Heavy summer rains bring good news WIDESPREAD summer rains appear to have broken the drought in almost all regions of Namibia and there is more rain on the way, the Windhoek Weather Bureau said yesterday.

Head of the Climate Branch, John Olszewski, described the summer rains which started early this year as "generally better than expected" though there were one or two areas that "might still be in trouble".

Windhoek had already had 200 per cent of its December an­nual average of 42mm just" over halfway through the month. "We have recorded 91mm and there is no sign of it stopping," Olszewski said.

Betwen40to 50mm was recorded during a storm on Tuesday afternoon which left a number of houses and shops flooded, a roof blown off one house and numerous vehicles stuck.

Olszewkski said September rains were "useful" with out of the ordinary falls in places in the north.

October saw '''very good" rains in the north with scattered falls in the centre, east and south-east of the country.

November was an "average" rainfall month with rain spread­ing further south than expected.

December had been "patchy but generally good" though there were still a few very dry places in the north-east and east.

"And we have not yet reached the peak of our rainy season from January to March," Olszewski said.

He pointed out that averages, in millimetres, were misleading statistics in a country like Namibia which fell into the semi-arid and semi-desert zones.

Total re-write 'Exam seam' scandal to cost

TOMMINNEY

GHANAIAN Chris Asher yesterday blamed The Na­mibian for "spearheading" efforts to sabotage his business after his office Wa<l

stripped of office equip­ment. Asher's surprising claim came as a leading computer and office equipment supplier moved in to reclaim their goods.

at least R250 000 THE RESULTS of the OctoberlNovember Grade 12 part-time examinations, affecting some 11300 students, have been declared null and void following an exhaus­tive investigation into the recently exposed 'exam scam'.

Though students will be able to register for the March re-sit free of charge, the re-write will cost the Education Ministry well over quarter of a million rand.

Minister N ahas Angula yes­terday said costs could be in the region ofR300000, though other observers describe the estimate as "extremely con­servative". In all events, the Ministry describes the exam scam as having caused "mas­sive disruption to the educa­tion system in Namibia".

Candidates .wishing to reg-

ister for the re-sit must do so before January 20, but, Angula stressed, those proved by the investigation to have cheated would be barred from the ex­amination until next November. "About 500 students were foond to have had prior access to exam papers and they will not be allowed to re-sit in March," said the Minister.

He regretted the inconven­ience caused to many innocent candidates, but hoped they' would ultimately benefit from having certificates which re­liably relected their abilities

and levels of competence. Angula added that investi­

gations had revealed several instances of grade 10 candi­dates having already registered for grade 12 examinations. ''They must have been confi­dent of getting hold of stolen papers for the grade 12 exams. It suggests the scam must be very well enIMlched and widely known." A total of 11318 stu­dents in over 70 centres 1brwgb.­out the country were affected by the scam, said the Ministry, adding that every effort would be made to provide tight secu­rity for the March and subse­quent exams.

"Namibia's weather is being created by a high pressure system that has been lodged over the eastern half of Africa steering warm and moist air from the Congo southwards," he said.

'Ibis air cools as it progresses south and gets uplifted by convective currents causing it to rise into the colder layers of the atmosphere resulting in rain.

Olzsewski pointed out that some people were attributing the rain to the El Nino weather phenomenon caused by abnormali­ties in the pressure system over the vast areas of the Pacific Ocean.

''The Pacific seems to be the boiler room of the world's weather, if the pressure distribution is not quite normal places expecting rain don't get any and those not expecting it do," he said, adding the reasons for the rains would not be known until the rainfall season had ended. - Sapa

Asher said in a press release later yesterday that he was taking legal steps against reputed Namibian company Schoemans after they arrived at his prem­ises in Swapo Headquarters and carted out about R60 000 worth of desks, filing cabinets, chairs, a fax machine and possibly computers. Asher, who edits a little-known newspaper, 'Af­rica News'. has already threat­ened The Namibian with legal action following an article about him.

THE EDUCATION Min­istry will appoint someone to "dig deep into the de­partment of examinations" to get to the bottom of a scam which will cost the Ministry over a quarter of a million rands and has done untold damage to its credibility. .

Interviewed yesterday, Edu­cation Minister Nahas Angula said there were "prime sus­pects in the examination de­partment" and that they would be "dealt with severely", both by the Ministry and the Police.

Though some leakages arose as a result of invigilators and

other supposedly responsible people giving question papers to candidates in their respec­tive areas, the greatest leaks came from the Directorate of Examinations in Windhoek. said Angula.

"We think a small number of officials - probably clerks -in the directorate were respon­sible for the leaks which led to the sale and distribution of question papers and memo­randa," he said.

The findings of a Ministe­rial Enquiry, made public yes­terday, revealed leaks in over half the examination centres, eltpecially in the central and northern regions of Namibia.

It said cheating was most preva­lent in Talismanis, Khomasdal Training College, Windhoek Main Centre, Okahandja, Swakopmund, Oshakati, Usakos, Katutura, Rehoboth, Arninus, Mariental, Okakarara, Otjinene, Jipumbu, Auas, Ohm<> and Ongwediva.

In a statement on the report, the Ministry said problems associated with the 1991 ex­amination could be categorised in order of severity and extent as follows: "the theft and leak­age of examiniation question papers, the theft and leakage

of examination memoranda, incompetent invigilation and malpractice by invigilators, and errors in the administration and

. distribution of examination question papers".

It described leaks of exam question papers and memoranda as widespread. "Very large numbers of candiates at ex­amination centres throughout the country were found to have used leaked materials in an­swering questions in · one or more exam," said the Minis­try.

A minimum of 16 different question papers and memoranda were leaked, with the greatest number occuring in Afrikaans

Outside the offices Sam nonze, who later de­scribed himself as a Ghanaian working 'on administration, threat­ened a physical attack and to de­stroy the camera. Later, the situ­ation calmed down as Asher granted the reporter an interview in the presence of Bonze, news editor lohnson Weker who said he was Nigerian and a woman who said she was Namibian but refused to give her name or position. Asher refused to be photographed and refused to answer several ques­tions, saying the matter was sub­judice as he has written several threatening letters to The Nanlib­ian via lawyers. Asher said he has faced a "farrago of caluminous and preposterous falsehoods and opprobrium" since coming to Namibia. The senior staff laughed when asked about claims they had not been paid and had not received job descriptions. Asher said the largely women team were mainly "trainee journalists" with matric and who receive a "mo­bility allowance" for their first six months on probation while he trains them in the "nuances of jour­nalism". Administrative staff were only taken on at the end ofN ovem­ber and would notexpeet to be paid until the end of this month. It appears he was invited to Na­mibia on the recommendation of Namibian High Commissioner to London, Veiccoh Nghitwete, to write a series of promotional ar­ticles about Namibia. A visa was issued to him until November 4

through the consular division with­out the knowledge of the Ministry of Home Affairs. AForeign Affairs spokesperson wou Id last night give "no comment" on these and on questions as to what screening procedures had been applied in Asher's case when journalists with a long track record of solidarity with Namibia have found difficul­ties. The ministry apparently paid for his plane ticket and for the first two weeks of his stay before termi­nating his visit, and virtually wash­ing their hands of him when he virtually declared war on the Swapo Government when he was interviewed by Die Republikein. Foreign Affairs later told Home Affairs that Asher was no longer their guest and a notice giving him seven days to leave was issued. Asher protested and now has a tem­porary residence permit valid until January 7, reportedly the day the immigration board sits again after its recess. Asher claims he has 37 years ' unbroken experience and has been president of the Ghanaian guild of editors. In the whole of Africa "anyone who doesn't know of my journalistic credibility must be deaf, dumb, blind or dead". Mrs Joey Schoeman said re-pos­session was a new experience for her store and would give "no com­ment" on the matter. Asher says his credit apment of R60 000 with their company is valid until De­cember 26 and they did not give him proper notice. He added that Schoemans had contacted his bank in Johannesburg for confidential information to which they were not entitled. He reiterated that there was an 'orchestrated campaign' against him by certain 'interest groups' spearheaded by a local newspaper.

Malpractice and negligence by invigilators and other admin­istrators were also found to be widespread. 1bis took the form of copying between candidates, the use of crib notes and text books, the prior preparation of answer scripts, single answer scripts being prepared by more than one person and the ques­tionable source of answer papers

of recently revealed conup­tionin the EducationMinistry, such as stolen cheques and the abuse of Government property, Angula said an independent investigation would be con­ducted by "someone outside the system".

''There is still a lot of work to do if we are to root out all the corruption in the Ministry. No reasonable person supports corruption. It puts us all on the spot and leads to an atmos­phere of suspicion," said the Minister.

The corruption was fairly deep-set, he admitted, andhad been going on fur years. ''People tend to get used to a way of doing things and lose sight of it being wrong. It will take a long time to change some of the attitudes which have de­veloped over !he COOl'llC of time."

THE BEST PEOPLE FOR THE JOB S33511A86

NBC

THE NBC yesterday at-. tempted to put its finan­cial position into perspec­tive following recent news­paper reports that · the corporation faces a major financial crisis.

In a statement the NBC said last year's cash shortfall was indeed worrying, however, inevitable.

According to the NBC, its predecessor, the SW ABC, was nothing more than an arm of the South African regime, and as a result relied almost totally on state subsidies to survive.

"Because of its importance in maintaining the status quo, requests for additional fund­ing were almost always met," the NBC said.

Today, the NBC was an au­tonomous parastatal and had

. to pay a price for its independ­ence.

With the Government look­ing to reduce its own spending, it was inevitable that state fund­ing of the NBC would be re­duced as subsidising the NBC was not a top priority for the

THE Windhoek Lions Club yesterday donated a 28 seater bus, valued at R113 500, to a primary school at the Grass Cattle farm, 25km south of Windhoek. Deputy Trade and Industry Minister Anton von Wieter­sheim described the donation as a "substantial gift to a school that has taken the initiative of providing children at the farm with education".

government. The NBC said that unfortu­

nately this had happened soooer than expected, and last year's state subsidy was RIO million less than budgeted for.

Then, during the 1990/91 fi­nancial year, the treasury turned down strong appeals for addi­tional funding.

In addition, not all of the RI million spent by the NBC covering the Independence festivities was paid by the cele­bration committee as prom­ised originally.

While the NBC' s income for the 1990/91 financial year remained static at around R47m, expenditure increased from R43,5m to R49,4m.

"It was assumed that addi­tional funding from the Gov­ernment would be forthcom­ing, but it was not," the NBC said.

The corporation further claimed that -like the Govern­ment - it also had to pay for costs incurred by the previous

on crisis' regime.

From as far back as 1986, money in the corporation's de­preciation fund - used to up­grade equipment - was taken out and used to pay for capital and other items.

Today this inherited cumu­lative shortfall stood at close to R8m, which meant that the NBC was left with no money to spend on replacing obsolete machinery in the years to come.

Added to this, there was an unforseeable slump in adver­tising revenue during 1990/91, which caused an estimated R900 000 unbudgeted shortfall in advertising income.

The statement said the NBC was, however, taking steps to boost revenue through sources other than state subsidy while the corporation was also on an economy drive.

The number of staff mem­bers had been reduced, sala­ries had been frozen, local productions had been put on hold, maintenance had been kept to a minimum and staff fringe benefits had been scaled down.

Car theft crackdown

STAFF REPORTER

POLICE have had a suc­cessful year against car thieves and recommend the Government allows more random roadblocks as these have prove good for spotting stolen cars and a deterrrent to would-be thieves. According to fig­ures released by Nampol spokesperson Inspector Sean Geyser the number of reported thefts this year is less than last year.

But car-owners should not relax as a flood of recent re­ports shows that car thieves are very active in Windhoek, snatching cars within minutes. In one recent case a fuur-wheel­drive double cab pick-up was stolen while a prospective buyer was test-driving it. Alarms, hook-on locks and other de­vices can be beaten by many of the more professional thieves working here.

Nampol moved to tackle the organised car theft syndicates by setting up a Motor Vehicle Branch in October 1990. 1bis has recovered nearly six out of ten vehicles stolen according to its end-November report. Many of these were either found abandoned and in terrible condition after being spray­painted by amateurs and driven into the ground.

According to the unit's fig­ures, some 647 vehicles had been stolen between January 1 and November 18 this year, with a total value of R14,7 million. Nampol's general figures, which are calculated in a different way, say 825 were stolen in 1990 and 360 in

1989 while the theft unit puts the 1990 figure of vehicles reported stolen at 1 400 ..

The figures are countrywide, but the unit says nine out of ten thefts were in Windhoek. They add that 60 per cent of the vehicles turn up in the North, 30 per cent are quickly ex­ported to countries such as Angola, Botswana and Zam­bia (although Zaire is also said to be a popular destination for stolen Namibian vehicles).

Most thefts are done by Na­mibians who then sell the vehicles to illegal dealers in the North for distribution or export. Namibia receives ex­tensive help from neighbour­ing police forces including South Africa and Botswana and there are moves to create a South African anti-crime net­work as the vehicles are easily moved from one country to another mostly across illegal border crossings and other points.

Police road blocks and in­formants are the main ways of stopping them although vig­ilant onlookers have even proved effective. According to one unconfirmed recent story a car was nearly hit by a car recklessly leaving a shopping centre carpark in Windhoek. Suspicions aroused, the driver followed it to Wanaheda in Katutura where he saw it being parked. Returning to the shop­ping centre he found police and the owner bewailing the theft and was able to lead them there as the thieves prepared it for respray.

.PF .looks back in anger CORRUPITON, crime and unconstitutional behaviour were among the charges laid against the Government yesterday by National Patriotic Front Presi­dent Moses Katjiuongua. He also did not spare opposition parties in a scathing review of 1991, saymg they had mainly proved "weak, inactive and have no alternative policies" .

TOMMINNEY He called for the Govern­

ment at least to promise that the regional elections, which the constitutional committee originally understood would be held by Match 21, 1992, would be held during next year. First the delimitation commission report needed to be gazetted, followed by ,an act of Parlia­ment and an electoral law.

On the positive side, Katjiuongua praised Swapo for success in avoiding any civil or tribal wars, for the land conference, for its openness to opposition parties, for co-op­eration between parties when it comes to welcoming foreign parliamentary delegations and trips abroad and because all parties managed to commemo­rate December 10 together.

to increase staff ana resources in the police and for full politi­cal support to the police with­out interfering in their status as a non-political professional body with high entry qualifi­cations, more resources and better pay.

Also needed are more jobs and other economic help which would separate those who arC criminals out of desperation from the "hard-core".

Katjiuongua also slammed the Government for cotruption which, he said, "is now worse than during colonial times including the days of the Tran­sitimal GoveIlllllalt of National Unity, and one good day we will all qualify, via the Swapo Government, as a nation of thieves".

Dev Brigade demonstrates

overDTA 'provocation' MORE than 300 placard~ carrying members of the Development Brigade sta­tioned at the Ondangwa Airport yesterday marched to the office of the Ondangwa Regional Commissioner yesterday.

They presented Comissioner Brian Simataa with a petition containing five points of griev­ances to be faxed to the Minis­try of Lands, Resettlement and Rehabilitation in Windhoek.

The headline, 'We are tired of Df A provocations ', was read to Simataa and his staff by a representative of the demon­strators, Ndapukile Ismael Katondoka, and requests the Government, particularly the Ministry, to answer their demands.

They want to know whether the policy of national recon­ciliation is a one-way decision because they have been under constant attacks, allegedly 'beaten up, poisoned and killed' by Df A members in the nearby location.

, 'Whatever the answers would be, we are demanding that the DT A office and the location near the airport must be removed far away," the petition reads.

The demonstrators also want to know ifthere is a provision in the Namibian constitution authorising members of the police to ' fire at "one side" when two parties fight each other.

, 'We demand that the police officer who ordered the police to fire at us, on Sunday, must be removed from our national police force."

The last point in the petition is a request to remove and send back to Angola those Ango­lans who are DT A members and "who are the most pro­vocative ones". - Nampa

THE TB FIGHT ••• CDM's Manager of Public Affairs Fanuel Tjingaete with health educators at the Katutura TB Clinic. Isobella Hadebe holds the RIO 000 cheque which Tjingaete passed on.

TB and alcohol ·a DEADLY cocktail TUBERCULOSIS is on the increase in Katuturaaccord­ing to health workers at the TB clinic who say another 28 victims were added this month to their daily list of89 outpa­tients.

Accepting a RIO 000 dona­tion to the clinic from CDM's Fanuel Tjingaete yesterday, health educator Agatba Muruko said better education and fol­low-up work was vital to guard against a disease which claims the lives of countless children and adults in Namibia every year.

At the moment 22 children are receiving outpatient care at Katutura's TB Clinic, where treatment includes one square meal and up to 12 tablets a day.

Malnutrition among both children and adults is one of the main contributory factors in the development of TB; another is chronic abuse of alcohol.

"We also plan to use the

KATE BURLING

money to improve health edu­cation, but also to establish craft projects at the clinic - just to find a way of keeping people occupied and out of the shebeens."

Muruko said unemployment was a huge problem among TB sufferers. " They have nothing to do all day and often end up turning to drink, but that just leads to a slow rate of recovery and defaulting on treatment. "

She said TB was as much a social problem as a medical one, which needed careful fol­low-up work and constant personal care. Unless a course of treatment was followed to the end, th~ patient would not start to improve. she said.

, 'Our biggest difficulty here is that we don't have transport to trace defaulting patients. We don't want to create a depend­ency but we do want to be able

to do our work effectively," said Muruko.

Explaining his company's decision to make the donation, Tjingaete said CDM felt the clinic was doing a good job in a very important field. "We have made donations to boost TB work in the past and have an ongoing relationship with the clinic," he said, adding that CDM set aside some one million rands every year for projects - particularly of an educational nature - aimed directly at the community.

• An information leaflet telling you all about TB has been put together by the TB hospital in Wmdhoek, the clin­ics in Katutura and Oshakati, the Namibia TB Association and the Namibia Red Cross. It is called 'Why Me' and is written in easy-to-understand English with lots of illustrations to help you understand more about the dangerous disease.

pension moneys. He added that senior civil servants cannot control this or connive with the thieves.

He charged that the Govern­ment is resettling large num­bers of people without refer­ence to local communities and training outsiders without train­ing locals and said he was suspicious of the reasons. It had over-ruled the Constitution over Hotel Onduri, with mob demonstrations against Judge Bryan O'Lino and in the "in­trusion into ~ rule of law by the President during the Otjiwar­ongo incident". He said Na­mibia would become a banana republic.

"The Swapo Government cannot keep on doing these things and still expect others to believe them to be demo- ' crats and not slow-learning political babies from Lubango ... If lawyers, politicians and journalists become quiet (on these issues) then we are in trouble" .

Without the second cham­ber the legislature would not be complete and the balance of power could be different if support proved different there. Currently the ruling party had enough power in the one cham­ber to get its own way on most things. .

The NPF leader also slammed the opposition parties who had not com~ up with proper de­bates or stretched the Govern­ment by proposing sensible alternatives to their policies. He cited the debate over the Prime Minister's white paper and over the budget as two examples where the official . opposition had failed the Government by not offering serious criticism.

Engineers want IN THE Engineering Council of Namibia (ECN)yesterday urged the government to give greater recognition to the body and the profession in the country.

ECN president Kai Lund said in his annual report Namibia had a hard core of professional engineers capable of planning and managing large projects, according to a press statement issued on Tuesday.

"On occasions overseas expertise was brought in to the detriment of equally able and well qualified engineers in Na­mibia," Lund said.

The Engineering Council, as a statutory body, should act in the national interest as an advisor to the government on the engineering aspects of new projects proposed by private enterprise.

"The Council can aiso advise government on the prepara­tionand review of applications for aid from donor bodies" ,he said. He further emphasised the Council was more than ready to assist government in fulfilling its duties as laid down by the engineering professions Act.

"In the same way the health of people depends on the presence in the country of of well qualit1ed doctors, the physical development of Namibia depends critically upon an adequate supply of experience and well-qualified engineers," Lundadded.

Namibia has 177 experienced registered professional engi­neers with degree standard qualit1cations. There are a fur ­ther 105 people registered in the two classes of experienced engineers with qualit1cations below a university degree. Sixty­nine people are working as engineers in training, while there are 66 new registrations, an increase of about 23 per cent.

ore prices sent the shares of Australia's two largest mining companies into a tailspin. The All Ordinaries index closed 21.3 points down at 1,578.5.

suit to the dignity of the King. Dr Zac de Beer, chairman of Codesa's steering committee, said Buthelezi's with­drawal from the gathering would not greatly harm the convention as a real national movement.

Buthelezi withdrew because of an im­passe on separate delegations for the KwaZulu government and Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini.

''It is weD known that Inkatha has been seeking additional representation, and the fact that this was not awarded might have been expected to elicit negative reaction," said De Beer. - Sapa He said the impasse amounted to an in-

Hopes of accord in Mideast talks fade .

WASHINGTON: Arabs and Israelis began a final day of Middle East peace talks yes­terday but hopes of a break­through 'on procedure were fading and delegates expected to leave without agreement on where and when to meet next.

The chief Israeli, Jordanian and Palestinian negotiators met in a State Department corridor for the sixth day in an attempt to set the ground rules for Is­raeli-Palestinian talks on au­tonomy in the Israeli-occupied territories.

Disagreement over the status of the Palestinian delegates has prevented them sitting around a table since the talks began on December 10. Unrest in the West Bank and East Jerusalem has added to the acrimony.

In separate talks betweenIs­rael and Syria and Israel and Lebanon, also in their final day yesterday, the negotiators have at least sat in a confer­ence room but they have not come out with any results to announce.

The White House, impatient at the slow progress, said on · Tuesday it wanted to see the talks move on to substance.

"We've been wrangling over the meeting size and rooms . and tables and those kinds of

Djibouti massacre PARIS: French-based Djibouti exiles accused government troops of a massacre yesterday, saying at least 210 people were killed in the Red Sea state.

A spokesman said the dead included 200 men driven to an open fie Id outside the capital, Djibouti city, where they were lined up and shot.

France expressed "strong dis­approval" of the killings in Djibouti, where it has stationed a military force of more than 4 000. But a Foreign Ministry spokesman said he had no infor­mation other than that reported by news agencies. For the last six weeks, Afar guerrillas have been battling government forces in the north of the country. But no fighting has been reported in Djibouti city, stronghold of the Somali-speaking Issa commu­nity.- Reuters

things and we'd like to urge them to move on to the sub­stantive issues," said White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater.

The two sides are also at odds over where to meet next. The Israelis want to resume the peace talks in or near the Middle East, while the Arabs prefer Washington.

Unless the talks produce a breakthrough. US mediation will again be needed to keep alive the Middle East peace process launched in Madrid.

1he Arabs have turned down Israeli invitations to meet or talk outside the framework of the formal meetings.

Baker invested months of tough diplomacy in setting up the Madrid peace conference and Israel's Arab neighbours began to see him as sympa­thetic to their position in the conflict. But at the Washing­ton talks, the United States has exasper~ted the Arabs by re­fusing to intervene when the talks hit procedural snags or, in the case of Syria, when Is~ . rael rejects the principle of "land-for-peace".

As at earlier stages in the process, most of the proce­dural disputes are substantial issues in disguise.

In the Israeli-Jordanian-Pal­estinian talks, for example, Israel is reluctant to recognise the Palestinian delegates as fully independent of their Jordanian partners. .

The latest Israeli proposal is a meeting with the Jordanian­Palestinian delegation, followed by separate meetings with each half, and then-another plenary with both.

The Jordanians and Pales­tinians want a formal meeting of the three delegationleaders, followed by separate meetings with each half, one on Pales­tinian self-rule and the other on future relations between Israel and Jordan.

The Arabs object to the final meeting between Israel and the joint delegation because it gives the impression that the Jorda­nians have a veto over what the Palestinians decide.

"To be enduring, an agree­ment has to be seen to be nego­tiated by the Palestinians. 1hey want to negotiate their own future," Jordanian spokesman Marwan Muasher said.

The next appointment oh the Middle East peace agenda is a

multilateral conference on regional issues, originally set for Moscow on January 28 and 29. - Reuters

Kenya opposition prepares for polls

NAIROBI: Kenya's fledgling opposition set up a steer­ing committee yesterday to prepare for the first multi­party elections in 22 years.

The head of the Forum for the Restoration of Democracy (Ford), former vice-president Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, told a . news conference the newly-formed party would need six lJlonths to prepare for the elections, expected sometime next year.

Odinga named a 42-member Ford steering committee includ­ing two former cabinet ministers detained last year after they led campaigns for political pluralism.

President Daniel arap Moi told a rally that Kenyans should vote for thr ruling Kenya African National Union. "Your security lies in Kanu. Many parties will not improve the lives of the ordinary Kenyan," Moi said.

The rally was held in the poor Nairobi district of Kamukunji, where violent demonstrations in support of multi-party democ­racy took place in July 1990 and November this year.

Odinga said the Ford steering committee would canvass for members and hold a national congress by February to elect leaders and discuss the party's consititution and manifesto.

Odinga also called for an independent electoral commission to supervise the elections. - Reuters

MOSCOW: A growing schism between Russian President Boris Yeltsin' s top lieutenants burst into the open yesterday, underlining the uncertain fu­ture as the Soviet Union en­tered the last two weeks of its existence. Russian Vice-Presi­dent Alexander Rutskoi laid into Yeltsin's government in an interview published yester­day, saying it had brought IlIlBn(hy and chaos to the giant republic.

He opposed its ambitious re­form programme, which in­cludes freeing prices on Janu­ary 2, and singled out for criti­cism top Yeltsin aides Gen­nady Bwbulis and Yegor Gaidar by name.

Moz talks

ROME: The ninth round of Mozambique peace talks in Rome, aimed at ending the southern African country's 16-year civil war, began yester­day, mediators said.

Delegates from the govern­ment and right-wing Renamo rebels spent the moming dis­cussing agreements reached last month on the creation of po­litical parties, a short state­ment said.

JOHANNESBURG: The Weekly Mail newspaper will publish new evidence of al­leged covert South African Defence Force military intelli­gence involvement in civil matters, editor Anton Harber announced yesterday. Harber said the newspaper would also show that some Inkatha Freedom Party mem­bers who underwent secret SADF military intelligence trnining had been involved in violence.

Maxwell probe

LONDON: British fraud in­vestigators said yesterday they had opened a formal inquiry into an alleged scheme by the late Robert Maxwell to rig the share value of his crumbling media empire.

Separately, a London foren­sic expert examined tissue from the tycoon's corpse in a new bid to end the mystery of his death on November 5 when he went overboard from his yacht - a prelude to the collapse under five billion dollars of debt of his global publishing business. Bankers also met yesterday to study an audit report on poten­tiallosses that may be at least 2.5 billion dollars.

Stone rapists

KARAcm: Pakistani opposi­tion leader Benazir Bhutto has demanded the men who gang­raped her friend Fadtana Hayat be stoned to death - a tradi­tional Islamic punishment. Both the alleged attack on a woman from Pakistan's elite and her family' s decision to make their charges public are unprecedented in a tradtional, class-bound society where rape is a humiliation normally in­flicted only on poor women.

Erf 7034 en die bewapeningsveldtog van besighede

Huuntlotors verseker van staanplek DIE bestaande buurmotorstaanplek in_ Talstraat sal nie beinvloed word deur planne van die munisipaliteit om 'n gedeelte van die area te bersoneer met die doel om te verkoop aan 'n besigbeid Die, se Willie Kauaria, Skakelbeampte van die Wmdhoek Munisipaliteit, maar plaaslike besigbede berei voor vir ' n oorlog soos uit 'n gesprek met die Olthaver en List-groep geblyk bet.

Kauaria het bevestig dat daar wel besware ontvang is van lede van die publiek wat die hersonering van Erf 7034 teen­staan. Oor die aard enhoeveel­heid daarvan wou hy horn op die oomblik nie u itlaat nie.

Al die besware moet eers einde volgende maand op die maandvergadering van die Stadsraad bespreek word en dit is nie toelaatbaar om dit VOOl'af te besp~ek cle.

Gister het dit egter uit 'n ' gesprek met Wemer List van

die Olthaver en List-groep, wat ook die eienaars van die Wemhil-ontwikkeling aan die suidekant van die Billow-brug langs die erf is, geblyk dat hulle beslis die hersonering van Erf 7034 teenstaan.

List voer aan hulle is voor hul nog met die Wemhil-

ontwikIreling begin bet sk:rifte.. lik deur die munisipaliteit laat verstaan Erf 7034 sal vir 'n kantoorblok gebruik word. Dit is ook een van die redes waarom hulle voortgegaan het met die ontwikkeling van Wemhil.

Indien 'n ander besigheid van dieselfde tipe nou in die area moet kom maak hulle gebruik van die infrastruktuur wat deur Olthaver en List ge_s­kep is sonder om daarvoor te betaal.

Olthaver enlist isnou besig om 'n netjiese huurmotor­staanplek langs hul kompleks te skep. Besighede wat nou eers in die area kom km gev­olglik ook voordeel hieruit trek en dit word as onregverdig beskou.

Verder bestaan daar 'n groot vrees vir 'n prysoorlog met

maatskappye wat oor biljoene rande beskik. Indien hierdie maatskappye met al hul be­lange in ander lande en methul onbeperkte reserwes vir 'n redelike tyd onder kosprys hul goedere km verkoop sal pla­aslike besighede uit die mark gedwing word. Die verbruiker sal voordeel uit hierdie kom­petisie trek vir solank die oor­log hou maar sodra plaaslike besighede vemietig is, sal pryse weer na normaal terugkeer.

So 'nstand van sake word as teen die belange van die nor­male ontwikkeling van Wind­hoek beskou.

Kauaria het ook bevestig 'n hele aantal aansoeke is vir die gedeelte van die erf ontvang maar was nie in 'n posisie om enige name bekend te maak nie. Sommige maatskappye doen deur hul konsultante of frontorganisasies aansoek en dit is nie altyd duidelik wat die werkllke naam van die aan­soeker is nie.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse kru­ideniersreus Pick 'n Pay het vroeer vanjaar bevestig hulle

Neus in die baeke vir deeltydse matrieks

Eksarnens word oorgeskryf ALLE deeltydse studente

wat vanjaar die matriekeksa­men of '0 gedeelte daarvan onder die plaasUke eksameo­raad afgel~ het sal, 10 vol­gende Maart weer vir die eksamen moet sit.

Die aankondiging is gister deur die Minister van Onderwys, Nahas Angula, gemaak mi die kommissie van ondersoek na eksamenbedrog bevind het, studente het op wye skaal bed­rieg.

Studente sal nie vir die nuwe eksamens inskrywingsgelde hoef te betaal nie en verdere be­sonderhede oor die Maart

1992 eksamens sal deur die Direktoraat van Eksamens bek­end gemaak word.Studente wat vanjaar eksamen geskryf het en vir die Maart-eksamen wil regis­treer moet voor 20 Januarie reg­istreer. Diegene wat skuldig aan bedrog vir die afgelope eksamen bevind is, sal egter nie vir die Maart-eksamen toegelaat word nie maar mag eers vir die No­vember-eksamen registreer.

Eksamenbedrog het by meer as die helfte van eksamensen­trums in die land plaasgevind, veral in die sentrale en noorde­like streke. Sentrums waar die meeste bedrog plaasgevind het is identulSeer as Talismanis, Khomasdal Opleidingskollege, Windhoek Hoofsentrum, Oka­handja, Swakopmund, Oshakati, Usakos, Katutura, Rehoboth, Aminius, Mariental, Okakarara, Otjinene, lipunbu, Auas, 01uno en Ongwediva.

Die ministerie se die besluit om eksamens oor te laat skryf is in lyn met sy beleid om bedrog en wanpraktyke uit te skakel en te verseker dieselfde waarde sal aan alle sertifikate geheg word.

Die ongerymdhede wat by die laaste eksamen ondervind is, sluit in in volgorde van em­stigheid en omvang: die steel en verspreiding van vraestelle, die steel en verspreiding van memo­randa, ondoeltreffende toesig­houding en wanpr_aktyke deur eksamentoesighouers en foute in die hantering en verspreiding van vraestelle.

Sommige van die lekkasies het ontStaan by verantwoorde­like persone en eksamentoesig­houers wat vraestelle aan studente beskikbaar gestel het maar die grootste sondebokke, se die ministerie, was 'n paar amptenare in die Direktoraat van Eksamens in Windhoek. Die paar amptenare word as ver­antwoordelik beskou vir die aanvanklike beskikbaarstelling van vraestelle en memoranda ' wat gelei het tot die verdere ver­spreiding daarvan.

Wanpraktyke van toesig­houers het gelei tot afkykery tussen studente, die gebruik van handboeke en steelnotas, studente wat vooraf die eksamen afgehandel en later die antwoordblaaie in hul eksamen­boeke gesit het en antwoord­boeke wat na die eksamen eers ingehandig is.

Die meeste van die sake word -deur die ministerie in samewerk­ing met die polisie ondersoek en daar sal verseker word die toe­sighouding vir die Maart-eksa­men sal baie streng wees.

stel ook in die betrokke gedeelte van die erf belang vir die oprigting van 'nhipermark. 'n Toekenning aanhierdie maat­skappy km verreikende gev­olge vir ' n soortgelyke maat­skappy in dieselfde omgewing inhou weens die kompetisie wat dit tot gevolg kaD. he.

Oor die huurmotorassosia­sie wat bekommerd was hulle sallml bestaande staanplek ver-

loor, se Kauaria, die saak is a1reeds op 'n vroeere vergad­ering met die bestuurskomitee geskik.

Diegedeelte wat nou verkoop km word is die gedeelte tussen die nuwe Billow-straatbrug en die ingang tot die ou huurmo­torstaanplek.

Die bestuurder van die lrour­motorassosiasie, Joel Waters, kon gister nie vir kommentaar

opgespoor word nie. Die skakelbeampte van die

mumsipaliteit se daar is nog geen ooreenkoms bereik oor die opgradering van die bestaande huurmotorstaanplek nie en het bygevoeg dit is die verantwoordelikheid van beide die munisipaliteit en die huur­motorassosiasie om die ger­iewe op te knap en in stand te hou. ,

Erf7034. Tot redelik onlangs slegs 'n stukkie aarde maar nou 'n stukkie wat die bloed al warmer laat raak. Di~ erfwas en is nog steeds gesoneer vir 'n kantoorblok. Sekere besigbede bet onlangs aansoek gedoen dat die en verander moet word na 'n besigbeidserf. Dit skep groot ontevredenheid binne die Olthaver en List-kamp wat onlangs baie van die infrastruktuur in die area aangebring bet en ook binne die geledere van ander besigbede in die kruideniersmark.

Die son skyn altyd weer. Die eerste son na die stortreen wat Dinsdag op die stad neergesak en groot skade aangerig bet skyn tossen die borne deur voor die kantore van die Namibian. Foto: Tom Minney.

Carbalal to defend in February

INTERNATIONAL Boxing Federation (IBP) junior flyweight champion Michael Carbajal will defend his title on February 7, his manager said.

Caxbajal 's opponent likely will be Jorge Ramon of Mexico, an unranked fighter whose record was available.

"I figure Ramon will be the guy. He was a strong possibility for our last fight ," Danny Carbajal, manager and brother of the unde­feated Phoenix boxer, said.

The 12-round bout will take place in Atlantic City, NJ, on the undercard of a heavyweight bout between Ray Mercer and former champion Larry Holmes, Danny Carbajal said.

Since his last defence, two Carbajal title fights have been cancelled because of a hand injury and then because of a cut on the left eyelid sustained October 18 in a non-title fight against Jesus Chong of Arizona.

Michael Thomas Join Liverpool ARSENAL midfielder Michael Thomas trained with Liverpool on Friday before finaliSing _ a 2.70-million dollars transfer which signals the depature of one of the club's logest-serving play~rs.

Thomas, 24, has agreed a three-year contract which was expected to allow unsettled England mi~fielder Steve McMahon to sign for First Divisionrivals Manchester City at the weekend.

Souness is hoping his team's success in Eu­rope so far this season will filter through to their league form which has been distinctly patchy.

Thomas, who ironically scored the the last­minute goal which gave Arsenal the Frrst Divi­sion title at Liverpool's expense in May 1989, was met at Manchester airport by manager

, Graeme Souness on Friday. "I really believe that with Liverpool I can

make enough of an impact to force my way back into the England set-up," said Thomas, who last started a first-team game in October.

Wallabies Blacks to tour SA In October

AN Australian rugby tour of South Africa has been tentatively scheduled for next October, a spokesperson for the AustralianRugby Football Union (ARFU) said.

Saturday' s announcement of the merging of black and white rugby bodies in South Africa gave the proposed tour an added boost, the spokesperson, Greg Cambell, said.

The South African Rugby Union (SARU) and South African Rugby Board (SARB) have fonned a new united body, the South African Rugby Football Union (SARFU), which will be for­mally launched on March 20, 1992.

But a tour of South Africa by the World Cup­winning Wallabies depends on their being al­lowed to delay scheduled matches inIreland and Wales.

The Wallabies are hoping for a four-match, one-test tour of South Africa. Australia last toured South Africa in 1969. -

''The sponsorship agreement is for three years, and we have an option to renew the deal for a further four years. We' are delighted to be involved with the South Africari national side," Casaletti said.

In the contract, signed by both parties, Safa will grant the sole and exclusive right to manufacture, distribute and sell all merchandise bearing the Safa logo.

Safa will receive all train­ing, playing and travelling gear as well as boots and footwear for the national team. In addi-

tion they will be paid an annual royalty equal to the greater of the annual net turnover of all sales by Kappa Football Mer­chandise apparel bearing the Safalogo, orR100000, which ever is the greater. .

Casaletti also announced a munber of lucrative incentives,

His company will pay R500 000 if the national team reaches the qualifying rounds of the World Cup, plus additional amounts based on results achieved in the qualifying rounds.

They will pay R100 000 to the team on winning any inter­national competitionmd R50 000 on reaching the final of any international competition.

Apart from the huge sums of ' money on offer, the new Safa' members have agreed to send the South Africannaticnal coach overseas to a destination to be approved by Safa, in order to keep up with latest interna­tional football developments.

A delighted Safa Secretary General, Solomoo Morewa said:

"We received a number of applications from sportwear companies hoping to sponsor the national side. Kappa was by far the most attractive and we look forward to a long and happy relationship."

* ·Meanwhile it was also announ;ed last week that Kappa also renewed their sponsorship with South African cup Spe­cialists and newly-crowned N:SL Castle League champions lwisa Kaizer Chiefs.

The new deal includes a trip to Italy for two Kaizer cliiefs players and one league offi­cial.

Madida and Freeze will train with AC Milan aild Iuventus, the two clubs that are being sponsored by Kappa in Italy for a ,period of three weeks with Tshakoane undergoing a marketing course.

A heavy fight on the cards NEW YORK: Larry Holmes vs George Foreman would be one of the heaviest fights ever. It also would be one of the oldest in combined ages of the participants. A match between the 42-year-old Holmes and Foreman, who will be 43 on Jan. 17,couldhappenifHolmes beats Ray Mercer on February 7 in the Convention Center at Atlantic City, NJ.

'We ' re talking to GeOIge Foreman about fighting the winner in May or June ," pro­moter Bob Arum said Thesday at a news conference to for­mally announce the HQlmes­Mercer match.

"I'll fight George, I'll fight anybody," said Holmes, a heavyweight champion from 1978 to 1985, who looked pmty trim in a business suit. He said he weighed 104 to 108 kg.

Foreman, a champion in 1973-74, weighed 116 kg for his third-round victory over Jimmy Eills on December 7. , It will be, the sixth fight for Holmes, who ended a three­year retirement last April 7.

New gold tournament to make debut

THE quality of the field - most of the best play­ers in the world -lends a certai.!l credibility to the title of a new non-: aligned golf tournameilt that . makes its debut today. It is called the World Championship, and of- ' fers the biggest purse in pro golf, 2,S-miDiOll with S25 000 dollars to. the winner. It has lured a field that includes such stars as US Open winner Payne Stewart, Masters cham­pion Ian Woosnam of Wales, PGA titleholder John Daly, British Open champion Ian Baker-Finch of Australia and Spaniard Seve Bal­lesteros . .

But Holmes said a fight against Foreman is not the goal of his comeback. The goal is becoming champion again. '

As for Holmes fighting the unbeaten Mercer in his sixth comeback bout, Hank Johnson, Mercer's trainer, said at a news conference, "It ' s a little too soon. He didn't take the route of Geroge , Foreman. George Foreman had a lot of fights before he fought a top fighter."

Foreman,-who ended a-le­year retirement in 1987, fought only one ranked boxer (Adilson Rodrigues) in 24 bouts before challenging champion Evan­der Holyfield and losing a 12-round unanimous decision last April 19.

"People wanted me to take the slow route George Fore­man took," Holmes said. "I didn't want to.

"If I can't beat Ray Mercer with the five fights I've had, I might as well quit and not waste everybody's time."

"I used to watch Larry fight." Mercer said. "I dreamed that someday I could do what he

was doing _ be a great fighter. I ko thatas long as this fight lasts it will be a tough fight."

"You know, you 've got to work harder for this young lim," Holmes said.

Mercer is 30, but is young in terms of professional experi­ence. A former sergeant who took up boxing in the ~y to get out of manoeuvers, Mercer won a gold medal as a heavy­weight in the 1988 Olympics and has won alllfYof-his fights, 13 by knockout, since tumiilg proin 1989.

Arum introduced Mercer as , the "current WBO heavyweight champion." The promoter also said it didn't matter if the World Boxing Organization title was at stake Feb. 7, but that he had gotten an injunction against the organization because "I didn't want Ray stripped be­fore the news conference."

The WBO has said it will withdraw championship rec­ognition from Mercer ifhe fights Holmes instead of Michael Moorer, its top-ranked con­tender. - Sapa-AP.

PARIS RALLY CARS EXPECTED IN KEETMANSHOOP ABOUT 600 cars which will participate in the Paris to Cape Town Rally are expected on 10 January next year before proceeding to Cape Town on 14 January.

'Ibis was disclosed by the town's mayor Hampie Pli-

chta, who added that members of the Cabinet are expected to witness the event.

He said that about 1 500 cars belonging to spectators from outside Keetmanshoop are also expected to be at the event, adding that between 70-80

aeroplanes from ·all over the world are also expected to land at the town's airport.

Plichta said that he foresee a serious accommodation prob­lem for the guests, spectators and participants of the rally. He, however, said that he has

approached TransNamib to provide passenger wagons for the accommodation of the people.

He said that the munici­pality will hold a meeting today to make arrangements for the event.

CAN GERROS AND STRIKER MAKE IT?

ELEVEN Arrows and TCL Chief Santos will be the centre of attraction when the two giants compete in the continent's two boggest and most prestigious cup competitions - the Cham­pions Cup and the Cup Win­ners' Cup - in the coming sea- . son.

One problem facing Namib­ian soccer is that ~rs struggle to score when playing in inter­nationals, witness the highly successful Africa Zone Six under-23 soccer championships staged in Windhoek earlier this year,

Both Arrows and Santos boast

two of the sharpest targetmen in the country and Munyanda 'Striker' Muaine and Gerva­tius ' Gerros' \Vitbeenons are two of the best finishers in the game.

Muaine emerged as his side's top scorer in the domestic league and cup outings. There is sim­ply no other player in the Pre­mier League capable of strik­ing a ball with the force of the Arrows' ·striker.

On the other hand in Gerros Witbeen, Chief Santos are blessed with one of the best strikers in the country.

There is no doubt about his

talent as anyone who saw the bow-legged youngster from the Nomtsoub township ofTsumeb . emerge as the top scorer in ~e 1988 under-14 tournament in Port Elizabeth South Africa, could vouch.

And everyone who . saw Gerros scoring Santos' equali­sing gea! against Blue Waters in the final of the NFA Cup will agree that the youngster is capable of making a goal from nothing.

"Pure Luck", many ex­claimed after Gerrosnetted his goal, the best ever seen in this country since the days of for-

mer sharpshooters like, Pius 'Pele' Eigowab, Pushi Kaputji and his prodecessor at Santos, Sacharias 'Selle' Augumeb.

While Muaine has already had a field day against Arse­nal, the Lesotho league cham­pions, whom they blasted 3-1 in the pre-Caf trial games tour­nament in Botswana almost a fortnight ago, Gerros will face a completely unknown oppo­nent in Centre Chiefs.

'Ibis match saw Muaine's first intemational hat-trick and his side's first win in a neigh­bouring country.

The question now is: "Will

CONRAD ANGULA

Muaine be capable of steering his rampant teammates through to the second round of the Champions Cup in which they are tipped to face either Kam­pala City Council- the current leaders of the Ugandan domes­tic league, or Sports Villa, who are trailing City Council by two points?

However Santos, who will be playing international oppo­nents for the first time, face a more difficult task as most of the players, except for Gerros Witbeen and Lucky Kakuva (because of their links with the national under-20 team last year), won't know what to expect.

It should be some consola­tion for Santos that they are pitted against a team from neighbouring Botswana who not regarded very highly in continental competitit'llS.

The Nomtsoub giants can also count themselves lucky that they are playing their first match away which will give them an opportunity to pre­pare for the return match at home, which could be the deciding factor for their prog- . ress in the competition.

The Namibian cup kings will, however, face an almost im­possible task in the second round if they beat Centre Chiefs; to elminate defending champions Power Dynamos of Zambia.

The Zambians are known for their electrifying football and

it will be a real eye-opener for local fans to see them play here.

Pepsi African Stars, who will be competing inthe CafCup as the league runners-up to Ar­rows, will also have a lot to prove against a yet unkown team from Zaire.

Zaire, one of Africa's most experienced and exposed sides, could also provide a big boost to Namibian football which has been barred from the rest of Africa for so long.

But the Zairean standard is reported to have dropped dras­tically in the past decade be­cause of an exodus of some. of the country's best players so Stars can take comfort from this and face their opponents with more confidence.

It will also be interesting to see how the team's top players like Pule Tjombe the season's Top Scorer; Herman Muhara­kua - the Most Improved Player, Tonii Meroro - the Most Disci­plined Player of the Season and the Best Defender Collin Usurua will match up against the Zaireans.

'" Meanwhile, Wilson Mber­irua Stars Pro, has also an­nounced that the team's prepa­rations for their campaign in .the Caf Cup will officially start on January 5, 1992.

"We wish every soccer-lover a Merry Christmas and a Pros­perous New Year," Mberirua concluded.
