blem is that people do not adhere to the rules of the road in this country and at the end of the day we lose lives due to accidents that occur on the roads.

My advice to the travellers is, please drive safely and come home safely but please be warned that we will be on the road.

Share it with everyone and I believe it will help you to reach your destination safely.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

this corridor Botswana will be able to compete fairly and benefit,” he said. Mr Fitt explained that his ministry was trying to facilitate transportation and the development of the corridors as part of that process. Fitt said that the corridor speeds up transportation of goods and makes trade cheaper for people. He added that the TKC brings in goods and infrastructure and therefore stimulates the economy. “It also gives a backbone to the connectivity of Information Communication Technology,” he said, adding that the corridor is a huge game changer in the transport and logistics sector. The PS however raised concern that Botswana has

little railway line which runs through Francistown. He said his ministry is establishing a railway line that connects to Kazungula Bridge in Kasane in an effort to inject trade with neighbouring countries.

Echoing the sentiment for economic growth in her area, the Mayor of Francistown, Her Worship, Sylvia Muzila, spoke of Francistown City Council (FCC)'s quest to transform the second city into an investment hub by 2022 and encouraged entrepreneurs to take up the opportunities presented by having such a vital trade route running through their city.

In their presentations, the Trans Ka-

lahari Corridor Secretariat, Namport, Sea Rail and Botswana Chamber of Mines shared vital intel with the session delegates that could prove very useful in their business ventures. The role of the TKCS is to continue feeding on how to improve trade facilitation along the Trans Kalahari corridor. The WBCG's focus is on Business Development and linking potential customers via Namibia to Botswana. Botswana Railways as the owner and manager of the Botswana Dry Port is looking at how to convince customers in Botswana to optimise the utilisation of the TKCS route.

Moratorium has been placed on the use of the B2 coastal road for the duration of the holiday season for all heavy trucks and truck and trailer combinations, as well as all other two and three axels above five tonnes.

The Trunk Road B2 (the coastal road connecting Walvis Bay to Swakopmund) has been subjected to severe traffic accidents in the past, especially during the festive season when numerous people want to enjoy the summer holidays with their families at the coast and the number of accidents with fatalities and serious injuries increases dramatically, thus im-

posing a huge burden on the country.

In order to address this problem the Erongo Regional Road Safety Forum (ERRSF), together with the National Road Safety Council, hereby urgently appeals to all stakeholders to make provision for all trucks on the road from Walvis Bay to Swakopmund and vice versa in between 9 December and 15 January 2016 to make

use of the inland route (MR 44, the road behind the dunes), only.

We count on your kind cooperation in this matter of national interest. We also kindly remind you to respect the embargo days for abnormal vehicles which are during that period: all weekends and from 4 December 2015 to 4 January 2016.

Officeconomix burgled

Mavourlene !Gaёs

The shop of office furniture dealer, Officeconomix, was burgled on Tuesday. The incident occurred at around 04:20, branch manager Vierre Roos confirmed. Burglaries at business premises in Walvis Bay remain a real problem.

“Yes they broke in and took one laptop that is valued at about N$12 000. They probably could have stolen more than the laptop, but when the alarm went off, they got a fright and fled,” explained Roos.

Roos said the suspect or suspects forced open a window and Staff discovered there was a burglary when they arrived at work, Tuesday morning.

Finger- and shoe prints were found at the scene, Roos added.

Only weeks earlier, neighbouring Pennypinchers was also victim to burglars. The culprits managed to forced open a door, only to discover they wasted their time as a shop shelf blocked their entry.

Mavourlene !Gaёs An unknown truck driver has once more proved how many heavy vehicle drivers have little, if any respect, for infrastructure or traffic rules in Walvis Bay. A heavy vehicle drove over this information sign earlier this week, leaving it to the town's ratepayer to foot the bill for replacing it. Although only a road sign, the problem is much bigger than this one incident.

At this open space in 10th Rd where the sign was driven over, truck drivers also disregard a sign that prohibits heavy vehicles from parking or overnighting there. The trucks also drive over the pavement at will, as can be seen from tracks on this picture, and that whilst there are two ramps to facilitate entry and exit.

Truck drivers are also overnighting at various

other spots in the harbour town, often in the railway reserve in the industrial area only a few metres from the rail tracks. It is an accident waiting to happen.

Other problems caused by trucks are oil- and fuel pollution when trucks break down in town and are repaired on the streets, a traffic menace as many are parked at spots where it conceals road signs or hinder a clear view of oncoming traffic and the destruction of infrastructure. At the container terminal entry gate at the port of Walvis Bay truck drivers park their trucks in the streets waiting for a turn to enter the terminal area.

Daar is baie kinders wat in die straat ry en nie uitkyk vir motors nie. Daar het 'n kind onlangs in die aand met sy skaatsplank voor my kar ingegly. Gelukkig het ek dit sien kom en daarom kon ek betyds rem trap.

Die probleem is ook die kinders dra geen helmets nie. So baie mense wat werk toe ry met fietse ry sonder helmets, wat 'n oortreding is.

Waarom doen ons verkeersbeamptes niks daaraan nie? Ten spyte daarvan dat daar al daaroor gekla

was.

Wat nog te sê van rolskaatse en skateboards! Ongelukke gebeur en ek glo niemand wil 'n kind trap wat per ongeluk voor 'n kar in gly nie.

Daar is dan ook dié wat geheel en al gladnie in ag neem dat die strate vol motors is nie. Ek het al gesien hoe kinders met rolskaatse en “dirt bikes” eenvoudig net kanse vat en oor die straat voor motors injaag. Kan die ouers nie verantwoordelikheid neem vir hul kinders en vra om nie in die straat te ry nie. Ons verkeersbeamptes behoort dadelik op te tree voordat iemand seerkry of sterf.

Things will never change if we still have the same mentality. What will happen to our kids if we the parents still talk about black and whites....

Damaras and Wamboes and Hereros we are a united country lets mourn the loss of lives irrespective of who or what they have been doing this is our country we should be united as one.

Ons kla so maklik oor Walvisbaai se nat strate en lekkende dakke na die reëntjie Dinsdagoggend. Kom ons gebruik eerder die energie om te bid en te dink aan ons land se vee- en plantboere wat reën dringend nodig het. Ook ons land se dorpe en hoofstad wat ‘n waterkrisis in die gesig staar as dit nie kom reën nie.

- Andersom dink Chris Engels Please people of NAMIBIA we have a very sad and upsetting situation here. God bless the poor lady and her family,R.I.P. AND NOW,i would just like to say, that i stayed in Namibia many years ago. While i lived there i as a white man i was loved by all colours and i had a wonderful life amongst all people of Namibia. Three years ago i was on holiday in Swakopmud and Walvis Bay and i was looked after and treated like a King by all who i met, it was the best holiday ever,,,,,SO PLEASE PEOPLE OF NAMIBA NO MATTER WHAT OR WHO YOU ARE,,,STAND TOGETHER AS ONE PROUD NATION.

The Zip Zap children have performed for presidents and world leaders. They have done twenty-seven international tours and numerous international media showcases.

Kids, who began as six-year-olds swinging from a trapeze tied to a

tree, are now professional performing artists working in Europe and North America.

Young people who grew up on the streets are now skilled and valued artists and technicians in the entertainment and film industries. Best of all, these kids have become teachers themselves.

They are ambassadors and role models for others, demonstrating dramatically to young people and the wider public the possibility of a new way of treating each other. (from the Zip Zap official web page).

World Aids Day Commemorated in Swakopmund -“Know your Status, and Live Pro-actively and Positively” The Directorate of Education, Arts and Culture in Erongo commemorated World Aids Day in Swakopmund, at an event in which all divisions of the directorate participated.

The aim was to raise HIV-AIDS awareness within the Directorate. The slogan for the day: Triple Zero - Zero new HIV infections, Zero discrimination and Zero Aids related deaths.

The event was organised by the Regional Aids Committee of Education, known as R.A.C.E. Senior education officer: prevention and wellness, Emsie Orus, focussed briefly on the origin and significance of

World Aids Day. Many sections within the Directorate performed special items around the theme HIV-AIDS and awareness.

In a touching ceremony called “Counting Losses”, friends, family members and other loved ones were remembered by laying stones, each representing a life lost.

Candles were lit, two red ones for those who have passed on, and two white ones for those living positively with HIV. A highlight of the event was the strong message delivered by the key note speaker, Aids activist Victor Louw of Walvis Bay, who called on people to be pro-active in the quest for Zero new HIV infections, Zero discrimination and Zero Aids related deaths, by knowing their status and sharing the knowledge with their partners and loved ones.

Louw, who has been living positively with HIV for the last 19 years, stressed the danger of re-infection, and put the blame for many problems surrounding HIV-infection and re-infection on men – and tradition.

“Men do not want to use condoms, and often women who want men to practise safe sex have to listen to accusations that they want to 'bewitch' their partners. Be responsible – be honest – know your status, and share it with your partner, and those near to you. To be HIV-positive is not a death sentence – I have been living a very healthy life – I have never been admitted to a hospital – perhaps at birth, but never again. Live positively with HIV, do not die in denial – because if you do not act responsibly and proactively, you will die, and infect your partner. “ Louw shared his life story – he never knew his father – and at 29 the strongly-built Louw with his healthy appetite suddenly started losing weight – not appetite – and knew something was wrong. He went to hospital to be tested for Tuberculosis (TB), but a wise nurse advised him to take “the other” test. At first he refused, but later went back and was diagnosed HIV-positive. He shared the initially

Key Note Speaker - Aids activist Victor Louw - he shared a powerful message lighting candles for those who died and all who are living with HIV-AIDS difficult path of disclosure, and going public – but expressed his joy in living positively and openly and honestly. He told people that they should disclose their status only to those they chose to, but said it was of the utmost importance to share their status with those they love. Louw has been on Antiretroviral medication for years, and he stressed the fact that he does not have AIDS – he is only HIV-positive.

He also called on government to step in where hospitals discharge Aids patients and send them home, and where they suffer immensely until death, because their families do not know how to take care of them, and they are often neglected.

Focussing on the role of the directorate in raising HIV-AIDS awareness, Emsie Orus says they provide HIV prevention knowledge, to help those not infected, to safeguard themselves against HIV-infection and to encourage those infected, to take care of themselves and live positively.

Orus says there are special extra-curricular school programmes in place, called “Window of Hope” (Grade 4 to Grade 7) and “My future is my Choice” (Grade 8) through which they are vigorously

focussing on HIV-prevention, as well as the prevention of teenage pregnancies.

They also identify and train “contact teachers” (often schools' life skills teachers, but sometimes another teacher) at the beginning of the year, who manage these programmes in their schools. These teachers report back to the sub-division for HIV-Aids at the directorate. They also have founded clubs at schools (previously known as aids-awareness-clubs, now called health and wellness clubs) through which awareness is raised around certain chosen topics.

Orus says many schools follow the R.A.C.E. programmes with dedication, but there are some schools where the programme is not implemented and followed as it is supposed to. Orus says as far as HIV-status and testing goes, the Erongo-region's focus is more on promoting abstinence among the youth, while managing the HIV-Aids prevention programmes at the same time.

Anybody who wants more information on the HIV-Aids awareness programmes of the Directorate and R.A.C.E. can contact Orus at emsieuris@yahoo.com.

WALVIS BAY – THE NEW INDUSTRIAL CAPITAL OF NAMIBIA. The effect of new capital intensive projects amounting to billions Namibian Dollars are due to cause an “old” harbour town to evolve into a multi-facet industrial “hub” for Namibia. From my point of view, this is the fruit of success from focussed initiatives taken by the Walvis Bay Corridor Group through strategic collaboration by its members and moreover the economic potential of the Port at Walvis Bay as supported by Namport, the local Municipality and Government. Through these endeavours, the port facility has been extended for usage by other landlocked countries of southern Africa and thus becoming a logistical hub for import/export at a much higher level than Namibia by itself.

Therefore, projects such as the new container terminal, port 2 (north port), upgrading of the Airport terminal and runway have been undertaken. Progress is visually rapid and besides this infrastructure there are other aspects e.g. future oil refineries & new noxious industrial area (behind the dune belt), new railway lines, extended/ upgraded road arteries, etc. that are on the cards. As a consequence, and also complimentary hereto are the following new developments; Dunes Mall, Plaza and Square, Waterfront, Hotels, yet another Shopping Mall, etc. Obviously one can conclude that all these economic activities also result in the attraction of a larger workforce and more businesses which calls for responsive action by the Municipality which, as early as mid-2014, introduced their strategic town planning which briefly includes; Towards 2030 – “plan, establish and service an estima-ted 90 new residential townships, providing some 30,000 erven, and constructing or facilitating the construction of over 40,000 houses, flats and townhouses” and also noted in that presentation – “In the next 16 years, Walvis Bay must develop more housing, schools, clinics, community facilities, commercial and industrial opportunities, etc. than it has done since its establishment as a settlement over a hundred years ago”.

To this end, the population is expected during this period to grow from 79,500 (2012 census) to 181,722 by 2030 (i.e. more than double). In conclusion, Walvis Bay is now dubbed as the “modern regional capital and the primary industrial city of Namibia”. Therefore, anyone who considers a property investment, being it residential, commercial or industrial, should take cognizance hereof and react soonest because the window of opportunity is narrowing in certain sectors and some shortages can be expected to, before long, cause the soaring of prices.

Anita Steyn bezieht ihre Inspiration aus den natürlichen Elementen der namibischen Umwelt. In einem Interview mit der freischaffenden Journalistin Ron Swilling aus Kapstadt, äußerte sie ihre Meinung, dass weniger Psychologen nötig wären, wenn die Menschen mehr die Verbindung zur Natur wählen würden.

Anita Steyn kreiert aussagekräftige Bilder, oftmals in robusten Farben und mit kräftigen Pinselstrichen.

Vor allem ihre Kohlezeichnungen sind intensiv im Ausdruck.

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste Neues Reisebuch von Konny Locker vom Hocker Kritische Weihnachtsperspektive!

Swakopmund - Kurz vor Weihnachten setzt die abenteuerlustige Autorin Konny von Schmettau ihre beliebte Reisebuch-Serie „Auf Pad mit Konny“ fort. Umgeben von Löwen, Büffeln und Elefanten entstand der Stoff für einen Krimi, illustriert mit einmaligen Fotos.

Im neuen Reisebuch nimmt die Autorin ihre Leser mit „auf Pad“ in die Sambesi-Region, den ehemaligen Caprivi-Zipfel. Auf den Spuren des berühmten Afrika-Forschers Dr. David Livingstone, der mächtigen Makololo und glückloser Missionare spürt sie Geschichten auf, die ungeahnte Auswirkungen auf Expeditionen und die Missionsarbeit im südlichen Afrika mit sich brachten. Historische Begebenheiten, spannende Legen-

den der Mayeyi und die entbehrungsreichen Reisen europäischer Pioniere durch wilde Buschlandschaften, Sümpfe und Wüsten gewähren Einblicke in eine geheimnisvolle Welt.

Schon die Inhaltsangabe von „Sangwali - David Livingstone am Linyanti“ liest sich wie ein Krimi: Sangwali, ein unscheinbarer, kleiner Ort im äußersten Nordosten Namibias, war Schauplatz historischer Begegnungen zwischen dem berühmten Missionar und Afrikaforscher Dr. David Livingstone und dem großen Häuptling des Makololo-Stammes, Sebitwane, der einst vom Süden her über Tausende von Meilen mit seinen Männern und deren Familien bis in die Sümpfe des Linyanti gezogen war,

um Schutz vor seinen mächtigen Feinden zu suchen.

Jahre später spielte sich hier eine Tragödie ab, mit der die Geschichte der Missionsarbeit auf dem Schwarzen Kontinent völlig neu geschrieben wurde.

Noch heute, nach mehr als 150 Jahren, weiß der Stamm der Mayeyi, die einst als Sklaven der Makololo ein leidvolles Dasein fristeten, vom qualvollen Sterben einer Gruppe englischer Missionare und ihrer Familien. Waren sie am Fieber gestorben oder gar vergiftet worden vom grausamen Nachfolger des verehrten MakololoHäuptlings, Sekeletu?

Nur einer der Missionare und zwei kleine Kinder überlebten und nahmen die Tagebücher der Verstorbenen mit nach England. Darin wird ihre entbehrungsreichen Weg bis an die Ufer des Linyanti beschrieben, wo sie eine Missionsstation errichten wollten, um dem wilden Stamm den christlichen Glauben zu bringen.

In dieser bis heute unberührten Landschaft von unbeschreiblicher Schönheit erbaute ein

Deutscher, der Jahrzehnte lang die Reisen und Entdeckungen des großen Forschers studierte, das „Livingstone’s Camp“, das nicht nur den Zugang zum wild romantischen Nkasa LupalaNationalpark eröffnet, sondern auch die Geschichte der Missionare und Makololo am Leben erhält.

Und ein junger, gebildeter Mayeyi, ein direkter Nachfahre der einstigen Sklaven, errichtete hier ein kleines Museum zur Erinnerung an die unglaublichen Ereignisse, die sich inmitten dieses Paradieses auf Erden einst abspielten. Dies ist ihre Geschichte ... „Sangwali - David Livingstone am Linyanti“ ist seit dem 7. Dezember in der Windhoeker und Swakopmunder Buchhandlung sowie in Kürze auch in ausgewählten Lodges erhältlich. Wer ein handsigniertes Exemplar möchte, kann sich gerne direkt mit der Autorin unter Telefon 081-4859550 oder EMail: info@namibiaaktiv.com in Verbindung setzen.

Keine bekannte Spezies der Gattung Rentier kann fliegen. ABER es gibt mehr als 300000 Spezies von lebenden Organismen, die noch klassifiziert werden müssen, und obwohl es sich dabei hauptsächlich um Insekten und Bakterien handelt, schließt dies nicht mit letzter Sicherheit fliegende Rentiere aus, die nur der Weihnachtsmann bisher gesehen hat.

Es gibt 2 Milliarden Kinder (Menschen unter 18 ) auf der Welt. ABER da der Weihnachtsmann anschei-

lionen Stopps gleichmäßig auf der ganzen Erde verteilt sind (was natürlich, wie wir wissen, nicht stimmt, aber als Berechnungsgrundlage akzeptieren wir dies), erhalten wir nunmehr 1,3 Kilometer Entfernung von Haushalt zu Haushalt, eine Gesamtentfernung von 120,8 Millionen km, nicht mitgerechnet die Unterbrechungen für das, was jeder von uns mindestens einmal in 31 Stunden tun muss, plus Essen usw. Das bedeutet, dass der Schlitten des Weihnachtsmannes mit

nend keine Moslems, Hindu, Juden und Buddhisten beliefert, reduziert sich seine Arbeit auf etwa 15% der Gesamtzahl, sprich 378 Millionen Kinder (laut Volkszählungsbüro). Bei einer durchschnittlichen Kinderzahl von 3,5 pro Haushalt, ergibt das 91,8 Millionen Häuser. Wir nehmen an, dass in jedem Haus mindestens ein braves Kind lebt.

Der Weihnachtsmann hat einen 31-Stunden Weihnachtstag, bedingt durch die verschiedenen Zeitzonen, wenn er von Osten nach Westen reist ( was logisch wäre ). Damit ergeben sich 822,6 Besuche pro Sekunde.

Somit hat der Weihnachtsmann für jeden christlichen Haushalt mit braven Kindern 1/1000 Sekunde Zeit für seine Arbeit. Parken, aus dem Schlitten springen, den Schornstein hinunter klettern, die Socken füllen, die übrigen Geschenke unter den Weihnachtsbaum verteilen, für ihn bereitgestellte Kekse und Milch vertilgen, den Schornstein wieder hinaufklettern und zum nächsten Haus fliegen.

Angenommen, dass jeder dieser 91,8 Mil-

1040 km pro Sekunde fliegt, also der 3000fachen Schallgeschwindigkeit. Zum Ve r g l e i c h : D a s schnellste von Menschen gebaute Fahrzeug auf der Erde, der Ulysses Space Probe, fährt mit lächerlichen 43,8 km pro Sekunde.

Ein gewöhnliches Rentier schafft höchstens 24 km pro STUNDE. Die Ladung des Schlittens führt zu einem weiteren interessanten Aspekt. Angenommen, jedes Kind bekommt nicht mehr als ein mittelgroßes Lego-Set ( Etwa 1 kg), dann hat der Schlitten ein Gewicht von 3780 00 Tonnen geladen, nicht gerechnet den Weihnachtsmann, der übereinstimmend als übergewichtig beschrieben wird. Ein gewöhnliches Rentier kann nicht mehr als 175 kg ziehen. Selbst bei der Annahme, dass ein “fliegendes Rentier” das zehnfache ziehen kann, braucht man für den Schlitten nicht acht oder vielleicht neun Rentiere.

Man braucht 216000 Rentiere. Das erhöht das Gewicht - den Schlitten selbst noch nicht einmal einge-

rechnet - auf 410400 Tonnen. Nochmals zum Vergleich: Das ist mehr als das Vierfache des Luxusliners Queen Elizabeth. 410400 Tonnen bei einer Geschwindigkeit von 1040 km/s erzeugt einen ungeheuren Luftwiderstand - dadurch werden die Rentiere aufgeheizt, genauso wie ein Raumschiff, das wieder in

die Erdatmosphäre eintritt. Das vorderste Paar Rentiere muss dadurch 16,6 TRILLIONEN Joule Energie absorbieren. Pro Sekunde. Jedes. Anders ausgedrückt, sie werden praktisch augenblicklich in Flammen aufgehen, das nächste Paar Rentiere wird dem Luftwiderstand preisgegeben und es wird ein ohrenbetäubender Knall erzeugt. Das gesamte Team von Rentieren wird innerhalb von fünf Tausendstel Sekunden vaporisiert.

Der Weihnachtsmann wird währenddessen einer Beschleunigung von der Größe der 17500fachen Erdbeschleunigung ausgesetzt.

Ein 120 kg schwerer Weihnachtsmann (was der Beschreibung nach lä-cherlich wenig sein muss) würde an das Ende seines Schlitten genagelt - mit einer Kraft von 20,6 Millionen Newton.

Damit kommen wir zu dem Schluss: WENN der Weihnachtsmann irgendwann einmal die Geschenke gebracht hat, ist er heute tot!

11 DECEMBER 2015

Monthly Monitor: November 2015 Market Review: Market volatility driven by mixed investor sentiment caused November to be another volatile month in 2015. Graph 1 below shows a Fear & Greed Index. This dial indicates how positive or negative investors are feeling about the markets. For now, the reading is neutral to slightly positive.

Portfolio Performance: Although markets can be volatile over shorter periods, like a month, they become more predictable given enough time. Table 2 shows the 1-year and 3-year (per annum) returns ending November 2015 of our six managed portfolios. The returns are calculated based on gross internal rates of return (IRR’s) from actual client data:

In spite of heightened global market volatility, all our portfolios except the Conservative+ Portfolio managed to beat their expected returns over 1-year and 3-year periods. This is proof of the importance of diversification, appropriate allocations amongst asset classes and good fund selection in minimizing the overall risk of an investment portfolio.

Conclusion: With markets looking for direction we come to the close of a challenging year of investments, fortunately with pleasing results. The aim remains to protect clients' investments against market volatility as well as to produce returns in line with long-term expectations.

Hendrie Scheun, BSc, DEP & MSc (Financial Economics), ACFP (Investments), is a qualified economist with wide international and local experience. He is a financial adviser at the Namibian coast focussing on savings and investments and can be reached on 081 127 2244. Investment Consultant, Michele Arnold, BCom (Honours in We enter the last month of the year on unsteady footing as the United States (US) Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision is coming up on 16th Risk Management) (North-West University) contributed to this article.

December. There is a high probability of a hike which would be only the first one in the cycle. The result has been a strong US Dollar and capital outflows from emerging market assets and currencies. Divergences between the economic growth of various economies and their policy stances add volatility to the markets. As the US starts to tighten monetary policy through increasing interest rates, others, such as the Eurozone, continue to loosen monetary policy.

Both global and local equity markets have been in an upward trend since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. Usually it takes extreme euphoria in investor sentiment for such a bull trend to come to an end. As seen in Graph 1 above, investors are not overly positive about the markets at the moment. Therefore, we expect the bull market to continue into 2016, but not without volatility. As the bull gets older, it does tend to become more volatile. US presidential elections take place again next year. Since World War II markets have been positive for elections years 90% of the time! And with the recent positive earnings reports out of the US and the economic expansion seemingly intact, this makes for a positive case moving forward.

Locally, resource shares continue to weigh on the share index as China struggles to find a pickup in growth, but industrial and financial shares may be able to carry the index forward. Listed property continues to be the best performing local asset class, whilst a weak Rand and negative investor sentiment caused bonds to be the worst performer.

See Table 1 below for asset class returns over various periods:

The All-New Mazda CX-3: the standard for a new era

Mazda's newest compact SUV. The All-New Mazda CX-3 offers a design of the finest quality and style thanks to the KODO - Soul of Motion design language.

It adopts the full suite of SKYACTIV Technologies and has been carefully crafted to match human sensibilities in order to deliver performance that can be enjoyed without reservation.

A fifth model in Mazda's line-up of new-generation vehicles, its size and packaging aim to make it easy to use in a wide variety of situa-tions.

The CX-3 is a completely new model with a boldly inspired exterior, a stylish interior as well as dynamic performance and sporty handling. Rather than focusing on spec sheet values, Mazda went back to the drawing board, looked at what essential values people seek in a car, and produced a brand new vehicle aimed to create the standard for a new era. With a combination of Mazda's latest technology and design, maximised fuel efficiency and the latest active safety and connectivity technology; the compact cross-over is a successful combination of engineering, design and a flexible driver oriented approach.

"The product of Mazda's latest design

and technologies, the CX-3 is a vehicle that can suit the diverse lifestyles of today's customers in any scene, from inner-city driving to enjoying the great outdoors - enabling customers to express their unique individuality.

We believe the Mazda CX-3 will do well in the Southern Africa market," comments Mr David Hughes, Managing Director of Mazda Southern Africa.

The All-New Mazda CX-3 is designed and built to the highest standard of performance and reliability.

This standard is backed

up by a 3-year unlimited kilometre factory warranty. To provide complete peace of mind motoring, a 3-year roadside assistance, a 3-year service plan and a 5year Corrosion Warranty are also included.

Private sector should be convinced of climate change threat - Shifeta PARIS: Namibia is faced with difficult choices with regards to where to focus the country's limited financial resources, but has identified climate change as a critical threat to the economy.

The Minister of Environment and Tourism, Pohamba Shifeta (pictured) made the remarks on Monday during a panel discussion with representatives from banking institutions on the sidelines of the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties (COP21) climate talks underway here.

The European Investment Bank, World Bank, Asian Development Bank and 23 other leading financial institutions from around the world agreed to adopt

the 'Five Principles to Mainstream Climate Action'.

The principles highlight practical and operational approaches to integrate the climate into the core investment and advisory functions of a financial institution.

They outline how financial institutions can commit to climate strategies; manage climate risks; promote climate smart objectives; improve climate performance; and account for climate action.

“As the Ministry of

Environment and Tourism, there is a need for us to convince other ministries and private institutions of the threat of climate change and the need to budget and invest accordingly for climate change adaptation and mitigation.

“We believe that these principles will assist us to raise awareness of the importance of climate change among other stakeholders and encourage the necessary investment and actions to make us more climateresilient,” he said.

Scaling up climate finance is a critical need for Namibia. Namibia's Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) report estimated that around US dollars 33 billion (about N$490 billion) would be required to achieve a 90 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2030.

“For a developing country such as Namibia, this is a massive investment, which needs to be mobilised from a range of sources,” according to Shifeta.

Namibia has established its own Environmental Investment Fund (EIF) that is leading the

process of environmental fiscal reform in the country and which is providing loans and grants for green technologies and communitybased environmental projects across the country.

“For starters, we will seek to integrate these principles into the operations of the EIF. But what we particularly need is for commercial banks to come to the table to finance our transition to a low carbon economy.

“There are massive investment opportunities in the areas of renewable energy, sustainable transport and water, and energy efficient technologies amongst others. I believe these principles can be useful to identify these investment opportunities and to bring financial institutions on board in the fight against climate change.”

The five voluntary principles to mainstream climate action within financial institutions were initially developed

by a group of multilateral development banks (MDBs) and several members of the International Development Finance Club (IDFC), a network of national, regional and international development banks.

Meanwhile, civil society organisations and non-governmental organisations said these principles lack climate leadership at the world's largest banks. They claimed that not one principle mentioned the major role financial institutions have to play in 'de-carbonising' the global economy. This is first and foremost by signing the 'Paris pledge to quit coal' and publicly committing to phasing out financing for coal mining and coal-fired power worldwide, according to a statement issued by BankTrack, Friends of the Earth France, as well as Rainforest Action Network, before the event took place.

“The urgency of addressing the biggest dri-

vers of climate change has never been more pressing than it is here at the COP 21 summit, and yet the worlds 'fossil fuels' still do not appear in these new climate principles. While some financial institutions have recently started to cut their financing for coal mining and coal power, the sector still refuses to collectively recognise that the one key climate action they need to take is to phase out their financing of fossil fuels,” the statement added.

'Fossil fuel' is a general term for buried combustible geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years.

By signing the voluntary principles, the financial institutions, together representing more than US dollars 11 trillion. NAMPA

Stefanus Excels at 2015 Distell Rossmund Open Championship

Kudus in beeld

Al die ondersteuners van die Rugby Klub is ook vereer vir hul bydrae.

Barney Jansen van Vuuren (Distell), Stefanus Bonifacius (Champion), Marco Swarts (NAGU President), Fanus Jordaan (RGC Captain)

Rossmund Golf Club (RGC) played host over the past weekend to the 2015 Distell Rossmund Open Championship with weather conditions and the venue looking great for golf.

The course attracted a field of 66 golfers from all corners of Namibia.

This is an official event on the Namibia Amateur Golf Union (NAGU) calendar so Merit List points were up for grabs – not to mention the African Green Jacket Points on offer. Play commenced on Saturday at 07:00 and from his drive on the first tee box, it was evident that Stefanus Bonifacius was determined to make the tournament his. Finishing his first 18 holes with a brilliantly played 68 gross, four under par, he managed to keep the momentum going and despite the appearance of a strong south west wind in the afternoon session, he carded a one under par 71 gross giving him an overnight total of 139 gross – a 9 shot lead over his nearest rivals Lucius Nande on 148; Eli Mbango and Martin Angula on 153; other notables Kevin Wentzel and P Shimoshili on 155. Chris Heunis and Thomas Shitaleni shared the overnight lead in the “B” Division and Kingsley Anofi the “C” Division.

Sunday weather conditions were once again perfect and the guys managed to produce some good scores. Barney and Michael from Distell were on hand at the prize giving. President of NAGU, Marco Swarts thanked Distell for their continuous support of golf in Namibia and the Rossmund Golf Club for the use of the course.

Barney confirmed their participation for 2016 and hoped that there would be a bigger and better field.

The KIA Namibia cycling team has set its sights on the prestigious Nedbank Desert Dash entering one Four Man Team, one Two person Mixed Team as well as having two of its top riders competing in the Solo Category.

The Nedbank Desert Dash race, beginning today with 575 riders, has been growing tremendously over the last couple of years and is considered to be one of the toughest 24 hour single stage races in the world. The riders have to complete the 369 kilometre long stretch from Windhoek to Swakopmund in less than 24 hours.

After participating as a two-man team the last two years, Martin Freyer and Michael Pretorius have decided to tackle the race in the Solo category.

“We had a couple of discussions about it and decided to start individually but still ride alongside each

other. We both wanted a new challenge,” Freyer explained.

In 2013 the pair led for most of the race but a wrong turn-off at the end set them back, eventually ending in fifth and in 2014, a broken chain cost them the lead to finish in second position.

To keep up with and therefore support each other, Freyer and Pretorius have been training together for the last few weeks.

“Training has been going very well,” Freyer further stated.

In the two person Mixed category, KIA Elite rider and current Namibian National MTB Marathon Champion, Michelle Vorster,

who only joined the team some months ago, will fight for the podium alongside 2014 Namibian National MTB Marathon Champion Heiko Redecker, who arrived in Windhoek from South Africa Wednesday afternoon.

Furthermore, KIA Elite members JanHendrik and Marnus Verdoes as well as junior rider Brandon Plaatjes, have teamedup with Adriaan Maartens to tackle the fourman category.

Team support will be done by Mr Willie Verdoes from KIA Motors Namibia, William Verdoes and Heinrich Kohne, also a Team KIA Elite rider.
