.. STOP THE KILLINGS ,

---Residents ask Ahtisaari in a petition --------- ------- By Rajah Munamava -------------RESIDENTS of the far north have forwarded a petition to the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary General, Mr MarUi Ahtisaari, urging him to address certain key issues in order to put a stop to the killings in the area.

More than 6000 signatures have implementation of Resolution 435 been collected the past few days. for the last 10 years. Our hopes were

SAP A reports that Untag forces were yesterday forced to lie to their reporter in the presence of an SADF platoon, about the presence of a Plan fighter at the Oshikuku Roman Catbolic Mission.

"We haven't seen anyone", they said .

Ten minutes later when the SADF moved out, a nursing sister confmned that a guerrilla was being treated in the mission clinic, and Untag troops, somewhat embarrassed, had to admit she was correct.

The sister said that the man had arrived in civilian clothing and had a broken leg.

Sapa said "that the Untag troops were forced to lie is surely an indict­ment of their relationship with the SADF. It is also an example of the Wlhealthy atmosphere at the mis­sions and gathering points where Swapo have appeared - because those . heading the UN and SA delegations in Windhoek have persistently ne­glected to transmit a clear picture of their decisions to their men in the field" .

"We didn't want to let them (the SADF) know there was a man in the hospital because then they would have obviously wanted access to him" an Untag officer at Oshikuku said.

His senior officer, Major David Kraigo, who drove through yester­day afternoon to be briefed about the SA presence at the mission, said his orders were still that no interrogation of surrendered guerrillas by SA se­curity forces was to be allowed.

But Untag are obviously uneasy about the large SA contingents at most of the gathering points. Oshikuku is not an official gathering point but a small Untag contingent is encamped there. There is an SADF camp nearby.

The two SADF soldiers at the Mission today, accompanied by a corporal from 101 Battalion, were apparently looking for those who had

distributed a pamphlet signed by the • S wapo information cell in SW A TF' .

It was written in Eng !ish. "Do you know", it informed, "that we at Mukwa military base are having SwatX' underground cells and we do hold study meetings regularly". They said they supplied Swapo with informa­tion about SW A TF and Koevoet plans of action. It encouraged othermem­bers of the security forces to do the same, so "you could be a hero after independence' , .

"We Namibians in SW ATF and Koevoet are just forced to brutalise our fellow N arnibians (blacks) while the-Whites don't Qo it to their fellow­white N amibians", it read.

·Meanwhile at a briefing by the office of the Administrator General yesterday, it was reported that 278 guerrillas had been killed since April 1. Mr Gerhard Roux also reported that since the same date, 28 had been captured and seven guerrillas had arrived at UN posts.

Observers say it is unlikely Swapo will make use of the assem bly points in any great numbers, mainly be­cause of the high concentration of SA military at these points. Resi­dents also report that police are stak­ing our church premises, which have been declared safety areas.

UN spokesman Fred Eckhard said yesterday that any guerrillas cap­tured by the mili tary or the police are supposed to be handed over immedi­ately to UN forces.

So far there have been two re­ported clashes at Swartbooisdrift: one on Thursday night last week when seven guerrillas were killed; and another on Sunday, when one guer­rilla was killed.

One combatant has malaria

SOURCES at the Oshakati Hospital confirmed late last night that the two wounded PLAN combatants who were earlier flown in from a UN assembly point at Oshikango for treatment were still being treated at the hospital.

This is in contradiction to a statement last Friday by a UN spokesman, who told reporters at a news conference that the two fighters had been transferred to a church hospital in the area.

The spokeman also said that the condition of onc of the guerrillas was serious .

According to a hospital source, however, both PLAN combatants were still at the Oshakati hospital, where one of the men is being treated for malaria. The source also confirmed that both men were in a satisfactory condition, and that there was a possibility that tlle fighters would be taken to a church hospital.

The source also confirmed that the men are being gu: ded by both SADF and Untag personnel.

Bishop hopes confidence

in Untag will i·mprove ELCIN BISHOP KJeophas Dumeni expressed his hopes that the confidence in Untag will start to improve following the latter's establishing an office at Ongwediva, on church premises.

The church leader was reacting to reports by residents in the area that they are extremely worried and con­cerned as to whether the world body would be able to properly perform its role during the transition period, as Untag has thus far been confmed to military installations .

He said civilians have pointed out that these military installations are difficult to reach, and that even so, the military only allow entry to their bases for those persons with permits.

Explaining tl-te people's ·concerns further, the bishop confmned that on April 12, 1989, a wounded PLAN combatant approached church offi­cials at the ELCIN headquarters, indicating his wish to hand himself over to Un tag representatives.

He said Untag was duly called in, and that during the course of the day three other fighters reported at two other church locations to be presented to Untag.

He said two of the fighters were wounded, and that an Untag medical officer tended to them, before all four were taken to the Oshikango assembly point, in order to be handed over to Angolan authorities.

Church officials witnessed the safe arrival of the four fighters at the assembly point where in addition to Untag, one SADF officer, was pres­ent.

The B ishop explained that this was done as a test to Untag, but that it seemed as if the test has failed fol­lowing the reimposition of the cur­few, and the continued patrols by SADF members in the area.

He said he personally visited sev­eral villages in the Ombalantu area, where he saw soldiers going from the one homestead to the other, looking for PLAN fighters.

He said he witnessed the exhuma­tion of several bodies in one village, where black members of the security forces were ordered to do the "dirty job," while whites sat in their ve­hicles.

"This shows you that apartheid is still well and alive, even now during the transition period."

He said some of the security force men were angered as church officials took photographs of the operation claiming that these photographs were to be published in this newspaper.

BEATEN FOR FAILING TO

GIVE DTA SIGN THREE students from the Nujoma Secondary School in northern Namibia and a businessman with premises close to the school were badly assaulted by members of the South African security forces for refusing to give the DT A. sign.

The students, Paulinus Angula, 20, Handiba Samuel, 18, Amushila Eras­tus, 20, and shop owner Petrus Amwaandangi, 31, filed a statement with the Human Rights Centre at Ongwediva, accusing members of

the security forces of forcibly inter­fering with their basic rights.

According to the statement, sol­diers from the SADF's battalion 101 driving in four armoured Ratel ve­hicles first arrived at Mr Amwaan­dangi's shop and ordered the man to give the DT A sign.

About eight soldiers entered the shop, all giving the DT A sign, while some sported that organisation's T­shirts.

Several soldiers wanted to know who the shop owner ·was going to vote for upon which he replied that it was none of their business. A white soldier. known asNel, then suddenly struck the man in the face. The group of soldiers surrounded the man and repeatedly assaulted him with fists. while others were kicking him.

One soldier gave the power salute and asked the civilian what it was. The man said he did not know where­upon about five soldier .grabbed the man hitting his headagain-st.a wall

Mr Amwundangrrefused the sol­dier's offer upon which severaJ other

soldiers assaulted him again. They ordered the man to go and report to Swapo. and also to seek for medical treatment from Swapo, since he re­fused theirs.

nie soldiers then went to the Nujmla Secondary School where they stopped several s·tudents returning from a prayer service for the sick in the area, and ordered them to give the DT A sign.

Students were asked whether they knew Swapo, and who they were going to vote for. One soldier wrote DT A and Swapo in the sand, giving a cross sign over Sw apo and a tick over DTA.

He further ordered students to look properly at the markings in the sand, and told them to always show the DTA sign whenever they saw mem­bers of the security forces.

DA'OUD VRIES reports from th~ third NAFAU congress, held in Katutura at the weekend

Swapo· win to Iboost unionsl

In response to the prevailing conditions of workers in this country, the Namibia Food and Allied Workers Union (NAFAU) pledged to "improve the political consciousness of its members" byorgani­sing seminars.

This was said by the General Sec­retary ofNAFAU, Mr John Pandeni, at the union's third annual congress held in Windhoek over the weekend.

He said that his union would en­courage its members to vote foc Swapo, because a Swapo victory would mean advancement for the trade union movement in Namibia.

The third annual congress of N AFA U was a milestone in the elec­tion campaign for Swapo, he added.

Commenting on the union's ac­tivities since its second congress, he said that it had succeeded in obtain­ing wage increases and long service benefits for its workers at certain factories.

He added that medical and pension benefits, transport and accomoda­tion had been negotiated by the union for its members. These included workers in the fishing industry in Luderitz, at the Hartlief meat proc­essing factory, South-West Brewer­ies, Coca Cola, Swavleis and others.

NAFAU had been able in its three­year existence to "popul arise " itself

among the workers in the food indus­try, he asserted.

Despite its successes, some factors had affected the growth of the union negatively, Mr Pandeni said.

• 'The union encountered great , pifficulties in maintaining its union

membership because of the firing of workers at random at certain compa­nies. "

He said that health and safety in the workplace was one ofNAFAU's great concerns and he added that the union would insist and fight for better health and safety regulations for workers at their respective workplaces.

On the formation of a multi-union wnbrella labour federation, he as­serted that such a federation would serve as an ell-pression for the "po­litical feelings and aspirations" of trade unions.

A federation, he said, was also essential to improve communication with the international trade union movement.

Although NAFAU was not yet

By Da'oud Vries

affiliated to any international body, he said, it had "close and strong relations' , with the InternatiOnal Union of Food and Allied Workers (lUF). The IUF sent representatives to the congress, who offered solidar­ity and international support in pub­lic addresses to delegates.

Mr Martin Kapewasha, a guest speaker from Swapo, said that the workers' struggle could not be sepa­rated from the national liberation struggle: "Swapo was born as a re­sult of workers' struggles," he ar­gued.

He added that a Swapo govern­ment would' • guard and protect' , the interests of workers .

Mr Nathanael Araseb from Na­mibia National Students Organisa­tion (Nanso) said that a "political seizUre by Swapo" would mark the beginning of a new era based on equality.

He saluted NAFAU and said that N anso was confident that the union would continue challenging the fac­tory owners.

As resolutions voted on in cogress:

NAFAU forges links with NUN'W

THE Namibia Food and Allied Workers Union (NAFAU) reaf­firmed its ties with the National Union of Namibian Workers (NUNW) at its third annual congress;

The congress was held over the past weekend in Windhoek. It was anended by about 500 delegates from N AF AU branches from all over the country.

NUNW, with its affiliates, plans to form a federation of Namibian trade unions to act as an wnbrella body for the labour movement in the country. NAFAU'scongress ac­cordingly resolved to participate in the wnbrella organisation in order to enable the federation to function more efficiently.

The delegates stressed the impor­tance of a union federation to co­ordinate the activities of the differ­ent industrial unions. It was' 'not in the interest of worker unity to have more than one federation in Na­mibia," the congress noted.

The congress also considered the operation of multinational corpora­tions in Namibia. Delegates agreed that corporations were contributing to the system of "national oppres­sion and capitalist exploitation," and resolved that workers should "unite and challenge the growing power" of the multi.!lationals.

The congress also expressed con­cern about over the proposed privati­sation of state corporations and opera­tions. Delegates argued that privatisa­tion would effect workers' living stan­dards since private companies were •• striving for exorbitant profits," and resolved to do everything in the un­ion's power "to stop privatisation."

NAFAU would render all support for Swapo in the coming elections, the congress resolved.

The Swapo Political Programme, the delegates agreed, would be adopted byNAFAU liS a guide "in the struggle for national and social liberation. "

In the light of the • 'starvation wages" paid to workers by most companies, a resolution was accepted whereby NAFAU would fight consistently for a living wage for its members.

NAFAU's Central Committee was instructed to ensure that health and safety education becomes part of its workers' education programme. the congress resolved that companies should "accept full responsibility over their workers' health and safety" in the light of the nwnerous accidents taking place at different workplaces.

Civil servants told to be apolitical by administration

CIVIL servants in Khorixas are worried about an exercise by - the Administration for Damaras which entails-the dis­tribution of forms to employ­ees wherein they' mgst state tbey will not engage in certain political activities.

The department (formerly Dam~. ara Administration) now resorts under the AG and is headed by aMr Malan, the former Secretary for the Damara Administration.

Last Friday, forms were handed out to employees in which they were to make an undertaking not to

attend political rallies, ask questions at such gatherings or to raise the black power salute.

Employees at the administration are surprised at the move in view of the fact tbatthey are entitled to vote in the coming elections and must start participating in the political activities of their choice.

It is also understood that subject advisers employed by the department are handing out the same forms to pupils and students at various schools in the area.

At the time of going to press, Mr Malan or a Mr S~ultz who are said to be resposible for running the exercise could not be contacted for comment.

DIE Namibiese proses na onatbanklikwording is steeds in 'n vertrouenskrisis vasgevang ondanks harde pogings agter skerms om die senutergende oorlogsituasie op die noordgrens heeltemal opgelos te kry.

Teen gistenniddag het nog net vyf Swapo-guerrillas hullself ingevolge die Mount Etjo-deklarasie by aangew­ese versamelpunte in Namibie by Untag-troepe kom aanmeld.

Volgens berigte is die eerste drie Swapo-vegters per helikopter na Angola afgevoer terwyl die ander twee w aarskynlik nog iewers in mil­itere siekeboege behandeliung lay nadat hulle in skennutselinge ge­wond is.

In Windhoek het die Spesiale Verteenwoordiger van die VV se Sekretaris-generaal, mnr. Martti Ahtisaari, en die Suid-Afrikaanse verteenwoordiger, adv. Louis Pienaar, in 'n gesamentlike verklaring aangedui dat hulle nog hierdie week wil kyk wat in die Noorde sal gebeur.

Albei bet Saterdag oorgeslaan as die D-dag waarop Swapo-guerrillas by die versamelpunte moet aanrneld en 'n verlenging is tot 21 April toeg­estaan. Die posisie sal dan weer Saterdag in oorweging geneem word en die moontlikheid van nog uitstel is genoem.

Dit volg nadat mnr. Cedric Thornberry, direkteur in die kantoor van die VV se Spesia1e Verteenwoor­diger, verlede week gese het Untag het begrip waarom Plan-vegters baie onwillig is om by die aangewese versamelpunte aan te meld.

Die president van Swapo, ntnr. · Sam Nujoma, het reeds uit Luanda gewaarsku dat SA dit baie moeilik maak vir die Swapo-guerrillas weens die swaar teenwoordigheid van gewapende polisieen soldate van die veiligheidsmagte. Hy het ook daarop aanspraak gemaak dat binderlae vir sy soldate naby die versamelpunte

deur SA opgestel word. lntussen berig die amptelike An­

golese agentskap, Angop, uit Luanda dat sow at 500 Swapo-insurgente wat in Namibie was, reeds na posisies noord van die 16-de breedtegraad in Angola geplaas is nadat hulle hul­leself oor die grens onttrek het.

Dit volg nadat mnr. Nujoma reeds verlede week verskeie kere 'n beroep op die Plan-vegters gedoen het om terwille van welwillendheid terug te trek om verdere bloedvergieting te kea en sodat die onafhanklikheidsplan ingevolge Res. 435 nie in gevaar gestel kan word.

Swapo-Ieiers het egter volstaan in hul eis dat Swapo kragtens Res. 435 geregtig is op basisse binne die land en dat die infiltrasie nie daarop gernik was om die daaropvolgende slagting te veroorsaak nie, maar bloot om te hergroepeer in basisse sodat Untag hulle kan monitor.

lntussen het hernieude gevegte verlede week tussen Swapo-guerril­las en die SA veiligheidsmagte voor­gekom waarin nog 14 Plan-vegters doodgeskiet is, volgens 'n Swapo­woordvoerder in Amsterdam.

Die jongste gevegte is as "trag­ies" beslayf omdat juis doelgerigte pogings deur alle betrokke partye aangewend 'word om die vyande­likhede te keer sonder enige verdere oponthoud.

Mnr. Gerhard Roox, SA woordvoer­der van die AG-kantoor, het Vrydag erken dat nog sewe Swapo-guerrillas Donderdagnag in skennutselinge omgekom. Drie lede van die SA veiligheidsmagte is gewond en nog 14 guerrillas is in hegtenis geneem.

TEATER-RESENSIE ----- DEUR FREDDIE PHILLANDER -----STUK: Skeleton DRAMATURG: Dorian Haaroff OPGEVOER: Skool van die Skone Kunstevandie Universiteitvan Namibie. REGIE: Gerrit Schoonhoven. ROLVERDELING: Studente

Dorian Haaroff sit in Skeleton sy werkersklas-teater voort na sy baie suksesvolle poging, Orange, verlede jaar.ln Skeleton gee hy weer die gehoor 'n kykie in die verlede, die hede en die toekoms van Narnibie. As 'n mens die twee stukke krities moet ontleed is dit beslis so dat albei 'n belangrike bydrae tot die sogenoemde "people's culture" lewer!

Skeleton bring die gehoor per vliegtuig uit die verlede deur die irnplemen­tering van Resolusie 435 en sinspeel sirnbolies op die inwoners van die land as water wat 'n vername kommoditeit van die verlede was en in die toekoms sal wees. Die struktuur bied 'n tipiesc; soort Out Of Africa-lyn waar 'n wit meisie in die nuwe N amibie die stand van die werkersklas beleef en meemaak. Sy beland in allerhande intriges wat soms baie geforseerd voorgekom het.

Die meeste van die sketse, wat veronderstel is om 'n hegte chronologiese eenheid te vorm, was te oppervlakkig en dun om die lyf. Nogtans moet volle krediet gegee word aan die vinnige tempo waarteen die stuk afspeel. Dit is 'n uur van hoogtepunte w at mekaar soms nie baie dramaties opgevolg het nie. Die oorgange is op bevredigende wyse met tipiese Afrika~sang tot 'n geheelbeeld gebring.

Groot ophef is vl'n hierdie stuk gemaak by vanjaar se Kampustoneel in Pretoria. As Skeleton soveel krediet daar verwerf het as die beste stuk, ys 'n mens aan die gedagte oor wat die ander inslaywings om die lyf gehad het.

Nietemin, Skeleton het min of meer dieselfde storie van Orange vertel en as Haaroff 'n derde stuk hieroor moet skryf, sal hy beslis moet waak om nie in 'n groef te vcrval nie. Dit kan vir homself as skrywer en die spelers fataal wees.

Oor die spel is daar nie veel te se nie, want met die uitsondering van Unice en Nampo. was die ander meer figure en deel van 'n koor wat gesorg het vir die volheid van die stuk. 'n Pluimpie moet aan Gerrit Schoonhoven gaan vir die wyse waarop hy en sy spelers die stuk in 'n werkswinke!situasie gestalte gegeehet.

kilometer van 'n Untag-kamp by Swartbooisdrif voorgekom het, het die dodetal van die Swapo-guerrillas op 276 sedert I April gebring. Sowat 27 lede van die veiligheidsmagte word deur hullself as dood aangegee.

Die ontstellende nuus' is dat Un­tag-personeel se dat mnr. Ahtisaari eers 24 uurnadie gevegte daarvan te hore gekom het. Ahtisaari was ook nie ingelig dat Donderdag reeds 350 insurgente die grens oorgesteek het

na Angola nie. Die syfer is deur die SA minister van buitelandse sake, mnr. Pik Botha, bekend gemaak en is gegrond op syfers van Boesman­spoorsnyers van die SAW.

Volgens Botha is daar nog 900 Swapo-guerrillas in Namibie.

"Julle.kan vergeet van die versa­melpunte," het mnr. Hidipo Ha­mutenya van Swapo oor die naweek

. gese. Volgens hom vertrou Swapo nie die Suid-Afrikaners nie en 'n

Maandag April 17 1989 5

bevel is deur die Swapo-Ieierskap aan die vegters gegee om liefs in Angola te kom aanrneld.

Die Namibiese Raad van Kerke (CCN) se hoofsekretaris, dr. Abisai Shejavali, het intussen ook 'n verklar­ing uitgereik en die vertraging wat voorgekom het om die aangemelde Swapo-guerrillas na Angola af te voer, veroordeel. Volgens hom sal dit net bydra tot die vertrouenskrisis .

VEGTERS van Plan, die militere vleuel van Swapo, word hier in 'n U ntag-helikopter gelaai om verder vervoer te word. Die roto is die naweek in die noorde van die land geneem, waar taamlike onsekerheid beers omdat die he Ie onatbanklikbeidsproses in 'n vertrouenskrisis vasgevang is. By die Plan-vegters is twee lede van U ntag.

Brandstof ga~n nog seerder knyp NOG 'n skokverhoging in die prys van petrol en diesel wag vir Namibiers.

Die nuus volg kort op die hakke van die skielike verhoging Vrydag toe petrol in Windhoek met vier sent en diesel met nege sent verhoog is. By die kus is die verhoging drie en agt sent onderskeidelik.

Dit bring die prys van petrol (93-oktaan) in Windhoek op IlOc per liter te staan.

Volgens 'n verklaring Vrydag in Windhoek deur die kantoor van die

Adrninistrateur-generaal, is die ver­hoging van brandstof genoodsaak weens die styging in kostes. Sedert Desember het Namibiers magleloos gesit en toekyk hoe die prys van olie opgaan as gevolg van die posisie van die rand teenoor die dollar. Die rand het al swakker vertoon en daardeur die prys van brandstof opgejaag.

Gister het dit duidelik geword dat die prysskok 'n bietjie gedemp is en

dat petrol nog sowat met vier sent moet opgaan om die produksie-koste te dek.

Intussen is verneem dat die styging in brandstof swaar afgaan. Verskeie betrokke ondernemings in Narnibie en Suid-Afrikahetdieregering skerp kritiseer en die verwagting is dat die styging 'n invloed sal he op ander verbruikersgoedere.

93 sterf in sokker-ramp DIE sokkerklub Liverpool het gister versoek dat al sy wedstryde tydelik opgeskort word na Saterdag se tragedie waar nie Minder as 93 mense dood is nie.

Nightwatchman was not a guerrilla say family members in the north

By Rajah Munamava

FAMILY members or the Omege nightwatchman who was shot in the leg by South Arrican rorces a rortnight ago have described as an "inramous and deliberate lie" the claim by the South West Arrica Territorial Force that the man and his colleague, Paulus J ohannes, who were on guard at several cuca shops at the time were "suspected guer rillas' •

The Territory Force last week confinned the shooting of Elifas Kuushomwa and the subsequent amputation of his leg but claimed that the man and his colleague Paulus Johannes were suspected guerrillas.

" They were suspected guerrillas.

Suspicions were confmned when Kuushomwa fled" said th~ anny in a written reply to a query from this newspaper.

But Omege businessman, Mr Her­bert Thomas has said the SW ATF claim is absurd and a blatant lie.

Staple crop harvests 'moderate' Namibia will have no shortage or the more popular white-maize meal next year, since it appears that this year's crop will be well up on last year's.

The SWA Agronomy Board has However, this "moderate year" made provisional estimates of the will, if the estimates are borne out, size of the summer maize harvests increase white maize production by that can be expected in 1989-90. about 84% - afar from moderate rise . .

The board anticipates that the The board's estimate of commer-commercial farming sector will pro- cial fanns' yellow maize production duce some 30 700 tonnes of white concludes that they will produce about maize. Producers say that of this 7 375 tonnes, of which about 5 200 total, they will keep back about 4 165 tonnes will be retained for use on tonnes, to be consumed on the fanns. fanns, leaving the board to market

Consequently the Agronomy Board about 2 175 tonnes. This is 39% up

" If the two were suspected guer­rillas , why did the anny leave Paulus behind? He is working as usual. Why didn't they take him?"

"And since then they have never tried to come back here despite the fact that we have been to see them, in order to ask them to come here and assess the damage caused to our shOps which they broke into".

He also challenged the inference that "fleeing" is reason to suspect that someone is a guerrilla.

Mr Thomas said that he himself and Kuushomwa's family last week Wednesday went to the Ondangwa military Sick Bay to visit the young man but to their surprise they were told " you are a few minutes late, Kuushomwa is in the air, he has been flown to a hospital in Grootfoen­tein".

This, said Mr Thomas, was done without consulting the family.

Fees hike triggers Zambian riots

Petrol, diesel, paraffin prices up

About 200 trainee teachers were arrested in Kabwe, Zambia, arter three days or violent demonstrations protesting new college rees, Zambian police said.

According to police Inspector­General Henry Mt~ga, the trainees were arrested for taking part in an illegal violent procession-in Kabwe town, which is 140 krn north of Lusaka.

According to the Inspector-Gen­eral, the Kabwe demonstrators were among several hundred students who staged protests throughout Zambia. Police closed the Copperbelt Univer~ sity in the central town of Kitwe on Tuesday last week, one day before

vacation started, after 48 hours of student protests.

Rioting students at the main Zam­bian_university in Lusaka damaged seven vehicles, but no arrests were reported. -

On Monday last -week, Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda told dem­onstrators in Lusaka that his govern­ment was foraxl to impose new campus fees because of d::teriorating eco­nomic conditions .

Yet another ruel price hike was announced by the AG's office last week. On Saturday 15 April, the prices or 93-octane petrol, or diesel and or paraffin went up.

The 93-octane petrol price rose by 3c at the coast and 4c inlimd, so the price stands at R1.04c a litre at Walvis Bay, and at Rl.lOc in Windhoek.

A higher fuel levy of Z,5c a litre raises the coastal diesel price to to Rl,02 and and inland to Rl,07c a litre, and wholesale paraffm increases by k a litre in Walvis Bay and by 1,3c a litre in Windhoek.

According to the AG's office, the main reasons are the steady rise in oil prices since December last year, and the decline in the value of the rand

against the dollar. In addition to thi's, the retail-profit

margin for petrol was increased by from O,3c a litre to O,7c.

The administration decided to raise -prices again ' this month to forestall having to jump prices by a more shocking margin in a month or so.

Implicit in this explanation is what most commentawn believe: that con­sumers can expect more fuel price rises in the next few months .

The administration, according to its statement, absorbed increased

tr~port costs to the interior after April I , paying for. them out of the "egalisation (sic) fund."

Costs of transporting fuel from the coast make prices in the' interior an average of 8% higher than at the coast.

The breakdown of the RI,lO Wind­hoek price of93-octane petrol shows that more than half the price a con­sumer ijfYs at the petrol pump is made up costs incurred after the in­ternational oil price - which amounts to 41 c a litre - is paid.

MCGREGOR SECURES CHIEFS VICTORY

lWO GOALS in the dying minutes of the game gave Kaizer Chiefs a 2-1 win over Wits University in the first-leg of their NSL Ohlsson's Champ of Champs Challenge Cup semi-frnal at the Kings Park Rugby Stadium in Durban on Sunday.

After dominating the first period, Wits were rewarded a minute before the interval with a well desereved goal. Abel Shongwe, disposes sed Mathews Phiri on the edge of the Chief s box and drilled the ball home past his cousin William 'Cool Cat' Shongwe in the Chief's goal.

In the second period Chiefs fought back and in the 60th minute mid fielder Scara Thindwa missed the first of many good scoring opportunities.

, But in the 8lst minute he eventually found his mark after coll~ting a pin-point pass from Shane McGregor to smash a shot past Steve Crowley in the Wits goal.

And one minute before the end Chiefs took the lead when a free kick from Howard Freeze was headed home by McGregor from close range.

Jomo Midas Cosmos slashed the Buccanneers 3-0 in another semi-frnal tie also played at the Kings Park Stadium.

The second-leg of the semi-frnals will be played at Ellis Park in Johan­nesburg next Saturday.

JONES OUT OF BOSTON MARATHON

TOP Marathon runner Steve Jones of Wales will not be able to run in this year's Boston Marathon because of a flareup of tendinitis in his right leg, the runner announced on Friday.

Jones, one of the favouritc;s to win the world's oldest marathon, said a nagging right calf injury flared up during practice-on AprilS and developed into acute achilles tendinitis.

"Discretion paid the better part of it," Jones said of his decision. "It has responded to treatment but it's there after 10 minutes of running," he told reporters.

Jones, who won the 1988 New York Marathon, frnishedninth in last year's Boston Marathon and second in 1987, his first try at the course.

THATCHER ANNOUNCES PUBLIC INQUIRY

BRITAIN'S Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, yesterday announced 'il "full and major public inquiry" into the Sheffleld Football Ground disaster' which has resulted in the death of 93 people.

Police said about 200 other were injured in Britain's worst sporting tragedy and 70 of them were being treated in hospital, 18 in intensive care.

The victims, including many children, were crushed because of serious overcrowding in a steel-fenced stand shortly after the start of the Liverpool versus Nottingham Forest FA Cup semi-fmal.

"It was hell-hole in there. People were suffocating to death and being trampled on," said one survivor.

Almost all the casualties were Liverpool supporters. A grim-faced Mrs Thatcher visited the Hillsborough Ground in Sheffield

this morning, together with home secretary Douglas Hurd and Sport Minister Colin Moynihan.

"It is a disat,<r of enormous proportions coming on top of many precautions which clearly have not been enough," she said.

DEXTER TO DECIDE ON REBEL TOUR

THE new cha;'lTlan of England's cricket selectors, Ted Dexter, is to sound out of his player's feelings on a much -speculated 'rebel' tour to South Africa nex t winter.

As the national squad gathered at Lords on Thursday for a two-day training session, Dexter told reporters: ' 'I'll be speaking privately with individuals.

"I'm interested in any information that's available as there is so much heresay at the moment."

Dexter, manager Micky Stewart and captain David Gower will decide in the weeks ahead whether to recommend loyalty contracts for anum ber of players.

Dexter said he was also keen 'to foster a good sqU&d spirit before this summer's Ashes series against the Australians.

-BA's Mike Pieters beats Orlando's Steven Damaseb to tbe ball during tb~ir classic league clash at the Katutura Stadium on Saturday. Figbter Louis (no 7), Eric Quest (rigbt) and Indies Damaseb (far rigbt) wbo waits for a slip.

A GUTSY B&N Orlando Pirates, also known as tbe Sea Robbers, sailed smoothly from a two goal deficit to sbare 8 goals witb an evenly impressive Black Africa in their dramatic league clash at the Katutura Stadium on Saturday.

What made the match tick was the explosive goal scoring of the two side's strikers. The goals came as a result of the opportunism of like Stephen Damaseb (the soccer nomad who netted two for the Buecanneers) and his cousin, former Chief Santos ace marksman Peter 'Pele' Damaseb -nicknamed'Doctor'byhisBAfans.

Damaseb, who is still registered with Grootfontein-based Chelsea, scored two wonderful goals as he, on both occassions, chipped the ball over the outrushing BA's veteran goalie, Atta Werman, the first an equaliser and the second to put the Sea Robbers into the lead for the second time during the classic clash.

The Lively Lions, as Black Africa is also known, took the lead 25 min­utes into the fIrSt hili through a master header by Doctor Damaseb, which came after a beautiful comer-kick by

• .?i-t ~

The Nomad? Stephen Damaseb

Fellah Snewe (the latter did not score in this game, the first time he has failed to make it onto the score sheet this season).

The second period saw a resurgent Orlando Pirates, but BA's defence, spearheaded by prodigal son Indies Damaseb, held on for dear life.

For Doctor Damaseb, who was playing in his debut match for BA, it was a batism of fire, as he snatched his second goal in the early stages of the second stanza with a piledriver that gave the diving Bues keeper, Emmil Kauami, no chance at all.

The goal did not effect Pirates as the black and white shirts started to run hard at BA's defence. But over­hastiness caused them to miss many scoring chances, national striker Bami. Namaseb being the main culpret.

However, the never-say-die striker was eventually rewarded as his low, thunderous shot beat Atta Werman, a goal which added sparkle to his team­mates who started to launch attack after attack on the BA goal.

The Buccanneers were rewarded with a splendid goal by star of the match Stephen Damaseb, who coolly chipped the ball over Atta, as the veteran 'keeper again rushed off his line.

Three minutes later,BA's up-and­coming youngster, Eric 'Choice' Quest, cancelled Orlando's lead with a fiercly struck shot from 3S yards.

Orlando fought on and Kleintjie Gaseb, who have improved dramaticly in recent matches, added goal num­ber 3, as Atta failed to hold onto the former's comer-kick.

BA surged back in the 77th minute when their master dribbler Lucky Richter romped , home with another spectacular goal, putting his side back on equal terms.

By Conrad Angula

However the Lively Lions' happi­ness was short lived as Stephen Damaseb put the Sea Robbers in front once again, this time in the 83rd minute.

BA replaced wOrkaholic and stal­ward Fighter Louis for the creative youngster, Smithly Engelbrecht, who added sparks in midfield and caused headaches to the Pirates back four with his defence-splitting through passes.

As the crowd was starting to leave the ground, a BA corner found the net and cancelled Orlando's lead.

Axab Auchamp, Lesley Goago­seb, Kleintjie Gaseb, Bandi Namaseb, Stephen Damaseb (my player of the match) and captain Frans Kazimbu had an outstanding game for Orlando Pirates.

For Black Africa, Pele Damaseb, Indies Damaseb, the evergreen Big­man Schultz, Mike Pieters, Jomo Doeseb (without doubt BA's most outstanding player on Saturday) Eric Quest, Fellah Snewe (although he did not play his ussual game) and nimble-footed Lucky Richter, were brilliant.

In other matches played in Wind­hoek on Saturday, neW-<n1lers Golden Rivers beat Young Ones 1-0, Tigers drew 0-0 with Stars at the Show grounds, and Sorento Bucks beat visitors Explorer X 1 2-1, also at the Show grounds.

At Otjiwarongo, hosts Life Fight­ers drew 1-1 with the visiting Chief Santos, and Benfica lost 2-1 at Rundu against Cuca Tops in a controversial match where penalties were the or­der of the day.
