VARIOUS INTERIM GOVERNMENT spokesmen have said in the past that they wished to 'avoid the 'mistakes of Africa' . Rather than install dictatorships and one-party states, they were fond of saying, democracy was their ideal. So much for the 'good old days' of th~ , Multi - Party Con­ ference propaganda (swallowed whole by most in 'authority' as well as a public known fo r its gullibility), because th'eir ideas have changed dr~s ti cally since they were appoin ted to the seats of power by the S,outh African Government. Now, in the words of Mr Andrew Matjila they have a 'divine right'to rule Namibia. If anyone denies that the mentality of the interim government as a whole is now 'power at all costs', then they are being dangerously naive. If anything should be watched very closely, it is an unelected government which is aware that its 'reign' is not infinite. To all intents and purposes, and although closely in contact with the South African,Government, the interim.government is never sure whether, as the Administrator General will go down in history as saying, 'Resolu­ tion 435 may come like a thief in the night' . They are well aware that if it hasn't happened before that time, then certainly implementation of the UNsettlement plan would spell their end.

DISMAL FAILURE DESPITE LEGITIMACY CLAIM

IN MANY WAYS, the interim government has had a chance not often repeated: the opportunity to govern, ,to change laws, scrap apartheid, and gain credibility of the population as a whole: Mr Matjila, despite the record of past failures, also lays claim to 'legitimacy' for the interim ' government. The South African Govern!11ent, after a year of MPC, is well aware of their failure to provide in the firsfinstance, the South African Govern­ ment itself with the excuse to finally and irrevocably 'ditch' Resolution 435, as they would undoubtedly like to do. But with the present rather shabby record of the interim government, particularly as far as change of any kind in Namibia is concerned, South Africa will 'keep all options open', and will not 'shut the door' on the United Nations settlement plan. So behind the facade of arrogant, opinionated politicians, who ap­ pear to enjoy the prosp,ect of infinite rule, and who claim to be a govern­ ment 'of the people, for the people, by the people'. are undoubtedly nail­ biting, nervous wrecks, unsure of whether the South African Govern­ ment will "terminate' their· rule.

FOLLOWING THE 'AFRICAN TRADITION' I~STEAD

SO DESPITE frequent promises by the MPC to 'uphold democrati~ rule' , and to justify their ascendency to power on the grounds that they would 'set an example ' in Africa, they are, on their own admission suddenly, following the 'Afri<;an' tradition, and stating that representative multi­ party democracy is not part of the 'historical tradition' of the people of this country.

12 THE NAMIBIAN FRIDAY Juiy 4 1986

Second Congress

THE NAMIBIAN National Students Organisation (NAN SO), which held its se­ cond congress at Dobra this week, was founded on July 2 1984. In favour of free and compulsory educa- . tion for all, NANSO membership is open to all Namibian students from the ~econdary level to university level, and th.re are presently plans underway to try and in­ volve pupils at the' primary level of education. NANSO has branches at 14 secondary schools in Namibia, and has 'members on various university campuses, such as the­ University of the Western Cape, UCT, Rhodes, University of the North, UnIversi­ ty of Zimbabwe and others. They also have representatives in Lesotho and Swaziland. The first National Executive members of NANSO included John Damaseb (Presi­ dent), Mac Hengad (Vice President), Han­ no Rumpf (Secretary General) and Steve Scholz (Treasurer). Hanno Rumpf and Steve Scholz recently left the 'country to avoid military callup. NANSO is also an' affiliate of the IAi­ IIGams Conference.

Importing bantustan troops THE ADMISSION by the leader of the Venda homeland in South Africa that 232 Venda troops had been deployed in Namibia for a three month period from May this year, comes as a shock to many Namibians. . That these troops have been sent here to get 'practical ex­ perience' as well as to 'combat communism' is also a matter of grave concern. .. The acknowledgement that bantustan troops -are being tested under 'operational conditions' here in Namibia, raises a number of questions: If the interim government sanctioned this move, then does this imply recognition on their part, of the 'homeland governments' of South AfriCa? . If they were not consulted, do they approve of this move? Or is it yet another example of South Africa 'pulling the strings?' Recently there were reports that the South African Defence Force had used Namibian soil (namely the Mpacha base in Caprivi) to launch raids on neighbouring Frontline states, and despite questions as to whether they had sanctioned or approved the move, the interim government failed once again to account to the people. The South African Government, the interim government, and of course the South African Defence Force consider the Cuban troops as a 'foreign presence' in Angola, and refuse to allow im­ plementation of the Namibian settlement plan unless they are withdrawn, yet with typical double standards, they condone the presence of 'foreign homeland troops' on Namibian soil. . The Venda troops also represent what is abhorrent to mosi Narnibians: namely, the system of bantustans and apartheid. The interim government constantly claims it is opposed to such as system, and yet appears to condone it in practice. - Most Namibians consider South African troops as as occupy­ ing force in this country, here illegally, and againstthe will of the people. The presence of homeland troops would be viewed in an even more serious light by most of the population . . Apart from anything else, there is little doubt that this 'foreign bantustan force' would have problems in communicating with the population in the north of Namibia; a section of our community which is already subject to the most inhuman conditions. Now that area of the country is increasingly becoming a 'testing ground' for weapons and troops and military activities of both the South African, and the socalled homeland governments. The interim government need to address this question with the utmost urgency, and report to the people on the reasons for this decision. The presence of homeland troops in the north also casts the claims by the interim government and SW A TF, that 61 percent of the 'fighting force' in the north are Namibians, and that the local army is inundated with volunteers. The people of Namigia are owed an explanation on this latest folly apparently sanctioned by a government with no mandate.

DANGLING MODIFIERS Everyone's future A 'dangling modifier' is not some strange part of the human body! In fact, it is a fairly common ,gram­ matical fault that we are going to examine today. First­ ly, ~ ha t is meant by a 'modifier'? The word 'modifier' comes from the verb 'to modify', which means to change, alter, or adapt. If you modify a car, you make some changes to it so that it is in some ways different from what it first was. A 'modifier', then, can be defined as 'something which 'changes or alters something else'. In English, a modifier is a grou'p of words that describes another word. So it is similar to an adjective, but it consists of several words - it' is a phrase, not just a single word. 'The following sentences all have modifiers: Walking down the road, she met her friend. They discussed the meeting which they had just ' attended . .In these sentences, 'Walking down the road' describes the subject 'she', and 'which they had just attended', describes the object 'the meeting'. There is nothing wrong with these sentences. But now look at the follow­ ing sentences: The dog chased the cat which was barking. While washing the car, his legs became tired. In the first sentence it is clear that the meaning is that the dog was barking, but this is no what the sentence actually says. If we interpret the sentence literaJly, it tells us that the cat was barking. ,The intended mean, In every country of the world population ing in the second sentence is that while somebody was ~ growth is relevant, because it dictates the ') washing the car, his legs became tired.
