Anti-Corrupton Commission hits Walvis Bay municipality The municipality of Walvis Bay is on the radar of the Anti-Corruption Commission of Namibia (ACC) once more.

Namdock, a wholly Namibian-owned entity with its shareholding held entirely by Namport, and the EBH Consortium, is a great source of pride to Walvis Bay. Operating three floating docks as well as a massive land-based ship repair operation, the business strives to position Walvis Bay as preferred ship repair hub for the West African offshore oil- and gas industry.

Major road safety Centre for Arandis Arandis will soon host a fully functional emergency response and road traffic management centre. The centre, officially known as the Arandis Emergency Response and Traffic Management Centre (AERTMC), is now under construction at a total price tag of N$127 million.

The ground-breaking ceremony took place at Arandis recently and will play a revolutionary role for road safety between Swakopmund and Usakos, some 140km east of the holiday town.

Studies show the most accidents on the B2 highway occurs within a radius close to Arandis, in both directions to Swakopmund and Usakos.

The Arandis Town Council, in conjunction with the National Road Safety Council and Erongo Regional Council, took action and soon the idea was born of AERTMC. Once completed, AERTMC will form the backbone of a traffic safety network along the B2 highway between Swakopmund and Usakos. That would include close circuit television along the route, permanently placed speed cameras, hi-tech devices that can weigh vehicles on the move, as well as electronic information signs that warns motorists on traffic hazards ahead.

The Centre will also be the pivot for first responders to accident scenes and to transport the injured to medical facilities within shorter response times.

The Deputy Minister of Works and Transport, Veikko Nekundi, during the ground-breaking said road safety remains one of the major concerns of the Namibian Government. Road accidents cost several hundred lives every year. It leaves survivors of accidents often handicapped afterwards or people requires extended periods to recover from injuries. It comes at a huge cost. It deprives people of their loved ones and it robs the country of productive people.

“Contemporary records show that on average we lose about 600 lives per year to road accidents. This translates into about 27 lives per hundred thousand inhabitants. As a small country, in terms of demographics, this is a figure our economy cannot afford in perpetuity”, explained Nekundi.

According to Nekunde the B2 road that stretch from Arandis to Usakos or Arandis to Swakopmund has been a thorn in the flesh for years and many people have succumbed to injuries sustained in road accidents while being transported for medical treatment.

“This part of the road contains sections that are commonly referred to as blackspots. These are section that characterised by high frequencies of high velocity and high impact crashes. Two of these are situated around ten KM east and 30 KM west of Arandis” Nekunde added.

Nekunde added: “You will agree with me that this is a huge milestone in the country's road safety history. Looking back, the Arandis Town Council in 2016 formally invited the National Road Safety Council of Namibia to consider partnering with them in the development and management of its envisaged emergency centre. Hence, I am delighted to state that this initiative has finally become a reality”.

“I call upon all, particularly those tasked with the responsibility to implement public projects on which the lives of our people depend, to do so with a sense of urgency” Nekunde said.

Nekunde concluded the centre would ensure peace of mind to all motorists using the road, as it will be monitored 24/7, in order to try and prevent accidents from occurring, render improved emergency response and ensure road user compliance through use of new state-of-the-art technology.

Corruption destroyed public’s trust in Walvis Bay municipality - AR The Affirmative Reposition (AR) movement in a statement on Wednesday said the municipality of Walvis Bay’s poor state of affairs can mostly be laid at the doorstep of corruption.

The public statement follows after the Anti-Corruption Commission of Namibia on the same day confiscated computers and other data storage devices of three prominent officials, as part of yet another investigation into corruption at the local authority.

AR says corruption in the municipality is perpetuated by officials who compromised their positions of trust to serve self-interest and serve the self-interest and greed of individuals in the private sector.

The state of affairs led to the erosion of the public of Walvis Bay’s trust.

Ruling coalition Continued from page 1 tionalising the matter or to use the matter for political revenge.

“Let the matter take its course. In the meantime, let us call upon every official in the municipality of Walvis Bay to join hands with the new town council. Let us clear our municipality of corruption, nepotism, and inefficiency. Let us work for the good of every citizen and not only for certain people”, these stakeholders summed it up.

Karibib is a town with a rich history and an equally promising future. This is part of the town's endeavours to make it more attractive and signals our tripartite commitment to planting deep roots into the socio-economic development of the town.

The town is also working towards economic growth, aided by the entrance of new industries as well as the mine's expansion plans.

George Botshiwe, the Managing Director of Navachab Gold Mine said the trees chosen for this purpose represents the people of Karibib. “It is a tough, hardy battler which can stand up to wind, sun and dry soil – pretty much like the people of Karibib – resilient and motivated. And we look forward to a long journey with the Karibib family on a path of new prosperity and growth.”

The twenty trees were sponsored by the local Woermann Brock dealership.

Press Release:

Namdock's facilities and capabilities are truly 'shipshape'!

As a wholly Namibian-owned entity with its shareholding held entirely by Namport, and the EBH Consortium — a group comprising prominent Namibian business leaders — Namdock is a recognised leader in the West African ship repair market and offshore oil and gas sector. Favourably located in the natural harbour of Walvis Bay, Namibia, on the west coast of Africa, Namdock is perfectly positioned to become the preferred marine repair partner in the region, and internationally.

To this end, Namdock aims to build on its regional and international expertise and experience, illustrating its diverse capabilities, along with its solid track record of customer service excellence.

Namdock's Acting CEO Heritha Nankole Muyoba, points out that Namibia is recognised for its stable and ethical political landscape, enjoying a supportive, businessfriendly environment, which is reflected in Namdock's values, namely those of trust, excellence and integrity, ensuring only the highest quality standards and -protocols

are followed.

Namdock has highly skilled and qualified professionals who can compete on an international level, with experience in an extensive variety of disciplines: from rigging, piping and coating to fabrication, carpentry, electrical and propulsion, she points out.

While the company retains its status as a leader in the West African ship repair arena, in addition, through its upto-date, fully-equipped facilities and expertise, Namdock serves many local and international shipping, oil and gas, mining and engineering clients.

“While its floating docks

and ship repair amenities form a significant part of Namdock's revenue, we are also diversifying our focus to include landbased industries such as the West African mining industries and general engineering, as the company is ideally pos itioned geographically to further enhance its effectiveness by fabricating locally and shipping products to North and West Africa. In these sectors, we are therefore developing a growing reputation in the engineering and fabrication sectors, with our hightech, state-of-the-art facilities and highly skilled welding teams,” Namdock Marketing Manager, Quintin Simon

points out.

“As Namibia's largest engineering company, with significant expertise in heavy engineering, we can also do fabrication of oil and gas sub-sea structures; as well as mining structures for local and international clients at our Walvis Bay facilities,” he says, adding that Namdock is exceptionally proud of its dockside facilities.

These world-class facilities include three floating dry docks: Namdock 1, with a lifting capacity of 8,000 tons; Namdock 2 with a lifting capacity of 6,500 tons and the Panamax-sized Namdock 3 with the lifting capacity of 15,000 tons.

“We also have fully-

equipped workshops for undertaking a wide range of marine repair, engineering and maintenance projects; and, because Namdock is closely aligned to Namport which oversees the port of Walvis Bay - we have access to Namport's synchrolift and quayside berthing services. These can accommodate vessels up to 2 000 tons, with a displacement of 80m in length and 12m in width overall,” Simon explains.

The synchro lift area has four 80m repair quays of 8m draft, used for alongside-pier repairs and maintenance, he adds.

“As a country, Namibia is intensely focused on driving commercial selfsufficiency and development, and Namdock embodies this spirit of independence and agility in our ability to procure spares quickly and efficiently, reducing turnaround times from the average month or so for a major component, to having similar components on the dockside within three to four days,” Simon explains.

“In fact, overall, Namdock has reduced the average turnaround time for ship repairs from 16 days to a tremendously impressive 12-day average,” he comments.

“Through engaging in smart partnerships, we pride ourselves in offering a unique and superior, customer experience,” adds NankoleMuyoba.

“We aim to be the best when it comes to facilities, to also to have the best processes, premium management practices and the finest digital integration. While our quick turnaround times also stand us in excellent stead, Namdock is driven

by the ISO 9004 standard and we are also looking at improving our sufficiency by integrating several systems, exploring new technologies, enhancing our training and development and upskilling our most important resource, our people,” she says.

This concern for the people overflows into the company's corporate social responsibility and Nankole Muyoba, adds, “As employers of a large and long-serving local workforce, we are tremendously concerned by the effects and consequences of the pandemic on the local community.”

She points out that before the initial start of the Covid-19 nationwide lockdown in 2020, Namdock introduced company-wide influenza vaccinations, and distributed sanitisation packs to the workforce.

“Prior to the resumption of full operations, the company provided wideranging training on the prevention of Covid-19 infection transmission; and, subsequently, we have also established a two-shift process to further observe social and physical distancing regulations,” she advises. “ We a r e i n d e e d extremely quality and safety-focused,” Simon assures, and points out that Namdock's facilities are operated by a highly skilled workforce which is trained to international standards, with employee, contractor and client safety top-of-mind.

“Even during a pandemic — while following stringent sanitisation protocols — because of our excellent geographical location, outstanding facilities, skills

and extensive expertise, work and operations have continued safely,” he says.

“We are able to fabricate and ship large, complex structures to site anywhere along the West African coast, and commission them into successful operation,” he notes and describes how Namdock recently handled a project for Oceaneering — a company involved in oilfield, aerospace, material handling, defence, renewable energy, and research applications, among others.

“The project involved approximately 120 tonnes of sub-sea structure that was shipped to Angola, safely and efficient, during height of the Covid-19 pandemic,” he says, explaining that this was only possible through Namdock's world-class project management capabilities, along with the most advanced and certified fabrication expertise.

Simon emphasises that Namdock's service offering is customercentric, with processes and procedures which are aligned with the best international standards and measures, all geared to enhance the client experience.

“We do not want to be the best in West Africa: we want to compete internationally, and be the best in the world!” he states.

“It is our vast pool of loyal, repeat clients which keeps Namdock afloat – for which we are immensely grateful and it is our inimitable customer service and people focus that keeps them coming back,” he concludes.

Mayor's Festive Season message Although this festive season is not marked by the usual cheer that we are used to, we still need to be grateful that we have come this far. This past year has indeed been an eventful year, characterised by many challenges.

However, our community has been drawn together and stood as one during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our battle with this virus is not over as it remains a constant threat. Let us ensure that we continue to protect ourselves and our loved ones against COVID-19 by practising basic hygiene, social distancing and wearing masks when interacting with others.

I take this opportunity to thank the citizens of Walvis Bay for their support and co-operation during the year, even during difficult times. The cooperation we received especially through donations during the lockdown and the tragic fire incident at Otweya (previously known as Twaloloka) was a true testament of what we can achieve if we join hands. We look forward to your continued support in the future.

This being my first Christmas message as Mayor of our beautiful Walvis Bay, I would like to thank our residents for the opportunity to represent them. We look forward to providing improved quality of services and working

together with various stakeholders and community members to try our best to meet the needs of our residents.

The cooperation displayed by all stakeholders in ensuring that the lives of our citizens become better is appreciated. To our valued employees, working throughout the festive season to ensure that service delivery continues undisturbed for our residents and visitors, we appreciate your commitment.

I call on those who will be travelling to be with their loved ones, to abide by the road safety regulations. Don't drink and drive or text while driving. Stop and rest when you are tired.

Last, but not least, I'd like to bring the point home that the festive season is not only a time of joy and festivity, but also the time of year when we should look out for those who are alone, vulnerable, or without close family ties.

May I ask you all to remember your neighbours at this time of the year, especially the elderly and those who live alone. Let this festive season be characterized by the generosity, love and kindness for those who are less fortunate.

Enjoy your festive season with consideration for others and the environment.

On behalf of all of all councillors and municipal staff, I would like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2021.

6 Ways to Avoid Overspending this Season 2 December 2020: As the holiday cheer takes hold, we're bound to be tempted to spend more than we should, but having fun shouldn't mean overspending.

Budgets may seem restrictive and not part of the festive picture you have for your holiday, but ultimately, they're tools to help you live better. 'We know that consumers spent more on their credit cards in December than any other month of the year – most of it on luxury goods and entertainment.

Whether you're staying home or going away, if you're not keeping an eye on your expenses, overboard is where you're headed' says Elzita Beukes, FNB Communications Manager.

Here are 6 ways to avoid overspending this holiday: 1. Don't leave money lying around (over and above what you've budgeted) in your bank account. Move any additional cash into your investment account or savings pocket – that way you won't accidently spend it and you can move it back when January comes knocking.

2. Avoid lengthy trips to the mall.

Between all the specials and holiday jingles, it's very easy to open your wallet. 'Do your festive season shopping alone and stick to your list,' suggests Beukes. This will give you less reason to be distracted from your task.

3. Limit convenience spending.

The holidays throw us out of our normal routine. With a festive atmosphere at home, activities to plan and social gatherings, ordering takeaways might seem like a good idea – but it's not good for your waist

or your wallet.

4. Rethink gifts.

Presents should never be the reason you don't stick to your budget or go into debt.

Spend time thinking about how to give meaningful gifts

rather than the latest and greatest that cost a fortune. 'If your child is set on an expensive toy, electronic device or item of clothing, rather than giving in and purchasing it, sit down with them and

make a plan that they can work towards in the New Year,' Beukes advises.

5. Self-gifting is easy to do over the holidays. Limit the 'presents' you buy for

yourself while out shopping.

6. Ask guests to contribute a dish for social gatherings so you don't end up footing the bill alone.

Remember to adhere

to COVID precautions, keeping gatherings small and weaing your mask at all times.

Beukes's final advice: 'Remember there is a festive season

every single year. If you realise that having fun doesn't necessarily mean spending money you don't have, you will be more financially secure going into 2021.'

New Era for Walvis Bay Yacht Club

The bar at the Walvis Bay Yacht Club has recently been renamed the Oskar (Oswald) Krauer Bar (now referred to as the “OK Bar�).

Otto Krauer, a committee member at the time, took it on himself to construct the yacht club's very first bar in the early 1960's.

A function took place on 24 November to officiate the OK Bar. At the same time, the Walvis Bay Yacht Club also officially unveiled its revamped interior, which was a task left to the energy and innovation of John and Katja Lund.

The Walvis Bay Yacht Club was Commissioned in March 1965. The Club soon took its place among locals and visitors as a prime seaside retreat. The original main building was relocated from the harbour to the current location in 1963, followed by the construction of the bridge in August of the same year, and the completed Rotunda in 1967. The original Oskar Krauer bar was extended in the latter half of the 1990's/early 2000's.

Thanks to successive Yacht Club Committees, led by their respective Commodores, the Walvis Bay Yacht

Club today remains one of the favourite seaside retreats in Walvis Bay. The current serving Commodore, Theo Schoeman, in his keynote address during the inauguration function admitted there were years where the Yacht Club experienced low points. Partly as a result of financial mismanagement and also members who preferred to maintain the club as personal domains, instead of promoting its status as a facility that can be enjoyed by all residents and visitors.

The opening function was well attended by locals, and the presence was also observed of Namport's newly appointed Chief Executive Officer, Mr Andrew Kanime.

Several former Commodores were also present.

The OK Bar and the rest of the amenities and features added to the Walvis Bay Yacht Club truly makes it a place not to be missed. With the pleasant summer weather approaching, and the festive season waiting around the corner, see you at the OK Bar.

Langstrand residents met at the entrance of Extension 2, on Saturday morning, 28 November for a Dunes Clean-up day. After a morning of cleaning up the dunes, residents came together on the beach between the Tidal Pools and Dolfynstrand for a braai on the beach.

The Dune Clean-up was organised by Langstrand Neighborhood Watch who thanks the community for attending and helping. The morning brought in approximately 140 big bags of rubbish.

The Langstrand Neighborhood Watch would like to thank Guan's Packaging for the refuse bags and boxes, Namibia Breweries for the water, Hangana, for the ice to keep the water cool, Thomas Wolf Rental Support Services for the skips, Louis Taljaard for N$500 and MC Smidt Tuindienste for the N$1 000 sponsor. A thank you also goes out to Namibian Lubricants for the 3 large drums, Yeti Cool Panels for the toilets, BBS for the gloves and Anesca and Sandpiper Dunes for the extra crew.

Swakopmund Mayor's Christmas Message First and foremost, on behalf of the Swakopmund Council they are safe and sound and my own behalf, I hereby wish all the residents and d u r i n g t h e e n t i r e season. The Namibian visitors of our town, a blessed and jovial festive season.

We can all attest that this year has been an extreme challenge for most of us with the surfacing of the COVID-19 pandemic. This took us all by shock as most people were unable to travel and visit the coastal towns and around the country; jobs and income was cut and sadly, lives were lost as a result of this pandemic.

However, despite the negative impact which resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic, the response from our community members was extremely remarkable as we showed the culture of standing together and being there for one another. This was one of my key take away lessons in this pandemic that we can strive to combat, not only the pandemic but any challenge

that comes our way, if we do it in unison and solidarity. My hope is that we continue to stand in unity regardless of any circumstances that we may be faced with.

I know the tourism industry has been affected enormously due to the state of emergency and subsequent lockdown as a consequence of the corona virus.

Fortunately, we are now able to travel and we extend a warm welcome to our visitors to come and explore the beauty that Swakopmund has to offer.

Please continue to maintain the social distance, sanitise your hands and wear your face masks when in social gatherings.

Dear residents and visitors, Swakopmund has been one of the most preferred holiday destinations as visitors from all walks of life visit

our town. The influx of tourists has great benefits especially for the tourism industry as it advances our economy and I hope this will help some of the businesses to recover their losses very fast.

As usual, we promise our visitors a fun filled experience in our town.

This year, we will be having various activities such as the annual Swakopmund Fair, the golf day, the Nedbank desert dash and food festival just to name a few. In addition, Swakopmund offers a variety of activities ranging from quad biking in the dunes, go-karting, sky diving, boat cruising, fishing, sand boarding, camel riding and many more other exciting activities.

Furthermore, we would like to reassure our visitors of their safety as we have put in place measures to ensure

Police, the community liaison police as well as our own Emergency response team will be working tirelessly during this season.

Council recently launched a toll free number and we would like to urge all our visitors to make use of the number when in need.

The toll free number is 064 0800 410 410.

Please remain vigilant and keep safe at all times.

I would also like to emphasise the behaviour of our drivers on the road and call on all drivers to avoid driving under the influence of alcohol as that has been one of the key contributors to road accidents.

During festive season, let us continue to adhere to the legal and safety regulations in order to save our lives

and that of our loved ones.

The festive season is a time for great joy as we celebrate the birth of the Christ child, Jesus; it is a period where we are expected to spend quality time with our family, friends and loved ones. It may be a time for healing and renewed strength. It should thus be regarded as a sacred time therefore, let us be a blessing unto others and extend love and be jovial and in our celebrations and let us cherish the Creator.

However, many are saddened at Christmas time when they think of their loved ones who will not be able to come home for various reasons, some have passed on or some are in hospital due to illnesses or injuries and thus making it difficult for families to be merry during this time. But I hope that you will find comfort and peace in

Cllr Louisa Kativa the Lord.

I pray that our almighty creator will heal those who may be sick at home or in hospital during this Christmas. I pray for comfort and peace for the elderly who are at different old age homes. In the same vein, I would like to express my sincere condolences to the families of those who have departed from us.

I wish you strength and peace during this festive season as you think of your loved ones.

May you find strength in the Lord.

Once again, please allow me, on behalf of the entire residents of Swakopmund, to express our gratitude to the visitors for choosing our town as their preferred holiday destination.

We would like to reassure you all a peaceful and an enjoyable stay in Swakopmund.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous 2021.

Thank you.

Her Worship, Cllr Louisa Kativa

Andy’s is coming to town Affordable fresh seafood, sushi, a great wine list and a cosy and rustic atmosphere. If that is what you look for in a culinary experience, the newly opened Andy's Sushi, Oyster and Fine Seafood Restaurant is the answer.

Situated on one of Daniel Tjongarero Avenue's busiest pedestrian walkways (next to Slow Town), Andy's Sushi, Oyster and Fine Seafood Restaurant is the first of its kind and expected to become an instant hit among locals and visitors to Swakopmund.

Sit down to a glass of good wine. There is a wide variety of dishes to choose from the menu.

The restaurant can cater for up to 50 people and the seating arrangement gives it a cosy atmosphere. Seated inside, guests can see into the open kitchen where the food is prepared.

Outside on the pergola you can be seated protected from the wind and literally see the world passing by only meters away.

Andrew Campbell Thomson, the owner, is very excited and upbeat about his new restaurant. He saw an opportunity for such business on this busy walkway. The area is frequented by tourists and locals alike as it is halfway between the central business district and the Mole.

Thomson believes there is a definite space in the market for affordable, quality seafood and sushi. He is positive that people will support his business and is passionate to have guests become regulars.

Early Christmas Gifts from the Junior Town Council The Junior Town Council donated about 180 Christmas Gift packages to children living in Mondesa and DRC. The Santa shoe box is an annual project on the Junior Town Council calendar that is aimed towards assisting the less privileged children, especially during the festive season, by providing them with basic necessities as early Christmas gifts range from clothing, toiletries and toys for the younger children.

They visited two Soup kitchens in DRC as well as the Hanganeni Primary School and Festus Gonteb Primary School and deliver these boxes. The rest of the boxes were distributed to children walking on the streets as surprise give away gifts.

The Junior Town Council hereby wish to acknowledge and extend our gratitude to the Lutheran Church in town, the Nedbank Namibia and vari-

ous stakeholders around Swakopmund who extended their hand towards the project. Your valuable and kind assistance ensured that we put a smile on the faces of these children.

The famous Baden Powel once said; "...But the real way to get happiness is by giving out happiness to other people.

Try and leave this world a little better than you found it and when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best.�

The Junior Town Council wishes the residents of Swakopmund a joyous festive season.

We wish all our esteemed clients and business Associates a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous 2021.

Please remember to wear your mask when in public places.

Keep your social distance and sanitise your hands.

Stay safe this festive season.

Mayor of Henties Christmas message Dear Residents and Visitors

Christmas is upon us and we prepare to celebrate this special time of the year with our friends and family.

Tourism Centre Henties Bay Do you want to do some serious angling? Then Henties Bay is just the place.

From here you can either go north or south, depending on where the fish are at the day. The beaches are open and accessible to fishermen with 4×4’s.

Remember, no angling is allowed within the borders of the Cape Cross Seal Reserve!

Well-known angling spots with names like Bennie se rooi lorrie, Popeye, Sarah se gat, Canopy, Blare and many more, are not marked but maps with GPS coordinates are available at the Tourist Information Office.

The traditional months for rock and surf angling are from the end of January to April, but serious fishermen believe that you have a good chance right through the year.

Merry Christmas & Prosperous 2021.

But here we are, nearing the end of 2020 and we are thankful for every healthy person, for every good gift we received and for every one of you that are able to enjoy your holidays in Henties Bay, despite what you may have been through to make it a reality.

May you fully enjoy all we can offer to make your visit and festivities memorable, but may we ask that you do so with increased love and respect for our environment and for each other.

Like any other community we have rules to keep this wonderful town of us running smoothly and without trauma and tragedy, therefore I beg of you to adhere thereto with great responsibility.

May we keep in mind the less fortunate and extend a loving and helping hand wherever possible. To all Henties Bay and to all our visitors, God bless you and I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Duane Sander and Morné Roux shared first place with Ben Louw and Tangeni. Second place went to Chris and Estelle Bothma and Frans and Justine Grobler were in third place. The final prize went to Rocco Viljoen and Piet van Niekerk.

The best golf on the day was won by a lucky draw.

That went to André Burger, who has slipped into a habit of winning lucky draws. But you know: 'n blinde hoender pik ook raak so hier en daar haha!

Dewald was there to hand out the prizes. On the photo he is sharing a laugh with Morné Roux, Pieter Fox, Dewald Els and Duane Saunders.

WBGC thank Dewald Els and his team from Indongo Toyota for another year of sponsoring our club. It is highly appreciated and the club also thank Cindy and her team for the lunch of the day.

Pupkewitz Foundation Open Athletics Championships Swakop Striders Athletic Club in conjunction with the Pupkewitz Foundation as the main sponsor will host the Open Athletics Championships on 22 December at the Vinita Sport field (next to the Dome) in Swakopmund.

The Open Athletics Championships originated a few years ago to attract professional athletes and coaches to the coastal town of Swakopmund and to give young and amateur athletes an opportunity to rub shoulders with well-known world class athletes.

Organiser of the event, a well-known high jump coach from Swakopmund, Hennie Horn said this year's event will probably be the best ever with two-time Olympian, Mosito Lehata from Lesotho as well as Namibia's new athletic star Beatrice Masilingi who is the fastest under 18 in the world and a few athletes from Zimbabwe and about 20 from South Africa and some of the best athletes from Namibia will be in action to compete for a podium position.

Horn said “The championships are open for athletes from the age of seven to seniors. This year we will have a few athletes from Zimbabwe, Lesotho and about 20 from South Africa that will compete against the best athletes from Namibia for a podium position.”

According to Horn more than 100 entries were received within the first three days after the opening of entries for the event and they are still expecting between 150 and 200 athletes.

Unlike previous years, there will be no entry fees, says the organizer, Hennie Horn.

"We know people are suffering due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and we want to make entries as easy and convenient as possible for young athletes and their parents. Therefore, entries for the event will be free for all”, Horn said.

We are still in need of volunteers that would like to help on the event for a minimum fee and a meal/water/cool drink. All interested can contact Hennie Horn via WhatsApp at 0812939987.

Horn said for more information contact him at hennie. horn@nimt.edu.na and that entries are still open and can be done online at www.trackandfieldcompetitions.com.
