A MEMBER ·of the Na­mibia Defence Forc'e (NDF) was killed on Wednesday morning in a tragic incident on the Otj i warongo-O kahandj a road.

According to Police Public Relations Officer, Siggi Eim­beck. a Mrs Heunis (flfst name unknown at the time of going to press) was travelling irum Kalkfeld to Okahandja when a soldier jumped out inJo the road in front of her. The driver did not stop but hit the soldier. Paulus llonga of the O,5(ina ba'e. killing him in the process.

According to the police, other soldiers, apparently mann ing a makeshift roadblock, jumped out of the bushes and 'm,Ul­handled' the woman,

Mrs Heuni s then drove the ' remaining 40km to Okahandja where she repo11ed the inci­dent to the police and laid a charge of assault and crimen injUlia against the mem bers of theNDF.

Brigadier Eimbeck, confinn­ing that a charge of culpable homicide was being investi­gated against Mrs Heunis. said the roadblocks in question were 'illegal' ,

Roadblocks should be manned jointly between po­lice and military, he said, which was not the case in thi s inci­dent . There were also no clear warning signs of a roadblock ahead, and Mrs Heunis had presumably been afraid because of a spate of robberies in the area in recent weeks. She had therefore failed to stop,

Brigadier Eimbeck added that several complaints about ille­gal roadblocks in various ar­eas of the COlUltry, had been reported,

' Our young democracy is alive and kicking'

THE birth of the Namibian nation 12 months ago had been able to draw useful lessons from the Zimbabwe experience. This was said by Namibi an President Sam Nujo ... ,~ at the first anniversary of independence celebrations in Windhoek yesterday. Reft' r -,. ring to guest of honour, Zimbabwean Head of State, Robert Gabriel Mugabe, as "one of the most outstanding sons of Africa" , President Nujoma added that the Zimbab­wean commitment to the principles of human equality, dignity and social justice for all, had been a profound source of inspiration to the people of Namibia.

President Nujom a said the country was marking the first ann iversary of its hard-won in­dependence with a sense of pride and satisfaction .

" Measured against the back­ground of many years of suffer­ing under the yoke of apartheid colonialism, the last 12 months have been a period of socio­economic and political renewal and the building of democracy in our land.

"Gone are the b itter racial , ethnic and ideological tens ions. Peace and stability have now returned to our land . Unlike those dark days before inde­pendence when the d readful Casspirs, dusk-to-dawn c ur­fe ws. atrocit ies and massacres were the order of the day. our people have been able , during the last 12 months. to freely go about the ir business with out fe ar or intimidation . This is in itself an important achievement and , therefore, a reason for celebra­tion; for, it res tores the lost dig­nity in the N amibian people ."

that " our youn g democracy is alive and kicking". The press too, had enjoyed unrestricted freedom. although it had at times tended to abuse it.

The Government had come to power at a time of economic recession brought about by a combination of factors . These included a decline in mineral prices which had reduced state revenue and the effect of sanc­tions still one year after inde­pendence.

"This combination of nega­'tive economic factors has , to a very large extent, mili tated against Government efforts to revitalise the economy and im­plement a policy of bringing about socio-economic justice by narrowing the income dispari ty between the privileged few and the poor majority."

Although there were diffi cul­ties, the mining sector still .had potential, and discussions were taking place with companies in-

terested in fu rt her exploration and developme nt of mine ral re­sources, inc luding oil and natu­ral gas. In the Governme nt ' s pol­icy to diversify the economy. ef­forts had been focused on the de­velopment of agriculture and the reorganisation of the fish eries sector. This involved the protec­tion of marine resources through the adoption of the 200 mile exclusive economc zone and the adoptio tl of surveillance meth­ods to stop illegal fi shing. More than 70 per cent of N amibia's people depended on subsistence agriculture for a li vin g, yet food production was a neglec ted area . Efforts to increase crop produc­tion had received considerable attention as the country had im ported food to the tune of RI50m annually . In the 1989/90 period, the coun try had pro­duced 20 000 tonnes of white maize, and this year expected to produce 40 000 tonnes. " This achievement was the result of

Friday ,March '221991 3

governm e nt efforts to urge the farmers to bring more land under cu ltiv ation. "

Pilot projects of collon had been encouraging and large ar­eas would be planed . Cotton could become an important comm odity of agriculture in this coun try. The evolv ing agricul­tu ral acti vi t y could create em­p�oyment fo r 10 000 worke rs in the second year of independ­ence.

In the firs t 12 months of inde­pendence Namibia had over­come the impact of years of iso­lation and had become a member of key intern ational and regional organ isations. . The Government had been

unable to ove rcome educational problem s in the first 12 months, and "every effort is being made to solve the problem" to ensure th at the second year of inde­pendence would see s igni ficant progress in this area .

" On this historic occasion, we must rededicate ourselves to consolidate and jealously de­fend our hard-won independ­ence, freed om and democracy. We must contin ue to uphold the policy of national reconciliation and consolid ate the bonds of nation al unity among all our people, champion the cause of peace . stability and social prog­ress in our land.

" Le t the second year of inde­pendence be one of hard work , fulfillment. and the implementa­tion of our plans and program­mes in the interests of all the c itizens of Nam ibia," the Presi­de nt concluded.

The Namibian President added that in the past 12 months the Government had been busy restructuring state machinery and pushing forw ard its legisla­tive agenda with a view to dis­mantl ing colonial structures and

Peace DlUst not becoDle a hostage of the past

NAMIBIA a nd Z imbabwe shared almost identical histori ­cal experie nces - both countries had suffered under the yoke of colonialism and both had gone through bitter and bloody wars of liberation which left thou­sands dead and wounded . This was said by the Zimbabwean Head of State , Pres ident Robert Mugabe , in a speech at the Namibia Independence Celebra­tions in W indhoek yesterday.

Presiden t Mugabe went on to say th at neither country had em barked on policies of perse­cution and recrimination but had instead chosen the paths of peace and reconcil iation and " made deliberate efforts to erase the past from our memo­ries" .

"Today our countries and societies are stronger because of that magnanimous and forward­looking policy. In any case, the future is too important to be al­lowed to become a hostage to the past. "

President Mugabe added that political independence was meaningless unless accompa­nied by economic independ­ence. This in turn ·meant hard work and there were no 'free lunches'. " We should not sit back and expect Government to do everythin g for us . Rather, we should be asking what we can do for Namibia and for ourselves."

One great tool in the hands of

coloni alists had always been.the pol icy of divide and rule and in line with this, Namibia had been d ivided into 12 e thnic adminis­trative groups; These were mean t to .d ivide and weaken the development of a COmmon na­tion'al identity. While there was nothing wrong with being Her­ero or German or English , cul­tural differences should not stand in the way of ' national and greater cultural identity as Na­mibians' .

Addressing himself to school­children , Mugabe said they should never lose sight of the fact that they were tomorrow's leaders. He went on to say that the opening up of educational opportunities involved a lot of work and surmounting of many problems by the Ministry of Education. " You, therefore, have to show patie nce and understanding when these facili ­ties are not ready on time or quite adequate." Similar problem s in Zimbabwe had been overcome and "we have no doubt that, given time and understanding. the Namibian Government will do the same for you". He urged the youth towards self-disci­pline , discouraging them from using drugs or alcohol.

Mugabe said he was heart­ened by the fact that Namibia and South Africa had decided to sit down and resolve existing d ifferences over Walvis Bay .

" It is our sincere hope ... that a mutually beneficial agreement will be reached on this thorny issue ."

On South Africa, President Mugabe said he had ):>cen en­couraged by the progress made in dismantling apartheid. The repeal of the Group Areas Act was a significant step forward towards a free , democratic and non-racial South Africa. "We have said time and again that apartheid cannot be reformed but has to be dismantled." Mugabe called for restraint on the part of black comm~nities in South Africa, saying that with a constitutional conference on the cards, it would be "disastrous for the black majority to go into the conference in disarray".

Progress had been made in both AngOla and Mozambique in the attempts to settle the civil wars there. However, the pre­varications of the two rebel movements "leave us wonder­ing whether they ever contem­plated peace in the first place".

Saying he hoped that peace would come to the Middle East. Mug.be said that tltis could mean a solution to the Palestinian problem. "We call upon the international community to convene a conference whose desired

end would be the establishment of an independent Palestinian State in the Middle East, thus bringing a defini­tive end to the decades o f conflict in t"at region ."

OVER 2600 ATTENDED ESAMI MANAGEMENT TRAINING · PROGRAMMES IN 1990 A total of 2677 participants drawn from 19 countries In Eastern and Southern African Countries and a few from West Africa and the Far East attended 133 ESAMl management training programmes and top level seminars in 1990. This was an increase of 107 participants compared to 2570 In 1989. According to statistics released at ESAMl Headquarters, Arusha, this upward trend has been maintained within an average of 10% growth rate since 1987 when 1818 participants patronized ESAMI programmes.

Among the largest users of ESAMI's high quality management development pro­grammes and related services were TanzanIa, Zambia, Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Botswana, lesotho, Namibia, Mauritius, Seychelles, Swazlland, Mozambique, Ethiopia and Angola. Governments alone accounted for 49.3% while parastatals and the private sector accounted for 45,4% and 8,7% respec­tively. Middle level managers accounted for 81% as compared to 19,8% top level managers and only 2.3% low cadre managers who attended our pro­grammes. Woman participants increased from 693 in 1989 to 715 in 1990. The thrust is to have more women attend ESAMI programmes.

1991 PROGRAMMES Meanwhile ESAMI will this year redirect its efforts towards maximising the impact of train ing by offering practical programmes designed to contribute to improve­ment of managerial effectiveness of socio-economic programmes and institutions of our region. ESAMI has adequate professional expertise to meet the regions challenges. This Is drawn from its pool of 40 full time African experts plus over 100 resource persons.

In addition to the established traditional programmes offered iA core areas of management, ESAMI will focus on : 1. Consolidation of transport sector management programmes In the region especially Road Transport Management and Aviation. 2. Expansion of Information Technology programmes to encourage use of new technologies In the Computer field. 3. Women In Management Development programmes 4. Retoollng trainers In order to enhance development of Indigenous management capabilities . 5. Entrepreneurship development for small scale enterprises and women In business. 6 Top level Executive programmes for effective management of the Public Services Including Commissions.

ESAMI thus appeals to all those decision-makers in this region who value the critical role in management promoting effiency and effectiveness to take advan­tage of the training and consultancy programmes available within our region as a way of saving on scarce foreign exchange.

Happy Birthday - tilDe to work

TOM MINNEY

" PLANT your gardens, join community groups, study hard at school" was the independence anniversary message being driven home yesterday in Katutura and Khomasdal. Children from Jan Jooker and Ella du Plessis schools took theatre to the streets there early in the morning, with street theatre performances organi­sed by the community group, Bricks. '

The big day began without the streams of marchers oflast year. Instead municipal buses, lumbered up and down the streets, swallowing up schoolchildren, adults and whole crowds carrying banners and Swapo flags.

At the stadium, the early morning trickles of people soon swelled to long lines of people waiting to be body-searched by police. Long lines of ambassadors' and Government large cars took up one side, with crowds streaming from cars, buses and bakkies on the other.

In the VW stand party divisions seemed forgotten as politicians of different parties sat together and shook hands. A red carpet gleamed in the sun in readiness for the two Presidents, police threatening anyone who stepped on it and amazing spectators with their own balletic leaps to avoid leaving any police-size bootmarks.

There were no divisions either among the crowds, who had come in large numbers to show how Namibians like to party. As the sun beat down, its strength returned after a days of rest when Windhoek enjoyed cooler air, they sat and watched.

They showed their appreciation for the precision stepping of the soldiers of the N amibian Defence Force. Lieutenant General Dimo Hamaambo, dapper with a sparkling sword, and a key squad of troops looked impressive in ceremonial red uniforms with gold braid, their white gloves flashing in the sunlight. Nervous-looking British military instructors stood near the exit, muttering "left-right" as the men headed out.

Also popular was the reassuring sight of the police band, familiar from so many marches and ceremonial occasions. The crowd clapped along, A conveniently-placed microphone added to the excitement by transmitting some of the mid-field com­mands.

But soon the heat seemed to lull people, as about 1 000 children in white cavorted before their eyes in mass displays of gymnastics to film soundtrack music. A surprisingly. restful flock of journal­ists gradually turned the first edition of the government newspa­per 'New Era' into sun-hats, and complained about having to ' shoot photos into the sun.

Outside the stadium, some ~hops stayed open, but not in the City Centre. It was business as usual in the stalls and barber shops of Katutura' s single quarters shacks arollnd the quiet of the new market.

Others voted for a day of independence from work and opted for quiet meditation on the fi rst year from the peaceful surround­ings of their beds.

Roads dripped with sweat as marathon ruaners braved the heat on the western bypass.

Backin the stadium the most popular act was yettocome. Feot­stomping women from a range of women's organisations soon had {he crowds cheering and clapping, and breathed new life into a volley of camera.lenses.

The atmosphere was different from last year. The crowd seemed more aware of the problems that independence would bring. Like the message from the Bricks theatre, they realised that they were celebrating a birthday that heralded a year of hard work ahead,

But despite all the new uniforms, marches and ceremonial that independence had brought, their appreciation of the women dancers showed that they still felt "Namibian is best" ,

AROUND THE WORLD

Pardoned CAPE TOWN: Thirty-onc political prisoners jailed up to 14 years for their anti -apart­heid activism left their island prison yesterday after bemg granted amnesty by the government. The freed prison­ers, all members of the African

National Congress' paramili­tary wing, were among 40 people granted anUlesty on Monday for political crimes. They left Robben Island prison by boat and were greeted at CapeTown'sharbourbyabout 150 people waving ANC flags and shouting "Welcome home,

former prisoners waved ANC flags and blew kisses to the crowd. They included John Nene, 48, who was believed to be South Africa's longest-serv­ing political prisoner. Nene spent half his life in jail for activities in the anti-apartheid movement. He was first jailed from 1965-75 on Robben Is­land, then returned in 1977 after receiving a life sentence for anti-government activities.

Man tortured JOHANNESBURG: A police­man yesterday denied using electric shocks to interrogate Winnie Mandela's driver, John Morgan, during investigations leading to the Rand Supreme Court trial in which they both face charges of kidnap and assault.

Lieutentant Dries de Klerk, said Morgan had assisted po-

lice investigations in attempts to arrest further suspects in the case, a submission contested by Morgan's advocate, Hen­drik Kruger.

Kruger said his client was simply forced to accompany police when they visited two hou ses in Soweto and that de Klerk was one of ltuee police­men who u sed an ilp~aratus to administer electric shocks to Morgan's legs while he was

held in police cells.

Celebration JOHANNESBURG: Police yesterday reported few inci­dents of violence around the country as tens of thousands of black South Africans yester­day acknowledged that Heroes' Day was an inalienable part of their political culture.

Poll tax axe LONDON: Prime Minister John Major 'S government is about to axe, or at least modify, an unpopular local tax that con­tributed"to the downfall of his predecessor, Thatcher.

Margaret

Officials were set to go be­fore the House of COllUllons yesterday to say how the gov­ernment plans to replace or modify the so-called poll tax. It is widely expected that the government will ditch the tax.

It would be Major's biggest retreat from the policies of Thatcherism - the ex-prime minister 's right-wing philoso­phy of free markets, personal responsibility and reduced state spending.

Taxi strife CAPE TOWN: A women was burnt to death and four people were injured as the " taxi-war" continued in the black town­ships near Cape ToWn, police confirmed yesterday.

A 17-year-old youth was also killed in what police believe could have been faction fight­ing.

Thousands of workers are shunning taxis for fear of being caught in the cross fire as rival groups attack one another on various routes and at taxi ranks.

Plane crash DHAHRAN: A Saudi trans­port carrying 10 1 people, mostly Senegalese military personnel, crashed yesterday in north­eastern Saudi Arabia, killing all but seven aboard, Allied military officials said.

A Saudi military official, who asked not to be identified, said the crash occurred when the Saudi air force C-130 Hercu­les was trying to land at Ras al­Mishab, onthecoastjust soufu of Kilafji, after a flight from Jeddah.

Land misuse CHINHOYI,Zimbabwe: Land degradation has reached seri­ous proportions in most com­munal and resettlement areas, Zimbabwe's news agency, Ziana, has quoted the Minister of Environment and Tourism, Herbert Murerwa, as sayin.

And the minister warned that if resources were misused and became depleted, "it becomes inevitable that competition for such resources will lead to conflicts among communities' ' .

. Not too bad NEW YORK: Pop superstar Michael Jackson has signed a IS-year multimedia contract with Sony COJporation's US entertainment subsidiary that could be worth more than 1 billion dollars , the company announced on Wednesday.

Jackson, who has gone from his Motown recording roots to become one of America' s modern-day cultural and en­tertainment icons, has the two bestselling albunlS of the 1980s, "Thriller" and " Bad."

Gister het die President van Namibie, Sam Nujoma, die mite wat se hy is bang om in die openbaar te verskyn verkeerd bewys deur in 'n oop Jeep saam met die Presi­dent van Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, op die Onafban­klikheidsstadion te verskyn. Die gebaar is deur al die Namibiers wat daaroor genader is verwelkom en albei die leiers is in 'n goeie Iig deur die toeskouers ontvang. Sommige persone het gekla oor die optrede van die pre­sidensiele motorstoet. Die president het verduidelik dat die land ' nie gewoond is daaraan nie aangesien hy die eel'ste president van die land is. Die sekuriteitsstelsel wat nou condom die president opgebou word is nie net vir hOlllself nie maar ook vir die toekomstige presiUente van die land. Die vervoer waarmee die president gister by die eerste onafhanklikbeidsherdenking aangekom het was 'n ver­rassing vir die lIIt.'estc van die Namibiers teenwoordig by die feesviering.

Tyson declared winner after ref stops bout

LAS VEGAS: Mike 'Fyson beat Razor Ruddock in a battle of bombers, but in the end it was a referee's call that fInished Ruddock.

The victory placed Tyson a big step closer to nying to regain the world heavyweight cham­pionship. But the way it ended may have assured Ruddock of a rematch with Iron Mike.

Ruddock, who was -down

twice earlier in the fIght, was sent backward to the ropes by six straight shots in the sev­enth.

He blinked as . he bounced off the ropes and appeared woozy, but stared in disbelief when referee Richard Steele signa led the fIght was over . .

The scheduled l2-round fight was marked by a lot of missing and clutching, but the crowd of

15492 outdoors was kept in an uproar because of the heavy punches both men were throw­ing.

The crowd came to its feet as one when Steele stoppea the . I}latch and it continued to roar as the ring fIlled with people and a melee broke out. Steele was escorted by six security guards out of the arena. - Sapa­AP.

RAZOR Ruddock hangs on the ropes as referee Richard Steele pulls Mike Tyson away ending the heavyweight elimination bout in the seventh round.

A Baha'i View No. 62

Equal status for men and women. In the 8aha'i view, women are the spiritual equals of men and should enjoy equal rights and privileges. "Humanity is like a bird with two wings - the one is male, the other female. Unless both wings are strong and impelled by some common force, the bird cannot fly heavenwards. According to the spirit of this age, women mut advance and fulfil their mission in all departments of life, becoming equal to men." "In some respects woman is superior to man. She is more tender-hearted, more receptive, her intuition is more intense." "Women's lack of progress and proficiency has been due to her need of equal education and op­portunity. The happiness of mankind will be real­ized when women and men coordinate and ad­vance equally, for each is the complement and helpmeet of the other." "Women must go on advancing; they must extend their knowledge of science, literature, history, for the perfection of humanity. Ere long they will receive thei r rights. Men will see women in ear­nest, bearing themselves with dignity, improving the civl and political life, opposed to warfare, demanding suffrage and equal opportunities".
