The sheer vagueness of the self-appointed minister's statement, a mere four paragraphs long, in a matter that strikes at the heart of the apartheid policies of Afrikanerdom, is enough grounds for concern. According to the minister 'race and colour' will no longer be regarded as 'relevant factors' in deciding who will be admitted to any particular school. . . But in an absurdly self-righteous get-out clause the interim goverIiment Cabinet 'in accordance with the Bill of Fundamen tal Rights' recognises that such factors as 'the language medium, religion, culture, geography and the right and choice of parents will always be respected and taken into account in the organisa tion and administration of our education policy' . The minds of interim government ministers may be obligingly forgetful but those of the Namibian people are not. . There .have been enough heartbreaking cases of children of socalled mixed parentage, who could not attend school because they did not fit into the, category of one or other ethnic group.
