The Structural Evolution of the Kombat Deposits, Otavi Mountainland, Namibia
Communs geol. Surv. Namibia, 10 (1995), 99-107 The structural evolution of the Kombat deposits, Otavi Mountainland, Namibia J.G.Deane Gold Fields Namibia, P.O. Box 3718, Windhoek, Namibia The main phase of the Kombat Cu-Pb (Ag) mineralization is interpreted as being stratabound and syntectonic. The ore deposits are located in Hüttenberg Formation carbonates, on the Northern Platform margin of the Damara Province. Mineralization occurs on the contact with the overlying Kombat Formation phyllite. The deposits form a near-linear east-west trend of pendant-shaped ore loci with a strike length of 6 km. Characteristic features are the abundance of sandstone in Damaran-age karsts, Fe-Mn oxide/silicate as- semblages, intense faulting, fracturing, shearing and brecciation. A strong calcite alteration halo encompasses the deposits. The calcite alteration is of various ages, and therefore not always related to the mineralizing event. The association of stratiform Fe-Mn oxide/ silicate assemblages with the Kombat deposits has led to conflicting ideas regarding the genesis of these deposits. Field evidence, supported by analytical results, has led to the construction of a genetic model for the mineralization and Fe-Mn assemblages. A marine transgression, resulting from late-stage rift tectonism, drowned the southern parts of the Otavi Valley basin. This allowed for deep- seated hydrothermal fluids from the northern graben to migrate up the rift structures, enter the Otavi Valley basin, and deposit Fe and Mn as oxide/silicate assemblages in favourable third-order structures on the platform margin. It is probable that an early phase of Cu mineralization was related to these diagenetic processes. -

The Cassinga Massacre of Namibian Exiles in 1978 and the Conflicts Between Survivors’ Memories and Testimonies
ENDURING SUFFERING: THE CASSINGA MASSACRE OF NAMIBIAN EXILES IN 1978 AND THE CONFLICTS BETWEEN SURVIVORS’ MEMORIES AND TESTIMONIES BY VILHO AMUKWAYA SHIGWEDHA A Dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History University of the Western Cape December 2011 Supervisor: Professor Patricia Hayes ABSTRACT During the peak of apartheid, the South African Defence Force (SADF) killed close to a thousand Namibian exiles at Cassinga in southern Angola. This happened on May 4 1978. In recent years, Namibia commemorates this day, nationwide, in remembrance of those killed and disappeared following the Cassinga attack. During each Cassinga anniversary, survivors are modelled into „living testimonies‟ of the Cassinga massacre. Customarily, at every occasion marking this event, a survivor is delegated to unpack, on behalf of other survivors, „memories of Cassinga‟ so that the inexperienced audience understands what happened on that day. Besides survivors‟ testimonies, edited video footage showing, among others, wrecks in the camp, wounded victims laying in hospital beds, an open mass grave with dead bodies, SADF paratroopers purportedly marching in Cassinga is also screened for the audience to witness the agony of that day. Interestingly, the way such presentations are constructed draw challenging questions. For example, how can the visual and oral presentations of the Cassinga violence epitomize actual memories of the Cassinga massacre? How is it possible that such presentations can generate a sense of remembrance against forgetfulness of those who did not experience that traumatic event? When I interviewed a number of survivors (2007 - 2010), they saw no analogy between testimony (visual or oral) and memory. They argued that memory unlike testimony is personal (solid, inexplicable and indescribable). -
