8 April 1988 * * Archbishop Tutu flies into Namibia • reports inside today -------* * *. Kalangula decision to meet P W may cause a storm --------------------STAFFREPORTERS -------------------­ THE DECISION by the Chairman of the Ovambo Administration and leader of the Christian Democratic Action (CD A), Mr Peter Kalangula, to meet with the South African State President, Mr P W Botha, today, is set to cause controversy. Mr Justus Garoeb, leader of the Damara Council and Chairman of the Damara Administration, announc­ ed his refusal to meet with Mr Botha earlier in the week. ·While the exact agenda for the ment, and that any alternative con­ Certain observers believe that Mr meetiqgs with the State President and stitutional arrangement would not Kalangula should meet with Mr his entourage is not known, it is wide­ bring the country any closer to peace.

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".

  • TALES from the BANGER KITCHEN During the Course of Feeding the Hungry Masses at Wall Street, One Has Encountered Some Pretty Strange Dudes Over the Years
    ell, what a busy year it is turning out to be. Since W the last Banter, we entered a team in the Pattaya 10’s and nearly took first prize. Unfortunately the youth- ful Southerners took it away. Then came the Phuket 10’s. This year I was part of the touring party and I can vouch for those who said it was a great tour. There are some photos on the ensuing pages which give you an insight into how we won the Plate and how as a bunch of “Convicts” impressed the locals as well as visitors. Next, came the visit of Jonah Lomu and Steve Thomp- son to Bangkok. They put in a lot of time at Pattana on the Saturday coaching the kids and then attended a Charity dinner in the evening. It was a great few days while they were here with lots of photo opportunities. Bangers rugby shirts were given to them which they both immediately wore. The evening also inspired some unusual behaviour and the subject of a new t-shirt. Then the annual Bangers Golf Day. Very well organ- ised. It was a great day even if I only made 9 holes be- fore collapsing (it was the heat).

  • A Fiery Splash in the Rockaways and Twists on Film at the Whitney
    ART & DESIGN A Fiery Splash in the Rockaways and Twists on Film at the Whitney By ROBIN POGREBIN MAY 26, 2016 Japan Society Show When the Turner Prize-winning artist Simon Starling was preparing the piece he would exhibit at the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art five years ago, he learned about masked Japanese Noh theater, which inspired W. B. Yeats’s 1916 play, “At the Hawk’s Well.” Now Mr. Starling is building on that project with “At Twilight,” his first institutional show in New York and a rare solo exhibition at Japan Society that features a non-Japanese artist. It is also the first exhibition by Yukie Kamiya, Japan Society’s new gallery director, who used to be chief curator at the Hiroshima museum. The show is organized with the Common Guild of Glasgow, which will present Mr. Starling’s version of the Yeats play in July. Mr. Starling said that he was intrigued by the idea of masked theater, “where nobody is who they appear to be.” Pogrebin, Robin, “A Fiery Splash in the Rockaways and Twists on Film at the Whitney”, The New York Times (online), May 26, 2016 The Grand Tour: Simon Starling 19 Mar 2016 - 26 Jun 2016 Nottingham Contemporary presents Turner Prize-winner Simon Starling’s largest exhibition in the UK to date.
