National youth Puhlichor hu Fr lence I te for th orkers Socialist Leaque. 31. D Few tears will be shed at the assassination last Thursday of black politician Clemens Kapuuo, leading figure of the collaborationist Democratic Turnhalle Kapuuo was tipped as the likely president of the puppet "independent" state of Namibia, planned by the Vorster regime and it is likely that his killers were SWAPO militants from the liberation movement inside Namibia.

But the killing has upset external SWAPO leaders who deny responsibility.

In opposition to any independent mobilisation of the masses, SWAPO's external leaders concentrate on diplomatic negotiations through the UN.

The killing is a stern warning that there are militant forces at work in Namibia who have grown impatient with the diplomatic manoeuvres of these external "leaders"

Individual acts of terror such as this assassination are legitimate insofar as they are a part of an armed struggle strategy based on the independent mobilisation of the masses.

SWAPO leaders, however continue to swing between such acts and diplomatic manoeuvres around the Organisation of African Unity and "progressive capitalist countries.

The struggle for a truly independent Namibia will be achieved only through a truly independent around which the masses can be mobilised.

Central to this programme is the demand for a constituent assembly-a demand which must be tied to the dissolution of the existing state: namely the army, the civilian administration and the courts.
