FRIDAY October 41985 A poor imitation

THE CONSTITUTIONAL COUNCIL ACT stipulates the for­ mation of an instrument of government to work out 'a basis on which the territory can exist as an independent and sovereign state' . As the last dependency of Africa, Namibia is awaiting its long overdue emancipation from South African rule. The way has been prepared by agreement of all parties, to ~ake Nami~ia to internationally-recognised nationhood through ImplementatIOn of United Nations Security Council Resolution 435. The formula calls for an end to the drawn-out war and the holding of free and fair elections for a Constituent Assembly, whose assignment with the full mandate of the electorate, will be to draw up an independence constitution. The existence of the Constitutional Council is irreconcilable with this widely-accepted independence plan for Namibia. The six par­ ties to be represented in that Council cannot claim to have the en­ dorsement of the people to plan their future. No matter how hard the interim administration may try to justi­ fy the creation of this body, the Council should be done away with, the sooner the better. It is clearly a duplication of the work to be done by the legitimate Constituent Assembly, and a poor imita­ tion of the elected and therefore lawful constitution-making process envisaged in Resolution 435 . It is also clearly a waste of time and money that Namibia can ill afford at any time, but particularly at present. Time for a closer look Reverse this decision at the now-controversial A CORNERSTONE of civilised society and a pillar of democratic government is an independent judiciary which must be beyond all reproach in the eyes of the public.

Windhoek Show Government departments well represented at the annual Windhoek Show

THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT will also exhibit at the annual Windhoek Agricultural and Industri~1 Show which starts on Monday. The Department has exhibited at the Show since 1978. * Pictured is the road between Grootfontein and Rundu before and after it was tarred.

THIS YEAR the exhibit of the SWA Police deals with the controversial 'COIN' unit, formerly known as 'Koevoet'. Statistics, said a press release by the SWA Police, showed that in certain cases the unit could claim '100 percent elimination' in the socalled Operational Area. * Picture shows the 'COIN ' unit in operation.

AN INTERESTING exhib!.~ion by the Department of Agriculture at the Show focusses on preda­ tors, which are claimed to be responsible for millions of Rand in damage among livestock in this co untry . The Department feels that the struggle between 'problem predators and farmers' is one in which People who work towards a a compromise is needed.
