ARCHBISHOP Denis Hurley of Durban, head of South Africa's Catholics, has strongly criticised South Africa's continuing war against guerrillas seeking independance for Namibia.
The fighting is a "tragedy" and South Africa wanted to prevent Namibian independence on any terms except its own. the Archbishop said, addressing the Southern African Catholic Bishops' Conference, of which he is president.
Archbishop Hurley said South African raids in Namibia and in Southern Angola where the guerrillas have bases may also be aimed at preventing the African National Congress from using neighbouring countries as bases.
