A SWAPO leader who spent eight years on Robben Island was rearrested in the north of Namibia on 12 March this year and is being held, it is believed, under Proclamation AG9.
Jacob GHIDUNA was transferred to Windhoek Central Prison in October 1981 pending his imminent release, having served an eight year sentence on Robben Island under the Sabotage Act. The former Vice-Chairman of the SWAPO Youth League, he was sentenced by the Swakopmund Supreme Court in November 1973 together with other SWAPO youth leaders Jerry EKANDJO and Martin KAPAWASHA.
Nghiduna is believed to have been arrested under AG9 in his home area of Ongenga, reportedly for breaking curfew regulations. His place of detention is not known.
