AT LAST someone has publicly called for the UN to take a tougher stance in its task of monitoring the election process in Namibia. The UN itself seems to have whittled down its Involvement In this process to mere 'observer' status; to the extent that one wonders whether they have a role at all. Attention was drawn to this fact by a visiting human rights lawyer and parliamentarian respectively this week. In a statement con­ cluding their visit to Namibia, they said that the UN must 'stand firm', and reminded the world body that its role was to supervise and not negotiate.

'WE EXPECTUntag to take a much tougher line In future' -sentiments which probably mirror those of a large section of the Namibian popula­ tion. Already too many occasions have arisen where the UN should have t voiced its views, but failed to do so. And while on the subject of Untag's role, it would appear that there Is some discrepancy between UN viewpoints as expressed respectively In both New York and Windhoek. From Windhoek, the view that Koevoet need not be confined to base; from New York a reminder that this should be the case. This is but one example. We also understand that for his part, the UN Secretary General, Mr Javier Perez de Cuellar, is concerned about developments In Namibia, and Is not unsympathetic to calls that he visit the country In order to reinfore the UN's position, and help re-establish confidence in his people. However, we hear that Mr MarUi Ahtisaarl, his Special Representative, does not share these feelings and is 'clinging to his turf', in the words of some. After all, UN peacekeeping forces did win the Nobel Peace Prize, and they must be concerned that it does not appear unjustified to the world at large. In a time where honesty and ope ness should be the name of the game, Journalists generally (and probably the public at large, too) are exasper­ ated with the UN's not entirely unskillful dodging abilities at media 'briefings'. Subterfuge should be entirely absent, or minimal at least, in a situation such as ours. The public at large are otherwise forced to conclude tbere is collusion between the UN and South Africa. Mr Ahtlsaarl himself should be vociferous in his condemnation of major incidents which have taken place since the implementation started on April l.1t Is certainly not expected of blm to comment on every case of ordinary intimidation, but I do think major events, such as school boycotts because ofKoevoet's continuing presence in the far north, may warrant a few words on his behalf. He could Indeed, be more v

IN response to demands by its employees Swavlels has agreed to open Its financial accounts for inspection with the result that the workers have agreed to end their three-week ban on overtime as a gesture of goodwill. Representing the workers the Namibia Food and Allied Union yesterday said that the workers also wished to express their satisfaction at Swavlels' willingness to Immediately start talks on signing a recognition agreement. The Chairman of the NAFAU Shop Stewards Committee at Swavleis, J Bazuwara, said that the company response had been a victory for the spirit of unity among the workers. Mr Bazuwara however said that before good Industrial relations could be built at Swavleis the company had to show a willingness to improve the harsh living conditions of the workers. The struggle for a living wage at Swavlels was continuing and had reached an advanced stage, he added.

Why the incessant delays?

IT HAS certainly become high time that Namibians seriously question the continued delay concerning the abolition ofremaining discriminatory, as well as repressive and draconian legislation, and the declaration of a general amnesty - all of which are prime factors blocking the return home of exiled Namibians. While this newspaper is in no way endeavouring to rush the relevant authorities into hurried and perhaps regrettable deci­ sions, surely those responsible can understand the frustrations of tens of thousands of exiled Namibians. It is the opinion of this newspaper that the present attitude of the South African Government on the one hand, and the United Nations on the other, whereby both parties are simply shifting the blame, has become unacceptable to the people of Namibia. It has also become obvious, and therefore inevitable, that tbis attitude tiy both the UN and SA, is creating among Namibians a feeling of virtual hopelessness regarding the peace plan. If action is not forthcoming, there is a strong chance that Namibians wiU lapse THE WAITING GAME - Namibian women play cards during a break from school at Nyango into the state of negative apathy and pessimism, which character­ settlement, a Swpao refugee camp in Zambia. ised the decade since the adoption of the settlement plan. Furthermore, the continued delay in putting into immediate action the provisions of the peace plan as agreed upon, could indeed culminate in what many Namibians fea r wiU happen; namely, the postponement of elections scheduled for the fi rst week of Nov em ber this year. The lime to postpone has passed; if there was a postpone­ ment at all, then it should have been on the date of the commence­ ment ofthe plan, April 1, which it was later proved. was a time when the UN were not ready to begin implementation. Groups of the opinion that the elections should be postponed, are already becoming vocal, and once again there appears to be some collusion on this point. Needless to say, such an eventuality could contain various serious im plications for the entire peace plan, given the past record of the South African government's notoriety in 'playing for time'. It would be regrettable if South Africa or any of its allies, were permitted to make most out of such a delay to rob the Namibian people of their long-denied right to self determination and nation­ hood. While this newspaper has understanding for the complexities of this issue (botb real or imagined) it wishes to emphasize that its priorities lie with in serving the interests of the Namibian people. We therefore call upon the relevant authorities to stop frustrating Namibians and to immediately repeal all discriminatory and re­ strictive legislation and grant an amnesty to facilitate the smooth return to Namibia of all those forced to flee their motherland precisely because of these and other repressive circumstances. Amnesty and repeal

UNLESS the repatriation of Namibian exiles and refugees was underway by the middle ofthe month the UN-supervised independ­ ence elections scheduled for early November could be delayed, a spokesman for" the office of the Administrator General, Mr Ger- hard Roux, said in Windhoek yesterday. " "Anything beyond mid June ... is going to gradually move from day to day to a phase where it may not be possible to meet the deadline (for the November election)" . He told a media briefing "considerable progress was noted" during "very fruitful discussions between Mr Louis Pienaar and Mr Martti Ahtisaari, on the amnesty legislation and repeal of discriminator and restrictive legislation holding up the repatriation of N amibians" . Mr h.oux said the situation in northern Namibia was "stable" and if the legislation was finalised, Mr Pienaar was prepared to receive the refugees back as soon as possible. According to the timetable for the implementation of the settlement plan, Namibian exiles and refugees should have started returning six weeks after the official start of the peace plan on April 1. By that date discriminatory and restrictive legislation should have been repealed and an amnesty in place clearing the way for refugees to come back. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST - SWAPO President, Sam Nujoma, pictured here making an address Heavy armed clashes broke out between members of Plan and security forces in Lusaka, Zambia. Mr Nujoma and the rest of the external Swapo leadership are due to return to on April I, resulting in a delay of a few weeks in the timetable. Namibia within the coming weeks, an amnesty and repeal of discriminatory legislationpermitting. Meanwhile, Untag spokesman Mr Fred Eckhard said on enquiry yesterday he was optimistic that the matter of a general amnesty and the scrapping oflaws could be concluded this week. He attributed the delay to "the complexity of the matter". "(The Administrator General's proposals) had to be sent to New York where Pictures taken t~MJ ~nj; ;~! ~uiPiglij~ they were reviewed by legal counsel to the Secretary-General," he said. "Subsequent to this, there were negotiations between Untag and South and JosephNekaya :"" of" the :" Africa, and between the Secretary-General's office and the South African mission in New York," added Mr Eckhard. He confinued that the proposals had now been returned to Windhoek, but Namibian Press Agency <(NaD;lP!J declined to comment on whether or not any alterations had been made. Mr Eckhard added that he expected to be able to announce a final round of negotiations today. ~" 18Friday June 2 1_ THE NAMIBIAN u cry over Ikakpottel
