“Yes the strike is still on and the workers are determined to address the salary discrimination dispute.” This was the response of the striking employees at Walvis Bay Salt Holdings, yesterday.
The workers downed tools on Monday, after no satisfactory solution for both parties (company and employees) could be reached. Page 39 An alleged discriminatory salary structure is one of the workers’ main concerns. In yesterday’s press release the workers’ union (Mine Workers Union of Namibia) notes that it is sad to mention that their [company’s] conduct of rule-violation has been Page 40 condoned by the Nami-

Projects under this budget include the construction of the Community hall in Narraville, Satellite Fire Station and municipal account payments offices in Tutaleni Area, Industrial Stalls in Kuisebmond and the development of new campsite facilities at Dolphin Park and the upgrading of the Sport facilities in Kuisebmond. For infrastructure related projects – N$39 million. These projects are mainly made up of the resealing of streets and sidewalks in all the suburbs in our town, surfacing of sidewalks, tarring
of streets, garages and structural maintenance to the Civic Centre. N$14 million has been allocated for service delivery – related projects, and projects in this category include implementation, upgrading and replacement of water and sewer infrastructure, including the capacity increase of the Long Beach Reservoir Pump Station, construction of a new reservoir at Mile 7, upgrading of current sewerage treatment plant, planning of new sewerage plant and fencing of the landfill site. N$11 million has also been allocated for vehicle replacements and additions and the main components under this category are for traffic patrol, roads and sew-
er system maintenance and refuse removal vehicles. Projects below N$500 000 will total N$38 million. For the operating budget, expected revenue for the new financial year is estimated at about N$351,3 million, while the expected expenditure has been recorded at N$353,9 million. Thus the expected deficit of about N$2,6 million. “About 80% of total revenue is obtained from water and related services, property rates and taxes, refuse removal services and sewage services.

Namibia should become leading fishing nation: Esau The Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources plans to make Namibia a leading fishing nation in the world, with a well-developed aquaculture sector. Briefing the media yesterday, Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources Benhardt Esau said his ministry’s strategic intent will be guided by ensuring the responsible management of Namibia’s living aquatic resources and develop the aquaculture sector to the benefit of the present and future generations. The plan is part of the ministry’s strategic intent
which was handed over to President Hage Geingob in May this year. Geingob asked all ministers to hand in strategic intentions of what their ministries will carry out during the next five years, which will constitute their promise to the public. “We want to ensure that our country remains the most sought-after fishing destination in the world and ensure that we remain
the leader in the selected product markets in which we have a comparative advantage like hake, horse mackerel, among others,” he said. He indicated that the ministry will ensure operational excellence and innovation throughout all its operations and activities. “We will ensure that we add value to local resources and create sustainable employment for all our

This is in line with the distribution costs incurred by Council.” He described the budget as ‘well-thoughtthrough for Council and all stakeholders.’ He also described the budget as ‘‘Council’s policy of being transparent at all times and contributing constructively to the wellbeing of all our residents and most of all, progressively eliminating hardship and poverty.’’
“The seriousness of your Council to work towards the improvement of our city, is to accommodate everyone’s needs in the best possible balance – as well as facilitating high and sustainable economic growth and provide increased income equality and employment creation.” Once the tariff adjustments for all services have been gazetted, it will be made available to the public through the Municipal offices and through the media.

the striking employees, which according to the MUN is unfair practise. “Our only sincere demand to the Namibian Police is to apply the rules fairly and not to discriminate. Either you remove yourselves or try not to bring our Police Force’s good name into disrepute with your biased conduct in this specific matter,” the MUN states. As per the statement, Union marshals are also being refused to enter the site by the company.
According to the statement, all this have been brought under the attention of the Labour Commissioner’s Office, but because of their “cosy” relationship, the workers were allegedly told by the Labour Commissioner’s Office to rather opt for an interdict, as it is outside their powers, whilst Rule 3 states the following “... this office is legally and practically responsible for industrial action management, monitoring, and supervision.”
After nine years at the Namibian Coast Conservation and Management (NACOMA) Project, Rodney Braby, better known as Rod Braby, bids farewell to the Project. Braby will embark on a new career at the Benguela Current Marine Spatial Management and Governance Project commissioned through the Benguela Current Commission by the Federal Republic of Germany’s Environment Ministry. Having always believed in conservation, Rod started his career at NACOMA as a Senior Technical Advisor. He was then promoted to Project Coordinator and was instrumental in the proclamation of the Dorob National Park in 2010
and developed a framework to strengthen nature conservation in the coastal regions of Namibia. Since the Project’s inception in 2006, Rod and his team created, implemented, educated and promoted sustainable economic development through the
notion of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM). “I would say all NACOMA accomplishments have been a team effort and I really do not deserve all the merit as maintaining a highly motivated and productive team has always

The ministry also intends to ensure sustainable revenue to fiscus. “Our process will be underpinned by operational excellence, environmental standards, citizens’ empowerment and supporting our people,” said Esau.

Some of these projects are: N$25 million for 600 dia mm link line for water, N$25 million for 20 Mega liter reservoir, N$10 million for two pump station for sewerage and N$120 million for a new sewerage treatment plant which is currently in the planning phase”, Mr Tony Raw said. Average tariff adjustments on these items have been proposed as follows: water supply services:12%, property rates and taxes: 12% on site values and 12% on improvements, refuse removal services: 10% and sewage services:10%. “On the tariffs though, I should mention that all residents pay the same amount

Rod was fortunate enough to have worked with some of the country’s bestknown conservationists, namely Steven and Louise Braine, Rudi and Blythe Loutit, Jacquie and Peter Tarr and John Paterson to name a few but his career highlights at NACOMA was being honoured by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET) and the Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group of Companies with an Honorary Coastodian award and a Special Achievement Award - World Class Conservation award respectively. Rod’s role in Conserva-
tion at the coast Rod has been involved in securing safe breeding areas for Namibia’s coastal bird populations such as the Damara Tern and the African Black Oystercatchers, as well as monitoring and protecting desert-adapted elephants, black rhinos and lions in the country’s northwestern region. He has been actively involved in environmental issues for over 30 years, ploughing back into conservation a lot of his free time, writing articles and publications and serving as the chairman on the Namibia Wildlife Society from 1993 to 1994, the Surfing Association of Namibia from 1996 to 2006, Vice President of the African Surfing Federation for two years, and then finally a trustee at the Save the Rhino Trust for the past
Rod Braby four years. He also spent much time on aerial and ground surveys along the entire Namibian coastline on wildlife, mining impacts, birds and cetaceans. Cameron Kandjii, appointed as Acting NACOMA Project Coordinator, thanked Rod for his years of dedicated service at NACOMA and for “the role he played in grooming young and competent Namibian staff in whose hands the Namibian coastline will be sustainably managed to the future generations of our beloved country.”

Another life claimed on B2 Marshallino Beukes
Two motor vehicles were involved in a collission on the B2 highway, just outside Swakopmund on Wednesday morning, and one person died on the spot. According to the police spokesperson, Deputy Commissioner Otillie Kashuupulwa, one of the vehicles (a dark green VW Jetta) was travelling towards Swakopmund, while the other vehicle (a red Toyota Hilux bakkie) was on its way in Arandis' direction. Allegedly the Toyota bakkie attempted to make a U-turn, back to Swakopmund and the driver supposedly did not notice the oncoming sedan, resulting in the collision. The two passengers in the bakkie sustained minor injuries, while the driver was hospitalised with back injuries. Unfortunately the Jetta's driver, Maleachi Goabab (42) did not make it. The Jetta overturned upon impact and it is suspected that it rolled over the deceased, crushing him. The five passengers in the sedan were also hospitalised. Late Wednesday afternoon Eagle Christian Centre Ambulance
services had to rush two of the injured persons to Windhoek for extensive medical treatment. Mr Terrence Ward of this ambulance service, yesterday commened that they are doing well and are out of danger. Meanwhile the Erongo police has identified the victim of another fatal accident, which occurred on Sunday night, approximately 30km outside Swakopmund on the B2 highway. He was identified as the 36-year old Hauwanga Eliakim Tileinge. Emergency personnel had to use hydraulic rescue tools to free the lifeless body of the deceased from the vehicle, after it collided head-on with a bakkie of the Department of Health and Social Services. Mr Ward informed the newspaper yesterday that he died of multiple injuries and also that the seriously injured persons, in this case, are also out of danger at a Windhoek hospital.

Students, DPHS management and Mr Katowa_ Students from Duneside Private High School in Walvis Bay, were selected to represent Namibia at the Genius Olympiad International High School Science, Technology, Engineering and Environmental Fair at the State University of New York in Oswego, USA. Eusebio Omar van Reenen (Grade 12), Christon Gude (Grade 11) and Gaironeeza Maclobo (Grade 11) spent 2 weeks in the United States and performed excellently at the Science Fair. All three students won Scholarships to the Oswego State University of New York. Christon walked away with a Gold medal and a Samsung tablet and Eusebio achieved honours for his science project at the fair. Eusebio did an investigation into discovering new methods to improve agricultural output by “using an organic gas that an apple releases to ripen fruit faster.” He says the gas he discovered will ripen fruit without causing cancer and he extracted DNA from their nuclei to prove his hypothesis. He says with this gas he will minimise the amounts of fruit being wasted and boost Namibia's agricultural industry. “I was honoured and see it as a huge privilege. The science fair was an opportunity of a lifetime, to exhibit my project and show my discoveries to professor and share my love for science. You need to work hard. Make sure your academic results are good. My school played a huge roll in achieving this and they were my platform to practice my capabilities of a leader. The teachers helped me to become who I am. Getting accepted is not where it stops for me.” Christon created a Robot made out of recycled materials he named R.O.B. “The eco-friendly robot will attend to every human's need and help the community recover from natural disasters efficiently. The main purpose of the robot is to make Namibia a manufacturing hub for the robotics industry.” Christon says this trip was very enlightening. “You get to experience different things with the other students. You can see how and what they are basically doing. Do not believe people who allege you can't get into Harvard, you can, it is open and they are offering you the opportunity you just need to show them good results.” Gaironeeza did research into the natural phenomenon behind epilepsy. “Through my study I have found that in the community of Walvis Bay the older age demographic is more aware of the stages of epilepsy than the younger age group. My project was inspired by my brother who has been diagnosed with epilepsy and ADD.” Gaironeeza's experience of going to the States was always a dream of hers “With this long-lived dream I was given this opportunity and it has made it made it all complete for me. The people are one of a kind - very different from the African people. The people are more helpful and they are calmer, they do their jobs with pride.” Eusebio says he will commence with his studies at the university next year in September. He will pursue a degree in Medical Science, Microbiology and Genetics. “I want to become a scientist, discovering new cures to advance the Namibian science field.” Christon Gude and Gaironeeza Maclobo will commence their studies at the university in 2017. Christon will continue working on robotics in computer science, and Gaironeeza will engage in Business studies, while also representing the university on the sports field. The students are grateful for the opportunity the regional office has given them and thanked all their sponsors, parents and friends who have supported them financially, to attend the event. They say it has changed their future and has helped them to achieve their dreams. They thanked the Principal and Staff members of Duneside, who have sculpted them into becoming the young scientists that they are today.

Burglary raising fear at coast Madelaine Laubscher A burglary led to one person being stabbed in his home in the early hours of Thursday morning in Swakopmund. This has raised concern from home owners as many do not feel safe in their homes any more. According to a trusted source, the burglary ocurred at 02:00 in Vineta and the suspects are still at large. “The break-in occurred in 2nd Avenue in Vineta. A window had been left open and subsequently the burglars gained entry into the house. One person in the house was stabbed with a knife. Three cellphones and a
Toshiba laptop were stolen,” the source said. Traces of blood were found after the incident and according to the source the victim is currently in hospital recovering from the stab wounds. A member of the Swakopmund Neighbourhood Watch said the victim was hurt quite badly, but is recovering well and that the suspects are still at large.
We followed their footprints into Mondesa but could not trace it from there onwards. People should not leave windows open where there are no burglar bars. They should also call the Neighbourhood Watch immediately when they notice anything suspect, including anyone noticed prowling around the neighbourhood.
Look closely at the gear the suspect person is wearing (shoes, hats, pants). We have had approximately 6 break-ins in Swakopmund since Friday. People need to be more alert. There is a new trend where taxi drivers are involved in stealing laptops from guesthouses. For example, three culprits would act as though they want to book a room at a
guest house. One would wait at reception while the other two would ask the reception to let them view the room. When they return to reception, the third culprit will have fled with the laptops. People need to be alert and call us immediately,” the member said.

“Phone Pranks will stand trial” –Ileni Shapumba Mavourlene Gaes
The police are warning the Walvis Bay community to refrain from phoning them with false information. This warning follows a recent call to the Kuisebmond police station, reporting a local school in Kuisebmond being on fire. Sergeant Ilieni Shapumba from the Nampol Erongo police community office stated that anybody caught would be dealt with. According to Shapumba they received a call at around 19:45 on Tuesday evening from what sounded like the voice of a mature middle-aged woman. “She called the charge office and said a school (gave the name) was on fire and it sounded like she was running or something” he explains. He further added that the mystery woman failed to
give further information as she apparently did not have enough credit and hung up. The police responded to the call immediately and alerted the fire brigade who also rushed to the scene. Upon arrival, Shapumba explains, they found no trace of a fire and the security official at the school also carried no knowledge of such an incident. He stressed this has not been the first time people, particularly kids, called in to give false information.
Nampol Erongo Police Community Affairs Office's, Sergeant Ileni Shapumba
He added that the police emergency number 10111 was ringing constantly, and sometimes for nothing. Shapumba has also warned alcohol outlets like shebeens and bars to exercise a strict sense of responsibility, regarding their businesses, including the control of sound or noise. “It should be confined to the environment where it is produced.” In the same vein, he has warned churches to refrain from taking their high volume speakers to the streets
and running sermons until late. “We should be reasonable, even preaching should be done in a confined environment, because we are not all coming from the same churches.” Shapumba urged the public to become responsible – else they might eventually get apprehended and have to stand trial. Members of the public who do not have credit, can phone or sms 081 485 0954 if they want to report crime.

Selling fishing quotas is a punishable offence: PS Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources Permanent Secretary (PS) Moses Muarihungirire has warned that the sale of fishing quotas is a transgression. Speaking during a media briefing in Windhoek, Muarihungirire said selling fishing quotas was not within any Namibian Government policy. Every two or three years, the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources allocates new fishing quotas to people who are previously disadvantaged. Some of these rights holders, however, sell their quotas to big fishing firms. Muarihungirire has explained that the intent of the government to allocate fishing quotas to previously disadvantaged people is to empower Namibians in the long term.
“We want them to retain their quotas and engage in various businesses pertaining to their quotas which they have been given and start exploiting them to the fullest and acquire assets in the long run,” he said. He says when people apply for fishing rights/quotas, they come up with “rosy business proposals” which are the vehicles that allow them to be selected. When scrutinised, these business proposals make a
lot of sense but after they have acquired the quotas, some holders sell theirs. He has warned that those who have sold their quotas will be traced and steps will be taken against them. “We are not going to prosecute them, but there are measures to be taken regarding the selling of the quotas,” he stated without elaborating on the types of measures to be taken.

Manica gives back Leandrea Louw
Four of the students who went on the trip to NaDeet, with Priscilla Kuzeeko, Ms Viktoria Keding Administrative Assistant of NaDeet, Mr Nolito Marques of Manica and Mr Mashawu, teacher at Kuisebmond Secondary School As part of their social responsibility Manica Group Namibia gave Grade 11 and 12 learners from Kuisebmond Secondary School a biodiversity tour of the South of the Namib Desert over a 3 day expedition, from 15 to 19 June. The expedition cost around N$55 000. A quick presentation of the expedition was given at the Manica Office in Walvis Bay. A group of 39 learners and 2 teachers were given the opportunity to travel to the Namibia Desert Environmental Education Trust (NaDEET) Centre which is located 100 km south of Sesriem/Sossusvlei on the NamibRand Nature Reserve. “Our programs is not only to give students an outdoor- nature experience, but to teach them to think differently in society. We not only teach them what our rights are but also what our responsibilities to the outside world are,” said Ms Viktoria Keding Director and cofounder of NaDEET. Mr Johnathan Mashawu, Mathematics and Science teacher at Kuisebmond Secondary School gave a brief presentation, on what the 3 day trip entailed. “On our first day we measured the enviro footprint, this is how we calculate the average on water and energy usage. We also had the chance to experience solar cooking. We cooked all our food with solar power. The second day we had a dune walk where we came across an Oryx, a wedge snouted lizard and numerous desert plans. We also measured the micro climate of a small area and we also made fire balls from recycling material.” “We also had an activity, where the main lesson for the learners was to teach learners about making the best choices within their concerning priorities. The last day we had some fun, by dune boarding, and we also had the privilege of a 'night sky', where we identified different stars and planets of the solar system.” Mr Mashawu and his learners expressed their gratitude towards Manica for making this trip possible. “Thank you for your commitment of giving opportunities to the Namibian child as a corporate partner in Education.”

Swaco Group Supports Rhino Conservation For their Social Investment Project this year, the Swaco Group of Companies decided to support the Save the Rhino Trust in their tireless efforts to protect the desert-adapted black rhino of the Kunene and Erongo regions. “The days when the government was seen as the only social change agent and the absolute macro problem solver are becoming part of the past, as the corporate market are gradually realising their role too by actively participating in social and community projects under the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Namibia. Corporations have come to realise that they cannot operate in isolation to the community, that good governance and social involvement go beyond the work performed in their own offices. At the Swaco Group of Companies, we believe in the voluntary involvement, or investment, in social projects that help advance the society/the community

WHY? The marine resources are limited and currently some of them are overfished or over collected. It is necessary that everybody uses them wisely and carefully to secure the future harvesting needs by protecting the stock. Quantity/number of marine resources harvestable, minimum size limits of fish and crayfish that can be caught, open season etc. help to manage stocks to avoid the total disappearance of some species in our waters. Do not leave bait or fish on the beach! Either take it home or return it to the sea. This food attracts scavengers like jackals and gulls that prey on other bio-diversity. When you are back home after the holiday, it also inflates the predator population. Where can you get a license for angling, crayfish diving & bait/mussels collection?

Working closely with the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, local communities and NGOs, their dedicated teams of trackers go out on daily patrols to monitor the last truly free-ranging population of black rhino in the world.” The Group of Companies donated an amount of N$35 250 to Save the Rhino Trust to participate in their sponsor-a-rhino programme in support of their work with the desert-adapted black rhino.

Nigeria and Nawalta cow named Nigeria, who was born in the Torra Conservancy in August 1996. She has given birth to 4 calves, all of which are still surviving. Nigeria’s most recent calf is a male born in January 2013 and has survived the most devastating drought experienced in Namibia. Like most rhinos his age, the calf is still reliant on his mother to teach him how to survive in the wilderness. The Swaco Group of Companies proudly named the calf Nawal-

We challenge all companies to invest in this worthy cause and equal or better our contribution!”

Accident
A vehicle accident occurred this morning outside Swakopmund, at the airport T-junction. It was reported that the driver of the green VW Jetta died on the scene. Eight people were injured and the nature of their injuries was described as not serious. Ewald Meyer Well then red bakkie ? Evengiline Diergaardt ‘Toena’ i can say that its not alwys the case that your car looks like that due to speed cause we were in an accident four years ago hit by a truck from behind and a double cab from the front our car was folded but non of us died so may God be with the survivers. The looks of a car is cause by the impact and oh ya we were driving 60 km /ph due to heavy rain. Nieuwoudt Boshoff Ya Allah! Why must people always be reckless on that Swakop road? I drove to Whk about 2 weeks ago, and almost also had an accident there because people don’t consider on-coming traffic before turning onto the main road. My condolences to the family of the deceased. Regina Andrew Lets just pray for safer roads and the right attitude towards drivers. Chris Engels SPEED KILLS, by the look of the

doen ‘n u-turn net om parkeerplek te kry en hulle stop dan soos hond se gat oor twee plekke of so naby aan jou kar dat jy moet wag tot hulle klaar is met shopping dat jy ook kan ry en by die huis kom.

waar my kar deur die houd gegaan het en gerol het. Dis nog nie reg gemaak nie en die karre het al besluit dat dit die nuwe ingang en uitgang is na die surkel toe. Dis gevaarlik of moet mens weer daar ongeluk maak voordat daar aandag gegee word daaraan. Carol Eck
Path a way forward
Please media and all relevant stakeholders: Explain to me and the nation how you also so enthusiastically lobbied for the ban on armed police and their excessive force used in the Frieda shooting at swapo hq (how soon we forget coz we forgot)? I for one haven’t seen the outcry on such a level as I’m seeing it currently in the pittbul attack of young Fred Savage (which I don’t vindicate) - may his soul Rest In Peace. However, as a lover and owner of the breed I take exception to how the negative fires are fuelled by ignorant people and a sensationalistic media! Blame can be shifted to and fro - from all parties, no
amount of mudslinging can restore Fred’s mother’s heart-wrenching loss! We ought to look at the issue holistically and meet around the table and path a way forward to control possible future incidents- concerned groups, NPBA, lawmakers alike! Our past has taught us that segregation/ maligning/ classification of people does not work. Harold Mrmagic Davids
Ku Klux Klan Episode - Letter to the Editor The Swakopmund episode with Carnival participants dressing up in Ku Klux Klan costumes with black faces raises a number of very disturbing questions: What kind of attitudes are bred in the families of these people? How do the adults on the Carnival Committee condone such blatantly racist expressions? And worse, what does the Allgemeine Zeitung’s publication of these images, without total condemnation, say about its pandering to a certain minority in the German community? Freedom of speech and ‘creativity’ should have limits and such serious transgressions should be brought before the law and condemned by every Namibian.
It is perhaps not an overstatement to say that attitudes like these are part of the same blind mentality that led to the most heinous crimes in history, and now shows itself in the ISIS syndrome. Namibia is not immune. No matter how small this loutish fringe may be, those who flout our government’s efforts to reconcile our communities, do so at the peril of all Namibians’ future. Anita Brandt

1797 Historic Coin Found in Walvis Bay
9
A 1797 coin minted in Soho England 218 years ago, was found in Walvis Bay on 4 January 2015. The coin was found in the area of the Weigh Bridge in Walvis Bay. At first the person who found the coin thought that it was a copper washer and possibly worth a penny, but what he actually found was a cartwheel penny! He certainly made a few cartwheels of excitement at discovering such a valuable and historic coin lying in the sands of time in Walvis Bay. He found the coin to be heavily corroded by the patina on copper. Unfortunately, by cleaning the coin, he removed much of the value attached to such a find.
Head and tail of the 1797 cartwheel penny found in Walvis Bay On closer inspection it was found to be an original cartwheel penny that was minted in 1797 and it clearly shows the head of the British King, George III, who ruled over England, France and Germany at the time. What is interesting is that King George III ruled England for 60 years from 1760 to 1820 and one of the longest reigns in British history. He married a German bride, Charlotte Sophia of Mecklenburg-Stre-
litz, and was happily married for more than 50 years, fathered 16 children and remained faithful to his wife all his life. He was known to have been a pious religious man who did not tolerate corruption. He also was a friend to the farmer community and he loved Science, Agriculture and Horticulture. He made many positive contributions to the cultural revolution of his day in England. Owing
to his standing as king and his ardent interest in scientific progress the discovery at the time of the planet Uranus was dedicated unto him. The planet was named the King’s Star after him when Herchell discovered it in his time of kingship. The discovery was attributed to King George III. Seeing that the cartwheel penny was discovered in the sands of Walvis Bay may call for speculation of the moment when and why this
particular coin was lost. The penny must have been brought here on board a sailing ship which very possibly could have been the Hope. On 26 February 1793 the Dutch erected the Stone of Possession at Walvis Bay. The Stone of Possession had the arms of the State engraved on the one side and a monogram of the East India Company on the other side. Two years later 1795 France invaded Hol-
land. England feared that the French could also gain control of the sea route to India. England dispatched a naval force to occupy the Cape. They then sent Captain Alexander to proceed up the West Coast to examine the base including Walvis Bay and to take possession on behalf of the British Crown. The British immediately proclaimed a monopoly over the rich whaling and sealing
grounds. A cruiser was commissioned to protect these industries of exploitation of other countries. The Star in 1796, renamed the Hope, was this cruiser in the Royal navy that traded with the Topnaars who lived in the dunes around Walvis Bay. This trade flourished for several years. This particular penny dated 1797 could very possibly have been used as part of this trading. The same coins had also
been found in the Cape of Good Hope. Another point of interest is that this coin was found here in Walvis Bay at a time just after the birth of the New Prince of Whales, George VI, last year in England. It is truly interesting that this coin was found now in 2015 and one of the very tangible evidences of the annexation of the Walvis Bay enclave by the British in 1797.

Doubting my HIV Status – by Bernhard Kamatoto
Fifteen years ago I tested HIV positive and disclosed my status to the public. Some people started doubting my status, saying that the Government paid me a hefty sum of money to do that, some of them say that I am on special ARV treatment, which is better than the usual one. With a healthy body and mind, others totally doubt if I am HIV positive. 14 June 2015, on a Saturday, I received a phone call from a friend and confidante of mine, who played an important role in my life prior to me disclosing my HIV status. He first asked me where I was. I hesitated to respond and the next thing, I saw him standing a few meters away from me. He was with four people. They were having a talk about children born out of wedlock and jealous women. He introduced me to his friends and immediately someone burst out, “Is this Bernhard Kamatoto who is said to have been HIV positive for all these past years?” I responded and said “Yes it is me. There is no other Bernhard Kamatoto living with HIV here.” She responded and said, “He is lying!” The ladies and guys examined me

from head to toe, even touched me, trying to feel what my body felt like. They seemingly believed that the body of an HIV positive person should have a high temperature and mine didn’t, so according to them, the whole HIV thing with me has been a complete lie. These women started betting each other, putting money on the table to sleep with me without protection and that they would not be infected. They were completely prepared to sleep with me to prove their point and that it was up to me to say yes or no. Before I even responded, another woman emerged from the house and confronted me. She literally called me a liar and challenged me to have sex with her in one of the rooms, convinced that she would not be infected. HIV activist and namib times/Pepfar HIV CamI was very overwhelmed paign ambassador, Bernhard Kamatoto and shocked while sitting there, wondering how Share your status these people expected Share your status with those you love me to look, so that they with those you love would be sure that I was indeed HIV positive. Is an HIV positive person not supposed to look healthy like everybody else? I bet you, even if I went for an HIV test to prove to any of them, they still wouldn’t believe me. Can you see www.namtimeshivaids.org www.namtimeshivaids.org SERVING THE COASTAL COMMUNITY SINCE 1958 SERVING THE COASTAL COMMUNITY SINCE 1958 how people still think or perceive HIV! I proposed that we talk about what they wanted to know about HIV and how we could educate each other. Thy asked me a lot of questions, but I would like to share with you only three of them – with my responses. ● The first question was, “If you say you are HIV positive, how did you have a child who is HIV Practise safe sex. negative?” I informed Practise safe sex. them that I got my child Share your status with those you love. Share your status with those you love. through sexual contact. Let’s Let’s put an end to put HIV.an end to HIV. I further explained that sperm and the female egg do not carry the virus. You have to take ART very regularly for it to

work. ● An “undetectable” viral load does not mean zero. It means there is not enough HIV in your blood sample to show up on the test. ● The viral load test measures virus in the blood. It doesn’t tell you about virus in sexual fluids sperm or vaginal fluids. ● The viral load test result was for when your sample was taken, not today. Viral load can change quickly, especially if you get sick with a cold or flu, or even if you get vaccinated. ● And my child’s mother is HIV negative.
My Beautiful Princess, HIV Negative last-born, Meta Rikodonone Blessing Kamatoto The second question was; “Is it true that if a man has unprotected sex with a person and they wash their sexual organs, they wouldn’t get infected?” I informed them that this is a myth. There is no way washing one’s sexual organs after sex can protect you from getting infected, and that using protection, a Condom, is the reality of the whole process. The last question was most shocking; they asked whether it is safe to use plastic bags in the absence of condoms. Honestly, I was shocked and I asked how anybody would use a sandwich or bread bag, which is obviously not comparable
to the condom at all. They responded by saying that when the bread is hot, the plastic bag does not burst, so it wouldn’t burst even in the process of having sex. This was strange to hear and it seemed to be supported by all the men who were sitting there. I insisted on condom use while they insisted that if the condom was not available, they would rather use those plastic bags rather than having unprotected sex. So, I am still to understand and investigate the current crisis of the condom in our country. Listening to all that, I figured that there is still too much information lacking at community level. This may be HIV education, behaviour towards HIV, ignorance and thousands of myths on the ground that need to be tackled. If HIV is still judged on how one looks physically, then I think we are still far from winning this battle. Companies must come together, getting everybody on board in the Erongo region , financially support awareness campaigns, and other drives. Therefore, I call upon and challenge all these different institutions in Erongo, like NAMPORT, Rossing, Erongo Red, Swakopmund Uranium mine, all the municipalities, and business people to come on board to make sure that programmes in the community are welldriven, in order to meet the needs of people at ground level. Let us strive to have a Zero New Infection Rate and practise safe sex, and Share our status with those we love. Lets put and end to HIV. I am Bernhard Kamatoto, living with HIV. If you want to chat about HIV, phone me at 081 312 5819

Little ones at KüSKA
The children and families from Busy Bodies Montessori Nursery School all arrived in force, dressed as ‘Mafia’ characters, for the annual Küska Parade on Saturday the 27th of June. We are very proud of our ‘Mini Mafia’ and a superb time was had by all!
79 year old farmer, Mr Chris Smith has vowed to walk all the way from Windhoek to Swakopmund or Walvis Bay by the beginning of next year as part of his Cancer and Crohn’s disease awareness drive on behalf of the Cancer Association of Namibia. He says he is planning on taking on the challenge next year when he turns 90 in January provided his health remains stable and he still feels as healthy and fit as he is. “I am looking forward to
the walk of which I will walk 20 km a day, each day until I reach my destination that will either be Swakopmund or Walvis Bay” Smith says. His farm is located in the Rehoboth area.

He added that adds the reason behind his decision to do the Crohn’s disease together with the Cancer drive has to do with his wife and daughter who were both diagnosed with the disease.
Busy Bodies would like to say a huge THANK YOU to Wesbank for sponsoring our truck and to our driver James and of course, to our parents that took part, for showing their support in what we do each day for their kids. KüSKA!!!

Two members of the group, Teasko Lazarus (19) and Tangos Amarox (20) said they have performed in Windhoek recently. “We are currently busy working on our first album. We do not know the due date of the release of the album, but it will be this year soon. We will be recording the album at Ongushu. Ever since Grade 8 we were interested in hip-hop and kwaito. We’ve performed in Swakopmund various times and have singles that are currently playing on the top 10 countdown on Base FM,”
they said. “We are pushing to make a career out of our music. We want to have our own label. We are also shooting our first music video. Kele, our producer, has helped us and we want to thank him for his support. We invite all to listen to our tracks. “Better Days” is one of our top songs at the moment,” they concluded. The third member of the group is still in school and according to them he is taking a small break from the group until further notice.

led baai-poets. This is how Poetic Healing began,” she said. According to her it is called poetic healing, because poetry to them is their platform to express themselves and it heals in a certain way. “We choose a theme every month that the poets would like to recite on, that will touch lives. Some themes are funny and some are philosophical. We have serious and funny nights. Anyone can enter. The main aim is to share your passion. We also invite musicians and comedians. I encourage ladies to please come and recite, sing or share some-
thing comical. Audience members have told me that this is such a great thing we’ve started, because Walvis Bay does not have a lot of social activities going on.” Poetic Healing is held every first Friday of every month. One of the poets, Aristides Sambiliye, is a teacher by profession. He grew up in Walvis Bay. He writes poems for fun but also from time to time to live through a catharsis. “I enjoy the poetic licence that comes with it and I really write about anything, depending on the inspiration,” he said. Here is one of his poems:

Poetic Healing, which started in August last year, has become a regular activity at the coast for all poets, musicians and comedians wanting to share their passion with others. The initiator of poetic healing, Mrs Frieda Shikoyeni said Poetic Healing, which started last year in August, is meant for everyone who has a passion for poetry, music or comedy. “On a visit to Windhoek, I was invited to a poetry session. I was very intrigued in how the poets took a certain theme and made it their own. The fact that I, who did not know much about poetry, could relate to the poems inspired me. I thus approached poets I know at the coast and offered a certain platform to them to share their talent with the coastal community. There is a group here cal-

“Transport excellence” arrives at coast SBS Trucking: From humble beginnings to renowned transport company
SBS Trucking cc, a well-established road freight transport and c o u r i e r c o m p a n y, extended their business to Swakopmund this week. Their goal is to provide the highest level of transportation services, as well as safe and timely deliveries with fair and competitive pricing, while providing a safe workplace for employees and maintaining integrity, fairness and honesty with customers and business partners. The company started out in 2003 as a home-based transport business with the acquisition of one medium sized truck, initially transporting goods for Nakara from Windhoek to Cape Town. The absence of any major contracts have inspired the owners to put in a lot more effort to achieve their goals and within a few years they opened a depot in Cape Town to accommodate and efficiently handle the increased loads on the Trans - Oranje Corridor (Whk - CT). The Windhoek – Johannesburg (Trans - Kalahari Corridor) was conquered subsequently and since then the company has grown significantly and also had to open a depot in Johannesburg. After attaining this milestone, they had to increase their fleet of trucks, which currently consists of eleven 34 ton trucks (interlinks) with various smaller delivery trucks and pickups. Business was booming and they had to relocate from Windhoek to Brakwater (±18 km north of Windhoek on the B1 highway) in search of a larger premises to accom-
modate its operations. SBS Trucking recently purchased this plot (Plot 48) from the owner. They offer a bi-weekly service from Johannesburg and Cape Town (Tuesdays and Fridays) and now also an overnight road freight service between Windhoek and the central and northern coastal town of Namibia. The transport company caters for the transportation of, amongst other, household and electronic goods, foodstuff, industrial goods, printing, stationery, glass, parts and much more. Customers of SBS Truc-
king can also rest assured that their goods are in safe hands, as the company's rates include freight insurance of up to N$2 million per load. Furthermore, all their vehicles are fully equipped with satellite tracking devices for real time tracking. From its humble beginnings in 2003, it is clear that this company is certainly on its way to the top and busy accomplishing their vision to become one of the recognised leaders in Namibia's transport industry for long and short distance trucking.

Die beiden sind am Montag voller Aufregung über Johannesburg und London nach Los Angeles geflogen, um zuerst einmal den Walk of Fame und andere Sehenswürdigkeiten in LA zu besuchen. Anschließend nehmen sie an einem Boot-Camp teil, wo sie einen ganzen Tag lang von Experten intensivst geschult werden.

Itta Steinsträtter führt ihren Jazzund Quinton Jakobs seinen Zeitgenössischen Tanz f ü r d i e We l t meisterschaften in Los Angeles vor. 3.Könntet ihr euch das Tanzen als Beruf vorstellen? Itta: ,,Es könnte eine Option sein, aber ich weiss nicht, ob ich die Nerven dazu hätte.” Quinton: ,,Ich könnte es mir vorstellen. Dort, wo ich lebte, hatte ich keine Gelegenheit. Es ist einfach ein irres Gefühl, auf der Bühne zu tanzen.” 4. Was ist eure größte Furcht vor der WM? Itta: ,,Ich habe etwas Angst vor den Leuten dort, wie sie dich behandeln werden. Auch vor dem Luxus dort. Und dann vor dem Ungewissen. Man weiss nicht, was einen erwartet.” Quinton: ,,Die Meinung oder das Auftreten anderer Menschen sollte einen nicht aus dem Konzept bringen. Ich denke, es ist wichtig, dass man sich selbst in dem Konsum nicht verliert, dass man nicht vergisst, worum es bei der WM geht. Das heißt: Genieße, aber in Maßen! 5. Was bedeutet euch das Tanzen? Itta: ,,Das Zitat ,,Tanzen ist wie Träumen auf Füßen” sagt es eigentlich am besten. Natürlich ist Tanzen auch mit Schmerzen verbunden, aber beim Tanzen vergesse ich alles um mich herum.” Quinton: ,,Natürlich bedeutet Tanzen auch Disziplin, aber wenn man dann am Tanzen ist, vergisst man alles Negative im Leben, denn das einzige, was zählt, ist der Tanz. Tanzen ist eine Welt für sich, die mir so viel Freude bringt.”
Worte der Woche
Nichts lockt die Fröhlichkeit mehr an als die Lebenslust. Ernst Ferstl Mit Kummer kann man allein fertig werden, aber um sich aus vollem Herzen freuen zu können, muss man die Freude teilen. Mark Twain Wir streben mehr danach, Schmerz zu vermeiden als Freude zu gewinnen. Sigmund Freud Man muss immer etwas haben, worauf man sich freut. Eduard Mörike Der Engländer liebt das Gefühl, dass er über sich selbst lachen kann. Er tut das aber nur, um den andern die Freude zu nehmen, über ihn zu lachen. Peter Ustinov Wenn man erfolgreich ist, dann überschlagen sich die Freunde, aber erst wenn man einen Misserfolg hat, dann freuen sie sich wirklich. Harry S. Truman Optimisten haben gar keine Ahnung von den freudigen Überraschungen, die Pessimisten erleben. Peter Bamm Es gibt überall Blumen für den, der sie sehen will.

Greece has stolen the limelight for the month of June. Interest rate cuts out of China and positive wage developments in the United States (US) have been widely ignored as Greece failed to pay its debt instalment of 1.5 billion euros to the European Central Bank (ECB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The Greeks are in dire straits as capital controls have been put in place, i.e. banks have been closed and withdrawals to citizens l i m i t e d . H o w e v e r, Prime Minister Tsipras, and his people are resistant to accepting further aid at the cost of more austerity for the Greek nation. Therefore a 'Grexit'

Honda HR-V: The all-new urban crossover
An all-new urban crossover joins the Honda product line-up in South Africa this month. Previewed at this year's Geneva Motor Show, the new Honda HR-V's arrival in local showrooms coincides with its European debut, and promises to shake up the
crossover segment in SA. While most contenders in this segment reflect a scaled-down SUV approach,
the new Honda HR-V combines the sleek aesthetics of a coupĂŠ-inspired design with the rugged attitude of a sports utility vehicle, and the space and versatility of a
0814515649
MPV. The result is a unique offering in a highly competitive segment. At the same time, the HR-V retains all the coveted hallmarks of the Honda brand, including innovation, tactile quality, reassuring safety and an engaging motoring experience. DESIGN The all-new HR-V has a highly individual exterior design, thanks to the pronounced curve of the roofline, which creates a unique, coupĂŠ-like impression. However, the short overhangs, raised stance and wide tracks reflect the rugged attitude typical of a SUV. INTERIOR Despite its compact footprint, the HR-V looks
and feels spacious inside. The interior execution focuses on intelligent packaging to deliver a spacious front and rear cabin, while the luggage compartment offers generous stowage space. COMPREHENSIVE S TA N D A R D F E A TURES The new HR-V offers an extensive list of comfort and convenience equipment across the twomodel range. Highlights include electrically operated windows and mirrors, remote central locking, air-conditioning, cruise control, a multifunction steering wheel and a multi-information trip computer. DRIVETRAIN AND CHASSIS
The new Honda HR-V is available with a choice of two efficient petrol engines, both linked to a newgeneration, Earth Dreams technology Constantly Variable Transmission (CVT). Regardless of engine, drive is to the front wheels. MODEL RANGE The locally available Honda HR-V range consists of two models, with the 1.5 Comfort variant on offer initially. The 1.8 Elegance offers all the standard features of its 1.5 Comfort stablemate but augments the list with some additional upgrades. These include larger alloy wheels, and auto-activating LED headlights with daytime running lights.

Rossmund Golf Club News
Dennis Haimbondi and André Barnard (Sanlam) Well finally the eastwind has arrived - I must say a welcome change from the cold we have been having. Fortunately not much sand around but the wind is blowing. Wednesday 1 July, despite the chilly
weather there was a good turnout of golfers the sponsor was A g g r e k k o ( Wa r r e n Theron). The winner
over 18 holes was decided on a countout, Martin Angula over Bertie Saunderson 39pts. The 9 holes also decided on a countout Athol McLean over Fritz Coetzee 20pts. Saturday 4 July we played the Rossmund Leg of the 2015 Sanlam Cancer Challenge - it was great to see the players turn out to support this initiative - a total of 50 players took, to the fairways. André Barnard and André Fourie were there to represent the sponsor and join in the day together with Joggie van Schalkwyk and Attie Esterhuizen. During the prize-giving ceremony we had a few items up
for auction which helped to increase the day’s donation. There were 3 x 2-clubs - Chris Heunis on No.3; Johny Flook and Sigi Baumgartner on No.16. Nearest to the pin prizes went to - Sonny Ndalumbumo No.7 and Tienie van Rensburg on No.12. The winners to represent Rossmund in the finals on 22 August at Omeya GC are as follows: "A" Div: Dennis Haimbondi 39pts; Runner-up: Joggie van Schalkwyk 36pts (c/o). "B" Div: Bertie Saunderson 42pts; Runnerup: Thomas Shitaleni 40pts. "C" Div: Werner Borg 34pts; Runner-up: Clive Lawrence 33pts (c/o). Ladies: "A" Div: Caro Els and "C" Div: Lynne van der Walt.
Thanks to all the players for their support and a big thank you to Sanlam for going the extra mile for a very worthy cause. Tomorrow and Sunday will be the annual Marsh Namibia Club Championships. Please take note of the changes in format etc. This has been introduced to give all the members a chance to take part - so we are hoping for a big field. 18 holes Saturday/18 holes Sunday for all Divisions/Formats. Medal Format Handicaps "A" Div: < 9; "B" Div: 10 - 16; "C" Div: 17 - >. Stableford Format - handicaps 17 and above only - this has been introduced for players who feel they do not want to play medal
Caro Els and André Barnard (Sanlam) anymore "What kind of a player is Johnny Bean?" asked one member of his caddie on the day before the competition. "Hopeless. He slices, goes into
every bunker. He thinks the only way to the hole is via the rough". "That's great news" said the member. " Not r e a l l y, s i r. H e ' l l probably still beat you."

Last year I qualified for the 2015 FEI in Bulgaria.” Michelle wants to ride in a world cup over seas or become an Olympic rider. “Finan cially I am held back, because it is not easy coming from a small country. A big thank you goes to all the sponsors and support. Thank you for believing in me.”
Walvis Bay Golf News Fifty-six players lined up last Saturday for the Multisave better ball. Good weather greeted the players and only the last few hands had to play in a bit of a cold wind late afternoon.
The super rugby is over with no cigar for South African teams and now the World Cup awaits, wonder who are we supporting this time around with the many changes in South African rugby. I guess, no rugby on TV results in a good field of players on the golf course.
Herman Neethling does not play a lot of golf, but last Saturday everything came together for him. He played a 76, with 49 points from a 17 handicap! Sjoe, that is great golf, or maybe luck. His partner and playing partners certainly just looked on as he was collecting points faster
than packman could run. André Burger is still waiting for his first win on course in over a year. Second place for him by one point. Hard luck André. 1st Herman Neethling & Kevin de Reuck 51 points 2nd Andre Burger & Cailene von der Fecht

Meet Ruben Soroseb Bernabé Blauw
Members of the Paralympic Committee will visit Walvis Bay this weekend to introduce the local Paralympic athletes to the coastal community. Ruben is currently hard at work to be in top condition for his participation at the All-Africa Games in September in Brazzaville, Congo and the 2015 IPC
Athletics World Championships in Doha, Qatar, in October. The committee will host a promotion at the Pick n Pay shopping centre
on Saturday, which will take place in the form of a bench press competition, organised by Will’s Gym. The organisers invite all
members of the community to register for the bench press competition or simply to come and support the event which starts at 9:30.
Namibia Paralympic Committee to tour Namibian towns
The Namibia Paralympic Committee (NPC) is embarking on an athlete’s promotional tour in three Namibian towns from the month of July. Seven athletes who qualified for the 2015 Doha Games will form part of the tour. The towns that athletes will be visiting during their promotional campaign are Walvis Bay, Oshakati and Windhoek.

The athletes who have qualified for the 2015 Doha Games are Johanna Benson Lahja Ishitile, Johannes Nambala, Elias Ndimulunde, Rosa Manjoro, Ananias Shikongo, and Martin Aloysius. The aim of the promotional tour is to sensitise and educate the Namibian nation about para-athletes and what it takes to be one. Doha will stage the last major gathering of international top athletes before the Rio 2016
Paralympic Games. The 2015 International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Athletics World Championships is expected to attract around 1 300 of the world’s best athletes from 90 countries and will take place from October to November 2015. Speaking at a media conference held by the NPC here on Monday, NPC Secretary General (SG), Michael Hamukwaya called on corporate companies and the public to come to the events that
will be held in the different towns and meet the athletes who will fly the Namibian flag high at the world championships. “We want the Namibian nation to be sensitised on what para-athletes are all about. In most cases, people only read about these athletes in papers or hear on the radio but they don’t understand what it takes to be a disabled athlete. “We are now embarking on a promotional campaign to take these athletes to schools, shopping
malls and allow them to speak to the people on what they go through on a daily basis as a disabled athlete, plus we want to allow the corporate world to understand what disabled athletes go through if they are to sponsor them,” said Hamukwaya. Walvis Bay has been confirmed as the first town that the athletes will visit from 9 to 12 July. Dates for Windhoek and Oshakati will be confirmed later this month. NAMPA
