FRIDAY March 14 1986 Time to account

ALTHOUGH THE commendable and courageous Thirion Report concentrated its fire on the actions and activities of Consolidated . Diamond Mines, the real blame for the scandal lies with the grossly incompetent State authorities who oversaw the rape of Nambia's NO BLACkS resources. GREENS The list of absurdities. that Thirion points out is simply . R£D5 grotesque. For example, the Secretary of the Diamond Soard, Mr Stanley BROWNS Jackson, who calculates the tens of millions of rands due, to the YELLOWS State from the Oranjemurid mine, is actually the Company Secretary of CDM. The Chief Inspector of Mines from 1979-82, Mr Grosser, was not even aware of vital provisions in the Halbscheid Agreement which placed a statutory obligation on CDM not to 'over-mine'. In the face of wholesale plunder, gross tax evasion and CDM's unique self-assessment tax policies (which must make us the laughing stock of Africa) where were the 'responsible white hands' of cen~ ral government? . Where was all the great w hite expertise? Where were the in­ dependent professional mining engineers to supervise the exploita­ tion of the mineral properties of the State? Instead of expertise we had apathy and incompetence. Instead of supervision, we had neglect and wanton irresponsiblity. Instead of professional revenue-gathering we. had bogus and semi­ fraudulent accounting.procedures to rob the Namibian people of their birthright. It is extremely lucky for the large number of civil servants con­ cerned that we do not live in what Western experts often describe as the 'chronically mismanaged' economies of the Eastern bloc, otherwise many of them would potentially face long terms of im­ prisonment and, a few, the firing squad. The real truth about what was going on in the mining industry was actually in voices of critics, at home and abroad, who warn­ ed time arid time again about the lack of supervision and the greedy rapacious policies of the multi-national companies. . The ultimate culprit in the end for this shocking and outrageous state of affairs is the South African government - originally man­ dated by the League of Nations to rule the people and re ~ ources of Namibia in 'sacred trust'. Dumeni on withdrawal of SA Medical Services from north Thirion's courageous exposure of the mining policies of the multi-nationals merely adds further urgency to the need to im­ plement UN Resolution 435 as soon as possible. Lodges protest at 'bad decision' In the meantime, the least the interim government can do is stop this awesome haemorrhage immediately. Not tommorrow, BISHOP KLEOPAS DUMENI, head of the Evangelical Lutheran Ovambo-Kavango Church not after a White Paper drawn up by the same people originally (ELOC), has reacted to the suspension of medical services.in the Ovambo-speaking area by the responsible for the disaster, but, today, now.

Bishop Dumeni emphasises that his criticism of the withdrawal of medical services should not be seen as a 'campaign in favour of the South African army doctors', but rather to lodge protest SUBSCRIBE TO at what he referred to as a 'bad and irresponsible decision' .
