The newsletter says the United States government, the United Nations Secretary General and his Special Representative in Windhoek have all admonished the South African Administrator General in occupied Namibia to disband totally the members of the terror brigade, Koevoet and that Administrator General Louis Pienaar has refused. The newsletter says Pienaar will not weed out Koevoet from the South West African Police (SWAPOL) into which he transferred them at the beginning of the year. The newsletter says Pienaar refuses to fire General Hans Dreyer, the founder of Koevoet and now Pretoria's top cop in northern Namibia. The newsletter discusses SWAPO and the South West Africa Territorial Force (SWATF). The newsletter says in the north Angolans belonging to South Africa's ally, UNITA, have crossed the border and are being registered to vote. The newsletter says the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law has warned that if it is generally believed the election was not fair, Namibians will not accept the results.
