Mwatunga welcomed back to Swapo Jade McClune

The Swakopmund Residents Association has formally objected to the sale of a large piece of land to the Swapo Party at a rock-bottom price.

The SRA has repeatedly objected to Council's plan to sell Erf 3486 on Rakotoka Street for N$30 000.

The property, measuring 4 363 square metres, has been valued at around N$2.6 million.

The offer of N$30 000 amounts to only N$6.88 per square metre. The SRA also said they did not have enough time to review the details of the transaction. The documents pertaining to the deal were open to the public over the December holiday period when council offices were closed for several days. The management committee argued that the Local Authorities Act does not require that such transactions be available for public inspection during "working days" specifically, and so rejected the SRA's objection.

A question of value The local authority had initially recommended a price of N$250 per m² in May 2010, although the property had been valued between N$419 and N$481 per square metre; the SRA argued at the time that the buyer should not

get “an unduly favoured price” and insisted that it should be sold at the average valuation.

Council responded by saying that: “it is Council's prerogative to determine the selling price as initiated by the valuators.

The valuations are only to guide Council in determining the purchase price. Based on this the lodged objections cannot be supported.” The Lease Memorandum stipulates that on termination of the lease period “the lessee shall be obliged to purchase the property against the ruling price at that time”. Three valuators appointed in November 2009 had valued the property at between N$1.83 million and N$2.1 million. A further assessment of the erf, when zoned for 'office' purposes, produced a valuation of N$2.6 million.

The SRA also objected that the area was still zoned 'light industrial'; in response Council resolved that the erf be rezoned before it is offered to the applicant. Faced with widespread criticism of

its decision to sell for N$250/m², Council later changed its Property Policy and went even further by offering the property for only N$30 000.

Land for political organisations Under the new Property Policy, it is said, all organisations registered with the Electoral Commission may in future apply for land and get it on the same terms offered to Swapo. Political organisations can now purchase land in Swakopmund for a “minimum price not less than the cost for the installation of services (development cost) per square metre at the time the erf was developed.”

Furthermore, “the price will not be escalated from the date on which services were completed.”

However, the records also indicate that “Council has no other land to offer to other organisations registered with the Electoral Commission at the same low price.”

Minuted discussions of the management committee on 16 January reveal that certain mem-

bers felt that the purchase price of N$30 000 is low for a property “the probable value of which is N$2 600 000”, but Council dismissed the SRA's objections and decided to seek permission from the Minister of Regional and Local Government and Housing to proceed with the sale.

Although Council retains the right of first refusal, there is nothing in law that would prevent the new owner from selling the property on at a marketrelated price, given that according to its own rules, “Council cannot unreasonably withhold approval for such sale”.

Political responses Mr Philipus Heita, the Regional Coordinator of the Swapo Party says “Everybody has the right to apply for land. The local authority is not there only for the Swapo Party, but for all the people.

There is no opposition from our side if other parties want to apply for land.”

Mr Anton von Wietersheim of the Rally for Democracy and Progress (RDP) also raised the issue in parliament recently: “The sale of Erf 3486 at a market-related

price as stipulated in the lease conditions could do wonders in terms of making funds available for the servicing and provision of land in the municipal area… with a view to alleviating the extreme housing plight of Swakopmund inhabitants, particularly with regard to informal settlements.”

He told parliament that the sale below market value was “a despicable decision by the Swapodominated Council” and that “it serves only in the interest of self-enrichment of the party.”

Sources within the SRA have meanwhile indicated that the matter could end up with the Anti-Corruption Commission. In 2001 the erf was leased to Swapo for a period of nine years and 11 months for N$10 per year. It was to be used as a training centre for workers.

At the time of the expiry of the lease agreement in January 2011, the SRA noted that the property has never been used for the purpose it was intended. It was supposed to be a “self-help training centre for construction workers and artisans. To date no training centre has been erected.”

Bank signs wage agreement with BAWON Standard Bank Namibia recently signed the Wages and Benefits Agreement with the Bank Workers Union of Namibia (BAWON) putting into effect an 8 percent increase for the bank's employees effective as from the 1st of March 2014.

The latest agreement was signed on 6 February 2014 at Standard Bank's Head Office in Windhoek. The agreement which comes after two days of fruitful negotiations reveal salary increases and related benefits for Standard Bank's employees for the financial year March 2014 to February 2015.

Welcoming this gesture, Standard Bank Namibia's Chief Executive Mpumzi Pupuma said the employees are the biggest stakeholders in this process and building a strong partnership with the union is important.

“This is not a once-off relation-ship between Standard Bank and BAWON. We have agreed to build a sound rela-tionship and will meet on a quarterly basis by coming up with mutually beneficial resolutions,” said Pupuma.

Echoing the same sentiment, Standard Bank Namibia's Head of Human Resources Isdor Angula commended the maturity of the speedy negotiations which recognised the current inflation and macro and

On his part, Secretary General of BAWON Thomas Muchima said “the way both parties interacted in achieving a mutual gain was (based on) a model of mutual respect and deep relations we have.”

The signed wage agreement is as follows: Salary Increase: That an average increase of 8% be applied to the basic

salaries of all eligible permanent nonmanagerial employees, this effective 01 March 2014 and this so to be distributed on the principle of pay for performance, measured in terms of the Enduring Performance Management (EPM) process. Medical Insurance (Blue): That the monthly contribution by the employer in respect of medical insurance for all permanent non-managerial employees be increased from 50% to 67% at cost to the employer and that the monthly contribution by all employees as members of Blue be reduced to 33%, this on the current individual option exercised and this so effective as from 01 March 2014.

Rental Allowance: That the monthly rental allowance currently received by all permanent non-mana-

gerial staff who do not qualify for housing subsidy and/or who do not reside in Bank owned property be increased from N$ 300.00 to N$ 400.00 monthly, this so effective as from 01 March 2014.

That the monthly rental allowance of N$ 400.00 as benefit to employees shall be payable only for the duration of this agreement and shall not be regarded as continued permanent benefit to employees and specifically that the agreement hereto shall terminate on date 28 February 2015.

Housing Subsidy: That the current benefit arrangement and offering pertaining to housing subsidy remain as is provided for in terms of the employer's Remuneration and Benefit Policy of 2011.

Solution to petrol card phase out offered FNB Namibia has advised its customers that debit and credit cards as well as cash will be the only means of payment after 28 February 2014.

All banks have been advising clients for numerous months on the phasing out of these cards, which stems from a new regulation, the Determination on the Conduct of Card Transactions within the National Payment System (PSD-4), issued by the Bank of Namibia, which came into effect on 30 June 2013.

According to Vicky Muranda, Communications Manager the bank realise that this new regulation by BoN could be inconvenient for numerous people and especially companies, who cannot issue their drivers with the companies debit or credit cards, nor cash for big Lorries.

FNB Namibia, however, have a number of solutions for both small companies and those that sit with a fleet of 3 or more vehicles. The bank's doors are always open and it encourages clients to talk to their personal banker. 'Normal' motorists can refill with their debit/ credit card but FNB warns that motorists should first find out whether the service station takes these cards, as they can exercise their right to only accept cash for fuel purchases. “To make it a bit easier we wish to provide motorists with the list of service stations that have signed on, thereby accepting cards as payment methods for fuel.” said Muranda.

The funds were handed over on Thursday, 6 February 2013 at 11h00 at the Hitradio Namibia studios in Maerua Mall. “Aktion Sonnenstern 2013 surpassed all hope and predictions”, said Doris Meyer, the coordinator of the project. “Some listeners even donated twice and quite a few corporate donors used the opportunity to support this worthy cause”. This year the following three organisations each received N$ 166 666.66: The Frail Care Centre of the Lions Club Swakopmund, The Okanti Foundation which supports chronic ill patients and those waiting for organ transplants and The Charity and Care Foundation, a day care in Katutura.

During the “Aktion Sonnenstern 2012” a totaI of N$ 260 000.00 was raised and distributed in equal parts to the Cancer Association of Namibia, the Okanti Foundation and MS Namibia. “Hitradio Namibia is grateful for the tremendous support from especially the German-speaking community in Namibia towards the “Aktion Sonnenstern”. Our listeners have helped us to make a difference in our Namibian Society”, said Hitradio Namibia CEO, Wilfried Hähner.

The Charity Care Kids Foundation will receive their funds today. Not only will Beatrice Shilongo receive on behalf of the CharityCare Kids foundation N$166 666.66, but Cymot will handover 30 matrasses for the children.

Liefie gooi 'n duisend dankies na die Munisipaliteit! Dié het so wrintiewaar daai pale wat soos skerp naalde rondgestaan het op Langstrand gaan stomp maak en sodoende 'n noodlottige gebeurtenis vermy. In Namibstraat, Narraville is 'n drein wat se gat vir maande lank met 'n oliedrom toegestop is. Gaan kyk tog asb.

Die mense aan die anderkant van die treinspoor en doer duskant die brug lewe glo in vrees vir diewe.

Die volk sluit glo hulle TV's, DVD's, mikrogolwe en ander waardevolle besittings in hulle hangkaste met slotte en kettings toe waneer hulle gaan slaap. Daar word beweer dat besitting sommer voete kry in die middernagtelike ure en spoorloos onder die sorg en toesig van hulle eienaars verdywn. 'n Tannie op die dorp is erg verontwaardig omdat sy in 'n man verander is deur verkiesing registrasiebeamptes. Sy is nou vreesbevange dat hulle haar gaan toesluit vir bedrog wanneer sy haar kruisies wil gaan maak. Sy het haar nuwe stemkaart vir Liefie kom wys en daarop is haar geslag as manlik aangedui. Hoe nou gemaak wou sy na aan trane weet.

Nommer asseblief! Huiswerkers is glo meer by “super awe” as aan diens! Die stof gaar glo op terwyl daar luidkeels en luidrigtig geklets word vir ure. Kry dan ten minste vir julle “hands free kits” dames.

Februarie is die maand van liefde.

Hulle sê mos normaalweg hou dit in die familie, maar in dié opsig pleit Liefie by julle om dit tog uit die

familie te hou. Alle playboys, julle kan maar ophou soek want die play hasies is glo weer terug in hulle hokkies. Hoop nie hulle het te diep spore op die duine gelos nie. Let wel en pasop! Die minnaresse skryf deesdae glo boodskappe op die ruite van die ontroue manne se voertuie vir die aandag vir hulle vrouens. Jou voertuig kan jy was maar nie jou gewete nie!

Wat is dit met die werkers van eetplekke wat vrypostig staan en rondkrap en grawe in hulle neuse?

Liefie hoor hulle rol glo hulle fondse in bolletjies en skiet dit dan in die atmosfeer in. Dan het hule nog die vermetelhied om nie hulle hande te was na hulle ondermynende aktiwiteite en gaan net voort om kliënte te bedien. Sies, julle is rerig 'n verlies vir enige iemand se aptyt!

Dan is daar nog ook die dronk ou wat glo van sy nood gaan ontlae raak het in 'n meme se kapana pan. Hy is op heterdaad betrap deur die verontwaardigde vrou en toe sy hom aanspreek oor die vonds wat hy in haar pan nagelaat het, het hy aan die vloek begin raak. Hy is van die perseel vewyder en vir openbare onsedelikheid aangekla.

Niksvermoedende kapana kliënte het glo die volgende dag van 'n effense souterige smakie gekla.

No information Namib Times Facebook Reader’s Comments when needed Hopeless information was given to me this morning (09.02.2014) when I made a call from Germany to get hold of my sister at the Mediclinic Swakopmund.

Each time when the call was diverted to the ward, the call got lost. This happened 3 to 4 times. I then asked the reception that my sister should switch on her cell.

Guess what happened when I eventually got hold of her on a different number. She explained to me that her cell got stolen by the clinic personnel. Furthermore, she left the clinic the day before.

This I call poor occurrence and a total mess up. Well, I hope to hear this case will be investigated and cleared up.

'n Leser vra dat wanneer die binnelanders by die kus kom kuier hulle tog moet probeer om die strand mooi skoon te hou.

Dankie by Voorbaat!

Erika Glück Ek is 'n sogenaamde binnelander en nou by die kus, nou is daar mos baie minder "binnelanders" in Swakop as gewoonlik.... guess what, was vanoggend langs die strand en daar lê ook gemors rond, binnelanders of de not! Almal moet leer om op te ruim, maak nie saak waar ons vandaan kom of bly nie!

Elrene Sylvester Dit is absoluut skokkend hoe duidelik en tasbaar die rassisme is in die draad van die comments: "ONS strand", "HULLE iets skoon hou", "HULLE is varke", "bos uit HULLE haal", dink dit is Katatura", deel van HUL KULTUUR".....

Michaela Schroeter As jy genoeg 'musclepower' het om dit saam te bring om te eet of te drink, dan het jy mos ook nog genoeg 'musclepower' om die lee bottle of papier weer saam te neem, of ten minste net 'n paar meter verder van jou in 'n asblik te plaas. As daar nie 'n asblik is nie, dan het jy seker 'n sak of ysboks wat jy saamgebring het wat nou weer leeg huistoe gaan. Wat is verkeerd met jou asblik by die huis, is my vraag?

Valencia Dixon Yoh, I can't believe we are still struggling with racism in this country. As elkeen net sy gemors optel, sal alles ok wees, en as hulle nie wil nie kan die municipality mense kry om dit heeldag op tetel hulle maak genoeg geld uit ons anyway.

Morne Visser Ai ai en die beste van alles is dit gaan nooit ooit verander nie, iemand wat dit aanvaar moet sy kop laat lees maak nie saak wat jou kleur of kultuur is nie.

Wolmarien Walla Farmer Nogal varke,hoe praat ons dan nou?

Ronelle Janse van Rensburg Daar staan dan soveel dromme. Jy kan nie die bos uit hul haal nie.

Raymond Dobson Can you imagine if we never had a municipality like some South African towns.

Danny Beukes Dis n attitude ding, nie n kleur ding nie, n self respek ding, nie Afrika ding nie.

Maar kom nou tog my mede darkies, kom ons tel tog die gemors op, en leer ons laaities om goed inie asdrom te gooi...

Sterjos Stergiadis Its not about hiring people to clean,its about morals!!

Denise Van Bergen I was in Berlin during the annual "Love Fest" many years' ago. The next

morning, one couldn't see the roads, pavements or anything, because of the unbelievable amount of rubbish thrown around. But Sanitation Workers are well paid and respected in Germany, and by noon, everything was absolutely clean and tidy again!

Valencia Dixon Sanitation workers, especially during the festive season everyone spends big amounts of money in this town during the festive season and I feel the municipality can employ people.

Michaela Vondrousova Just employ someone to do it, Jees. #cheapskates Frauke von Hatten Only in Africa! In every other country you get a fine for leaving such a mess!

Judene Van Wyk So gaan dit van generasie na generasie ouers leer ni die kinders nie en hul dink dis maar soos dit gedoen word . Gebrek aan opvoeding . Nou moet daar weer iemand betaal word om die gemors op te ruim - dis n skande om so te mors Evette Schuff Binnelanders??? almal mors maak nie saak waar jy woonagtig is nie!

Chris En Elsa Steenkamp Toemaar, by die huis lyk dit net so!

Dudley Visser Wa wil hulle iets skoon hou hulle is varke en as jy dit vir hulle uit wys se hulle dit is job creation Rupert Smith Dis beslis n afrika ding ....ons bly in namibia , land of the " brave " Nanzy Femiluv Hire people to do THE CLEANING. Soo many citizens who have no job..

Edith Bernard die mense daar op die foto kan mos daai gemors rondom hulle optel? elkeen een papier en dans dit weer skoon, hul sit behoorlik in die vuilis, lol!

Magdalena Saayman Dit geld so oral waar mense kom. Hoekom jou gemors agterlaat vir iemand anders om op te ruim. Doen dit self.

Bernadette Voigts Tsumeb se park lyk ok elke dag so vir die klomp varke is dit makliker om hulle junk langs die asblik te gooi as om dit binne in te gooi!

Antionette Diedericks As julle al mooi gehoor het is Windhoek een van die skoonste pleke,mt nie julle straad bemors en se dis die bindelanders nie.dankie Matthew Paulsen Nooit het ons strand so gelyk n paar jaar terug...

11FEBRUARY 2014

Through Christopher Wildblood's lens Anri Jacobs Christopher R. V. Wildblood was born in Staffordshire, in the heart of England. He has been in the world of photography for quite a while.

“Since I was about 15, so that was about xxx years ago!” is how he describes it. He did however not study photography but believes strongly it isn't a subject that you can package. Christopher grew up in Staffordshire, Shropshire and Derbyshire, with the odd forays into Wales, Scotland, Devon, Cornwall and the Alps.

Those of you who have seen his work will know that Christopher definitely enjoys wildlife/ nature/landscapes and aerial photography the most. He added, “I spent many hours in the air with Matthias Braune and seeing Namibia from the air was something else, and a book of Namibia from the air is pretty high on the list of 'things to do'.” Christopher said that he has not truly been influenced much by others’ work, but continued, “The introduction to Ansell Adams' attention

to detail and the 'zone' system definitely helped me understand the finer points of exposure and film/ digital latitude. I'm not sure that that is applicable nowadays though.” He did however add that watching his father in his makeshift darkroom in the spare room and seeing the images appear in the developer in front of your eyes, as if by magic, was one of the things that inspired him most. One of Christopher's favourite works is the whale shark, taken in the Maldives. He however added that he is very biased. “That picture took 3 months of planning, 70kg of diving and underwater housing equipment to get through various airports and then find the subject. The mother giraffe with its baby looking on as she eats the seed-pods is also high on the list, as I had spent a fruitless day beforehand looking for elephants in the Hoanib

beforehand.”When we asked Christopher what is the one thing he learned since he started taking photos he added, “Don't do it. Get a degree in journalism, law or microbiology instead, then use it as a hobby and see how it goes.”

Christopher mostly uses 35mm or digital equivalent, but says that he has now started experimenting with GoPro for aerial photography. He added, “But I still love my Olympus Trip that I was th given for my 12 birthday present.” Naturally we had to ask Christopher the big question, Canon or Nikon?

“Nikon, only because I started with studio situations. It's also ideally suited to underwater work, particularly the now-discontinued Nikon cameras, and I can intuitively use the software menus, but I would happily use either.”

Christopher's most loved lens is his 200-400mm f2.8 for wildlife since he uses it to frame the subject more easily than with the fixed 300mm f2.8 and also because it allows him to be as far away as possible so that he is outside of their 'comfort zone' which allows for more natural images. He continued, “Although they both give you aching arm muscles by the end of the day! If I had to keep only one lens

though it would probably be the 70-200mm f2.8, which I've used in various guises for 30 years, and I could use a tele-converter, although I find that they degrade the image to an unacceptable level.

Underwater the 105mm macro and the 10.5mm fisheye are my favourites.”

Due to the nature of his photography it was interesting to find out when he goes travelling, what is the first thing to be packed.

“Gaffer tape, the eighth wonder of the world. And a spare credit card just incase things go wrong (as they will).' Being a photographer there is a new gadget for sale every day that you want to buy, in the end of the day you might regret some of those impulsive decisions.

Christopher agreed, “There are so many! That's one of the perks of being a photographer; we can justify anything if we want to! My home is full of things that 'I might need one day'. Christopher explained that he makes use of very little post processing. “Obviously I am 'old school' and started with silver halides, bromine and acid stop baths, then Photoshop appeared on the scene. For a short period I let things lapse thinking Photoshop would solve everything (many

years ago). Now I make sure that everything is recorded as perfect as possible at the start.”

For most photographers, taking time 'not taking pictures’ is next to impossible. Christopher is managing to keep himself quite busy in his 'off' time, “At the moment I am being trained to fly remotely operated unmanned aircraft, so that is taking up much of my time. The 6 nations rugby takes up a small percentage and there is about 5% left to read a book.”

Christopher recently launched a new book named, “The Realm of the Desert Elephant” and he shared his inspiration for making this book. “After spending all of my formative years falling out of trees and exploring various ways to be covered in mud, stung or bitten, I ended up in the sterile, controlled space of the commercial photographic studios. After 17 years of that I needed to escape. My cousin (Martin) is a co-owner of Ultimate Safaris, and as I was at a bit of a loose end at the time, suggested coming out to Namibia. A few months later I ended up in Hobatere and the rest is history.” On such an amazing journey there are countless wonderful experiences and Christopher shared, “There are so many, it's difficult to choose, but sitting by a small fire, on your own, just about able to read a book by natural light, hearing a very small rustle of leaves behind, turning to look, and find half a dozen elephants next to you and totally content with your presence there.

You can't achieve that on a 2 week safari.” Apart from being privileged enough to spend all of that time in nature, Christopher's choice of photography has allowed him to witness countless amazing things, “Apart from the wildlife it must have been flying over the stunning scenery with Matthias Braune in various Cessnas and seeing Namibia from an angle that is not accessible to the majority of people.”

Christopher shared his vision, “When I was spending my time in northwest Namibia photographing for 'The Realm of the Desert Elephant' I couldn't help feeling that I was writing an obituary. That thought still stays with me.”

LEARNING: Education can be fun

Macademy leadership training Madelaine Laubscher

Macademy Therapeutic Educational Centre had the privilege to host the first leadership training for the 2014 prefects of Karibib School on 17 January 2014.

According to a spokesperson of Macademy, the programme covered a variety of topics, namely positive attitude, assertiveness, leadership values and team building qualities.

Mrs Marisa Brandt, the owner of Macademy, said the day was however not just hard work and no play.

These learners had the opportunity to experience the Walvis Bay coast in all its splendour.

Nothing could hide the smiles on their faces when they were entertained by the dolphins, seals and pelicans on a luxurious Catamaran.

They also went dune boarding which was both nerve wrecking and exciting.” “All the tutors at Macademy hope that this training programme added significant value to the educational and academic future of the Karibib School prefects of 2014.

We wish them all the best in their year of leadership,” she concluded.
