Question: When did the country where the birthplace of Pieter Boddaert is found, refuse to surrender Namibia?

compared to neighbouring countries, namibia has a large degree of media freedom. over the past years, the country usually ranked in the upper quarter of the press freedom index of reporters without borders, reaching position 21 in 2010, being on par with canada and the best-positioned african country. the african media barometer shows similarly positive results. [citation needed] however, as in other countries, there is still mentionable influence of representatives of state and economy on media in namibia. in 2009, namibia dropped to position 36 on the press freedom index. in 2013, it was 19th. in 2014 it ranked 22nd <SEP> It was established in 1995. Its primary purpose is flood control and it is owned by Optimum Colliery Pullen's Hope. Boschmanskop No 1+2 Dam, is an earth-fill type dam on the Woes-Alleen River, near Middelburg, Mpumalanga, South Africa. <SEP> South Africa occupied the colony in 1915 after defeating the German force during World War I and administered it from 1919 onward as a League of Nations mandate territory. Although the South African government desired to incorporate 'South-West Africa' into its territory, it never officially did so, although it was administered as the de facto 'fifth province', with the white minority having representation in the whites-only Parliament of South Africa, as well as electing their own local administration the SWA Legislative Assembly. The South African government also appointed the SWA administrator, who had extensive powers. The Herero Chief's Council submitted a number of petitions to the UN calling for it to grant Namibia independence during the 1950s. Following the League's replacement by the United Nations in 1946, South Africa refused to surrender its earlier mandate to be replaced by a United Nations Trusteeship agreement, requiring closer international monitoring of the territory's administration (along with a definite independence schedule). During the 1960s, when European powers granted independence to their colonies and trust territories in Africa, pressure mounted on South Africa to do so in Namibia. In 1966 the International Court of Justice dismissed a complaint brought by Ethiopia and Liberia against South Africa's continued presence in the territory, but the U.N. General Assembly subsequently revoked South Africa's mandate, while in 1971 the International Court of Justice issued an "advisory opinion" declaring South Africa's continued administration to be illegal. <SEP> The younger Pieter obtained his M.D. at the University of Utrecht in 1764 and there became a lecturer on natural history. Fourteen letters survive of his correspondence with Carl Linnaeus between 1768 and 1775. Boddaert was the son of a Middelburg jurist and poet by the same name (1694–1760). He was a friend of Albert Schlosser, whose cabinet of "curiosities" of natural history he described. <SEP> eswatini, lesotho, botswana, namibia, and the republic of south africa form the southern african customs union (sacu), where import duties apply uniformly to member countries. eswatini, lesotho, namibia, and south africa also are members of the common monetary area (cma) in which repatriation and unrestricted funds are permitted. eswatini issues its own currency, the lilangeni (plural: emalangeni), which is at par with the south african rand.
