Schaefer told reporters.

Colonel Aboubakar Dada, -who arrived in Gambia on Sunday, takes the top army post from Colonel Ndaw Njie. who resigned in June under pressure from soldiers who refused to follow orders.Much of the dissent in Gambia ' s army is linked to protests frQm 60 of Gambian soldiers who ~laim they were not been paid fQr time served with the ECOMOG force sent to enforce a ceasefire in Liberia's civil war.
Mubarak visits Gaddafi CAIRO: President Hosni Mubarak returned to Egypt yesterday after a surprise overnight visit to Tripoli for talks with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, Egypt ' s Mena news agency said.
Mubarak and Gaddafi discussed US-led effQrts to convene a Middle East peace cQnference and bilateral relations, it said.
Diplomats said the visit appeared to be intended to persuade Gaddafi to take a positive stance on the US-led peace drive and to intercede with Palestine Liberation Organisation leader Yasser Arafat. .
Gang warfare feared in London LONDON: Police said yesterday they feared a double murder by masked gunmen in a crowded London pub could signal all-Qut gang warfare on the streets of Britain' s capital.
The Mafia-style slayings, police sources said, could be part of a power struggle· to contrQl prostitution, protection and drugs rackets.
Two gunmen in ski-masks burst into The Bell public house in south London on Saturday night spra~g bullets across the bar.
Police believe the target was 23-year-old DavidJ;Jrindle, one of the two men killed. At least eight murders have been linked with London gangs in about a year - few compared with the toll taken by gangland feuds in some US cities.
But police fear the possible return to Britain of scenes of the kind which marked the 1960s when such colourful gangland heavyweights as the Kray twins held sway.
Ronnie and Reggie Kray ran a criminal empire called "The Firm". They mixed in high society until jailed for life in 1969 for murdering Jack " The Hat" McVitie.
The Krays perfected the "Cigarette Punch" to settle scores. They would offer the victim a cigarette to relax him then break his

Maize crisis in Zambia LUANDA: The government plans to privatize Angola's coffee plantations in a bid to regain its position as a · major world producer, a leading official said on Friday.
Secretary of State for Coffee Faustino Muteka said the government had decided to sell 30 large state-11l1l plantations within the next few months.
In 1973 Angola produced 1/ 10 of the world's coffee and was the fourth global exporter.
The state took over most of the plantations in 1975 when Angola gained independence from Portugal and colooial funn owners abandoned the southern African nation.
LUSAKA: Zambia faces a food crisis because reserve maize stocks have virtually been used up, the country's Commercial Farmers Bureau warned on Friday.
Zambia is likely to run out of maize by the end of the year unless urgent measures are taken to save the situation.
In a statement issued in Lusaka, the CFB said the only remedy to prevent a famine was for the government to import maize from overseas, because there was little maize ineastern and southern Africa.
A total of 13 000 tons imported from Zimbabwe, at a cost of 160 million Zambian Kwachas, was considered to be insufficient.
The country needed between nine and 10 million bags of maize for the year, but only 7,1 million bags were expected in
the current grain marketing season.
While recognising importing huge quantities of maize would cost a lot, the CFB said it was the only way to avert an acute maize shortage in Zambia.
Concerning the longer term, it called for plans to ensure enough maize was planted in the coming season so as to meet demand.
"Dependence on food aid must stop," the CFB said. "Zambia can and should produce enough maize for all its needs with a sutplus for export. Action must be taken now to ensure that this happens. "
According to reports from agriculturalists, there was still uncollected maize rotting in the fields.
In Zambia's Parliament on Thursday, the Speaker in the
National Assembly, Fwanyanga Mulikita, instructed the Cooperative Minister, Justin Mukando, to tell the nation about the current maize situation "because it appears alarming". . The CFB condemned the
, controlled mealie meal price because it said it resulted inthe decontrolled producer price being ineffective as' millers could not offer funners the true market price.
The price should be linked instead to the import parity price, if farmers could be assured they would get a proper market price for their maize, the CFB argued.
It recommended profit be reintroduced to maize production, by making adequate fertiliser supplies available because there was a shortage in stocks from overseas. - Sapa.
Attacks by Uoita rebels and mismanagement by the Marxist government led to a rapid decline in coffee production.
Only 4 500 tons were produced last year compared with 241 000 tons in 1973.
Muteka said the sale of plantations will be opened to Angolan and foreign buyers, including members of Uoita.

Recently the govemment has dropped the cornmunist principles applied after independence in favour of a transition to democracy ' and the free market.
Angola's coffee boom took off after Wodd War ll. By the early 1970s 250 000 people worked on 2 500 plantations. -Sapa-AP.
LUSAKA: South Africa's Premier Group has walked away with the award for the best international exhibit at their first appearance at the Zambia Agricultural and Commecal Shw in Lusaka.
Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda presented Premier Group with the award.
Other foreign countries participating included Britain, Germany, United States, Italy, South Korea and Kenya.
Thirty South African companies are taking part for the first time in many years.
Most of them agreed there was tremendous business potential in Zambia.
"The response is very excellent," said Mr John Elliot, of John Elliot and Associates, a security firm in Johannesburg.
"If I had brought adequate stocks, I could have had a rolling business here," he said.
The one problem highlighted
by most South African participants was the limited availability of foreign exchange by Zambian fIrms.
"The potential for business here is enormous, but we don't know how we shall get round the scarcity of foreign exchange problem," Harold Tanchel, of Tool Wholesale, said.
The South African hall has been filled to capacity with visitors since the show opened on Thursday. - Sapa.

MEMBERS of the African National Congress Cultural Ensemble, Amandla, entertained Namibians with some 'Afro-fusion and Marabi' over the weekend. Here, two of the group do the popular and exciting gum-boot dances, which had the audience on the edge of their seats at the National Theatre of Namibia on Friday night.
ALSO causing a lot oflaughter and excitement was this young man, who imitated the 'old Xhosa toppies' oftke 'fifties with their 'knobkieries'.
'REA VY D' was also there. She won a great applause from the crowd for being so mobile and active throughout the show. She advocated the message that South African women had never stood back for the Pretoria regime and would never do so.
SINGING is the fundamental cultural element on which the group's performance is based. Here, three of the group's memhers do it the real way.

Geregtelike ondersoek na
,dood van kind 'n REGSGELEERDE het gister bevestig dat die piaaslike pastoor op Usakos besig is met die insamelingvan fondse om 'n formele geregtelike ondersoek na die dood van Rosalia Namises in te stel.
Rosalia Namises(14) is op Vrydag 12 Julie omstreeks 12hOO in die Hakhasebwoonbuurt op Usakos doodgeskok deurdat sy aan een van die metaaldose wat teen 'n huis aangebring is en waarin die munisipale meterS is, geraak het terwyl sy oor 'n omhein-
_ ingsdraad spring. Die bevinding van die dokters
by die lykskouing van die dogtertjie was dat sy werklik aan elektriese skok gesterfhet. Die lykskouing _ sou aanvanklik op Usakos gehou word maar 'n onathanklike dokter kon dit nie bywoon nie ~n die gesin was nie daarmee tevrede nie. Daarom is 'n beroep op die patoloog op Usakos gedoen om nie die lykskouing te hou op 'n plek waar 'n onafhanklike dokter dit nie kail. bywoon nie. Die gemeenskap wou ·
graag be dat 'n onatbanklike persoon die nadoodse ondersoek behartig.
Die regsgeleerde waarmee gepraat is se hy het die gevoel dat 'n prima facie saak van nalatigheid teen die munisipaliteit bestaan.
Ongelukkig kan die onder--soek nie sonder fondse gedoen word nie en die pastoor op Usakos is verantwoordelik vir die vind daarvan.
Die Hakhaseb-woonbuurt op Usakos ~t oogeveer agt maande gelede 'n nuwe rioolstelsel ontvang en een van die afleidings wat deur inwoners gemaak word is dat 'n kragdraad met
-die uitgrawings oopgelaat is en aan die omheining of die meterdoos geraak het.
Pastoor lames Tjibeba op U sakos kon gister nie vir kommentaar opgespoor word nie.
U raandiefstal DRIE dromme uraanoksied, elk met 'n gewig van ongeveer 370 kilogram, is oor die naweek by die Rossingmyn gesteel. Dieoksied het geen waarde vir die dief nie maar kan gevaarlik vir die gesondheid wees.
Die diewe het by 'n stoor van die myn ingebreek. Die uraan is op 'n bakkie gelaai wat later in in Windhoek gevind is.
U raanoksied is ligtelik radioaktief maar giftig. Werkers by die myn is opgelei om daarmee te werk en maak ten alle tye van veiligheidsklere gebruik waneer hulle daarmee werk.
Die dromme met die Oksied is veilig solank hulle toegehou word maar kan gevaarlik wees vir die gesondheid indien dit deur onopgeleide persone oopgemaak word.
Dr. Steve Kesler, Bestuurder van die Rossing-myn, het gister daarop gewys dat die
urllflD- deur verskeie prossesse moet gaan alvorens dit as kembrandstof gebruik kan word. Dit het geen waarde in die huidige vorm nie en is ook nutteloos vir die dief.
Die saakworddeurdiepolisie mdersoek en 'n beroep word gedoen op enige lid van die publiek wat iets van die diefstal weet om hul naaste polisiekantoor in kennis te stel.
Die dromme is swart met reeksnommers wat daarop uitgedruk is en het ook 'n waarskuwingsteken dat dit radio-aktief is op.
Enige persoon wat die polisie kan help om die dromme terug te kry sal daarvoor beloon word.

Roboeste 'n turksvy D~E Namibian Anii!tal Action Committ~ het verlede Donderdag op 'n noodvergaderingsy kommer uitgespreek oor die stand punt van die regering om nog voort te gaan met die oes. van robbe op die land se kuste.
~ ~ .. DieNAACwil 'nberoepop
die regering doen om sy standpunt te oordink in die lig van negatiewe publisiteit wat dit moontlik in die internasionale gemeenskap tot gevolg kanhe.
Die NAAC se lrulle is bekommerd oor die negatiewe gevolge wat verlede jaar se oes tot gevolg gehad het en vra van die regering om sy besluit le weerhou tot meer wetenskaplike inligting oor die aangeleentheid beskikbaar sal wees.
Die liggaam glo_ dat die
Ministerie van Seevisserye verkeerde inligting oor die oes van robbe ootvang ~t en beskryf hierdie daad as 'n poging tot ekonomiese sabotasie. Die oes van robbe sal volgens die komitee tot gevolg he dat die land as een van die ergste misbruikers van wildlewe bestempel kan word en dit sal 'n negatiewe invloed op die toerisinebedryf he.
Die verklaring se voorts dat hierdie optrede deur die regering onnodige steun sal gee aan die anti-karakoel bewegings wat
DIE Khomasdal Baptist Church het nog nie daarin geslaag om genoeg fondse in te samel vir die voltooiing van sy geboue nie. Die kerk het vroee vanjaar in die media gevra vir die publiek om hulle te ondersteum met geldelike bydraes vir die voltooiing van die gebou.
Die reaksie wat op die berigte ontvang is, is gister deur Pastoor Abrahams as goed beskryf maar dit kon nog nie die kerkin staat stel om alles af te handel nie.
Die kerk was verplig om weens 'n tekort aan fondse 'n tydelike dak vir die gebou op te rig.
Die gebou is beplan om 'n dubbelverdieping te wees en sal sewe klaskaffiers he waarin vir'ncrecheen 'ndagskool vir straatkinders voorsiening gemaak sal word.
Die kerkhet
,om na fondse in die buiteland te soek aangesien daar nie genoeg plaaslik ingesamel kon wordnie. -
Die posbus van die kerk is 20590 en enige persoon of instansie kanhul bydraes daarheen stuur.
Die vert roue word uitgespreek dat die kerk se nood in 'n positiewe lig gesien sal word en die kerk wil ook sy dank uitspreek vir bydraes wat dusver ontvang is en wat nog moontlik in die toekoms ontvang sal word.
Skoen nog soek DIE telefoonnommer van die huis waar die verlore skoen oorhandig moet word is gister verkeerdelik aangegee en moes eintlik 217152 wees. Die skoen het verlede Saterdag in die riviertjie tussen Club Thriller en die Auas Primere Skool verlore geraak. Die eienaar van die skoen het die handelsmerk van die skoen as 'n Dakota aangegee. Indien die skoen gevind word kan dit ook by DhoUam 16/57 oorhandig word.

Dit word verder te kenne gegee dat Suid-Afrika verplig was om weens internasionale diuk sy roboeste stop te sit tot meer wetenskaplike inligting daaroor beskikbaar is.

Tottenham Hotpsur , to . the Italian club Lazio has been completed.
The transfer, reported to be worth 8,8-million dollars, was finalized on Thursday night in London by Spurs managing director Terry Venables and his Lazio counterpart Carlo Regalia.
Under the deal, Gascoigne will join . Lazio for the 1992-93 season if he shows
he is fully recovered from a serious knee injury suffered during the English FA Cup final in May..
Tottenham officials said Gascoigne will undergo a fitness test on May 31,1992.
Gascoigne, known in England as 'Gazza', could still play for Tottenham this season if rehabilitation goes well on his right ' knee, in which the ~terior cruciate ligament was torn in Spurs 2-1 extra time cup victory over Nottingham Forest. Newspaper reports suggest he could be back in action before the end of the year.

HOLMESQUIT FALKIRK
FALKIRK'S build-up to their first season in the Scottish Premier Division was rocked on Saturday by the resignation of chairperson David Holmes.
Holmes, the former Glasgow Rangers chief, would not comment on his reasons for leaving, but he is believed to be unhappy over the way the club is being run.
Bonuses promised for winning promotion have not been paid to some players and a number have still not accepted terms, includhlgSimon Stainford, Derek McWilliams, Peter Hetherston, Peter Godfrey and Gordon Marshall.
Now Celtic have made a bid to sign Marshall and he was supposed to decide his future over the weekend.
Teenage defender Gary Smith has already joined Aberdeen. The 19-year-old's fee is likely to be decided by a transfer 'tribunal, as Falkirk want 250000 pounds and Aberdeen have offered only 70 000 pounds.

Holyfield heads list of top sports earners
NEW YORK: Heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield will earn 60,5 million dollars this year to displace former champion Mike Tyson as the higbest-paid athlete in the world, according to Forbes magazine.
The financial publication, in a cover story forits August 19 issue, reported in its' annual list of the "Super 40" highestpaid athletes that Tyon would make 31,5 million dollars. Holyfield's rise, from 10th position in 1990, was far more dramatic than Tyson's fall to second. Both are Americans.
Third on the list was Michael Jordan of the NBA champion Chicago Bulls, who the magazine estimates will make 16 million dollars in 1991. On that total, 13,2 million dollars will come from endorsements. Jordan is the only athlete from a team sport to be listed among the 10 highest paid.
Former champion George Foreman entered the list at fourth while Razor Ruddock came in at seventh as heavyweight boxers occupied four of the top seven spots. Foreman will earn 14,5 million dollars and Ruddock 10,2 million dollars. Both are Americans.
Unlike most of the top 40, the boxers make virtually all their money in salary or earnings. Among them. only Tyson, at 1,5 million dollars , has a seven-figure endorsement.
Formula One race drivers Ayrton Senna of Brazil and Alain Prost of France occupy the fifth and sixth positions, and Nigel Mansell of Britain is ninth. Golfers Arnold Palmersecond to compatriot Jordan with endorsements totaling 9 million dollars of his 9,3 million dollars income - and fellow American Jack Nicklaus -who makes all but 500 ()()() dollars of his 8,5 million dollars away from the course -
round out the top 10. Senna will make 13 million,
Prost 11 million and Mansell9 million dollars. The magazine estimates the drivers will make one million dollars each through endorsements.
The highest-salaried athlete from a team sport is Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics, who because of his contract structure will earn 7,4 million dollars. Another 500 000 dollars in endorsements puts him 11th on the overall list.
Tennis player Monica Seles of Yugoslavia is 12th with 7,6
million dollars, of which 6 million comes from endorsements.
Joe Montana of the San Francisco 4gers makes the most of any football player, 7,5 million dollars to stand 13th on the list.
Canadian Wayne Gretzky of the Los Angeles Kings, 19th on the list with 7 million dollars, leads hockey players in earnings.
Two-sport star Bo Jackson is 31st with 4,5 million dollars, 2,5 million from endorsements and the rest from his
baseball and football contracts. Baseball's biggest earner is
Darryl Strawberry of the Los Angeles Dodgers, 34th on the list at 4,3 million dollars.
Also at that figure is threetime Tour de France cycling championGreg LeMond of the United States, who makes 2,5 million dollars away from the circuit, even though his finish was disappointing this year.
Tennis has the most earners on the list with nine. Basketball players occupy seven spots and auto racers six.

Sampdoria beat Arsenal in hard fought match
LONDON: Italian title-holders Sampdoria retained the Makita trophy here on Sunday after a stormy victory in the (mal over English champions Arsenal.
The Genoa club edged out Arsenal 3-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw over the 90 minutes. But striker Renato BusoSaturday's four-goal hero against West Ham - was sent off for elbowing Arsenal skipper Tony Adams after 55 minutes.
The 21-year-old then appeared to be spoken to by police after gesturing to the Highbury crowd as he went down the tunnel.
Sampdoria coach Vujadin Boskov leapt to Buso's defnce.
''There was a clash of two players in the air," he said .• 'I don't think my player deserved to be sent off. Both players went in with maximum force. It was an athletic clash. These things happen. ' ,
Ten-man Sampdoria cancelled out Paul Merson's 18th minute tap-in with a brilliant bicycle-kick goal in the 69th minute from star striker Gianluca Vialli to send the final
into a shoot-out. Lee Dixon and David Hillier
both scored, but misses from Perry Groves, Paul Davis and Michael Thomas condemned the Gunners to defeat against the Italians in the final for the second year running.
To add to their disappointment, winger David Rocastle, in fine form in this tournament, crashed to the ground in the 68th minute' after a challenge from Vialli and was helped off with what looked like a hand injury.
Greek double winners Panathinaikos claimed third place in the tournament with another 3-2 penalty success over English first division new boys West Ham.
Misses from the spot by Ian Bishop, Simon Livett and Martin Allen proved decisive as Demitris Saravakos netted the last penalty to give the Greeks victory.
However, the Hammers sal-
vaged some respect after Saturday's slaughter by putting up a much-improved performance, holding Panathinaikos to 1-1 in normal time.
George Parris gave the Hammers a 43rd minute lead with his second goal of the tournament, blasting home from 15 yards.
Panathinaikos, unlucky 1-0 losers to Arsenal on Saturday, hit back to level the scores in the 69th minute, substitute Costas Antoniou slotting home from the edge of the box.
Hammers manager Billy Bonds confirmed that' he had made enquiries for Liverpool's fonner Millwall winger, Jimmy Carter. - Sapa AFP.

BEARDSLEY JOIN EVERTON
LIVERPOOL'S England striker Peter Beardsley joined city rivals Everton for 1,6-million pounds.
He was only the fifth player in the last 30 years to move between the Merseyside clubs. All the previous four have been sold byLiverpool to the less glamorous Everton.
Beardsley, 30, became surplus to requirements at Anfield when Liverpool signed Welsh international Dean Saunders for 4,64-million pounds from Derby.
"Everton made an offer, Liverpool accepted and I am more than delighted to be here," said Beardsley after signing a three-year contract with Everton boss Howard Kendall.
''I don't feel I will be under any pressure and certainly I won't have any problem such as moving house."
Kendall had hoped to sign Saunders, but after losing out to Liverpool, homed in on Beardsley instead for his first major signing of the close season.-Reuter.
COLIN CLINCH SCAN MASTERS
COLIN Montgomerie held off Seve Ballesteros and lan Woosnam with a 67 on Sunday to win the Scandinavian Masters, Europe's second richest golf tournament.
It was the finest career victory for the 28-year-old Scot, who came looking for a top 10 finish to clinch a berth on Europe's Ryder Cup team.
Montgomerie, whose win sealed a Ryder Cup berth against the United States at Kiahwah Island, South Carolina, on September 27-29, won his first European Tour event in Portugal in 1989.
Montgomerie, who trailed Woosnam by four shots overnight, had a 72-hole of 270, 18 under par on Drottningholm's 6,165-metre course.
Ballesteros, a three-time winner in Sweden, finished runner-up one stroke be~d. The Spaniard closed with a 64 that vaulted from 23rd overnight. He retained his No 1 spot on the Eyropean money-winning list.
Montgomerie collected 115000 dollars for his second European Tour victory.

CONRAD ANGULA
A GOAL apiece from defender Ngenny Emvula and second half substitute Kiki Gaseb against a gutsy Prime Press Liverpool at Okahandja placed former leaders Eleven Arrows back on top -of the tough Rossing Premier League table.
Ngenny got his goal in the first half from a beautiful move which involved national midfielder Elifas Shivute who put him through with a little 'aw>two' to blast the ball home from 25 yards.
Second half substitute Kiki Gaseb put the matter beyond doubt for the coastal side when he netted the second from a spot kick after an over robust tackle from Bimbo Tjihero inside the penalty area.
The harbour town outfit can not rest on their laurels as they lead former leaders Ramblers, who drew I-all against Nashua Black Africa last weekend, by me point at 32 from 23 matches.
Pepsi African Stars, who replaced Chief Santos at the third spot with a fine victory (3-1) over Robber Chanties at Khorixas before they drew 2-all to Golden Bees at Outjo, are another threat to the leaders. The Pepsi Boys have now collected 31 points from 25 matches, one match more then Chief Santos who are now in fourth place on 30 points.
Santos lost 0-1 to Civics, their seCond loss to the Khomasdal outfit in succession, before they finally forced Sorento Bucs to a 1-1 draw 'at the Ramblers field on Sunday.
Liverpool, despite their unexpected loss to Arrows at home, added two points on Saturday by defeating the struggling Interatlantic Blue Waters 2-1.
The Okabandja lads now have 29 points from 25 matches, two more then sixth-placed Black Africa who could only managed to collect one point from two matches at the weekend.
The I.,ively Lions clearly had their minds on the Castle Classic cup clash against Sorento Bucs who also failed to impress against Chief Santos.
The champions lost 4-3 to SW A Toyota Young Ones on Saturday after being 4-1 behiD.d at one stage but seemed to recaptured their fine form against Ramblers on Sunday who were lucky to collect a point.

THE Tertiary Institute Sports Association (Tisan) recently took part in the World Student' s Games held in Sheffield, United Kingdom, and recommended its continued participation in future games.
Tisan to compete internationally lege Sp orts Association (Cucsa) to work towards future student sport development in Africa.
He announced that the Cucsa games were scheduled for September u;:.28 in Windhoek and that all the Zone 6 member countries had confirmed their willingness to participate.
Tisan chairperson. KO,bus Kotze said to make this possible the Namibian National Sports Council (NSC) should continue their financial support of Tisan.
Kotze told Nampa that although Tisan's athletes did not m.anage to earn any medais, they neejled to gain more international competition., ''Our s~udentsare new
, to the competition and did not know what was happen-
ing and therefore need more exposure," he said.
He added that the athletes were motivated and given time they would prove to be good ambassadors.
Kotze said the tertiary institutions should provide facilities for training and support, saying that this cO'Jld
, be done by assessq students by way of using available training facilities.
He added that the National
Olympic Committee (NOC) should invest in standardised electronic measuring equipment to enable Tisan to assess their athletes' performances more accurately.
He said this was necessary as the local athletes compete against students elsewhere ,who ,use electronic measur. ing equipments.
He added tl)at Tisan should 31so be ,assisted with professional coaches.
Kotze said there wBs a need for Tisan to become a full member of the International University Sports Federatio.n
. (Fisu), adding that aft'lliating to an International federation needed funds to enable his organisation to attend meetings.
He pointed out that Tisan's involvement in the World Students Games known internationally as Universiade enabled it to make contacts
with the management of Ftsu, which bad indicated their wi1lingness ,to support Tisan in future development.
Tisan also managed to make ' contacts with trainers of all the 111 countries who took part in the Universiade and it can benefit from this as far as coaching is concerned.
In addition, he said it was necessary for Tisao as a member oftbe Zone SIx Coodeftration of University and Col-
The competition will include four different sports codes namely, soccer, rugby, netball and volleyball. Swimming and basketball games are scheduled for December in Maputo, Mozambique while the athletics event will be held in Harare, Zimbabwe next year in April.
