Fapla accused of killing a Natnibian
OSWALD SHIVUTE AT OSHAKATI
THREE Angolan Fapla soldiers have been arrested and are being
held at Ondangwa after a Namibian citizen was shot and killed by
Fapla soldiers in eastern Namibia on-Tuesday.
The incident was confirmed last night by the police chief of
liaison and relations in the north, Chief Inspec-tor Josef Anghuwo.
.
According to Anghuwo, the murder took place at Onghwiyu village
in the K wanyama region. The name of the dead man is Noa
Willem.
According to sources, there was a quarrel between the Namibian
and the Aogolan soldiers.
The soldiers left for Angola and came back armed with rifles and
allegedly started shooting undiscrimi-nately at a group of people.
Willem was fatally injured.
NAMIBIAN President Sam Nujoma yesterday started a
"familiarisation tour" of the eastern region. Above:

STAFF REPORTER
THE Council of Churches has been rocked by a scholarship fraud
scandal following the discovery that students studying on CCN
scholarships have two or three bursaries at the same time.
The SCholarships of at least 17 students have been tenni-nated
with inunediate effect, and itis still possible thatotller students
will lose their bursar-ies.
The scandal was fir.;t reported in this month's edition of CCN
Messenger in an interview with CCN scholarship co-ordinator Alfred
Kashume.
Kashume yesterday con-firmed that. those involved in the fraud
include a number of high-ranking officials of the Namibia National
Students Organisation (Nanso).
The students in question wete all full-time students studying
for degrees and diplomas at colleges and universities in South
Africa.
According to Kasbume, these .. tu dents benefited from CCN
s& clarships while receiving bursaries from other
organisa-tions at the same time.
They often received addi-tional bursaries from either the former
Administrations for
Labour Promotions Fund or the Legal Assistence Centre.
To make matters worse, if one sponsor had paid the tui-tion or
boarding fees, some students quite unlawfully cashed CCN cheques
made out to universities for their own use.
Kashume explained that the CCN paid all boarding fees, tuition
fees, book allowances and travel costs for its full-time
students.
In addition, the students received pocket money twice a year -
once in January and then again in July after the mid-year
holidays.
Kashume showed little sympathy for the argument that CCN
scholarships wete per-haps not adequate for students to survive
on.
"It is not true that we don't cover their costs. If a student
needs either RI2 000 or R15 000 to study for one year we pay
that.
"Our aim is not to enrich individual students but to en-
Owambos or Coloureds, the able disadvantaged students to
acquire higher education, and people with two or three
schol-arships are just selfish.
"Others wete given the same amount but they were not in-volved
in the corruption. To say that the money was . not enough is not
good enough, and not at all acceptable to us," he said.
Students studying on CCN bursaries wete furthermore required to
sign a contract in which it was stipulated that they were not
allowed to hold any other bursary simultane-ously.
Kashume said those students with more than one scholar-ship were
fully aware of the fact that they were breaching an agreement they
had entered into.
He made it clear that if stu-dcms felt their scholarships wete
inadequate, they had a perfect right to change to another sponsor,
but they should not hold mote than one bursary at a time.
The CCN received large numbers of applications for scholarshlps,
but they had to turn away many applicants because they did not have
enough funds.
Presently the CCN was spon-soring 169 full-time or part-

TYAPPA NAMUTEWA AT GOBABIS ---A NAMIBIAN citizen, who allegedly
took part in right-wing violence in South Africa last week in which
three right-wingers were killed and at least 56 people injured,
should be arrested and sent back to South Africa to answer for his

JOSEPH MOTINGA
THE Kalahari or Bangologa Tswana Tribe is seeking rec-ognition
as a tnbe • 'on its own".
Up to now they have been known and registered under the
"nicknames" of the tribes among whom they have lived.
Eight men from the Kalahari tribe told The Namibian this week
that they had been op-pressed during the colonial years and now,
with Namibia's in-dependence, wanted to regain their identity.
The men are, Jonas Masaka, Thomas Tokwane, Jacob Chaune, Frans
Mothibi, Moitshepi Masaka, Alois Mathibi, Hubert Ditshabue .and
Mpho B W Shobo.
Thomas Tokwane said the tribe lived around Korridor No 21, 228
kilometers south of Gobabis, in the Aminus dis-trict. The rest of
their people were scattered "all over", and spoke the languages of
the tribes among whom they lived: be they Nama, Herero, San,
Kavango, Damaraor Ovambo.
For this reason it was diffi-cult to determine the numbers of
the Kalahari. But, Tokwane added, this could be established when
they came forward and identified themselves after the
present quest foridentity. The other Tswana tribe, the
Batlhware or Tshwenenge, did not recognise the Kalahari as an
autonomous cultural group and claimed ownership over the Kalahari's
customary court, called the Kgota, Tokwane said.
He said the Kgota, the tribal authority body, was made up of the
Chief (Kgoosi), Head-men (Kgooshaima), and Sec-retary to the Chief
(Mokwal-
eri). This court was responsible
fortheenforcementofmodenn traditiona11aw, transmitting the
tribe's culture to the young, and receiving dignitaries from other
tribes and the Govenn-ment, Tokwane explained.
He added that there were clear cultural and linguistic
differences between the Kalahari and Batlhware Tswana tribes.
The Kalahari now wanted to elect their own leaders to the Kgota
to give guidance in the cultural and traditional norms of the
tribe, he said. Living under "nicknames" did a lot of damage to the
tribe's cul-ture, Tokwane added. The group has appointed Mpho BW
Shobo 'as their spokesperson. Shobo said he would not use
venge-ance but justice in carrying out his duties.

He explained that the situ-ation was slightly different with
part-time or financially assisted students.
With part-time students the CCN only paid tuition fees because
these students were normally employed.
If, however, they were un-employed they were sometimes also
given a book allowance.

Magistrate accused of bias in Sandberg case
JOSEPH MOTINGA AT MARIENTAL A GRASS-ROOTS farm-ers co-operative
at Rundu is angry and bewildered by the decision of food supply
companies to re-ject Namibian produce in favour of South Mrican
imports.
ONE of the accused in the Sandberg Hotel assault trial, Rene
Christoffer Coetzee, yesterday charged that Mari-en t al
magistrate; Clemence H ausiku , was biased and obj ected to being t
r ied by him.
Mariental police had then contacted him by telephone in July to
question him on the incident, he said.
Defence counsel Van den Heever then cross-examined Haarmann on
the nitty-gritties of the alleged assault and de-scriptions of the
tbIee men who had been beaten up. Haarmann told him he could not
remem-ber all the details as he hardly knew the men and the
incident had happened very quickly.
However, the case went ahead as Coetzee ' s defence counsel,
Getbard van den Heever, agreed that the proceedings should
continue.
The court case, which fol-lows the alleged beating up of three
men who asked to be served beer in the hotel's bar in May, has
sparked so much 'interest that even civil servants took the day off
from work to attend yesterday.
When ,the case opened at Ilh30, Van den Heever dealt with
Coetzee' s objections to the magistrate.
He said he could not com-ment on Hausiku 's credibility, but
added that he had nothing against the proceedings going ahead.
The first witness, Claudia Nielandt, was not called for
cross-examination by defence counsel Van den Heever as they lost
the chance to ques-tion her between 09hOO and lOhOO. Nielandt had
to leave to return to Germany yester-day.and the defence team tumld
up late.
Piet van Heerden who with-drew as defence counsel for Coetzee on
Monday, sat next
to Van den Heever whispering in his ear from time to time.
State ProcecutOl' Joban Jooste told The Namibian later that this
was inline with legal prac-tice provided that the client did not
object. Van den Heever said Van Heerden was not handling the
caSe.
Jooste took over from State Prosecutor Britz on Monday
on'instructions from the Prose-cutor-General.
Jooste started cross-exam-ining a certain Haarmann, one of the
witnesses, iWout the tbIee men who were allegedly as-saulted.
Haatmann said when a Ser-geant Viljoen had aInved at the scene
of the alleged assault he had neither given a descrip-tion of the
barman to the police nor had the police asked for it.
Further, the police had taken no written statements from
witnesses on the night of the incident as they had had to catch a
train to Okahandja.
Haarmann added that the police had promised to write out the
statement afterwards. He had made a written state-ment to the
police at Okabandja.
Inspector Blaauw of the
He added ~ bad been shocked by the incident, which he had not
expected to happen in an independent country.
Van den Heever then charged that Haarmann was lying ifhe could
not say whether it was Coetzee or the other barman who lllld
started the beating" and couldnot describe the men
, who had been beaten up. He then asked for the case to
be postponed to September 6, the date when Haarmann is due ~o go
back to Germany.
The court however decided that the case should take place on
September 3 and 4.
The Salem vegetable proj-ect claims it Was encouraged to grow a
variety of vegetables, with the promise that its goods would be
bought to supply schools and hospitals with food.
But now, v.:ith some 40 hec-tares of cabbages, onions, car-rots
and tomatoes ready for
, sale, the co-operative has found itself stranded.
Food distn'bution companies Namibia Food Supplies and Alpine
have decided to con-tinue with contracts which import'vegetables
from Cape. Speaking from Rundu yester-day, Faustinus Wakudumo a
committee member of Salem, said the co-operative had found its
markets blocked by sudden refusals to buy a ready crop of
cabbages.
"The cabbages are perfectly good, but the companies don't want
them. If we can'1 sell

During yesterday's hearing a senior Sea Fisheries inspector told
the Windhoek High Court that while escorting the Spanish vessels
caught in Namibian wa-ters h~ had never been informed of an urgent
order by the Cape Provincial Supreme Court re-stra~ing them from
forcing the vessels out of South African waters.
Iohan Van Rhyn said the first time he had been informed of the
order was when he arrived at Liideritz two days later.
The case follows a'high seas drama in March when three Spanish
vessels trawling ille-gally in Nllmibian waters were arrested after
trying to escape Namibian authorities.
While the Namibian authori-ties were still trying to persuade
the Spaniards to sail to Liideritz, a controversial urgent order

Pension power to help kids A WINDHOEK pensioner, who
success-fully raised enough money to send Na-mibian
liver-transplant patient Elretha Genzto England for treatment four
years ago, is on the fund-raising trail again.
Franz Krauser, who could not bear to see young Elretha suffer
for want of funds, said watching Namibia 's street kids go hungry
is just as hard to swallow.
Yesterday, he appealed to all those who gave money to E1retha
and to other Namibians who don't wantto stand idly by, to help
"Save our Street Kids".
"It's just a matter of sending some food -mealie pap, rice,
anything they can afford - to the Kalahari Sands kitchens every
month where it can be used to make nutritious meals for hungry
children," said Krauser.
He himself had been sending food to the kitchens on a monthly
basis, and said it was
essential to keep the supplies rolling in. He had spoken to
Kalahari Sands chef, Sydney
Bond, who has been co-ordinating efforts on behalfofthe street
children since early this year. "They can carry on cooking the
meals as long.as there's something to cook," said Krauser. " If
everyone pitches in, the kids need never have empty stomachs. It
should be everyone' s re-sponsiblity to help disadvantaged
children. "
Anyone wanting to help the campaign should simply take their
contributions round to the hotel, he went on. "If they can't manage
to get there, they can always phone me and I can arrange for
som~one to pick it up. ' ,
Krauser said he had organised with Home Guard Security Service
to collect food from people unable to get to the hotel. "It will be
taken straight round to the kitchens and defi-nitely put to good
use he said.
Krauser can be reached on (061) 38700.

them for use in schools and hospitals, all we are left with is
selling on the streets."
The co-operative would not be able to sell all its cabbages in
this way, said W akudumo. They would either have to be sold for
very low prices or be left to rot.
HARD WORK
He said the co-operative was started three or four years ago and
now had about 34 mem-bers. "The land always used to be common land
but in about 1971 the people were moved off because the government
wanted to develop it."
However, the community organised itself to get the ground back
with the assistance of German money which paid for aninigation
scheme. After years of organisation, the co-opera-tive was now able
to produce a healthy crop of vegetables, he said.
"We have been encouraged to grow vegetables by the new
Government. In fact when President SamNujoma visited th; area in
April, he said that's what we should be doing. Now we have
fulfilled th,at aim, we' have nowhere to sell our goods."
He blamed the food compa-nies and local government officials
who, in his view, were not supporting Rundu people in their efforts
at self-suffi-ciency. "The government has contracts with these big
com- . panies who already have agree-ments with South African food
producers. They could apply pressure for change. "
He said Agricultural Direc-tor Peter Horn had seen' the cabbages
for himself and was doing little to argue the co-operative's case
with the food companies.
But Hom said the matter was not so simple. "It's not the
government' s duty to supply markets for a co-operative. 'All we
can do is mediate. "
He argued that " cents count" to a businessman, who would
alway choose the cheapest al-'ternative. "If that happens to be
South Africa, then that 's the way it is . ..
COMPETITION
Hom said he did not wish to defend the big companies against the
small farmer, but stressed the importance of quality, price and
continuity of supply in the competition
. for markets. "I understand that the co-
operative thought there was some kind of promise to buy their
cabbages, but I never managed to get on top of that story. "
He said he did not know what the farmers would do with their
unwanted produce, and that the people involved must get to the
bottom of why the vegetables were rejected.
Having seen the cabbages, he said "I would eat them, but maybe
others wouldn't, Maybe they are not the right variety. "
lan Kemp a food buyer in the area for another company, Namfo,
was able to shed some light on the matter.
"Someone from the co-operative came to see me two weeks ago
wanting to sell the cabbages and I went to see them. The problem
was they are the wrong type. "
Kemp said they were "a leafy type of cabbage that people around
here don't know. I am afraid I'll have a lot of wastage if! buy
them." .
He said he was quite willing to buy other cabbages currently
being grown by the co-opera-tive which were the variety he had
always bought. "We buy as much as we can from local farmers, but if
we can't get the type or quantity we want, we
, buy from the Cape." . According to W akumudo,
there was nothing wrong with the cabbages at the co-opera-tive.
" They would be supplied to schools and hospitals and I'm sure the
children would not turn up their noses at the vegetables," he said,
suggest-ing that the decision had more to do with protecting old
sup-ply contracts than anything else.

Above: VIVA THE LAND! A typical scene in the Owambo region,
which is facing serious deforestation. Above right: Various factors
have contributed to environmental prob-lems in the area, including
the war.
DEFOREST A TION was one of the most urgent environ-mental
problems in Namibia, Erastus Awino, the chief ex-tension officer in
the Direc-torate of Agriculture, told school pupils and parents in
the North on Friday.
Ovambo schools fight deforestation
A wino was guest speaker on Albor Day, a day on which trees are
planted, at Mwesbipan-deka High Senior Secondary School.
He told the pupils that Namibia faced the loss ofvalu-able woody
plant species while
it was experiencing bush en-croachment and an increase in
undesirable wood plant spe-cies and soil erosion.
All these problems threat-ened to destroy the economy and
prosperity. While none of these problems had been evi-dent 50 years
ago, A wino noted, the environment had deterio-rated through
overgrazing, ignorance, greed and a desire

for more and rapid population growth.
Awino emphasized that AIbor Day was a very important day which
waullllIked world-wide.
A wino said the aim was to make people more aware of the value
and importance of trees to our environment.
He added that at school level National AIbor Day SeIVed two
putposes. It offered the chance to teach future generations the
value of trees, while tree plant-ing at the school made a great
contribution to the environment.

for implements like the one above, fuel and building homes among
others. Deforestation in the North is also threatening cultural
traditions.
plant life because it is one of the planet's .Hfe systems, ..
Awino said.
He pointed out that plants were primary producers of food and
energy, dyes and . drugs, fibres and timbers and even acted as
filters for cleansing the air which we breathe.
A wino emphasized that de-forestation in the North was taking ·
on larger proportions and also threatened cultural traditions.
High population growth and the resulting "severe chopping down
of trees and bushes, especially for housing and fencing purposes",
was lead-ing to rapid deforestation.
Trees were normally felled to clean land for growing crops -
Onkoko in Oshiwambo; for fuew,ood, for materials for housing and
fencing and for furniture and household im-plements.
A wino said that during the liberation war large areas of
forest, especially in the Kongo area, had been cleared by mili-tary
occupation forces for their own benefit.
Further, rapid growth of the population over the past 50 years
or so had meant that larger numbers of trees had been felled each
year to maintain living standards.
Trees had been unable to produce or regrow at the rate at which
they were being used. As a result large areas of land had become
quite barren.

business entrepreneurs. The envisaged cotton proc-
essing factory would be opened by Katauna Cotton with cotton
being planted by farmers at Hardap, Uanab, Mariental and
Stampriet.
Feasibility studies were being
conducted by the company which would shortly send ex-tension
officers to help farm-ers increase production to a level justifying
the setting up of a factory by March next year, Cronje said: Katuna
Cot-to~ had already held meetings with cotton farmers on the
envisaged project, he added.
Cronje said the first phase of constructing the factory would
cost R15 million alone, while R3 million would be needed for casual
labour. The factory would cover an area of 7 hec-
tares and employ 150 workers. In September Mariental
would celebrate Cotton Farm-ers' Day, Cionje said
To add to the development drive, the Ministry of Agricul-ture
was planning an export abattoir for Mariental, while the Meat
Cotporation had al-ready opened an office there, he said.
"Mariental has been half asleep but is slowly shak-ing offits
slumber," the Town Clerk observed.
He emphasized that devel-opment projects were neces-
sary to provide the money for creating services and recrea-tion
facilities and to curb un-employment.
A sewage system for Aima-blaagte was a priority, Cronje pointed
out. That alone would cost the municipality Rl,25m for which it was
hoping it would get a favourable response from the Ministry of
Local Govern-ment and Housing.
The Town Clerk added that he was satisfied that people were
regaining confidence in Mariental.
sheep had aggravated the situ" ation, causing excessive
tram-pling and grazing in areas of new growth.
A wino said that in Owambo deforestation had become so serious
that villagers now used cattle dung as fuel for cooking fuel. He
said this was a very bad practice as it robbed the soil of valuable
fertilizer, leaving it less able to support life.
"We must plant trees to clothe the world in green. mak-ing towns
and the landscape friendlier. to provide places for children to
play, to provide shade fOI-man and beast, to pro-tect us agahtst
storms and winds," Awino said . ..
He explained that trees .were a living base for many animals,
produced oxygen, provided food for man and animals, pro-vided
timber, were raw materials for paper and clothing, provided wood
for pencils and matches. . A wino said the process of
de-forestation was a vicious cycle. It resulted in increased
run-off during rain storms, the soil ab-sorbing less water and
increased water and wind erosion of top-soil. Further, the loss of
trees exposed the land to more sun-light and the soil became drier
and less fertile.
Awino told the pupils that world-wide, natural habitats were
deteriorating at an alarm-
. ing rate. It had been calculated that two
plant species in the world be-came extinct every day and that as
many as 40 000 could disap-pear within the next 50 years unless
drastic preventive meas-ures were taken. .
In conclusion, Awino con-.gratulated the head of Gabriel Taapopi
Senior Secondary School, Josia Udjombala, and her teachers and
students, for organizing Arbor Day 1991 for the area and for
planting trees at their schools. He appealed to other schools to
follow "this very good example" .
Awino said Namibians could help the forest to recover by
es-tablishing timber plantations, espec~ally , for fuel, building
matenals aqd handcrafts.
Wood ~o'uld be used more ef-ficiently by using fuel-efficient,
wood burning stoves imd ovens. Wood could be saved by using
alternative fuels such as bio gas. electricity and solar energy and
building materials such as clay bricks. Degraded natural wood-land
could be helped to recover by protecting the land from live-stock,
Awino said.

Awe bury their dead - ,
ORKNEY: Two right-wing Mrikaners killed in a clash with police
were buried amid symbols of white supremacy yester-
. day, lauded by thousands of mourners as martyrs for "our South
Africa".
Jacobus Conradie, a 32-year-old butcher, and Andries
Badenhor.st, a 37-year-old primary school teacher, were described
by speakers at funerals in the gold mining heart-land as the first
white victims of a struggle to retaIn white rule.
The two were among three right-wingers killed on Friday in
running battles with police while attending a protest rally aimed
at disrupting a speech by President FW de Klerk in the right-wing
bastion of Ventersdorp, west of Johannesburg.
In an eulogy at Orkney's Dutch Reformed Church, rightist
Conservative Party parliamentarianPieter Groenewald saId of
Conradie: "He died for what he believed in. He answered the call.
He lived, and died for our South Mrica."
In a cemetery outside Orkney, A WB militants in khaki fatigues
adorned with the movement's swastika-like logo gave astitT-armed
salute over the grave. Many of the all-white crowd broke down as
the coffin was lowered into the earth.
"I never thought I would see such a day but it is a sign of
things to come," said A WB mourner Dante Rademeyer. "We are not
part of this new South Africa, we will not be ruled by blacks." In
Randfonteln, 4 000 mourners and hundreds of school pupils packed
the town hall at a low-key service for Badenhorst. - Reuter

THE NAMIBiAN'
Alexandra declared
unrest area
SA talks should forge 'blueprint for peace'
PRETORIA: Law and Order Minister Adriaan Vlok has declared
Alexandra township an unrest area with immediate effect. The
squalid northern Johannesburg township has been the scene of
renewed violence over the past few days during which atleast 23
people have lost their lives.
JOHANNESBURG: South Africa's main political rivals, tom by years
of murderous conflict, sat down for talks yesterday to 'try to end
the violence.
The African National Con-gress(ANC),theInkathaFree-dom Party and
the South Afri-can government discussed a peace plan forged by a
neutral church-business group.
"(The talks) are a good sign for the future, although one needs
to view them with cau-tious optimism, " said talks co-ordinator Val
Pauquet.
If approved, the plan will be submitted for final endorse-ment
by the three parties and all other political movements affected by
the violence which has killed more than 10000 people in the black
townships since 1984.
The talks will be the first between South Africa 's chief
political protaganists since a slush fund scandal last month
poisoned slowly improving relations.
The government admitted paying Inkatha secret funds to offset
the ANC' s influence in the black townships, a scandal which
sidelined two cabinet
minsters and led the ANC to accuse Inkatha of being the
government's puppet.
But yesterday's talks behind closed doors at a Johannesburg
industrial centre were a sign that a tentative truce had been
forged between the three par-ties.
The proposed plan, expected to be a blueprint for peace in the
townships, calls for a code of conduct for political parties and
the security forces, the identification of socio-eco-nomic problems
and the im-plementation of a monitoring force.
A permanent peace secre-tariat would work with a judi-cial
commission on violence and intimidation which re-formist President
FW de Klerk proposed last June.
An anti-apartheid source said broad agreement had already been
reached on codes of con-duct for se-.;:urity forces and political
parties.
Copies of the proposed ac-cord have been forwarded to other
smaller parties less in-volved in the township car-nage.
It includes a ban on disrupt-ing the activities of political

8 Thursday August 15 1991 . THE NAMIBIAN
CIA links with failed bank W ASIDNGTON: It was the bank of
choice for drug dealers and terrorists. And the same amenities that
attracted criminals to the Bank of Credit and Com-merce
International drew the business of the CIA.
The bank - with branches in 69 countries, strict privacy
controls and loose accounting and auditing practices - was a spy
agency's dream.
Not only did the CIA use BCCI to pay agents, to bank-roll Third
World guerrillas such as the Contras in Nicaragua and to support
routine spying operations, it also used BCCI accounts to track the
terrorists
. and drug traffickers who banked there.
Still, many questions have been raised by the relationship
between the two. The Senate Intelligence Committee is
investigating. CIA Director William Webster has ordered an internal
review 'of the agency's ties with BCC!, and the report soon will be
submit-ted to the congressional over-sight committees.
Banking authorities in eight countries, including the United
States and Britain, closed down BCCI branches after the Bank: of
England revealed on July 5 that an accounting study found as much
as 15 billion dollars had vanished fraudulently through the
Luxembourg-based bank.
The Central Intelligence Agency appelUl to have be-come involved
with BCCI in
. the late 1970s. "We, CIA, used it as anyone would use a bank
... as a way to move money," said the agency's deputy di-rector
Richard Kerr.
"On the other side, we were very aggressively collecting
information against BCCI as a· target of intelligence because it
was a bank: that from the early '80sit was quite obvious it was
involved in illegal ac-tivities such as money laun-dering,
narcotics and ' terror-ism," he said.
Kerr was moved to this
unusual disclosure by news reports that the CIA was either
involved in BCCI's less sa-vory activities or failed to sound the
alarm about them.
The agency says it did noth-ing illegal. And when it found
evidence of wrongdoing, it says it shared that information with law
enforcement authorities in the United States.
But at least in one case, the CIA's information doesn't appear
to have been acted on. A 1986 CIA memo, a portion of which has been
disclosed by Senator John Kerry, said BCCI secretly acquired First
Ameri-can Bankshares Inc., a Wash-ington-based bank holding
company, and Atlanta-based National Bank of Georgia.
Officials of the Federal Reserve, however, say they weren'ttold.
Senate investiga-tors have suggested the CIA wasn't always
forthcoming with its information so as not to jeopardize BCCI
operations it was tracking.
For example, former gov-ernment officials say, the CIA didn't
tell law enforcement agencies all it knew about BCCI's role in
laundering drug profits because it was using the bank to lead it to
drug traffickers.
Still, information supplied by the CIA appears to have
contributed to the 1990 con-viction of BCCI in Tampa on charges of
money laundering.
It also appears to have. led to the closure of front companies
operated by the notorious Pal-estinian terrorist Abu Nidal.
Working in conjunction with its British equivalent MI5, the CIA
found in 1986 that Abu Nidal banked at BCC! in Lon-don. Some of the
acc01.mts were in the name of Abu Nidal's key financial aide, Samir
H Najmed-
din of PO Box 655 inBaghdad, according to documents sup-plied by
an informant to MI5.
Tracing the accounts, the intelligence organizations found front
companies in Poland and East Germany through which Abu Nidal traded
in weapons, construction projects and mil-lions of dollars in other
busi-ness.
The CIA conveyed the in-formation to the State Depart-ment's
counter-terrorism bu-reau. The department then pressed the Polish
and East German governments to expel Abu Nidal's personnel and shut
down his companies, said Pe-ter Burleigh, the State Depart-ment's
counter-terrorism ad-viser.
One of the agency's earliest contacts with BCC! appears to have
~ome through Kamal Adham, a multimillionaire Saudi of Turkish
descent and
one of the original sharehold-ers in Financial General, the US
bank acquired in 1981 by BCCL 'IW new owners changed the name to
First American Bankshares.
Adham, a brother-in-law and close confidante of the late Saudi
King Faisal, knew the CIA well: He headed the Saudi intelli-gence
services until 1977, right about the time he began buy-ing into
Financial General.
Adham had working and business relationships with US
intelligence officials, among them Raymond Oose, who until 1977 was
head of the CIA sta-tion in Jiddah. Close subse-quently retired in
Saudi Ara-bia and went to work as a consultant for American firms
trying to do business in that , country.
Oose says he never heard of BCCI and never discussed it with
Adham. - Sapa-AP.
SA unemployment rate 17 per cent ,
-JOHANNESBURG: The unemployment rate in the country had,
according to estimates, increased from about 10 per cent in 1983 to
17 per cent in 1991, Economic Co-ordination an,d Public Enterprise
Minis-ter Dawie de Villiers said in Sandton yesterday. . He told an
Afrikaanse Han-
delsinstituut Congress this meant that more than 2,5 mil-lion
poeple were probably jobless.
Only about one quarter of prospective new entrants to the job
market in the 1980s had been accommodated in the formal sector.
"At current expansion rates this means that there is no space in
the formal secotr for about 330000 of the almost 400 000 people
entering the labour market annually," said Or de Villiers. .

SA talks should forge 'blueprint for peace'
PRETORIA: Law and Order ~ster Adriaan Vlok has declared
Alexandra township an unrest area with immediate effect. The
squalid northern Johannesburg township has been the scene of
renewed violence over the past few days during which at least 23
people have lost their lives.
JOHANNESBURG: South Africa's main political rivals, tom by years
of murderous conflict, sat down for talks yesterday to 'try to end
the violence.
The African National Con-gress (ANC), the InkathaFree-dom Party
and the South Afri-can government discussed a peace plan forged by
a neutral church-business group.
, '(The talks) are a good sign for the future, although one
needs to view them with cau-tious optimism," said talks
co-ordinator V al Pauquet.
If approved, the plan will be submitted for final endorse-ment
by the three parties and all other political movements affected by
the violence which has killed more than 10000 people in the black
townships since 1984.
The talks will be the first between South Africa's chief
political protl!.ganists since a slush fund scandal last month
poisoned slowly improving relations.
The government admitted paying Inkatha secret funds to offset
the ANC's influence in the black townships, a scandal which
sidelined two cabinet
minsters and led the ANC to accuse Inkatha of being the
government's puppet.
But yesterday's talks behind closed doors at a Johannesburg
industrial centre were a sign that a tentative truce had been
forged between the three par-ties.
The proposed plan, expected to be a blueprint for peace in the
townships, calls for a code of conduct for political parties and
the security forces, the identification of socio-eco-nomic problems
and the im-plementation of a monitoring force.
A permanent peace secre-tariat would work with a judi-cial
commission on violence and intimidation which re-formist President
FW de Klerk proposed last June.
An anti-apartheid source said broad agreement had already been
reached on codes of con-duct for se-~urity forces and political
parties.
Copies of the proposed ac-cord have been forwarded to other
smaller parties less in-volved in the township car-nage.
It includes a ban on disrupt-ing the activities of political

leader Eugene Terre'Blanche claims at a press conference here on
Sunday that police deliber-ately set out to kill right-wingers

rivals or making inflammatory statements against opposing
parties, dubbed "killing talk" byInkathaleader~ongosuthu
Buthelezi.
Anyone making inflamma-tory statements against oppo-nents would
be required to apologise publicly.
The source also said the parties had agreed that politi-cal
killers should be brought to court quickly.
The township violence reached epidemic proportions between April
and June this year, prompting the ANC to pull out of democracy
talks with the government until De Klerk took steps to halt it.
Church and business leaders took the current peace initia-tive
after the ANC and its al-lies failed to attend a
govern-ment-convened peace summit in~ay.
Many anti-apartheid groups said at the time the govern-ment
could not cmvene a peace conference as it was "one of the sources
of the carnage." But they said they would at-tend a conference
lO:onvened by church leaders they regarded as neutral. -

In a statement, Vlok said a 09hOO to 16hOO curfew would be
imposed in the township, from yesterday night and police
rein-forcements were being de-ployed. The ongoing spate of violence
in Alexandra township has claimed 28 lives and left more than 70
others injured.
Meanwhile, the Alexandra Civic Organisation said yester-day that
24 people have died and 53 have been injured in the Al-exandra
unrest since Friday night.
Speaking at a Johannesburg news conference ACO member Mzwanele
Mayekiso charged a low intensity war had been launched on innocent
township residents by the Inkatha Free-dom Party in collusion with
whites.
Although the township was quiet throughout the day, at night
marauding bands of people attacked residents in the vicinity of the
hostel occupied by 1FP members. Anyone pass-ing the hostel fell
prey to these armed men, Mayekiso charged.
The latest spate of violence in Alexandra was sparked by a
clean-up campaign spearheaded by the Sandton IFP branch after which
10 people were injured in a clash between the 1FP and resi-dents. -

INTERNATIONAL WRAP-UP
Israeli plan for hostages JERUSALE~: Deputy Foreign ~ster Benj~
Netanyahu said yesterday that if Israel receives proof that
kidnappers' in Lebanon hold three Israeli soldiers, then'steps
toward an overall deal could proceed.
Netanyahu, interviewed on the American CBS television net-work,
also scoffed at an Iranian report that Shiite ~uslim cleric Sheik
Abdul Karim Obeid, kidnapped by Israel two years ago, might be
freed by the weekend.
"We're not about to give up the main trump (card)," he said. The
comments came as Israeli media reported that the Jewish
state is expected to propose a two-stage release of Lebanese
prisoners on condition that it receives concrete information on its
seven missing servicemen, some of whom are thought to be dead. Such
a deal is expected to include the release of the 11 remaining
Western hostages, including five Americans.
Albanians allowed to stay BAR!, Italy: Italy has decided to
allow several hundred Albanian refugees still in this south-eastern
port after a massive influx last week to stay for the moment,
national police chief Vincenzo Parisi said yesterday. ~ost of the
17 000 refugees who swamped southern Italian
ports last Thursday have been sent home. About 500 have been
resisting efforts to dislodge them from an old soccer stadium in
Bari and a ~altese freighter, the Susan. Some were believed to be
armed.
Renamo rebels attack Chibuto MAPUTO: Radio ~ozambique reported
yesterday that Renamo rebels killed 41 people last week in an
attack on the southern town of Chibuto.
The government-operated radio said 77 people were injured and an
unknown number abducted in the attack, the AIM national news agency
reported. There was no way to independently confirm the report.
R wanda denies Tutsi massacre BRUSSELS: Rwanda yesterday denied
rebel claims that govern-ment-backed militias massacred more than 1
000 people of the minority Tutsi tribe in the north of the African
state earlier this year.
R wandan ambassador Francois Ngarukiyintwali said an attack on
the region by the rebel Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) in January
sparked ethnic violence between Tutsis and rival Hutus but local
authorities had intervened to end it.
He declined to say how many people had been hurt as a result .
of what he described as "tempers running too high", saying an
official inquiry was under way.

Two A WB members in coUrt JOHANNESBURG: Two members of the
Afrikaner Weer-standsbeweging appeared in the Ventersdorp
~agistrate' s Court yesterday on charges of public violence
following the clash there last Friday. They are Henry de Beer, 40,
of Krugersdorp, and Cornelius Mostert, 46, of Stilfontein. They
were not asked to plead and were released on their own
recognisance.
Chief of the CID in the Western Transvaal, Colonel Henry Austin,
said more A WB members would be arrested within the next few days
on charges of attempted murder, public violence, assault and
malicious damage to property.
Doctors on strike in Chad N'DJAMENA: Doctors and nurses in Chad
launched an indefi-nite strike on Tuesday over unpaid salaries,
paralysing the central African country's main hospital in the midst
of a cholera epi-demic.
Long queues of patients lined'up at the central hospital in the
capital N'Djamena as nurses maintained only an . emergency service
in the casualty and maternity departments.
Latest official figures say more than 1 000 Chadians have died
of cholera since ~ay and at least 3' 000 more Me infected in a
regional epidemic which has claimed several thousand lives.
Students riot in Seoul SEOUL: About 1 000 students hurling
firebombs and rocks fought police yesterday while other protesters
made plans to march to the border with Communist North Korea to
demand unification of the divided peninsula.
Police fired tear gas during clashes with government opponents
at Sogang University in western Seoul. There were no immediate
reports of casualties. In another part of the capital, 15 000
students held rallies at two schools to urge unification.
2 500 die in Chinese flooding BEDING: The worst flooding in
decades has killed 57 people in China's north-eastern province of
Heilongjing, bringing the na-tionwide death toll in su~er flooding
to more than 2 500, ac-cording to an official report. • Reports

ONDERWYSERS MOET PASOP -WENTWORTH
ONDERWYSERS wat nie reg aan hul beroep doen nie en hulle
wangedra moet weet daar sal streng teen hulle opgetree word. Die
waarskuwing is deur die Adjunk. Minister van Onderwys en Kultuur
gister op Otavi gemaak. Wentworth was op 'n verkenningsbesoek op
die dorp.
Hy se die onderwys was in die verlede 'n gerespekteerde beroep
maar die beeld daarvan is afgebreek deur wat hy na verwys het die
onverantwoor-delike optrede van 'n klein groep onderwysers.
wat in asosiale verhoudinge met leerlinge betrokke raak. Daar
sal streng teen diegene opgetree word.
Wentworth se hy het ook betroubare inligting oor voor-raad van
skole wat in winkels verkoop word of deur die agter-deure van die
skool gesmokkel word.
baar gestel sal word. Hy het onderwysers gevra
om met omvattende bydraes . tot die dokument te kom sodat
'n meer spesifieke taalbeleid vir die skole opgestel kan
word.
Wentworthhefbygevoeg dat daar in die vergadering ver-lede week
tussen die Staatsdi-enskommissie en die Minister van Onderwys en
Kultuur voorstelle gemaak is oor die tydperk van diens van
ongekwalifiseerde on-
derwysers. Dit is ooreengekom om die
tydperk van diens van ongekwalifiseerde onderwysers te verleng
van drie tot vier jaar op voorwaarde dat hulle binne hierdie
tydperk 'n formele onderwyskwalifikasie verwerr.
Die tydperlc wat onderwysers in diens is, sal gebruik word as
krediete wat hul in staat sal stel om tot formele
opleidingin-stansies toe te tree, het hy byge.voeg.
Anton von Wietersheim, Adjunk.Minister v~n Handel en Ny.
werheid, het aan die begin van die week sakemanne se aandag opnuut
gevestig op 'n handleiding wat gebruik kan word deur almal wat wil
uitvoer. Die haJidleiding het hy beskryf as 'n poging deur sy
minlsterie om handel met die buiteland te bevorder. Hier vertoon hy
die handelsgids vir 1991/92.
Beweerde arsenaal Op OPUWO "Ek: sal nie in die privaatlewe
van 'n onderwyser meng nie solank dit nie die vordering van sy
leerlinge negatief bemvloed nie, maar indien sy gedrag met die
opvoedkundige moontlikhede . van kinders inmeng sal sal ek verplig
wees om streng en beslis op te tree," het hy gewaarsku.
Hy het bygevoeg hy kry meer en meer berigte oor onderwysers
Hierdie vorm van korrupsie se hy kan gelykstaande geag word as
die van 'n onderwyser wat sy salaris ontvang sonder om daarvoor te
werk.
Oor die taalbeleid in skole het die minister gese daar is reeds

Ondersoek na' werkloosheid-- . . . . , . "
DIE Ministerie van Arbeid en Mannekragontwikke· ling is besig
met 'n steekproefin verskillende gedeeltes van die land en wil
inwoners versoek om nie hierdie steekproef met die rumOllale sensus
in Sep· tember te verwar nie.
Die steekproef wat op 5 Augustus begin het, sal tot 31 Augustus
duuren handel veral oor die insameling van inligting oor die
arbeidsituasie in die land.
Die doel van die ondersoek is om die verdeling van werk-loosheid
tussen verskillende streke, distrikte en dorpe te bepaal en ook om
te kyk na die verskille daarvan tussen die geslagte en
ouderdomsgroepe.
Die ondersoekresultate van hierdie steekproefbehoort teen die
einde van September beskik-baar te wees en die ministerie het dit
beskryf as deel van 'n voortdurende proses met die doelom
'nNasionale Atbeidsin-ligtingstelsel te ontwikkel. Dit sal
periodiek op datwn gebring word.
Altesaam vier-en-veertig beamptes en opnemers van die ministerie
is tans in die veld.
Hulle besoek verskillende huishoudings en versamel in-ligting
oor die beroep vanlede,
. aantal athanklikes en die wyse waarop hulle oorleef.
Weens finansiele tekortkom-inge kan die ministerie egter nie
elke huishouding besoek nie. Die veldwerkers van die ministerie
besoek dUs net sekere
huishoudings met gelyksoor-tige sosio-ekonomiese ken-merlce in
die versk:illende streke, distrikte en dorpe. Die inligting wat met
hierdie opname inge-win word sal met die strengste vertroulikheid
hanteer word en nie aan enige buite instansie beskikbaar gestel
word nie.
Die Minister van Arbeid en Mannekragontwikkeling, Hendrik
Witbooi, wil 'n beroep op al die huishoudings wat vir die
sU;ekproef gekies word doen om saam te werk en die in-· ligting
waarna gesoek word te
-verskaf. Die inligting word benodig deur regeringsinstan-sies
in hul pogings om werk-loosheid te verminder en 'n voorspoedige
toekoms vir die inwoners van die land te verseker.
Geld aan jeugvereniging DIE Interkerklike Jeugverening van
Namibie het onlangs 'n donasie van R20 000 van Pescanova Fishing
Industries of Namibia ontvang en wou graag by wyse van 'n
verklaring hul opregte dank aan die onderneming uitspreek vir die
bydrae wat gemaak is.
Die IKN bedryf 'n jeugsentrum in Kho-masdal waar die jeug
gereeld bymekaarkom vir se~, werkswinkels en lrul christelike
bedry-wighede. Daarberiewens is daar ook 'n kleuter-skool met drie
klaskamers wat vir ongeveer 'n honderd kleuters voorsiening
maak.
Die geld sal vir die opknapping van die ge-boue van die sentrum
gebruik word en die werk sal deur 'n plaaslike
konstruksie-ondememing
gedoen word. Die IKJV wil graag erkenning gee aan on-
dememings soos Pescanova wat bereid is om finansiele bydraes te
maak tot die ontwikkeling· van die jeug in die land.
Die verklaring gee vOorts hu~ bewustheid te kenne dat die
regering baie ander verpligtinge het om na te kom en se die
verantwoordelikheid vir die jeug kan nie alleen aan die regering
oorgelaatwordnie. Die donasie deur Pescanova word dus gesien as 'n
belegging in die toekoms en veral in die jeug van die land.
Dit gaan voort deur te se die skenking deur Pescanova is 'n
navolgingswaardige vQorbeeld in die sin dat die mense van die land
gesien kan word as die belangrikste bates van 'nland - veral in 'n
ontwikkelende land soos Namibie.
