Signs of wideni~g rifts in parties over abolition proposal. ~ AG 8 is still firmly in place despite report

BY GWEN LISTER THE INTERIM GOVERNMENT faces the most serious threat to its survival over the question of the scrapping of Namibia's controversial ethnic Proclama­ tion AG 8, It is widely believed that there are deepening rifts in the ranks of both the white National Party and the conservative Rehoboth Free Democratic Party, concerning recommendations by the Select Committee on National Unity, which calls for the interim govern­ ment to 'prove 'its worth', by June 17, the first anniversary of this authority. Committee Chairman, Mr Moses Katjiuongua, tabled his report call­ ing for the abolition of Proclamation AG 8 in the National Assembly on Thesday. The National Party representative, Mr Eben van Zijl, ful­ ly supported the recommendations in a speech described as 'left-wing DTA' by certain observers. What has been descri15ed-as a 'con­ troversial' statement by Mr van Zijl in the eyes of many National Party supporters, will be discussed in depth at a forthcoming extraordinary NP Congress on May 23 and 24. The Congress was announced on Wednesday by NP leader, Mr Kosie· Mr Eben van Zijl Pretorius, who told The Namibian that the Congress would examine whether Mrvan Zijl had acted within the mandate given him by the Party. The standpoint of the NP was

clearly spelt out in a statement by Mr FEEDING THE ANTI7CHRIST?

So by adding one very simple command we have made our program GOATS capable of asking fora,n input and then printingjt repetitively.

Also in this copy of the Review is an article entitled NaInibia: A Future Displaced by journalist Max du Preez. Swapo's military wing, says du Preez, was past its peak and would probably never. again be the formidable force it was in the late 1970s. A bigger enemy to Swapo, he continues, is the unprecedented apathy from the NaInibian masses. 'Swapo is suddenly faced with the harsh reali­ ty that time is not on its side despite what the books on revolutionary warfare say'. Adding to Swapo's headaches, according to du Preez, is the fact that inside the country, anti Swapo forces have been consolidating.
