We wonder if some white right-wing organisation claimed respon­ sibility for a bomb blast, whether police would similarly raid the residential areas of Pionierspark and other traditionally 'white' suburbs of Windhoek. In terms of security legislation AG 9, 'security' forces have widespread powers of search and arrest, even without warrants. It is all too easy to abuse such incredibly draconian legislation to target opponents of the state, although they may not necessarily support violence or agree with the perpetrators of the deed. It would" also seem to be further polarising an already polarised situation, and will make what the interim government refer to as 'reconciliation' so much more difficult in the long run. In the case of the recent Walvis Bay blasts, an Anglican priest was also the subject of a three-hour police raid on his home. He was questioned at length about his knowledge of the Walvis Bay post office (where one of the bombs exploded) and his whereabouts several nights before the incident. Althollgh the 'security' legislation gives almost unlimited power to 'security' forces, residents of this country who are the targets of such raids and searches, must realise they have certain rights. They are under no obligation to answer any questions by the police, apart from furnishing their name, address and identity number. Similar­ ly, while police (in Windhoek and all towns to the north) have wide powers of search and arrest, NamibianS must be aware of their rights (albeit limited). The house or homeowner should have the right to be present when his or her premises are searched; and residents should demand a receipt for items confiscated by the police. The public should be aware oftheir rights when subject to arbitrary search and arrest; and the 'security' forces should exercise restraint and discretion when conducting such operations.

The previous practice was to remain silent un- , til the troops were back in Namibia, the territory between South Africa and Angola occupied by Pretoria in defiance of the UN; and also to claim that ~uch interventions were preemptive strikes against Swapo and ANC guernllas heading elsewhere. In the past three years Swapo has come south with the annuaJ dry-season offensive by the MarXist MPLA Government against the Unita heartland in the south-east. Thus a: South African strike against Swapo is inseparable from an attack on Fapla (the MPLA army) and cannot but benefit Unita.So:far this year the annual confrontation haslasted for about two months.

She was never seen. Her very secrecy, and the mystery with which she sur­ roundedherself, brought her fame.
