A five part series.
South Africa took control of Namibia in 1920 under a League of Nations' mandate, and despite United Nations' demands for them to withdraw, and a similar ruling by the International Court, they still maintain their presence with an army of occupation that is bigger than ever. It is trying to hold back the efforts of the South West African People's Organisation to take over a country which South Africans regard as the last buffer against what they see as the onslaught of Communism and the evil of Black majority rule. There's talk of cease-fire this year and elections in 1983, but the reality of the situation depends on events in Pretoria and the South African Prime Minister's struggle to maintain dominance over his right wing.
