In addition, South Africa has a "friendly" Namibian government. The last major naval exercise held strong military presence in Walvis Bit.Y. The confused political state of the Kaptein is one thing: the A month later, in October 1982, was OpefationRiksha in 1985, which silence in Rehoboth which greeted the revelations of his meetings South African Foreign Minister Pik was also conducted in the Atlantic Continued on next page with the AWB, quite another. Botha sai,d, in reaction to the question Ocean off the Walvis Bay coast.

Rehobothers generally, can be considered quite a privileged group, in the sense that their children have had access to school­ ing throughout the years; where a majority ofblack children had to battle to get enrolled in schools; where they were part of ex­ cessively large classes; and where they even had to attend schools under trees and in the nights, in order to further their education.

Not so with ·Rehoboth. One would have to question Mr Diergaardt himself quite extensively on why he felt the need to . meet secretly with 'Eugene Terre'blanche's AWB: a white Afrikaner-dominated movement of which Diergaardt and his people could not become members, even if they wanted to. But Mr Diergaardt himself keeps a fairly low-profile, restricting himself to the Rehoboth Gebiet, and does not make himself easi- - ly available for such inquiries.

However one must remind Mr Diergaardt, that he and his Par­ ty are signatory to the soc aIled Windhoek Declaration and the Bill of Rights, both of which were drawn up by th.e interim govern­ ment. Both these documents would, in their anti-discrimination stance, seem to reject the type of organisation which the AWB is. Once again, Mr Diergaardt may have his own views, and even reasons, for meeting with this racist movement; but it still does not explain the silence emanating from the Rehoboth society as a whole on his clandestine meetings with a 'whites-only' organisation; and in particular, one that is not even indigenous to Namibia, but is an import from the colonial occupier, South Africa.

It is perhaps time that many ofthose highly-skilled and profes­ sional inhabitants of Rehoboth (who do not have the excuse ofig­ norance) state their views on the political activities and clandestine meetings of their leader. As far as Mr Diergaardt himself is concerned, he owes it to the people he ostensibly represents, to explain his most recent actions, which generally shocked Namibians; probably even his allies in the National Party!

Its time too that the people of Rehoboth realise that they can­ not form themselves into the familiar Afrikaner laager, and ex­ pect to retain all the privileges in the future, which they enjoyed under colonial rule. It is time they looked north, to their fellow Namibians, who have suffered for many years under a state of war; a war which has not (yet!) affected the south. The Rehoboth Self Government Act has to a large extent protected this group and succeeded in retaining its privileges; but this same act may be scrapped by a future Namibian government, andit would do well for the Rehoboth community to no longer hold themselves in isolation from the rest of the country, and to prepare themselves for a future to be shared with the Namibian nation VITAL LINK - Walvis Bay's economic importance mak~s it a potential political stumbling block as a whole. in the future of Namibia.
