CABINET COUlD .SPLIT Crucial issue of portfolios may break up interim government BY GWEN LISTER THE INTERIM government Cabinet are keeping a low profile on the decision to allot the Transport portfolio to Mr Jannie de Wet of the National Party, because of a possible breakup of the government as a result. Sources said today that Mr de Wet himself was most unhappy about the portfolio allocation, and the move was seen as a direct snub to the National Party's new Cabinet Minister. In the meantime National Harty leader, Mr Kosie Pretorius,' said he had as yet not been officially informed of the Cabinet decision, but that if the Transport portfolio had i:.O.deed been allocated to Mr de Wet, then the executive ofthe Party'would meet to decide on their further participation in the interim government. The National party was expecting that Mr de Wet would take over the Agriculture portfolio of the former NP Cabinet Minister, Mr Eben van Zijl.

February 13 1987 Own 'little elftpires' NAMIBIA is fast becoming overrun by 'little empires' - political, military, economic and even educational empires - the characteristics of which belie the interim government claims of "multi-racialism" in Namibian society. Thelatest edition of 'Namibia Brief' (a publication of the Namibia Foundation) describes the interim government as "multirachil, with a strong black majority" as if this is proof that a spirit of multiracialism permeates the country. When we look at the mushrooming 'little empires', many of which are still dominated by white Afrikanerdom, one sees that this is not the case. The hierarchy of the socalled SWA Territory Force, which came into being in 1981, is still dominated by white members of the SADF, with a token black presence in the officer's corps, as far as we can establish. A member of the SWATF has also .

In our bodies and the bodies of other anlmals,.cells are not Just mixed together like a crowd of people at a football match; they are organised together Into tissues. I am going to tell you about this today. I shall concentrate on the tissues of mammals (animals like man that are hairy and feed their young with Inilk).

_ANIMAL TISSUES_ I VI

A tissue has often been defined as a group of similar cells specialised to do the same job or jobs. This definition is +~ , f, not entirely satisfactory, but will do for rnv the moment. I will use this and the next two articles to describe tissues. Afterreading these three articles you can ask yourselfthe question - why is the above definition not completely satisfactory? One example of a tissue is connec­ tive tissue. There are several types of connective tissue. One type is shown in Fig.I. It is loose areolar connective tissue. You see that the cells ("c" in the n. diagram), . are not close together, 0 rather;they are widely separated by in­ tercellular ground substance and . fibres("f ' inFig.l). The fibres are made @ ® ofprotein. The fat fibres ("£1" inFig.I), are collagen fibres; they are flexible endo"l. 11.4 MlI.h but relatively inelastic (cannot be stretched much). The thin fibres ("f2" in the diagram), are elastic fibres. As the name sug­ gests, these fibres 8.re easily stretched, ~~-~.J but contract again when they are not pulled. s.d.' There are various types ofcell in this tissue. Three types are shown in the diagram. One of the commonest cell .' types is the fibroblast (the cell on the right in Fig.!). Fibroblasts are thought to produce the fibres and most of the n. . ground substance. There are several (J)~~=~=~ different types of connective tissue 1"wo ;h~ert-ihAj ep ; ~),ell ' ",1 (ells w;t~ on~ which can be classified into two main ~i"'e of /:--J..e (~ll.r 1"(.Yhoved . groups, "connective tissues proper", and "specialised connective tissues" . you cut thin slices across the muscle.
