'NTiMiDAT,od~ On the 'secret' UN reports

WE are disappointed to hear that the report by the United Nations police commissioner Steven Fanning, is to be kept 'secret'. We believe that it is in the interests of aU for the contents to be made public and not merely shared between the South African Administrator General and UN Special Representative. We believe that the process 'free and fair' should be adhered to in all respects. Therefore it is only right that the voting public be informed as much as possible of the outcomes of UN investigations into any form of irregularity. That, after aU, is tbeir role. These incidents will be reported, when they occur, in the loclli press in one form or another. There will be conflicting views. T~re has to be a mediator, and the UN have taken upon tbemselves tbis role. So tbey must carry it out. If intimidation exists, it must be exposed. The Namibian therefore joins tbe request for an independent commission of inquiry into the circumstances leading to tbe start of tbe war. Tbis commission must be composed of jurists and make public its findings for all to see. Not a fine educational example

THIS newspaper was distressed to learn of alleged occurrences at tbe Paresis Secondary School in Otjiwarongo wbere a female scbool pupil was subject to several canings by the headmaster. Corporal punishment in scbools is not commendable, and even less so the caning of a female pupil for having stayed out of scbool for one day in support of a Nanso boycott call. Tbe Department of National Education bas been consistently accused of a 'bantu-education' approacb, and the news of lasbings meted out to female pupils can only furtber damage its already tarnisbed reputation. Tbe Department sbould immediately institute an inquiry into the incident and take action against those teachers indulging in these sort of actions against pupils. We are also surprised at the attitude of the Scbool Committee, whicb reportedly upheld the decision to cane a male pupil, giving him the choice to take the lasbings or leave tbe school. An educational system wbich makes use of corporal punishment to achieve its objectives, can only fail.

By setting up a commission to investigate abuses and explain why they happened, the government hopes that the country will be helped to come to terms with its past. In addition, reports Gemini News Service, the commission will recommend ways of preventing such violations happening again - which makes its work of international interest. BY DANIEL NELSON
