The story gives insight into the everyday conflicts caused by psychological and physical sufferings of the people in regard to helplessness, poverty and starvation on the one side, and ignorance and apathy on the other side. The story goes beyond the colour bar during the apartheid era, it goes deep down to the roots of culture and traditions to reveal the causes of ignorance and malpractices and their consequences. The story is based on personal experiences about courage, commitment and caring for neglected, injured and disabled people. It is a story about life and devotion of a few doctors at the hospital in the far north of Namibia close to the Angolan border, inside the war zone where the war for independence was escalating. The story challenges the reader to value the people's character and to re-evaluate the honesty in regard to their social commitments.
The story, with its various conflicts, is a confrontation between truth and the permanent temptation of untruth. Freedom with responsibility should become the foundation of life and education, with providing reason, reasonableness and strength to overcome the weaknesses of disrespect, prejudice and opportunism, from where come the evils of unsocial behaviours like dishonesty, arrogance, nepotism and corruption associated with bribery and self-enrichment, which leads to discrimination, segregation and exploitation. All these aspects of inhumanity and irresponsibility cause the social imbalances with loss of trust among the people resulting in insecurity, increase of poverty and unrest.
Die Geschichte gibt Einblick in die Alltagskonflikte, verursacht durch die seelischen und körperlichen Leiden der Menschen in ihrer Hilflosigkeit, Armut und Verzehrung auf der einen Seite und der Ignoranz und Gleichgültigkeit auf der anderen Seite. Die Geschichte geht über die Farbschranke während der Apartheid hinaus und reicht tief zu den Wurzeln der Kultur und Traditionen.

Barriers on the Path to Freedom Barriers on the Path to Freedom In memory of the children who lost their fathers or mothers or both children who swallowed stones against hunger children with water bellies on stalk legs with big eyes who could not keep their lives children who were torn in pieces by landmines and those whose arms and legs were cut off after they have survived the blast children who got the misfortune by birth and those who could not make it up to birth.

Foreword Foreword The liberation stuggle had been carrying on in the north of Namibia since long before 1985. The apartheid regime was trying to hold on to the last threads of its existence. The Western powers continued their sanctions against South Africa. Decisions made by the United States and the former Soviet Union ( USSR ) ultimately led to the downfall of President P.W. Botha, and paved the way for resolving the issues in Namibia. After President Botha’sretirement in 1989, South Africa was pressurised to retreat and accept the inevitable independence of Namibia as a country with its own national sovereignty. It was during the time of war in the north of Namibia that Dr Ferdinand set foot on African soil for the first time. He was met by the beauty and vastness of the country, the scorching sun and the face of poverty and deprivation at Oshakati Hospital, all in one day. Barriers on the Path to Freedom is based on experiences of a medical doctor at Oshakati Hospital during the liberation struggle. The story touches on culture and traditions, ignorance and arrogance and the pain of the injured and the lost. It speaks against apartheid during the liberation struggle, the corruption and the inhumaneness. The story tells about the suffering of innocent and helpless people, the hardworking nurses and the few doctors who kept the neglected hospital running inside the war zone. The story is set against the backdrop of the hospital, the village and the lokasie , describing the military activities, the dusty roads and the poverty of the black people. The author introduces the characters in their emotional nakedness, the hatred and arrogance, but also the respect and companionship. He portrays the antagonism between the inexperience ot youth and the experience of age, between the military and civilian life, and how the evils become the ground for underhandedness and unscrupulous behaviour and competition, which in one case led to the death of a 14-year-old boy. The story describes the skills of doing operative procedures using improvisation due to the lack of the basic equipment and the shortages of drugs and blood units. The author contrasts the reality of the war and the poor conditions at the hospital with the beauty of music and art, the spectacular sunrises and sunsets and the extraordinary friendships. It is an intriguing story with compelling characters, medical work and innovations, and the poor people, waiting … waiting for the doctors, waiting to be treated, waiting to be healed, waiting to b heard!

Barriers on the Path to Freedom

In memory of the children

who lost their fathers or mothers or both

children who swallowed stones against hunger

children with water bellies on stalk legs with big eyes

who could not keep their lives

children who were torn in pieces by landmines

and those whose arms and legs were cut off

after they have survived the blast

children who got the misfortune by birth

and those who could not make it up to birth.

Foreword

The liberation stuggle had been carrying on in the north of Namibia since long before 1985. The apartheid regime was trying to hold on to the last threads of its existence. The Western powers continued their sanctions against South Africa. Decisions made by the United States and the former Soviet Union ( USSR ) ultimately led to the downfall of President P.W. Botha, and paved the way for resolving the issues in Namibia. After President Botha’sretirement in 1989, South Africa was pressurised to retreat and accept the inevitable independence of Namibia as a country with its own national sovereignty.

It was during the time of war in the north of Namibia that Dr Ferdinand set foot on African soil for the first time. He was met by the beauty and vastness of the country, the scorching sun and the face of poverty and deprivation at Oshakati Hospital, all in one day.

Barriers on the Path to Freedom is based on experiences of a medical doctor at Oshakati Hospital during the liberation struggle. The story touches on culture and traditions, ignorance and arrogance and the pain of the injured and the lost. It speaks against apartheid during the liberation struggle, the corruption and the inhumaneness.

The story tells about the suffering of innocent and helpless people, the hardworking nurses and the few doctors who kept the neglected hospital running inside the war zone. The story is set against the backdrop of the hospital, the village and the lokasie , describing the military activities, the dusty roads and the poverty of the black people.

The author introduces the characters in their emotional nakedness, the hatred and arrogance, but also the respect and companionship. He portrays the antagonism between the inexperience ot youth and the experience of age, between the military and civilian life, and how the evils become the ground for underhandedness and unscrupulous behaviour and competition, which in one case led to the death of a 14-year-old boy.
