Bringing Africa South

S,O

KATE BURLING

MANY people in the south are staring starvation in the face, and fears have been expressed that the situation is set to worsen.

A bleak picture of starvation and despair was brought back from the area this weekend by a Namibia Developmenf Trust (NDT) team which visited the south on a 'fact-finding nussion'. .

"People in the rural areas are re-ally starving and the situation can only get worse," said Sikunawa Netumbo, one of the NDT delega-tion. "Within a couple of months the situation could be beyond repair and there needs to be an urgent inquiry. ' ,

Subsistence livestock fanners are being forced to sell off their sheep and goats in order to get money for food, clothing and education. But their plight is well-known to bigger farmers buying up the livestock, as auction-bidding figures show.

According to Steven Isaack, an-other NDT worker, animals which should fetch at least R80 are being sold for as little as R15. With no option but to sell, the small-scale farmers are being forced into deeper poverty by people with a merciless · eye for profit. .

In addition, things . do not look good for the stock which the small farmers have kept.

Rains in the area have not been good and animals are starling to die -from a lack of food. With most of their stock sold at rock-bottom prices and the rest of it in danger of starv-ing,. rural families face increasing poverty and acute food Shortages.

"The situation has · occurred be-cause of the absence of markets for . the small-scale farmer," said Netumbo. "There is. nowhere for the farmers to sell their produce at de-cent prices and so tliey are beaten into these ridiculously low deals. "

Apparently the Ministry of Agri-culture has been approached about the creation of accessible markets, and accordirig to Netumbo - an agric-ulturalist himself - such markets would definitely be viable.

Renewed appeals have also been made to the Ministry over the issue of ~ minimum wage for farmwork-ers.

Wits students drown

TWO . students from the University of the Witwatersrand this week drowned in the waters of the Kunene river, ' after ignoring it refusal by Nature Conservation for their group to canoe down the river.

The two students, Duncan longm-ore and Kirsten Klingenberg, were part of a group of 13 students from Wits who embarked on a canoe/raft- . ing trip down the Kunr¢, or had not been received. and the 13 · canoeists had finally embarked on their journey from Ruacana.

Ayre said that · at a place called Viu~i, halfway to Epupa, one raft had appareritly capsized going down a fall and two students, Longmore and Klingenberg, drowned. Of the other three on board, one had to be given artificial respiration but could he pulled through. A tourist had taken the survivors to Epupa, he said.

The rest of the group, he added, were still waiting at Otjinunga for the rafts to arrive. However, he had sent a man down there to inform them of the accident which culmi-nated in the death of two of their colleagues.

HAVANA - Spain and Czechoslovakia are tightening security at their embassies in Havana foUowing incidents involving Cuban asylum-seekers last week, diplomatic sources said on Monday.

They said Czechslovakia had also flown a senior diplomat to Cuba to help defuse a tense stand-off with Cuba's communist authorities over 12 Cubans sheltering at the Czecho-slovak embassy.

Spani'sh diplomatic sources said four officers from the Special Opera-tions Group (GEO) of the Spanish police were expected to arrive in Cuba within the next few days to help protect the embassy.

Three Cubans are currently shel-, tering inside the Spanish mission.

A fourth who tried to enter on Friday was seized inside the em-

The Namibian Police also reported yesterday that goods worth more than R140 000 were stolen countrywide at the weekend. Goods worth RS4 000 were stolen at Swakopmund, while items valued at nearly RSO 000 were stolen in Windhoek. The stolen items included cars, radios and other household appliances. Thieves and burglars also got away with goods worth tens of thousands of rand at Gobabis, Tsumeb, Rundu, Keetmanshoop and Mariental. , The Namibian Police are also investigating several cases of assault, rape and illegal poaching.

New links with Angola explored NAMIBIA'S deputy minister of Works, Transport and Communications, Klaus Dierks, has left for Angola to hold official talks with his Angolan counterpart on the reopening of the Namibe transport system. '

Before leaving, Dierks said the government regarded the Namibe corridor in southern Angola as very important because, the harbour at N amibe was far better and nearer to northern Namibia than the port enclave of Walvis Bay.

He said Namibe could serve as an alternative route to the open sea in view of the disputed status of Walvis Bay.

Dierks added that the projeqt to link Namibia and Angola by rail and road would be partly or entirely financed by the World Bank.

The deputy minister is accompanied by the Angolan ambassador to Na'-mibia, Dr A Ribeiro.

Police find weapons at . ,Kavango Enok office A LARGE quantity of arms and ammunition was found hidden in an Enok office at Omankette in the Kavango by the Namibian Police on Saturday.

The police went to Omankette to investigate after they had been informed by loc'at residents that weapons were being hidaen in one of the offices at the Enok complex. .

Eleven" Commando' , automatic pistols, six bullet-proof vests, 20 maga-zines, 200 rounds of ammunition, 32 rounds of FN ammunition and 40 rounds of 375 rifle ammunition were later found in th6 office.

Police also found a number of SADF uniforms and overalls as well as boots in the office.

Inspector Sankwafa Bollen of the Rundu police saidno arrests were made in connection' with the, arms find.

All the weaponry was, however, confiscated and is being held by the Rundu police until further instructions are received from the Ministry of Home Affairs.

According to Inspector Bollen the manager of the office, Louw Botha, first refused to allow the police to, search the premises without a search warrant.

The police had to leave men on guard at the office while they went off in search of a state prosecutor who could sign a search warrant.

After failing to fmd a prosecutor the police managed to persuade Botha to allow them to search the premises without a warrant.

When the arms were found Botha was unable to pro~uce any license for the weapons and the only documents he could show the police were papers saying that Enokhad bought the weapons in 1980.

Springbok canoeist Willem van der Riet successfully went down the Kunene, and apparently wrote a book about his experiences.

According to Isaacks there was virtually no opportunity for a farm-worker to improve conditions on his own. "They have been so effectively brainwashed by colonialism that they don't feel they have the right to ask for better," he pointed out. "And in any case, if they do there's always the chance they 'll end up on the street. ..

Netumbo confirmed this view and . , gave examples of other conditions

being endured by southern farmwork-ers.

He 'had spoken to a shepherd' in Mariental who·had to, accept his boss's ruling that: any lost or killed sheep would be paid for. from the worker's own pocket Others received no payment if they fell sick and still more were afraid to go back to their hometowns because they had so little to take with them;

Both men affinned that towns like Mariental were full of men who had 'escaped' from intolerable farmwork conditions only to face hopeless unemployment and attc;ndant prob-lems such as alcoholism.

PLANS to build a R200 million hotel and conference centre in the heart of Windhoek appear to be hanging in the balance after the Windhoek Municipality set aside the winning tender last week. The winning tender to build a multi-storey' world class hotel was awarded to an international consortium led by the Japanese/ Australian company Axis Limited. . After having conditionally awarded the tender, Axis Limited was infonned through the. local representatives of

The group of companies led by Axis which had so far been involved in the project had spent in excess of R300 000 on preliminary investiga-tions and planning. In addition, the planned hotel would have included an exclpsive in-house casino for residents only.

The 750-seatNational Convention Centre at the complex would. have been run as a separate entiiy from th~ hotel to stage major national and international events.

conditional . award of the tender. Among these conditions were that the company shruld have paid a deposit of R,600 ()()() before June 29 and submitted its balance sheet to the municipality.

The Windhoek Municipality is due to meet at 16hOO today to decide the final fate of the strategic city centre property. According to a source close to Axis Limited, the matter could result in court litigation although the promoters would prefer to seek an amicable solution to the dispute.

The hotel was to be situated on the large open area between Peter Muller and Curt von Francois Streets oppo-site the Kalahari Sands Hotel cur-rently used as open air parking.

The general consensus seems to have been that the investment would have provided a major economic boost to WindhOek and the country as a whOle. .

The world class hotel and confer-ence centre would also have placed Windhoek on the map internation-ally as a top flight venue for conven-tions and diplomatic summit meet-ings.

. . The five-star hotel would have

offered 256 en suite bedrooms, 64 executive suites, 24 diplomatic suites and two presidential suites, plus all the associated public facilities.

A source close to the tender dis-pute yesterday vehemently denied the allegatim that the R600 000 deposit had not been paid before June.

The municipality had been advised that the sum was at its disposal at an internatiQnal bank in Johanitesburg on at least June 29, it was claimed. He furthermore argued' that the R600 000 deposit had not been a stipula-tion in the original tender documents and that the sum was only deposited by·Axis to show its good faith. .

, "The Axis group denies that it has in any manner whatsoever breached the conditional award of the tender to it, and holds that the municipality decision that the tender no longer stands constitutes an unlawful repu-diation of the conditional award, ' , he said.

The group further did not accept the municipality repudiation and would hold the municipality to the terms of the conditional award.

In acco]dance with the stipula-tions of the City · Council, the Axis plan provided for exteIxling the "green area" of the ~o park to the other side of Peter MUller Street with lawns and shade .trees.

The new park area next to the hotel was to include an art gallery as well

' as three small "discreet" offices for tourist-related industries.

To replace parking l~st above ground, the developers planned to provide four levels of underground parking.

Several large international com-panies as well as a large local con-structiori companies tendered for the prime city centre ~ite. . The tenderers included Axis' R6

million bid, EuroNamib Business Services' (Italian/Swiss) R500 000 tender and a R6,5 million bid from Clifford Harris-SW A.

The bid by the powerful Sun Inter-national group failed right from the outset and it was not even considered by the City Council.

The Little Mermaid is based on the Hans Christian Andersen fantasy of a beautiful mermaid who enters the world of humans and falls in love with the prince of her dreams. It will be screened at Windhoek's Kine 300 at the following times: Today until Thursday, 14h30 and 17h30. Following on from The Little Mermaid each evening will be the action-packed "cop thriller" Internal AtJairs starring Richard Gere. The movie will be showing at 2OhOO until J1tursday. At the Windhoek Drive-In, Dolly Parton appears in the Qloving Steel Magnolias, followed by a late feature, the comedy Look Who's Talking, starring John Travolta.

THE huge hotel/convention centre planned for the city centre is threatened by a sudden change of mind by the City Council. The fate of the de~~lopment will only be known today after a crucial meeting of the City Council.

THE best developll1ent projects in the world could be devi~ed for Nanubia but they could not b~ implemented by people without food, warned Ste-ven Isaack of the Namibia Develop-ment Trost yesteI:day.

Returning from a week-long trip to the south aimed at establishing links for future, c,onUnunity development projects, I~aack expressed great concern over the degree of hunger to be found in the rural communities.

Born at Mariental himself, Isaack was prepared for most , of what he saw, but an Ovambo-born colleague who had never visited the area before admitted to having been " absolurely

, shocked". People were eager to begin proj-

ects aimed l!t improving their lot but could hardly be expected tOlhrow all their energies into new schemes when they did not have any energy to throw, said Isaack.

Another problem was that many organizations had already been to the area with proposals for development projects but had never returned. "People have become very disillu-sioned with feasibility stUdies and the like because they have seen no follow-up results."

The failure of past community projects in which people had be-lieved and for which, they had worked hard had also contributed to a sense of disillusionment. At Berseba, a co-operatively-owned community store had closed because it could not af-ford to go on giving credit to its customers. Its closure had put paid to the last hopes of some families living from hand to mouth and banking on better times ahead.

The NDT representatives were anxious about a political backlash. " The people in the south follow political issUes closely," said one, , 'but they are desperate to see some progress."

They told the story of an old man at Berseba who had been talking about the budget" 'like a parliamentarian". He wanted to know why nq mention had been made of pensions for people like himself who had no income sin

It was important that the govern-ment be seen by the people to be improving l!latters, the development workers continued. No one expected wonders overnight but they had to be kept informed.

It was also important that govern-ment members visit the south to see the situation at first hand. "It's not just a case of doing a lightning tour of Mariental, Ltideritz and other urban centres," said Isaacks. "Government representatives must get to the small outlying areas where the people are really suffering." '

bling a few black iridividuals to buy farms, but rather of assisting black families in the over-crowded home-lands.

With a law still to be enacted by Parliament, the government planned to move some families in the home-lands to commercial farms which were presently under-utilized, the President said.

Families would not occupy the farms on an individual basis and would, in some instances, be encouraged to set up farming co-operatives.

" An important start will be made in the context of the present budget, ' , President Nujoma said, adding, however, that it could not be fully realized in one year ' s budget.

Elderly farmworkers 'dumped' KATE BURLING

THE fruits of independence are way out of reach for many old people in the south of Namibia who face poverty ,and hunger after a lifetime oflabour on the farms around Mariental, Keetmanshoop and Liideritz. '

According to a delegation from the Namibia Development Trost which spent last week visiting the area, many old people are being " dumped"

. by their former employers when they become less useful as workers.

With nowhere to live, no means of support and nothing to eat, t\lese senior citizens make their way to

'urban centres where they hope som~-_ body, will take care of them.

Often their families have moved , away from the area and the old people are dependent on others' charity for a place to sleep and enough food to survive,

This is placing extra strain on towns already depressed by high unemploy-ment, to say nothing of the degrada-tion involved for the old people them-selves.

At Keetrnanshoop and Ltideritz groups of women are doing their best to combat the situation by operating

soup kitchens which provide at least one basic meal a day. But the kitch-ens cost money to run and the women are findillg it increasingly difficult to finance the service: At Keetmanshoop the :vomen are hoping 1.0 sustain their . activities by developing a garden plot, but fertile land.is scarce ,and expen-sive. Apparently there is a suitabl~ plot of land with a ready supply of' dam ,water which the women would like to buy, but it is presently owned by the mU¢cipality. Although the land is lying idle, the women are not ' particularly hopeful about their chances of acquiring the land quickly.

Meanwhile, many I of Namibia's aged citizens seem destined to feel cheated out of the joy of living in an , independent country.

"Wehave 'as mJlchrightas anyone else to enjoy our freedom," one old man told the NDT." Just because we are old we should not be ignored. ' ~

Zimbabwe to host mini trade fair in ,Windhoek

THE Namibia National Chamber of Commerce was successfully launched at a two-day congress held in Windhoek last 'Friday and Saturday. The I:lim was to form a united national body to represent the business community in its relations with the government and international organizations. , The congress was officially opened with an address by ,the Minister of Trade and Industry, Ben Amathila. In his speech Amathila stressed the importance of unity and sensitivity to the aspirations of those business persons who had historically been unable to participate in the economy of the country. The congress was also , addressed by Dr Sam Motsuenyane of Nafcof in South , Africa and Professor Andrew ' Muwongi of the University of Namibia. During the congress elections were held tor an executive council and executive committee for the new chamber. B Kukuri of Windhoek was elected president, M DentUnger (vfce-presldeilt), P Bond (secretary-general), M Shlkongo (assistant secretary-general) and Frans Indongo (treasurer).

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 BUDGET POLICY SPEECH It was the responsibility of the

government to provide security to all citizens and to defend its territorial integrity, Nujoma stated.

"Hi~tory teaches us $at the lack of preparedness to dpfend one's country has often been an invitation to would-be aggressors and destabil-izers," he pointed out.

Facilities at military bases left behind by South. Africa were not adequate, the President said. The bases lacked proper housing and there was no accommodation for officers with fanlilies.

" There is, thus, a need for money not only for trainiIig and supplies for our young army, but also to improve the living conditions in some of our bases."

As far as the police force was concerned, Nujoma said it needed to

crime rate, problems related to un-employment and the after-effects of war.

There was also a need for addi-tional housing for police personnel, he added.

"Therefore, the budget allocations provided 'for the defence an~ police forces are the bare minimum that the Ministries of Defence and Home Affairs need to defend our territorial integrity and to provide internal se,- ' curity respectively," Nujoma em-phasized.

~H FOREI(;N~m§, On expenditure for Foreign Af-

fairs, the President told the House v that information about Namibi,a was needed for investment and commer-cial interests all over the world and the foreign service was the govern-

ment's agent abroad. The budget allocation for foreign

missions was just enough to estab-lish a few embassies in key centres of the world from 'where investments, technology and scientific knowledge could be sought, he continued.

The govemment, Nujoma said, would be "very restrictive" on fu-ture salary increases, so as to keep the "recurrent expenditure" and budget deficit within " manageable limits".

"Contrary to criticism of alleged ' uncontrolled spending, the budget

demonstrates a commitment to re-sponsible financial management," he said.

The government was further obliged to maintain high standards of" fiscal

A MINI trade exhibition of se-lected Zimbabwean products will take place at the Safari Hotel on J uly 19 and 20.

A group of 15 Zimbabwean bwi-ness persons are on their way to attend tpe event, which is expected to be opened by a senior Namib-ian government official.

T-ile Namibian busineSl! com-munity is invited to the exhibi-tion, which has been organized by the Zimbabwe Export Promo-tion Programme (ZEPP). ZEPP is an EEC-funded programme ' within . the Ministry of Industry , and Commerce in Harare. .

Similar successful exhibitions were held during ZEPP trade mis-sions to Tanzania and Mozam-

.' bique. "The Namibian trade mission

is one of the largest organized by ZEPP,'which has been introduc-ing Zimbabwe to regional mar-ketsjp this way for over two years," a statement by ZEPP said.

"A two-member team from the Ministry of Industry and Com-

responsibility and accountability ", The President said as far as capital

expenditure was concerned, the govemment intended coming back with an additional supplementary budget for this later in the year. What had so far been budgeted for capital projects should not be seen as final, said Nujoma.

"Thus, hopeful as it is for in-creased capital spending in the prior-ity sectors of health, education, hous-ing and agriculture, the government is careful not to count any chickens, ~t' are not hatched, " he stated.

On'the important role of the pri-vate sector, Nujoma pointed out that a conference for private investors was planned for November in Na-nubia, , The government's policy, the Presi-

dent underlined, was to encourage the private sector to play amajorrole in broadening the productive sector' of the economy.

6 Tuesday July 17 1990 THE NAMIB'IAN' ,

DIE Regering is ·ten volle bewus van die huidige implikasies van die t>e-groting vir die ekonomie, en daarom gaan dit nie wild bestee net om kortter-myn populariteit te bekom nie.

"Dit is 'n ~oort onverantwoo{de-like benadering tot 'n begroting, wat die wat die begroting as 'konser-watief' kritiseer, ons wou laat neem het. Maar ons neem 'n lang betrag-tingvan die situasie, soos die agbare Minister van Finansies In sy begrot-ingsrede gemeld het .....

maar om families in die oorvol en uitgetrapte sogenaamde reservate by te staan. '

"Binne die raamwerk van 'n wet wat die Vergadering so gou as moont-lik moet maak, sal my Regering toe-sien dat' sommige van die families vanaf die huidiglik onderontwikkelde kommersiele plase gebring word."

President Sam Nujoma gister in die Nasionale Vergadering (NY) die begrotingsdebat uit 'n moeras van persoonlike beskuldigings gelig.

Met die woorde, waarvoor hy groot lof van die opposisie ontvang het, het

Teen die einde van die NY -sitting gister het 'n groter gees van versoe-ning in die Huis geheers nadat selfs die leier van die wit Aksie Christe-

Drankvvinkels uit! PIUS DUNAISKI

DIE Regering is gekant teen die feit dat munisipaliteite inwop.ers van swart woonbuurte dronk maak pleks daarvan om hulle te voed. En die kwessie van munisipale dI'a.\lkWinkels sal binnekort vasgevat word.

• Dit is die onomwonde standpunt van die Minister van Behuising enPlaaslike Owerhede, dr. Libertine Amathila, in 'n onderhoud wat sy met Focus gevoer het. Haar skerp reaksie oor die bastion van apartheid kom nadat daar berig is dat Outjo se munisipaliteit 'n voorwaarde stel vir die gebruik van openbare geriewe op die dQrp deurdat drank by. die munisipale drankwinkel op die dorp gekoop moet word vir enige geselligheid. '

Die aangeleentheid het groot opslae gemaak en die Kantoor van die Ouditeu~-generaa1 in Windhoek het ook in reaksie genoem dat die munisipale drankwinkels in die jongste OO-verslagveroordeel word. '

Die 00, Joan Jordaan, stel dit as moreel verkeerd dat munisipaliteite spesiaal in swart woonbuur:te drankwinkeIs oprig sodat 'die inkOmste aangewend kan word om die finansiele balans te probeer hou.

In die ondemoud het Amathila ges~ sy voel sterk daaroor dat munisipaliteite drankwinkelsin woonbuurte opgerig het. "Hoekom het hulle nie sentrums opgerig wat kos verkoop nie, indien daar 'n gejaag na geld is?' ~ wou sy weet.

V olgens haar is dit vera! bejaardes wat swaar gebuk gaan onder die omstandighede, omdat hul pensioengeld sommer geneem en drank mee gekoop word. Ook is die drankwinkels 'n taamlike versoeking en die munisi-paliteite kan liewer help om mense op te hef en voedsei-sentra kan liefs bedryf word. Amathila het gese sy het met haar onlangse besoek aan Mariental die stadsvaders daar vertel dat dit hoogtyd is dat die drankwinkels toegemaak word.

"Ons sal die saak binnekort opneem," het sy bygevoeg.

FOR THE JOB

PIUS DUNAISKI,

lik-Nasionaal (ACN), Kosie Preto-rius, net waarderende woorde vir Nujoma gehad het.

Sy kort toesprakie, waarin Presi-dent Nujoma se staatsmanskap hoog aangeslaan is, het' 'n gejuig van die Huis en die galerye, wat stampvol was, ontlok:. Pretorius het gese alhoewel daar baie redes vir foutvind is in die land, is hy befudrukmet die wyse waarop President Nujoma die nuwe, vreemde politieke situasie rui onafhanklikheid hanteer. Volgens hom sal hy die skerp kritiek aan andere oorlaat - 'n verwysing na die DT A-lede wat toe gebrom het.

Nujoma het in 'n eerste historiese toespraak . aan die Namibiese yolk die NY -lede gelukgewens met die lang ure van harde werk en die be-groting as nog 'n mylpaal beskryf.

Hy bet gese daar moet in ag geneem word dat die Regering blitsvinnig 'n

begroting moes opstel terwyl 4aar terselfdertyd 'n groot herstrukture-ring van ministeriee gedoen moes word. "Maar ons is bereid om te verbeter in die toekoms.' ,

President Nujoma het gese sy Regering is vasbeslote om begrot-ingsdissipline en koste-effektiewe implementering van programme as toekomstrategie aan te neem.

Oor die kritiek dat min geld vir kapitaalwerke opsy gesit is, het Presi-dent Nujoma Namibiers daaraan herinner dat dit in die kleinbegroting later in die finansiele jaar weerspieel sal word, omdat dit met die geld van die Skenkerskonferensie gefinansier sal word. Die Regering werk aan 'n plan om grond-hervorming 'n werklikheid te maak en groot bedrae geld sal vir die gene beskikbaar gestel word wat tans sukkel om goeie toegan-klikheid tot landbougrond te he.

, ! Ons bepaalde besorgdheid is nie om net 'n paar swart individue in staat te stel om plase te koop nie,

President Nujoma het genoem dat die families aangemoedig sal word om kollektief saam te werk in koopera-tiewe, en dat die gedagte reeds in die huidige begroting aandag sat kry.

Hy het bygevoeg dat, anders as in die verlede, die begrotiQg sal'toesien dat geld nie oneweredig versprei sal wordnie sodat die armes ookhul deel sal kry.

President Nujoma het voorts die kritiek teen die hoeveelheid geld vir verdediging as verkeerd afgemaak en gese dis belangrik dat Namibie se Weennag gereed moet wees virenige aggressors, wat die gebiedsintegriteit van die land sal probeer bedreig.

Hy het ook genoem dat Namibie binne sy finansiele vermoens moet leefenomdat daardrukop die Reger-ing rus om 'n gesonde situasie te behou, Naplibiers hul gordels moet intrek en nie te veel verwagtinge oor salarisverhogings moet he nie.

Khorixas dreig met boikot STANLEY KA TZAO

DIE swart-gemeenskap van Khorixas dreig om as laaste a1ternatiefhul kinders oit die skole te haal en sakeondernemings te boikot indien die wittes besluit om hulself op sosiale gebied van die swartmense te dissosieer.

Dit volg na samesprekings tussen verteenwoordigers van die Ministerie van Plaaslike Owerhede en Behuising, die Aksiekomitee van swart werkne-mers op die dorp en die bestuur van die eksklusief-wit klub.

'n Plofbare situasie het rondom die klub onstaan toe swart amptenare, wat die klub besoek het, daaruit gegooi is. Die grondwet van die klub mw dit bykans onmoontlik vir swartmense om toegelaat te word as lede. Die klub, wat uit 'n Regeringsgebou opereer, bestaan uit 'n binnenshuise pluiinbalbaan, waarop ander sportsoorte ook beoefen kan word, 'n hoeg met weggee-pryse vir drank, en 'n sitkamer.

Die bestuur van die klub het egter tydens die samesprekings 'n versoek gerig~m tyd gegun te word, sodat hulle met die lede van die klub kan onderhan-del en 'n besluit in die verband kan neem. 'n Algemene vergadering sal Donderdag gehou word, waar die lede sal besluit of hulle die klub sal oops tel of wit hou. Gesprekke met van die lede

. van die klub het getoon dat die wittes op die dorp die situasie vir hulself baie moeilik maak. Alhoewel hulle besef dat veranderings en regstellings gekom het om te bly, wi! hulle dit nie aanvaar nie.

Die bestuurder van die klub, Michael

Bain - 'n vakadviseur vir die ekon-omiese wetenskappe - se dat hy in begirisel geen probleemmetdie oopstel van die klub het nie, maar dat hulle nie sal toelaat dat enige fan Rap en sy maat daar ingaan nie. Hy het egter sy afkeur-ing oor die moontlike toe1ating tot die klub van Hans Boois, Swapo se hoof op die dorp, en Josephine Garises, 'n Regeringsamptenaar, uitgespreek.

Boois het , volgens Bain la-asgenoemde vals beskuldig dat hy 'n A WB-ondersteuner is, en Garises het "verdraaide ,berigte" na ~n koerant gestuur. "As daardie twee lede van die klub word, dan sal ek my lidmaatskap opse," .het hy gese. Hy was duidelik' ontsteld oor die pas van verande,ring wat vir hom te vinnig is en het gese die situasie word gevat, opgeblaas en ryp gedruk. Op 'n vraag of die skoonmaker buite die klub op die betaalstaat van die Regering 'is, het hy homself ver-ontskuldig deur te se dat hy net ver~ antwoordelik is vir die binnekant van die klub. "Wat buite gebeur, is die bestuur se saak," het hy gese . .

'n Ander amptenaar wie nie sy naam bekend wi! be nie; het gese hy is vol vertroue dat die aangeleentheid opge-'los sal word. Hy het genoem dat daar reeds 'n gevoel onder die wiUes 'is dat

die klub oopges«;l moet word. Hy het egter die wyse waarop die

swartmense die aangeleentheid hanteer het, skerp gekritiseer. Volgens hom moet verandering sy natuurlike gang gaan en nie afgedwing word nie.

Die swart gemeenskap van die dorp ~et egter 'n ander weergawe. Volgens 'n woordvoerder van die Aksie-komitee, wat die gemeenskap van die dorp verteenwoordig, is die ge-meenskap siek en Sljt vir apartheid op die dorp. Die gemeenskap het apartheid leUerlik die stryd aangese deur te se dat hulle ' alle wit sakeondememings op die dorp sal boikot indien die · wittes op vandeesweek se vergadering sou be.sluit om die klub wit te hou.

V oorts sal hulle vra dat alle wit lede van die klub uit hul Regeringsposte onthef word, want as die swart mense s'osiaal onaanvaarbaarvir hulle is, moet hulle dan ook professioneel onaanvaar-baar wees. Hulle kan nie saamwerk as hulle nie saam kan ontspan nie, is die gemeenskap se mening.

' Indien die aksies nie die verwagte effek het nie, is die gemeenskap se mening dat al hul kinderS onttrek moet word uit skole waar die wiUes onderrig, omdat hulle dan ook nie werd is om hul kinders te onderrig nie.

S6 L YK die Regeringsgebou wat die toetssaak van apartheid op Khorixas geword het. Die swart en wit gemeenskappe is, in 'n beslissende . kontlik betrokke oor 'n eksklusiewe wit k1ub, wat verreikende gevolge sal he.

Golf's cradle prepares for the British Open ST ANDREW'S, Scotland - The Old Course at St Andrews is a shrine; the birthplace of golf and cradle of the game. Its history is counted in centuries. A visit to The Old Course, on the windswept coast of Fife north of Edinburgh, is a walk with the ghosts of golf.

Arnold Palmer first took that walk 30 years ago. 'This year he will take his last, he says, as a player in the British Open.

, 'Unless something happens that I don't know of, this will be my swan song.

"It will be a sentimental journey back to St Andrew's; 30 years to the day that I went to my first British Open Championship," Palmer said.

Palmer finished second to Austra-lian Kel Nagle in 1960 but won the trophy, an old silver claret jug, the next two years.

"Winning those two British Opens was an important step for me, an important part of my career, some-thing I'll always cherish," he said.

If was of equal importance to the Scots, the R and A and the British Open. Palmer was at the height of his powers 30 years ago. He was the Masters and US Open~hampion, the mostfamou's, most popular player in the world when he made th!lt first trip . to St Andrew's.

He went to a tournament in trouble. US players, at that time, were the

dominant forces in the game. Except for Sam Snead's victory in 1946 and Ben Hogan's in 1953, leading US players rarely journeyed to the Brit-ish Open. The purse was modest, the trip long and inconvenient. It could take a month out of a player's sched-ule - a month at the peak of the US season.

With the absence 'of the Ameri- -cans,.the British Open was declining " in importance and prestige. •

Palmer, and his enormous personal popularity, : changed all that. His victories in 1961-62 - and the impor-tance he placed upon them, quickly

followed by the successes of Tony Lema, Jack Nicklaus, Trevino and Tom Watson - restored the British Open to the front rank of golf's great championships.

The Scots have not forgotten Ar-nold's contributions to the game they originated. Palmer's final walkup the 18th could well produce one of sports' most emotional farewells .

Palmer looks forward to it with mixed emotions.

"I'll have the same caddy I had 30 years ago. I'm sure we'l1 do a lot of reminiscing, remembering old t.i.fnes, shots played 30 years ago.

"It isn't that I wouldn't like to continue playing the British Open; it isn't that I don't still enjoy it," said Palmer, now 60.

"But 'it's time," he said, smiled and shrugged. "I'm getting older .....

In sharp contrast fo his first trip to St Andrew's, almost four dozen Americans are expected to hold places in the 156-man field. They'll be play-ing for a purse that is more than one million dollars.

And there's another change. • When Palmer first went to the British Open, the visiting Americans,' the kings of the game, were expected to have the winner in their ranks.

Now they are not. , Nick Faldo of England, winner of

the last two Mas~rs and the 1987 British Open, is the early favourite among Britain's legal bookies.' .

Seve Ballesteros is not fir behind. 'The 'Spaniard, a ' tWo-time Masters winner, scored the second of his three British Open triumphs the last time

, the Open was played at St Andrew's, in 1984.

Greg Norman, the dashing Austra-

tennis sensation Jennifer Capriati now has a victory to go Grand Slam near misses. The 14-year-old star won her fi r "Tofessional tennis title Sunday with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 victory over R( :cjlairbank in the finals of the Mount Cranmore internationals. Bt~e . this exhibition, Capriati, of -Tampa, Florida~ made an in; "essive European debut by reaching the Wimbledon quarter-fi r 1. and the French Open semi-finals.

NICK Faldo of England, winner of the last two Masters and the 1987 British Open, is the early favourite among Britain's legal bookies to·win this year's British Open at St Andrew's.

,

lianwhotookthe 1986 Open title and leads the US tour in money winnings this year, is the oddsmakers' third choice.

Some: other major threats include , Ian Woosnam of Wales, Bernhard Langer of West Germany, Jose-Maria OlazabalofSpain, PGA title-holder Payne Stewart of the Unite'd States and possibly Sandy Lyle of Scotland .

Also not to be forgotten is Hale

Irwin of the United States, who has . been ·the central figure'in the recent . . revival of older players. Irwin, 44, followed up his third US Open title last month with another US tour victory , the following week.

Other well-known ·"old-timers" ~ will be on hand trying to win.

Tom Watson, 40, is a five-time · British Open winner. Jack Nicklaus, got himself in contention in the Masters

and insists he has a chance at a third victory .at St . Andrew's. And Lee Trevino, also 50, has won six Senior Tour events this year and said he's playing well enough to win the Brit- . ish Open. .. . The oldest of them all has no illu-

sions about leaving with the old sil-ver jug. But Arnold Palmer will leave with. memories, unmatched memo-

THE Nainibia Handball Federation (NHF)announced through their president, Dr j PaImhert, that they are'desperately in need offmancial support. The NHF, one of the very few sport codes which stands a good chance 'to" qualify for the next Olympics, has been accepted into the African Handball Federation.

The assQciatio.nhas been invited to' the next African B-Ieague to.urna-ment in Senegal from August 4-11 an,d are facing a financial sho.rtage to' fly their I5-persQn squad to' Senegal.

The federatiQn finds participatio.n in SeIXlgal essential as ahQut 10 African natio.nal teams are expected to' par-ticipate in the to.urnament.

The strength o.f the Namibia Hand-ball Feqeratio.n was brQught to' test earlier this year when it downed the Kenyan natio.nal team 27-23 during the independence celebratio.ns.

"The Kenyans are rated amQng the tQP five handball nations in Af-rica and it will be really great fo.r Qur local stars to' test their strength against Qther African greats," said Helge Dencker, spo.kesperso.n of the ~amibia Handball Asso.ciatiQn.

The first fo.urplacings at the fo.rth-Co.ming tQurnament replace the last

fQur teams o.fthe African A-league, cQnsisting o.f 10 teams, acco.rding to' Dr Palmhert.

Agreat o.pp'o.rtunity also. awaits the Namibian team if they qualify fo.r the A-league as the A-championships will be held f~r participatio.n in the next Olympics and the WQrld Cup.

The federation received an Qfficial invitatiQn by the African Handball Associati'on to. participate in the Africanhandball champio.nships and a big amo.unt o.f apprQximately R64 942 is expected to. be raised within the co.urse o.f as little as three weeks in o.rder to. carry the expenses to. Senegal.

The Namibian team has a new cQach ip. Frank KrystQsiak, a fQrmer German First League player, and is expected to further impro.ve their abilities.

Denker to.ld The Namibian SPQrt

local players sto.Qd a gQo.d chance to. make it into' the African A-league because Qf KlystQsiak' s co.nsiderable experience, and the NHF alSo. stQQd a gQQd chance to' participate' in the next Olympic Games in BarcelQna in 1992.

, 'It is a cQnsiderable amQunt to' be raised in a shQrt perio.d o.f time, but we can assure you that it will be a good investment, " said Dr Palmhert.

Dr Palmhert alSo. stressed that Namibia's participatio.n in the Afri-canchampio.nships will pave the way fo.r the co.untry to. co.mpete at the highest spo.rt levels.

• Dr J Palmhert and Mr W \ Palmhert can be contacted at the

following numbers for further in-formation: Dr J Palmhert at 203-
