NBC'S FIJNI)S 'CUT'

Unhappiness over 630/0 salary bill

MBATJIUA NGAVIRUE

INFORMATION and Broadcasting Minister Hidipo Hamutenya yesterday confirmed that the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation's proposed budget of R48-million for 1990/91 had been cut to R39-million.

The cut means that the corpora­tion's bloated bureaucracy will have to undertake serious belt-tightening measures in the coming year.

fo .!ready there is growing discon­to>nt among the public about the 63 per cent of the budget eaten up by salaries while the quality of pro­gramming has fallen.

The NBC was allocated R35-mil­lion in last year's budget for the purpose of providing the country with a high quality television and radio service.

Sixty-three per cent of the R35-million is, however, believed to have been spent on salaries and perks such as company cars and housing allow-ances.

The corporation is, however, con­sidered to be tottering under the weight of a top-heavy and often unnecessary bureaucracy.

Since its days as the SWABC, the corporation has been burdened by an army of highly paid bureaucrats with

vague and poorly conceived job descriptions. -

Bureaucrats at the NBC have flour­ished at the expense of journalists and production staff who form only a tiny fraction of the total -staff.

There also seems to be a general feeling that programming could be improved if there were fewer people at the NBC sitting around counting paper clips.

Cutting the bloated bureaucracy would also make it possible to either reduce or freeze television licence fees at the currently high level of R96.

The NBC asked for a budget allo­cation ofR48~min this year's budget which is a hike of R13-m over last year's budget. The extra R13-m was -ostensibly needed to cover increases in running costs and to replace wom­out equipment.

THERE is a strong possibility that the Katutura Single Quarters could be demolished, nrunicipal official Faan Oosthuizen said yesterday.

At a meeting with the Single Quar­ters Committee, Oosthuizen said

h 'e torn down necessary improvements to the quar­ters would only be carried out if the government could tell the munici­pality what its future plan for the place was.

Molly Lubowski lights 'human rights' candle

CAPE TOWN - There should be full and public disclosure of the activities and operating methods of aU covert police and CCB cells, Black Sash national vice-president Karin Chubb, told a lunchtime meeting on death squads on Tuesday.

The meeting, organized by the Black Sash, was followed by a silent stand on the steps of St George's Cathe­dera ~ by 30 Black Sash members under .. canner reading "Death Squads - the truth must be told " .

The 15-minute stand was filmed by a police video crew.

Speaking to an audience of about 150 people, Chubb said the Sash wanted an assurance from the Gov­ernment that CCB-type units had indeed been disbanded and would never be . tolerated again, and the extension of the brief. of the Harms Commission to incfIde assassina-

tions and attacks beyond South Af­rica's borders.

She said ANC leaders returning from exile had said the country's future should be based on forgive­ness.

"But for forgiveness to be pos­sible, the truth must be told and the past faced. Our task is to acquire full and complete knowledge of what had been done in our country, in our time and ultimately ill our name. "

. Molly Lubowski, mother of slain Swapo activist AntonLubowski, lit a , 'human rights candle' , at the begin­ning of the meeting.

Tokyo hosts huge festival TOKYO - More than 700 performers, conductors and composers from 23 nations will gather in a northern Japan park next week to launch what Japan hopes will become a major annual music festival.

Conductors Leonard Bernstein and Michael Tilson Thomas are artistic directors of the new Pacific Music Festival, a three-week concert, study and discussion session inspired by festivals at Tanglewood in the United States and Scbleswig-Holstein in West Germany.

The festival opens next Tuesday on an outdoor stage set up in a natural amphitheater to accommodate an audience of 5000 near'Sapporo, capital of the northern main island of Hokkaido. Opening festivities fea­ture Samul Nori, a drum and dance troupe from South Korea, and brass players from the London Symphony Orchestra. The concerts that follow will feature the London Symphony, the Sapporo Symphony and the Pa­cific Music Festival Orchestra.

The festival orchestra is made up of 138 young instrumentalists who also will be the students ofBerns.tein, Thomas and 33 other conductors, composers and instrumentalists in the festival's master classes.

Organizers said the students were chosen from more than 900 young musicians who applied for the three-

week study session. The festival's sl,>loists include

Japanese-born violinist Midori Goto, who uses only her first name when she performs in the United States; American baritone Thomas Hampson; Soviet baptone Dmitri Hvorostovsky, and Japanese soprano Shinobu Sato.

Performing groups include a Maori ensemble from New Zealand, an In­donesian ensemble, a Chinese erhu ensemble and Mexico's Ballet Folk­lorico de Colima.

Aside from halls and the outdoor stage at Sapporo's Art Park, also a showcase for sculpture and other arts, the festival will use theaters in Sap­poro and nearby cities.

About 50 composers will teach classes and exchange ideas in seminars. On July 9. Bernstein will conduct the London Symphony and Thomas will conduct the festival orchestra in concerts commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Tanglewood Fes­tival in the US state of Massachu­setts.

The chief sponsor of the festival is Nomura Securities. Japan Airlines and Sony Corp. are co-sponsors.

of the progress of the talks, he said. Diplomats said the two superpow­

ers were keen to end the conflict, which has devastated a potentially prosperous country and killed tens of thousands of people.

The diplomats said Unita and the government remained deeply distrust­ful of each other. The rebels were demanding an instant multi-party system, while the MPLA wanted Unita to recognize formally its status as the government.

The two sides ended three days of talks on Monday at the seaside for­tress of Sao Juliao da Barra in Oeiras, summer residence of Portuguese military chiefs.

The government team was led by Antonio Pitra, a close aide of Pre si­dent Jose Eduardo dos Santos. Unita's delegation was headed by its chief negotiator and Lisbon representative, Paulo Alicerces Mango.

UN TEAM RECOGNIZES THE CHANGE IN SOUTH AFRICA

PRETORIA -Changes had begun to take place in South Africa and the United' Nations team saw a need for "a series of confidence-building measures" to reduce violence and increase trust, delegation bead Abdulrahim Farah said in Pretoria on Tuesday. .

Speaking after talks with Foreign MinisterPik Botha at the Govern­ment Guest House in Pretoria, Farah said although the UN supported the view that apartheid should be dis­mantled through negotiations "the mechanisms for and the substance of the new constitutional dispensation are matters to be decided by the people of South Africa".

He pointed out that fundamental change in a society often created uncertainty and fear, and the delega­tion had found this "to be particu­larly true in this country of great contrasts".Perceptions about the . adequacy of changes in South Africa varied widely, but changes had be­gun. with the State President's initia­tives having been "warmly welcomed by all the organisations we met".

"We have taken note of other actions which he has taken since then to­wards that end ••• Farah added.

He said the group had held over 50 meetings during its 10-day visit to South Africa, and the discussions bad been "informative and construc­tive" .

The mission was, however, "greatly concerned about the alarming degree of violence occurring in many parts of South Africa, in particular the Natal province" .

ing must go arm in arm with the political process otherwise South Africa could well become engaged in self-defeating exercise," he added.

On the confidence-building meas­ures he had mentioned, he said ex­amples of these might include broad discussions about the new South Africa between all parties, the people and the governIl!ent, the translating into action of new government policies for ending apartheid, and the institu­tion of "programmes of economic and social redress for the most de­prived groups in the country".

"The United Nations and the in­ternational community at large care deeply about what happens in South Afri,:a. We leaveSouthAfrica with a

better understanding of the challenges and opportunities you face in the months ahead," he said.

Asked whether he felt there would now be further UN mvolvement in South Africa, he said merely that that would be "a m~'" . to be discussed between the S(.~.e .. try-General and the Government".

and the lni is not a politician. We reject the General Assembly's reso­lution, but it is in the interests of South Africa to ensure our view of events must be transmitted to the world," he said.

Mitterrand says sanctions stay PARIS - The time Is not yet ripe to 11ft economic sanctions against South Africa, French President Francois Mltterrand said In an Interview published on Tues­day. "The moment has not come to 11ft them (sanctions)," he told the newspaper Le Monde. "Sanctions were Imposed In order to end apartheid, but apartheid continues." European Community (EC) leaders are due to decide at their June 25-26 summit In Dublin whether to maintain sanctions or to relax them as a reward to the white-led government for Its political reforms. Mltterrand praised President F.W. de Klerk for releasing pollflcal prisoners and ending a four-year state of emergency, but said much remained to be done to dismantle the apartheid system of racial segregation. He said South Africa had the good. fortune, at a turning point In its history, to have two exceptional leaders in De Klerk and black leader Nelson Mandela, both of whom he met recently during separate visits.

Quality of life high on Namibia's shopping list

HEALTH and housing will be two of the most important items on Na­mibia's shopping list at the United Nations Donors ' Conference in New York this TIrursday and Friday. When President Sam Nujoma, Foreign Minister Theo-Ben Gurirab, Plan­ning Commission Director-General Dr Zedikia Ngaivrue and Finance Minister Otto Herrigel put the needs of the world's newest nation on the table in New Yorlc, the quality oflife for ordinary Namibians will be at the fore.

The Namibian delegation will argue the country's housing situation re­quires urgent attention and, accord­ing to a document prepared for the conference, will suggest that around $US20-million in external aid will

be needed to execute future housing plans. Squatting, poor conditions in existing homes, the housing plight of low-income groups and inadequate peri-urban development are among the greatest problems to be rectified.

The delegation will stress the need for well-planned local and regional settlement, based on the proper sup­ply of roads, water, sewerage and power services.

According to 'The Reconstruction and Development of Namibia , docu­ment written by the government, "it is important to ensure that future housing programmes in Namibia result in the p,rovision of affordable but not necessarily low standard houses' ' .

$US20-million to cover current and capital costs.

The' 'major reorientation~' would basically involve shifting the em­phasis of Namibia's health care sys­tem from curative medicine to pri­mary health care. It would abo focus

. on distributing services more widely among rural communities rather than concentrating on massive, but inac­cessible town hospitals.

Other targeted health areas are the improvement of infrastructure and provision of equipment, and the in­crease of staff and staff-training.

Staff increases and training are essential throughout the whole range of health workers, says the docu­ment.

on devising appropriate mechanisms for constructing new houses - such as cooperatives, self-help programmes and trust funds - the supply of rental housing and the development of lo­cally produced building materials.

Union organizer Kavaa, hO\llever, said the incident at Pink Panther was typical of the problems encountered because of the previous administra­tion's failure to introduce a labour code.

It claims that three-quarters of the $20-million requested will be needed to cover capital expenditure, with the remaining $5-million planned for technical assistance to related insti­tutions and programmes.

With regard to health. the docu­ment estimates that around 30 mil­lion US dollars worth of external help is necessary for the envisaged "major reorientation of the Namib­ian health system".

This would represent 30 per cent of the country's total health budget. $US 1 O-million would be allocated to technical assistance and the other

Nall1ibia applies for ll1ell1bership of IMF

NAMIBIA has applled for membership of the International Monetary Fund, the lending agency said this wE'ek. The announcement comes just ahead of President Sam Nujorila's visit to Washington where he is scheduled to meet President George Bush.

Namibia, with its estimated 1,5 milllon people, has a population density of four people per square mile, compared with Africa's average of 47. It is richer in per capita income .than many ofits neighbours, although the white population holds a disproportionate share of the wealth.

The IMF said the size of the country's economy would be measured, which would determine its quota, or stake, in the agency, before member­ship was granted. It noted that the government would have to take whatever legal steps necessary to fulfil its obligations to the fund. - Sapa­Reuter

State and business plan new forum A CONSULTATIVE business forum would be establlshed as soon as possible to promote cooperation between Gov­ernment and the private sector.

According to a press release by Enok, at a meeting between Prime Mlnlster Hage Gelngob and business leaders In Windhoek tbJs week, Gelngob said there was a need for Government to consult with the organized private sec-

tor from time to time. He noted that the authorities were looking forward to a "fruitful working partnership" with the private sectoc with collective job creation, equal employment opportuni­ties and general upllftment of Namibia's people as objectives. It was decided at the meeting that Enok would convene a gathering where Interested parties would consider founding such a forum

and determining Its terms of reference. Interaction with the Investors' confer­ence, which the Government had sched­uled for November this year, would also be reviewed.

Booze ban frustrates fans

The Sunday TlJl1es report said South African Airways subsidiary Skybird Flights plans to introduce all-inclu­sive charter trips to the resort. .

The disclosure seems to vindicate a statement released by Molani Lodge last Friday in which management categorically denied there was any intention to close the lodge.

The charters will be aimed at busi­ness people and groups in South Africa looking for an attractive and cheap venue to hold a conference.

The Skybird charters will cost as little as R899 a person for a three-day stay at Mokuti Lodge. The price includes air fares, accommodation, meals and transport inthe game park.

Skybird spokesperson Marna Grobbelaar told the Sunday Times the airline would offer charters for groups ranging from nine to 176 peqlle at a time.

The company has nine-seater twin-

engine aircraft, Dakotas, executive jets, Boeing 737s and their 176,seater Boeing 707, Skybird.

Prices would differ according to the aircraft chartered, but a fully booked 707, all inclusive, would only cost slightly more than a two-hour return flight from Cape Town to Jo~­nesburg.

The Boeing 707 would land at Grootfontein from where passengers would be taken to Mokuti by coach while smaller aircraft would land on a strip 'near the lodge.

Skybird had high praise for the Mokuti Lodge which it said was on par with the best private lodge ac­commodation available in SA game parks.

He pointed out that the Namibian tourism industry had organized a week­long promotion ofN amibian tourism in South Africa.

Local operators representing all sectors of the industry together with government officials would promote Namibia as a prime tourist destina­tion in all the major cities in 'the Republic."Although tourism has declined, our company is optimistic that the market will soon recover and' that tourism will onc~ again flou!ish to the benefit of both the private sector and Namibia's economy," Janetzky said.

ROME - IN a country renowned for its wine, World Cup fans have been reduced to toasting their teams' victories with mineral water and orange soda. The ban on alcohol sales on game days has not only frustrated fans and tou~ists but angered restaurant and bar owners across the country. It has also irritated wine producers, who as World Cup sponsors, find their dreams of promoting their products at odds with the prohibition.to drink them.

Unseemly noises unproductive WASHINGTON - THE nation's highest court left intact the conviction a nd 250 dollar fine of a man cited for preaching too loudly outside a Hagerstown, Maryland, abortion clinic. The Justice of the Supreme Court, without comment this week, refused to hear arguments that the state law used to prosecute Jerry Wayne Eanes violates free speech rights. The challenged state law makes it a crime to disturb the peace in public places "by making loud and unseemly noises". Eanes was arrested ou tside the Hagerstown Reproductive Clinic on May 18 1988 while preaching on the city sid.ewalk outside the clinic.

and the aspirations of the so far ne­glected majority of Namibians.

The public sector investment pro­granune includes a total of R400-million per year for general govern­ment inve stment in 1990-1992, with labour intensive infrastructural in­vestments such as road construction and water supplies taking the bulk of the public investment progranune.

For a variety of reasons, including serious budgetary constraints, pri­vate sector investment has a key role in utilizing Namibia's lruman resources . now wasted in unemployment and underemployment.

According to the document, the role of the State in the economy will be limited to initiating reconstruc­tion and development, redistributing incomes in favour of the less fortu­nate and safe-guarding the proper functioning of the markets.

"Government will intervene di­rectly in production mainly through parastatals and joint ventures," it says.

The aim of this is not to subsidize unprofitable enterprises in order to increase the government's sphere of ' influence, the document insists. It is

bers that the municipality's engi­neering department was responsible for rubbish removals.

Two officials from this depart­ment, A C Myburgh and L Engelbre­cht, attended yesterday'S meeting. They said a new rubbish removal system was recently established in Katutura which included the Single Quarters. According to Myburgh. rubbishremovaIs in Katutura were to be taken over by private firms, and would take place on a daily basis.

'Ibe committee welcomed the move and expressed the hope that the quar­ters will become cleaner in the near future.

Asked about improving the drain­age system, Oosthuizen said the Lecessary improvements would only

rather to take initiatives that bear too high a risk to be viable for the private sector at present.

The government is to aim at ensur­ing a more dynamic role for the pri­vate sector which" should be an engine for growth and prosperity", it s!lYs.

This would involve the elimina" tion of laws which used to limit the majority of Namibian households' access to the private sector. ; '

In. the past, for example, no single mining corporati6n was owned wholly by Namibians. This does not mPan the government is intent on a path of nationalization, says the document.

"Instead, the NamibiaJl business cOIll1l\unity is invited to participate in this vital (mining) sector."

In. order to facilitate private in-. vestment the state will increase' in­vestments in the devel<yment of water, energy and road infrastructures, wllich are critical for mining and other industries as well as manpower"'de­velopment.

"1he government will seek to eDtef into joint ventures with the private sector mainly in the areas of fishing, large-scale farming and agro-indus­tries," the document explains.

be done if the governme~t could tell the municipality its plans for the quarters. He said there were propos­als that the Single Quarters should be demolished, as had happened with the Katutura Hostel.

"I think we will only waste state money by renovating a place which ~ould be demolished after a few days. Therefore we will wait until the new government gives an answer on what their plans for the quarters are," Oosthuizen said.

About lowering rents and water and electricity tarriffs, Oosthuizen said this was receiving attention. It was agreed in April that residents would only pay R120 a month until the end of July, when a solution was, expected to be found.

Health cavalry runs into high hopes, limited funds Nurses double as rally drivers, bush-campers and plead for helicopters!

THE team of Health Ministry and Unicef officials visiting Namibia's major hospitals and clinics last week was warmly received virtually everywhere. But the smile on the ·face of Sister Sylvia Motolwana at Gobabis was brighter than most.

Or rather it was - until she realized we were not the extra immunization staff she had been led to expect. "I thought you were coming to help

with the campaign, .' she said, quickly readjusting her disappointment and leading us into the hospital.

Athough Sister Motolwana had pinned particularly high hopes on the visiting team, almost every area ap­pealed to it for help with staff.

Most health authorities, it seems, have learned to live with a staff short­age which leaves them performing a desperate juggling act with the doc-

s~~ .<'

HOW about a helicopter? Sister Tillie Strydom of Keetmanshoop hospital and Unicef's Macharia Kamau discuss the difficulties of pri.viding health services to Nam'aland's scattered, outlying communities. .

DR Norbert Forster at Opuwo hospital shows the massive areas across which his health teams have to travel in Kaokoland.

tors and nurses at their disposal. In addition, when they have worked

out how best to deploy their staff, de­ployment is not always possible. Run­ning a close second to the plea for more staff was an appeal for extra vehicles.

In Ovambo, the health authority had worked out that 27 teams were necessary to make sure the immuni­zation programme reached across the area. But it had only nine vehicles to share between the teams and if some­thing went wrong with only one of them, it would mean six different

·teams working with one vehicle.

LOCAL SOLUTIONS?

Regional Health Director Dr Nestor Shivute and Sister Loine Hamunyela of Oshakati Hospital had tried to solve the problem locally but to no avail. They had appealed for help to northern business people, but had received no reply and were even unable to borrow vehicles from other gov­ernment departments. Unfortunately, the immunization period clashes with the season when health inspectors were busy with insecticide spraying, which meant all their vehicles were also tied up. . 'Several of the hospitals have out-.

reach clinics more than 200 kilom­etres away, to say nothing of the regular mobile health services they tried to provide.

"It's hard to describe the state of some of these roads," said Sister Tillie Strydom of Keetmanshoop Hospital. "You can get appendicitis even if you have no appendix ...

She went on to pinpoint one of the

most tricky problems facing Namibia's future health service. The hospital at Keetmanshoop was large, modem . and obviously well-used. Any pa­tient who found his way into the building would most probably re­ceive high-quality treatment.

The problem lay with the small, scattered groups throughout Namaland which .were too far off the beaten track to get treatment from the area's community clinics.

"It's hard to know where to stop with mobile clinics," said Sister

,) Strydom. "The distances between these small villages are enormous and every visit ties up valuable staff ...

The problem is repeated through­out the country, wherever there are

" scattered communities, or worse, • mobile ones: It is not helped by a

Health Ministry decision to distrib­ute a fleet of newly-obtained ve­hicles according to population den­sity.

Kaokaoland has problably the small­est population per square kilometre, but some of the most unnavigable roads in the country. And even if community health workers do make the journey out to remote Himba communities, they may find the families have moved on.

JACK OF ALL TRADES

In addition to a basic manpower shortage, most authorities were also trying to stretch their staff across a number of different job descriptions. Nurses, already doubling up as rally drivers and seasoned bush-campers, also need to be skilled social workers as many of the ailments they are called in to remedy are based on social problems.

Alcoholism is one of the most de-

bilitating factors in many communi­ties. Almost every hospital visited had some story to tell about the ef­fects of alcohol abuse, and at Opuwo we saw a three-year-oid child who . couldn't walk, talk or respond to very much that happened around her. Her parents were alcoholics and she had been found · abandoned in the bush where it seemed she had spent most of her young life fending for her~elf.

Dr Luz Trinidad Banda at Khorixas hospital was also very concerned about alcoholism in the . community. She said the problem needed preventa­tive action rather than cures which barely scratched the surface.

. "People drink a cheap, home-made bi:ew which only costs 20 cents, " she said. "You can't callit 'relaxation' -it runs deeper than that. Many people ru;e 'constantly hungry and getting drunk is a kind of escape. 20 cents and they can sleep."

How to fulfil all these different roles and offer medical services to far-flung communities with the staff, time and vehicles available was always

. the question left begging at the end of the Unicef/Health Ministry visits.

When asked if there was anything she needed that she had not yet re­ceived for the immunization cam­paign, Sister Tillie Strydom at Keet­manshoop winked and said" a heli­c6pter?"

Of course it was a joke. h·,t a he­liepter was just about all _ could be of real help in the situation.

Namibia's future health plans are rightly ambitious, but are they af­fordable? The fact that the govern­ment cannot afford to supply its health areas with helicopters is understand­able, but throws some light on the size of the problems ahead.

Bought with blood REGARDING the ongoing debate about dumping/"storing" nuclear waste in Namibia:

This land was bought with the blood, sweat and tears of many people throughout many years. Prayers and human lives ~ent into its journey to independence. Now some are con­sidering using it for a rubbish dump, in exchange for money. A lot of money, to be sure. As a practising capitalist, I have a great respect for money and its uses, and few ideals can be realised without it. Neverthe­less, I believe that hiring out Namib­ian territory as a dump for lethal substances is literally selling the birthright ofNamibians for amess of pottage.

! Namibian resources of all kinds have been ravished for decades for the benefit of several countries, few of whom have put anything back into the country in exchange. Only now that foreign fleets have departed from our shores are we learning some­thing of the quantities of fish taken over the years, for instance. We shouldn't let the world use us to dispose of problems other co~tries brought upon themselves and can't or won't solve - we are worth more than money. i I have no illu sions about the hard­ships that financial deprivation can bring, and admit that I enjoy living in comfort.

But financial hardship can be combatted and overcome - at pres­ent, and for the forseeable future -

nuclear radiation cannot. I find it difficult to believe that

men and women who intend their ' children and children's children to grow up and live in Namibia, would seriously consider even the possibil­ity of selling our country for "stor­age".

Foreign teachers ALLOW me to voice my feelings on the issue of foreign teachers. I have some suggestions for our Minister of Education on this issue .. I am not opposed to foreign teachers in prin­cipal, but we must be careful about • who we choose.

Namibia has a serious unemploy­ment problem and to import foreign te8chers without first scrutinising their qualifications and competence can only create more problems. I admit we need experts in subjects like Maths, Physical Science, technical subjects and English.

We don't want the Minister to create the same problem as happened during the colonial era under Mr Peter Kalangula. When you go to any high school or training college in Ovambo you will see many Philip­pino to!achers there.

These teachers came to assist in subjects such as English, Maths and technical subjects, but their compe­tence is in question because of the high failure rates.

Some of them came to teach Eng-

THE NAMIBIAN

lish but they can't even pronounce ' the words correctly. Some refuse to teacbEnglish anymore, and are teach­ing subjects like History, Geogra­phy, Biology and so on.

They seem to have forgotten the objective for which they were brought here.

The Minister should first examine problem areas where we need help, and then we can import teachers. We don't want foreigners to come here and not take their jobs seriously.

The Government should also re­view the position of the Philippino teachers.

CONCERNED TEACHER OSHAKATI

High on beer I WOULD like to infonn you about problems we have in this region. '

The purpose of this letter is to direct an appeal to the Management of South West Breweries. They dis­tribute liquor throughout Namibia, and perhaps most depots don't have enough customers to buy the stock immediately. Sometimes one finds after drinking beer that you vo'mit or become sick, and it could be that the expiry date on the beer has long passed.

I want to appeal to SW Breweries to put expiry dates on beer bottles, so that we do not buy outdated stocks.

Expiry labels are put on most soft drinks - why not then beer?

At every border post of every crumy there is an, entrance where each and every person nmst pass through. Those .who think they have been badly treated and regarded as crooks must take note of the fact that they should not enter a country illegally.

What you should know is that the Republic of Namibia is only a few months old and it takes time to put matters in order.

The continent into which our nation was born is obsessed with the idea of freedom. The rallying cries of free­dom have awakened even sleeping people to a sense of new destiny.

Freedom is undoubtedly the hard­est-worked word in the entire vo­cabulary of politics, But freedom is not merely the ability to do what one likes, driven on by one's desires and ambitions. ,:This is a delusion. For thousands this is the me~ of free­dom, but fortunately our people are not taken in by this nonsense.

Freedom then is not the absence of outside control, but the acceptance of spiritual limiations. In modem usage the word 'freedom'.is often followed by the preposition • from' -freedom from fear, ~doni from ignorance, and so on.

Freedom is not something one possesses, such as friends. It is a by product of service and nrust be blended with obedience to prOduce responsi­bility. The truly free man is not at liberty to do as he likes. His values, his ,scruples and fundamental goals place limitations on what he can do with himself.

Freedom also implies knowledge. Man is given freedom in order to obey ~nd responsibility is the con­structi~e use of freedom. Fre~om is a burden laid upon the

backs of those strong enough to carry it. It constitutes their greatest hard­ship as well as their greatest glory.

The price of freedom is obedience, discipline and self-<ienial and the most important question of all is: what are you doing to do with it now that you've got it?

R)'k sakeman op aanklagte van betasting

Karasburg­voorvalskok 'n VOORVALop Karasburgwaarby 'nryk witsakemanen 'n 17-jarige vrou van die woonbuurt Lordsville betrokke is, het die skindertonge op die dorp behoorlik.Ios.

Die inwonersvan die sogenaamde kleurlingwoonbuurt is die josie in vir die sakeman en boer, wat na bewer­ing die vrou in die openbaar ' 'bevoel en betas en haar vemeder het' , nadat haar geld in die proses ook afgevat is.

Nou moet die sakeman, wat die eienaar is van 'n winkel op die dorp, hof toe om te antwoord op aanklagte van betasting en diefstal. En hieroor is die hele dorp in oproer.

V olgens Focus se bron op die dorp kom dit v~~r asof sekere invloedryke mense poog om die "saak toe te smeer" nadat 'n ontmoeting tussen die vrou, haar voog en koshuisvader, Abe ' de Klerk, en die skoolhoof, Mannetjie eloete, glo gereel is.

Daar is pro beer om hulle te vra om die saak terup' t,. 'rek en te "skik", maar daarvoo _" hulle te vinde nie.

Intussen is die saak warm op die lippe van die mense van Karasburg nadat dit bekend geword het op die dorp dat die saak Maandag, 25 Junie, in die landdroshof sal dien.

N a wat vemeem word, het die meisie, wat nie geidentifiseer kan word nie weens haar jong ouderdom en die feit dat die saak baie vemeder­end is, op 18 April vanjaar die winkel op Karasburg besoek om inkopies te doen.

Sy het R5,50 in haar besit gehad en het items in die winkel geneem en na die betaalpunt beweeg. Daar het sy uitgevind dat sy te min geld gehad het vir die goedere wat sy geneem

het, waarrui sy besluit het om van die items terug te plaas op die ralc.

Toe sy na die rak beweeg, het die eienaar van die winkel op die toneel verskyn en haar daarvan beskuldig dat sy wou steel.

Hy sou aan haar gese het "julle is gewoond daaraan om te steel".

Die winkelier het voortgegaan om op 'n buffelagtige wyse die geld in die vrou se be sit afte vat. Al die goed wat sy wou koop, is ook afgevat.

Hierna is die vrou na bewering v~~r die mense in die winkel' 'betas en bevoel" in 'n klaarblyklike pog­ing om vas te stel of sy goedere onder haar klere versteek het.

'n Polisieman het die voorval dopgehou en hy sal moontlik as getuie in die saak optree. Dis nie bekend hoeveel ander mense die voorval gesien het nie. .

Die vemederde vrou het die aangeleentheid aan haar koshuisvader, De Klerk, geskets, en die het saam met haar na die polisiestasie gegaan en 'n klag gele. De Klerk sou ook glo 'n beedigde verklaring afgele het, maar die vrou moes dit later self doen nadat dinge uitgestryk is.

Toe De Klerk en die vrou deur invloedrykes op die dorp ingeroep is in 'n poging om die saak buite die hof te skik, omdat die winkelier 'n "ander weergawe" het, het eloete na bew­ering ingegryp en aangedring daarop dat die saak in die hof beslis moet word.

Vir die rekord ELKE persoon is geregtig op ten minste vyf minute van roem, en Stanley Katzao het syne gehad. 'n Berig in gister se uitgawe van The Namibian Focus, wat op bladsy 8 verskyn het, se opskrif het gelees 'Stanley Katzao op Mariental', terwyl 'Gestremdes neem inisiatief' eintlik die opskrif moes gewees het. Die fout is deuT'n bladuitleg-operateur gemaak, en The Namibian Focus teken apologie aan.

Die voorval hel ongelukkigheid op die dorp veroorsaak en gister 86 uitg~kring dat 'n groot aantal mense by die beplande vergadering verwag word.

Daarenleen voel die wit amptenare dat dit hul private klub is en dat hulle kan kies met wie hulle wi! meng. Maritz het vandeesweek volgehou dat hy nie apartheid toepas nie.

AANGESIEN die Regering van mening is dat die Wet op Raadgewers en Streeksverteenwoordigers konstitusioneel is, word daar rustig voortgegaan om dit te implementeer.

S6 het die Minister van Behuising enPlaaslike Owerhede, dr. Libertine Amathila, gister die dreigement van die DTA-voorsitter, Dirk Mudge, begroet.

Dit volg nadat Mudge Maandag aangehaal is as sou hy gese het dat die DT A sal voortgaan om die wet, waarteen die party in die Nasionale Vergadering (NY) gestem het, vir 'n regsmening te verwys.

Die DT A het reeds die dreige­mente in die NY gemaak by monde van Mudge en die hoof van die NY­afvaardiging, Mishake Muyongo, toe Swapo en ander saakmakende op­posisie-partye die wet met gemak deurgevoer het.

Die wet, waarteen kapsie gemaak word, gee die President die mandaat om raadgewers en verteenwoordigers in streke aan te stel, wat die beleid van die Regering in die bepaalde

gebiede moet vertolk en probleme moet aanhoor, wat dan vinnig na die sentrale regering deurgevoer kan word vir handeling.

Intussenhet President Sam Nujoma die wet onderteken en die aanwysing van verteenwoordigers en raadgew- y

ers is naby. ' Die DT A het aangevoer dat dit

onkonstitusioneel is omdat die mense na bewering dan "ondemokraties" aangewys sal word - 'n plek wat deur die Nasionale Raad ingeneem moet word.

Die Regering het verduidelik dat die streeksverteenwoordigers nie mense in die gebiede sal verteen­woordignie, maar die Regering en sy beleid sal gaan vertolk.

Toe sy oor die aangeleentheid genaderis, het Amathila gese die NY het die wet met 'n meerderheidstem deurgevoer en dat die Regering rus-

tig sal voortgaan om dit te imple­menteer.

.. As hulle hof toe wil gaan, is dit lru1 goeie reg ... Ons dinknie dis onkoo.­stitusioneel nie. "

,V olgens haar het die kwessie van die aanwysing van die verteenwoor­digers in die streke nie by gister se Kabinetsitting gedien nie, maar "dit sal definitief aanstaande Dinsdag op die agenda wees", het sy bygevoeg.

Volgens haar sal dit goed wees' indien President Nujoma self teen­woordig is.

Gevra hoe die streke daaruit sal sien, het Amathila gese Swapo sal aanvanklik die bestaande streke gebruik am in te werk.

Ook sal die Regering nie in alle streke verteenwoordigers aanstel nie. Die President sal na goeddunke besluit watter streke verteenwoordigers nodig het, het sy gese.

Staking duur voort V AKBONDLEIERS van Natau het gister samesprekings met die stakende padwerkers van die Departement van Vervoer op Bethanien gehad oor hul griewe om te kyk op watter wyse hulle bygestaan kan word.

S6 het 'n woordvoerder van die werkers gister uit die Suide berig.

Dit- volg nadat sowat 38 werkers van Vervoer 'n staking wat op 11 Junie begin het oor die griewe wat die swart werkers het, Maandag her­vat is.

V olgens 'n mededeling Maandag kom die staking te middevan groeiende ongelukkigheid oor wit besture, wat daarvan beskuidig ' word dat hulle rassediskriminasie toepas en uit hul pad gaan om die Swapo-regering deur 'n obstruktiewe houding in die ver­leentheid te probeer plaas.

In die proses voel die werkers ook dat hul griewe-dokument, wat cpgestel en na die streekshoofkantoor op Keetmanshoop gestuur is, nie aandag gekry het nie, en dat die aangeleen­theid deur die Vervoerhoofde geignoreer word.

Die werkers eis ook 'n kommissie van ondersoek om alle abnormal­iteite in die Departement na te gaan en dinge reg te stet. Veral in distrikte soos Bethanien, Aus, Witputs en ander plekke in die Suidwestelike streek, word probleme deur die werkers ondervind.

Gister het die werkers, wat nie tevrede is met die wyse waarop hul probleme benader word nie , voortgegaan met die staking. Hulle het volgehou dat hulle nie na hul werk wil terugkeer me totdat die krisis behoorlik aangespreek is.

Intussen is vemeem dat Vervoer se hoofde die werkers dreig met 'n hofsaak, as sou hul staking onwettig wees.

Dis nie bekend wat die uitslag van die konflik op Bethanien sal wees nie ~n en die vakbondleiers het lru1 hande vol probleme.

Zambia, here we come! DONNA COLLINS

JUST when I thought motorsport in this country was hitting an aII­time low, the Namibia Motorsport Federation made an announcement this week which sent ripples of excitement through Windhoek's motoring circles, giving a whole new meaning to the word 'raUy'.

In short, three of Namibia's top rally teams have been invited by the Zambia Motorsport Federation to compete in the Zambia International Rally being held at the end of this mbnth. This out-of-the-blue offer is not on! y the. first since our independ­ence, but is a carte blanche opening for our local motorsport competitors to tackle the internation! arena.

The three teams are: Theo Coetzee and Willem Hugo driving a Nissan Skyline; Victor Kulikowsky and'Theo Becker in their VW Golf; and Jan Kritzinger and Flip Nel driving a Toyota CAolla. Tom Rowntree has been officially invited to act as Ll).e international steward for the dura­tion of the rally - somewhat of an honour.

The Zambia International Rally starts Friday June 29 and ends Mon­day July 2, also the long weekend that commemorates heroes ar..d unity

in that country. Known as the Zambia Safari Rally,

it covers a vast route of 1 800 kilom­etres which stretches from the south to the west of the country. The route not only promises to be scenic, but also guarantees to test the skills of both driver and navigator, not to mention their vehicles.

: So far about 35 teams have entered which includes those from Zambia, Botswana, Kenya, Namibia and the possibility of European teams, one in palticular an all-women team driv­ing an Audi Quatro.

NAMIBIA COMPETING

According to chairperson of the Namibia Motorsport Federation Anrulf Schmidt, it is high time Namibia was able to compete with other African countries. He also'mentioned that a southern African committee will soon

FIRM favourites Theo Coetzee and Willem Hugo who will be driving their Nissan Skyline in the Zambia International Rally.

be formed to include regular compe­tition between Zambia, Zintbabwe, Botswana and, of course, Namibia.

These four countries will respec­tively host one international rally annually, which will count towards local championship points. This also means we will be cutting down our local rallies, but he firmly believes in going for quality rather than quan­tity.

The .President of th~ Zambia Mo­torsport Federation, Guru Singh, who extended the'invitation to Namibia, has generously offered to finance our three teams throughout their stay in

his coUntry. However, this entire exercise does not only start in Zanl­bia.

Our three teams and their entou­rage of service crew will be leaving Windhoek in their rally cars on the evening of June 27, which in itself is a cool 1 900 kilometres to their des­tinatiOIL This stage of their trip, up to the border with Zambia, has been generously sponsored by local mo­toring magnate Jurgen Engling, who has put his hand in his pocket to the tune of more than R5 000 for petrol'

ri.al rather than highly tuned. ma­chines t.ha,t are capable of being driven under some of the toughest condi­tions.

For instance, Theo Coetzee and Willem Hugo experienced a double dose of trouble and have had to re­place not only their clutch but acrank shaft which snapped. But they are quite convinced their Nissan will be in a. super-fit condition to tackle the Zambian rally, and once again give their competitors a run for their money.

But worst of all is Jan Kritzinger' s Toyota which blew its· engine at the weekend. However, Jan, being an· eternal optimist, assured me that the. engi:le is being re-built for the big occasion, and "moenie worry nie", it will be ready to roll when the time comes.

Chatting to all three teamS this week it was evident they could hardly contain their excitement. . This will be their first time to compete in an African country, and for all of them a first visit to Zambia.

"This is a great honour and a wonderful opportuni~y to put Na­mibianmotorsport on the map, " said Jan Kritzinger. "We are indeed lucky to have been chosen by the Namibia Motorsport Federation to represent our country, which means we are not only the country's top rally teams, but we will also be. ambassadors for Namibia," he added.

Victor Kulikowsky went on to say that generally the standard of rally­ing is high in Namibia, and the pos­sibility of anyone of them being placed among the first five is not unlikely.

"Obviously our results depend upon the circumstances, for instance, we· have never driven their routes and are unfamiliar with the Zambian ter­rain, which could be a disadvantage in some cases. However, we'll cer­tainly give it our best shot," Victor concluded.

(GOBABIS RALLyJ ONLYten competltors ·showed up at this weekend's Suldwes.Garage Rally held at Gobabls, but judging by the amount of serious damages Incurred to some of the vehicles, the guys gave It a full tonk out there. From the orlglnalline.up only six cars finished, with one vehicle blowing Its englne ... what fun.

The rally was run over 10 stages, and kicked off at 10hOO with Tlffy van der Heever an<J navigator Adolf Botes clinching the winning siot In their 2.S Toyota Corolla. Victor Kulikowsky and navigator Theo Becker took a close second In their VW Golf and third place went to Karl·Helnz Pretorlus and ArnulfSchmldt in a 1600 Escort.

The day was not without Its usual drama, which did not except two newcom­ers, Garth and Peter, who hit a ditch at high speed, damaging their front suspension and causing one of their shock absorbers to emerge through the bonnet of their car. Jan Krltzlnger, who has been invited to compete in the Zambia International Rally at the end of the month, was not prepared for a blown engine which occurred In the fourth stage, after his Corolla lost the use of its oil pump. Bad luck, guys.

Firm favourites Theo Coetzee and Wllem Hugo in their Nissan Skyline expe­rienced clutch problems during-the second stage, which put a spanner in their works. Despite this problem they pushed on relentlessly but three stages later their car snapped a crankshaft, putting a final end to their day.

Also in the fifth stage Gabrielson and Gunther experienced a broken lower control arm while travelling at high speed, and retired with front suspension problems. Despite all this havoc, the guys had a good time, the route was good and never let it be said that Namibian drivers arn

THE FORD COURIER 2000:

You can take this one anywhere, even to the mayor's tea-party

DONNA COLLINS

MY first experience of driving a Ford bakkie was in one of those . monstrous F100 jobs, with a bonnet large enough to have a picnic o~ and an engine mean enough to withstand those rough, unshaven Texas cattleranchers.

But that was a long time ago, and as we all know time changes every­thing, even Ford's pick-up trucks. Today things look a lot tamer, and to say the Ford Courier is one of the most streamlined bakkies on the road today is no uaggeration.

With strict instructions to enjoy myself (and the bakkie, of course) Jan Gous of Novel Ford threw the keys to a Ford Courier 2000 at me, and sent me onmymeny way. There's nothing like having a vehicle such as this at your disposal and nowhere to go, so I decided to change alltha~ and head down to Sossusvlei for a wicked weekend.

TIle basic package of the' Courier 2000 LWB is quite tempting. Not only does it have the largest cab area of all the one-tonne bCVs, being produced in South Africa, but it has an energetic four-cylinder engine, and a five-speed manual gearbox.

The shape of the Courier is unlike its distant American cousins, which is large and cumbersome, but instead is compact with a rugged, purposeful appearance. The Courier has been designed not only for comfort but functionability as well, suiting a wide section of the market from the seri­ous bakkie-owner to the housewife.

The two-litre engine is full of pep, with fast accelleration and a top speed of l80, making crusing at -l 50 plain sailing. Road handling is secure even at high speed, both on and off gravel roads. It has, however, been equipped with a double strength chassis and independent suspension, to take that extra punch.

Tackling dirt roads, dongas and desert, was easy for the Courier which was obviously designed for the rough and tough, and let's face it - some road conditions can put any vehicle to the test.

Somehow this bakkie never flinched, handling each obstacle with ease, and still offering a smooth, comfortable ride.

The loadbox itself is roomy and boasts of maximum loadable space in both the long and short beds. It is of conventionally rugged design with a ribbed floor, box-shaped wheel arches and interior panels for easy replacement in the event of damage. Needless to say, it is large enough to sleep two quite comfortably.

The Courier's interior is based on passenger vehicle style. The bench­type seat has a cutaway for the floor­mounted gearlever, and is covered in a vinyl cloth-type pattern. The easy­to-read instrument panel is simple, with no rev counter or clock included. The dashboard includes a glovebox and a four-speed fan ventilation and heater system which is most effec­tive.

_ The seating arrangement is as com­fortable as your favourite sofa, even after a stretch of more than 500 kil­ometres. And with the windows up and the ventilation on, the Courier offers a quiet, pleasant ride on a long journey.

All in all the Ford Courier is a bakkie which not only offers itself as a solid and reliable workhorse, but it is stylish enough to take to the mayor's tea-party.

SLEEK but rugged, the Ford Courier 2000 is built for the serious bakkie user and is tough enough to take the punch.

EGYPT'S GREATEST MOMENT: Egyptian hero Magdy Abed el Ghany celebrates with team-mate Gamad Abed AI Hamid after the former scored his team's equalizing goal against the Netherlands in their Group F World Cup opening game. The match ended in a:;suprise I-I draw. (Photograph by Agence France-Presse) . -

I NEED TIME, SAYS GULLIT DUTCH captain Ruud Gullit said on Monday he needed more time to recapture peak form after a year out of the game with a knee injury.

" You want to do more but you can't. It ' s frustrating, but it's reality, " he said.

"I need much more time. The tournament didn't come at the right time for me, but that's not important. ' ,

Gullit played his first full game after his injury lay-off only last month, and said before the World Cup it would be six months before he regained peak: condition.

BALINT LIFTS ROMANIA STRIKER Gavril Balint grabbed an equalizer with 20 minutes remaIn­ing Monday to lift Romania into a I-I draw with Argentina that clinched both teams a place in the second round of the World Cup.

The crucial Romanian goal came in the 69th minute, when mid-fielder loan Sabaj headed a cross from forward· Marius Lacatus across the goal­mouth to pull the Argentine defense out of positior~

Balint only had to head the ball over a defender into the empty net. Romania qualified for the secoRd round of the championship for the first time in five attempts.

URUGUAY TO GO FULL FORCE URUGUAY have to pull themselves O,ut of a deep depression to stay in the World Cup beyond their final opening round match against South Korea on Thursday. .

" Wehave to score the goals we haven't got yet, " said striker RubenSosa. "Now it's not enough to play well, we have to score."

Captain Enzo Francescoli added: ,. Against Korea, it will be like a final for us ."

After a goalless draw against Spain and a 3-1 defeat by Belgium, Uruguay must beat the Koreans by a wide margin to go through to the second round.

RUSSIA BOWS OUT OF CUP THE Soviet Union thrashed Cameroon 4-0 in their third and final World Cup match on Monday but it was too late to prevent the Soviets being eliminated and Cameroon winning Group B of the first round.

Oleg Protasov and Andrei Zygmantovic scored in the first half and substitute Alexander Zavarov and Igor Dobrovolsky added two more in the second to restore some pride for the Soviet airer two defeats against Romania and Argentina.

But the Soviet Union, once one of the most favoured teams, went out of the competition because Romania and Argentina's 1-1 draw in Naples gave them each three points and left the Soviets bottom of the group on two points.

MATTHAEUS 'CRAZY BUT FUN' LOTHAR Matthaeus says he's crazy but fun. Rudi Voeller claims he's one of the top World Cup attractions. But Juergen Klinsmann wouldn't want to play on the same team with him.

The West German players were abuzz about the chance to plily against maverick Colombian goalkeeper Rene Higuita in yesterday'S World Cup Group D·match.

Higuita, a crowd-pleaser for the Nacional Medellein club, is considered the sweeper for the Colombian team, although he lines up as a goalkeeper.

• 'He's an additional defender, " said West German manager Franz Beck­enbauer. "He's unique and I believe he could caus.e my forwards a few problems.' ,

THE NAMIBIAN

NOT TillS TIME: Colombian goalkeeper Jose Higuita thwarts Yugoslavian Darko Panvec's chances of scoring during the latter's 1-0 World Cup Group D win over the gutsy Colombians in Bologna.

THREE times Wimbledon champion and grass-court master, Boris Becker, who is seeded second after Ivan Lendl who beat him at the weekend, has pulled out of his last tournament before Wimbledon to give himself another week's practice. The 21-year-old West German, considered by many the world's best grass player, was expected to enter the six-strong Wentworth Classic before starting his Wimbledon title defence next week. But a tournament spokesperson said: "Boris has withdrawn for reasons associated with his preparations for the Wimbledon championship." Former champion John McEnroe of the United States got the biggest boost from the organisers when he was seeded fourth. Edberg, the 1988 winner and last year's runner-up, was seeded third.

TOUGH TIME AHEAD FOR· IVAN LENDL

LONDON - Ivan Lendl of Czechoslovakia, the world number one, could have. to defeat both Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg to win the Wimbledon singles title for the first time this year.

In the draw made on Tuesday for the championships which begin next week, the top-seeded Lendl was given a projected semi-final against Edberg, the third-seeded Swede who won the title in 1988 and who was the beaten fmalist last year.

In the other half of the draw, sec­ond-seeded Becker, the West Ger­man who won for the third time last year, was given a possible semi-final against another three-times cham­pion,John McEnroe of the United States, who was surprisingly seeded fourth on Monday.

Lendl trounced Becker 6-36-2 in the final of the Queen's Club tourna­ment in London on Sunday and has been installed.as the favourite to win the Wimbledon title when the final is played on July 8.

Lendl will begin his campaign on Monday against Christian Miniussi ' of Argentina, while Edberg will face Omar Camporese of Italy.

The first seed Lendl will meet will be 15th-seeded Frenchman Henri Leconte in the fourth round, while at the sanle stage Edberg should meet

13th seed Michael Chang, the Ameri­can teenager who beat him in the final of the 1989 French Open.

McEnroe was given a testing qxmer against compatriot Derek Rostagno, who almost beat Becker at last year's US Open, and if he survives that he could come up against either one of the American seeds, number six Tim Mayotte or number 12 Pete Sampras, in the quarter-finals.

Becker begins against a qualifier still to be determined and his first seeded rival should be Frenchman YannickNoah of France, the number 16, in the fourth round. Noah also starts off against a qualifier.

In the women's singles, titleholder and world number one Steffi Graf fuces the p~ of a semifinal against Mq.ruca Seles, the third-seeded Yu­goslav who beat her in the recent finals of the West Geffilall and French Opens.

Graf must also contend in the fourth round with spectacular American 14-year-old Jennifer Capriati, the 12th seed who reached the French Open semi-finals after being unseeded before

losing to Seles. Capriati, however, has a first round

encounter with Canadian Helen Kelesi, who almost beat Seles in Paris.

Second-seeded Martina Navrati­lova of the United States got the luck of the draw by avoiding Seles in the last four, where she would now have to play fourth seed Gabriela Sabatini of Argentina.

Graf's first match will be against compatriot Oaudia Porwik, while Seles meets Maria Strandlund in the opening round.

Navratilova, the champion eight times, had the best of draws, begin­ning against Sophie Arniach of France and with little danger to confront

. before the last eight, when she could face either Katerina Maleeva of Bulgaria or American Mary Joe Fer­nandez, the seventh and ninth seeds.

Sabatini should have a tougher time, opening against determined Ameri­can Elise Burgin and with a probably fourth-round match against US-based South African Ros Fairbank, the 15th seed.

In the quarter-finals she could face either Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario of Spain or Russian Natalia Zvereva, the sixth and 11th seeds who were drawn to clash in the fourth round.

WEST GERMANY ALMOST HAD CLEAN RECORD

MILAN - TWO goals in the dying minutes left West Germany and Colombia all square at I-I in a last bruising encounter in Group D of the World Cup yesterday, while Yugoslavia defeated the United Arab Emirates 4-1.

For West Germany, second half substitute Pierre Littbarski appeared to have sealed it for his team with an 89th minute strike which would have given the title favourites a 100 per cent first round record.

But Colombia hit back three min­utes into injury time when Freddy Rincon charged into the penalty box and fired a sho~ beneath goalkeeper Bodo IUgner. Itwas a dramatic end to one of the most rugged matches <;>f the tournament in whlchfourplayers - tlu'ee from Colombia - were booked.

West Germany topped the. group with five points following outstand-

ing 4-1 and 5-1 wins over Yugoslavia and the United Arab Emirates.

Colombia, who beat the UAE 2-0 but lost 1-0 to Yugoslavia, fullshed with three points which were enough to take them through to the last 16 as one of the best third-placed frnishers.

For Yugoslavia, newcomer Darko Pancev scored two goals as the East European team beat the United Arab Emirates 4-1 and . advanced to the second round. Yugoslavia ended in , second place with four points ..

Pancev scored in .the 9th 1\Od 46th, min~te. Safet Susie <;1:1 so scored in the . 5th minute and second-half sui:)sti-

tute Robert Prosineck tallied in the closing seconds of injury time.

Ali Thani Juma'a scored the UAB's goal in the 22nd minute. The U AE finished the game with 10 players after Japanese referee Shizou Takada sent off defender Khaleel Ghanem Mubarak in the 75th minute for re­taliating. ...

Namib South come close to shocking touring French 15

KEETMANSHOOP - The elements became the home team's aUy, as the touring French team scraped to a narrow 16-12 win over the Namib South XV in the second match of their five-match tour at Keetmanshoop on Tuesday. '

The tourists had to stage a second half comeback, with the home team using the strong wind to take a commanding 12-3 lead at halftime.

With the French backs struggling to come to grips with the elements, it was left up to the huge visiting pack to pull them through.

It was the first ever international Rugby Union game in the South of Namibia and the local players, with a few imports from Windhoek, made the best of this one chance - almost causing a major upset. The Namib South team scored the first points of the game, when centre Theo Blaauw scored after the French fullback Frederic Velo failed to control an up and under from fiyhalf Nico Horn. The home team's pack surprised all and sundry when they took the huge French men on up front, ensuring a steady fiow of quality possession. In the second half the French pack played better rugby, but battled to penetrate the solid defense of the home side.

The French did not hesitate to run the baU, but many promising moves failed to produce points, when bad handling and a lack of support disrupted their rhythm. For the home team fullback Tiaan Steenkamp played a good game, while the local loose forwards - Erilc van der Merwe, Jasper Engelbrecht and Pieter von Wielligh - produced the best display in the pack. The big lock Arno Kotze again played a good game, as he did for Namibia B against the French at the weekend.

Kotze was almost rewarded for his hard work, when he scored a tryon the stroke of halftime, but referee Piet Theunisen ruled that the pass had gone forward. Despite good second half posession from the forwards, the French backs had little to offer and they must thank their forwards for the win. The big fianker Marc Cecillion, a stalwart in the full French national squad, was always prominent in tbedriving moves.

For France Cecillion and fullback Frederic Velo scored tries, while Velo added a conversion and two penalties. For Namib South centre Theo Blaauw scored his team's only try, which wing Doug Jeffrey converted. Jeffrey added a penalty, while flyhalf Nico Horn scored a drop goal.

Namibia's national side meet France in the first of two internationals in Windhoek on Saturday. - Sapa

US OPEN FULL OF TWISTS

THE 1990 US Open golf championship was full of unexpected twists, with Hale Irwin providing the biggest surpri5e by snatching victory after a play-off against fellow-American Mike Donald. Former champion, Curtis Strange (pictured above), wh:> tried to become the first player in 85 years to win a third straight open title, pulled to within two shots after three rounds before slumping to a final-round 75. The 45-year-old Irwin bucked the odds to become

}he tournament's oldest winner, of one tournament in 11 years on " the US tour, battled through 19 pressure-pack~ boles in swirling

FATHER AND SON TO COMBINE A FATHER and son will combine on Saturday when Namibia and a French XV meets in a Rugby Union international in Windhoek.

The Namibianselectors made two changes to the side for this first of two internationals against the French XV~ The 27 -year-old flyhalf from the United Club, Moolman Olivier, has been drafted into the side at the expense of regular Shaun M.:Culley, who has failed to live up to expectations this season. •

The other newcomer is Henning Snyman, son of the coach Henning Snyman, who replaces the injured Johan Deysel at centre. This will put Namibia in the unique situation with the father/son combination opposing the French side. The Namibian captain and right-wing Gerhard Mans is still battling with a hamstring injury and will only make a final decision on his fitness by Thursday. , The team: Jaco Coetzee, Ben Swartz, Vince du Toit, Henning Snyman" Gerhard Mans (captain), Moolman Olivier, Basie Buitendag, Casper Derks, Stephan Smit, Manie Grobbler, Johan Barnard, Arra van der Merwe, Sarel Losper, Alex Skinner, Theo Oosthuizen.

Reserves: Ben Btiukes, Grove Smit, Jasper Coetzee, Japie Vermaak, Joban SWat1:, Doug JeffIty. '

HATELY PREPARES FOR RANGERS MONACO'S English' striker Mark Hately is expected to sign for Scottish soccer champions Glasgow Rangers later this week, the French First Division club said yesterday.

" Hately is to undergo a fitness test in Glasgow on Thursday before signing. But he is in top shape," said Monaco manager Henri Biancheri. He said a provisional agreement had been reached between the two clubs and Hately would sign, a four-year contract. The transfer fee has not been disclosed.

The 28-year-old former England international joined Monaco on a ,three­year contract in 1987 from Italy's AC Milan. His early career was spent with Portsmouth. '

BRELAND TO FACE DAVIS FORMER Olympic gold medalist Mark Breland will defend his World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight title here July 8 against unbeaten Aaron Davis, the North American Boxing Federation welterweight champ:

Breland, 27-1-1 with 20 knockouts, won the Olympic goldmedalinthe 1984 summer games fighting in the 147-pound class. Davis is unbeaten in 28 professional fights with ,17 knockouts. He is ranked number 7 in the WBA, number 3 by the World Boxing Council (WBC) and number 2 by the International Boxing Federation (IBF).

KIEFf A BORDEAux PLAYER - FOR SURE PSV Eindhoven striker Wim Kieft, the Netherland's only goalscor.er in their first two World Cup games, is set to join Bordeaux, the French club said yesterday.

NFA PREPARES TO MEET MAURITIUS

WITH the tour of the Mauritius na­tional soccer team just around the corner, the Namibian national team selectors still sit with the problem to select a formidable side.

TheN amibia Football Association (NFA), the organisers and hosts of the international friendly, will have a mammoth task to choose a strong team which will try to restore the country's lost pride wl1enN amibia is expected to play Mauritius next weekend.

The local lads, who still have to make their mark in international soccer, will have to cope with the problem of not having sufficient time for preparation, and, most important of all, not enough time to get used to one another. .

It is widely expected that our soc­cer officials will try to make a suc­cess of the Mauritius visit, and that they will also try to avoid the mis­takes which were made during the independence celebrations.

Our shadow national team, which was selected at very short notice, was destroyed 6-1 by the visiting Zim­babweans,a score I still think we would never have seen if the selec­tion was done on a national basis.

All the players were then picked from Windhoek-based teams, leav­ing other players that deserved a berth in the national side out in the cold.

TItis time the newly-elected NFA executive will take care with the selection of the team, but some crit­ics have it that the proposed time for preparation (one week) is just not enough for the players.

It will not be an easy task for coach Alberth Louw and his deputy, Hasso Ahrens, to get a winning combina­tion and to implement new tactics in order to build a formidable team in only a week's time.

It will, however, be interesting to see how the local players will stand up against Mauritius as it will be the first time they will be together in a training camp.

All the different First Division regions, with the exception of the Far North which has no representative in the NFA, will send two players for the trials which will be held at the " Rossing Country Club near Swakopmund next weekend.

The Western regioris, because of thei'r many talented players, were,

however, asked to send three play-

ers. " The Premier League players who

were selected for the trials are: Goal­keepers: Sparks Gottlieb (Eleven Arrows), Peter Schweitzer (SKW); ,

,Defenders: Brian Greeves, Doc Naomab (both Sarusas Orlando Pi­rates), Ngenny Emvula (Eleven Ar­rows), Daniel Lovey Uushona (Ben­fica), and Ndapewa Bricks Hangula (BS Tigers); Mid-fielders: Bernhardt Diocotlhe, Eric Quest (both Nashua Black Africa), Milla Gertze (Explorer XI), Samuel Pecks Uushona, Gos­berth Sikerete (Cuca Tops); Forwards: Kosie Springbok (SW A Toyota Young Ones), Franz Forresta Nickodemus (BS Tigers), Steven Damaseb (Saru-

sas Orlando Pirates) and Chris Schweitzer (SKW).

Not a bad choice at all, but one expected of the officials to judge some of the players on their current form and not on their past perform­ances.

The Namibian Sport, in coopera­tion with other soccer reporters and experts, will compile its own "shadow national team". So don't miss Fri-

. day's edition. * Meanwhile, it was announced

that the Central First Division will stage its trials for the main curtain­racer against the Southern Region at the David Bezuidenhout High School opposite the Academy in Khomasdal.

All informed players, according to co-ordinator of the trials Ben Uanivi, are asked to be punctual. The prac­tice time is scheduled for19hOO.
