certainly not the Namibian people, which continues to rally behind SWAP0 and to provide the backbone of and ensure popular support for our movement, which expresses the unity and determination of our people in the struggle. 19. Now, of course, we all know the reason for the latest aggression against Angola. This reason was given on 20 September by the racist War Minister of Botha, namely, Magnus Malan. If ever there was any need for proof about Pretoria’s active involvement with and direct military and other forms of support for renegade Savimbi and his mer- cenary bandits of UNITA, Malan has put it on record. He confirmed that the racist troops launched their military offensive emanating from Namibia-which they occupy illegally-as a rescue operation to bail out the bandits of UNITA. That was the reason, not the falsehoods and lies about SWAPO. 20. Needless to say, it is quite obvious who the criminal is. But let it be said once again that no amount of constant repetition of distortions, disinformation, name-calling and red-herrings will change the situation. Apartheid South Africa, which is public enemy number one of Africa and its people, cannot claim for itself the right to speak for the interests and security of the African people, making insult- ing utterances about “our continent” and “fellow Afri- cans”. The racists have made themselves the central problem facing Africa. Their actions remind us daily of this fact. Who gave them the right to speak for the masses of the African people, particularly the black people? They despise us, treating us like dogs, denying us our humanity and dignity, enslaving us in the land of our birth, monop- olizing State power and economic benefits for a tiny white minority of the population in Namibia and in South Africa.
