Anti-Korrupsie

GETTING READY: With the 2014 academic year starting next week, the Ministry of Education has reiterated its commitment in ensuring that all children of school- going age will ultimately be admitted and find space in schools. The Minister of Education Dr David Namwandi has emphasised and vowed that no single learner will be left in the cold with regard to getting an education. Parents and guardians are hard at work doing back- to-school shopping and the Ministry of Education is doing its best to keep its promise.

He also requested parents to be watchful and to give their full cooperation when the school requires it from them. “Those who say we cannot do it should not hold those who are able to do it and who are doing it back” he said. He labelled the proper education of children as the artery of a nation and said that any country without education is a doomed one and called on parents to ensure that their children arrive at school in a tidy manner. !Nara Primary School in Kuisebmond registered 260 first year learners (Grade One's) for the 2 1 0 4 s c h o o l y e a r.

Approximately 35 learners per class will be accommodated in seven classrooms. According to Mr Buddy Visagie, the Head of Department at the school, five newly constructed classrooms by the Japanese government will be completed and ready for use by the end of February. The Namibian government will add another three classrooms in 2014. “The community and the school are extremely grateful for the assistance we received from the Japanese Embassy. This will solve our space related problems and bring to an end the afternoon schooling sessions. We have also filled all available teaching

posts and received our writing material and books at the end of November 2013 from Government. Thus we are ready and are looking forward to concentrate and render quality education for our learners” said Visagie. He labelled the fact that children no longer had to pay school fees as a huge plus. “We do not have to bother parents anymore for money with the Government supplying what is needed,” stated Visagie who called on parents to assist their children, the school and the ministry to ensure a proper education for all learners. In conclusion he challenged fish quota right holders to come to the fore and assists schools with various needs.

Namib Primary School acting Principal, Mrs Vries said the Swakopmund based school had registered 65 grade one's and 25 pre-primary school learners. “We took in our capacity and made provision to accommodate extra grade ones.

We will accommodate approximately thirty two grade one learners in a class. We received our stationary and books and addressed the situation pertaining to a lack of teachers and the need for new classrooms in December before the school closed. Vries called on parents to work very hard and hand in hand with the teachers to educate the little ones.

M r G e r t Va n d e r Merwe from the municipal water department said that it can be considered a serious offense if the water is obtained without consent. “Residents must apply for a water meter and pay N$5, 00 per 1000 litres in order to use the water for gardening purposes.

However, there are a lot of cases where individuals make use of this water without our consent. If this is the case, the matter should be reported and investigated. If these individuals made themselves guilty, they should be charged and will have to appear in court, seeing that they have committed theft.”

Mr Andre Burger, also from the water department said that there exist agreements with individuals who are allowed to use purified sewerage water. “Some individuals have approval to use the water for private use and it is expected from them to take care of the grass on pavement areas in front of their houses in return. We are in the process of determining who has and who has not received permission. However, I am

not certain whether the area you mentioned has an agreement with the municipality. We have had similar cases in the past. We reprimanded the guilty parties and they stopped. However this is an on going problem in Walvis Bay. We will surely investigate the matter and if these individuals are illegally using the water, they will be charged.”

Commissioner //Hoëbeb from Nampol commented that taking water from the municipality without permission and payment results in theft. “If the municipality provide us with proof and opens a case against these individuals they could be found liable and held accountable for such a crime.”

Mr Andre Brummer from the municipality said “there are five houses in the area mentioned here that do have our consent, seeing that they agreed to care for the grass in front of their houses.

There is another area where three house owners also have our consent. I cannot say that the alleged stolen water is obtained illegally, but the matter will be investigated.”

Alreeds 7 plakkershutte afgebrand in Nuwe Jaar Marshallino Beukes

Die Nuwe jaar het vir 7 gesinne in die Mondesa woonbuurt van Swakopmund op 'n lae noot afgeskop, nadat hul plakkershutte met al hul aardse besittings, tot as verbrand is.

Die eerste brand vir die jaar het op 2 Januarie, omstreeks 19:30 in Comradestraat plaasgevind en vier plakkershutte is verwoes in 'n vlammesee.

Die oorsaak van hierdie brand is onbekend.

In die tweede geval, waartydens drie hutte tot as verbrand is, was die oorsaak nalatigheid, nadat daar vergeet is om 'n stoof af te skakel. Hierdie voorval het ook op 2 Januarie in Reguitstraat plaasgevind en drie wonings is verbrand. Plakkershutbrande is een van die grootste kopsere vir die plaaslike brandweer en in baie

gevalle is menselewens ook al geëis.

Brandweerhoof, Adri Goosen noem dat nalatigheid deur plakkershut bewoners een van die hoof-sondebokke is en hy maan weereens die publiek om versigtigheid aan die dag te lê.

Goosen noem ook dat hulle tans besig is om 'n projek te loods, wat behels die opvoeding van leeringe by skole, ten opsigte van brand-veiligheidsmaatreëls by die huis. Hierdie is beslis 'n stap in die regte rigting en kan net tot voordeel van die breë gemeenskap strek.

Behind the Education Directorate

The fence around the school yard is dilapidated

Thousands of learners are preparing to head back to school next week, but many parents who believe that they are choosing the best school for their children are in for a rude awakening.

The condition of primary and secondary schools in the Erongo region has become an issue of major concern for parents and learners. Disheartened parents of children at primary school told this newspaper that they are worried about sending their small children to places where the toilets are filthy and the buildings are in a state of disrepair. It is a matter of common currency that the condition of classrooms and school facilities are cause for serious concern and the Namib Times set out to investigate the situation, starting with the renowned Swakopmund Secondary School (SSS), located closest to the Directorate of Education, which is responsible for the upkeep of schools in the region.

These pictures show that the SSS has deteriorated to the extent that the buildings look dilapidated. There are bushes, thorn trees and reeds growing wildly around the back of the school and there is an awful stench that lingers on the north-eastern side, which is disgusting even to people passing by.

Sewerage water is pushing up from below the ground in some part and from one building in particular – on the north-east corner – the wastewater runs freely on the ground near the back entrance to the school year. The sorry sight of broken windows at the hostel and the school is complimented only by heaps of rubbish and plastic bags lying scattered around the premises. In some places the paint is peeling off the buildings and the concrete wall around the school is also smashed in parts, giving a decidedly bad impression to visitors.

The trees surrounding the SSS, including the old palm trees, are

literally dying and clinging on for dear life; their dried leaves appear to be in a state of severe neglect and there is no sign that these trees are regularly watered. This state of affairs is in sharp contrast to the Anglican church behind the school, where the palm trees still grow luscious and green. All traces of the green lawns that once beautified the school and provided some comfort to the learners during their breaks have now disappeared and have steadily been replaced by a dusty and rocky plain in the schoolyard. The deterioration of the gardens strongly resembles a process of desertification. Across the road from the school the lawns in the residential area are still green and vivid to the eye, creating a stark contrast with the state of the schoolyard.

Answers could not be obtained from the regional directorate of education yesterday as the director was in meetings for most of the day in preparation for a placement meeting for Grade 11 learners that takes place on Friday at the Teachers' Resource Centre. The deputy director could also not be reached as he is currently on leave. Nobody was available yesterday to provide answers about the state of the school.

In a series of forthcoming articles, the Namib Times will take an in-depth look at the state of primary and secondary schools in the region with a view to improving the quality of the learning environment. If you would like to contribute, please forward pictures of your school and letters to newsdesk@namibtimes.net or post your pictures on our social page at www.facebook/ namibtimes.

Do you have what it takes?

Madelaine Laubscher

A program announced by United States President Barack Obama known as YALI (Young African Leaders Initiative) is calling on young Namibian leaders to apply for the exchange program which will enable 15 Namibians to join more than 500 young African leaders for a visit to the United States in mid 2014.

The United States (U.S) Embassy extended an invitation to young African leaders to apply for a 2014 exchange program known as the Washington Fellowship of the President's Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI).

U.S. President Barack Obama announced the program in June 2013 saying, “We need young Africans who are standing up and making things happen not only in their own countries, but around the world. Africa's future belongs to its young people.”

To assist interested youth leaders with their applications, the American Cultural Center in Namibia will host two open house days on 22 January

from 9:00 to 15:00.

Applicants should bring a photo identity card or a passport. This exchange program will enable 15 Namibians to join more than 500 young African leaders to visit the United States in mid 2014 as part of a fellowship.

This includes a prestigious six-week summer leadership institute at a U.S. College or university campus with three thematic tracks.

These are business and entrepreneurship, civic leadership and public administration, a presidential summit for all participants in Washing-on DC, internships in the United States for approximately 100 of the 500 participants which are awarded on a competitive basis, follow-

ing the six-week leadership institute and follow-on activities for all participants on the continent after they return home, to engage with additional African youth as well as networking opportunities, internships, small grants and other activities to assist the young leaders to further their careers and maintain strong ties with the United States.

The initiative directly supports Namibia's Vision 2030 by encouraging leadership and development to propel economic growth and prosperity, and strengthen democratic institutions. U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Officer, Ms Priscilla Hernandez, said that “The Washington Fellow-

ship is an initiative born of past successful exchanges in which young Africans (Namibians included), travelled to the United States, shared their viewpoints with President Obama, and created a network with other African leaders that enabled them to return to their countries and launch community service initiatives.”

Patrick Sam from Namibia participated in the 2010 President's F o r u m f o r Yo u n g African Leaders in Wa s h i n g t o n D C .

Since his return from the program, Patrick seized the opportunity to complete his Master's degree in International Education Systems on a U.S. Fulbright Scholarship at prestigious Columbia University.

Michael Mulunga participated in 2010 as well and had this advice for young Namibian leaders, “It

is a great experience to go to the U.S. and to meet other young African leaders like yourself with which you share a common vision of developing your communities.

The YALI program is a great platform to have the opportunity to meet the U.S. president and to participate in the different programs offered.”

Vida de Voss, Director of Sister Namibia, who participated in a 2009 U.S. educational exchange, identified characteristics of the ideal Namibian youth leader to participate in a U.S. exchange: “[Someone who] takes initiative, follows through on projects, people I can see operating on their own, do great things, what you want in a leader. Somebody who can give feedback and take initiative and make things happen.”

The selection criteria f o r Wa s h i n g t o n

F e l l o w s h i p YA L I applicants include the following: You must be a citizen of and reside in a subSaharan African country. (Persons holding U.S. citizenship or U.S. permanent residency are not eligible.) You must speak, read, and write proficiently in English. You must be between 25-35 years of age at the time of application submission, although exceptional candidates younger than 25 will be considered. You must have a proven record of leadership and accomplishment in public service, business or entrepreneurship, or civic engagement. You must demonstrate a commitment to public

or community service, volunteerism, or mentorship. You must be committed to return to Africa and contribute their skills and talents to build and serve their communities.

Prospective applicants should visit http://youngafricanleaders.s tate.gov for more information and to receive periodic updates via e-mail.

Alternatively, applicants are invited to call 229 801 or email IRCWindhoek@state. gov.

The deadline to apply is January 27, 2014 and applications, which include an e s s a y, m u s t b e submitted online at http://youngafricanlea ders.state.gov.

Addictions rob society of its human potential It's a known fact that addicts opt to satisfy their addiction at the expense of who and whatever, whenever their crave needs to be satisfied.

In the long run addicts end up without jobs and break into homes and commit crimes in order to sustain their habits. A drug dealer recently pointed out that customers come to him and that there is no need for him to go to them. “I run a self help business and simply help them to help themselves” he said.

Societies really do not need these destructive types of chain stores.

Drug dealers are slapped with hefty fines, they serve prison terms and their assets are confiscated. This does not seem to deter the new breed of young unemployed school leavers who find “the get rich quick scheme by selling drugs” enticing and are hell bent on living the fast life at the expense and destruction of their own communities.

I remember in days gone by that dealers used to deal on street corners and lived in fear of a certain Jan “Oubaas” Kruger and his very visible “anti drug” squad. Whenever “the Oubaas” was in the area or word of him being on his way, reached the merchants ears their supplies would immediately dry up. They would disappear and simply cease to exist until they were sure that he had left the neighbourhood!

“The Oubaas” would unexpectedly and occasionally rock up in his government white VW Golf. He used to drive a yellow Skyline before the Golf. His charges (Brakkenjan, Boerseun and Nommer 3) would disembark with lightning speed and frisked suspected dealers in public while he remained seated and observed the proceedings from the vehicle. After his charges were done and found nothing incriminating, “the Oubaas” would get out of the vehicle and walked straight to what appeared to be a discarded “empty beef or fish tin”. He would pick it up, remove its contents “pokes containing cannabis” and issue a stern warning before leaving.

Kruger caught and ensured that many were charged for illegal possession and dealing in drugs.

Because of “the Ou-

baas” many acquired criminal records, paid fines and eventually served prison terms (from 3 months to more than 10 years).

We despised “the Oubaas” and his gang of assistants back then because they represented the oppressive system and according to us they robbed those who smuggled cannabis (sold at N$5 a poke in the 80's) and mandrax tablets (obtainable at N$ 25 in the 80's) back then from earning an earnest income and putting bread on the tables of their families.

I notice that the scene and “the game” have changed! Drug merchants no longer deal on street corners and they no longer deal with cannabis and mandrax only. I've heard that the prices of cannabis and mandrax have increased considerably and in line with inflation. Today's dealers do so from behind high walls, burglar gates and run delivery services for their affluent clients.

The preferred drug of choice these days appears to be the highly addictive and very expensive cocaine and crack (between N$ 60 to N$ 100 for a piece).

We are quick to blame drug dealers for providing drugs and destroying our society.

It is however the children of addicts that suffers the most from their parent's addictions. Because of their parents addictions children go hungry, are constantly exposed to abuse, violence and are being denied a chance of enjoying a normal childhood. I have some fishermen friends who spend long spells (from a week to 3 months) away from home and live their entire lives working very hard to earn an honest salary by catching fish. They spend their hard earned sweat in a few hours and it ends up in the pockets of drug merchants instead of the empty stomachs of their children who are vulnerable and are being robbed of opportunities at the expense of their parent's destructive habits. Don't get me wrong. Drugs do not discriminate! It reaches over colour barriers and destroy across all social boundaries. Otis Finck

Argument leads to culpable homicide · Marshallino Beukes and Mavourlene Gaes A Swakopmund resident, Stanley Katiyatako (32), died on Sunday at the Windhoek State Hospital, after he was hit by a car in the town's DRC informal settlement, following an argument between him and Donald John Izaaks (43), around 03:00 last Saturday morning.

According to the police spokesperson, inspector Erastus Iikwuyu, the deceased and the accused got into an argument, which later got out of hand.

Katiyatako is alleged to have picked up a stone and threw it in the suspects' direction and by doing so, hitting Izaak's vehicle.

Katiyatako supposedly tried to flee the scene after throwing the stone. The suspect allegedly reacted by

getting into his car, charging after the deceased and bum-ped him with the vehicle.

Stanley sustained serious head injuries and some of his ribs were also broken.

He was rushed to the Windhoek State Hospital on Saturday, where he died on Sunday due to the seriousness of the injuries he sustained.

The Namib Times was confidentially informed that the house of the

accused’s brother, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was burnt down earlier this week, supposedly as an act of vengeance.

A case of culpable homicide has been opened against Izaaks.

He appeared in the Swakopmund Magistrates court on Monday and was denied bail.

The case has been postponed until 10 February to allow the police to conduct a full investigation.

Beware! Burglars on the prowl Detective Sgt Johan Henry Geiseb has issued a warning to residents of Narraville to be extra cautious and to be on the lookout for suspicious individuals as the number of burglaries has increased sharply over the past few days with more than two incidents which occurred recently.

“It appears as if a housebreaking and theft syndicate which operates from Kuisebmond is targeting Narraville. The thiefs hit their targets between 2:00 and 4:00 in the mornings” he said. According to Geiseb the syndicate focus on stealing flat screen television sets, laptops and cellphones. “Please be cautious and ensure that all your windows are locked before going to sleep”.

He also advised residents to always leave somebody at home to look after property and called on community members to join the local neighbourhood watch to combat the scourge of break-ins and crime being experienced in the community. He also requested that community members contact the Narraville Station Commander on 219071 with any relevant information.

Unemployment still thorn in the flesh Mavourlene Gaes

The high unemployment rate in the country is still a m a t t e r o f g re a t concern and as a result many Namibians, without being given a choice, have to pack up their possessions and move to a different town, city or even another country.

These people have to

leave behind their loved ones in the hope of creating a better future for them.

Zack Khunene (27), Teodor Shipopyeni (29) and Michael Josef (26) to name a few, are all from the Northern part of Namibia, who came to the coastal town of Swakopmund in search of improved living conditions, but instead they were left feeling disappointed and helpless, forced to

adapt to different circumstances than what they had in mind.

These men have been left with no other alternative but to stand on the side of the road and look for employment, with the trust that someone will come to their rescue and offer them a job.

Some days if they are lucky, a passerby will pick them up for work and with the little they will receive on that

day, these men are able to make ends meet.

Like the manual workers they wake up early every morning and make their way over to the railway line, close to Fruit & Veg, sitting there in the sun with barely enough to eat or drink.

One of the men, Teodor Shipopyeni, might not have made it past grade 10, but his dream of becoming a professional or rather

famous disk jockey still burns alive in his heart.

This eldest brother of 15 says it hasn't been easy, being the oldest, because it adds to the pressure of not only having to be an example to his brothers and sisters but also having so many depending on him for monetary aid.

Especially now that his younger siblings are due to be back at

school next week. “It's tough, really. I don't want to complain, but I am suffering. I come here every morning and sit by the road, trusting maybe someone will feel pity and give me any job,� he exclaimed. However regarding his dream, Teodor says he is confident God will hear his prayers and send a Good Samaritan, just like in the bible to assist him in getting

out of these money troubles he is in and allow him to provide a better future for his siblings. Shipopyeni implores with the general public to assist him in fulfilling his dream. He says he is willing to work hard if that's what it will take to make it to the top and who knows, with a little push in the right direction, he just might surprise the world.

Years Ago - MARINE ENQUIRY IN WALVIS BAY SKIPPER SUSPENDED January 10, 1969 page 1 A Court of Marine Enquiry into the stranding of the white fish trawler Henrieta Spashett took place in Walvis Bay this week, and the findings of the court are that the stranding was caused by the wrongful acts of the skipper Willem Christoffel Gillion.

The Port of Lüderitz The Port of Lüderitz was used mainly by the fishing industry, but has seen increasing activity from the mining sector since 2004.

The main strategic focus for this Port is to cater to the needs of the fishing industry, the offshore diamond industries, offshore oil exploration, and the mining sector, together with its supporting industries and services. The Skorpion Zinc Mine has impacted on the business of the Port over recent years, causing mining exports to surpass those of fishing. This Port has also become

increasingly important for the agricultural sector, with the potential of grapes being exported from Aussenkehr in southern Namibia and the Northern Cape Province in South Africa.

This export and import potential in SADC is supported by the TransO r a n j e C o r r i d o r, which, by way of a road-and-rail network, links the Port of Lüderitz with the rest of Namibia as well as with

the Northern Cape Province in South Africa. The Port's strategic location makes it an important base for the fishing, mining, and offshore diamond mining industries. The Port is also an essential shore base for oil and gas drilling operations off the southern coast.

Excellent logistical services and links to other towns in Namibia and South Africa are offered. The Port

develops its infrastructure to suit its clients' needs. A 500-m quay provides cargo handling and container facilities for imports and exports, while a mobile harbour crane can handle containers and break-bulk cargo of up to 64 tonnes. Two additional 25-tonne Grove mobile cranes deal with smaller volumes of break-bulk cargo at the 500-m quay.

His certificate of competency as mate is suspended for two years. This finding was based on the following reasons.

The skipper was at fault as he failed to comply with the act regarding the necessity of having a qualified mate on board. The mate on the vessel at the time of the stranding is a cook. He failed to ascertain the position accurately before departing on his homeward voyage. He failed to fix position or attempt to do so at any time between commencing his homeward voyage and the time of the stranding. He failed to provide a look-out despite foggy weather conditions. The only look-out provided was a very inexperienced Ovambo. Failed to reduce speed in foggy weather. Failed to keep proper watch as to the safety of the vessel. Deliberately steered a course towards danger without taking proper precautions. The enquiry was presided over by Mr. B. L. Bestbier with Capt. W. Willis and Capt. I. Simpson as members.

The Henrietta Spashet stranded on the 4th of July about two miles north of Palgrave Point, over 200 miles north of Walvis Bay. There was no loss of life.

TWEE VISSERMANNE BESEER - BEIDE NA WALVIS Friday, January 10, 1969 page 2 Twee visserbote moes inderhaas Woensdag die visvelde verlaat en na Walvisbaai toe jaag nadat vissermanne beserings opgedoen het.

Op die Jannie T., 'n pelser boot van die Suiderkruis het mnr. Fanie van Rooyen van Walvisbaai sy been gebreek, en is vanaf die Kuiseb jetty reguit na die Walvisbaaise Staatshospitaal geneem vir behandeling. Na wat verneem word was die net van die Jannie T vol vis en was hulle besig om die net in te trek, toe mnr. Van Rooyen se voet in die net vasgehaak het. Die been is net bokant die enkel gebreek. Die witvis treiler Vigo het ook die visvelde verlaat om een van die bemanning na Walvisbaai te bring vir mediese behandeling nadat hy ook sy been gebreek het. Dit is ontrusstellend om te merk dat in beide gevalle persone wat 'n ambulans na die hawe toe moes ontbied, ten minste vier telefoonnommers geskakel het, voordat hul by die Ambulansdiens uitgekom het. In die geval van die Spaanse beseerde, het die ambulans nie opgedaag nie en is die beseerde in 'n gewone voertuig na die hospitaal vervoer.

MS Hamburg in Port The MS Hamburg called at the Port of Walvis Bay this week. The MS Hamburg is a 15,000-ton ship, 420 passenger, luxury cruise ship owned by the Conti Group and is now operated by Plantours Kreuzfahrten.

She was built in 1997, in Wismar, Germany. The ship has a Tonnage of 15,067 GT, 5,092 NT and 1,378 DWT. It has a Length of 144.13 m (472 ft 10 in, Beam of 21.50 m (70 ft 6 in) and a Draft of 5.15 m (16 ft 11 in). Her relative size allows her to transit the Great Lakes in North America, which she cruised seasonally between 1997 and 2011 - one of the few modern cruise ships and the only German one able to do so .

However, she is flexible enough to cruise worldwide as well, for example travelling the Mediterranean for cultural cruises with

Martin Randall Travel.

The MS Hamburg has six decks. Each deck has a specific colour theme. Deck 1U hospital. Deck 1 (light blue). Deck 2 (green).

Deck 3 (dark blue) reception, lobby, dining room. Deck 4 (red) - bar, concert hall. Deck 5 (yellow) - lounge, library, shops. Sun Deck - Palm garden, swimming pool, café, fitness room. Her crew complement consists of 170, and her top speed is 16 knots. She is equipped with four Wärtsilä 6L32 (4 × 2,640 kW) engines and is propelled by two controllable pitch propellers.

She was previously known as the Columbus for Hapag-Lloyd, she was since replaced by the Columbus 2.

The MS Hamburg was built by MathiasThiesen Werft (MTW) at Wismar, Germany, in 1997 as the Columbus, a ship whose design originated from a desire

by Hapag-Lloyd to reintroduce cruising into the Great Lakes of North America. Indeed in her fifteen-year career with HapagLloyd, the Columbus completed eleven seasons in the Great Lakes. She also undertook a world cruise every winter.

After Hapag-Lloyd

acquired a larger ship to replace the Columbus Bremen-based Plantours took her over, renaming her MS Hamburg at a ceremony in the old Hanseatic port of Hamburg in June 2012.

Port of registry: Nassau, Bahamas. Builder: M T W S c h i ff s w e r f t GmbH, Wismar, Germany. Yard number: 451. Laid down: 5 September 1995.

Launched: 30 October 1996. Completed: 17 June 1997. In service: 1997–. Identification: IMO number: 9138329.

Call sign: C6OX6.

MMSI number: 309908000.

Their studies are devoted to the chemical composition of the sediment at the bottom of the sea and plankton. “The plankton in this portion of the Atlantic is particularly rich, “Dr. Brongersma-Sanders, who is of the fairer sex, said enthusiastically. Their research, which is conducted from the research vessel Benguella, will continue until the end of January. Dr. Brongersma-Sanders is from Leydon University and Dr. Eisma from the Institute for Sea Research at Den Helder. Their expedition here is on behalf of the Netherlands Organisation of pure Scientific Research.

SEA TURTLES: Both members of the team are particularly anxious to obtain photographs or any trails about sea turtles being spotted along this coast. If any information in this connection, they should contact the Namib Times.

THEORY: A member of the team put forward the striking theory that we have such abundant bird life (the birds eat vast quantities of fish) along this stretch of coast because we make them so comfortable by providing bird

The Victim I really hate to put this picture on facebook, but I hope that finally something is being done.

This cat was killed recently by the two dogs in Kiebitz Street 8. There are eye witnesses, so there is no doubt it was them. I have sent many e-mails to the municipality but they don't do anything. I ask all of you to please assist in getting these dogs locked up. I suggest that all of you send an e-mail to Clive Lawrence (General Manager | Health Services): Clawrence@swkmun.com.na. The animal control officer falls under his department. Clive cannot claim that he did not know about this - I still have all communication sent to him during the past few months. If anyone has ideas on how to address this matter and resolve it, please let me know. Last year these two dogs killed more than ten cats.

My sympathy to the owners of this beautiful cat.

I am sure by now you have heard about the two dogs residing at Kiebitzstreet Nr. 8, that freely roam the streets and have been seen how they chase and kill cats. Although the dogs are mostly inside the property during the day, they easily jump over the gate (I see that a few times a week) and are seen roaming the streets on a regular basis at night. They do not only roam the streets, but happily jump over walls into other properties. I attach two letters that I have sent to the Municipality about the dog in Kiebitzstreet Nr.8 in 2010. By now there are two of them. I know of more letters that have been sent to the Municipality on this matter in July 2012. I myself have phoned the animal control officer many times in 2010, but it looks like all our complaints have fallen on deaf ears.

This year these two dogs have started killing cats – and more than twelve cats have been killed in the Vineta area during the past few months.

I have seen myself, how these two dogs chase cats at night – several blocks away from their home. I know that the owner of the dogs Mr Nehemia Salomon, is a town councillor, but to my understanding, he also has to adhere to Municipal laws and keep his dogs under control at all times. I urge you to please address this issue as a matter of urgency as Vineta residents have to live in constant fear of their cats at the moment – even if the cats stay inside the property as the dogs happily jump over walls.

Dear Mr Lawrence, The two dogs from Kiebitzstreet 8 killed another cat last night. The neighbours saw it and can confirm that it was those two dogs. On the attached photo you can clearly see

the marks where the dogs easily jump over the wall.

I have sent so many e-mails asking to keep the dogs under control but to no avail. Is anything being done about this!!!!!

This morning I saw both dogs of Kiebitzstr. 8 on the streets again. When I approached them both of them easily jumped over the wall back into the yard. With the holiday season and lots of visitors it is even more important that dogs (especially those that have attacked kids before) are kept under control. I hope this matter is addressed (once again).

Has any action been taken regarding the roaming dogs in Vineta or is this matter, once again, brushed under the carpet? I would appreciate if I could get feedback on this matter. Again this weekend the dogs from Kiebitzstreet No 8 were roaming the streets, with no one close by to keep them under control. Is anything being done about this?

I am happy to see that some action has been taken – thank you. Spikes were put up on the gate – the dogs, however, now jump over the wall next to the gate – I saw the one dog easily jump over the wall this morning. So unfortunately the problem is not solved as the dogs can still get out. Please ensure that the entire erf is secured so that the dogs cannot jump over the wall and terrorise the Vineta residents and their cats anymore.

I see more efforts has been made to keep the dogs from Kiebitzstreet 8 inside the property, however, they still easily jump out and I have seen both of them in the streets again this morning, jumping back over the wall when I approached. These dogs have been living on the streets for many years and are extremely streetwise by now (in fact, the black one basically grew up on the streets, not being cared for by the owners).

As all our previous complaints about the dogs and their situation fell on deaf ears, the situation now will take a bit of effort to rectify. I really hope this matter is taken seriously and a permanent solution is found – there is no quick fix for a problem that built up over years and was ignored by the authorities for far too long.

Global Economics Review for 2012/3 and Forecasting 2014

FNB appoints Mulondo

We saw some major changes in 2013, what happened and what does this mean for 2014?

The 2012 Year: The global economy continued to recover. The Chinese economy slowed but stayed above a robust 7.5% growth, though they had to rebalance from trade to domestic demand. This hurt commodity prices and many Emerging Markets. The USA had a horrible 2012 as it mismanaged its budget and debt position, though its economy grew in spite of the party politics. South Africa muddled on, beset by Government service delivery issues, political shenanigans and labour unrests.

Financial markets discounted the negative news, looked forward to the future and enjoyed the low interest rate and low inflation environment. The year turned out to be great for our investment clients, who received between 10% and 23% on a gross basis using one of our portfolios. The global economic recovery and bull market since 2008/9 thus continued …

The graph below by Seed Investments shows a share market cycle from trough to peak. In November 2012 we informed our investment clients we were at the sceptical stage (my arrow). Both share valuations and investment sentiment still had to rise substantially before we would enter the next, optimistic stage of the current bull market. We thus recommended investors to stay in balanced portfolios with overweight positions in growth assets.

Wall Street Daily: Last year thus turned out to be one of unrealised risks: The USA did not go to war with Syria; the Fed started tapering only in December after the market priced in the news; and the USA political budget and debt ceiling decisions were pushed out into 2014. And the people and markets of South Africa took the news of Nelson

FNB welcomed Erica Mulondo to its team recently. Erica has been appointed as the Group Manager: Customer Service.

Mulondo said that she was eecstatic and grateful for the opportunity to be of service to others. “FNB Namibia is a strong brand that celebrates efficient and innovative products with a reputation for providing exceptional service excellence that creates memorable customer experiences. My purpose in life is to inspire others to find their 'voice' and live life a little bit better every day. I look forward to an exciting journey with the vibrant and passionate FNB team” she said. Erica has been in the banking industry since 1997 having worked at Nedbank and Standard bank respectively. She is an MDP graduate with several professional accreditations behind her name.

The 2013 Year: The USA Federal Reserve Bank (the Fed) shocked investments in May by announcing it would start “tapering”, or exiting its bondbuying program, conditional on a recovery in the USA economy.

This caused USA 10-year Treasury yields to spike massively, thereby punishing global and local bond and real estate prices.

With global inflation very subdued, gold demand shrivelled and the gold price dropped by 30% in dollar terms while the

Mandela's death with sorrowful calmness.

In a tough year for safety assets local bonds struggled to make a positive return and local cash rates declined towards 5% per annum. Without some exposure to shares you would have lost out big time, again underlying the importance of being in a welldiversified balanced portfolio. It also helped our international exposure that the Rand fell significantly, due to the large SA budget and trade deficits. Growth

USA general share index rose by about the same margin. South African shares also did well, returning 20% for the year.

Although a strong USA share market usually means a weak US dollar, this correlation broke down in 2013 as the stronger greenback chooses to follow rising Government bond yields.

Correlations among all asset classes were halved in 2013, which is good news for investors as it increased the diversification properties of your portfolio.

The Great Rotation happened at last, as investors rotated from safety to growth assets by selling bonds to buy shares (stocks). This was the third big chance for 2013, as shown in the graph from the

assets supported our portfolios, and our investors enjoyed gross returns of between 8% (Conservative), 13% (Cautious), 19% (Moderate) and 22% (Assertive).

The 2014 Year?

Our view is that the global share market cycle is now entering the optimistic stage. While there will always be surprises, one can probably expect much of the same as 2013, though the global economy should pick up while share prices increase at a slower rate with higher volatility. We may experience the long awaited temporary share market correction, which could be a buying opportunity for new investors or new capital:

· With global inflation dead for now due to changing demographics, improved technology and global competition, the gold price will continue to suffer; · The Fed (and other Central Banks) will keep short-term interest rates stable and low but long-term Government bond yields will rise (their prices will fall); · This should put pressure on listed property shares; · The USA dollar should strengthen in tandem with rising Government bond yields, which would put pressure on the SA Rand; · Share prices should rise at a slower rate, supported by Central Bank interventions and rising investor sentiment but dependent on growth in company earnings; · Expect increased volatilities due to heightened policy uncertainties, such as the American mid-term elections, geopolitical tensions and the general elections in South Africa.

We thus repeat our recommendation, that investors should stay in balanced portfolios specifically chosen to meet their individual investment needs, with overweight positions in local and international growth assets. Although it should be possible to comfortably beat cash returns, please do not expect the amazing performances we have had since 2008/9, as markets and portfolios will eventually have to revert back to their expected long-term trends.

SME Bank established The Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Bank introduced banking services for individual clients. The bank is in the process of installing Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs). At the moment, it has only four in Windhoek.

The SME Bank was established with the mandate of providing financial support to SMEs - which usually find it difficult to secure funding from financial institutions because of a lack of security. Plans are underway to establish branches in other towns, with Ongwediva, Swakopmund and Rundu as priorities in this regard. According to the bank;s Head of Marketing and Communications, Ingrid Shimuafeni the aim of the establishment is to make banking services affordable for the people. The SME Bank is operating in similar fashion as other commercial bank, with most types of accounts, except for hire purchases and housing loans.

It is different from other commercial banks in that it does not charge a fee for money deposited into a client's account. Shimuafeni called on the public to make use of the bank, which is a public and private partnership between the Namibian government and Zimbabwean private investors.

The Namibian Government holds 65 per cent of the shares.

Kennis oor visse se gewoontes kan van jou ‘n beter hengelaar maak

H

engel aan die Namibiese kus vanaf Sandvis hawe tot en met die Ugab mond kan vir elke hengelaar 'n groot plesier wees indien jy enkele geskrewe en ongeskrewe reëls volg: Gehoorsaam die reëls aangaande die hengel soos voorgeskryf deur die Ministerie van Seevisserye en Marine hulpbronne.

Sorg dat jy te alle tye in besit van 'n geldige hengellisensie is, dit kan baie onaagenaamheid langs die kus vermy.

Maak seker dat as jy die hoofpad verlaat en afdraai na die kus dat jy 'n spoor of paadjie van ander voertuie volg en nie blindelings oor alles ry nie.

Ek weet nie hoekom ons altyd plek het om koeldrank, bier of aas saam te ry na die hengelwater nie, maar as ons terugkom het ons geen plek vir die leë houers nie. As jy tussen die hoogwater en laagwater merk ry, doen dit met inagneming van die hengelaars en mense wat ontspan langs die water.

Dis nou genoeg gekla en voorgeskryf, kom ons kyk so 'n bietjie na die verskillende spesies vis wat hier by ons voorkom en die tipe aas wat ons kan gebruik om hulle te kul om ons hoeke te neem.

KOPERHAAI

Die mees gesogte sportvis om te vang aan die Namibiese kus, en hengelaars vanoor die hele wêreld kom na ons viswaters om hierdie knewel te probeer verower. Natuurlik geweldig sterk, en met tot 200kg plus aan die anderkant van jou lyn is dit 'n werklike toutrekkery en die fiksste en flinkste wen gewoonlik. Anders as wat die meeste mense glo word 'n bronshaai met doodgewone gerei vanaf die kant gevang en word slegs 'n stewige staalstrop met 9/0 tot 10/0 hoeke gebruik. 'n Makrielkop of self die kop van 'n galjoen of kabeljou is dodelike aas vir hierdie vleisvreter. Alhoewel die amptelike Namibiese rekord slegs op 172kg staan is daar al 'n paar knewels van oor die 200kg geland, met 'n bielie van 240kg wat op Langstand gevang is en dit nogal deur twee oorsese vroue hengelaars. Kom geredelik aan ons kus voor en is baie gewild by Langstrand, Myl 8, Myl 17, Myl 28, Popeye, Myl 68, Myl 100 en Winston. Staan ook bekend as “die arm man se marlyn” omdat dit net soveel aksie verskaf as 'n marlyn, maar heelwat goedkoper is om te vang.

Hierdie haai kan vir jou tot 4 ure en langer besig hou, dus sê ek net stywe lyne.

GALJOEN

Dit is natuurlik die mees gesogste vis aan ons kus aangesien dit heerlik braai op die kole en ook gerook smaak dit vorentoe. Die vis kom voor waar daar heelwat bamboes of rotse is. Galjoen se geliefkoosde aas is swart en witmossel asook 'n stukkie rooiaas. Ons hoekgroote wissel hier vanaf 'n 2 tot 1/0 hoek. 'n Knewel van 3,5kg staan aangeteken in die Namibiese rekord anale.

Ons kry ook die sand galjoene wat by Langstrand en Sandvis voorkom.

GESPIKKELDE SLOEPHAAI

'n Lekker bakleier wat vir sy grote jou die geveg van gevegte gee.

Word aangekeer met 'n harderkop of selfs 'n stuk barber en gebruik ons 6/0 tot 7/0 hoeke met 'n stewige nylon strop van so 70kg aangesien die haai geen tande het nie.

Soos sy naam aandui kom die haai graag tussen rotse by sloepe voor en is dus een wat die rotse gebruik om te skuil as jy hom gehaak het. Die Namibiese rekord is dan 'n allemintige 37kg, maar sloephaaie vanaf so 10 tot 25 kg is algemeen en word dan oral langs die kus gevang waar rotse voorkom. Hierdie haai is ook 'n fynproewer en is versot op 'n stuk kreef of tjokka (kalamari).

KOEIHAAI

KOLSTERT Hierdie is 'n baie onderskatte vis en kan vir groot hengelvermaak sorg en is selfs 'n lekker eetvis om te bak of braai.

Kom oral langs die hele Namibiese kus voor en is die Namibiese rekord 'n allemintige 2,45kg. Hierdie vis het ook 'n klein bekkie en gebruik ons 'n 2 of 1 hoekie. Hierdie is nie 'n kieskeurige vis nie en sal aan alles byt, dog 'n pienk garnaal sal dit nie by verby swem nie.

STEENBRAS Wat 'n sterk vis om aan die lyn te kry, hy sal baklei totdat hy op die strand lê en dan nog steeds nie opgee nie. Hierdie is 'n sterk vis en durf ons dit normaalweg met 'n 2/0 tot 3/0 hoek aan wat gevul is met hetsy pelser, tjokka, mossel of kreef.

Laasgenoemde natuurlik eerder 'n delikatesse wat die mens self wil nuttig. Die amptelike rekord staan hier op 17,3kg maar groter diklippe van tot 23kg is al aan wal gebring. Word baie in die omgewing van Walle, Myl 98, Canopy, Doep se Gat en Leiter gevang.

KABELJOU

'n Haai met 'n skrikwekkende stel tande wat ook nie sonder 'n staal strop en groot hoeke aangedurf word nie. Alhoewel die rekord op 87kg staan is dit 'n haai wat sommer in 10 tot 20 minute geland word en is nie 'n groot vegter nie. Hierdie haai verkies kouer water en kom oral aan ons kus voor en sal enige visaas vreet wat jy in die water gooi. Pasop egter vir die stel tande wanneer die haai geland is aangesien die haai die tip van sy eie stert met gemak kan raakbyt en is lief om hengelaars te probeer byt op die strand.

BABER

ELF

Beter bekend as “shad” en baiekeer verwar met 'n kabeljou deur die hengelaar, is hierdie vis 'n baie lekker eetvis wat aan ons kus gevang word. Die vis word meestal gevang wanneer die hengelaars gewoonweg hengel vir kabeljou of steenbra en die aas wat aangebied word vertoon lewendig genoeg dan vat die vis graag die lyn.

As daar spesifiek gehengel word vir elf moet gebruik gemaak word van 'n stukkie staalstrop of klavier-draad en 'n 3/0 tot 4/0 hoek. 'n Kurk of “bung” word dan ook gebruik om vlottasie aan die aas te gee en dit meer lewendig te laat vertoon. Die amptelike rekord hier is 4,2kg.

Nou ja wat kan ek hiervan sê, net dat baie hengelaars die vis nie kan verdra nie en kwaad word as dit byt. Dit is egter vir baie hengelaars 'n delikatesse en is baie gesog wanneer dit gerook is.

Hierdie vis is egter net so heerlik wanneer dit gefilliteer word en in 'n bietjie botter met sout en peper gebak word. Smaaklike ete.

Word tot en met 1kg groot in ons waters en kom orals voor en vreet ook enige aas. Pasop vir daardie geniepsige pen bo-op en aan die kant van die kop, dit kan jou hengel uitstappie totaal bederf vir die dag.

LEERVIS

'n Minder bekende roofvis aan ons kus wat meer warm water verkies. Alhoewel dit resident is aan ons kus jag dit meer in die warm maande vanaf November tot April en is groot sport om aan te keer. Meestal word kunsaas gebruik waarvan “poppers” die gewildste is. Hier is die amptelike rekord slegs 12kg maar groter “leeries” van tot 24kg is reeds aan wal gebring.

ALGEMEEN Seker die mees gejagte vis aan ons Namibiese kus aangesien hierdie roofvis nie speel wanneer dit jou hoek gryp nie. Hy kan sommer korte mette maak met jou aas en is 'n kalant wat maar met 'n stewige hoek vanaf 'n 4/0 tot en met 'n 7/0 aangekeer moet word.

Omdat hierdie vis so aggresief is, is dit gewoonlik maklik om die vis aan te keer aangesien hy homself gewoonlik vang. Hier is die amptelike rekord 25,9kg met 'n bevestigte 33kg wat op 'n skiboot gevang is. Daar is natuurlik fotos van groot vis met geskatte gewigte van tot en met 86kg, ek weet nou nie of dit voor of na die vloeibare versnaperinge was nie. Hierdie vis kom algemeen oral aan ons kus voor en word maklik gekul met 'n sardyn, tjokka of ansjovis. 'n Kombinasie van sardyn en tjokka is ook baie gewild. Indien seekat poot beskikbaar is, is dit ook 'n baie suksesvolle aas.

Hengel is soos jag en durf jy nie 'n olifant aan met 'n .22 kaliber nie, dus maak seker dat jy die regte gerei vir die regte doel aanskaf.

Daarvoor is daar meestal kundiges by hengelwinkels en vra dus daarom raad.

Verder sorg jy dat jy altyd die varsste moontlike aas bekom aangesien die resultate daarmee beter is. Hengel altyd met in agneming van jou mede hengelaars en die natuur.

PUBLIC NOTICE Bannerman Mining Resources Ltd wishes to erect and operate a crib leach pilot facility on EPL 3345 during 2014 which will enable the Company to conduct larger scale test work to finalise the metallurgical parameters for the detailed design phase of the Etango Uranium Project. In terms of the Namibian Environmental Management Act (No.7 of 2007) and associated Regulations (2012), an Environmental Clearance Certificate is required for which an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) must be submitted to the Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET).

The old Aquitaine exploration drilling site has been chosen as the pilot plant site as: • the area was disturbed by historical exploration activities conducted in the 1970s, • it is close to where the ore is surfacing so there is minimal rock removal, it is accessible via existing roadways, and • it will not be visible from existing tourist routes.

The facility will consist of four cribs, each 2m x2m in cross-section and 7 metres high capable of holding ~ 45t of agglomerated feed ore. The outcropping ore material will be blasted, mined and crushed within a 2 months period before the pilot activities begin, and only during daylight.

There will be two emergency/research personnel on night duty either on site or based at a to-be-agreed residence nearby. It is expected that the Pilot Plant will operate for at least 2 years.

The public and affected parties are invited to send comments and attend the Public Open Day there will be no formal presentation but several Bannerman personnel and ASEC environmental specialists will be there to explain and answer questions.

Swakopmund Public Open Day on Thursday 16th January between 15h30 – 18h00 at the Uranium Institute, 667 Tamariskia Cottage Avenue, Swakopmund.

A Background Information Document is available on request from Ms. Ashby or can be viewed at either www.asecnam.com or at the Swakopmund Library, Bismark St, Woermann House.

Archers Meet at SKW for Training Camp Ten archers of different age groups have come together at the SKW sports grounds to participate in a week-long training camp which kicked off on Monday.

The course, a brainchild of Rüdiger and Marja Woortman, takes place under the watchful eye of the internationally acclaimed coach from the Federation of African Archery, Dr Josef Preisser, who is based in Sabie, South Africa. It is the third consecutive year Preisser has assisted local coaches in shaping young Namibian archers.

Besides the general preparation of all archers for the upcoming season, Preisser and his colleagues will place a special focus on 15-year old Xander Reddig. The recurve archer was awarded a universality place at this year’s Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China provided that he achieves a minimum

score at any World Archery recognised shoot.

Reddig must achieve this score at either the upcoming South African Open Championships at the end of March, or during the qualifying event for the African Continent which will be held in Windhoek, Namibia in April. However, the Archery Association of Namibia is positive that Reddig will achieve this goal and has invited him to start his preparation for the Youth Olympic Games.

“It’s important to us that he trains hard in order to not just participate in the upcoming qualifications and in China, but to be able to compete with the best. He surely has the talent to do so,” Rüdiger Woortman said. In April Reddig will face his first big test of the year when the Federation of African Archery Youth Championships and Continental Qualifier for the Youth Olympic Games take place in Windhoek.

However, this won’t be the first time the youngster breathes international air. In October last year Reddig formed part of the Namibian team that travelled to Wuxi, China to participate in the Youth World Championships. Although he didn’t manage a place among the top shooters, Reddig gained valuable experience at the prestigious and highly competitive event.

Kudus maak reg vir 2014 seisoen Kondig Maandag nuwe afrigters vir 2014 aan. Kudus kom Maandag 13.01.2014 vir die eerste keer die jaar bymekaar om die 2014 seisoen te bespreek.

Alle oud-spelers sowel as nuwe spelers wat wil kom aansluit word versoek om 18:30 by die veld te wees waartydens die nuwe afrigters vir die 2014 seisoen ook bekend gestel gaan word.

H u i d i g e a f r i g t e r, Donovan Paulse het hom nie weer beskikbaar gestel en gaan sy gewig by De Duine ingooi terwyl sy assistent Elic De Wee ook bedank het.

Op die bestuurskant word ook veranderinge verwag waneer die Algemene Jaar vergadering later die maand plaasvind aangesien heelwat lede hul nie weer verkiesbaar gestel het nie. ‘n Gewigtige taak rus op die oorblywende bestuur om saam met nuwe lede drastiese planne in plek te sit om Kudus weer die gevreesde span van so paar jaar gelede te maak.

Kudu Rugby Klub nooi enige iemand wat ‘n positiewe bydrae tot die klub wil maak om kontak te maak met die huidige bestuurslede.

Die kanniedood lede wat oorbly is oortuig dat die klub weer binne n bestek van paar maande op volle vaart gaan wees.

Dis geen geheim dat dinge op en van die veld nie verloop het soos dit altyd moes nie en die laaste twee maande is probleem areas geïdentifiseer wat aandag nodig het. ‘n Besigheidseenheid is gestig en sal voortaan die klub se finansiële sake hanteer waaraan die Klub Voorsitter ook verslag moet gee.

Die uitdeel van spelerskontrakte is na die aanwys van die nuwe afrigters die hoofpunt op die agenda vir Maandag. Alle lede en nuwe lede moet 18:15 by die veld wees.

Die Algemene Jaarvergadering van Kudu Rugby Klub sal plaasvind op Dinsdag die 28ste Januarie 2014 om 18:30 by die Narraville Klubhuis. Alle Bestuurslede, spelers, oud-spelers, nuwe spelers en die gemeenskap word uitgenooi na die vergadering.

Van der Berg and Malan Continued Another highlight of the day was young Quinn Redding shooting 660 points in the U15 girl’s category elimination round. Although her target was only placed 20 meters away, her accumulated points speak volumes about her class and she is definitely an archer to watch out for in the future. Redding then went on to win the final of the compound U13 category elimination shoot-out against her only rival Maarten van der Merwe. The Sparta Archery Club expressed its gratitude to all the Archers that came for the year end shoot and extended a special thank you to all the sponsors for making the day possible.

Action packed Chess season ahead This year brings along a lot of excitement to the chess fraternity, as a number of chess events are planned to ignite and uplift chess in Namibia.

Worth noting in this regard is the Zone 4.3 Chess Championships scheduled to take place in Namibia in May. The Zone 4.3 tournament is a prestigious FIDE (World Chess Federation) tournament held for SADC based chess players to qualify for the Chess World Cup. In addition to this, the NCF calendar also hosts the highly anticipated Namibian National Chess Championship slated for mid-April this year.

Rumours are that the nationals for this year will expect a large crowed of chesshungry enthusiasts from all over the coun-

try as a large number of chess players around the country all want to qualify for the 2014 Chess Olympiads taking place in Tromso, Norway in August later this year. The President of the NCF, Mr Otto Nakapunda, states that he has high hopes for the growth of chess in Namibia this year and implores the media and the general public alike to assist in making each and every chess event planned for this year a success.

The Namibian National Olympic Committee (NNOC) offers all members of the public to form part of the group of runners/walkers that will carry the Baton of the Queen's Baton Relay through Windhoek, Khomasdal and Katutura , which is scheduled to take place in Namibia on 29 January.

The Queen's Baton Relay began its 190,000km-long journey around the Commonwealth in October last year, before opening of the Commonwealth Games on 23 July 2014. The event, similar to the Olympic Torch Relay, is a relay around the world held prior to the beginning of the Commonwealth Games.

The Baton carries a message from the Head of the Commonwealth, Queen Elizabeth II. The Relay traditionally begins at Buckingham Palace in London as a part of the city's Commonwealth Day festivities. The Queen entrusts the baton to the first relay runner. At the Opening Ceremony of the Games, the final relay runner hands the baton back to the Queen, or her representative, who reads the

message aloud to officially open the Games. “We want people of all walks of life to be part of this magnificent event”, said Joan Smit, General Secretary of the NNOC. She encouraged all interested parties to submit their names and contact details to the NNOC by latest Wednesday, 15 January. The NNOC will select a number of runners/walkers to carry the baton around the capital, according to the places available. “Even if you carry the baton for a mere 10 meters, it is an opportunity not to be missed”, Smit underlined. The NNOC is currently finalising the route. The entire event will be covered by a TV crew from the BBC. Anyone interested can get in touch with the NNOC via E-Mail (info@nnocnamibia.com) or telephonically (061 229285).

Three medals for Namibia

PROUDLY NAMIBIAN: Members of the Namibian contingent that were in action at the 6th Karate-do Goju-Kai World Championships

Van der Berg and Malan win year-end shoot-out Henk van der Berg and Ilana Malan won the men’s and women’s compound category respectively at the last archery tournament of the year which was held at the Sparta Archery Club in Walvis Bay a fortnight ago.

A total of 20 archers participated at the event at the coast, which was marked by strong winds. 72 arrows (max of 720 points) had to be shot during the qualification round by all archers over various distances according to their age category. The participants then moved on to the elimination round where they were ranked according to the points accumulated during the qualification round.

Unfortunately, some categories didn’t move to the elimination round due to a lack of participants.

These winners were determined after the qualification round only.

TAKING AIM

During the qualification round, Ruan van Staden cruised to the first place with an impressive 666 points. The second place went to Sebastian Fechter (659), while Henk van der Berg came in third (658).

Van Staden was then unable to take his run of form to the final of the elimination round where he eventually lost to van der Berg. It was a closely contested final. With a maximum of 150 points up for grabs, van der Berg helped himself to 138 points, while van Staden had to settle for 136 points. In the woman’s category, Ilana Malan

made her victory perfect in dominating fashion. She acquired 632 points. Connie Smit and Bea Viviers couldn’t match Malan’s form and had to share the second place with 615 points each. Meanwhile André van der Merwe came out victorious in the compound junior men category. This category was made up of shooters form different age categories because of the lack of participants. The second place went to Warren Smit. Johan van der Merwe came in third.

The 6th Karate-do Goju-Kai World Championships was held recently in Mumbai, India from 11-15 December 2013.

Goju-Kai Namibia sent a team of 25 participants ranging in age groups from 8 years old to seniors (18 years and over). The team was reasonably inexperienced in terms of international sport karate, but they competed strongly by the end of the competition, Namibia had won 3 bronze medals. The medals were won by: - JayDean Martin – Kumite (fighting) Senior Women, Rasmus Esterhuizen – Kata Boys 11 Years Old and Leo Zhang – Kumite Boys 13 Years Old. This was a great achievement for Namibia Goju-Kai, given the limited exposure to competitive sport karate. In fact the majority of the team achieved positions in the top eight of their respective categories. “I’m very proud of the team’s performance after the hard work we have put in as preparation for this championship for last year” said the Team Coach and Chief Instructor of Goju-Kai Namibia: Shihan Leonard Martin.

This world championship takes place every four years and hosts the best karate athletes training in the style of Goju-Kai from around the world.

Goju-Kai Namibia was fortunate enough to be able to attend this prestigious event.

Approximately 1,000 participants from 32 countries participated in this tournament. The level of competition was of an extremely high standard.

Goju-Kai Namibia was established in 1990 by Renshi Shihan Trevor Norval and has since produced some highly qualified instructors and karatekas who have proved themselves in the local and international karate arena. Goju-Kai Namibia offers tuition to all ages at their dojos in Walvis Bay, Windhoek, Swakopmund.
