<p> He ended 30 years of exile by kissing the ground and
proclaiming a "spirit of peace, love and national
reconciliation." But the homecoming of Sam Nujoma, leader of the
South West Africa People's Organization, was overshadowed last
week by old hatreds and death. Two days before Nujoma's arrival,
Anton Lubowski, a Namibian-born lawyer and a prominent white
SWAPO activist, was gunned down outside his home in Windhoek.
Within 36 hours police announced that they were holding a white
man in connection with the killing.

<p> Nujoma, who has waged a protracted armed struggle against
South African rule, returned to Namibia in time to register as
a voter in the November elections for a constituent assembly,
which will prepare the territory for final independence next
year. But SWAPO's election director, Hage Geingob, is among
those who fear that Namibia's history of political bloodshed may
not yet be over. If any harm came to Nujoma, he said, "the
consequences would be too ghastly to contemplate."
