TVAPPA NAMUTEWA AT OSHAKATI

FRAUD and pension theft appear to be con­tinuing unabated in Owambo, where it seems the Frank Commission will h~ve a hard job on its hands to stem corruption. KYOTO, Japan: Five southern Mrican nations yester­

day angrily withdrew proposals before a major wildlife conference to ease an international ban on elephant trade.

A young boy who spoke to The Namibian at Oshakati this week said he lived in fear of hi~ life after being forced at gunpoint to collaborate in a pension official's plot to steal money.

~threatened to kill the boy un­less he did as he was told.

After complying with the first instruction, the boy said he was ordered to take off his shoes and mark another paper with his big toe. He was then forced to put his tongue in the ink and mark a third paper.

Four' of those countries -Zimbabwe, Botswana, Malawi and Namibia - said they might quit a treaty controlling trade in endangered species alto­gether. That move woulO se­verely hamper international efforts to regulate elephant trade.

The four nations, along with South Africa, had submitted proposals to the Convention on International Trade In En­dangered Species, seeking to sell the meat and hides of ele­phants culled to keep herd numbers down.

International trade in Afri­can elephants was banned at the convention's last general meeting, held in Switzerland in 1989.

The African nations say

profits from these sales could then fund conservation efforts to help preserve the majestic mammals.

They also promised to vol­untarily respect a ban against ivory trading.

But the assurance proved too wt><!k to persuade deleg~ from 112 nations attending ' the meeting to support the propos­als, despite guarded support for the plans from some con­servation groups.

Yesterday, speaker after speaker opposed the plans, and the African nations withdrew rather than be embarrassed by a lopsided vote.

"We are indeed extremely perplexed," said Botswana

HANDCUFF PROTEST ... Eisa Louw staged a dra­matic protest against Santam Insurance Bank by hand­cuffing herself to a chair in the reception area of the city centre company saying she would not move until her claim was settled. See report below.

A 13-year-old schoolboy related how on February 17 (pension day) at Omuntele, he­was forced to mark pensi~n' papen with his big toe, thumb and tongue.

He alleged he was awroachxl during school break by a sol­dier and a pension official and told to go with them to a par­ticular pension point. When they arrived there, he was ordered to climb through the window.

Once inside, the soldier al­legedly told him to dip his finger in a pot of ink. Whenhe refused, the soldier allegedly put a bayonet on his ritle and

Louw sars her house and business in Windhoek West were burgled in July last year when virtually everything was taken.

Zimbabwe , Botswan a, Malawi and Namibia threat­ened to quit the treaty or exer­cise their "right of reserva­tion," which allows them to trade in elephants with non­convention members if their compromise wasn't adopted. So far, they have voluntarily not exercised this right.

"Today the elephant issue remains totally unresolved, with a risk of renewed ivory trade outside of CITES control," said Simon Stuart of the World Conservation Union. '"fhis sets a dangerous precedent."

The status of nearly 100 species is being considered at the meeting, but the elephant question has attracted the most

lucniiive trade in ivory has been a major factor in the depletion of the elephant population throughout Africa. Over one­fourth of Africa's 600 000 elephants are in the south.

Though many environmen­talists agree some elephant populations in the south are growing, opponents of the southem African proposal said they feared allowing hide and meat trade would send poach­ers the wrong message.

Caught by security. system TOM MINNEY

SOME larger shops are installing electronic secu­rity systems to curb what they politely call ' shrink­age' - most people call it 'theft' - but sometimes they catch people who are completely innocent.

This was the embarrassing experiellCe of professional nurse Hileni Auala, who found her­self stopped by a bleeping alarm at a city centre when she had actually paid in full for the blanket which .triggered the alarm.

Her story happened at OK Bazaars, one of the few large shops in Windhoek to use elec­tronic tags on their goods; Some 10 days ago at the height of OK's' -.show stoppers sale as Auala left the store the elec­tronic alarms went off.

Managing director Michael Prinz pointed out that this does sometimes happen due to human errors - in not removing all the large tags when goods are bought at the check-outs. There are notices at the doors, telling customers to take goods back to the check-outs and the secu­rity officer on the door should have explained that to AUala, saving her any embarrassment.

Instead there happened to be a temporary replacement se­curity guard on the door, who ordered Auala to stand at one side, without telling her what the problem was. It took sev-

, eral !l1iPutes, before a , ~taff . wor~.I .~~,})acktoJhe~93sh~,

and explain to Auala what had happened. He was immediately transferred to another job after the problem.. .

According to Prinz, 'shrink­age ' or theft is one of the big­gest problems faced by shops , . "Over the years we have lost millions", he estimated. There is talk in business circles that one shop lost as much as R75 0 000 in three months recently, Shrinkage comes through members of the public taking goods or through staff work­ing either with each other or with customers.

Prinz said OK had introduced the electronic tag system some four years ago and it had proved very effective.

Only trusted staff are given

ier to check the problem, meanwhile Auala was still held at the door in front of the Sat-urday crowds. 0

In the end the problem was solved. Apparently in the rush to get goods ready for the sale, explained Prinz, two tags were put onto Auala' s blanket, while goods nonnally only have one tag. When Auala paid for it, one tag was removed and the other stayed on to trigger the alarm.

He adds that normally when the alann is triggered the secu­rity guard explains the situ­ation and the shopper, if they have the receipt for the goods as Auala did, can quickly sort out the problem back at the cash desk. The problem arose due to the inexperience of the guard who did not deal with

A 25-year-old Namibian yesterdllY appeared before JudgeTbeo Frank on charges of murder and attempted murder.

WillemKharigub is accused of killing PauJina Kbarixus and wounding Sanna Aochamus at Mariental on April 27 last year.

Kharigub pleaded not guilty to the charges, but pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of culpable homicide on the first count.

Acconting to the charge-sheet Kharigub and Paulina Kharixus were at a dance at Mariental when an argument erupted between Aochamus and Khar­igub, who allegedly took out a knife and stabbed Aochamus four times in the upper arm. When Kharixus intervened and tried to stop Kharigub, he stabbed her in the neck.

Kharixus died on the spot from a massive loss of blood as a result of a main artery being slashed. .

Cops raidNBC", ~eizetape 'Unprecedented act' sparks fears over freedom of press

YESTERDAY'S dramatic midday raid on the NBC

, by the Namibian Police could hold serious impli­cations for freedom of expression, as well as for journalists' rights to carry out their jobs effectively.

During the raid police seized a recording of an NBC pro- . granune and allegedly harassed members of the NBC staff at the corporation's premises.

The police apparently also threatened to confiscate the video tape of an NBC televi­sion cameraman filming yes­terday's incident.

There are no known cases of journalistic material being seized since independence, and already journalists are worried that a dangerous precedent is

being set. At around 12h30 two po­

licemen appeared at the NBC's premises with. a search war­rant, authorising them to re- ' move a taped copy of the pro­gramme DeadLUle Namibia broadcast on March 5.

The search warrant was presented to NBC Senior Controller of News Yussuf Hassan and other news edi­tors, who apparently felt they had no choice but to comply with the police demand.

A statement by the NBC said that to avoid undue disruption of the newsroom, the leader of the police team Deputy Com­missioner Udo Klopfer was given the tape.

According to some sources, Klopfer was extremely rude to NBC staff.

THE NBC's Yusiif Hassan: 'It bodes iD for freedom of speech in Namibia ... '

MBATJIUA NGAVIRUE

Senior News Controller Hassan apparently had to in­tervene - and explain that he had given the order to film the raid - when Klopfer tried to seize the video tape from the cameraman.

The Deadline programme carried an interview with comnnmity leader Hans Goago­seb of the Orwetoveni town­ship at Otjiwarongo compiled · by the NBC's resident con-e­spondent Alfonsine Sambwe.

During the interview Goago­seb expressed community dis­satisfaction with the conduct of white members of the police force. ':..;:

He also suggested- that in future demonstrations would be staged by members of the community to voice their dis­satisfaction.

'These comments are believed to have been specifically di­rected against police conducf during last year's riot at Otjiwar­ongo, and the recent police attack on 'demonstrators out­side the breweries in Wind­hoek.

According to some reports, Goagoseb accused white po­lice memb~rs of undermining recOnciliation, and acting con­trary to the constitution.

'The Namibian Police are now believed to be investigating charges against the NBC un­der the Racial Discrimination ProhibftionAct:-oU9-91-. -- -

The poli.ce apparently feel

the Deadline Namibia inter­view was direct incitement to members of the public to take some form of action against white policemen.

It is however not clear who initiated the investigation against the NBC, or the charge under the Discrimination Act.

What is known is that Com­missioner Siggi Eimbeck ap­parently visited the NBC last Thursday and asked to listen to the offending tape.

Late yesterday afternoon Prosecutor-General Hans Heyman said he was aware of . the police investigation.

He had, however, not yet received a docket from the police, and a decision on whether to prosecute had not yet been t~en. "'The NBC statement said that

although it was the first time the police had acted against the NBC in this way, the' raid came in the wake of mounting police criticism of the corpo­ration.

In particular the police had been very critical of the NBC news department's eye-witness coverage of action taken by the police Task Force against demonstrators outside Namibia Breweries last week.

NBC Senior News Control­ler Yusuf Hassan said yester­

_day 's . police action was "an unprecedented act" ona public broadcasting corporation such as the NBC. . ,

"It bodes ill for the freedom of speech in Namibia, and is bound to ring alarm bells within the media -co~ of this country," HassaD. added. -

Good news on Labour Bill CLEAR hints of how the Government intends to use the future Labour Act were given in the National As­sembly yesterday.

Hitting back at claims that employers had been sacking workers in a rush to avoid the new, fairer terms, Labour and Manpower Development Min­ister Hendrik Witbooi pointed out that the bill could be made to apply some six months retro­active, covering retrenchments and dismissals for six months before the bill came into force.

"My ministry is not prepared to compromise on the protec­tion of workers from exploita­tion," promised the veteran leader.

He also hit back at sugges­tions that Narnibian workers were not productive and did not have a "work ethic".

Witbooi said much of the blame for inefficiency and bad attitudes belonged with em­ployers and supervisors in industry, hotels, restaurants and supermarkets.

Summing up the second reading debatc before commit-

TOM MINNEY

tee stages begin, Witbooi also gave a warning to diplomatic missions, some of which have been accused of exploiting Namibian staff. He pointed out ' that under article 55 of a Vi­enna Convention, all a<:cred­ited foreign missions and staff have to respect the laws of the country they are in and so the Labour Act will apply.

Witbooi promised "employee complaints will be dealt with firmly along the relevant offi­cial channels".

Planning has begun on how to make the new laws effective as soon as possible, and unions and employers are already being asked about suitable candidates to be Labour Commissioner. Support staff, a Labour Advi­sory Council and a Wages Commission are also being identified and training is being prepared. The ministry is get­ting ready to circulate pam­phlets in simple tenns and various languages detailing the main provisions of the labour code . .

OFFICIALS at the South African representative's of- . flee in Windhoek have two polling booths and 2 500 ballot papers ready for vot­ers to cast special referen­dum votes today and tomor­row, a senior official said yesterday.

"It's difficult to say how many people to expect, but I doubt it

Witbooi rejected the sugges­tion made by some speakers that smaller employers, expe­cially in the communal areas, could not afford to follow the code. ''The experience of the past has shown that it is often precisely those smaller employ­ers who regularly exploit their employees - a state of affairs which is inexcusable and can­not be tolerated. " He said both ministry officials and employ­ers' organisations should help small businesses meet the conditions.

He also rejected the claim that foreign investors would be put off.

''The Labour Bill will create the basic frameworlc for a sound, predictable labour regime and will contribute to the develop­ment of a satisfied, reliable, skilled and motivated workforce.·

"Potential investor countries and entrepreneurs will be reas­sured by the existence cif (a labour law) which sets the ground rules for stable indus-

will be more than 2 500," said assistant representative Hein­rich Grethe. He said staff at the Windhoek office were handling arrangements for balloting but could co-opt help if the need arose.

"We'll start off with two polling booths and can provide more if necessary," he said, adding there had been many inquiries about the referendum,

trial relations. I can confidently assert that the Labour Bill has the potential to contribute positively to a more favour­able investor climate in our country."

Witbooi could only say that a bill on employment security, which will explain how l11ater­nity leave is to be paid, will be tabled "at the earliest opportu-

' nity". He added that the sug­gestions in the bill conform to international standards and doubted whether traditional attitudes towards fertility and . marriage would undermine the new provisions.

Detailed health and safety regulations are still to be de­veloped and Witbooi added that some sections of the new bill may be delayed. For instance the existing Factory Ordinance of 1952 may stay in force until the new laws are in place.

Training was one vital issue not in the bill, added Witbooi and modem and separate laws are being prepared to replace the only law on training, the outmoded Apprenticeship Ordinance of 1938.

"For some time now, we have been studying the viability of various routes and destinations," said Petch. ''The results .. show a service between Windhoek and London is a viable proposition."

The new non-stop flight will depart from Windhoek each Sunday arriving in London on Monday; The retum flight will leave London later the same day, arriving back in Windhoek on Tuesday. This ha~ been scheduled in order to provide convenient flight connections to other destinations.

Petch said in addition to this non-stop service to London, Air Namibia would also extend its Wednesday flight to Frankfurt, through to London.

Paris calling designers LOCAL fashion designers have just over a month to get together and submit a joint entry to a French interna­.tional competition to be staged in Paris in December.

If Namibia wants to com­pete, a national conunittee must be formed and five to 10 local designers chosen before the committee submits a national application - deadline April 15.

The competition is organ­ized l,y Air France, linked to Paris-Windhoek airline UTA, and a French fashion associa­tion under the sponsorship of the French Ministry of Culture and ConmlUnication.

It aims to stimulate creativ­ity and increase exchanges

between countries and could provide a good international cat-walk for Namibia' s fash­ion designers.

The theme will be to use our historical, cultural and artistic background as inspiration in designing a suit which could be aimed at a party, dancing, Christmas or birthday, or sim­ply be a dress suit. Eachcandi­date must design her or his own model.

The judges will be famous fashion designers, presided by

M Mouclier, the chair of the French federation of fashion.

There will be a first, silver and brass prize as well as a top prize for each country.

Colour drawings and appli­cations which the countries have selected must be sent in by .the latest by November 30. Pat­terns themselves must go to a Paris college called the Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale by December '12, with airfreight instructions to be given later.

* For more details contact the UTA/Air France office in Windhoek's Sanlam Centre on Independence Avenue or ring (061) 227688.

N am.ibian , pre-prep teachers go back to school at Arandis

Twenty-five teachers from pre-primary schools all over Namibia will benefit from a second Early Learning Training Course being presented under the auspices of Rossing Uranium at Arandis this week.

All participants attended the previous training session in April1ast year - the first of its kind presented in Namibia.

The course is aimed at pro­viding pre-school teachers with the skills to enhance the social, physical and mental capabili­ties of children in the 3-6 age group.

Lucy Lester, Pre-school Development Co-ordinator at Arandis, said the course had a unique approach ideally suited

to African conditions , in that teachers learn to improvise.

'They are taught to make their own educational equipment for children by using things from their immediate surroundings.

The Arandis Early Learning Training Course was made pos­sible through sponsorsh.i.ps by the Canadian High Commis­sion, rh! British Council, Unicef and Avis Rent-a-Car.

The course, which started on Monday and ends on Fri-

day, is led by two trainers from the Early Learning Resource Unit in Lansdowne in the Cape, assisted by two teachers from Arandis.

Savings boom. in Owatnbo TOM MINNEY

SAVINGS are booming in northern Namibia as money hoarded by the businesslike villagers comes out from . under mattresses and is turned into bank deposits and business loans.

Credit unions, a network of savings clubs, are behind the switch. and recently iD Owambo credit union league organizers were swamped with the re­sponse to their call to start saving and borrowing.

According to Sophy Shang­ingtia, a promoter with the Namibia Creidt Union League, there are now 10 credit unions around Oshakati and Ondan­'gua With several more going through the preparation stages. She and fellow orgl!Jliser Clif­ford Katuuo found a warm welcome from regional com­missioner Silvanus Vatuva, community development work­ers and traditional leaders.

The tour was for two-and-a­half weeks and ended last week It aimed to concentrate within a 45 kilometre radius of Os­haka,ti, although the organisers also travelled to Ruacana in a

bid to meet groups there. An office is now open in Oshakati, with a regional field worker Maria Aludhiulu, there although the formal opening has not been staged yet.

As part of a decentralization programme, a regional 'com­mittee of six local credit union members has now been formed. This will deal with most local problems and devise lending and other policies, only refer­ring to head office in Wind­hoek when serious problems cannot be solved locally.

Credit unions are savings clubs, formed between groups of people who trust each other and share common bonds, for instance through working in the same place or living as neighbours. To form a group, the people learn about bow credit unions work - and they are a "world-wide network of sav-

But news of acut incar sales tax boosted car distributors . . News of a restrained rise in alcohol duty, in line with infla­tion, helped brewers.

Major car distributors rose strongly after Lamont proposed expanded capital allowances for companies that buy cars for employees, as well as a cut in car sales tax to 5.0 pet from

ings and loan organizations -and !ren prepare and start saving for some three months before the group is formally launched.

Members encourage each other and save money together each month, even if it is only R2 or RlO. The combined savings are deposited in a bank. If they need money, they can apply to the group for a loan which is often related to how much they have saved with the group. 'Shaningua said the oldest group in the North is Onghui­dana Iwa ("good news"), an association of market women that so far has some R6 000 in the bank and several members are now borrowing for stock to sell or to buy sewing machines and other goods. Other mem­bers borrow to buy school uniforms and other needs.

The other credit unions are now established at Ekamba, Omusimboti, Ehafo, Akweenyaga, Freedom (also a business-related group), Ntuli, Onkambya, Elyambala and Oniimwandi. Teachers and other groups are in the early stages of forming new unions.

Laughame said moves to cut betting duty by 0.2~ pet to 7.75 and measures to help horse and dog racing could win votes in some key marginal seats . .

Good news for the car in­dustry may also boost the Conservative's standing in the Midlands where the industry is heavily based, he said.

The only possibly worrying element of the budget was Lamont's higher-tilan-expected 28 billion sterling forecast for the 1992/93 Public Sector Borrowing Requirment of said Laugharne.

Forecasts for the 1992/93 PSBR had ranged from 24 bil­lion sterling to 30 billion at the top end.

Shares and sterling dipped nervously when the PSBR was announced but stocks recov­ered as late rises in car and drinks stocks pushed the FI'SE 100 Index to fresh session highs.

The March FTSE future contract contract closed at around a ten point premium to cash. but well below earlier highs. In after hours trade it slipped further to 2,579 by 1710 GMT.

Clergy slam Malawi's human rights record

LUSAKA, Zambia: Church leaders have lashed out at the Malawi govern· ment's human rights rec· · ord and demanded multi­party democracy in an unusual letter distributed across the country.

~ message accuses the state of banning academic freedom, muzzling the media and dis­criminating against people who

do not belong to the ruling Malawi Congress Party.

The letter from six bishops representing the main· Chris­tian churches in Malawi marks an extraordinary show of op­position to the government of Kamuzu Banda, who declared himself president-for-life af~ • ter leading Malawi toinde­pendence in 1964. Banda has outlawed opposition political parties, d.<ltained or exiled crit-

ics, and banned open criticism of the state.

A total of 16 000 copies of the five-page message were handed out Sunclay at churches in Malawi.

The attack came a week ater the human rights group Am­nesty Intemational accused Malawi authorities of tortur­ing and ~tarving prisoners to death. The government denied the allegations. - AP

Vrou geboei deu,(versekeringseis ELSA Louw, het besluit sy het genoeg gehad van 'n versekeringsmaatskappy wat nie haar eis wil uitbetaal Die en gister in protes haar plaas gaan neem op een van die stoele in die ontvangsportaal van Santam. Sy het haarself aan 'n stoel geboei en gesweer sy sal dit Die verlaat voor daarDie aandag aan haar eis gegee word nie.

'Louw se daar was verlede jaar 'n inbraak by haar huis waarin byna al haar persoon­like besittings sowel as winkelvoorraad gesteel is. Haar eis vir persoonlike besittings is reed~ uitbetaal rnaar Santam betwis haar verdere eis van ongeveer R50 000 aan winkelvoorraad vanhaar besi­gheid American Flair.

Alwyn de Koclc, namens Srntam, het gister gese die maatskappy kon nie Louw se eis uitbetaal nie weens 'n tekort aan bewyse dat Louw wel op die tydstip van die diefstal oor al die voorraad in die eis beskik het.

ARBEIDSMINISTER Hendrik Witbooi het gis­ter in die parlement gese politici kan ook hul ar­beidsbelange beskenn deur 'n vakbond te vorm en lede daarvan te word. Witbooi het reageer op 'n vraag vroeer in die parlement dat die belange van po­litiei nie in die arbeidskode beskerm word nie.

Hy se indien politici huIle belange wil beskerm maak die arbeidskode daarvoor voorsien­ing dat hulle 'n vakbond kan vorm wat oor die meerdemeid van lede in die betrokke beroep beskik om na hul belange te kyk. Op hierdie oomblik be­teken dit Swapo as die meer­derheid moet die belange van politici in die parlement bes­kerm as vakbond.

Witbooi het gister reageer op opmerkings wat in die tweedelesingsdebat oor die arbeidskode gemaak is.

Hy se die bewering dat die arbeidskode moontlik beleggers

Louw voer egter aan sy het bewyse tot 'n totaal van R70 ()()() gelewer in die vorm van kwitansies. Sy kan egter nie vir die volle bedrag eis nie aangesien die goedere on­derverseker was. De Kock voer egter aan die maatskappy wil kwitansies he van 'n tydstip onmiddelik voor die inbraak.

'n Ooatbanldike assessor, Ted Scbnepel, is vir die ondersoek ingebring en sy bevindings voer aan dat Louw slegs oor ongev­eer R9 ()()() aan voorraad op die tydstip beskik het. Louw be­twyfel ook die geloofwaar­digheid van Scbnepel se on­dersoek omdat sy aan die eer-

kan afskrik is onhoudbaar aangesien juis die afwesigheid daarvan beleggers kan afskrik. Die arbeidskode bied 'n voorspelbare en sekere beleg­gingsomgewing aan wat bel­eggers behoort aan te moedig om in die land te bele.

'nAnderinteressante bepal­ing van die kode is dat \Verl<gew­ers wat vinnig besig is om van werkers ontslae te raak voor die kode in werking kom dit om dowe neute doen. Indien die arbeidskode in werking kom sal dit ses maande voor die datum van inwerkingtreding geldig woos wat beteken afdank:­ings in die laaste paar maande sal hanteer word asof dit onder die kode geskied het.

Oor die kwessie van vakunies wat verbintenisse met politieke part ye het, se Witbooi, dit vir die unies om te hesluit op watter wyse hul belange die beste gedien word.

Indien hulle vool hul belange word beter gedien sonder af­filiasie aan 'n politieke party staan dit hul vry om so te doen.

Ge tuienis verdiep in'm.oordverhoor

BALLISTIESE getuienis oor 'n voorval waarin 'njong seun verlede jaar in die omgewing van Rehoboth doodgeskiet is, is gister in die Windhoekse Hoogger­egshof gelewer. Fifi Hundt, 'n ballistiese deskundige, wat gister getuienis gel ewer het, het aangevoer hy het nie die volle saritewerking van die drie beskuldigdes in die saak gekry tydens sy ondersoek nie.

Drie Namibiese soldate, Simon Ananias, Stephanus Matheus LM:arus en Andreas Abed, word dahlVan beskuldig dat hulle op 28 September verlede jaar die dood van Pre­margo Dunn veroorsaak het toe hul op die voertuig waarin hy met vier ander gereis het, geskiet het. Die drie mans staan ook tereg op vier klagte van poging tot moord. Die staat voer aan dat hul by dieselfde geleentheid probeer het om David Swartz, Jakob Engel­brecht, Willem Beukes en Barney van Wyk te vermoor deur op hul te skiet.

Hundt het getuig dat hy in

sy ondersoek gebruik gemaak het van 'n AKM en 'n AK-47 aanvalsgeweer. Dit is nie bek­end watter tipe geweer in die aanval gebruik is nie.

Ingewikkelde getuienis oor die aantal koeels wat tydens die geleentheid gevuur is en van waar al die koeels gevuur was is gister in die hoogger­egshof gelewer.

Na bewering is daar sewe ' skote tydens die aanval afgevuur maar slegs twee patroon­doppies is op -die tonee! opgetel.

Hundt het getuig dat hy kan bewys lewer van ten minste drie koeels wat die motor van

baarheid van Schnepel twyfel weens voorvalle in' 'die ver- , lede.

Louw se besigheid het weens die diefstal insolvent geraak en die meeste skuldeisers eis nou betaling vir goedere ge­lewer. Sy kan dit egter nie betaal al'l4orens die versekeringseis uitbetaal word nie.

Louw het gister omstreeks 121130 by ,die kantore van Santam op die sesde vloer in die Bank Windhoek-gebou in Onafhanklikheid slaan opgedaag waar sy haar onmid­delik met 'n handboei aan een van die stoele in die ontvang­sportaal vasgemaak het.

Die hoofbestuurder van SantaIh was op die stadium nie op kantoor nie rnaar sy is later in die dag deur De Kock te woord gestaan en uit die gesprek is ooreengekom sy moot vandag terugkeer" wanneer die saak verder bespreek sal word.

Eisa Louw, gister: .in die kantore van 'n plaaslike versek~ringsIl}aatskaPpy:;,~aar sy protes aangeteken het teen 'n vet sekeringseis wat nie wil betaal'nie.

,Brief oor behuising kry steun DIE bewering dat staatshuise binnekort aan die be:won­ers daarvan verkoop kan word is moontlil( die vlieg in die salf van die behuisingsbeleid op Keetmanshoop. 'n Sterk gerug doen die rondte dat staatshuise leeg gehou word om aan bevoorregte persone toegeken le word sodat hulle later die opsie op die huise kan he. ,

Meer as twee senior staatsamptenare op Keetman­shoop het die bewerings beves­tig wat verlede week in 'n brief in hier:.rl!e lLoerant gemaak is. Die brief het gehandel oor die wysewaarop staatshuise op die dorp toegeken word en dat voorkeur aan sekere bevolk­ingsgroepe gegee word by die toekkenning van huise.

Die amptenare se die brief is 'n getroue weerspieeling van wat op die dorp gebeur met persone wat om staatsbelruising' aansoek doen.

Die meeste van hulle se, dit het tyd geword dat die Minis­terie van Werke 'n indringende ondersoek na die aangeleen­theid moet loods of dat die kantoor van die streekskom­missaris insae moet kry in die dpen en late van die Ministerie van Werke op die dorp.

Daar is bewerings dat som­mige van die huise deur per" sone bewoon word wat nie vir die staatsdiens werk nie. 'n Persoon wat nie meer in die staatsdiens werksaam was nie is slegs verlede week gevra om die huis wat hy bewoon het te ontruim.

buite binnegedring het omdat hy die plekke waar die koeels die motor binnegegaan het en uitgegaan het kon vind.

Daar was nog twee ander skote afgevuur waarvan die plek waar hul die voertuig bin­negegaan het nie gevind ' is nie.

Die grootste gedeelte van die namiddag se getuienis is in beslag geneem deur vrae van die verdediging.

Louis Skweyiya(SC) van Durban wat in opdrag van Karuaihe en Conradie optree wou weet waarvandaan die twee skote kom en waarom daar slegs twee pat:-oon­doppies op die toneel gevind is.

Die getuienes was van 'n uiters tegniese natuur en Hundt hef aangevoer dat dit moontlik was dat die patroondoppies yerwyder is aangesien plan­soldate in die verlede opgelei

Die Ministerie van Werke op Keetmanshoop het gister gevra vir enige persoon wat weet van persone wat onwettig in staatshuise om onmiddelik met hul in verbinding te tree sodat die aangeleentheid on- , dersoek kan word.

Een van die amptenare noem die geval~van 'n ander reger­ingsamptenaar wat Keetman­shoop moes verlaat na hy daar­heen oorgeplaas is maar nie daarin kon slaag om behuising op die dorp te verkry nie.

,'\mptenare word frustreer deur die nie-toekenning van behuising op die dorp en moet wanneer hulle daar aanland losies soek by ander f~ie of kennisse in Tseiblaagte of ander woonbuurte van Keetman­shoop.

Die Ministerie van Werke was gister nie bereid om 'nlys te voorsien waarop die bewon­ers van staatshuise met hul de­partemente verskyn nie.

Een van die senior ampte­nare, wat om verstaanbare redes anoniem moet bly, het ook telkemale probeer om die lys in die hande te kry maar dit is die male geweier.

is omhul patroondoppies op te tel na 'n aanval.

Die drie mans het in 'n vroeere verhoor aangevoer dat hul nie van plan was om Dunn dood te skiet nie. In pleitverduidelik­ing het hul gese, hulle is op die plaas Tweerivier in die omge­wing van Rehoboth ontplooi om bewegings te monitor.

Daar was op die tyd sprake van gewapende teenstand teen die regering en die betrokke dag het daar vrese bestaan dat gevaarlilce waperis in die omgewing vervoer sou word.

Hulle het ,aangevoer dat hulle hul dienste in goeder trou en in opdrag van hul wettige meer­deres in die woormag uitgevoer het. '

Die saak duur vandag voor Regter Strydom en twee asses ore, Enid Keramen en Pio Teek, voort. Kato van Niekerk verskyn vir die Slaal.

Aussies in ' crucial cup tie PERTH: Defending champion Australia faces Pakistan in a World Cup match at the W ACA Ground today that will see the loser bow out of semifinal contention.

Australia has only four points from its five matches to date, while Pakistan has just three.

Both teams ru'e convinced they can win all of their re~ maining matches and squeeze into the semis.

"Both teams can produce great performances," said

_ ...-.l?aid.stan captain Imran Khan. "The team that can absorb

the pressure in the difficult cir­cumstances that both sides are in will most likely be victori­ous."

Pakistan has been plagued by injuries throughout the tour­nament and lost strike bowler Waqar Younis before a ball had been bowled.

Imran said last night that he and batsmen J aved Miandad and Rameez Raja hoped to defy various ailments and face the

Australians. 'There is no use in us being

fit later in the tomnament when it might not matter," lIman said.

Imran and Rameez continue to battle the discomfort of shoul­der complaints, while Mian­dad has suffered an energy­sapping stomach virus for the past week.

"We will have to field play­ers who are not fit," Imran said. "It won't be the firsttime - Ihaven't been fit at any stage of this tour.

"But we need a player Rameez because he is a potential cen­tury-maker in this tournament.

"I hope he will be fit, but we'll have to play hiin any­way."

"It couldn't have come at a worse time because I was feel­ingconfident before this tour."

Chiefs~tnt~(w~~wt>.. all cylinders today JOHANNESBURG: Kaizer Chiefs will be at full strength and firing on all cylinders when they meet Pretoria City in their Castle League soccer showdown at Tembisa today. Kick-ofT is at 4pm.

That was the promise made yesterday by Chiefs PRO Louis Tshakoane who conceded that the League champions had not shown their best form thi s season but added that he be­lieved that now was the time for Chiefs to strike form.

"We are looking for a big improvement and with a parti­san 20 000 crowd behind us, City could be on the wrong side of a bad hiding," said Tshakoane.

But City 's managing direc­tor Ingle Singh had other ideas: "We will be ou t to show Chiefs up and teach them a lesson."

Easier said than done. City will be minu s J ackie J afta who is ill and defender Tavner Hartze who is suspended.

City will rely on guts and a large slice ofluck against their more polished opponents. Chiefs strikers Fanie Madida and Shane MacGregor are due for a big score and a lot will rest on City goalkeeper Deshi Baktawer's broad shoulders.

The match was due to be played earlier this season but postponed due to Chiefs in­volvement in the BP Top Eight competition which they even­tually won.

Both Chiefs and City will be in action again on Saturday. The APlakhosi host Manning Rangers at the Ceorge Goerge Stadium while City play high flying Moroka Swallows at Ellis Park.

." r~

and Sport Pendukeni Ithana at the Katutura Stadium on Sat­urday.

The two-day long .congress which was held at the Buitelug Skool at Brakwaterto examine and identify the problems sur­rounding football in Namibia, was a brain child of the Sports Ministry.

The Sports Ministry recog­nising soccer as the national sport of this country and irri­tated by the incompetance of the previous NFA Executive Committee, held a soccer seminar at the ministry a few weeks ago.

It was unanimously decided at the seminar, which was ad­dressed by Prime Minister Rage Geingob on February 10, that an Extraordinary Congress would be held to address the problems of our game.

"A number of constitutional changes were adopted aiming

. at creating effective admini­stration, organisations and representation for the game throughout the country," Kau­raisa said.

Kauraisa asserted ' that the - regions will be increased from

fIve to fIfteen "to enable the administrators to have proper and effective contrQI over their regions."

"A National Executive, which will take care of the day to day running of the Football Asso­ciation, will replace the pres­em Emergency Committee with a governing, council - consist­ing of regions, National Ex-

ecutive members and Premier League representatives meet­ing twice a month, replacing the Executive Committee," Kauraisa added.

The Interim Committee will prepare and draft the amended constitution; set up the new structure as suggested by the Extraordinary Congress and provide guidance; organise the Annual Congress by not later than the end of May and raise funds for the association.

The full members of the In­terim Committee are as fol­lows:

Charles Kauraisa (chairper~ son), Shafimana Ueitele, Ben Naobeb, Bonny Mokatu, Ste­ven Stephanus, Hendrik Chris­tian, Eliphas Sbipanga and Brian Black.

* Meanwhile, Hendrlck Christian - chairperson of the Premier League Steering Com­mittee, has infonned the Namibian Sport that all Pre-

mier League teams are asked to send two representatives to the league's meeting at Kar­ibib on Saturday when ar Executive Committee will be elected.

"1 would like to call upon all 14 Premier League teams to send two representatives for the weekend's meeting at Karibib were we are planning to elect the new committee of the Premiere League," Chris­tian said.

The meeting is scheduled for 10hOO at the new soccer complex at Karibib.

All the following teams are asked to be present:

African Stars, Afrox Chal­lengers, Eleven Arrows, BS Tigers, Civics, Interatlantic Blue Waters, Nashua Black Africa, Nampol FC, Prime Press Liv­erpool, Ramblers, Robber Chanties, Sarusas Orlando Pirates, SW A Toyota Young Ones and TCL Chief Santos.

BUT SERIOUSLY, .. Sports Minister Pendukeni Ithana during one of her tough speeches against the present poor administration of the country's football.
