GIBEON IN the south of Namibia will be the scene of much acti vity this weekend, when residents of the area, and people from all over Namibia will assemble to commemorate Heroes Day (formerly Witbooi Day). Pastor Hendrik Witbooi, descendant of the renowned Kaptein Hendrik Witbooi, said 'Witbooi Day' was changed to Heroes Day in 1980 because it was felt that the day should be a national day commemorating the struggle against colonialism, rather than concentrating on Hendrik Witbooi alone. Heroes Day this year will be a combination of the traditional and the historic.

FRIDAY October 25 1985 Stop Unita war aid

THE CONFLICT IN SOUTHERN AFRICA could escalate to an unprecedented level if proposed massive aid - including mili­ tary help - is granted to Jonas Savimbi's Unita, the rebel group fighting for control of Angola. Since the South African Government admitted to 'material, hu­ manitarian and moral' support for the Unita movement, the Unit­ ed States Administration is about to follow suit, and a Bill presently before Congress proposes an amount of R71-million in aid to the Angolan rebels. One would have thought both the US and South Africa had learned thdr lesson in 1975 when they burned their fingers involv­ ing themselves in internal Angolan warfare. The Clark Amendment - which effectively banned further aid to Unita - was adopted in the US in 1975 after revelations that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had secretly provided funds to Unita and FNLA dissident groups in the civil war which followed Angolan independence from Portugal. Earlier this year the Clark Amendment was repealed - and now the race is on to arm and aid Savimbi's rebels. There is n'O doubt that US and South African support for Savimbi t'.P \ .,..... ~ I will further. exacerbate efforts to secure peace in the region, and ' . ./ already the Reagan Administration and South African Government ~ have made the implementation of the seven-year - old United Na­ tions settlement plan conditional to the withdrawal of Cubans from Angola. Should the attempts by SA and the US to install a Unita govern­ ment in Luanda continue, the level of the conflict could rise to previ­ ously unprecedented, and even global, proportions. It has been speculated that southern Africa will be the terrain for 'World War III', and this is a prospect which should be avoid­ ed at all costs. Renewed involvement by the US - which claims a massive in­ jection of Soviet arms to the MPLA Government - backed up by South African forces, would also effectively torpedo efforts to secure Namibian independence. Why should Namibians be called upon to sacrifice their indepen­ dence on the altar of so - called Angolan 'freedom fighters ' , while their own people are labelled 'terrorists'? Let all respect the territorial sovereignity of Angola. Let both the US and South Africa leave Angola to the Angolans, and grant Namibia to the Namibians.

Cont from previous page the UN and World Court decisions. Representative Schroeder's Bill is an admission that the US has not been complying with the World Court decision, despite its verbal support. The World Court ruling, in addi­ tion to upholding the UN's termina­ tion of the mandate, stipulated that all contracts signed by South African administrators in Namibia are null and void, including commercial con­ tracts with foreign companies. Furthermore, the World Court demanded that all countries cease from providing any financial sup­ port that facilitates foreign trade with Namibia. Representative Schroed­ er's Bill specifically prohibits all US trade with Namibia unless such con­ tracts have been licenced by the UN Council for Namibia. Under the provisions of the Bill, American citizens and companies cannot 'search for, take, extract, mine for, process, refine, sell, export, dis­ tribute, purchase, import or use any natural resource situated in or originating from Namibia'. The Bill defines 'natural resource' as includ­ ing land, animal and plant life, oil, JIIt~.%; gas, minerals, water and ground water.

PAMPERED PETS ARE PRICEY!

THE COST OF pet food has become a pricey commodity on the pet owner's budget and it definitely pays to shop around for the cheapest when it comes to frozen pets mince for example, in which case Hartlief's Wholesale offers the best buy at 80 cents per kilo. However when it comes to tinned pets food and dry chunks and pellets, THE NAMmIAN found that there was very little difference between the three supermarkets surveyed. Model proved to have the lowest total, with Woermann Brock second and surprisingly, OK had the highest total.
