12 THE NAMmIAN FRIDAY June 13 1986

No'reason to celebrate

THE INTERIM GOVERNMENT was inaugurated on June 17 1985, and next Tuesday marks its first year of rule. But for the people of Namibia, there is no reason to celebrate. In fact it would be highly inappropriate if this occasion were ' to be heralded in any official or semi-official way. We do not need to go into specifics, for our views are well known on the subject of this government. From the start we felt that it was time the people of Namibia exercise their long-awaited self-determination, rather than impose yet another South African- , sponsored 'settlement' . Neither did we believe that anything concr'ete would be achiev­ ed by a government which was appointed rather thari elected. The first year of office of the Multi-Party Conference has proved us right. Nothing has changed in Namibia. We still have an expensive and bureaucratic system of ethnic governments; we still have manifold contraventions of the Bill of Rights; and no solution is yet in sight. We call on the South African Government, which is still in con­ trol of Namibia, to finally heed the call of the majority of the Namibian people, and implement the settlement plan provided for in UN Resolution 435, to prevent further escalation of the conflict and promote a speedy solution to the Namibia dispute. It has become abundantly clear that the interim government is not able to bring about 'reconciliation' or the changes so vital~ Iy needed in our society. Arbitrary action by army

. THIS WEEK two of our staff members were detained by the military in northern Namibia for alleged contraventions of Sec­ tion 119 of the Defence Act. Although army 'investigations' are still continuing, we are con­ fident there were no 'contraventions' committed by our reporters who merely photographed an incident where army vehicles tried to push a civilian tractor off the road. The staff members were in the north to cover the opening of the Legislative Assembly in Ondangua. The action by the military was,.in our view, arbitrary and un­ called for, and represents yet another inroad on the freedom of the press in Namibia.

I -~- THE NAMffiIAN FRIDAY June 13 1986 ·13

BY CHRIS SHIPANGA

A NEW plant which will increase the production capacity of zinc concentrate ·by 25 percent was opened at the Rosh Pinah Zinc Mine at a cost of R3,7-million last Friday. Iscor is the main shareholder of the Mine, with 51 percent, while Moly Copper Min­ ing and Exploration Company of Namibia, owns the rest. The Iron and Steel Corporation (lSCOR) Senior General Manager Mr B.C. Alberts said the decision to exploit the Rosh Pinah deposit was taken knowing that the risk was high but as it was the only known zinc deposit in southern Africa, it was felt that the strategic value warranted the risk. 'At this point in time ore reserve calculations indicated a reserve of almost four million tons of mineable ore. This means a pro­ duction of an outcrop of carbonate rock ·containing a visible average of six percent zinc and lead mineralisation for a period . of about ten years,' he said. Mr Alberts said he had faith in the future of the Rosh Pinah Mine because in contrast with most other metals, the world de­ mand for zinc metal has been constant for years and is expected to remain so.

'It is in.view hereof that we have faith in the future and that is why this 25 percent increase in capacity, whicp. was first mooted in 1983, has now been accomplished at the cost of R3,7 million,' he said. Reacting on the Grote and Thirion Reports Mr Alberts said these reports touched on a number of matters which were·a source of 'disquiet to the entrepreneurs in the mining industry of Namibia.' 'I should like to make it clear that there are also positive aspects of the Thirion Report _. we are not wholly negative. I also want to confirm here that we are planning to make a positive contribu­ tion to the Interdepartmental Committee of Inquiry into the Thirion Report, because we are in Namibia to make a positive contribution,' Mr Alberts said. 'We also intend to react with the necessary comments and cor­ rections to every reference in the Report to Imcor Tin and Imcor Zinc. An aspect of the Grote Report which really leaves a nasty taste in the mouth is the caustic tone of certain remarks and the conclusions in the report. 'Mr Grote drew a wrong conclusion of transfer pricing by alleg­ ing that over a five year period Imcor Zinc failed to declare R64-million in a deliberate attempt to dodge tax through transfer pricing. I can only dismiss this allegation as drivel based by an uninformed person on erroneous deductions. 'It is obvious that Mr Grote has no idea of the factors involv­ ed in marketing minerals. He did not even take the trouble to find out, consequently, he supplied incorrect information to the judge and the public from which the wrong conclusions have been drawn. This story has undoubtedly done great harm to the Nami­ bian mining industry, and more specifically to our two companies on both local and international level, and no amount of correc­ tion will ever be able to restore the damaged image,' Mr Alberts concluded. According to an Imcol- Zinc publication the mine employs 445 persons of whom 182 persons are skilled and the remainder semi­ skilled. It is said that since 1978 all employees are paid according to a uniform, non-discriminatory salary structure, and that salaries paid are competitive with those of similar rhines in the country. The publication gives the impression that the mine is 'completely - Namibianised' with the exception of four expatriate employees seconded from South Africa. But while it is claimed the salary structure is uniform and non­ discriminatory,it was disappointing to note that schooling in the . mining town is segregated. There is a pre-primary as well as a primary school up to standard four for 'white' children, while one primary school for 'Coloured and Nama'children consisting of two classrooms is in use .. The brochure also boasts 'a private club with licenced bar and provision for indoor sports', and also 'sports facilities including tennis courts, an 18-hole golf course, a swimming pool' which are not open to black workers of the mine. In an attempt to establish what type of wage system was in use at the Mine, a spokesman refused_to comment. Neither would.· he give a breakdown of the percentage of black employees as op­ posed to whites, or who the shareholders of Moly Copper were, or what the Mine's policy is regarding unionisation. 14 THE NAMIBIAN FRIDAY June 13 1986 LETTERS------~ ,.
