Token black? THE FACT that the United States' next Amhassador to South Africa - Mr Edward Perkins - was a blackman, was ofno concern to the South African Government, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Pik Botha, said this week. Corifirming through a spokesman in . Pretoria the' substance of an earlier media inter­ view, he said there were already five black Ambassadors in South Africa - from the "TBVC" states and Malawi. It was of no concern to the SA Government what the skin colour of an ambassador was. Mr Botha had also,'lighthearted­ ly, added that he hoped South Africa would one day send its own black ambassador to the United States. . Meanwhile two Johannesburg morning papers, "The Sowetan" and "The Citizen", have criticised the nomination of Mr Perkins as America's Ambassador to Pretoria, while "Business Day", has welcomed it. .

8 Friday October 3 1986 THE NAMIBIAN Africa African Press Review 'Well·fed men in bondage' • Kenya's oldest newspaper, The Standard, accused British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of being unfair to Africans and quoted recent events that tended to indicate that she was getting close to being accused of blatant racism. . The daily first accused Mrs Thatcher ·in regard to sanctions against South Africa, "with the West German Chancellor Mr Helmut Kohl , they insist thal sanctions should not be imposed because they will 'hurt black South Africans and those in the neighbouring independent states, more than the racist whites' '. With dismay, the paper said the black South Africans were being told in "sim­ ple terms" that they were better off as well-fed men in bondage than they would be in freedom . The paper also balked at Britain's decision to tighten visa controls for visitors from West Africa and the Asian sub-continent, claiming that they were causing "immigration chaos" at London's Heathrow airport. "Short of saying that 'we do not want people of your race here', or producing evidence that they have broken the law - which surely they can not do col­ lectively - .no one has bothered to give a valid reason for the new measure." African anger and Aids However, what has aroused the wrath of Africans more was the contemplated British.requirement that visitors from Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia be tested for Aids (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), before entering Britain. "This smacks of racism", the paper said. "Why not then check the Americans, who are more frequent visitors to 'holier than thou Britain', or would this anger Ronald Reagan?" the paper asked. Kenya's mass circulation newspaper The Daily Nation, said that one was . entitled to suspect that the British action was merely another pretext for "slap­ ping further restrictions on black, and perhaps later, brown people from enter­ ing Britain to settle there." "Why single out the Africans and leave out the whites in Europe", asked The Times of Zambia, adding that the move was extremely puzzling because all reports indicated that Aids was widespread in Europe and the United States. "While Africa cannot boast of having a large army of prostitutes and homosex­ uals, the United States and Europe have the largest share", it said. The paper suggested that Britain drop its plans against Africans and clean its own house first , because the source of Aids was not in Zamiba, Tanzania or Uganda. The paper concluded "Since Britain and other 'developed coun­ tries are in this mess with us, instead of abusing us they should help educate Nkomo contributes to peace us on this and other diseases, so that we can help ourselves as we make RECENT PROGRESS in unity returnees to Zimbabwe, most ofwhom "Some oftheSe returneesliavefanns, progress.

October 3 1986 A: tribute to· ~ruger ONE OF THE MANY areas in which the interim government has failed to legislate effectively, .con­ cerns the controversial public holidays issue. . Next week on Friday Namibians are forced to com­ memorate the South African public h oliday known as Kruger Day, a day which means little or nothing to the people of this country. It is the lack of decisiveness on issues such as these which indicates the lack of unity in the ranks of the interim government - for they are unable to break away from the traditional South African mould into which Namibia has been forced for the past decades, and establish an own identity (or the country. The former DTA-government in this territory was disbanded on this very issue - public holidays - and one have thought it would have been a priority for a 'new' government, which claims to have full legislative and executive p~wers , apart from the key areas of Foreign Affairs and Defence, to correct the situation. Unfortunately h owever, the record of the interim government shows oDly 'reforms' agreed to in prin­ ciple, but little or nothing implemented in practice. The disunity in their ran~s is all too evident, in vir­ tually every sphere - from integrated education to the writing of an 'independence' constitution - and there is little one can say in their favour. The commemoration of Kruger Day in Namibia in the year 1986 and with the country ostensibly under the control of an 'own government', is another indica­ tion of the scant amount of change which has taken place since the interim government took over from the South African-appointed Administrator General. What's in a nam.e? WHETHER OR NOT to change the name of 'South West Africa' to 'Namibia', was hotly debated in the National Assembly this week. . While the matter has been referred to the socalled Constitutional Council, it is evident that this is another matter on which there is no consensus or agreement in the ranks of the interim government. In most cases,. parties in that government which formerly referred to 'Namibia', now prefer the less controversial 'SW A/Namibia' , since the name 'Namibia' has apparently been equated with op­ ponents of the status quo. But except among the extreme right-wing, there is little doubt that 'Namibia' it will be, and 'SWAIN amibia' will soon become redundant as did 'Zimbabwe/Rhodesia'.
