Plans for an investment code were at an advanced stage and should be ready before the June conference.

Hamutenya said, in reply to a question, he was concerned that po­liti<;al changes in Eastern Europe could affect potential opportunities in Namibia.

, 'Yes, the changes in Eastern Eu­rope will definitely have negative consequences for our own situation," he said, adding officials in Frankfurt last week admitted there was "a problem" with private investors looking at more promising invest­ment possibilities.

CAPE TOWN - The historic talks between the ANC and the South African government got under way on Wednesday afternoon with a commitment from both State President F W de Klerk and ANC vice­president Nelson Mandela to work for the _creation of a peaceful and just South Africa.

The two men, who will be leading their respective delegations in the three days of negotiations, addressed journalists briefly on the lawns of the Groote Schuur homestead shortly before the scheduled beginning of the talks at 3.3Opm.

Reading from a prepared state­ment, De KIerk said the government was approaching the talks with the utmost earnestness. They coUld make an important contribution to bring­ing about peaceful and just solutions.

He also repeated the government's concern about the "escalating spiral of violence and intimidation' , which had caused so much suffering and hardship.

"It is absolutely essential that peaceful negotiations for a demo­cratic solution must be conducted in

. peaceful circumstances. ' , Mandela said he trusted that all

South Africans, regardless of politi­cal formations, would engage in the sacred exercise of negotiating a new SA without seeking advantage for their particular political organisations.

It was a sobering fact that this was the first time in 78 years that ~ truly serious meeting was taking place between the ANC and the succession of whlte governments that had ruled SA for generations.

, 'It indicates the deadly weight of the terrible tradition of a 'dialogue' between master and servant which we have to overcome in order to establish a culture of JX'aceful, demo­cratic and genuine debate,· discus­sion and negotiation which should be the hallmark of the political proc­esses of a free; peaceful and stable SA."

The pace of negotiations should be

determined by the fact that "the black masses of our country demand and expect fundamental change now and not tomorrow" ..

Mandela read part of his speech -in which he said Afrikaners had noth­ing to fear from the ANC - in Afri-kaans. _

Delegates tO,the talks began arriv­ing a.t Groote Schuur, former resi­dence of SA' s prim~ ministers and now a museum, from about 2.3Opm;

_By the time De KIerk arrived in a silver Mercedes 'Benz at 2.5Opm, all

. of the government delegation had already enteredtlie main doors.

Minutes later a convoy carrying members of the ANC delegation arrived. Mandela and Walter Sisulu, who were travelling in the lead car -also a Mercedes ·"-were' welcomed by a white official and escorted inside.

A number of other ANC officials, who are not part of the official dele­gation - including the organisation's

, Western Cape representative, Tre­vor Manuel; Dullah Omar and Steve Tshwetshe - came shortly afterwards.

After sharing tea in a specially­erected catering marquee at the back of the homestead, both delegations came outside to pose for photographs on the lawns for the scores of jour­nalists who had been busedin for the occasioIl-

As the two leaders read their state­ments - De KIerk first - ~t a podium on the grass, the rest of the delegates stood on a flight of stone steps be­hind them.

In the front row, Minister of For­eign Affairs Pik Botha stood next to SACP chairperson Joe Slovo, and next to him Sisulu and Alfred Nzo.

Behind them were Ahmed Kathrada,

Dr Dawie de VilJiers and Dr Gemt ViljoeIl-

On the next step were Dr Stoffel van der Merwe. Adriaan Vlok and Ruth Mompati, and behind them Dr Beyers Naude, ChlEryl Carolus, Th­abo Mbeki and General Basie Smit, who is not part of the government delegation. The first day's talks are scheduled to continue over a work­ing supper andto end at 11pm.

Tomorrow's session - the shortest of the three days - runs from 230 to 6pm. On Friday the negotiators are to assemble at llam and hope to finish by 6pm.

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Constitutional Development, the facilitating department, said this moniing the session times remained subject to possible alteration by the meeting.

Another aspect, which would be part of the negotiations themselves, was the form of future press C01)Ul1U­niques by both the ANC arid the government, he said.

Later, as the media waited for the photo session, an ANC National Executive Committee member, the political commissar of Umkhonto we Sizwe, Steve Tshwete, held an im­promptu press conference on the lawns of Groote Schuur and said it had been agreed by both sides that there would be no interim press releases during the meeting.

"The only release will be a final one on Friday."

The meeting would decide whether it would be in the form of separate statements or a joint release.

The parties would remain free to give interviews during that period on matters not related to the talks.

BALTIC APPEAL FOR WESTERN ASSISTANCE MOSCOW· Lithuanian President Vytautas Landsbergis on Wednesday appealed to the leaders of France and West Germany to help persuade Moscow to start talks with the breakaway republic on its independence bid.

In a message read to the Lithu­anian parliament, Landsbergis also expressed his willingness to freeze "some of the effects" of laws bol­stering the republic's March 11 dec­laration of independ.ence.

But he said the declaration itself was sacred.

Landsbergis's letters were in re­sponse to a joint message from French ,

President Francois Mitterrand and West Gennan Chancellor Helmut Kohl last Thursday urging patience and caution on Lithuania in its independ­ence·bid.

"The main point is to ask them to convey to the Soviet government that we really want to sit down at the negotiating table, , . said Rita Dapkus, an official at the Lithuanian parlia­ment's information office.

"We might be willing to freeze· some of the effects of our resolu­tions," she said.

But Dapkus said the letter explic­itly stated that "all questions are negotiable except for the March ·11 declaration itself" .

The text was due to be released after the letter to Mitterrandhad been handed over in Paris later on Wednes­day.

The other letter was due to be sent to Kohl through the West German embassy in Moscow.

The appeal came on the eve of a parliamentary session in the neigh­bouring Baltic republic of Latvia, which is expected to follow Lithu­ania and also make. a declaration reasserting its pre-1940 independ­ence_

Ho~ever, Latvian officials say they will not take further moves to antag­onise Moscow, attempting to leave both the republic and the Kremlin a breathing space.

NAMIBIA'S exhibition was a joint effort by the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Tourism, which was ~pre­sented by its Penncnant Secretary, Hanno Rumpf.

Namibian products varied from sea­food to 'veldskoene', alarm networks and even office furniture. Usual favourites like Windhoek beer, the exclusive Nakara karakul pelts and Namibia's unique gem­stones gave the exhibition that exira Namibian sparkle.

Rumpf said Namibia could, in coopera­tion with Botswana and Zambia, offer an unbeatable combination of tourist attrac­tions for southern Africa. Namibia's geo­graphical situation was also of the utmost importance for southern Mrica. "It will make sense for SADCC countries to use Walvis Bay, because it will shorten their import and export routes drastically," so reducing import costs effectively.

New student body Interest in Namibian products came not only come from local enthusiasts and other eitibitors, but also from Botswana President Dr Quett Masirc, who was quoted as expressing h~ admiration for the Namibian products . .

The majority of industrial countries southern African countries imported from, were in the southern hemisphere, he said, making Walvis Bay most sUitt'ble for the purposes of an import harbour.

A NEW student organisation, to be known as the Namibia Student Education Movement (Nasem), has been formed.

The leadership of the new student movement say their organisation has come into being as a result of a leadership vaccuum within the stu­dent community in Namibia.

Existing student organisations·bad failed to provide "proper leadership" for Namibian students because of their links with political parties, one of the leaders of Nasem said when approached for comment yesterday.

According to the student, Nanso bad failed to put students' interests first and was using students for party propaganda.

"With the coming of Namibian independence, a new era offering challenges bas been ushered in and it cannot be left to the government alone to try and correct past mistakes," th~ student said. He added it was against this background that Nasem had been founded.

The leaders of the new organisa­tion would not divulge their mem­bership, nor would they say how they

would survive financially but ap­pealed for donations from businesses and their followers.

There are no ideological differ­ences between Nasem and Nanso, according to the Nasem leaders.

The differences laid in approach, they said. Whereas Nanso bad openly supported a single party, the new student organisation would seek to be non-party political.

"By begging to affiliate to a po­litical party and singling out one political party as the answer to our problems, Nanso destroyed the unity that bad been achieved among stu­dents, " the· student leader said.

The student leader, however, de­nied representing a group of Nanso 'dissidents' which broke away from Nanso in 1988 after the organisation decided to recognise Swapo as the vanguard of the Namibian struggle and later decided on affiliation.

"We represent all the Namibian students, even those in Nanso who

Nasem, according to one of its leaders, was "anti-racist" and would strive to engage white students in its

. activities. Steve Rukoro, leader of Nasem,

said yesterday he was extending a hand of friendship to Nanso and lookl:d iorward to possible cooperation and a working relationship as the two organisations had common objectives.

Asked about a merger if the stu­dent organisations bad no policy difference, he said it was "too early to talk about",

A press conference to announce the founding of Nasem is scheduled for today.

The Namibian stslls, a1thou sf1 not in the main exhibition hall, atlracted many show-goers to the tent it shared with Zambia and other loc8I business people. - "Enquiries about tourism arc incred­ible," the chief coordinator of the Naptib­ian exhibition, John Cronje, said. "People want to see the world's newest nation, .. he said, adding it was now time for Namibia to open its doors to these people.

He said people showed a keen interest in visiting the Namib desert, the oldest in the world, and also the world's biggest pan - the Etosha. The Fish River Canyon, sec­ond only in magnitude to the Grand Can­yon in the United States of America, also captured the imagination of potential tour­ists.

Cronje said his office in Johannesburg was also serving as a temporary consulate and visas had already been issued, among them to American, Japanese and French nationals. All were interested in tourism, exept the Japanese, "who mostly indi­cated business interests", Cronje said:

He added the Namibian exhibition would soon visit Zimbabwe because, as far as the world market was concerned, "our products arc unique".

Speaking to local journalists, Dier­gaardt stressed the importance of N a­mibia's economy gradually reducing its

DTA, FeN men join Swapo. TWO opposition politicians in the southem region have quit their re­speCtive parties to join Swapo.

Peter Qroenewald, fonnerly a member of the DT A head committee and chief organiser for the southem region, announced his move at the weekend. He accused the alliance of having failed to keep its promises among other things.

Groenewald said he had been forced to resign from his teachiJig profes­sion last year in order to become a full-time paid organiser for the DT A.

But in February this year, DTA secretary-general Johann de Waal had written, saying his services were no longer needed.

The DT A had done the same to him during the 1978 elections after which they left him 'in the lurch, Groenewald told The Namibian yes­terday.

He cited another reason as the fail­ure of the alliance to rid itself of the etlmic image, even under the changed circumstances.

The alliance was still run solely by a 'white man' - Dirk Mudge - while the so-called black leaders, such as Mishake. Muyongo, were , merely window-dressing, Groenewald stated.

According to Groenewald, the DT A was also run 'clandestinely ' with certain infonnation being withheld from members, including those in the leadership. One such area was the alliance's finances which no one knew anything about, with the exception of Mudge himself.

No financial reports were tabled before the management head com­mittee of which he was a member, nor did he know where the DT A got money from or how it was used, he added.

"It is an alliance of opportunism which stands for no principles but financial gains for its top members, ' ,

RAJAH MUNAMAVA

Groenewald claimed. He had therefore decided to quit

the DT A and join Swapo in order to be part of the people and render serv­ice to them for the good cause of all.

Groenewald urged those being lured by the DT A not to heed the alliance's , 'unprincipled cheap propaganda' ' .

Another opposition political leader, A R McCallum, also from the south, has resigned from the Federal Con­vention of Namibia (FeN) to join Swapo.

He told The N anubian he was dis­illusioned ,with the leadership of Kaptein Hans Diergaardt who had opted for UDI in Rehoboth.

He added he also did not want to be

associated with white right-wingers with whom Kaptein Diergaardt was suddenly openly appearing.

McCallum alleged the FCN was riddled with corruption. Many people employed by it during the elections had gone unpaid, he said.

The fonner FCN man also said that by its association with the Namib Foundation, the convention had al­lowed itself to play in the hands of dangerous white extremists. He claimed Namib Foundation officials were drawn from the South African security establishment.

McCallum said he had finally jointm Swapo and from now on would be operative in the areas of Liideritz, Bethanie, Aus and Keetmanshoop as a Swapo organiser.

No medical school on cards for Namibia

STANLEY KATZAO

IT was international practice that people working in the medical profession should be registered before practicing.

This statement was made by Health and Welfare Minister Dr NICky Iyambo when he addressed a group of about 30 retuqlee muses undergoing a bridg­ing course at Rundu State Hospital.

Iyambostressed that as they worked with human lives, it was of cardinal importance that they be registered and tlrus recognised by medical bodies.

He also said the classification of the nurses was a bit problematic as their certificates and diplomas had been 'left in Angola, while some medical institutions where these people had been trained were also inacces" sible for recommendations.

Iyambo announced that the groUnd!. work for the establishment of an oWn Medical and Dental Council 'and Nursing Council had been completed and the body would be fonned in the near future.

Asked whether experience gained in exile would be recognised by the new govemment, he said it might be recognised but "unfortunately not" for the purpose of salaries and ,Pro­motions. The Minister explained that legally they were not regarded as civil servants.

Medical samples examined locally were clean and even laboratory re­sults from the SouthAfricanMedical Research Council only showed parae sites and viruses, but nothing which could specifically indicate they were the causes of the so-called 'mystery disease' per se.

The delegation, including Perma­nent Secretary Dr Solly Amadhila and I>irector of Community Health Services Dr Kraus, visited the north­em areas because of news reports that the health condition there was "rapidly deteriorating". ,

According to the reports the causes of this were "overcrowded hospi­tals, a shortage of medicine and poor distribution of medical persomiel" .

Dr Krause refuted the claims of overcrowding, saying hospitals could not be built for' 'epidemic seasons".

He iIdded, however, that s011leheallh centres in villages likeOshikuku and Nkongo needed more facilities and the erection of 9O-bed hospitals was often mentioned in repect of Nkongo, while an extension was considered for Oshikuku.

About staff problem identified at the Ongandj.era hospital, which also runs three Mher clinics in that area, Iyambo said it would take his minis­try some time to train sufficient medical personnel. He, however, recognised the need for a fulltime doctor and promised to send one there as soon as possible.

With regard to the lack of transport at the same hospital he stressed that the community should get involved in the provision of medicine to these remote areas. He told the chiefs of both Ongandjera and Ombalantu that members of the community in those Villages could assist in transporting the medicine from the medicine store at Oshakati, "where there was more

Addressing the full medical per­sonnel of the hospital, Iyambo out­lined his Ministry's wish to intro­duce a two-way traffic health policy. "We want to achieve one, unified primary health care policy , " he said.

As Namibia had been accepted by the WHO, not only the central gov­emment would be involved in this, but the medical personnel from the regions should take a keen interest in the WHO's programmes.

He said a good spirit should exist between those who had returned from exile and those who had remained in the country.

Although there might be a short­age of doctors, Iyambo ruled out the possibility of a local medical school, because it was "too expensive in relation to the population". '

The Minister also wamed that no post would be filled behind back doors and promised that all posts would be properly advertised.

He promised that there would be salary increases for medical person­nel as soon as the new budget was adopted, although how much this would be was not mention~d.

"We have no one to blame any­more as we used to do with South Africa during the era of colonial­ism, " he said; and added they could not expect everything to COlne from the govemment.

The Oshikuku hospital, a Roman Catholic mission hospital, experi­ences definite problems with accom­modation. Currently, the hospital is treating about 400 patients, mostly malaria cases. The accommodation problem deteriorated when relatives of patients come to stay.

At Eenhana, people who cannot get accommodation in the hospital are staying in old buildings close to it and receive daily treatment there as outpatients.

Some people are even coming there from Angola for treatment, as the border is only about nine kilometres from the hospital.

Iyambo mentioned that a 30-bed hospital should be erected there, while an ambulance should be made avail­able as soon as possible.

He said the govemment should not see mission hospitals as isolated institutions. Instead, the govemment should provide salaries for staff em­ployed there, make funds available for their running costs and supply them with medicine and medical personel, while the administration of

. the hospital could be left in their hands.

He also mentioned that the short­age of medical personnel at mission hospitals was caused by the 'fact that the interim govemment prohibited them from recruiting new medical personnel or to replace staff who retired. In doing so, they wanted to cut down subsidies to these hospi­tals.

He had, however, already instructed his financial officers that subsidies should immediately be made avail­able to these hospitals.

It is a matter of Ovambo medical appointments sharing - Amathila

JEAN SUTHERLAND

SOPHISTICATED medicine for the few had to be combined with basic health care for the majority, Housing and Local Government Minister Dr Libertine Amathila said on Tuesday.

DR Nestor Shivute has been ap­pointed acting regional director of the north-eaStem region of Ovambo and Kaokoland with immediate effect.

This was announced on Monday at a press conference held ,by Health and Welfare Minister , Dr Nicky Iyambo at Oshakati during a three­day fact-fmding visit to the north.

any medical body, the Minister made it clear that temporary ministerial arrangements had been made to ensure that these doctors could practice.

However, Iyambo said, they would be registered as soon as an own Medical and Dental Council was established.

Addressing a 'multinational con­ference ,of the Southern African Association of Medical Schemes (Saam) in Windhoek, Amathila painted a grim picture of health problems faced by underdeveloped countries, including Namibia, adding there was "absolutely no hope" of achieving the goal of health for all by the year 2000.

Speaking on "Health in the Third World' " Amathila said health ad­vances in these countries had suf­fered a tremendous setback with the advent of Aids. This had destroyed any hopes of health for all in Africa by the tum of the century.

On the thorny issue of privatisa­tion, Amathila said she did not ap­preciate "privatisation on a large scale".

In an apparent reference to the controversial new Medicity, she said she would not suggest private hospi­tals "allover Namibia. One in Wind­hoek is enough. ' ,

The Minister said obviously pri­vate hospitals catered for a miD.ority, white the bulk of people had to suffer poor services, usually at understaffed hospitals.

In addition, the private sector depleted the mainstream health serv­ices of good personnel.

"We must see how we can com­bine sophisticated medicine for the few with the provision of health care

for the majority of oUr people, with the protection of the majority of our younger generation," she said.

Tackling the matter of the resources needed for an effective health pro­gramme, an issue raised by a dele­gate, Amathila said she hoped Na­mibia could organise its resources within the next three to five years.

Namibia had much talked about mineral resources and, she wanted to know, "where are these resources?"

"We oughtto get money from our , own resources." The problem was not poverty, ' but a redistribution of resources, she emphasized.

Amathila also said the country should not depend on hand-outs.

The Minister's reference to a more equal sharing of resources appeared to be the spark which got Saam chair­person Keith Hollis to his feet.

Apologising for asking a "more political question" , he went on to say he believed the future lay in the west "where wealth is produced.

He said Namibia had western and African components, and asked Amathila if she foresaw any recon­ciliation between the two.

The Minister responded that it was matter of sharing and compromis­ing, rather than "giving up some­thing".

" As people living in one country we should interact, " she added. "The gap must be narrowed. "

St Paul 's braai 1990 ST PAUL'S braai bazaar will b~ held on Saturday and prorruses to be quite

an event. There will be a tombola stall, a 'roll-a-hole' stall, a raffle offering prizes of R4 000 and a parachute jump.

'Ebby the Clown' from Natal will be providing entertainment for children all day long, while a white elephant stall, needlework stall and fresh produce stall will have plenty to tempt the passer-by.

There will also be second-hand books on sale and home-made sweets. An exhibition will be on loan for the day from the Goethe Institute in

Germany. It should be of particular interest to teenagers as it deals with the history of German pop music. A fashion show will also be held.

Samoosas, bratwurst, hot-dogs, ice-cream, milkshakes and Windhoek Lager will all be on offer throughout the day, while a braai will be held in the evening. After that, a beer tent and Irish coffee bar will be open and a disco will continue until late.

All the day 's events kick off at midday.

But, argued Hollis, "redistribu­tionisnot the western style. The west is into wealth-generating".

Amathila explained gently it was not a matter of "the rich versus the poor". She told him he was only looking at one part of the population. A holistic approach was needed.

The Minister used the example of the municipal situation in Windhoek. Under the present dispensation, Katu­tura, Khomasdal and Windhoek were expected to look after themselves.

But, she pointed out, it would be far better to have one municipality for Windhoek so that there was a more equal provision of services.

Using a topical example, she re­ferred to the tarring of roads.

Shivute was superintendent of the Oshakati State Hospital until his appointment a few days ago.

The Minister also announced that Dr Taati Ithindi, a returnee obstetri­cian-gynaecologist, has been ap­pointed superintendent of the Os­hakati Hospital with inunediate ef-fect. '

Ithindi studied in Moscow and returned under the UN repatriation scheme last year.

The Minister also stressed that their appointments would be in an acting capacity until the Personnel Institute provided the appropriate vacancies for applications to be entertained.

About the six vacancies that exist in the office of Oshakati's chief pharmacist, Mr Van der Walt, Iyambo said the posts should be filled inunediately. The formalities, ensuring that people would get paid, could be fixed up afterwards, he said.

Nantu dismisses new union THE Namibia National Teachers Union (Nantu) has appealed to all teachers to think carefully before

,jolJ)lng any alternatlv.e teaching un-Ion. In a statement Issued this week, Nantu claimed to be the " most pow­erful and established teachers' body In the country" and dismissed the fledgling Teachers Union of Namibia (TUN) as a non-starter. Nantu said the attempt to form a new teachers' union was divisive and ob­jected to the way In which the union had been proposed. It claimed the recently held Namov

dissolution congress had been guided by a "specific political faction" to­wards forming an alternative union to Nantu. It also accused the congress of being artificially swollen by teach­ers from the east of the country who had dominated the meeting for per­sonal political gain. "One of the antl-Nantu speakers at one stage declared Nantu to be a Swapo-supportlng organisation," the statement reported, going on to reject the assertatlon as "unfair" In any case, argued Nantu, If the aim of establishing a new union was shu-

ply ~o counter Swapo, the aim would be better achieved In a specifically political arena. Dragging teachers through a political battleneld was certainly not In the profession's In­terests, It said. The statement went on to say that teachers at the Namov congress were misled Into thinking: 1) That Nailtu would later disband to Join TUN; and 2) That teachers would lose their group schemes by joining Nantu. Both claims were untrue, said the statement.

FOR about 10 years an estimated 5 000 Angolan 'residents lived at what has been described as Vnita's 'mystery' Delta base in northern Namibia. Some of its people took part in military operations , with the SADF deep into Angola. It was also reportedly home to Vnita leader Jonas Savimbi's mother. Everyone who was anyone in officialdom appeared to know about, but officially no 'one knew about it. Some time over the last few weeks, the camp was destr0y.~ and its inhabitants vanished virtually overnight. Seen here are photographs taken while the camp was on the go, and in the aftermath of the exodus.

THE'NAMIBIAN

Reconciliation and South Mrica's

Bantustan example NA·IEM DOLLIE ------------

IT is not surprising that most warriors of national reconciliation are government officials and business people. After all, the Namibian world is being created in their image and they must be seen to be spearheading the impulse for peace, security, prosperity and all the other good things in life that they either have become rapidly accustomed to or were always accustomed to. So be it!

Now, one either agrees :with the rather vague policy of reconciliation or one disagrees. In either case, one has to know what it is.

In Joseph Diescho' s opinion (The Namibian, April 6), it means differ­ent things to different people in dif­ferent situations. 1his assertion makes debate rather limited because there is very little to disagree with. Like Diescho, I also believe that historical context tends to be lacking in the government's popularisation of rec­onciliati on.

But, unlike Diescho, my frame­work is a materialist one.1bis means that 'historical context' takes on "a different meaning for me. It means a sociological sketch of past and pres­ent practices drafted by antagonistic classes in our society. His opinion"on nation-building and 'race' is there­fore not unexpected. However, this debate is far too lengthy and detailed to cover in this opinion piece. For reckless and considered reasons, I would just simply say that 'race' is not a crucial factor for nation-build­ing: what is a crucial factor to con­sider is racism - that is, a sociological phenomenon that has politically explosive consequences based on a

matrix of material benefits and per­ceptions of superiority. In this con­text, apartheid can be interpreted as a political strategy of black political and economic disempowennent rather than a philosophy of white superior­ity - the latter being the conventional wisdom of most western analysts on the 'problem of apartheid' .

Viewed against this background, national reconciliation does indeed take on a different meaning for dif­ferent people in different situations. Notwithstanding the"obvious impor­tance of racism in the context of nation-building, I maintain that the policy of reconciliation as it is pro­moted at present by both government and business interests has essentially to do with organising a social sponge to absorb potential popular rupture.

It is widely accepted in Marxian parlance that class interests of the principal classes in society are irrec­oncilable. One consequence of this basic axiom is that in organising an inter-class general interest, the gov­ernment, as a political management, necessarily has to appeal to national loyalties, patriotism and a complex array of Namibian chauvinisms.

In a word, it means appealing to

that rather elusive Namibian NA­TION" and en.<ruring that workers, peasants, the middle class and the bourgeoisie all feel part of it. With clearly different intentions, the gov­ernment's policy of national recon­ciliation is not unlike that of the South African government's disas­trous Bantustan strategy of CLASS LEVELLING.

As a political strategy, in the short term, they might be marginally suc­cessful. The Namibian people might believe that they are the nation and that their interests are coincidental with those of the government and business. And even though short­tenn victories are vital stepping-stones along the path of national rc:con­struction:, a genuine concern is that political acquiescence could result in a suppression of anger that c,ould break out in other forms.

As an economic intervention, there is sufficient reason to believe that class contestation will erode its ef­fectiveness. And at the end of the day, 'tightening belts' could mean that formerly supportive constituen­cies move beyond what the govern­ment can, or is prepared and willing,~ to offer.

Mixed feelings over new lUXUry hospital

" A LUXURIOUS hospital has opened its doors to private patients having poached experienced nursing staff from an already overcstretched state health service.'

But the authorities at the riew 86-bed Medicity believe their hospital will complement rather than detract from the state sector.

State medics are concerned by the exodus of highly-skilled nursing staff to Medicity, and Windhoek's govern­ment hospitals - where Namibian nurses are also trained - will notice this loss in particular, Windhoek State

Hospital superintendent, Dr Andreas Obholzer, told The Namibian.

A 30-40 per cent increase in the number of nurses working for the state was currently needed to bring nursing levels up to an ideal level, said Dr Obholzer.

Cash restrictions since the early 1980s had resulted in state nursing levels being frozen while the number of patients needing " treatment had in-creased. "

However, Medicity administrator Annchen Parkhouse said the gaps left by state nurses moving to the new pri­vate hospital could be filled by returnee nurses.

Added to which, Medicity would aUract more affluent patients away from the overloaded state hospitals making more space for those who could not afford private treatment, Parkhouse said.

DAVID LUSH

to use. Before, patients neediilg the likes of brain or tumour scans had to make the costly trip to South Africa.

Medicity, in Windhoek's Eros Park, was officially opened on Tuesday by Local Government Minister Dr Liber­tine Amathila. The hospital boasts four operating theatres, a casualty unit, a minor treatment room, a 16-bed mater­nity ward, and consulting rooms for six doctors.

Patients will pay between R165-290 a night just for staying at the hospital, in addition to medical and other costs; these tariffs are within th'e price range covered by medical aid schemes, Park­house said.

As Dr Amathila's opening of Medicity shows, the new government is not opposed to private sector health care as long as it is self-fmancing. But a Health Ministry investigation has been launched into allegations that the former Administration for Whites indi­rectly funded Medicity with a R20 mil­lion loan repayable at a meagre five per cent interest rate over 20-25 years.

Parkhouse said Medicity welcomed the investigation. "We feel we have done everything aboveboard."

However, Dr Obholzer, while not despondent, was less el1thusiastic " about state health care in his hospitals over the next couple of ye,ars. He said his aim was to "keep things running as they were" during this "transition period".

"I have very conservative expecta­tions," he said. "In the next year or two there won't be much going forward. The main "aim is not to go backwards."

CASSINGA'S LESSONS MAY 4, 1978 - Cassinga Day - marks one of the saddest days in this country's recent history. Many Namibians lost friends and family when hundreds of our fellow countrymen, women and children were killed in a South African Defence Force raid 0111

Swapo camps in Angola. While Cassinga was only one incident in Namibia's struggle for independence, it stands out as a bloody monument to the tragedy of war and that violence is no respecter of people. For the majority it is a day that will remain imprinted in their hearts and minds, as well as going down as a key date in Namibian history. As the new nation comes to grips with peace, it is worth pausing to remember the atrocities of war. The loss oflife, no matter on which side of the 'political boundary', is always tragic, painful and cQstly, and should be mourned. May 4 should serve as a reminder that war in itself is an atrocity,which breeds brutality and human rights violations among people, touching even the innocent. Nothing should underline more the need for genuine reconciliation. Namibia's war has ended, but many of the wounds are still fresh; physical and psychological scars remain. The aftermath of war needs to be faced and dealt with. Trust has to be built, as evidenced by the recent shoot-out between the police and alleged Plan members at Oshakati, resulting in an unnecessary loss of life. For many the war lives on in other ways. This newspaper has received a flood of letters from the north, hardest-hit by the years of war, expressing "concern" and "heartbreak" over the plight offormer fighters who face unemployment, and those crippled, "the forgotten people of war". " Many feel that a blind eye is being turned to their problems. No one expects the government to be able to 'produce the goods' overnight, but judging from readers' letters, at this stage they would be more than happy to know that, at least, they are remembered and thar the government has plans which will involve them. Namibia's past should not be buried, but should be squarely acknowledged. Reconciliation and " the country would be the stronger for it. '

Swann lives! Congress to be held this weekend

THE South West Africa National Union (Swanu) led by VekuH Rukoro, who is also Deputy Minister of Justice, is to hold an extraordinary congress

, in Katutura at the weekend. Rukoro sald among other things, the congress would look into the trans­

formation of the party from a liberation movement into a political party now that some of the goals for which it had been formed had been realised.

The election of a new executive and a new constitution are also on the agenda.

In addition, it would look at strategies that would enable the party to remain relevant '3I1d make a contribution to the future political and economic development of Namibia.

Rukoro said yesterday that Swanu lived, dismissing statements to the contrary by NPF leader Moses Katjiuongua who has been quoted as saying he had dissolved Swanu.

"As you will know, there has been two factions of Swanu and our line has been that we constitute the authentic Swanu in that we have stuck to the original aims and principles of the party whereas the others deviated."

She also pointed out that Medicity had the only C.A.T. body scanner in Ncunibia which the state could also pay

Meanwhile, potential clients have been flocking to inspect Medicity and by yesterday afternoon 10 patients were already receiving treatment and two babies had been delivered at the new hospital. No wonder Parkhouse was talking optimistically about the future. THE new Medicity in Windhoek's Eros Park.

THEY began to gather after eve­ning prayers - bearded young men in white robes and skullcaps, standing across from the university gates.

Their mission: to prevent women living in the dormitories inside from venturing into the night where, the young men argue, they will surely stumble off the path ordained by God.

Women are often the first victims of such Moslem zealots bent on en­forcing their vision ofIslamic law on Algeria's streets, and the country ' s feminists are up 'in arms. Rec~nt incidents at the Ben Boulaid City for Girls in Blida, a conservative mer­chant town SOlan from Algiers, have become a, rallying cry for feminist and human rights groups and secular opposition parties.

They see the self-appointed po­licemen of God as a grave threat to

· THt!INAMIBIAN

'Policemen of God' a threat to feminists

the few civil rights women now en­joy - and a challenge to Algeria 's emerging multi-party democracy.

Police have belatedly responded with a series of arrests and women students in Blida said the groups had largely disappeared.

But with the powerful Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) likely to win a big share of votes in the country's first free elections set for municipal and provincial councils in June, civil rights activists say the battle may

have just begun. "Women are the new scapegoats," ,

said Khalida Messaoudi, president of the Independent Association for the Triumph of Women's Rights. "We are blamed for every evil."

Aisha, a sutdent in her early twen­ties, said the young men began gath­ering last year, stopping women who tried to leave the campus. One stu­dent group complained to the provin­cial governor but got no response, she said.

"We are all a bit 'traumatised now, " she said.

After a public outcry, police were stationed in front of the modem concrete gates and the men retreated.

"Our goal is essentially aimed at bringing people who engage in doubt­ful activities back to the right path," one of the Moslem missionaries, identified only as AA, was quoted as saying by the official daily el­Moudjilhid.

Blida, a garrison town, has been linked to religious extremism since the mid-l98Os when Mustapha Bouyali led a band of supporters on a "holy war" in the surrounding countryside against the Algerian state.

Tracts signed with such names as ' Hizbollah' and 'Jihad (Holy War) Association - Algerian section' ap­peared in Blida early in the Moslem fasting month of Ramadan, threaten­ing women who opposed strict Is­lamic codes of modesty.

Prime minister Mouloud Ham­r9uche publicly condemned intimi­dation and violence after meeting with women's groups last week but Messaoudi said they were still wait­ing for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.

Swiss 'no' to vote for women

On April 3, a group of womeq hailed a taxi outside the gates to attend a rally sponsored by the ' Comnmnist Socialist Vanguard Party. The "Barbus" (bearded ones) inter­vened and persuaded the taxi driver not to take them.

Aisha said the women then de­cided to walk to the rally but a few hundred metres down the street they were physically assaulted by a man who carried a whip.

"Our programme consists of tar­getting places of ill repute such as the university dormitory ... to intervene in cases that touch Islamic moral­ity. "

AA said his group eschewed vio­lence and ' ''pseudo-Moslems'' were responsible for the whipping inci­dent. But feminist leaders say there have been too many cases where religious zeal fanned by fundamen­talist preachers has spilled over into violence.

The fundamentalist tide is setting back ' efforts by feminist groups to overturn the 1984 family law, which they said violated ' a constitutional ban on sexual discrimination.

The law requires women to obey their husbands and gives men more rights than responsibilities in cases of divorce.

But many women have joined the fundamentalist , movement and the women's el-Irchad (Spiritual Guid­ance) Association complains the family law does not go far enough in applying Islamic law.

APPENZELL • For the third time in two decades, Switzerland's last bastion of male supremacy on Sunday refused to give women the vote in local affairs.

In a colourful ceremony, the tradi­tional all-male legislative assembly of the canton (state) of Appenzell­Rhodes interior massively rejected a government -proposed constitutional amendment that would have intro­duced full suffrage for women. The vote was by a show of hands at the annual outdoor assembly of adult male and sword-carrying citizens.

Swiss women won the vote on federal matters two decades ago, and the federal constitution was revised to proclaim equal rights ' for both sexes 10 years ago. '

" Life styles have changed here, too," Beat Graf, the newly-elected head of the mini-state's government had told the assembled 4 000 men earlier in urging unanimous support for the proposed change. "We can­not forever refuse to join the' devel­opment in the other cantons. ' ,

But the only two assembly mem­bers who took the rostrum after him both spoke up against the proposal. "It does not mean that we think that women are worth less, " one of them said. "But it would not make women happier. If they were happier in the countries where they have the vote, I would immediately say yes." ,

With a predominantly Roman Catholic population of 13 000, moun­tainous, rural AppenzelI-Rhodes in­terior is Switzerland's smallest state and one of its poorest.

The decision on Sunday Was ex­pected to leave the final say on the issue to Switzerland's Supreme Court, the Federal Tribunal. A woman who is a resident of the canton has filed a constitutioruiI complaint, invoking the federal constitution's equal rights article.

WOMEN of Namibia will hold their next meeting this Saturday, May 5, 15hOO sharp, at the Rossing Foundation Education Centre, Rand Street, Khomasdal.

On My Own

I have no wife I have no lover I have no friend Nobody to talk to I am on my own

I look left from me People are happy I look right f rom me People are sad I look up from me -As sign of warning I look down from me People are all dead But I,just on my own

With my lovely two ears I hear all good things I hear all sad things Poor I, on my own

With my lovely two eyes . I see beautiful happenings I see awful happenings Poor I, on my own

No wife, no lover, No friend to comfort me. Nobody to talk to I am on my own.

Lost Identity

(Written bv Kaleni MHivalwa in 1980 in Limbe, Cameroon) A kind of person 1 am: Living but dead, Speaking but dumb, Hearing but deaf, Human yet not, Rich but poor. Where then is my dignity?

There were days When under the moon We sang songs of praise,

Told stories of happy times, Danced and swung waists Like soft waves of the ocean;

My ancestors and I Ate from the same bowl, Smiled when asleep, Laughed when awake, Played like identical children, Ran about in a free land, Because I had my dignity.

Life was abundant in me. 1 lived and breathed Fresh air of freedom. Peace was allover, Waters flowed amicably~ Trees swayed with musical rhythm. Sweet melody of birds made me thrill with pride.

It is a time to remember When our horses were dressed In ivory sun-beads Matched by golden hooves, In a land of gold and silver, Green, grassed and watered By Nature - "Ya Kalunga".

A NEW, "progressive;' action group has been formed to campaign to keep Namibia's fragile environment intact.

Call1ed simply. Earfulife, the new group meets this evening, and all those wanting to be actively involved in environmental issues are urged to attend.

Earthlife spokesperson Dave Cole says the group is concerned with wider environmental issues and not just those of nature conservation as existing , 'wildlife' , organisations

' tended to be. "Namibia has one of the most

fragile ecologies on the planet - one that allows us to make few mis­takes," states an Earthlife leaflet.

So far, Namibia's environment has been relatively unharmed compared with other countries, so it is impor­tant to keep it that way, says Cole.

Potential issues to be addressed by Earthlife include: the country's grow­ing litter problem; land, air and sea pollution; the depletion of fish stocks; desert and thornbush encroachment on productive agricultural land; the "disasterous" effects organochemi-

Heartbreak over heroes

PLEASE allow me space in the people's paper to add some views on certain points regarding the conclu­sion of our struggle which was long, bitter, bloody and resulted in fear, loss of life and a violation of human rights. But finally we have achieved our goal through hardship and sacri­fice.

• Firstly, I was deeply disappointed, and I think: almost the entire N amib­ian nation will. agree, that April 1 passed silently without even a com­memoration service for last year when many of our brave young men and women Plan. combatants were mas­sacred by the combined forces of the SAP, SADF and SWAlF . .

These freedom fighters lost their lives because of the ignorance of Namibia's former coloniser, by ig­noring the principles of Resolution 435, and a lack of proper monitoring by the Untag forces.

• Secondly, it appears as if our Plan fighters have been forgotten. It is very painful to see these brave young men and women in wban areas forced to tum to less desirable activi­ties just to get some money.

Many of us are heartbroken to see some of these brave fighters who were crippled by war, or who are blind, struggling to go to the place where they must pick up their ~y food rations.

• Thirdly, many Namibians were shocked to see thereappointment of dangerous enemies of justice - people who even campaigned against Swapo coming to power; people who turned a blind eye when Koevoet tortured, raped, destroyed homes and mur­dered our people.

Here I particulady refer to the likes of Piet Fouche and Derek Brune, a well-known South African agent who spied on the ANC. I agree with reconciliation, but I totally disagree with the type of reconciliation in which the most feared people are appointed to posts where they have caused the suffering of many of our people - like the police force.

Finally, we Namibians would be happy if most of the police stations throughout the country were put under former Plan commanders.

Think of the majority

I FULLY agree with Dr Joseph Dies­cho's opinion piece on reconciliation (The Namibian, April 6, 1990).

The government must really think: about this whole concept of recon­ciliation.1t is a good idea to build our nation, but somehow, somewhere along the road, it appears to be losing its meaning.

It appears as if the government wants to reconcile with those people who are a security risk.

The feelings of the majority have to be taken into consideration. After all they are the ones who voted the government into power.

People like Piet Fouche, Meyer and Brune are part of a bad Namibian history. We need to be protected from them. No one can change his beliefs overnight - if they appear to, then it can only be an outward show.

Fouche and company believed that the blacks were only there to pro­mote comnnmism and to cause trouble.

Now the same men are responsible for our security.

The government m~st be more concerned withthe nation rather than with the leadership!

We don't need racial reconcili­ation, we need national reconcili­ation - reconciliation to ·please the nation, not to' blind the nation. It is unfair to reconCile with one section of the community only. Sooner or later the people will begin to doubt the ability of the elected leaders.

We also want recognition for our fallen heroes. A moment of silence during ceremonies is not enough. Their commitment to the struggle has to be made public for the nation to know and to remember- not only for a few privileged people in a hall.

The leadership has been outside the country for many years.

Therefore they have to go back to the nation and ask them what they want-notmerelypronouncepolicies

THE NAMIBIAN

without consulting those who mat­ter. After all, the leadership is in power because of the masses.

Some observers will say it is too early for the government to be criti­cised. But I believe that with criti­cism it will Ie am to improve.

And is it not too early to appoint the Fouches in high positions in se­curity? We know the Swapo leader­ship is very security-conscious, but what about the security of the whole nation? Will the nation feel secure with these sort of people to protect them?

There are many other people who are fit for these positions.

The government must be careful in its policies. When a gap develops between the leadership and led, it always creates opening for real ene­mies. Do not try to please the whites and neglect the blacks.

Going too far?

I STRONGLY support Dr Joseph Diescho's statement in The Namib­ian of April 6 on reconciliation. We appear to be going too far in practic­ing reconciliation. I would suggest that our leaders be careful in determining who we con­sider becoming reconciled with, otherwise we could end up risking our independence for which we sac­rificed so much.

The Namibian people in general do not consider reconciliation the way our elected leaders are practic­ing it. We demand true reconcili­ation which results from a genuine change of heart, not sham reconcili­ation.

We are not against whites being' appointed, but we do not trust some of those white gentlemen who have been given key p<;>sitions. Unless they can prove that they really have changed, we will continue to regard them as the same ones who were responsible for our suffering .. '

The Namibian people cannot af­ford to believe that those who have been crying 'crucify him' have changed into comrades simply by starting to shout 'Hosanna' after Swapo's victory.

NAITI KAKOLO Oshakati

Don't change the time!

RECENTLY the subject of moving the clocks back one hour has been brought up again and it appears that there are those whq consider it a simple and logical step forward.

I am sure that I am not the only one . who has severe doubts as to the ne­

cessity or the wisdom of this step. Has anyone actually considered the consequences of having the sun rise and set one hour earlier than it does at the moment?

I would like to provoke some public debate in the matter since I'm very concerned that the clocks may be put back without anyone being given the chance to voice their opinions.

What we are being asked to· do is to give up an hour of daylight in the afternoon/evening in exchange for an extra hour in the moming. For Windhoek, for example, this effec­tively means that this evening (19

April) the sun would set at 5.37pm, havingrisenat6.05am, instead of the existing 6.3 7pm and 7.05am. Inmid­winter the sun would rise at approxi­mately 6.30am, an houi earlier than is now the case, but would set just after5pm.

While this may be more conven­ient for children going to school who wouldn't need lights on their bicycles during June and July, what about all those thousands of people who actu­ally like a bit of daylight after they get home from work?

Think how difficult it will be to have a game of football after work, indeed all outdoor sportsmen and women will suffer, as well as those who just like to enjoy their surround­ings and perhaps play with the kids in daylight when they get home from work

I am quite sure that an extra hour of daylight in the evening can be more usefully spent than an extra hour in the morning.

Many people are still sleeping (especially during the longer sum­mer days when the sun will rise be­fore 5am instead of 6am), and those who find themselves fOlCed to change their sporting activities from eve­ning to early morning will probably have some difficulty in gettiTIg their teams together for a 6am kick-off! Those long summer evenings will also disappear; on the longest day of the year the sun will set at around quarter-to-seven instead of quarter­to-eight.

If all this sounds rather grim, then spare a thought for those people liv-

ing in the east of the country, such as the Caprivians. They can look for­ward to nightfall shortly after 4pm in the winter!

I would appeal to those who come to consider this question to give it a lot of thought. How are the inhabi­tants of Namibia going to be af­fected?

It is not important to tie in pre­cisely with international time zones. There are many countries who do not conform precisely with international time zones and with good reason!

Before any decisions are taken, please make the public aware of the consequences .andsound out their opinions. I believe that it will be . found that putting back the clocks will turn out to be something the people do not want.

Vestiges of apartheid

I MUST commend Dr Diescho for giving such a clear and good analysis of the Swapo government's recon­ciliation drive (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Opinion, April 6, 1990).

There is a lot of truth in what he says, especially about the appoint­ment of people like Fouche, Meyer and Brune as well as about the gov­ernment bending over backward to appease the white population.

A lot us, particularly in this part of our country, are disappointed that our internal security is to be headed by people who got their ranks for bravely defending apartheid.

To some of us, these people are vestiges of the racist apartheid re­gime and all that went with it. Did we fight all those years just to have the same people doing the same jobs?

I hope our leaders know what they are doing. As far as things go, "leop­ards do not chlinge their spots' ',eve~ when they are caged.

THE Professor Molotov Golden Pickaxe Award fOJ.: May Day Hero~ ism this year goes to the two com­rades who walked where few work­ers have dared to walk before - the Wika Carnival Band Concert in Windhoek's Zoo Park.

Whether they were there inten­tionally or because they mistakenly took the gatherlDg to be an impromptu May Day rally, one will never know. But the bold duo - dressed in overalls and hard hats - sauntered into the amphitheatre and took their seats amid the German carnival-goers.

Not a word was said, but not one

white face would plook itself and . attached torso within two metres of our gallant comrades .. .not that the latter seemed to mind, preferring instead to politely listen to and clap to the music just like everyone else gathered there.

As far as the workers were con­cerned, this was their day and they would do what they liked. As far as the carnival-goers were concerned this was their day and they would do what they and their predecessors have been doing for decades.

I guess it all depends on whether you say Viva or Wika which, after

And now for the Platinum Con­dom Award for Audacious Foreplay, which this year goes to the couple who were doing the unmentionable on the lawn at the State House at the end of the President's May Day cocktail party . Was this really proto­col, one asks?

Meanwhile, the Professor Molo­tov Spanner in the Works award goes to John" I wish I had never heard of May Day" Y a Otto for his masterful handling of Tuesday's celebrations. Nice one, John!

DESIGNER KILLING 'IN' AMONG AMERICAN KIDS CHICAGO - It is a modem urban phenomenon in America: kids rob- . bing - and sometimes killing - other kids over the hottest designer sneak­ers, sunglasses or athletic jackets.

In Chicago alone, four young men have died in little more than a year in violent confrontations over multi­coloured, satiny jackets, which are splashed with athletic team logos across the back.

On an icy day this past winter, an ll-year-old boy was forced to hand over his 61-dollar gym shoes to four youths, then walk several blocks to his home barefoot, one of scores of incidents that occur each month, Chicago police say.

" Kids who try to keep their jack­e •. ~ are beaten or killed," Chicago t' :.iice commander Sollie Vin:ent said. 0' 's a very cold, callous frame of

mind." To combat the problem, schools

from Baltimore to Miami to Los Angeles are falling back on an old idea: dress codes. Some public schools are even requiring uniforms, tradi-

tionally associated with private schools.

"It's a definite trend," said Tim Callahan, of the National Associa­tion of State Boards of Education. "If clothing becomes a disruption to education, then we certainly are supportive of removing that barrier. "

, 'Starter' , jackets, the flashy jack­ets named for the manufacturer Starter Sportswear Inc., have triggered at least four murders in Chicago, police said.

In a grim acknowledgement of the garment's popularity, the police department last year created a sepa­rate category for "Starter jacket murders" in its citywide statistics.

Educators say dress codes that eliminate' some popular items and, in some cases, gang colours, not only help to stem violence but allow stu­dents to concentrate on learning.

" We try to discourage children from buying hot items," says Jim Murray, assistant principal at a middle school in a troubled Chicago neigh­bourhood. "When they don't wear

Director Namibian School of Mining Technology Rossing Uranium Limited, a lead ing force in the mining industry of Namibia, is to develop

a National School of Mining Technology'.

The company wishes to appoint a director of the school who will join th e project team

set up to design and establish the school. This position wil l involve liaison with

governmenta l departments, educational Vlstitutions and the mining industry and will

have full execut ive responsibi fities for the management of the school.

The school is aiming to provide technical education in Engineering , Mining, Surveying,

Geology, and Metallurgy disciplines to diploma level to meet the needs of the mining and

mining support industry in Namibia.

The school is expected to be sited in Arandis , a fast growing town with good

recreational fac il ities 60 kilometres from the holiday resort of Swakopmund . Students

at the school will be both full -time res idential and part -time non-res idential.

As the posil ion of Director is to be supported by Rossing, employment cond itions will be

." ' . .Isually allractive for the educational field. The person sought musl have an

appropriate academic background , experience of technical training for the min ing

industry and strong and proven administrative and leaderShip skills .

those items to school, they don't have problems. ' ,

Alberta Mitchell, a counsellor at Hendricks Academy, said a new uniform policy instituted at the Chi­cago public elementary sc!lool was "changing attitudes".

"We are trying to eliminate the problem of children feeling like they have to have designer-type clothes. It seems to have a calming effect," she said. In many of the nation's largest public school districts, dress codes <lIe the prerogative of individ­ual schools.

In Baltimore, uniforms are recom­mended, but not mandatory, for ele­mentary school students, and a dress code is suggested for secondary schools. Educators say uniforms now are the norm at 74 of the city's 118 elementary schools.

School officials can't recall any . crimes over clothing since the policy was instituted last fall, and Balti­more police say the problem virtu­ally has disappeared.

"It still happens, but not with any frequency," said police spokesper­son Dennis Hill.

In the next academic year, high schools in Detroit will have the op­tion of adopting a dress code. The new policy by Detroit's Board of

WINNERS of the Professor Molotov Golden Pickaxe Award for May Day, the two comrades who took their rightful place in the audience at Tuesday's Wjka Carnival Ban«filConcert. Note the amount of space "fellow" concert-goers have left between them and the two workers.

Jducation was prompted in part by the December shooting of a student over his 135-dollar goose-down jacket

In one New York City neigh­bOUlhood, a high school principal earlier this year barred students from wearing removable gold caps on their teeth, saying the faddish caps were robberies waiting to happen.

But the new policies have not been cheered in all quarters.

In March, high school students in Palmdale, California, enraged by a new anti-gang dress code, boycotted . classes and pelted a sheriff's patrol car with rocks.

And there is some support for stu­dent resistance to the dress-code trend.

Laws allowing schools to require uniforms are " a way of trying to see

that all students look alike, act alike and think alike, " said Jane Whicher, who represents the American Civil Liberties Umon in Illinois:

"It's important for children to have an appreciation of their own indi­viduality as well as the constitutional values that protect that individual­ity," she said.

Requiring uniforms might also pose a financiallrurdle for the poor, Whicher said, but some families are applaud­ing the trend.

"Parents seem to really like the idea, " said Shel Erlich, a spokesper­son for the Los Angeles public school system, the nation's second-largest. "It certainly cuts doWn the amount of arguing in the morning over what the kids should wear to schooL"

die ' nuwe departement -is heelwat reaksie ontvang nadat die Minister van Buitelandse Sake, Theo-Ben Gurirab, onlangs in 'n TV -onder­houd bekend gemaak het dat me05e gewerf sal word.

Dis 'n bekende feit dat die State­bond se Sekretilriaat in Londenin die opleiding van Namibie se diploma­tieke koIps sal help. In die proses is 'n gewese ambassadeuT van Afrika aangestel om die fisiese opleiding te behartig. J

Na wat verneem word;beplan die departemeni om ongeveer 300 mense op te lei om binnekort Namibiese ambassades en konsulate in die buite­land te beman.

In die stadium blyk rut dat ~olle ambassades in Moskou, Londen en N.ew York vir Namibie sal opgaan. Verteenwoordigers sal egter na die VereDigde Volkeorganisie, Organis­asie yir Afrika-eenheid en ander belangrike werelddele gestuurword .

Volge05 die woordvoerder sal die kursus later vandeesmaand aangebied word nadat die aansoeke deeglik deurgegaan is.

Die goedgekeurde lede van die diplomatieke korps sal dan ook deur die Regeringsdienskommissie in die staatsdie05 aangestel "moet word, alvorens opleiding in aile ems begin.

Aansoekers wat belang stel in die werk wag met opgehoue asems op die departement se reaksie.

'n Rubriek deur Pius Ounaiski

Nuwe term: Vertroue VERTROUE is ' n basiese beboefte in enige samelewing wat van onskatbare belang is. Daarsonder kan geen mens, buis, instansies, organisasie, regering of die wereld klaarkom nie. Daarom glo ek dat daar in die nuwe Namibie bard gewerk moet word aan verboudinge - soliede verboudinge wat gegrond is op wedersydse vertroue. (Ek probeer doelbewus die woord 'nasionaleversoening' vermy omdat die woord sedert sy eerste beslag kwaai verwring is met die aankoms van die uiters ongewilde, onverkose Regering van Nasionale Eenbeid, wat deur die Groot Krokodil ingestel is. (Toe ware onafhanklikbeid vanjaar gekom bet, bet die woord vir die swartmense byna 'n vloekwoord geword - omdat dit deesclae die rou smaak nalaat dat dit beteken die status quo moet voortgesitword en die wrede ongelykbeid moet bly. (Daarom boop ek om 'n nuwe term in die Namibiese politiek te bring: Vertroue .•. vertroue •.• vertroue •.. vertroue ••• vertroue ••. vertroue ••• ) Ek wens dat ons voortaan vertroue-politiek sal voer - 'n politiek wat met die vars briesie sy inslag sal vind op aile gebiede van die samelewing: finansieel, kerklik, maatskaplik, ekonomies ensovoorts. Wanneer die dag aanbreek dat onsmekaar - swart en wit - kan vertrou dat die een Die 'n geileime agenda bet wat by in die mOll voer en alles in die boek uitbaai om die ander uit te oorH! Die, gaan ware nasionale versoening vanselfsprekend .wees. Dan sal stabiHteit, ekonomiese vertroue wat miljoene beleggings sal laat instroom, vrerle, wedersydse begrip en ordelike samelewing ook die vrugte wees. , Die jare van koloniale onderdrukking, wat met ' n vernietigingstog meer as eeu gelede begin bet toe duisende lew ens en kosbare grond van die swartmense weggeneem is, bet 'n diep wond nagelaa t wat nooit sal genees indien ' n atmosfeer van vertroue nie geskep kan word nie. Die diepgewortelde wantroue wat die swartmense jeens die witmense koester ~ en omgekeerd: Die witmense bet ook uiters min vertroue in bul swart landsburgers - moet aangespreeken uitgewerk word. En dit moet nou gedoen word terwyl ons besig is om die fonda mente van ' n ouwe Namibie te Ie! In Namibie bet Afrika 'n keerpunt bereik. Hier bet Afrika se waterskeiding gekomen die geskiedenis van die kontinent sal van die punt berskryf moetword. . Hier moet sommige witmense se denke 'n goeie klap kry dat dit 180 grade draai dat bulle opbou d.ink dat 'n swartmens nie sy gelyke is nie; dat by verstandelik swakker af is; dat by nie kan regeer nie; dat by lui is; dat Afrika se ekonomiee net in trurat bly; dat by gemaak is om die boutkapper en waterdraer te wees; dat by Die wei ruik Die en daarom in die lokasie moet bly; dllt by nie vertrou kan word nie om geld te kry van 'n bank om 'n onderneming te begin; en dies meer. . Baie swartmense se denke sal ewe bard 'n taai klap moet kry dat bulle besef dat geen mens inferior teenoor 'n ander is nie; dat bulle die beeld van God is en Die minderwaardig boef te wees nie; dat bulle bulselfuit die moeras van armoede kan lig met bul eie vermoe en dat bulle daarom nOll hard moet begin inklim om die wanbalans wat apartheid veroorsaak bet, uit te skakel. Die swartmens sal moet besef dat by bomself aan sy skoenveters wil optel, indien hy boop om opgang en opkoms te maak deur gedurig na die verlede te wys en die blaam op sy wit landsgenote te plaas. Vertroue is nie iets wat maklik kom nie. Ons sal tot stiIstand moet kom en besluit om aIle ' skelmgeit' eenkant te sit en in die nuwe vloeibare situasie hard eerlik met mekaar te wees. Die erge ongelykbeid van die koloniale era en die totstandkoming van ' n nuwe Republiek van Namibie -los van Suid-Afrika - liet die gevolg dat talle nuwe verenigings, unles, vakbonde, kerke en instansies moet bande breek en afstig om eie Namibiese liggame daar te stel. • Die politieke grondverskuiwing is besig om geweldige omwentelinge mee te bring op aIle gebiede. En dit blyk dat ons landgenote wat stewig in die ou apartbeidstelsel was - die maande tussen die uitslag i,n November en onafhanklikbeidsclag - 'n klomp dingetjies gedoen het wat nOll nil 'skelmgeit' ruik. ' . In die verband bet ek vandeesweek verneem dateeli 'groot instansies van bul ou bulle gevra bet om op pensioen te gaan omjong bulle in boe poste t~ plaa~. Dit is ged~n om te verbinder dat die nuwe ~~gering hoe :' aanstellings ~ou,'na onil.flian~likbeid kan maak indie~ die OU bulle sou moeg raak! . In die samesmeltingsprosesse die afgelope tyd op sportgebied, bet 'n mens geb.oor van ontevredenbeid en dat sekere mense voel dat bulle ingeloop is. l

Hierdie ten dense moet nou gekeer word, anders vernietig ons die kosbare skat van vertrouewaarmee"die toekoms taamlike leeg sal wees. In die weke wat kom, gaan bierdie pros~sse van onderbandelinge tussen die verskillende seksies op verskeie vlakke van die samelewing voortgesit word en 'n mens boop dai daar nie weer spieeItjie-spieeltjie gespeel sal word nie. Iemand mag eendag besef dat by 'ge-rob' is en sy woede kan dan probleme skep!

DIE Namibiese vlag het spesiale aandag by verlede week se internasionale handelstentoonstelling in Gabarone getrek. Namibie is vir dieeerste keer by die gesogte tentoonstelling toegelaat en het reeds met die intrapslag baie van die besigheidspersoonlikhede se harte gesteel~ Foto deur Stanley Katzao.

Die besluit van die Reger ing dat die superintendent van die Katima Mulilo-Staatshospitaal, dr. Andre Birkenstock, in sy pos moet aanbiy, het uiteeniopende reaksies onder die verpleegpersoneel van die hospitaal tot gevoig gehad.

Groot ontevredenheid heers onder die personeel, volgens 'n lid van die hospitaal se verpleegpersoneel, wat dit gisteraand aan The Namibian bekend gemaak het.

Dit volg nadat diC? Minister van Gesondheid en Welsyn, dr. Nicky Iyambo, vandeesweek op Katima Mulilo die Regering se standpunt in die Birkenstock-aangeleentheid uitgespel het.

Hy het gese die beslui~ is dat dr. Birkenstock moet aanbly en dat die personeel, indien hulle verder on­tevrede is, die saak na die Ombuds-man moet neem. <

Dr. Iyambo, wat 'n verpleegper­soneel van.sowat 150 lede toegespreek bet, bet verduidelik dat die Namibiese grondwet voorsiening daarvoor ffi!Ulk dat bes.taande werkskontr~e <leur die nuwe Regering gerespekteer moet· word.

Hy het egter gese die Regering kan weI enige persoon enige tyd uit diens stel, maar dat daar'grondige redes vir so 'n stap moet wees. "Ons kan nie

dr. Birkenstock slegs op grond van julie beweringe uit diens stel nie," het hy gesS. Daar moet bewyse wees dat hy. weI die beweerde oortredige gepleeg het, het hy bygevoeg.

Verpleegpersoneel van die hospi­taal het 'n petisie twee weke gelede opgestel, waarin dr. Birkenstock se onmiddelike bedanking geeis word. As redes het die petiese aangevoer dat dr. Birkemstock staatseiendom virpersoonlike gebruikaanwend. Hy was daarvan beskuldig dat hy die hospitaal se kragboot, wat vir me­diese bystand in tye van vloed ge­bruik word, vir die afgelope ses maande vir persoonlike gebruik aangewend het. Ook is daarvan beskuldig dat hy 'n gedeelte van die hospitaal gebou as ' 0 private kliniek aanwend waar hy pasiente spreek om addisionele inkomste te verdien. .

Die petisie het verder aangevoer dat die dokter sekere verpleegper­soneellede voortrek, terwyl andere spesiale behandeling van hom ontvang.

Dr. Iyambohetegtergesehyhet 'n week twee van sy top amptenare in

die departement, die Permanente Sekretaris, dr. Solly Amadhila, en die Direkteur van Gemeenskapsges­ondheidsdienste, dr. Kraus, na Ka­tima gestuur het om die aangeleen­theid te oodersoek.

Die terugvoering van die twee amptenare was egter dat die dokter hom nie skuldig gemaak bet aan enige van die oortredinge wat in die petisie beweer was nie, het hy gese.

Dit is weI waar dat hy amOO.lansgelde hef wanneer buitestedelikes die ambulans gebruik, het hy gese. Dr. Birkenstockhet op 'n vorige geleen­theid aan hom verduidelik dat hier­die mense die ambulans laat roep, sonder om klinieke, wat inhul omge­wings is, te raadpleeg.

Hy het gese dat alle misverstande van die verlede vergeet moet 'word " in die naam van vrede en nasioriale versoening." Daar moet 'n nuwe dialoog begin word; die van koliek­tiewe vraagstuk-oplossing. Dr Birk­enstock moet, as 'n beginselsaak, sy deur oophou vir die personeel en hul probleme, het hy gesS.

It's Chiefs and Swallows in the Castle Challenge

CONRAD ANGULA

DEFENDING champions lwisa Kaizer Chiefs face their traditional rivals Moroka Swallows in the final of the Castle Challenge Cup on May 19 at First National Bank's Soccer City. .

counterthis season after they clashed in the semi-final of the Iwisa Maize Meal Spectacular at Soccer City.

THE NAMIBIAN

Chiefs, 2-1 winners over a gutsy Jomo Midas Cosmos in their electri­fying semi-final second-leg tie at the FNB stadium last Saturday, will have their bands full against the rejuve­nated Swallows who walloped Double Action Sundowns 3-1 in the other second-leg semi-final on Sunday.

Swallows, with an edge over their much-fancied opponents, had only themselves to blame when they went down 2-1 at the final whistle. Players like Calvin Petersen, Rudolph Ra­pale go, Les Grobbler and Owen da Gama tormented Chiefs' defence for the biggest part of the outing but failed to convert' their scoring chances into goals~

CIllEFS' mid-field inspiration and the man who has led to Swallows' downfall on numerous occasions, Scara Thindwa (white attire), has Swallows' players defending desperately during their lwisa Maize Meal Spectacular semi-final outing won 2-1 by the Amakhosi. Although Scara did not score in this clash, he could be the man to watch on May 19.

It should have been a dreadful day for Brazilian coach Stan 'Screamer' Tshabalala who hoped to register his second cup victory in a month.

Sundowns have already clinched the BP Top Eight trophy and with their elimination from the Castle Challenge it seemes to be all systems go for Chiefs who vowed to make another clean sweep this season.

Swallows, known for their devas­tating form against Chiefs, are also looking at their poor finishing and lack of consistency whenever they meet the South African cup special­ists.

It will be the second time Swal­lows and Chiefs meet in a cup en-

They might as well kiss the cup goodbye if they allow this to happen again in the Castle Challenge final because Chiefs are well-known for their destructive form in cup finals.

Swallows can prepare themselves for a battle during th: entire 90 minutes as lliefs are known to squeeze thrrugh in the earlier rounds only to strike form in the final, especially against a team from Soweto.

Chiefs, who booked their place in the final via a last desperate goal

netted by their live-wire striker Fanie Madida, will again rely heavily on the scoring form of Shane MacGre­gor, who opened the scoring against Cosmos on Saturday.

Also at band for the league leaders will be the ultra-talented Marks Maponyane, the powerful ex-Swazi captain Scara Thindwa, the dribbling Abel Shongew and, of course, their talented mid-field trio of Ace Khuse, Doctor Khumalo and their destroyer, Wellington Manyathi.

Also set to keep the home fires burning will be their acrobatic and reliable keeper William Shongwe, who has only conceded five goals in

THE NABF boxing team that will represent Namibia at the Federation of the Eastern and Central African Amateur Boxing Championships in Tanzania later in June. The team is standing, from left: Kobus Swiegers (assistant-coach), Bell Awaseb (Rossing/heavyweight), Nestor Thobias (CDM/light middlweight), Sallie Shivute (CDMiiniddieweight), Cowboy Hangula (CDM/light middleweight), Piet Theodor (CDMllightweight), Harry Simon (lightwelter), Jason Petrus (CDM/welterweight), Joe

nine league outings. But he could face a menacing threat

from top scorer Noel Cousins who struck form against the Brazilians on . Sunday by netting a neat hat-trick.

Cousins is known for his oppor­tunism and could pose a threat to the Chiefs defence, led by the cobra-like Mark Tovey and captain Howard Freeze. .

Calvin Petersen, any "defender's dread and the player most coaches would love to have in their teams, could also cause nightmares to the Chiefs last line of defence with"his

tireless runs down the flanks and his dynamic crosses whenever in top gear.

Many observers believe this will be a match to remember - a dream final they say - but I am also looking forward to this clash of the giants, especially since it will be the first final clash between Chiefs and Swal­lows after their IPS Cup final last season won by Chiefs. But SW1illows have reached excellent formnow.and it could be a different story on May 19. And in addition, final encounters between these two teams have never failed to thrill the fans.

Dutch prospects have soared since Ruud Gullit returned to limited ac­tion for AC Milan after a knee injury. But even if Gullit isn't fully recov­ered, Van Basten's offensive inven­tions and a strong mid-field should keep Holland in the thick of compec tition.

West Germany, which has reached the World Cup finals five times and won two titles, fields match-winners such as Lothar Mattbaeus, Jurgen Klinsmann and Andy Moeller. Mat­thaeus and Klinsmann scored goals in the 3-3 draw with Uruguay.

Italy, the bookmakers' favo~rite, should benefit from the support of . home crowds. .

The team is strong at mid-fiel!! and defence, but must improve at the front line to repeat the triumph of 1982 and avoid the flop of 1986 in Mexico.

Striker Gianluca Vialli, troubled by a foot injury, did not score a single

goal in five warm-ups, sharply re­ducing the offensive efficiency of the Italian team.

Young striker Salvatore Schillaci could boost the attack. And Paolo Rossi, hero of Italy's 1982 World Cup triumph in Spain, is still a scor­ing threat.

Barely behind in talent are four other European sides.

Belgium fields one of the world's best goalies, Michel Preud 'Homme, and 24-year-old forward Marc De­gryse.

England, seeded in Group F so that its violence-prone fans can be se­cluded on the island of Sardini~, upset powerful Brazil in Wembley in Man:h. It boasts an exceptional goalkeeper, Peter Shilton, and fine wingers John Barnes and Chris Waddle.

Yugdlliavia relies on talented mid­fielder Dragan Stojkovic, and Spain hopes that brilliant striker Emilio Butragueno will take it to the top.

DALGLISH FINISHES IN FINE STYLE

KENNY Dalglish spent 20 minutes in front of his adoring Anfield fans doing what he likes best - playing for Uverpool- before his title-winners r eceived the English League championship t rophy on Tuesday. Uverpool, who .clinched the crown on Saturday, celebrated by beating Derby 1-0 after manager DalgUsh came on as a substitute to roars of ' approval from the near-capacity crowd of more than 38 000. . Dalgllsh was on hand to see Gary Gillespie score the only goal In the 8Ist minute. England . keeper -Peter Shilton, baving -earlier shown dazzling form, could only parry Israel striker Ronnie Rosenthal's close-range drive to Gillespie, who turned it into an empty net. At the final whistle, ~aptain Alan Hansen, ~ne of several players ruled out by injury, r eceived the league trophy and the traditional league champi­onship trophy from Doug Ellis, a member of the league management committee and, ironically, chairper son of runners-up Aston Villa.

PAGE CLINCHES S.E. SERIES

AFTER a lone breakaway lasting nearly. 30 kilometres, Henry Page (Cymot) managed to hold off a late challenge from Mannie Heymans (Business Services) and the two crossed the line together. Johan van Niekerk (Business Services), who had also been active throughoutthe day, tlnished third a few metres behind. . Seniors, veterans and juniors rode together over 76km and the bunch stayed together until the 25km mark where a few riders dropped back on the ftrst hill on the Brakwater road. During a second lap Van Niekerk and Henry Page broke away, building up a lead of SOOm very quickly. On the hill~ Page got away on his own and the bunch caught Van Niekerk after a few kUometres. Meanwhile, Page battled on alone despite dift'icult wind conditions while the bunch tried in vain to close the gap. With less than three kilometres to go Mannie Heymans and Johan van Niekerk attacked and set off on their own after Page. With less than three kilometers to go they caught the tiring leader, and it is great credit to Henry Page that he had the strength to contest the spr int. In the race over 45km for juveniles and women, Sascha Kipping (Centau­rus) was first across the line well ahead of the next juvenile, Gunther Klein (Centaurus). These two were, however, separated by Martie Brand who put in a fine performance to win the women's section.

ALBION TO MIX WITH THE ELITE

WEST Bromwlch Albion, which narrowly escaped relegation to English soccer's Third Division, will be mixing it with the elite when they travel to the United States next month to take on Spanish champion Real Madrid in the San Jose Cup. Other clubs in the four-team tournaments are BrazU's Vasco da Gama and West Germany' s FC Cologne. West Bromwich meet Real on May 18 in a match to be televized live in Spain and the United States though not in Britain. The two other teams will meet in the final May 20. As part of a two-week end-of-season tour, West Bromwich will also face the Arizon Condors in Phoenix on May 22.

SELES RANKS THIRD

EXACTLY one year after she upset Chris Evert to capture her first professional tennis titie, teenager Monica Seles is ranked, third in the world. "Going to number two Is pretty hard," Seles, the 16-year-old sensation from Yugoslavia, said. " If I could stay at number three for the entiry year, I would be satisfied. My goal is to do my best, really do well in Grand Slam tournaments." Using a two-handed backhand and forehand, Seles is one of the hardest hitters on the women ' s tour. "If Seles had Stem's serve, we'd all be out of the game," Martina Navratilova said. "Her ground­strokes are incredible." Seles, ranked 88th a year ago, managed to climbed to number three behind Stem Graf and Navratilova despite a shoulder injury that slowed her progress earlier this year. "It was my left shoulder. It was inflamed," she said. "I couldn't lift my arm. But now there' s no problem. I'm really taking good care of it."

ITALIAN TEAMS AIM FOR EURO RECORD

A record of nine Italian soccer teams - half of the First Division - will go into the European cup competitions next season If AC Milan, Fiorentina and Sampdoria win this year's finals. Title holders qualify for the next editions and UEFA, soccer's governing body in Europe, said Monday no other country -has had nine teams In Its three competitions. Milan would join new Italian champIon Napoll in the Champions Cup if It defeats Benfica in the May 23 final in Vienna while Sampdorla would add to Juventus of Turin in the Cup Winners' Cup by beating Belgium's Anderlecht In the May 9 f'mal. J uventus qualified for the Cup Winners' by taking the Italian Cup last week. Internazlonale of Milan and Roma qualified for next season's UEF A Cup and wUl bejolned by Fiorentina If the Florentine team wins this year' s final against Juventus. Bologna and Atalanta, which finished behind Milan and Sampdorla In the Italian major league, would get a berth in the UEFA Cup oniy incase Milan and Sampdori-a win ~he European titles. Italian soccer already went Into the record books this year by entering four teams in the cup finals.

WORLD CUP SPECIAL: "

FIVE TEAMS TIPPED TO TAKE FOOTBALL'S

PRESTIGE CUP FIVE powerful teams - two from Latin America and three from Europe - fit the profile of the 1990 Cup champion. Cup defender Argentina and European champion the Netherlands top the list of favourites, along with host Italy, Brazil and West Germany.:

Belgium, Yugoslavia, Spain and England also have to be reckoned among the potential winners of the World Cup.

In a tournament where close mark­ing should keep most scores low, Superstar forwards 'like Diego Mara­dooa of Argentina or Marco van Basten of the Netherlands may prove to be the deciding factors.

, 'Maradona and Van Basten are almost unstoppable players and can make the. difference between ' their teams and the others," Italian man­ager Azeglio Vi9ini said.

Vicini believes that Brazil and West Germany, combining excellent team­work with individual talent, could join Argentiria and the Netherlands in the semi-finals.

" It 's up to others to 'predict Italy among the final four," said Vicini, who hopes to lead Italy to an un­precedented fourth World Cup.

The first of 52 matches in 121taJ.­ian cities pits Argentina against Cameroon on June 8 in Milan. The final is on July 8 in Rome.

Argentina. often Maradona and other stars performing in the Euro­pean leagues, has not belln impres-

sive in Worid Cup warm-ups. Its forwards were shut out by rival

defences in nine consecutive games going back to July 1989. In April, Argentina managed only one goal against the Scottish Club Linfield.

, 'EXhibition matches are arranged just to test new tactics and players and improve teamwork," said Ar­gentina mimager Bilardo. ;

, 'You will see the real strength and the determination of the best teams when World Cup 'action begins."

Maradona, who plays for Italy's Napoli, is 29 and has been troubled

. by back injuries. However, doctors say he should be in top form to help defend the cup won by Argentina in 1986 in Mexico.

Other favourites have had mixed performances in warm-up matches, too. Italy scored only two goals in six games, including a 1-0 loss to Brazil. The Netherlands was held to a score­less draw by Italy and lost 2-1 to the Soviet Union and 1-0 to Brazil in three recent games,

West Gennany was upset by Fnux:e; a team which failed to qualify for the World Cup, in February. Last Wednes­day, West Germany drew 3-3 with

Uruguay, another World Cup final­ist.

Brazil registered narrow victories over the Italians and Dutch earlier this year, then was beaten 1-0 by England.

Manager Sabastiao Lazaroni said he was not worried. Lazaroni, the first Brazilian manager to use a sweeper to tighten up the defence, noted that his team allowed oniy three goals in 15 matches.

"Few goals will be scored in the next world competition, so you need a good defence to protect narrow leads," Lazaroni said. By adopting a Europe~-style defence with Mauro Galv'ao as a sweePer, Brazil should be more balanced.

But it still has dazzling forwards such as Valdo, Careca and Bebeto to provide offensive punch, and Ro­mario should boost the attack if he recovers from a broken leg.

Brazil is the only country besides Italy to have won thIee World Cup tournaments, but its last triumph was in 1970 in Mexico when Pele was still playing.

STRONG KICK-OFF FOR PREMIER LEAGUE

CONRAD ANGULA

A BAPTISM of fire is expected and upsets cannot be ruled out when the Namibia Football Association Premier League kicks offin various parts of the country this weekend. The going is expected to be tough for newcomers to the tough competition. like Arsenal, Civics, SKW and Ramblers · when they face some of the former Super League giants like Explorer XI, Blue Waters, BS Tigers, Afr ican Stars and Sonmo Budai.

But teams like Ramblers and Arse­nal proved that they can stand their own against the best of the country after their first-class perfonnances during the BS Tigers soccer tourna­ment last weekend;

Both teams, especially Ramblers, have put up sterling perfonnances against Stars and Nashua Black Af­rica in the semi-finals before they were knocked down 4-1 and 3-1 re­spectively.

Ramblers held their own against the highly regarded Lively Lions as they maintained a 1-0 lead through­out the first h;Ufbeforr they finally went down 3-1 to the rampant Lions who were inspired by fonner Civics mid-field star Brian Isacks.

Also capable of staging an upset is the fonner ASA League outfit SKW when they first meet the unpredict­able BS Tigers on Santi-day. SKW, who have already shocked the Ingwen-

yama with a 8-1 slashing during a friendly earlier this season, were runners-up to Ramblers in the ASA League and can also boast one of the best defences in the country.

Both their central defenders were doing duty and tasted blood against the ZimbabweanNational XI for the shadow national side during the Namibian Independence celebrations soccer friendly.

Arsenal will have the mammoth task offacing last year' s league lead­ers Explorer XI at the Kuisebmond Stadium on Saturday. The former NF A outfit will clash against Eleven Arrows at the same venue on Sun­day.

The Kuisebmond Stadium has became the graveyard of most Super League teams in the past five seasons and the Khomasdallads will have to excel if they want to gain full points

. at the weekend.

PREMIER League PRO Elliot Hiskia (left) in deep conversation with executive member of the Confederation of Mrican Football (CAF) Ismail Bhamjee, brother ofNSL Castle League PRO Abdul Bhamjee. The picture was taken at the Katutura Stadium before the BS Tigers final match between Nashua Black Africa and African Stars which ended in a 2·2 draw. The tw:o sides will meet again on a date still to be determined by the organisers.

The possibility of an upset, espe­cially against Arrows, cannot be ignored as the green and gold team has perfonned better than their pre­vious best in,their recent outings. But they are still struggling to find a winning combination.

Also back in action will be smooth­sailing Sarusas Orlando Pirates who will face a struggling SWA Toyota Young Ones at the Khomasdal Commupity Grounds on Saturday in their first outing of the weekend .

The Sea Robbers have shown a beautiful blend of football against traditional rivals Nashua Black Af­rica during their exciting NNSL Easter Tournament first-round clash, and c~uld make another strong come­back on Saturday.

Second on the Buccaneers' slaugh­tering list will be Civics who will have their first real baptism of fire in tough competition at the Sbowgrounds the following day.

Pirates are known for their run­away victories against smaller sides and the outcome of this clash will certainly depend on the mercy of . their star striker, Steven Damaseb, the player I have nicknamed Madi­gage because of his frightening ap­petite for goals.

Nomtsoub will also witness their two giants, Benfica and Chief San­tos, playing host to Cuca Tops and Life Fighters on Saturday and the two neighbouring teams will swop opponents at the same venue on Sunday.
