ACADEMY ADF 8 Friday July 17 1987 THE NAMIBIAN LOTS OF ALLOCATIONS FOR THE SOCALLED 'SECRET SERVICES' AT A ROUGH.glance, the 1987/8 budget of interim government Finance Minister, Mr Dirk Mudge, provides for a total amount of about R7 and a half million for so called 'secret services'. The new Department of National Intelligence has a budget ofR4 582 000; the Security Secretariat sub-division of the Governmental Affairs vote, R544 300; R1200 000 of the Defence budget ofR191 974 000 is provided for 'secret services'; and similarly R1400 000 of the Police budget ofR136 000 000 pro­ vides for 'secret services'. These are the amounts for 'secret services' immediately discernible in the budget, but there are undoubtedly other 'hidden' proVisions for similar items. The budgetary allocations for 'secret services' are in keeping with Mr Mudge's statement in his budget speech this week that of cardinal importance was the issue of "the necessity for maintaining law and order". An amount of R4 107 200 provided for the 'Transitional government' in the Governmental Affairs Vote, which includes an allowance of RIO 000 for the Administrator General's expenditure. In the National Education Vote, the SW A Broadcasting Corporation gets an amount of R31 850 000. It is not known where the approximate R4-million for the 'promotion of the image' ofthe interim government allotted to Mr Sean Cleary of Transcon- . tinental Consultancy, is hidden in the budget. A new sub-division of the Justice Vote, provides for an amount of R137 800 to the Ombudsman; and in the subdivision Local Authorities Services of the Governmental Affairs Vote, R690 000 is provided for the "evacuation of the Katutura Hostel".

THE DISINFORMATION campaign was once again highlighted this week with statements by the Commanding Officer of the SWATF branch of t he SADF, who referred to Swapo and alleged 'front organisations', which he said included the Council of Churches in Namibia and the Namibia National Students Organisation (NAN­ SO). Apart from meddling in the internal politics of the country, which is not his brief at all, General Meyer once again dragged out the tired old slogans of 'communism' and 'revolution' in reference to Swapo, thereby inviting further polarisation in a country whose THE EVANGELICAL Lutheran Church in Berseba where police this week fired teargas and rubber bullets to disperse a appointed government claims that 'reconciliation' is its main aim. group of people gathered for the official opening of a private school.

So since they spend so much money and time on 'propaganda' and 'front organisations' of their own, why aren't the interim govern­ ment and its various mouthpieces succeeding? Why isn't there court case after court case against an instance such as The Namibian, which has, in a period of nearly two years, car­ ried reports of security force atrocities for instance, in virtually every edition?

In dealing with the mouthpieces and propaganda organs of the in­ terim government ; we have not yet even mentioned their 'front ' organisations, such as Etango, Ezuva, and a myriad of others, even in the field of trade unionism, in an attempt to stifle the true will and wishes of the population of Namibia. There is no doubt that war on 'propaganda' in this country in an attempt to bestow some sort of credibility on the South African­ appointed interim government, has already been lost. The people are no longer susceptible to the disinformation; the 'hearts and minds campaign', which is the ultimate aim of the propaganda war, has been a gross and utter failure. General Meyer may say that the broad masses ofthe people of this country are "totally uninvolved and unaware" of the "revolutionary onslaught" , and he is right. Because in their opinion, there is no onslaught, at least not from the "communists". They are aware that the onslaught comes from the south, and embraces all aspects of life BISHOP HENDRIK FREDERICKS ofthe ELC leads a delegation of church officials into the church after the church gates in this cotlntry. were found locked, apparently by groups loyal to Chief Isaaks who is opposed to the private school. .

The importance of most of these inquiries cannot be overemphasised: in many cases the lives of people ar e at stake. The newspaper's primary task is to inform the public: if police and army do not assist in working tewards this end, then there is little purpose in liaison. They too are under obligation to improve their internal channels of communica­ tion, and to liaise with one another on these matters if necessary. Police in particular, are responsible for the protec­ tion of the people and it is their duty to take up matters where human rights violations occur.

THE ELDERS, church oficials and residents listen attentively as the issue of the private school and the confrontation at the church is debated. In the centre with glasses is Chief Stephanus Goliath.

/ ENERGY IN PLANTS and animals comes ultimately from the energy in the sun. Now if, on a cold morning, you stand outside facing the sun, you feel the sun warming your body. Here your body is getting energy directly from the sun. The sun in fact keeps the whole earth warm; without the sun, the earth would be too cold for life.

However, you could stand all day in the sun, and unless.Jou ate food, you ' would get hungry - the sun cannot fee d you. Th put this another way, your body cannot directly use energy from the sun to build up energy storing molecules. It is different with plants. Green plants use light energy from the sun to build up energy rich molecules (glucose) - i.e. to build up food molecules. Plants then, obtain their energy from the sun. Where do animals get their energy (apart from being warm­ ed by the sun)? The answer is simple. Animals get their energy from plants. For animals either eat plants (thus get­ ting energy direct from plants), or they • eat other animals that eat plants" or RAl»ATION : &clI'nrnCil 'Yays X-'Yo.ys UV 1"fu"fe'/ \Q.a 010 0 VVeolve. they eat animals that eat animals that eat plants!

Super League Log

THE NNSL Super League Log this week shows a slight change despite no matches having been played last weekend. An earlier match in the League between Chelsea and Life Fighters, was last week omitted from the table. The match played a month ago resulted in a three-all draw, which means that both clubs have now completed their commitments for the first half of the League. FORESTA NICODEMUS powering his way toward scoring another goal for Novel Ford League Cup contenders Tigers FC. Nicodemus's ball skills have been thrilling Namibian crowds for the past three years and have led to many suggesting he further his career overseas. He has all the attributes to make it in the big time but it , THE LATEST positions in the NNSL League, are, under is unlikely that Tigers will let their star striker go. Liverpool have signed John Barnes and Peter Beardsley recently to replace Ian Rush. Maybe they should have signed Foresta - a player with more potential does not exist.

The only way that can be achiev­ ed, is to beat the Springboks on their home turf. The rebel New Zealand Cavaliers, which many considered to be 95% test strength, tried but were soundly defeated 3 - 1 in the test series. With politics playing such a large role where tours to South Africa are concerned, it is understandable that officials are keeping mum on the issue. But news reports from Australasia through South Mrica to Britain have all but confirmed a tour is in the offing.
