LITICI\l. N anso activist PERSPECTIVEby Gwen Lister speaks out on ONE hopes that the combination of Namibia's self-determination and imminent independence and the somewhat belated concessions that have been made inside South Africa itself, will mean that the days students' role of destabilisation in Southern Africa, are over. Yet there are some disturbing signs. One is the increased number of ex-security force members from Namibia who have gone to join Uoita, and another is the many disgruntled members of the security forces who have returned to South Africa, seething with anger about the fact that a Swapo government has come to power legitimately in this country.

THE reportedly large number of former Koevoet members in Unita is worrying, primarily because that bandit group is too close to the Namibian border for comfort. While the present of THE NAMIBIAN: Mr you single out as the major event Shihwameni where did you go to organised by Nanso in the past five former counter~insurgency fighters in Unita may in itself not be school and what sparked your in­ yeats?

Hard to believe, but these are the words of none other than Piet Venter, the Director General of the SWA Broadcasting Corporation: In what was referred to as a 'Statement of Intent', Mr Venter, right-wing head of the Corporation which was responsible for as much, if not more, anti-Swapo propaganda under his rule thail either the colonial police or army, made a political volte face which is sickening in its opportunism. He went on, in his highly-publicised address, to make the following claims: ... tfiat the Corporation is "sensitive to the need"s of the state and the nation"; ..
