1981? The passengers should have been happy, since this was a few years before the treacherous National Party Government of South Africa turned SWA over to SWAPO bandits. The newspeak term for this process is "independence".
But then, these guys at least aren't as degenerated as our "ruling class":
Namibian President Orders Gay Purge

Homosexuals in Namibia were in fear for their safety yesterday after President Sam Nujoma ordered police to "arrest, deport and imprison" them. In an outburst seemingly prompted by figures showing a sharp increase in
Namibia's Aids infection rate, the ageing president said homosexuals and lesbians should be purged from society. Members of the gay community predicted that they would be forced to flee the country, probably to neighbouring South Africa where freedom of sexual expression is protected by the constitution.
Mr Nujoma told students at the University of Namibia: "We do not allow homosexuality or lesbianism here. Police are ordered to arrest you and deport you and imprison you too." He blamed "foreign influences" for homosexuality in Namibia, which he said threatened to destroy the nation. Independent legal experts in Windhoek said they were unsure what action the police could take to carry out the presidential order.
Jerry Ekandjo, Namibia's home affairs minister, caused similar confusion last year when he urged newly graduated police officers to "eliminate gays and lesbians from the face of Namibia".
Ian Swartz, co-ordinator of the gay lobbying group the Rainbow Project, said his office had been swamped with inquiries about emigration. His movement had about 1,000 members but there were "many more Namibians who are afraid to reveal their sexual orientation".
