One dumping culprit identified

Two articles were published in the newspaper regarding illegal dumping taking place at Kuisebmond Beach since December 2013.

Yesterday, a local resident provided the newspaper with a lead to identify one of the dumping culprits. The driver of a truck with the registration number N 9383 WB was caught in the act, dumping garbage at Kuisebmond Beach on Saturday.

This has been a problem for months and was reported to the municipality in December 2013. The problem has only gone from bad to worse over the past few months and thanks to a vigilant resident, one of the culprits can now be identified.

“I drove along Kuisebmond Beach and saw a truck dumping garbage. I did not even have to drive far along the beach. I decided Caught in the act

The Namibian Food and Allied Union (NAFAU) held a press conference last week Friday at the Arandis Town Hall, accusing the owner of Dantago Clothing CC, Mr Collin Williams, of mismanaging his company, which according to them, caused the abrupt closure of the clothing factory.

to take photos and to provide them to the newspaper as this is utterly intolerable. I will visit the traffic department as well as the municipality to ask them what they are planning to do about this issue, because residents are tired of seeing this sight. Are they folding their arms and allowing Walvis Bay to become a filthy place?”

The Public Relations Officer of the Municipality of Walvis Bay, Mr Kevin Adams said that they are looking for solutions for the

problem. “Transfer stations have been used in Windhoek before and this might be a solution. We could start to make use of that here at the coast. At the moment we are still looking into different solutions,” he said.

The newspaper provided the Chief Traffic Officer of the municipality, Mr Eben Platt, with the registration number. He thanked the Namib Times and said, “Now that we have a registration number, we can easily identify the culprit. We will take immediate legal action against them.”

They also demand the workers' salaries for February this year and the membership contributions, from December 2013 to be paid.

in remembrance of the 15 young women who lost their lives in Namibia.

Superintendent S Geiseb, who is also a radio presenter for Damara/Nama Radio, led the candle lighting session. It was an emotional occasion and tears were shed. Prayers were offered calling for an end to the senseless violence.

Swakopmund Town Council has in principle approved the sale of a massive piece of land near Oceanview to a private developer for N$17 million.

Extension 24, known as Block 9, is situated to the north of Swakopmund, along the road that leads to Henties Bay, and measures some 101 224 m² in size. It will be used for township development, according to minutes of the most recent Council meeting.

At its last session Council approved the sale of Block 9 to Mr Silvanus Kathindi at the price of N$168 per m², with a total cost of N$17 005 632, excluding VAT. The property was valued at between N$150/m² and N$205m². Under the terms of the agreement, Council will get back one-third (30%) of all erven serviced by Mr Kathindi.

Applications by M.E. Lehmann, who applied in February 2011, as well as a company named Mondesa One Investment, that applied in March 2012 were rejected in favour of Mr Kathindi, while an application

by Ombundu Investments was referred back to the management committee.

Mr Kathindi managed to beat the other applicants to the mark. In its submission to Council the management committee explained that the municipality's revised Property Policy states that “Although Council will attend to applications for the sale or lease of land chronologically, according to the date of receipt of the application, the consideration thereof will be based on merit, in Council's discretion acting in good faith.”

Asked what the erven will be used for specifically, Mr Kathindi told the Namib Times yesterday that they are still in the very early stages of planning.

“We need to do a lot of planning, subdivisions have Deon Louw, a biker from Windhoek slipped with his BMW motorbike and broke his leg on Saturday on the B2 route at approximately 19:50. Louw hit one of the barricade poles planted next to the road. Med Rescue personnel rushed to the scene and stabilised Louw before he was taken to Welwitschia Hospital for treatment.

The accident happened in the vicinity of the Narraville Bridge and apparently occurred when Louw swerved to avoid a Volkswagen Polo which turned into his way from the direction of the off-ramp.

He said the application to buy the property has been in the pipeline for several years: “I've been working on this project for some time and submitted an application in January 2011, he said, noting that they are currently still “at the drawing board” with regard to how the erven will be used.

“We will be able to provide more details in six months time,” he advised.

Although bulk services are in place at the boundary of the block, no internal services for water, sewerage and electricity supply are in place yet. A diagram of the area and the subdivision of erven will also still have to be approved by the SurveyorGeneral, before the transfer of the property can be registered. This could take up to 36 months.

According to the terms of sale, the buyer will still have to submit layout plans, details of civil service infrastructure and drawings of the buildings for approval to the municipality's en-gineering department. The installation of external and internal services, such as water and electrical supply will have to be completed within 24 months from the date of sale and the whole project will have to be completed within a minimum period of 48 months or a maximum of 72 months.

Pending the subdivision of the area by Council's engineering department, the property would then be transferred to Mr Kathindi for the purposes of “township development”.

Farewell Mr Grobbies Madelaine Laubscher

A well known and respected Walvis Bay resident, Mr Willem Grobbelaar (photo), sadly passed away at the age of 89 last week Friday.

Mr Grobbelaar, also known as Grobbies, had been ill for quite some time.

According to a family member, due to his age (89) and being ill, he drew his last breath on Friday. The newspaper had an interview with his son to talk about his involvement in the community and the footprints he left behind.

Mr Grobbelaar was born on 12 September 1924 in Williston, South Africa. According to his son he finished school there and later moved to Namibia.

“He worked in Windhoek on the railways and then at Pupkewitz. After some time, he decided that he wanted to start his own business. He became a greengrocer in Windhoek. He worked there for approximately ten years and in 1959, we moved to Walvis Bay,” his son said.

Mr Grobbelaar started an enterprise in Walvis Bay including a restaurant, a clothing shop and a general store.

“After he started the enterprise, he converted it to a furniture store. Later on he decided to start a property business. He was the owner of Grobbies Estates, which was one of the first property businesses in town. Later on, it was evident to us that he was becoming ill. This caused him to sell Grobbies Estates four years ago,” he said.

According to his son, he was an active member of the community. “He was a member of the Rotary Club, the Deputy Mayor of Walvis Bay and also used to be the chairman of the

Chamber of Commerce.”

His son added that Mr Grobbelaar literally gave his life to Walvis Bay and worked very hard. The reason he moved to Walvis Bay was because he saw great potential in the coastal town and had a great love for Namibia.

“I believe that he passed away due to his age, but the fact that he was ill contributed towards his passing away.”

According to his son, he worked very hard and he was very business orientated.

“I want people to remember him by the fact that his whole life was dedicated to his work. He was very business orientated and he walked a straight path. He had a tough character, but he was also known as a big gentleman.

His last words to me were “Son, if I wronged anyone, let them know that I am sorry.” I do however believe that he did not treat many people wrongly. He was a fair man, a good person and he set a great example for most people who knew him. He loved to travel. He and his wife used to do everything together.

She passed away a year and seven months ago as well. He was a respected man who also had a lot of respect for others. He was a great family man as his wife, children and pets were very important to him and I would like the community to treasure the memory of my father, Mr Willem Grobbelaar,” he concluded.

Van Schalkwyk killed in plane crash News broke early on Monday morning that an aviation accident had claimed the life of Mr Paul van Schalkwyk [photo], the owner of One Africa TV, on Sunday night.

Invited guests Piquet Jacobs

The plane in which the renowned Namibian photographer and wellknown media personality, Mr van Schalkwyk, was travelling went missing on Sunday over the Etosha Pan in the Oshikoto region.

It is not yet clear what the exact cause of the accident was, but aviation sources indicated yesterday that a police helicopter had been urgently dispatched to the area to investigate the accident.

Mr van Schalkwyk, who was born in 1955, was a keen photographer with a special interest in aerial photography. He spent many years filming a pride of lions in Namibia's Etosha National Game Reserve and had furthermore relished the task of documenting the political transformation that preceded Namibian Independence.

Take heed Madelaine Laubscher

Mr Eben Platt, the Chief traffic officer of the Municipality of Walvis Bay called on the public to adhere to the traffic rules and regulations and warned that the institution will be paying close attention to ignorant road users.

Mr Platt told the newspaper that a `professional authorisation document` must be applied for by anyone driving a taxi, a breakdown vehicle or any vehicle weighing over 35 000kg/ gross vehicle mass. Regardless of extra heavy vehicles, everyone driving a vehicle above 35 000 kg/ gross vehicle mass is obligated to apply for the professional authorisation. It is valid for two years and must be renewed every two years. This include taxis, minibusses seating twelve people or more that are transporting passengers for payment, and breakdown vehicles. It will

be indicated on your licence whether you have applied for the professional authorisation or not. If you are obligated to apply and you don't, the fine for this is N$2 000.

According to Mr Platt, everyone driving a taxi or a breakdown vehicle will be closely monitored.

“You must be 21 years of age to drive a taxi.

You must adhere to the traffic rules. We are sending out an operational team to reprimand anyone not abiding by the rules.” He also said that all employers must ensure that their employees have suitable transport such as minibusses, instead of letting

them stand or sit on the open back of a truck. “If you must stand, the back of the truck must be closed up to 900mm. We will reprimand everyone not abiding by this rule. We cannot allow more injuries or fatalities to occur. I urge the employers to consider getting minibusses for them. We will remove the vehicle from the road if the rules are not followed and see that the employees' safety is at risk. Some truck drivers are only allowed to carry two passengers with him as is stated on the licence. We will be on the lookout to see whether this rule is being adhered to. The driver will be fined if

this rule is abused, in order to send a clear message to the owner of the business.

Therefore, we ask in advance, please take this into consideration” said Platt.

He also warned cyclists to follow and adhere to the rules and regulations. “In the mornings it is still quite dark and school children using bicycles to travel to school are hard to spot.

Therefore, they must wear a helmet at all times.

They bicycles should be equipped with a back and front light. The bicycle must have reflectors and lights and the child must wear a helmet at all times. It is

advised that they wear light-coloured clothing as well.”

Mr Platt also mentioned that the scholar patrols at schools are there for children to pass and not for motorists to speed over. “Please be patient when passing a scholar patrol. Rather go slow instead of killing a child.”

Although it has been Mr Eben Platt, the Chief traffic officer of the Munimentioned before, Mr cipality of Walvis Bay giving instructions about Platt stated that it cannot painting road markings be mentioned enough.

Status of Road Deaths in Namibia clarified The NRSC and the MVA Fund has taken note of recent reports published in various media houses citing the World Life Expectancy website http://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com.

According to the NRSC and the MVA Fund the information contained in the mentioned WHO website is inaccurate, misleading and detrimental to Namibia's good image and reputation.

The NRSC, the MVA Fund and indeed the line Ministry of Works and Transport is concerned about the escalating road carnage in Namibia. Based on data collected at various points including crash scenes, hospitals, the Namibian Police and claims submitted to the MVA Fund, we are of the opinion that the situation has not reached the proportions as purported in the citations above and the resultant recent media reports. Furthermore, both the NRSC as the final custodian of national accident data and the Fund being the final recipient of all road crash related data in Namibia have never contributed to data held by the WHO's department of Measurement and Health Information before the rankings were released, and therefore cannot conclusively support same. It is true that Namibia is in fact in a road carnage crisis, but not to the level depicted in the citation and subsequent media reports. To this end, the NRSC, the MVA Fund and all key stakeholders are tirelessly working towards stabilising the situation as per the aspirations and objectives of the Namibian Chapter of the Decade of Action for road safety 20112020.

The rankings which were released by the World Health Organisation in 2012 and based on road crash data for the year 2011, Namibia's fatality rate per 100 000 population was pegged at 25.00 and ranked at 35th in the world and third in SADC, behind South Africa and Lesotho. In contrast, according to the data at our disposal the country's

fatality rate per 100 000 population stood at 23.28.

The difference is due to the fact that WHO collected data using estimated population numbers and use other formulas to accommodate underreporting, while we used actual population figures without corrective measures released after the 2011 census. It baffles us as to how the rate jumped from 25 to 45 over such a short period. It is important to note that even with the slight difference in the figures, Namibia's ranking will not be at the top of the table, compared to countries such as South Africa and Lesotho.

An illustration of the trend in the fatalities per 100 000 population recorded during the past five years indicates an upward trend in the fatality rates between 2012 and 2013. The lowest was recorded in 2008 at which time the fatality rate stood at 13.01. There was however a

sharp increase in 2009 and 2010 with a slight decrease in 2011. The fatality rate per hundred thousand populations currently stands at 30.01, however with the upsurge recorded in fatalities over the past few months, this is likely to increase.

Types of crashes: In terms of the highest types of crashes in Namibia, pedestrian related crashes top the list, accounting for 31% of all total crashes recorded in the country followed by rollovers and head on collisions at 29% and 9% respectively.

In fact, head on collision only account for 4% of all road crashes as illustrated below. Pedestrians: Actual 1074 Percentage 31%, Roll Over: 1016 Percentage 29%, Head side collision: 306 Percentage 9%, With Animal (wild): 196 Percentage 6%, Head rear collision: 188 Percentage 5%, With fixed object (specify): 160 Percentage 5%, Head on

The latest data indicates that the number of crashes is increasing at an average of 16.3% per annum, although there is a slight decrease from 2012 to 2013. This may however prove insignificant as the number of injuries is increasing at an average rate of 14.6% per annum. There were 1065 crashes in 2009, 2689 in 2010, 2902 in 2011, 3547 in 2012 and 4384 in 2013. There were 3538 injuries in 2009, 5125 in 2010, 5659 in 2011, 5652 in 2012 and 5845 in 2013.

There were 525 fatalities in 2009, 539 in 2010, 492 in 2011, 561 in 2012 and 634 in 2013.

It is important to note that road safety needs a multifaceted approach as per Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020.

For us to improve our road safety performance in the long run there is a need for Namibia to build a long lasting road safety culture.

To this end approval has been given by the Ministry of Education to incorporate road safety in the National school curriculum from grade 1 up to 12. In addition

the NRSC, MVA Fund, Namibian Police and the Roads Authority are moving towards consolidating efforts and mobilise strategic partners to tackle the escalating road carnage through sustainable year long interventions.

The collaborating during the last festive season was used to pilot the concept. Regrettably most road crashes are attributable to human error, therefore our appeal to road users, be it drivers, pas-

sengers or pedestrians is for them to play their part by making right decisions.

Drivers should be considerate of other road users and give them the choice to live. Likewise, passengers should make that choice of life by speaking to the driver to slow down or pull off when tired. For pedestrians, the choice is to use pedestrian crossing points, wearing bright coloured clothes at night and be vigilant.

Damian doing fine Anri Jacobs

During the weekend mom Roswitha shared some good news with us about Damian Sagners (pictured) condition. After going through a heart operation almost two weeks ago, strong little Damian has now been released from the ICU of Sunninghill Hospital in Johannesburg.

The cardiologist has discharged Damian on Friday on the condition that he is seen at the hospital every day for check-ups for the next two weeks.

Roswitha shared that the cardiologists believes that Damian will recover faster in a home setting. “After a lot of stress to arrange everything to get out of the hospital, Damian is much more relaxed now.

We are staying in a guesthouse close to the hospital, in case of an emergency, and since I am a nurse myself, the cardiologist agreed to this move. It is very early after such a difficult operation to say anything, but after the operation Damian was hysteric. This move will help him relax and heal faster, he almost immediately became better,” said Roswitha. She added that he is one of a kind.

He is the only child in Namibia with who has gone through this type of heart operation. According to her Germany has a population of 84 million and of that number there are only 500 cases of people living with the same rare heart condition that Damian has.

“This once again shows how rare Damian's condition is and how thankful we can be that he is still with us today, also how well he is doing under circumstances.

A challenge set forth After reading the article about Beauty Gowases in the Namib Times (4 March), Danny Beukes decided that he had to do something, and invited (and also challenge) others to do the same.

Beukes of Sanlam Namibia (Eminent Financial Services) pledged and paid a donation of N$1 000 toward taking care of Beauty while she is faced with all her challenges. “My heart goes out to children, and what I really admire about the mom is that she puts in some effort for her daughter to try and raise funds.

This cannot be easy for her, and that's why I decided to make a small difference in their lives, and the amount donated is quite substantial given the small turnover against which my CC operates,” commented Beukes.

Danny is challenging other business people to match, or better his contribution of N$1 000, and even individuals are welcome to join in the effort

and are encouraged to donate at least N$50. We cannot say that we have enjoyed life, if we pass the chance to give a little girl a chance for a better future, and her condition is not related to any wrongdoing on her parents' side. I have so much to be thankful for, especially a healthy child, and I do not take this for granted…what if it was my kid?'' The application for a trust fund is quite lengthy, and there are current plans underway to apply for it, but the needs of Beauty are immediate.

Donations can in the interim be made to: Beauty Gowases. FNB Walvis Bay (Cheque) Account no 62243609776.

Regardless of any obstacles this young man keeps on fighting day after day!” she said.

Last week she shared "Yesterday I got the first smiles from Damian.

The most beautiful present my child could give. He gets better now, due to a lot of sleep. Unfortunately he takes a lot of medication too and together with the post-op syndrome he started getting abdominal cramps. He still does not want to eat, only drinking his milk. Lost already 1, 5 kg... Tried to walk today, but he is still too shaky... Daddy had to fly back home on Wednesday morning. So it's again little Lionheart and me against all the odds... Missing Daddy/Adolf already.”

Roswitha thanked everyone around the world who have donated so generously to the Okanti Foundation and the Care Damian Sagner Fund!

She further said, “The financial backup created by each and every donation gives the family peace of mind that even though the medical aid may not cover everything 100%, there are sufficient funds to do extra tests, get expensive medicine or even allow mum and dad to stay with Damian in Johannesburg for as long as the cardiologist requires it.

THANK YOU.”

Let people be who they want to be!

I have said it before and I will say it again "THE BIGGEST HOMOPHOBES ARE THE BIGGEST HOMOS".

What sort of man claims to be straight yet bitch about another man's sexual orientation? The sexual discrimination and inequality in this era is still a puzzle to me. I still remember us black folk being seen as animals, being tortured just because we were black. Oh I do remember how we were excommunicated from society and regarded as nothing but black filth.

Our forefathers fought for our equality From Martin Luther King to Nelson Mandela to Andimba Toivo ya Toivo so that we could be proud to live free and in harmony. Many things were done to us, many said to us for the mere fact of being black. Today yet we the very same black folk hate people for loving each other and wanting to be with

each other. We, the very same people that were oppressed by the white folk for being black are the same joining the gang of homophobes.

Yet just yesterday we the black folk had no right just because we are black. And today we tell our brothers and sisters they cannot fall in love with whom they please?

Sounds to me like a cycle of oppression, the oppressed become the oppressors. Yet we talk about reconciliation and humanity. I know some fool will come up here and talk about "gays are evil" another will probably insult me for stating a mere fact! Hold your homophobizm.

Think. Think. We all live in a world with people.

Whether you like it or not in each and every family there is a crack.

Let it be a murder or, rapist, gay/lesbian. It's because we are not

perfect beings. We were all born sinners!

Who has put you in charge of God's throne to judge? Who told you are perfect?

FLASH LIGHT- You are not perfect so don't expect others to be!

One thing is for sure.

Until the day people can love whom they choose to without any discrimination and marry whom they love no matter what sex they are from, we will continue to live in an oppressed world! And one more thing - BEING GAY IS NOT A WHITE THINK NOR IS IT A THING FROM THE WEST. If it was it would have stayed there. Before you make some homophobic slur just ask yourself one question - Who am I without any fault that passes judgement?

Urgent to all parents Dear parents, please allow me to share the following with you. My child was on her way back to school for afternoon activities. On her way, while walking on the pavement, a young man approached her from the front and she started to cross the road to walk to the other side. He called out to her and when she looked back at him, he “flashed” her. That means he opened his pants and showed her his private parts. This heavily upset her to the point that she had a breakdown at school. I just want to warn all the parents and teenage girls that this is happening in our community in Walvis Bay. We should all be aware of this and report it to the police immediately when it happens. Please let us pray daily for our children's protection.

Namib Times Facebook Reader’s Comments HAVE YOUR SAY What is your view on the government's decision to construct a new parliament building at the cost of N$640 million?

Hazeldine Dientjie Poplap Binneman The government want to build a parliament, but the schools and hospitals look like crap. Namcol doesn't even have proper books not even the school. There is few job opportunities because people can't finish school because of poor quality! Food and petrol price goes up and salaries stay the same! The government can buy new cars but won't upgrade the living conditions of Namibia. That N$640 million dollars can be used on schools and hospitals!!!

Then Adults wants to be responsible but our government isnt...

'A-molline Menongongo Ngongoo Uaaka May God wipe away us poor Namibians tears who are being oppressed by those in power. Why can't they use the money to service LAND, create employment, give loans to those who wants to start enterprises Fransiscus Angelus Mpahleni Our views?, we can complain, march and write a petiti0n to da president..da government will stisl build that parliament..our voices are never heard Elgrego Wayne Swartz Maybe that's exactly what should be done. I think it's about time we actually make our voices heard instead of complaining behind closed doors.

Birgit Henckert The problem is: Most of the people will vote again for the same party, coz they believe in it...........here comes education again, on which the government isn't prepared to spend a single cent!

Lea Spangenberg Namibians are starving, living on the streets, pensioners have to get by on basics every month, tax payers are struggling to keep up... this is seriously ridiculous.

Michael O'Mike McNab What they gonna do with the one that is already there, they just want to spend money on things that really does not benefit society at large cause I don't see the need for a new parliament building at all, that money can be used on something else, eg. increase the old age pensions with a N$50.00.

Brendon Scott That's more than 600 families they could have housed. Millions of mouths that could be fed, the country could be up lifted. There is enough vacant buildings.

Rita Sowden Disgrace, all you old Swapo oupas! Dont you old folks think you wasted and misused our money enough? Go on pension of $600.00 and let us have a new younger government to lead us. Namibia became a country of old overweight men ,it seems. Rather take care of the pensioners and the people who voted you in.

The government are a disgrace. Shame on you! Old oupas.

Justine Frentemaid Swartbooi Well said...all thts realy insane, hospitals need to be renovate, no equipment in some hospitals....nonononono...plz do smethng abt education nd health situations we r facing....

Veglia Soutter Tjo wat gan da aan. En as dit kla gebou is nog n verdere 2mil vi di inwyding davan. Plus hle di oumens geld ordentlik verhoog en skole verbeter. Ma mense oral gan dit ma so korup in di regerings. Dis hukm ek ni eers register.

Oliver Nederlof It is a disgrace. That money could be use for more important things like building proper houses for those who live in shacks, maybe creating jobs for those who lost or maybe didn't have jobs. It is not necessary!!! There is nothing wrong with the current building! !!! Government stop using our money for unimportant things and use it for more important things like in education, job creation. Keep this up and you will lose votes.

Raython van Wyk That thing is expensive. say one day i am in Windhoek need i need shelter for night. will i be allowed to use the state building. on the 10 of December i was at the parliament gardens for a wedding. i urgently need a toilet. i ask a security where is the toilets he told me there are no toilets but behind that house is a plastic pipe that you can use. i pay tax in many ways but i cant even use a toilet at the gardens.

Giovanni Scholtz Our infrastructure is not up to date but we want to waste money on Buildings that we don't need.

The current Structure is still functioning. On the roads topic the Question is asked why our roads are so dangers...well!! The Luderitz railway line is not finished after 10years +, in Walvis bay the AIrport is also still under contraction after 10 years. At this rate we are aiming for "VISION 2080" Philgentuis Kahambundu Colonial inherited building, wht they smoking up there?Then I suppose we need to rebuild the whole country because everything here is pre-

independence Jens La Barré A government by the people BUT certainly not for the people. There are many more pressing issues such as education and health care.

Paul Hotshot Van Biljon If there are N$640 million available , then why not spend it on drought/feeding scheme, increase the old age pension from N$600/month to at least N$2000, buy better police and ambulance vehicles, increase the salary of essential government personnel, why not create a few new jobs, subsidise petrol... there are far better ways to utilise N$640 million.

Birgit Henckert If something isn't broken, there's no need to fix/ replace it....... rather spend the money on housing for the poor, education, health, increase the pension, rather spend the money in a way that it uplifts the Country as a whole!!! Nothing wrong with the parliament building that is there!!!

Shavuka Ndishishi I am not against Development within the country, but i think it should have make sense if they were to provide Land for everybody wth all those millions dollar, shelter is a National issue like all those passasion killings and they need to be adressed wth an emegerncy plan. Construction of Parliament is a disagrace to the whole Nation.

Anneen Esterhuizen I think it's absolutely selfish...why? Why construct a new parliament when we need so many other buildings like schools & daycare, especially in Katutura! We know of so many children that need a proper school where they can be safe during the day, have food to eat and be taken care of. Besides that we have terrible service delivery. Why not improve home affairs??!! We have litterally thousands of more needy projects that would benefit 100 times more with even less money!!

Lisa Fequissa I think there is penty of things to do with that huge amount...check our educations system, hospitalsa, roads in the urban areas...why does the GRN members only think about them self & step us down on our heads…poor just stay poor.

Charon Kock Gebruik di geld vi di oumense.Ek skaam my dood vi d min geld wat hule kry,da wil hule ons tax geld op sulke gemors uitgee,di gebou wat hule nou gebruik makeer niks!!!

Laurence Theron Madness. They cant even judge the criminals there is not enough school not enough hospitals not enough medicine but they have money to give away to the chinese cause its only them that are getting the contracts. We as namibians can do the same jobs if not better.

Zupha Candice Nicole Camm Dis rerigtig pateties! di staats hospitaal lyk soos n lykhys want da is ni alle toerusting om di mense te help,di grn skoole lyk soos gemors,lite werk ni,toilets is vrot vuil en stukend,paint dop af,ou mense kry ma cente en so stuig di pryse vi kos en petrol ma hul wil n gebou bou van hoeveel mil vi mense om gemaklik te gan sit en wat doen? nee rerig pateties.

Alicia Alikatt Van Wyk Raython van Wyk The money they will use for that is from the taxes you paid last year....and its a complete waste of money! If they feel the need to upgrade or renovate the old parliament then by all means do so, but why build a new one? Its the State House thing all over again....the politicians are just trying to remove all signs of the German Regime from our country.

Brandon Kruger Waste of money. They don't need the best of everything. Rather help those who need it.

We waste our money we work for on tax so that they can live in pleasure? Screw that.

Niclaas Van der Westhuizen Believe me. I dislike it to a large extend. I don't see democracy. I would rather suggested that they build more houses, with easy repayment loans through the bank. Is that not what other African states are doing of currently?

Ras Simon Tjiueza Just mass demonstrations cos poor people r drive away frm land wich was the foundation of liberation struggle were we gonna live we beta hv people who can take care of us as namibians not like elites its time fr action not just to talk alot it wil neva help Deidre De Jager Drennen No matter how ridiculous we think this is, it will not change anything! They should be ashamed - rather feed the poor and improve the education system, wake up and look at your people!

From Hip Hop to Contemporary Anri Jacobs

On Friday night students from Kim's Dance and Fitness classes entertained crowds with a variety of dances for all tastes. The show was opened by the well-known Trio Feminale with light classical music.

Kim Garny managed to have 13 of her dancer students transform from little princesses right into hip hop dancers!

They jumped from hip hop to contemporary and back into deep classical, all in one flow. Apart from the amazing dancers, there were also live performances from Trio Feminale as well as a live performance of one Linda Ritter's music school's bands.

Throughout the night the dancers told stories by doing what they do best, expression through dance!

It was a show for all ages and tastes with modern upbeat music putting you on the edge of your seat followed by feeling like you are witnessing a classy night at the ballet.

PASSING IT ON: Wanderers II scrumhalf Rem van Finkenstem gets his backline moving in the match against Kudus II . Wanderers won 19-7.

Wanderers slaughter Kudus Otis Finck

Kudus were dealt a double blow by a wellorganised and structured visiting Wanderers club, brimming with experienced national players and confidence, in Narraville on Saturday.

The Wanderers Premier League side under the mentorship of the former Blue Bulls and Griquas outside center JP Nel recorded a convincing 27-0 victory and the First League side a 197 victory over their Kudu counterparts in the first matches of the NRU season played at the coast.

Flyhalf Jan Neetling recorded the first points via his boot for Wanderers II. He converted a penalty in the 11th minute of the game and added a second one in the 17th minute. The gigantic and former national player Lock Nico Esterhuizen who stands 2,04m tall in his boots, dominated the lineouts for Wanderers and ensured adequate

CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP: Wanderers Head Coach JP Nel. Jacobus Paulus (JP) Nel (born 9 January 1981 Worcester, SA) is a former South African Rugby Union footballer, who regularly played as a center. He made his first class debut for Western Province in 2000 and made almost two hundred first class appearances between 2000 and 2013. He played for the Blue Bulls (78 appearances and scored 197 points) in the domes-tic Currie Cup and Vodacom Cup competitions and for the Bulls (78 appearances and scored 75 points) in Super Rugby between 2001 and 2009. He had two seasons at NTT Shining Arcs (19 appearances and scored 45 points) in the Japanese Top League and a further two seasons for Griquas in the Currie Cup. He retired after the 2013 Currie Cup season.

possession for his backline. National U20 players Pierre Burger and Quinton Esterhuizen added further depth and attacking flair for Wanderers. Flyhalf Marvin Bruwer pushed Wanderers back with some accurate kicking but Kudus failed to convert the territorial advantage he earned for them into points.

Outside centre Marvin Muller intercepted a pass and crashed over for the first try of the match on behalf of Kudus. Bruwer added the conversion and established a one point lead (7-6) for Kudus at the break.

Wanderers captain and lock Francois Heinrich barged over for his side’s first try and restored their lead (11-7). Neetling failed to add the conversion. Full back

Jandre van Eck added a second try for Wanderers and stretched their lead to 9 points (16-7). Neetling failed to add the conversion but added a penalty in the dying stages of the match and made the score 19-7.

Unam started their 2014 Rugby Premier League campaign with a 50-21 victory against Polytech at the Unam Stadium on Saturday.Unam ran in eight tries and collected maximum bonus points.

Fecht bt Johan Swane-

Doeseb has been at the helm of the NPL as Chairman since 2008. As a former club owner, and passionate football fan he has been at the forefront of negotiating a mega deal with main sponsor MTC that saw the telecommunications company invest over N$40 million for the next 3 years, the highest investment ever made by any corporate into sports in Namibia.

He has been praised in football circles for his desire to turn the MTC Premier league into a professional entity managed on business principles, preaching professionalism to the clubs.

Asked why he has decided to step down, Doeseb cited some of the reasons as lack of professionalism at club level to do the basics right, a lack of serious commitment from teams at BOG level in terms of building a strong football brand and the clear lack of development structures in Namibian football.

Almost all the teams sit back and all they do is wait for MTC's monthly grants and they do absolutely nothing to generate their own revenues and when their monthly grants are a few days late they complain instead of doing something to sustain themselves.

We have a sponsor that invest so much in Namibian football and all we give them is empty stadiums week in and week out which is not fair.

If you invest so much into football and all you get is backstabbing and rumourmongering from people at the highest level of football who you are supposed

to share the same vision with, it becomes fruitless to make such worthy investments.

We cannot maintain the current status quo if we are serious about taking football to the next level, and I can therefore not sit back and pretend everything is fine, our football needs lots of money and a good leadership and in the lack of both we are wasting our time. I would like to applaud MTC for what they are doing for sports in Namibia, the prophets of doom are quick to call MTC names, they want them to invest and shut up, but without MTC sports will be dead and we cannot pin the entire country's hopes on one corporate, said Doeseb.

He thanked the few individuals within Namibian football structures who shared the same vision and drive with him, and urged them to continue fighting the good fight. He also thanked all football fans, supporters and the general public for the support they have granted him during his Chairmanship, and wished the new Chairperson all the best.

“Many have laughed with me and secretly gone behind my back to plan how to oust me as Chairman for their own gains, well I am now making it easier for them to step down honourably so that I allow their broken bulbs to shine. I will not be lost to football because there are many other ways that I can make my contribution and I will continue to do so because football is my life”, he concluded.

Pirates dodge Arrows Otis Finck

Orlando Pirates pocketed maximum points with a hard earned 2-1 away victory against Eleven Arrows in Kuisebmond on Saturday.

Nicky Musambani and Gustav Isaak scored for Pirates. Donald Geiseb replied for Arrows. Both teams came out attacking and produced a fast flowing passing game of football. Arrows were in control in the early stages of the match and forced two free kicks on the edge of the box in the 2nd and 4th minutes but failed to capitalise.

Donald Geiseb came close to handing Arrows and early lead in the 6th minute but had his shot cleared from the line by Pirates defender Knowledge Mutyoraringa.

The yellow cards continued to flow with Pirates players Areseb receiving one for a dangerous tackle on substitute Chaizlain Gogoseb in the 52nd minute and Kahua also receiving one for a tackle on Gogoseb in the 57th minute.
