On the eight o’clock SABC news on September 11 1989 Lubowski was shown greeting SWAPO exiles at Windhoek airport. The next day he was gunned down in front of his Windhoek house. The man who was five years later named by a Supreme Court judge as his assassin, Irish criminal and professional assassin, Donald Acheson, was arrested for the murder the next day. Because of the incompetence and in some cases complicity of the police officers and justice officials, severely criticized by inquest judge Levi, he was never convicted, and is now apparently back in Ireland. Acheson identified Ferdi Barnard as the man who recruited him to poison Windhoek newspaper editor Gwen Lister and monitor Lubowski. The full conspiracy slowly unfolded. The CCB”s region six was targeted to disrupt SWAPO before the independence elections through sabotage and assassination. The diary of the CCB’s regional coordinator, Wouter Basson has this entry on August 3, 1993. Crime two was Lubowski, under options he wrote, ”witchdoctor (Anton), medical, car bomb, close-up action, distance.” On September 1, 1989 the CCB regional manager, Staal Burger and CCB members Wouter Basson, Chappie Maree, Calla Botha and Slang van Zyl met at the Rosebank Hotel to discuss Lubowski’s assassination. Ferdi Barnard’s elaborate videotape of Lubowski’s home was shown.
