So said Swapo's Joint Foreign Affairs Secretary, Mr Niko Bessinger, on the eve of Mr. P W Botha's visit to Namibia this week. In a statement reacting to the visit was 'divide and rule', also known as 'se­ by the top level South African delega­ cond tier governments' and division tion, Mr Bessinger added that "the sad along ethnic lines -in short, the under­ fact of the matter is that the colonial mining of national unity, the under­ master is coming here to ensure that mining of nationhood. the Namibian population remains "Namibians serving on second tier fragmentedand to further underscore the policy of separate development and 'to deliberately undermine the will of the majority of the people of the country". He said that socalled "protection of minority rights" was to become a ma­ jor issue on the agenda and would also \. be widely used in the media. But at the end of the day, Mr Bessinger con­ tinued, this catchphrase would only serve to confuse and create more ques­ tions, and in the end, serve the in­ terests of South African colonialism well. In the Namibian context, he added, 'minority' did not mean 'white', since the 'whites' constituted the second largest socio-political group in the country. In the Namibian context, he went on, 'minority' could only refer to Mr Niko Bessinger those whose interests were in seeing independence not realised for governments should ask themselves Namibia. why does the South African Govern­ Mr Bessinger said that often the col­ ment, whose motto 'Ex Unitate Vires' onial power referred to the 'right ofself­ (In Unity is Strength) insist on having determination' of the people of Namibians divided".

The woman, Mrs Esther Abed, said in a sworn state ~; lent that five SADF members arrived at her horne on March 29, this year, and looked for the store hut,' where they found several pots filled with horne brew. She said the soldiers first emptied the pots and left, to return a sp.ort while later, with two entering her home asking for water. "I showed them where the water was, to which they replied that the water was muddy, and they went straight back to the store hut where they drank some more of my brew;' . Mrs Abed said the soldiers then approached her, seized her baby and put it on the ground before they indecently assaulted her. "I tried to resist the men, but they overpowered me, and dragged me to another hut, where they repeatedly raped me. One held his hand over my mouth to pre- vent me from screaming." . "When they were satisfied, they went and washed their hands and private parts with my drinking water. They then went into my bedroom and stole R20 in cash out of my husband's jacket before leaving;' the woman said.

Police then took me to Onandjokwe Hospitil where doctors reinoved their semen;' "I then handed over the doctor's report to police who told me to get back to them the next day for a statement.

6 Friday April 8 1988 THE NAMIBIAN DANCING STAR CYNTHIA RHODES ARRIVES IN NAMIBIA BY LINDEN. BIRNS CYNTHIA RHODES, star of Dirty Dancing and Staying Alive, arrived in Walvis Bay last Thursday where she is featuring in a new film. Cynthia, 31, jetted out to the coastal town fresh from recor­ ding an album with her band Animotion, in her native Los Angeles. "I'm playing the part of the ambassador's -daughter in the movie Crystal Eye," said Cynthia after arriving at Walvis Bay b y Lear jet. She is no newcomer to the silver screen, and has worked alongside Sylvester Stallone, P atrick Swayze and was J ohn Tr avolta's leading lady in Staying Alive, the 1983 sequel to Saturday Night Fever. Sexy Cynthia is not just another pretty face, although it is very pretty I must add. She also boasts a fair singing voice and has notched up three hits over the last couple of years. Crystal Eye has been dubbed a remake of the legend Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and is being shot against the imposing backdrop of Dune 7 about ten kilometres east of WalVis Bay. The film and its production company, Alliance Pictures, have been the subject of rumours regarding unsound f"mances and a tempermental crew. Production guarantor, Richard Patterson, says that the rumours are unfounded. "If the director h a d walked off set, and if we were in finan­ cial difficulties, then we couldn't have st arted sh ooting, which began on Wednesday," he explained. .

"Instead of just looking at a scene or a'landscape around me, today I look more inward, an~ what I see have changed my life and perception of art," says Madisia. The artist has strong links with African art. "In short graphic art is the closest related medium I can use to express my feelings as an African:' he says. Lino, paperboard prints, pen and ink, slikscreen, colour pencil, graphite and oil monotype are all mediums used by Madisia. "Work· ing in all these mediums I think the chances are less offaIling into a medium trap;' Born in 1954 at Luderitz, Madisiafrrst put his artistic talent to use while working for Rossing Uranium when he created characters for the company's newsletter.

TALKS ABOUT TALKS AS' To be or not to be __ _ THE BATTLE ·RAGES IN CUITO CUANA VALE WHAT IS probably the biggest-scale battle ever fought in southern Afric'a has been going on for weeks around the Angolan town of Cuito Cuanavale.

Far from the madding crowd there's. a cultural oasis ... NOT FAR from the madding crowd of beer-swilling tourists can be found a cultural oasis. Swakopmund is not the most likely setting for radical art, but in an ordinary town house in ordinary Otavi Street is the Alternative Space, an art gallery which could prove to be a catalyst in Namibia's art revolution. Gallery organiser, architect Frenus Rorich said The aim was to escape conven­ tionallandscape art and provide Namibian art lovers with fresh and exciting work. And such work seems to be in demand if the Easter holiday is anything to go by, Rorich reporting that scores of people had found their way to the Alternative Space during the long weekend. Stroll into 24 Otavi Street and you are greeted by a hallway full of paintings. Turn right into the lounge and find the same, with people, black and white, play­ ing board games and chatting while African music wafts from the tape recorder. Outside two guys are fixing their car. Alternative Space's first exhibition is of paintings and woodprints by Susan Guerier-Mitchinson who confronts the viewer with vivid pictures of people and their emotions. "Art is an expression oflife," says the artist. "I take everyday situations and people and through abstraction and exaggeration try to bring out the essence and pulse of everyday life". British-born Guerier-Mitchinsonis no newcomer to N~mibia. She spent three years living in this country before moving to Botswana, and has now returned. Her work has a definite African flavour and she uses beutifully expressive col­ ours in her paintings, while black and white wood prints have an equally forceful impact. The shape of things to come at the Alternative Space? Rorich did not want to commithimselfto definite plans but said they hoped to lay on big exhibitions for holiday periods with more low key shows inbetween. He was certain there were enough Namibian artists, many yet unrecognised, SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS! to regularly fill the walls of 24 Otavi Street, and enough Namibian art-goers thirsting for what they have to offer. Alternative Space can be contacted at Swakopmund 4145, PO Box ~388.
