An educational staff member of the Council of Churches in Namibia, Mr Kelwyn SOLE, was served with a deportation order on 14 March, giving him seven days in which to leave the country. According to Mr Sole, the order had been served on him by members of the security police on behalf of the office of the Administrator General. No reasons were given for his expulsion.
In a cable to the Administrator General, the General Secretary of the Lutheran World Federation protested at the expulsion of Finnish missionaries from Namibia and at the notice given to Mr Sole. He said: "These attacks on the church continue to discredit your administration's claim to seek peaceful solutions to Namibian problems".
