		Pohamba became Swapo’s Secretary for Finance (from 1977) and the head of operations in Luanda, Angola (1982-89) – positions that may have required less bravura than his 1960s exploits – but nonetheless ones that showed that Nujoma and his senior comrades placed a high degree of trust in him.
		Pohamba, when he spoke about the plans a few days after Gurirab’s TV address, seemed only to confuse matters further by suggesting that any farm could be taken for resettlement.
		Pohamba and Nujoma – given their long combined history – would work best together, while an Angula or Hamutenya presidency would be bound to create more tensions with the man who is set to lead Swapo as a party until 2007.
