THE PRESIDENT of Swanu (progressives), Mr Kuzeeko Kan­ gueehi, has condemned the re­ cent South African raid into Angola. Describing the raid as 'illegal', Mr Kangueehi said that South Africa had no right to occupy Namibia and to use the country as a 'springboard' for armed raids into other countries . . He added that the raid was aimed at assisting Unita against Angolan Army offensives. Asked about the role of the in­ terim government in the raid, he said all sectors of the interim government were still under South African control, and although it did not order the raid, would have to 'squarely bear the blame' since it was 'part of the South African rule'. On the question of Namibian in­ dependence, Mr Kangueehi said there had been a shift in attention from the international communi­ ty. The focus was now on South Africa. This he attributed to the in­ tensity of activity inside that coun­ try. While the activity in Namibia was on the borders, in South Afri­ NAMiRAC ca it was inside that country.

nomibAd 8211 E 12 THE NAMIBIAN FRIDAY September 271985

FRIDAY September 271985 Time for the truth FOLLOWING THE RECENT REVELATIONS about South African support for both Renamo rebels in Mocambique and Vni­ ta rebels in Angola, the people of this country are entitled to ask the South African Government to spell out its intentions regard­ ing Namibia. The recent raid into Angola in order to prop up a rival faction in that country, has brought home to Namibians the fact that in vital spheres of their life, South Africa continues to make the decisions. In addition, Namibians are kept in the dark regarding South Afri­ can intentions, both in Namibia and in neighbouring countries. The argument that Namibia provides a 'valuable training ground and testing terrain' for South African troops ang munitions, is not only immoral, but also comes down to the fact that South Africa is using the soil of a foreign country for its own interests of war. Namibian independence continues to be held hostage to extrane­ ous factors such as the Cuban presence in Angola, and now in ad­ dition, the Vnita question had been brought to the fore as yet another delay to the country's long sought-after independence. South African parents may well be unhappy that their conscripted sons are used to prop up a rebel movement in a neighbouring coun­ try, but Namibian nationalists cannot allow their country to be used as a springboard for an occupation force, to meddle in the affairs of sovereign countries. At the same time the people of this country are aware that while the Reagan Administration expressed righteous condemnation of the recent raid, this 'condemnation' was aimed primarily at appeas­ UNITY BEYOND ing African states. Their indignation struck a false note in view of the reported 'open secret ' of CIA involvement on Vnita's side in the Angolan civil strife. Namibians have every right to object to the use of their country CULTURAL as a springboard for South African incursions into neighbouring countries, the destabilisation of, and meddling in, the affairs of our Angolan neighbour, while their own independence is hamstrung by Cuban linkage and other factors. BARRIERS They also have the right to expect the South African Govern­ ment to unequivocally state her intentions regarding Namibia. For too many years N~1Jlibians have waited for a peaceful set­ tlement, a settlement which will bring about a ceasefire, free and -' the 'recipe for Namibian fair elections and independence. For too many years this settlement has been held hostage to South African intransigence and unwill­ ingness to allow the holding of such elections in Namibia.

THE COLONISATION OF THE SOUTHERN TSWANA 1870 - 1900 By Kevin Shillington Published by Ravan Press SeJIi,ng price: R18.00

THE DISCOVERY of diamonds in South Africa in 1870 totally trans­ formed South African society and set it firmly on the path of capitalist development. Previous studies seem to have focussed on the tussle between Boer and Brit to gain control of this abundant source of wealth. Kevin Shillington looks at the underlying social experience of the Southern Tswana of Griqualand West and Southern Bechuanaland, in whose territory diamonds were discovered. The Tswana-speaking peo­ ple were caught between new opportunities opened up by the diamond fields, and resisting the loss of lands and liberty. Exposed to penetra­ tion by missionaries, speculators, various colonial officials, and filibusters, the Tswana clans finally succumbed to the combined forces COUNTRY weighted against their independence. Resistance only hastened their SAUSAGE final collapse. For the lover of history, particularly South African history, the book R2.S0 offers a new dimension on the Southern Tswana in the pre-diamonds per Kg era, the colonisation of Griqualand West, and the colonisation of Brit­ ish Bechuanaland.

SWABC's 'new look' schedule gets into gear.

THE 'NEW LOOK' television schedule goes into force as from Monday next week, and might seem a little strange initially, with the South African news moved to a later time slot and an own local newscast slotted for every evening at eight, excepting Saturdays and Sundays - when the South African newscast will be transmitted in the vicinity of nine o'clock. In addition to the altered schedule, there are also a number of new programmes in store.

Ifthis year's Tournament is to be saved, it will take nothing less than an NNSL 'backdown' from the stance that all its teams participate. Should this not materialise, other associations would be the objectors, and rightly so. They spent the season fiercely competing for a place in the top four of their respective leagues, to book a place tothe Mainstay Cup. Some have even gone as far as trying to bribe their way into the top four. But the NNSL, who broke away in the first place atthe beginning ofthisseason, are now trying to call the shots, by insisting that they are exempt from the rules which apply tothe rest ofthe country.lftheir demands are not met, they have made it abundantly clear they will boycott the Tourna­ ment and stage their own. Other associations in turn, have also made it crystal-clear that they will boycott if the NNSL has its way. A spokesman for the NNSL said this week that the ball was in NASA's court as the decision to accept, or reject their demands, lies with the con­ trolling body. This however, is not so. NASA has the good of soccer in the entire country to think of, while the N NSL have clearly shown they have only their own interests at heart - and to blazes with the rest. As the body that supposedly represents the strength of Namibian soc­ cer, they should take the lead in rectifying the Mainstay mess, by eating The Namibian National soccer side, pictured shortly before their departure for Johannesburg humble pie, and relenting on their stance.
