University of Cape Town i SOUTH WEST AFRICA/NAMIBIA ISSUES RELATED TO POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE This dissertation constitutes a study of all issues rele- vant to South West Africa/Namibian independence, from 1915 to June 1983. The method employed is primarily of a descrip- tive, histcirical and analytical nature, which brings together in a concise study a variety of primary research materials, particularly with extensive use of newspaper resources. Due to the limited available material on South West Africa/ Namibia, it was necessary to rely upon these journalistic sources to a large extent. It was, therefore, necessary to assume that: • 1. newspaper references are correct and valid, and that articles by relevant authorities and political figures are a true expression of the writers' political beliefs; 2. that in terms of books, journals and other published materials in relation to South West Africa/Namibia, the facts have been accurately researched and verified, and 3.

O trabalho tem por foco alguns exemplos de comemorações de eventos históricos ocorridos durante a guerra colonial (1904- 1908) no sudoeste africano (atual Namíbia) e o processo de descolonização, tanto na Namíbia quanto na Alemanha, que transcorre por meio de petições por reparações ou protestos contra monumentos do período (pós-)colonial. Palavras-chave: Colonialismo. Namíbia. Criticismo pós-colonial. Memória. Comemoração. Introdução Durante a noite natalina de 2013, algumas ruas da zona urbana de Windhoek, capital da Namíbia, foram bloqueadas pela polícia local para assegurar o trabalho de uma equipe de asiáticos incumbida da demolição de um monumento da cidade. Uma parte da avenida Robert-Mugabe, próxima à rótula da via Sam-Nujoma, ficou inter- rompida por horas e sob forte vigilância policial.

Continued Preparations for Election of Constituent Assembly - South African Acceptance of Five Western Powers' Proposals for Transitional Period - Internal Unrest -South African Military Operations - UN Security Council Warning against Further South African Incursions into Angola During December 1977 and January 1978 Mr Justice Marthinus T. Steyn, the Administrator-General of South West Africa appointed by the South African Government [see 28789 A; page 28498], took further measures with the objective of creating a suitable climate in which elections could be held on the basis of one man, one vote for a constituent assembly which would evolve a constitution for an independent Namibia. Mr Steyn announced on Dec. 12 that as from January 1978 the system of separate "Bantu" education would be repealed in the territory and that all population groups would be "educated under one country-wide curriculum". As for the general dismantling of apartheid, Mr Steyn said on Dec. 24 that he had no authority to repeal all apartheid practices but only those which were "an impediment to free political association". On Jan. 12 Mr Steyn announced that municipal elections which would normally have been due would be suspended in view of the proposed general elections for a constituent assembly. On Jan. 30 Mr Steyn took over control of the administration of the Department of Mines from the South African authorities. Mr M. D. J. Steenkamp, a South African acting judge, was on Jan.
