MINISTRIES MULTIPLY as Government, shuffles, shakes and expands

AFTER nearly 11 months in office, the (Jovernment has -been reshuffled and ex­pandetJ . .

Two new ministries have been created by splitting existing ministries, and appointing five deputy Ministers. President Sam Nujoma announced the moves at State House yesterday.

Minister Gert Hanekom' s portfolio of Agriculture, Fish­eries, Water and Rural Devel, opment has been divided into the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural and Water Development, headed by Hanekom.

accusations. The DT A said the people concerned were arrested by inunigration officials while legally trying to acquire Na-mibian citizenship in terms of Article 4 of the Namibian Constitution.

They further claimed they knew of a number of cases where identity documents were arbitrarily confiscated from people who had lived in the country for several years and were eligible for citizenship.

New Minister Helmut An­gula is highly regarded for his efficiency and former col­leagues at the. Ministry of Mines and Energy said they will miss him. At independence Namibia inherited 11 education systems. "It is a misnomer to talk of a fragmented e<hlcation system,' , said NUjoma, explaining that Minister Nahas Angula would have to devote all his intellect and energy to building a new system.

At the new youth Ministry, new Minister Ithana is asked to tackle the problem ofunem­ployment among young people.

The DTA also said it ap-peared as though former An-golans and South Africans were the ones most likely to be subjected to arbitrary arrest and detention, even if they had been in the country for more than five years.

According to Kamati people were only arrested for being in the country illegally without valid documents, or because they had a criminal record.

He further did not know of any cases where a person had been detained for more than 48 hours without being brought before a court; nor was he aware of anyone who had been de-ported being refused access to a lawyer.

Reports in the press about the shooting incident were mainly based on eye witness reports and police were not keen on provid­ing further information.

A report in one English daily even suggested that

Hangula was killed by a shot from a policeR-S sub­machine gun.

According to the report, shooting erupted between the police and alleged gang members in Katutura.

Investigations were con­tinuing and at this stage it could not be said who shot and killed Hangula.

The police apparently had to run for cover as the gun battle between the fac­tions heated up.

The. officer added that the police only arrived on the scene to prevent im­minent violence.

The officer further said the fact that no murder docket had been opened did not mean that it would not happen in the course of investigations.

It is believed that more arrests could follow in the course of investigations.

Farewell to a friend

THOUSANDS of people at­tended the funeral of leading Namibian businessman, Eliakim Namundjebo, on Monday. '\

Our correspondent in the North said between 15 000 to 20000 moumers turned out to pay their last tribute to the popular businessman.

Namundjebo, who was killed in a tragic car accident last week, was buried from the Odibo Anglican cWrch and was buried with his late parents at Omafo. Anglican Bishop James Kauluma conducted the serv­ice.

YESTERDAY'S announce­ment of a Cabinet reshuffle drew fire from opposition par­ties,

In a statement last night, DT A acting president Mishake Muyongo said' 'it is with seri­rus concern that we have leamed of the move".

He said while the Prime Minister talked about cutting down Namibia's public serv­ice, " the President has come with a surprise announcement of the creation of yet two more Ministries in which he is in fact repudiating his Prime Minister".

"The Namibian taxpayers cannot afford the creation of Ministries overnight because there is simply no money to

pay for new Ministers . and deputies and their permanent secretaries, " Muyongo empha­sized,

"It is the poor taxpayers who must come up with the money to pay for the generous salaries and fat perks. ' ,

1m DT A leader said his party failed to see how the new Ministries would be able to render an efficient service to the public.

Muyongo added that what Namibians really wanted was not more Ministries, but funds to be redi,rected into social programmes such as housing, health, education and jobs for the thousands of unemployed "roaming the streets of our towns and villages .. :nlCY want

Death stalks Ovambo roads

THE alanningly high death toll on the roads 9f northern Namibia rose even higher on Monday night when a dramatic accident in which two men were killed marred the funeral of popular busi­nessman Eliakim N amundjebo.

One victim was the nephew of the late Namundjebo, a man in his early twenties called Simeon Kakoto. The other dead man, Abed Nekai, was of a similar age, He died on arrival at Ollangokwe mission hospital, despite all efforts by mediCal staff to save him.

A third passenger, Johannes Nautende, remains critically ill in Oshakati hospital, while a fourth, Amwele Lazarus escaped with minor injuries.

The car was retuming to Oshakati from Namundjebo' s funeral, which took place at Ondangwa. when the accident happened. Travelling through Omwandi wa Kamanya just outside On­dangwa, the car driver had to brake suddenly to avoid a pedestrian who ran out into the road. The car went out of control and rolled three times leaving a mangled wreck.

Concern over the number of accidents occurring on the roads in Ovambo is growing among residents of the region. On the same day as the Ondangwa tragedy, five more men were injured after an accident 0:0 the road from Eenhana to Ondangwa.

Stories abqund of bad road accidents, said to be due largely to drunkenness; irresponsible driving, careless pedestrians and the presence of animals on the road. With long distances encouraging fast speeds, most accidents occur after dark when obstacles in the road leave the driver with little chance.

No one seems to have ready answers to the serious situation, though increased. police control of unroad~orthy vehicles and unllcenced drivers is suggested as a possibility.

ing from high treason to theft and housebreaking after the Namibian Police last year found a massive quantity of arms and ammunition at the homes of a number of right-wingers.

Five of the co-accused skipped bail a month ago and fled the country. 1my are Oun.ar Dreves, Thomas Henke, To­bias De Klerk, Alexander Schreiner and Holm Nebe.

In the trial within a trial, being held to determine the validity of the accuseds' state­ments, defence counse( yes­terday argued that, in the light of Kleynhans' limited intel­lectual potential, he could have been easily influenced.

. Further, defence counsel maintained that an alleged promise made by Sergeant Pottie Potgieter that Kleynhans would be discharged if he co­operated and told the truth, prompted the accused to re­veal certain facts to Potgieter

and make a statement to In­spector Visser.

In his testimony, Dr Raath told the court "it is general knowledge that if a stupid persoo and an intelligent person inter­act, the stupid one will be in­fluenced by the intellectual one".

In the case of Kleynhans, Raath found that the accused's intellectual potential was of such a nature that he could function independently in a society only to the extent of fulfilling his basic needs. "His intellectual capacity llipits it to that, " he added. '.

Raath pointed out, however, that Kleynhans' intelle<;tual capacity was not that bad that he would be unaware of what he was saying during the inter­rogation, although there were other factors which had to be taken into consideration.

The crucial point for the COUlt

"First I would like to con­gratulate the people who have been promoted. But then, I would like to say that this Government is becoming too big - it is too expensive for Namibia."

Katjiuongua added that the Prime Minister had said the bureaucracy was too big and must be reduced but at the same time the government was be':­coming bigger.

Katjiuongua pointed out that ministers earned R12 000 a month and a deputy RIO 000 plus cars, houses and other perks, not to mention the costs of their staff and offices.

On the appointment of Peter Katjavivi as Vice-Chancellor of~ Universio/, the NPF leader said: "I want to congratulate my friend.

Angula sends top task

'.,

force north MINISTER of Education Nahas Angula on Friday announced the dispatch of a high level task force to the north to look at solutions to the region's educational problems.

A statement released by Angula said the Ministry of Edu­cation was well aware of the problems that existed in the north.

This included hostel deficiencies, personnel matters, the lack of text books and study materials as well as other problems that students and lecturers at Teacher Trainlng Colleges experienced.

The main purpose of the task force wlU be to consult with local officials and other interested parties to ftnd practical solutions to the problems within existing financial limita­tions. Angula said the Ministry wished to assure all concerned of its commitment to improving facilities and training pro­grammes. The task force includes the Permanent Secretary of Education, the Director of Personnel, the College Co-ordina­tor and the Chief Inspector of Hostels.

Yesterday the delegation was at Katima MuIDo, today they will stop at Rundu and tomor!;,ow, Ongwediva.

According to eyewitness reports, the quarrel esca­lated to the point where Sheya fetched an automatic rifle from his house and shot the soldier through the head.

Details of the incident are still confused, though a Nampa report quotes De­fence Force spokesperson Colonel Martin Nashandi as saying the dead man was first threatened with a pis­tol by Sheya before the rifle was fetched.

Namibian Muslims called to fight

Kleynhans ' intellectual capac­ityhadinfluenced what he told police officers during his in­terrogation.

Judge Bryan O'Lino main­tained that Kleynhans did not need extra intelligence to an­swer those questions as they were straightforward questions which dealt with concrete in­formation known to him.

O 'Lino also served notice that he might order an in cam­era hearing this moming to evaluate the questions put to the accused by the psycholo­gist. This would be done to determine the quality of the questions which the accused was tested on.

(Continuing)

NAMIBIA'S Islamic conunu­nity has received a letter from Muslim leaders in South Af­rica calling them to join an anny of volunteers .to fight with Iraq in th~ Gulfwar, ne.cording to a report by the ni<ws agency, Nampa.

Muhammad Dawood, co­ordinator of the Namibia Is­lamic Fwndation, said he would not conunent on the circular but added that the foundation believes any war causes pain, loss and mass destruction. In the light of the Government position on the war, the foun­dation will not issue statements, but hopes that peace will re­turn to the area as quickly as possible.

The South African Muslim Council of Theologians wrote to Muslim bodies that the war was no longer a conflict be­tween Iraq and Kuwait but had been transformed into a Mus­lim versus non-believer con­flict through American and British intervention.

FOR THE BEST RESULTS ADVERTISE

IN THE NAMIBIAN

The Council adds that Mus­lims cannot stand by while their brethren in Iraq are murdered and aims to recruit 10 (XX) people to join the war. "Religiously it is incumbent on us to stand by the side of our brothers who are being slaughtered merci­lessly, brutally andiohumanly

by the relentless bombing of America and its allies.

"It is the strong desire of Muslims in this country to be on the side of the Iraqis in the mission to rid the sacred skies and sacred land of Iraq from the American pollution' , , says the circular.

THE NAMIBIAN

Education at home

I WOULD like to air my view on the NBC TV Spc:>tlight of February 10: There will be some who would agree and others not. That's fine. I have sympa­thy with each and every Na­mibian who is willing to make it his/her duty to combat crime.

From an educational point of view: where does education start? At home.

To come straight to the point there is nothing wrong with the films shown on television. Parents like to send their kids to watch TV without giving any guidaDCe.

While that child is watching he/she wants to ask questions but the parents are not neces­sarily there. Parents must show more interest in their children.

Parental guidance is very important so as to explain cer­tain issues to the child. You

. must lead your child and not expect the television to do it for you.

The NBC could give an indication as to which films need parental guidaDCe.

CONCERNED NAMIBIAN WlNDHOEK

Koevoet pension

I wouw like to inquire about the R36-million to be paid out . for pensions to ex-fighters.

Ibeani that the mooey would be paid to ex-combatant., but now I UDdcrstmd that the JI1ODe)' will only be paid to those who were in the service until the

. end ofOctobei 1989. I would lib to know what

happens to thoae oful who are in prison. Will we also benefit fromthe money?Becauselam an Glt-Koevoct fighter my DIUIIe

should also be on the list. Some of us have been in

prison siDCe 1988. We com­mitted crimes while working for the South Africans and we dido't get salaries. I need that pension money because I am married with children.

We were used by the colo­nial regime to fight against our brothers and sisters. At the time of the war we did not realise we were brainwashed and did not realise we were fighting against our brothers .

We feel we should allo get our pension money from the R36-million.

WORRIED FIGHTER WlNDHOEKPRISON

South neglected

I WRIT'E this. as an open letter to the Minister of Police, Hifekpunye Pohamba, and hope you will publish it in the news­paper of the nation. I really want Mr Pohamba and his Ministry to answer me hon­estly on certain questions.

We here in the southern regions are badly neglected. In this regard, we feel as though we still resort Wlder a colonial power.

There is no change for us in the south. We bear every day that people in the north ap­proach the police with com­plaints about white employ­ers, and I am sure the police assists them, but this is not the case here in the south. In Mariental it is particularly bad.

I wish I could prove it, but I suspect collusion between police and white farm owners in the Mariental region.

I say this because police simply refuse to respond to the call of black farm workers. White farmers tell you that the police won't turn up, and they don't.

The farms are regarded as private kingdoms and they are mostly under the control of white foremen and not the farmowners themselves.

We want to ask the Minister . whetherwearepartofaninde­pendent Namibia? Does the Ministry inform the Mariental police that tiLnes have changed and that they are no longer working for the apartheid re­gime?

Must we continued to ap­proach the Mariental police or must we take steps to protect ourselves against farm-own­ers?

The Minister should also see that Mariental gets more po­lice cquipment,like police cars, because their excuse often is that they don't have enough vcllicles which is why they don't turn up.

I write this with all respect for you. Please don't turn a deaf ear.

MORIVANA MARlENTAL

Passport problem

I AM cODCemod about our official documents, more par­ticularly passports and identi­ficalicn cards. These documcms are very important tous but the service we receive from the Ministry of Home Affairs is not satisfactory. , SometiLnes we get helped, sometimes we are sent back with no reason. In the case of ID we are told to wait for two months, for some of us have waited up to eight months but nothing has been done. We are tired of this.

Some of us want to go for further studies, some want to be employed, but we cannot do these because of the delays in our documents.

I appeal to the Ministry to extend their wodcing hours, and to remember that they owe a service to the people of this country who fought for its freedom, and not just the mi­nority.

NINGAS~ WlNDHOEK

Different . meanIngs

THE concept of ' development' has become a popular one among NGOs, the private sec­tor and govemment in Nrurubia. There appears to be coofusio~

as to the meaning of develop­ment. The first, and perhaps most widely current miscom­prehension is the fact that most people talk as if there is only one meaning to the concept.

The prevailing opinion de­rives from the fact that some NGOs, govenunent officials and business persons tend to think of the people as 'primitive', as primarily rural, as peasants leading their daily lives in nruch the same way as they did a hundred years ago.

The prevailing opinion holds to the view that the rural people are poor because they lack the will to be 'modem', and that' they do not understand the idea of progress and lack the kind of initiative which has made the wban population relatively wealthy.

It is this dominant view in certain quarters which advo­cates for an extension of fully capitalist mechanisms in the rural areas. But essential to our understanding of the backward­ness of the rural areas is the recognition of the uneven penetration of colonialism into these areas.

It is to this process that we must attribute the virtual de­struction of the 'natural econ­omy' of the rural areas, the development 'of unequal ex­change relations and the cream­ing off of the swplus created by rural efforts - all of which contributed to the development of the urban centres.

It is also on this process that we have to base our definition of development. Hence, the concept of developmeot IIbould be viewed in the contextual or situatiooal dimension. This is the dynamic elemcmt to the development proce ...

It involves aocio-cuJtural, p0-litical institutional ideological factors ~f the context within which development is being plamJCd and implemented.

There are different CODCeptS of development and it is inap- . propriate to shout about devel-

opment without explaining the meaning of it.

Currently there is much controversy in: the local media about the maning of develop­ment as there is about the meaning of democracy.

There are however, two main streams of thought on the issue of development am0D8 Nanubi­aruI. To some it means eco­nomic development measures in terms of economic growth.

1hi.s view characterises de­velopment as a quantitive con­cept. It holds that development occurs where the GDP of the country increases at a satisfac­tory annual percentage rate of growth. .

This ccmcept of development as economic growth is very dominant among certain Namibia sectors. They believe that all you have to do is guar­antee development in those areas which are underdevel­oped is to extend economic aid to generate economic growth.

They also believe that such economic growth is possible only under the 'pure' capitalist mode of production.

There is. another more pro­gressive group which sees development as involving more than just economic growth. It sees development as a qualita­tive change in the daily lives of the members of society.

For them development is not synomyous with the growth of capitalism. . They see it as coming about through the es­tablishment of a mode of pro­duction which they describe as mixed economy.

Their understanding of de­velopment includes also the cODCept of development that takes into consideration the historical factors ofNamibian society.

Theyugue the need for de­velopment arises our of a his­torical cognition of underde­velopment and their concept of development is influenced to a large extent by the charac­ter of this underdevelopment.

This view of development therefore, sees that the exist­ing imbalaDCCs could only be remedied through the applica­tion of a mixed economy ..

It is therefore essential to UDdcrstand what various people mean by development.

SIMON ZHU MBAKO WlNDHOEK :-

Rush for condoms MASVINGO: Hotels in Masvingo, Zimbabwe, are find· ing that condoms are so popular among their customers that they run out of them within days, and at least one hotel has introduced condom rationing, reports Ziana News Agency. -

Nearly every hotel reported it was experiencing a severe shortage of condoms for free distribution or for selliIig to their patrons.

Hotel officials said most of the condoms they received from the Zimbabwe National Family Planning Council usually only lasted a few days, as many people came to collect them in bulk, it added.

At one of the hotels the last consignment of condoms they had was received about two weeks ago.

"We are having problems here, as most patrons came demanding for them (condoms)," said the receptionist at another hoteL

She said the hotel was having to restrict the number of con doms a cust omer could freely take or buy.

Several hotels' patrons said they found the shortage worrying Ziana repor ted. - Sapa

Trade figures plunge as SA stockpiles oil

JOHANNESBURG: South Africa's trade surplus for January took a maJor nose dive, plunglng,by 92 per cent below the December' ftpre and 87 per cent below the January 1~ ftgore. '

At the Same time imports for the peri~d jumped by 27 per cent on last January while imports only rose by a margina11,6 per cent.

The Department of Customs and Excise reported yesterday that the trade surplus for January was R145 million compared to RI,8 billion in December and R1,I2 billion in January last year .

. The main cause in the dramatic decline in the trade figures is a massive increase in imports, especially in the unclassified sector,

The figure here rose fromlas! January's R395 million to a hefty R1275 billion last month, a rise of R880 million, or 223 per cent. - Sapa

Gulf war threatens Mrican • economIes

HARARE: Painful progress towards long-term growth and political stability in southern African countries is under threat from the surge in oil prices last year due to the Gulf crisis, economists said yesterday.

MCJl.III11bique, Zambia and Zimbabwe have all imposed big fuel price in­creases, pushing up the cost of airlift­ing food aid to remote areas ofMozam­bique cut offby rebel attacks, disrupt­ing public transport in Lusaka and stoking inflation in Harare.

The price of the world benchmark crude oil, Brent Blend, leaped from 20 dollars a barrel on the eve of Iraq's August 2 invasion of Kuwait to more than 38 dollars in October.

Although is has since fallm to aroood 16 dollars a barrel, the steep climb had

within twq months of the crisis, Finance Minister Gibson Cbi.gaga

has estimated the fuel import bill would rise to 180 million dollars in 1990, from 100 million dollars the previous year.

Like Mozambique, Zambia is ap­plying tough refonns including a cut . in public spending in a bid to reverse a sh.aJp economic decline caused by a slump in prices of copper, its main export.

The fuel price increase will raise distribution and other business costs,

slowing the pace of reforms, econo­mists .said.

_ Zimbabwe, with a much stronger economy, has also doubled oil prices, raising haulage costs and air fares and threatening a programme launched last October to liberalise trade as part of a . wider adjustment plan backed by the World Bank and the IMF. , The government estimates the fuel import bill will soar from 1.$385 mil­lion dollars originally budgeted for the year to June 1991, to 1.$935 mil­lion dollars. - Sapa~Reuter

already done great dwmage. r----------------------------------------------------"The economic effects of the Gulf

crisis are ~ over southern Africa like a vast tidal wave, threatening serious dwmage to frail economies and possi­bly future political stability," a Harare­based independent research body said.

The Southern African Research and Documentation Centre (SARDC) said in a report that costs had risen rapidly in all economic sectors since August, playing havoc with planning. '

Fuel prices had more than doubled in Mozambique, which is restructur­ing its economy with help from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The cost of airlifting emergency supplies jumped to 1 000 dollars a tonne, from 680 dollars, after fuel price rises of 64 per cent and 42 per cent in September and November, SARDC said.

"These increases have become a burden on this war-tom country, , , the centre said, adding that the rises had dealt a blow to plans to reduce infla­tion to 18 per cent by the end of last year. It did not give the previous infla­tion figure.

"The (Mozambique) National P1ari­ning Commission now believes it has ri~n to again to 30 per cent and pos­sibly more," it said.

Zambia, facing an economic crisis and struggling to pay external debts of more than seven billion dollars, raised pump prices more than 400 per cent

Zimbabwe's land reform JOHANNESBURG: Witwatersrand Attorney-General Klaus von Lieres said on state television on Monday night that the witnesses in the Winnie Mandela trial had refused police protection and that now granting them protection under the security laws would constitute a misuse of power.

efforts bite the dust

Speaking on Agenda, Von Lieres said the protection of wit­nesses was governed by basic rules. A citizen of a country had a duty to give evidence once subpoenaed, but the rights of the individual were considered by the courts, he said.

There were only limited circumstances when witnesses were granted special protection.

He said witnesses in the Mandela trial received protection from the Legal Resources Centre and the Methodist Church, and that he had no basis to grant them protection under the security laws. He said the Internal Security Act was to protect the security of the population, and in these circumstances would be a misuse of power.

He refused to conunent on the intricacies of the trial, but said the absence of witnesses would have a negative effect on the proceedings. He said it was important for the conununity to realise that all involved in the case must be represented. - Sapa.

Peace call DURBAN: The leaders of the ANC and Inkatha have issued another call for peace in the region, following the outbreak ofvi.olence at three flashpoinls since the historic meeting be­tween the executives of the two organisations in Durban on January 29.

In a statement released at the end of a meeting at a Dur­ban hotel on Monday night, the ANC and Inkatha Freedom Party declared they were now at peace. Should any misun­derstandings arise between them, disputes should be settled at local leadership level, the statement said. It said peace­making mechanisms were to be established in all areas as rapidly as possible. - Sapa

Rail ambush MAPUTO: Renamo rebels ambushed two goods trains in separate incidents on the line from Maputo to South Africa on Monday, Radio Mozambique reported.

HARARE: Only days after a fierce defence of his contrO­versial resettlement pro­granune, Zimbabwean Presi­dent Robert Mugabe has had his position undermined by reports of the collapse of land reform efforts.

Ground war looms as Bush . rejects Soviet peace plan

NICOSIA: us President Gea-ge Bush apparently cleared the way for the start of a Gulf ground war, saying an 11th hour Soviet peace plan fell short of Allied demands.

Without waiting for Iraq's response to proposals by So­viet President Mikhail Gor­bachev, Bush yesterday ruled out negotiations with Baghdad and declared:

Left: WAVING goodbye to peace? US President George Bush yesterday said the Gorbachev plan fell well short of what is required for peace. Pho­tograph: Agence France­Presse

"The goals have been set out - there will be no conces­sions, "

He told reporters the Gor­bachev plan, put to Iraqi For­eign Minister Tareq Aziz in Kremlin talks on Monday, "falls well short of what would be required".

Bush made his remarks as more than 500 000 Allied troops stood poised in Saudi Arabia to launch one of the biggest land battles in history against half of Iraq's one-million strong army in and around Kuwait.

But Gorbachev' s spokesman Vitaly Ignatenko suggested Moscow was coming out finnly against a land assault after more than a month of relentless bombing.

He told reporters: "This offensive would result in greater casualties and greater destruc­tion. Our position is to prevent this destruction."

But he said Moscow had made no specific call to Bu sh to hold back the assault pending a reply from Saddam. Soviet officials have declined to reveal . the contents of the plan. Bush, in his first comments on the pro­posals, said: "President Gor­bachev asked that I keep the details of it confidential and I'm going to do that," Bush said. "I will respect that re­quest in the interest of thor­oughly exploring the initiative."

The campaign to drive Iraq from Kuwait went into its 34th day with the Allies tightening

the screw on Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

Waves of bombers blasted central Baghhad all through the night in some of the heavi­est raids on his capital.

Iraq's deputy prime minis­ter was quoted in Iran as say­ing his country had suffered more than 20 000 dead and 60 000 wounded in the first 26 days of the war - 20 times higher than previous official lists.

Aziz left Tehran for Baghdad after briefing Iranian leaders on the Gorbachev plan. Soviet Foreign Minister Alexander Bessmertnykh said the Iraqi minister " must retum to Moscow in the shortest pos­sible time" .

Correspondents on the war front said Allied forces were manoeuvring into final posi­tions for a land battle after a month-long air onslaught of Iraqi strntegic taIgets and troops.

"I separate myself from the policies of Gorbachev and call for hisirnmediate resignation and the transfer of power to the collective body , the Council of Federation, " Yeltsin said in a live country-wide television broadcast. ~

Yeitsin said Gorbachev had deceived the people in his almost six years in power and had assumed dictatorial powers under the guise of an executive presidency.

Yeltsin also criticised a new' price reform package put for­ward by the Soviet central government 0.0. Monday.

" The new government is going about reform in the old . way. It is my opinion that this will lead to a dead end," he said.

Ulenga besoek Karibbiese

Eilande Die Sekretaris Generaal van die Mynwerkersunie van Namibie, Ben Ulenga het gedurende die tydperk tussen 25 J anuarie en 8 Februarie drie Karibbiese eilande besoek as deel van 'n uitruiUingsprogram tussen die Suiderafrikaanse Kongres van Vakbonde (SACTU) en die Karibbiese Arbeidskongres.

In' n onderhoud met N amp a het hy gese die doel van sy reis was om vakbondleiers uit Suidelike-Afrika op hoogte te hou van die arbeidssituasie op die eilande.

Ulenga se die reis was ook om broederlike en solidariteitsbande tussen vakbonde van die twee streke te smee. Verder moes hulle ookkollegas inlig oor die toestande inSuidelike-Afrika. Spesiale aandag is gegee aan die arbeidssituasie en die politieke toestande hier en hoe dit die werkers bemvloed om 'n beter begrip aan hul kollegas in die Karibbiese Eilande te gee.

Hy het gedurende sy besoek verskillende vakbonde, reger­ingsamptenare, gemeenskapsleiers, werkgewers, werkgewersor­ganisasies en arbeiders ontmoet.

THE NAMIBIAN

DIE President van Namibie, Sam Nujoma, het gister die instelling van twee nuwe ministeries en die aanstelling van vyf adjunk.ministers aang­ekondig.

Oit is die eerste her­rangskikking van die minis­teries sedert onathanklikheid.

Nujoma se 'n studie oor die diensverrigting van hierdie min-

isteries oor die afgelope tien maande het getoon dat som­mige van hulle lomp is en te veel pligte bet, gevolglik is van hierdie ministers oorlaai met werk.

Die ministeries wat opgedeel is, is onderskeidelik di6 van Landbou, Visserye, Waterwese en Landelike Ontwikkeling en van Opvoeding, Kultuur, Jeug en Sport.

Gert Hanekom bebou die

portefeulje van Minister van Landbou, Waterwese en Lan­delike Ontwikkeling terwyl 'n nuwe ministerie vir Visserye en Seebronne geskep is. Hier­die portefeulje sal deur Helmut Angula, voorheen adjunk­minister van Mynwese en Energie gevul word.

Visserye is volgens die presi­dent 'n sektor wat na verwag­ting een van die grootste bydr­aes tot die bruto binnelandse

produk sallewer en dit is nodig om iemand aan te stel wat sy onverdeelde aandag aan hier­die sektor sal gee.

Nujoma se dit is 'n wanvoor­stelling om die elf onderwys­telsels wat met onafbanklikbeid geerf is as gefragmenteer te beskryf. Volgens horn is dit wat die regering geerf het 'n krisis.

Nabas Angula bly nog steeds die Minister van Opvoeding en Kultuur terwyl 'n aparte ministerie vir Jeug en Sport geskep is. Pendukeni Itbana sal as minister in hierdie min­isterie dien. Die jeugkompo­neat van hierdie ministerie moet indringend kyk na die probleem van jeugwerkloosbeid enhier­die probleem op 'n nasionaIe grondslag aanspreek.

Die ad junk-minister van Handel en Nywerheid, Reggie Diergaardt, is aangestel in dieselfde posisie in die Minis­terie van Jeug en Sport.

Twintig vroue van Okatseidi in die Uukwaluudhi·streek het 'n kursus in basiese voorkoming van siektes ontvang. BuI wooopi~k het nie 'n hospitaal nie en hulle moet die gemeenskap inlig en help met die voorkoming van voorkombare siektes soos malaria en diarree en moet ook die gemeenskap inlig oor die immuniseringspro­gramme.

Verder is daar vyf nuwe aanstellings tot die kabinet gemaak. Ben Ulenga is die ad junk-minister van Wildlewe, Bewaring en Toerisme en Amon van Wietersbeim is die adjunk­minister van Handel en Ny­werheid. Die adjunk-minister van Mynwese en EOergiesake is Jesaya Nyamu terwyllyambo Indongo die adjunk-minister van Gesondbeid en Maatskap­like dienste word. Barmenas Rick Kukuri word die adjunk in die Ministerie van Finan­sies.

.Vermeende veedief glo aangerand 'n PERSOON wat op die toneel van 'n veediefstal op 'n plaas in die omgewing van Okahandja gevange geneem is beweer hy is deur die polisie aangerand na sy inhegtenisname en het 'n k1ag van aanranding teen die polisie op die dorp gele. Die man, Pandeni Karuri en '0 ander staan tereg op 'n k1ag van die slagting van sewe dragtige koeie.

Lede van die Okahandja polisie bet hulle op heter daad betrap terwyl hulle besig was met die slagtery in die veld waarop hulle voet in die wind geslaan bet. Die polisie het waarskuwingskote in die lug gevuur maar geeneen van die diewe wou stop nie. Karuri bet volg= die polisie van die rotse

afgeval omdat die voorval in 'n IUwe gebied plaasgevind het. Indien hy nie geval bet nie sou hulle horn nie kon arresteer nie.

Die volgende dag het die polisie nog 'n arrestasie ge­maak toe bulle Karuri severm­eende metgesel opgespoor bet. Karuri was in die hospitaal

Borgtog vir beweerde Rooioog-bende

r DIE Windhoekse magistraatshof het vandag borgtog van R5 000 elk aan beweerde lede van die Rooioog­bende toegestaan. Die vier, Dawid "Pele" Kahatjipara, Martin Nathaniel, Nican<?r Oavid en Sebulon Lilongwe is sedert Sondag in gevangenskap gehou nadat hulle na bewering in 'n skietvoorval op die dag betrokke was waarin een persoon doodgeslriet en drie gewond is.

Klagtes wat teen die vier gemaak is, is van poging tot moord, roof en kwaadwiIlige beskadiging van eiendom.

Diehofbet die borgtog toegestaan op voorwaarue dat al vier die beskuldigdes hul paspoorte en identiteitsdokumente gister by die Katutura polisiestasie moes inbandig.

Almal behalwe Kahatjipara moet daagliks twee keer by die polisiestasie aanmeld.

Die saak is uitgestel tot 29 Maart terwyl die omlersoeknog aan die gang is.

opgeneem en is weer ontslaan en aan die polisie oorhandig. . Die streekskommisaris op die dorp bet die saak bevestig deur te se daar is 'n doktersverslag oor die aangeleentheid opgestel en dit sal nog deur 'n kom­misie ondersoek word.

Die eienaar van die plaas beweer hy bet twintig koeie in

die afgelope tyd aan veedief­stal verloor en volgens die polisie se bewerings stem dit ooreen met die uitslae van hul ondersoek.

Die polisie het, insluitend die sewe kDeie wat in die voorval geslag is, die oorblyfsel van nog dertien ander koeie op die plaas gevind.

Noorwee help Namibie • 'n OOREENKOMS behoort vandag geteken te word tussen Noorwee en NanUbie oor wedersydse samewerk­ing tussen die twee lande.

Dit word verwagna afvaardigings van beide lande vir die laaste twee dae met samesprekings in die verb and besig was.

Die Noorweegse parlement het ongeveer R26-miljoen aan ontwikkclingshulp aanNamibie beloof virvanjaaren die verwag­ting is dat dit dieselfde in die volgende twee jaar sal wees.

Die hulp sal hoofsaaldik in die vissery en energiesektore gebruik word. Noorwee sal Nanubie hcrlp om beskermingstelsel vir sy vissone te ontwikkel en sal ook die land bystaan met navorsing oor visbronne. Verder sal Namibie gebelp word met die opstel van sy wetgewing wat sake rakende sy vissone bepaal.

In die energiesektor sal Noorwee die land behulpsaam wees met die aanle van elektriese krag in Owamboland en sal ook die Ministerie van Mynwese en·Energiesalre bystaan met petrolwetge­wing en eksplorasiewerk.

JR ATHLETICS GETS SPONSORSHIP

LOCAL athletes received a boost when the Welwitschia Insurance Brokers and the Aegis Insurance Company decided to sponsor junior athletics on Independence Day.

Revealing this good news to the Namibian Sport was Elronah Smit of Lintas Namibia, who said the event would be known as the WelwitschialAegis Prestige Athletics Meeting.

The two insurance companies will officially hand­over the generous sponsorship cheque of RIO 000 to the organisers at the Independence Stadium VIP·Booth tomorrow at 17h30.

ZAGALO QUITS VASCO DA GAMA

VETERAN Brazilian coach Mario Zagalo quit his job with Vasco da Gama on Monday after receiving police protection from jeering fans at the weekend.

Zagalo, who won World Cup Winners' medals with Brazil in 1958 and 1962 and as coach in 1970, had been in charge of the Rio de Janeiro club for less than six months. Vasco have collected only two points from three leagu~ games and Zagalo was given police protec· tion from angry fans after they managed only a 2·2 home draw with Bragantino.

The team's performances since Zagalo b'ecame coach have been disappointing. The club failed to reach the last eight of last year's Brazilian championship and were knocked out of the Libertadores Cup by Colom­bian club Atletico Nacional in the quarter-finals.

Explaining the reasons for starting a new dub, Jafta had . the foUowing to say: "We are trying to rill the va~um ·that exists for a sports ,club in the townships .

most of the match and its players thought a penalty should have been called when Pat Nevin was knocked down in the penalty area by Liverpool defender Gary Ablett late in the first half.

Liverpool were also dealt a hard blow when their English international midfielder Steve McMahon was also taken off the field in the 12th minute after a collision with Everton's John Ebbrell.

Liverpool goalie Bruce Grobbelaar also made tough saves, including a pair after Glenn Hysen's poor back pass was intercepted by Graeme Sharp.

SONNEX-DULUX TO SPONSOR GOLF

SONNEX-DUNLOP and Sonnex-Dulux will be spon­soring a junior golf competition with valuable prizes at the Windhoek Country Club on Friday, February 22.

The competition will start at approximately 14hoo depending on how quickly the juniors can get to the club after school. The 1 to 15 handicappers will be playing an 18 hole medal competition with the 16 and up battling an 18 hole stableford competition.

Juniors are reminded that they must have synthetic grass to play off on the fairways as pegs are only allowed on tees, and divots must be filled in with sand and pitch marks on the greens must be corrected. Sonnex-Dunlop and Sonnex-Dulux are also prepared to sponsor another three similar events when the Sonnex Group Medal is played on a Saturday, depending on the response from the juniors golfers from this Friday' s competition.

TSHAKILE SHINES AT RACE EVENT

NATIONAL record holder Tshakile Nzimande ofPresi­dent Steyn turned in a fine performance when he won the men's 200m against a wind of 0,47 per second in 20,40 which compared favourably with his own national record of 20,31 seconds.

Earlier in the evening, Springbok Johan Rossouw of Free State University just pipped Nzimande in the men's 100 metres. Rossouw clocked 10,65 seconds with Nzimande timing 10,68 seconds. Springbok Dries VOI"­ster ofIscor V anderbijlpark again proved that he has no equal in South Africa in the 400 metres hurdles for men.

Vorster beat a strong field convincingly in 49,31 sec­onds in the windy conditions. Springbok Martin Swart of Prisons in Pretoria caused an upset by beating na­tional champion Dawie Kok (Tech.

'Hlasek best local shooter

CONRAD ANGULA

ONE· TIME national champion, Dieter ffiasek, proved why he is one of the best in practical shooting when he clinched the Coastal Open championsips held at Swakopmund last Saturday.

Hlasek won both the Stan­dard and Assault courses to become the overall winner with 96,84 points but he reJ.inquishe4 the Speed course to E Burger.

Hlasek is now the 1990 Namibian champion. Because of the visit of the Namibian Practical Shooting national team to Zimbabwe in November last year, the last leg of the 1990 Namibian Championships could not be completed until last Saturday.

Our national team won the Zimbabwe championships with loc.al star Bennie Boshofftak­ing the overall top spot.

For those who do not now what practical shooting is all about: Competitors use large­calibre pistols, and shoot against the clock at a variety of targets at varying distances.

Moving targets are often incorporated and the shooters are usually graded inclassesA through D according to ability.

Every competition consists of:

• standard section, where targets are stationary and times are fixed;

! j t

* a speed section, where targets are usually close and the fastest person wins; and

* an assault section, where moving targets (steel plates, etc) confront the shooter at different distances and angles, requiring him to move from one position to the next.

And according to the rules, every match is different so that specific exercises do not be­come repetitive.

Our local guys will have another chance to compete against their Zimbabwean counterparts as part of our Independence celebrations on March 21.

Namibia and Zimbabwe will also have a three test series in June. Two tests will be played in Windhoek with one being conducted at Swakopmund.

The full results oflast week­end's championships is a8 fol­lows:

Class A: 1. D. Hlasek, 2. B. Boshoff, 3. J. van Biljon.

Class B: 1. F. de Witt, 2. N. Neumann, 3. A. Shaun.

Class C: 1. A. van Niekerk, 2. J. Richter, 3. E. Burger.

Dn:TER Hlasek, the new champion of the Coastal Practical Shooting Championships staged at Swakopmund. Hlasek, a member of the national team, is also the Namibian champion.

A model of the large-calibre pistol used for practical shooting.

Four hour gala produces four records THE Pepsi Aquapentathlon of last Saturday brought out the best in some 82 competitors. They competed in four events of lOOm freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly and completed a 200m individual medley course as a fifth event.

Not only did 57 swimmers manage all five events but two swimmers went on to break Namibianrecords. .

Top hooours nmst go to Gwen Currie. who swims for Swakopmund but trains in Omaruru, who won all five of her events and also smashed the lOOm butterfly record.

She reduced Come Joubert's record of. 1:40,26 by 20 sec­onds. loubert's pentathlon ppints also exceeded all other swimmers.

Tristan Cowley frem Mar­lins in Windhoek took a old butterfly record and rewrote it with a new time of 1:49,94.

He added four firsts to that record which gave him top spot with 140 points in the under-10 age group.

15-year-old Monica Dahl twice came within two sec· onds of Joachim von Alven­sleben's time and once it was as close as half a second. In the butterfly she narrowed the margin to just five-hundredths of a second but in the back­stroke she finally triumphed over her tired companion by almost a second.

Marlin swimmer Kerstin Austaller joined Monica and

Gwen with five wins in five events in the 11/12-age group.

With strong swimmers in each age group the Namibian women swimmers can look forward to many successful seasons.

However, stiff competition kept the sport alive and healthy on the male side. No swimmer dominated in any age group.

Chris Bass (Marlins), Tris­tan Cowley (Marlins) and Kyle Owen-Smith (Swakop) took gold in four events but were each out-classed in the fifth event.

Saturday's event was the fifth and last National Age Group gala of the season.

According to the Namibia Amateur Swimming Union, the swimming season is now ap­proaching its peak with the Narnibian Open Ownponships only seven days away and the Namibian Junior Champion­ship!l frur weeks away en Man::h 15/16.

Every winner at the Aquap­entathlon was also awarded a trophy courtesy of the spon­sors and each participant who swam in all five events will be receiving a certificate courtesy of Mobil Oil Namibia.

Local swimmers take to the water dwing a swimming gala staged at the Wmdhoek .Swimming pool earlier in the season. The Namibian Open Championships is only seven days away.

PARIS: When the young stars of Africa go on parade in ~gypt this weekend, the leading members of the cast will be missing. Nigeria, winners of the African Youth Championship a record four consecutive times, have been barred for fielding ineligible players in the world f'mals two years ago.

Qualifiers Algeria withdrew last week because Egypt sup­port the Allied forces fighting Iraq. Algeria opposed the in­vasion of Kuwait, but are sympathetic to Iraqi president Saddam Hussein.

And Tunisia, another north African country where Sad­dam has considerable backing, may also pull out after failing to have the finals postponed or moved to another venue.

The absence of at least two leading football nations is a

bitter blow to the egyptians, the first hosts of the new-look finals to be staged in alexan­dria, Ismailia and Cairo. Pre~~c~~swere

played on a home-and-away knock-out basis, and follow­ing Algrian and Egyptian vic­tories, the • 'Flying Eagles" of Nigeria monopolised the bien­nial event.

After two qualifying rounds under the old format, seven nations booked their tickets to the finals, which kick off on

Ffebruary 22 and last two weeks. Egypt were drawningroup a

withlvory cost, Cameroon and Tunisia while Algeria's with­drawalleaves Ghana, Zambia and Ethiopia in group B.

The teams finishing first and seCond in the final standings progress to the semi-finals. A bonus for the finalists is a place in the world championship in Portugal next June.

'Home advantage and parti­san support virtually guaran­tee Egypt, one of only three

countries to lift the title, a place among the last four.

Ghana, who include several senior intemationals, will be favoured to top group B after overwhelming 1989 world championship finalists mali 6-o in a qualifying tie.

And despite strong claims by several other finalists, the odds against an Egypt-Ghana showdown at the Nasser sta­dium in Cairo on March 8 are short.
