English transcription: Namibia (formerly called South West Africa) was a German colony in the late 19th century. In 1918 at the end of the First World War the territory was taken over by the League of Nations and administered under a mandate system, as a sacred trust for the indigenous peoples by the Union of South Africa. In 1947, the government of South Africa refused to place the territory under the United Nations Trusteeship System along with other former mandated territories in Africa. In defiance of numerous UN decisions the South African Government continues to refuse to withdraw from Namibia. It has imposed its policy of apartheid and will not allow the UN Council for Namibia to take over and guide the territory towards independence. Everyone in Namibia is told where he may or may not live and where he must not go without special permission. In this system of frontiers within frontiers Africans are restricted to tribally separated reserves euphemistically called "homelands" by the proponents of South Africa's policy of separate development. The opponents of that policy talk satirically of the semi-desert areas assigned to the various African peoples as Bantustans or more scornfully as separate little pieces of chicken run.
