Abstract
SOUTH AFRICA HAS administered the territory of South West Africa (Namibia) for over half a century, but recently has agreed to grant independence on the basis of democratic elections. International concern over South Africa's administration of the mandated territory has been a paticular cause of friction with most of the rest of the world. Because Namibia and South Africa share a common border, events in Namibia have a direct bearing upon South African national security. Pretoria asserts that current aggressive moves in Africa by the Soviet Union, including the activities of Soviet sponsored organizations within Zimbabwe and Namibia, are clear and present dangers to South Africa. The purpose of this article is to examine the chief actors, and explore the pertinent problems, involved in the issue of Namibian independence.
