South African lies South African disinfornmation is being accepted by the international media and given priority over reports from other sources, says SWAPO. Peter Manning, of SWAPO, detailed some of the acts of terrorism carried out by the apartheid regime which the media fail to take into account when publicising the war being waged against Namibia and the Pront Line States. He said evidenceofSouth African responsibility for the bomb which exploded at a bank in Oshakati, northern Namibia, on 19 February, killing 27 people and injuring 60 ' did not stop widespread publicity for the regime's claim that SWAPO was responsible. 'Responsible journalists would have looked at past events,' said Peter Manning. He recalled the incident last year in which South African forces were caught planting a bomb outside the maternity ward of theregion's hospital, thediscoveryof a bomb at the hospital the week after the bank attack, and an attempt by two-white meulto plant a bomb at a post office.
