Who really killed Anton Lubowski ?

35 years ago, anti-Apartheid activist advocate Anton Lubowski was assassinated outside his home in Windhoek. His killers have still not been brought to book, but his widow Gabriele is still fighting for justice. In this interview with BizNews, she describes a walk Anton took with Hage Geingop, the now late President of Namibia, on the morning of his death. “…And he must have told Hage Geingop what burdened him. And a couple of hours later, he was dead. What is significant to me is that whenever somebody asked Hage Geingop about that, he immediately threatened them with lawyers.” She said the family had to leave Windhoek in ’92 because “I was just warned: Leave your fingers from this case. It is dangerous for you and the children.” Although a High Court inquest did find that Anton was killed by a hitman hired by the South African National Defense Force’s Civil Cooperation Bureau (CCB), Gabriele believes “they were only used as a decoy” and that the alleged hitman was “just a patsy” who “couldn't even hold an AK-47”. She describes visiting the CCB’s Ferdi Barnard in prison and believes he “really didn’t know” who had killed Anton. Gabrielle also addresses suspicions that Anton was a South African Military Intelligence (MI) spy, and says: “So whatever information Anton had, that he shared with Hage Geingob on the Tuesday morning of his death…was stronger…then the decision was taken, this guy needs to go.”
