BY qWEN LlSTER __,

A RECENT PRONOUNCEMENT by the interim government Minister of Justice, Mr Fanuel Kozonguizi, that the 'government of today may become the guerrillas of tomorrow' gives a chilling premonition of the potential situation in a'Post-independent Namibia, unless the word 'race' is scrapped from our vocabulary. Moreover it makes absolute nonsense of any claims to 'democratic rule' by the present interim government, either now or in the future.

DEPENDENCE ON SOUTH AFRICAN ARMED FORCES

MR KOZONGUIZI acknowledged the dependence of the present interim government on the South African armed forces, also justifying their lack of mandate.by saying that 'there is no government in Africa' whose ex- istence depended on the ballot box. . Mr Kozonguizi may be correct in his analysis of African politics, but does this justify a similar situation in Namibia? Surely we are big enough to learn from the mistakes of the past and prevent their recurrence in . the future? If a free and fair election is held in Namibia, supervised by the United Nations and electing.a constituent assembly to draw up a constitution for the territory, imd the people are at long last granted their right to self-determination, why should there be a need for any party to take up arms agailist the rest? In my view, there is absolutely no j ustification for such an attitude, but unfortunately, rather than discouraged, this view is fuelled by anti­ Swapo forces .

. ARMED STRUGGLE FOR ELECTORAL LOSERS

'THE INTERNAL parties don't want us to let go until they have suffi­ cient power to control the situation' ; were the words of South African Foreign Affairs Minister Roelof Botha at the Pretoria meeting with Dr Chester Crocker, US Under Secretary of State for African Affairs, on April 15 and 16 1981. He added that 'Ovambo dominance after the election would lead to civil war' . And again at the same meeting South African Defence Minister Magnus Malan said 'the longer it takes to solve the Namibia question, the less South African presence will be required there. We will reach a stage where internal forces in Namibia can militarily defeat Swapo'. The South African GQvernment, the US Government and interim a period of im­ Africa.
