Action of Neighbourhood Watch questionable after road accident

Ship owner faces penalty for dumping
The Narraville community cries foul after a man was recently convicted of drunken driving after an accident in which he also knocked over and injured a 9-year-old boy. Community members are asking questions specifically because the culprit's father is a member of the Narraville Neighbourhood Watch and despite being off-duty at the time of the accident personally intervened at the accident scene. Disgruntled community members, including the injured boy's parents feel the idea of community policing is not there for certain members of the community to take the law in their own hands, or enjoy protection from the law due to their relations to these community law enforcers. They feel the culprit should also have been charged with reckless and negligent driving, an offence that carries far more weight than a drunken driving offence.
Cherry-Lee Alcock and her son walked in Narraville's Namib Street on Saturday, 23 January this year when the culprit, Ricardo Kisting, hit her son with his vehicle on the wrong side of the road and with their backs facing Kisting's vehicle. Within minutes, members of the Namibian Police and members of the Narraville Neighbourhood Watch arrived at the scene, including Kisting's father. Kisting was taken away from the scene and charged with drun-
ken driving (CR 17/01/2016). Alcock's injured son was taken to the Welwitschia Private Hospital by St. Gabriel Community Ambulance. Although the boy sustained non-life threatening injuries, his mother Cherry-Lee Alcock was grossly dissatisfied when she learnt last week Kisting received bail of N$4 000 on the same day as the accident. The next week he pleaded guilty on a charge of drunken Continues on page 2

Questionable Continued fromPage 1 driving and was fined N$6 000 and his driver's license revoked for three months. Alcock felt the Namibian Police's unit that deals with internal discipline must launch an investigation into the conduct of three police officials and neighbourhood watch members that were on the scene on the day of the accident. Why was Kisting not charged with reckless and negligent driving, as this could have changed the conviction to a more serious one that would reflect Kisting's punishment in line with the injuries her child sustained. Given the fact that a certain Namibian is going on trial for murder for the death of six people he allegedly caused in December 2014, another community member felt Kisting should have been charged with attempted murder, as he was under the influence of alcohol and could have foreseen he was putting people's lives in danger if driving under the influence of alcohol. The fact that he caused the accident in the wrong lane was also a strong case for a charge of reckless and negligent driving.

Liesl Losper ‘n Werkgewer wie se huishulp op 25 Januarie vanjaar effektief tot tien maande gevangenisstraf gevonnis is vir diefstal, bepleit dit dat daar maatreëls of 'n stelsel in plek geplaas word om aansoekers vooraf te evalueer en te sien waar die persoon vantevore gewerk het, en of daar enige vertrouensoortredings was. Diana Kauzepa Kavari (26) is verlede Maandag in die Walvisbaai landdroshof tot tien maande tronkstraf gevonnis. Toe die polisie haar vir diefstal ondersoek het, is daar vasgestel benewens N$14 000 kontant aan haar persoon, het sy ook 'n stewige bankrekening gehad. Kavari, wat in 'n informele huisie bly was in weelde uitgerus met 'n platskerm televisie, klanktoerusting en duur selfoon en kon nie verduidelik waar sy aan alles gekom het nie. Na 'n ondersoek is sy in hegtenis geneem en na 'n verhoor is sy tot tronkstraf gevonnis. Daar was geen keuse van 'n boete nie.
Die onstoke werkgewer het na afloop verduidelik sy het Kavari by haar aangestel op sterkte van wat mense van haar oor haar goeie werk gesê het. Kavari het oor die nodige dokumente en getuigskrif beskik, maar die werknemer het versuim om dit op te volg. Kavari het haar werkgewer oor 'n tydperk besteel, en so haar weelderige leefstyl gefinansier, tot die hof verlede Maandag die mat onder haar uitgeruk het. Kavari se saak is nou die jongste toetssaak waarvoor huishulpe wat steel lig sal moet loop.

New road Continued from Page 1 February this year, an official said this week. The project is only the first phase of a wider road construction project in the Erongo Region. Other roads that will become freeway standard in the medium term are the B2 coastal road, the MR 44 that runs behind the dune belt as well as the MR36 that runs between Walvis Bay and the Walvis Bay Airport. These projects would follow after phase one of the B2, and could commence in as little as five years, an official said who declined to be named as he is not permitted to speak to the media.
In the Swakopmund District, including Arandis and Henties Bay, the numbers of clients who received their HIV results dropped from 8 715 in 2014 to 8 066 in 2015. Statistics shows that the number of HIV negative people also dropped from 8 221 in 2014 to 7 646 in 2015. The positive results show a drop, from 494 in 2014 to 420 in 2015. In the Walvis Bay district statistics of HIV infected people is lower than the HIV positive results in the Swakopmund district, in 2014 the number of HIV negative statistics were at 9 195 while in 2015 it dropped to 6 942. In 2014 the HIV positive results were at 531 and dropped to 393 in 2015. According to Chief Health Programme Officer Ms Valombola, the reason why the numbers have increased is because they advocate a lot.
They advise each and every patient who go for observation to get tested and most of the time while the patients are waiting in the waiting area, they have education and advocacy classes on HIV/AIDS. The statistics also show that most of the people who go for HIV counselling and testing are females. “We are aiming for an HIV-free generation so each and every women who is pregnant is tested, just to avoid mother to child infections and to make sure that if the mother is infected, they get treatment as soon as possible,” said Valombola. The regional statistics for stakeholders, people not tested at the Ministry’s health centre, shows that only 8 410 people received their results and 8 130 of them were tested negative while the rest (262) were tested positive.

Skeepseienaar staar groot boetes in die gesig na bottels olie op strand uitspoel Madelaine Laubscher 'n Ondersoek word deur die Namibiese owerhede geloods nadat 'n sak met bottels waarin skeepsoliemonsters geplaas is, op die kusgebied naby Jakkalsputz naby Hentiesbaai uitgespoel het. Inligting vervat op die bottels dui daarop dat dit oliemonsters is wat geneem is aan boord van die chemiese tenkskip Sea Challenger wat teen gister nog voor anker in die baai van Walvisbaai gewag het op 'n beurt om die hawe binne te gaan. Die verwagting is dat die owerhede as 'n saak van dringendheid met die kaptein wil praat, aangesien antwoorde verwag word hoe die sak met bottels met olie in die see beland het. Verskeie stukke wetgewing in NamibiĂŤ maak oliebesoedeling of die storting van afval, en selfs vis, strafbaar met boetes wat tot een miljoen Namibiese Dollar kan beloop. Gister was dit onduidelik onder watter wetgewing die kaptein en skeepseienaar moontlik verantwoordelik gehou sal word. 'n Leser het op 1 Februarie vanjaar die strand besoek en 'n vullissak vol bottels met 'n onbekende swart inhoud gevind. Dit het uitgespoel op die strand. Volgens die leser het dit 'n ruk gevat vir die sak om uit te spoel. 'n Foto verskyn hiernaas van die sak wat besig is om uit te spoel, die bottels asook die etikette wat die skeepsnaam en selfs IMV-nommer (Internasionale Maritieme Vereniging) aandui. Dit is duidelik dat die olie sy oorsprong het in oliemonsters wat aan boord van die vaartuig geneem is. Dit is roetine om oliemonsters te neem, aangesien dit deel vorm van streng onderhoudskedules aan boord. Dit mag egter nooit oorboord gegooi word nie, en dit is juis waarom die owerhede nou hul neuse in die saak gaan steek.

Operation Omake to launch in Erongo Region Mavourlene !Gaёs Operation Omake will soon launch in the Erongo Region. The launch was announced by the NamPol Erongo regional police commander, Andreas Nelumbu at a stakeholder's meeting held at the Civic Centre in Walvis Bay yesterday afternoon. Nelumbu who chaired the meeting said an appropriate time and date for the laucnch still need to be verified among the stakeholders. At the meeting, the regional commander said that it is very important to combine ideas on how to go about operations in the Erongo region of which the main objectives are to prevent crime and protect the community. “With the launch of Operation Omake, we are going to come out to the criminals; we will no longer be hiding in the shadows and be under cover. They will know now that we are coming for them.” Nelumbu outlined some of the areas of concern in the region as well as temporary solutions that should be implemented in those areas. He said they have identified the areas between Mondesa and DRC in Swakopmund as danger points, especially at night with the numerous attacks and rapes that have been reported to them. “With poor light emissions of lamp poles in those areas, the criminals are using that to their advantage in order to ambush and attack people moving at night.” Nelumbu further added to that point and said, “with the participation of the municipality, Police Public Relations Committee (PPRC) and Erongo Red, the possible and temporary solution will be to stop and search all persons and charge those found with dangerous weapons or unlicensed firearms.”
Kuisebmond, Lagoon, Long Beach and the Namib Naukluft Park have also been identified as areas of concern in Walvis Bay. “For Kuisebmond, our concern is the people moving to and from the factories that are hindered and attacked during dark hours. For the Lagoon area and Long Beach, we have had reports of vehicles belonging to tourists being broken into at scenic points. For the Namib Naukluft Park, people are illegally hunting and that is also a matter of concern.” According to Nelumbu, the possible and temporary solutions to these problems are to intensify patrols with stop and search operations in the areas and safety tips signs in the areas identified. He also urged everyone to play their part as stakeholders, to give their support in the necessary areas. “It is very important that we have the necessary support in order to fight crime in the region. Stakeholders such as the Municipalities, PPRC, Security Company Forum and Neighbourhood watch groups also play a vital role in that fight.” Operation Omake was launched in November last year by the Minister of Safety and Security, Charles Namoloh. The operation was established as per directive from President Hage Geingob to law enforcement agencies to intensify crime prevention initiatives and public safety operations aimed at combating the increase in crime.

The destroyed house in Kuisebmond
Kuisebmond house destroyed by drunken driver Mavourlene !Gaёs A house in Brandberg Street, Kuisebmond was destroyed by an alleged drunken driver on Wednesday afternoon. The driver was arrested the same day and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, reckless and/or negligent driving, driving without a driver's licence and operating an unlicenced and unregistered motor vehicle on a public road. The suspect is due to appear in the Walvis Bay Magistrate's Court today. According to Christian Shimaneni who lives in the house that the motor vehicle drove into, he was at work at the time of the accident. “I was working when I received a call from my daughter informing me that a bakkie drove into our house. I rushed home and when I got here, I found the driver of the vehicle drunk and without a licence,” Shimaneni stressed. His daughter, Christophine Shimaneni was at home at the time of the accident. “I was at home the whole day even when the accident happened, I was just behind our house. I was so shocked when I heard the noise and saw what happened,” Christophine said. An eyewitness at the scene claimed the driver's alcohol level was beyond the normal limit. “That man has already been warned by the police but he did not listen, he just took the keys of the car and started driving it. The alcohol level was at 1.60, this is not acceptable,” the eyewitness fumed.

The 2016 Summer Bird Count took place on Saturday and Sunday at various locations in and around Walvis Bay. According to Mr Peter Bridgeford of the CETN the total for the Ramsar site (95 280), is the lowest summer count for several years but they know many of the species, usually found in large numbers, have disappeared to breed inland, and these include Black-necked Grebes, Cape Teal and Chestnut–banded Plovers. Curlew Sandpipers and tern numbers are also low. Although the flamingos are not breeding in Etosha and Botswana, their numbers in Walvis Bay are low (46 000). However, about 70 000 were counted at Sandwich Harbour. Cape Cross only had a small number. The total number counted at the sewage works is 14 892. On the picture above is an Egret, spotted in the Walvis Bay lagoon - the count only recorded a couple of dozen of Egrets.

Swakopmund municipality holds seminar on urban gardening Sharlien Tjambari The Swakopmund municipality held a seminar this week focusing on urban gardening, a concept where vegetable growing, fish farming and animal husbandry are practised in cities, towns and villages. Although urban farming is a relatively known principle in many parts of the world, the seminar in Swakopmund focused more on creating awareness and information sharing on urban gardening. At the end of the meeting the participants were expected to collect and spread to wider population groups, the knowledge on urban gardening, accept urban gardening as a feasible way of food production and citizens are also expected to have knowledge on practical and affordable measures when it comes to urban gardening. The seminar attracted council members from as far as Sweden and Zambia. The city of Malmo in Sweden and Swakopmund Municipality have a memorandum of under-standing where both parties agreed to work together in projects of sustainable develop-
ment, such as urban gardening, waste management and marine food. One of the delegates during the meeting said it is a good thing that the town councillors and the Mayor of Swakopmund, Pauline Nashilundo were present because he wanted to speak on the issue of allocation of plots. He said leaders discourage city farming because the leaders allocate small plots to people, thus making it very difficult for one to have a small garden in the backyard, especially plots in Mondesa, Kuisebmond and all the other less developed suburbs. During the seminar, the General Manager of Health Services at the Swakopmund Municipality, Clive Lawrence said West Side High School has an urban garden which is up and running and very successful.

Namibians to have a say over possible time change An official letter is circulating in the public domain since mid January this year of the Ministry of Immigration and Border Control, as the custodians of the Time Act (Act 3 of 1994)”, requesting for inputs from the public to determine whether there is rationale to do away with what Namibians know for the past 22 years as winter time.

Request for reader’s assistance from Spain
Since long together with a close friend of mine we are trying to put together a report on the development of motor vehicle registration plates and systems in Namibia since the start in the beginning of the 20th century, and thanks to the permanent support by Mrs Trudi Stols and others we have been able to advance quite well including official data like the first proclamation of 1919 and old pictures. However, there are still a few enigmas, and one of them refers to the creation of the “Sd” identification mark on the registration plates. Maybe some reader of your newspaper has the answer. Registration of motor vehicles did not start in Namibia (at that time South West Africa) until 1919. Every magisterial district got its individual identification mark like "B” for Bethanië, “L” for Lüderitz or “W” for Windhoek, and “S” would logically have been assigned to Swakopmund, but NO ! Swakopmund started using “Sd”, which was in use until 1968 – why “Sd” and not just “S” ? Would it be possible to put this question to your readers ? We would like to get in contact with anybody, who might be interested in our research. Best regards from a today quite chilly but sunny Barcelona (+9º) and thanks in advance for your attention.

Desks and chairs for Ngaturihonge Day-care and Pre-primary centre
“Funny stuff”in lagoon harmless Cosdec's joinery and cabinet making students of 2016, children of Ngaturihonge Day-care, and Yvonne and Gloria at the handover of the desks and chairs at Ngaturihonge premises.
Sharlien Tjambari The Community Skills and Development Centre (COSDEC) Swakopmund donated chairs, tables and small cupboards to Ngaturihonge Daycare and Pre-primary Centre in Oletweni, Mondesa. According to Swakopmund COSDEC's Centre Manager, Mr Marilyn Eibes they decided to make the desks and chairs for the little ones at the centre after the principal of the Centre, Gloria Zatjirua approached her last year asking for wooden blocks to use as toys for the children at her day-care and pre-primary centre. “Since her visit at our centre, we went to visit Gloria's kindergarten and to see how it looked and we saw that there is a need, so we decided that if there is a possibility of helping her, we will help,” said Eibes. The chairs, desks and cupboards were produced or made by the joinery and cabinet making students of 2015, who will graduate this year in March. Eibes said that in the long run the centre will have a shop were the public can go and view or buy some of the products that the students make, but they do not want to get rid of the things through selling. “We as a centre, our obligation to the community is giving back to the community” said Eibes. Eibes also said that they (COSDEC) want to continue in terms of delivering service to the community. The next time they will identify another group and their help depends on what the need is and what they are able to provide. Gloria, the principal of the day-care and pre-primary centre was touched by the generosity of COSDEC, “I was not expecting them to do all this for my children. She called me only this morning to tell me they are coming to drop things off, I never even imagined such a big group of people” narrated Gloria. According to the owner and the teacher, Yvonne Zatjirua, the day-care have over 25 children and the chairs and tables by COSDEC will be of use especially in her pre-primary class. Ngaturihonge Day-care and Pre-primary is now four years in existence. When namib times arrived at the centre, the children were having lunch, they were all eating rice and a nice thick soup. According to Yvonne, she provides the lunch herself and sometimes she has people who give her some vegetables and juice, but sometimes there is nothing because of a lack of donations from her friends and relatives. “Some of this children come to the centre without proper lunch boxes and they remain here until late afternoon and I can't watch the children starve so I sometimes cook my last food for them,” said the warm hearted Yvonne. If there is anyone who is willing to help with anything useful for the children whether it is food, crayons, old puzzles and toys, please get in touch with Yvonne.

Mayor urges investment in education Mavourlene !Gaёs Mavourlene !Gaёs The Mayor of Walvis Bay, Alderman Immanuel Wilfred applauded Rössing Uranium Limited for playing their part in eradicating poverty through education. The mayor spoke at the donation ceremony where Rio Tinto gave a donation of N$144 000 to Promiseland Trust on Friday afternoon. According to Wilfred poverty affects more than a third of our children rather severely whilst a significant number of children's physical development is also impaired as a result of malnutrition, as a lack of proper food and poverty are interconnected. “About 13% of primary school aged children are not attending school. The school dropout rate at secondary level is also increasing. Furthermore, the levels of violence and child abuse in Namibia are disturbing. We can cite many more unpleasant facts and figures, but the questions will remain: what are we doing about it? Our responsibility is to ensure that these numbers are reduced drastically,” he stressed.
Alderman Wilfred thanked Rio Tinto and said their donation signifies the importance of this particular sector within the education system, a sector which lays the foundation of a child's future academic and emotional development. Education at all levels plays a pivotal role in the future of any nation. “It is uplifting to observe that here in Wal-vis Bay we are giving pre-primary education the prominence it is worthy of.” He further said although local authorities are not directly involved in the education sector there is a realisation, if councils do not facilitate a conducive learning environment for children, that education will not be successful. “Our social and urban development plans make thorough pro-
vision for the education sector.” According to Wilfred the Walvis Bay Municipal Council has over the years encouraged investment in all sectors of education. “For example, we have identified the need for pre-primary schooling and have approved many such applications over the years. It is certainly a trend that we would continue to support in future. We recognise that central government should not be the key stakeholder in education. Everyone has a vital role to play, and you as stakeholders have excelled in your own particular ways.” He added however, organisations such as Promiseland, cannot do it on their own. That is why the support rendered by big corporates such as Rössing Uranium is absolutely crucial.

“Sell the land to us or we build on Council’s land” Sharlien Tjambari
Residents of Swakopmund's Democratic Resettlement Community (DRC) issued a stern warning this week, should the municipality of Swakopmund not respond in due course whether the community can buy the entire settlement, they will buy construction materials and start to build houses. The Concerned Citizens Association, a communication channel between the DRC community and Swakopmund municipality chaired by DRC resident Laidlaw Peringanda, accuses the Chief Executive Officer Mr Eckart Demasius of ignoring a previous letter in which the community put a proposal on the table to buy up the land and acquire ownership to build proper houses. Shacks are dangerous and annually shack fires destroy informal houses, property and lead to injuries and death of residents. Citizens will again today, hand over a similar letter of request to buy the land from the muni-
Mr Laidlaw Peringanda cipality of Swakopmund. If the letter is ignored, threatened citizens, they will build themselves proper homes. “We want everything to be transparent so most of the DRC residents will be present during the handing over of the letter. We heard that Demasius' contract will not be renewed and therefore
want him to respond before he leaves,” said Peringanda. Peringanda also said the DRC concerned group want to see who the real culprits are. Is it Government who does not want to grand the DRC community with development, of the Swakopmund Town Council or simply the CEO of the Swakopmund Municipality?

Various complaints surfaced from locals regarding their post boxes being locked at Nampost Walvis Bay, and that after they claim they have paid the annual renewal of their post boxes. Post office personnel could not care and simply lock the boxes and then demand from disgruntled customers to show proof of payment. According to various complainants, as much as up to six per day, they have made electronic fund transfers (EFT) to Nampost, yet find that their postboxes were locked. It is suspected these payments are handled in Windhoek whereafter post offices countrywide are notified who paid and who did not. “This is happening on a regular basis. We pay on time via EFT, but still find our postboxes locked and when we approach the staff members to establish why it is locked, we are treated badly,” an angry post box holder said this week. Despite several requests, Nampost Walvis Bay's senior staff refuse to comment.

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste Gerhard Bylevelds Bestreben:Swakopmund sauberhalten! Swakopmund (sk) Er wirkt bescheiden, doch hinter der Zurückhaltung steckt ein großes Herz, das sich für ein sauberes Swakopmund einsetzt. Seit acht Jahren strebt Gerhard Byleveld mit seiner stetig expandierenden Firma vorzügliche Leistung an. Das Unternehmen Advertising Displays ist für die Leuchtreklame an den Straßenecken verantwortlich, ausgeschlossen die großen Leuchtuhren. Gerhard Bylevelds Vision ist ein strahlendes Swakopmund, in dem Kunden, Touristen und Eiwohner sich wohlfühlen. Daher beschloss er bereits im Jahre 2009, sich mit der Stadtverwaltung Swakopmunds zusammenzuschließen, die seiner Meinung nach eine großartige Aufgabe, nämlich die Verschönerung des Touristenmekkas, meisterhaft leistet. Damals unternahm Byleveld mit Hans Kriess sowie der im April 2011 im Swakoprivier ertrunkenen Berdine Potgieter und Alden Strauss (letztere beide damals bei der Stadtverwaltung tätig) eine Tour durch Swakopmund, um Schandflecke aus der Sicht des Touristen/Besuchers zu identifizieren. Dabei wurden etliche unschöne Anblicke vermerkt und von der Stadtverwaltung behoben. Gerhard Byle-

Ist es nicht mindestens ebenso lobenswert, dass eine Privatfirma sich mit Herz und Verstand für eine saubere Stadt einsetzt?

Buying a primary residence is probably the single best decision someone can make for their financial future. However, when you purchase second homes, vacation houses, rental properties, commercial buildings, and raw land held for potential appreciation, you are playing a whole new ball game.
market. In fact so exceptional that it was published earlier this year that Namibia has one of the fastest growing house prices in the world, only second to Dubai. Drawdowns on Physi-
A far better option for those who have an affinity for property is to invest in listed property (property companies listed and traded on the JSE). It takes away all the stress and effort associated with phy-
ownership. Owning shares in the JSE is equivalent to owning small pieces of many different companies. This provides investors with a significant amount of diversification to reduce a
The purpose and perspective of this month's newsletter is focused on property compared to shares as respective investments. The Comparison A UK study by finance group True Potential concluded that the annualised rate of return over a 30 year period for the UK housing market was 5.7% and 9.9% for UK equities over the same period. In the US a similar study over a 26 year period found an annualised return of 8.6% for the US housing market and 13.4% for US equities. The burning question on investor minds are however, how does this compare locally? After all, Namibia has its own unique property
cal Property There are numerous cost factors and potential downside risks associated with owning physical property that should be carefully considered when determining the real income yield on a property. Rates & taxes, routine maintenance, unforeseen maintenance, insurance, transfer duties and legal fees, mortgage & finance costs (including the risk of increasing interest rates) and agents' commissions. The most important and potentially detrimental factors include vacancies, legal fees (when tenants' lapse rent payments), high capital requirements and illiquidity. Listed Property as alternative
sical property. Listed property offers diversification between retail, office and industrial properties as well as geographical diversification both locally and offshore. Listed property has an income yield of 7% nett of all the potential downsides that physical property has. It is significantly less capital intensive and does not have the lack of liquidity that physical property presents. Share investments The average investor probably doesn't look at his or her stocks as a fraction of real, bona fide businesses that own assets, has facilities, employees and profits. The majority think of equities as more of a lottery ticket than
number of different risks. The majority of JSE earnings are derived from sources outside of South Africa, hence investors are afforded geographical diver sification and currency hedging (protection from a devaluing Rand). The only disadvantage with shares and listed property over physical property is unit price volatility, which means an investors' unit value can go up or down in the short term led by changes in local and global equity markets. Research have however shown that over a 5 year period, volatility risk is almost reduced to 0%. Conclusion Asking the question, “Which is a better investment – real estate or stocks?” is like
asking whether chocolate or vanilla is superior or if an Aston Martin is better than a Bentley. There really isn't an answer because a lot of it comes down to your p e r s o n a l i t y, p r e f e rences, and style. It also comes down to the specifics of the individual investment. Very few stocks would have beat buying beachfront property in Camps Bay in the 1970's using a lot of debt, and then cashing in twenty years later. Virtually no real estate could have beaten the returns you earned if you invested in shares of Capitec, Naspers or PSG. The Results Over the past 11 years the annualised returns for the respective asset classes were: 16.0% JSE shares, 14.5% JSE Listed Property, 13.2% Namibia Housing Index, 12.1% Offshore Shares, 7.0% Cash and 5.7% Inflation. Notes on the Results The comparison was done on a like for like basis and therefore: Only an 11 year period was used due to no older data being available on the Namibia Housing Index. Income distributions are excluded from all asset classes due to no data or factual research being available on the average yield on physical property (too many determining variables). The average income yields for the other asset classes over the period are 2.9% JSE Shares, 7.0% JSE listed property and 2.1% Offshore shares. Source: Bloomberg. In Namibia there exists the traditional belief that physical property is by far the best investment and in many cases the only investment. This month's newsletter completely disproves this popular misconception. The ultimate purpose for all investors is allocating their resources to the investments that offer the best, riskadjusted returns. Because hindsight is a perfect science and it's
impossible to predict the future most financial experts believe that when it comes to property or shares, the answer is an appropriate balance in both. Niël Swanepoel PSG Walvis Bay |

M+Z Jeep exchange and handover In 2014 M+Z Motors approached Save the Rhino Trust (SRT) to enquire the possibility of assisting SRT with a vehicle to aid SRT in their critical cause to protect the desert-adapted black rhino. Save the Rhino Trust felt the need for an administrative but flexible vehicle that will assist the Chief Executive and Administrative Office in fundraising as well as travelling to the field bases in Kunene. M&Z came up with sponsoring SRT with a fully branded, brand new Jeep Wrangler – Conservation Edition that was suitable for the requirements that SRT had. Keeping to their promise that the vehicle will be exchanged on a yearly basis, M+Z Motors handed over a 2016 year model Jeep Wrangler to Save the Rhino Trust at their Walvis Bay branch to the Chief Executive Officer, Simson Uri-Khob. M+Z Motors is the
first motor vehicle company to donate a vehicle to SRT for administrative duties as all other vehicles are sponsored for the main purpose to be utilised in the field patrolling and monitoring our precious rhino. Lorraine Tjazuko, the Fundraising and Administration Manager of Save the Rhino Trust said SRT would like to applaud M+Z Motors for identifying the need and taking a strong lead in their Corporate Social Responsibility Policy by assisting them to successfully execute their administrative duties which contributes hugely to the one goal they all have in common, which is protecting the Simson Uri-khob (SRT CEO) at M+Z Motors Walvis Bay with Louis Van critically endangered desert-adapted black Vuuren (Sales Executive) and Karen Mynhardt (Sales) at the hand over. rhino.

South African New Vehicle Sales drop to lowest in almost 5 years ¡ Chevrolet Spark surpasses 1 000 unit mark in tough trading conditions JOHANNESBURG -The overall industry was down 6.9 percent versus the same period last year, despite surprisingly high rental sales, of which accounted for one in four passenger vehicles sold. General Motors South Africa (GMSA) posted total sales of 3 437 units in January.
Website: www.namibtimes. net
A key highlight for GMSA last month was the locally produced Chevrolet Spark which sold 1 018 units. "The January sales results are a clear indication that consumers are under pressure due to the increase in interest rates general inflationary pressure and high levels of household debt. We expect the NAAMSA new vehicle industry to show a continued decline in volume throughout 2016. This is evidenced in the dealer channel volumes. January saw a drop of 16% in passenger sales and 12% drop in Light Commercial sales, representing the lowest dealer volume since April 2011. We had expected a weaker January in the dealer channel, but this was even lower than our conservative expectations," says Brian Olson, GMSA Vice President Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "As the year progresses we expect to see a stronger used vehicle market as the pressure mounts on South African consumers. In January we saw a drop in new vehicle applications of 19% versus December whereas used vehicle applications were up 4%," said Olson.

Know your status for Valentine’s day Love Responsibly: Know Your HIV Status this Valentine's Day Love is in the air this Valentine's Day — and what better reason is there to get tested and know your HIV status than for love? Nothing says “I love you” like knowing and sharing your status with your sweetheart. If you really want to impress your date this Valentine's Day, protect their health — and yours — by getting tested. Need a few more reasons to get tested this Valentine's Day? We have three! The very best gift you can give your sweetheart on Valentine's Day is peace of mind. Moving into serious relationship territory? Having a conversation about HIV — or even getting tested together — not only brings you closer, but also helps open the door for those big relationship talks. You can get tested for free! You'll still be able to spoil your sweetie with flowers, chocolates and all those other Valentine's Day goodies. **********************************************
Wees lief met Verantwoordelikheid:
Ken jou MIV-status Valentynsdag
The Junior Council during our free previous testing day
Liefde is in die lug hierdie Valenteinsdag, en watter beter rede is daar om getoets te word en te weet wat jou status is. Niks sê “Ek het jou Lief” beter as om jou status te kan deel met jou geliefde. As jy hom/haar regtig wil beïndruk , beskerm hom/haar gesondheid en joune deur getoets te word. Hier is nog 'n paar redes om getoets te word. Die beste geskenk om jou geliefde te gee is “Peace of mind” Indien jy beweeg na 'n ernstiger liefdesverhouding, of 'n gesprek het oor MIV, of selfs saam gaan toets bring jul nie net nader aan mekaar nie, maar open ook die deur vir groot verhoudingsgesprekke. Jy kan gratis getoets word en jy kan nog steeds jou geliefde bederf met sjokolade, blomme, lekkerruik goedjies of enige ander Valentynsidees.
Get tested before Valentine’s day On Saturday 13 February the namib times/pepfar campaign will again have a testing day in the Kusebmond area, near the Woerman Brock centre. Come and get tested for your own peace of mind and also to give your loved one the gift of “Knowing your status”. At this testing day you will also receive a T-Shirt after testing. Last year we had 32 participants and the good news was that all the test results were negative. At this day you can also meet the newly- elected Junior Council. We invite the community and especially the youth from different schools tot take part in this good cause.

The event was a huge success due to the precise preparation by the Local Organising Committee. All participants agreed that this, the biggest ever international competition in archery on the African Continent, was an unforgettable experience. Judging from participation and performance during all the previous continental championships, the standard and quality of archers competing has shown a tremendous improvement. The hosting of the championships in Namibia has put a much needed spotlight on archery as a sport and will hopefully create further interest in Namibia, thereby increasing participation of a greater diversity of Namibians in archery.
