Summary

This factually detailed account of the devastating consequences of the South African war for the civilian population is compulsory reading for an understanding of the present situation in Namibia. While most other current publications on Namibia address themselves to the international dispute and the prospects for an independent Namibia, this booklet focuses on the conditions of life for black Namibians under military occupation, forced removals, the machinery of repression and the destruction of social infrastructure. It shows how the pervasive military presence serves to underpin the exploitative economic structures and racial policies, and how the military apparatus has increasingly become the dominant force in Namibia. The author concludes that the South Africans have not achieved their aim of subduing the population, and that support for SWAPO has grown despite the sufferings inflicted on all sections of the Namibian population. The evidence presented is drawn largely from church reports and Namibian newspapers. (Eriksen/Moorsom 1989).
