(21 Jun 1975) RR7525A NAMIBIA REPORT
In Namibia (South-West Africa), Nationalist groups,
led by SWAPO, have long campaigned for independence
from Pretoria. The UN supports them. In 1974, an attempt
was made to have South Africa expelled from the world body
over the issue. This month, an arms embargo was called for,
and only the veto of the US, UK and France prevented both
measures. We look at the political aspects, talk to SWAPO
and white leaders and to religious leaders including a last
interview with Bishop Wood of Damaraland before his expulsion.
Also shown are the giant Ruacana hydro- electric project and
the lucrative diamond industry at Oranjemund.
