It’s all systems go for the construction of their planned fuel retail facility says Nardo Sardinha, the spokesperson for the developers, Tidle Wave Investment Ninety (Pty) Ltd. “Building will hopefully start after final plans have been submitted in January 2015.”

The group of eleven shareholders was one of several proponents who reacted to the initial advertisement by the Municipality of Walvis Bay in April 2008, “for Expression of Interest to submit a development

proposal for Erf 162, Langstrand, for business related activities.”

Tidle Wave was one of three proponents shortlisted, and to the excitement and happiness of the group, the one chosen to buy and develop

the more than 10 000 square meters.

Now, after a process spanning more than 6 years, the project is a reality. A full Environmental Impact Assessment was done by GEO Pollution Technologies

Namibia, and in October the developer received the long-awaited environmental clearance, as the last step in the scoping process for the construction of the fuel retail facility, at a cost of more than 50

million Namibian dollar.

“This is really commendable and other companies, attaining fishing quotas, should follow in your footsteps,” Mr Esau remarked. African Horizon acquired 20% of a horse-mackerel fishing quota, alongside four other companies, under the umbrella of Sinco Investment, during 2012.

Mrs Lucia Radovanovic, African Horizon’s chairperson, acknowledged Minister Esau for his input in the fishing industry, in spite of some

negative criticism.

She remarked that Karibib was the perfect location for a fish factory, since it was centrally located between Walvis Bay and the capital city.

She further pointed out the fact that the factory was sited only a stone’s throw from the Karibib railway station, which would enable them to easily get access to their cargo.

She, as well as the other speakers urged the Karibib community to support and appreciate the factory and shop.

Erongo Salvage donates to Kid’s Haven Piquet Jacobs

Erongo Salvage CC, an SME and BEE certified closed corporation, made the effort to visit the Kid’s Haven orphanage and to donate an amount of N$10 000 towards the needs of the orphanage.

It is the time of giving - and the owner, Grant Knowles, felt the need to adhere to the plight of this local orphanage.

The generosity extended bears the company’s social responsibility as well as a hallmark of Knowles’ persona.

The company wishes to afford a change and a chance to the future of society’s most vulnerable and wished the staff a merry Christmas and a prosperous new year.

The company has challenged other companies to extend a helping

hand to the orphanage, which is always in need of assistance.

The orphanage houses children from the whole Erongo region, and sometimes has a huge number of vulnerable children in their care.

Desert Rose – Voorlegging aan Walvisbaai Stadsraad Leandrea Louw

Dit het aan die lig gekom dat Desert Rose Investments (Pty) Ltd, Dinsdag by die Walvisbaai-munisipaliteit 'n voorlegging gedoen het oor sy omstrede Desert Rose-projek, en hulle voorstel oor die ontwikkeling van die afgebakende gebied aan die stadsraad uiteengesit het.

Photos by Leandrea Louw

Second door for Mass houses Marshallino Beukes Following President Pohamba's outrage and disappointment regarding the fact that the Mass Housing Project houses in Walvis Bay did not have back doors, the South African building contractor, 7Sirs and the National Housing Enterprise (NHE) got to the task and started inserting second doors to the houses.

The president slated the above-mentioned companies at the recent handing-over ceremony of eighty-nine of the 1 595 houses, to be constructed at Walvis Bay.

Sixty-seven of the 210 houses which are already completed, were built with only a front door.

The president was furious and wanted to know why the houses had no fire escape, in the form of a back door.

“You are playing with people's lives here, what will happen in case of a fire?” he asked.

The beneficiaries were very pleased with the president's intervention and welcomed the newlyconstructed back doors.

Die Desert Rose-projek, sluit die ontwikkeling van 'n golfbaan, 'n konvensiesentrum en akkommodasie-eenhede, en 'n restaurant, in die gebied tussen Langstrand en Swakopmund in.

Die gebied is staatsgrond, maar is geleë in die Dorob Nasionale Park en sluit 'n afgebakende gebied in, wat 'n belangrike Damarasterretjie-broeiplek is.

Met die bekendstelling van die Dorob Nasionale Park 'n paar jaar gelede, het die destydse Minister van Omgewingsake, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, verklaar dat geen strandgebiede langs die Namibiese kus verder aan stedelike ontwikkeling blootgestel sal word nie.

Namibia Environmental Health Consultants (NEHC) het 'n tyd gelede 'n advertensie geplaas, waarin die publiek uitgenooi is om as belanghebbende en geaffekteerde partye te registreer.

Diegene wat geregistreer het, sou die geleentheid kry om hul menings en bekommernisse te lug, as deel van 'n proses van openbare vergaderings oor die voorgestelde ontwikkeling.

Die Namibiëse Omgewingswet sê tydens omgewingsimpakstudies moet openbare

debat, en die voortspruitende kommentaar, kommer wat uitgespreek word en alternatiewe voorstelle, deel uitmaak van die proses en studie..

Daar is voorheen berig dat, hoewel die betrokke gebied binne die Walvisbaai distrik val, dit buite die munisipale grense lê. 'n Paar jaar gelede is besluit dat die gebied tussen die noordelike deel van Langstrand en die Swakop-rivier nie beskikbaar sou wees vir ontwikkeling nie, weens sy sensitiewe aard.

Daarbenewens was die

Walvisbaai- munisipale raad ook na bewering nie direk ingelig oor die planne nie.

Mnr Kevin Adams, woordvoerder van die munisipaliteit het bevestig dat die Raad inderdaad Dinsdag ingelig is oor die voorstel, tydens – wat hy genoem het - informele gesprekke.

"Die gebied is buite die munisipale grense en die besluit oor die vraag óf die Desert Roseprojek voort sal gaan of nié, berus uitsluitlik in die hande van die Ministerie van Omgewingsake en Toerisme”.

Thieves Target Schools Leandrea Louw

!Nara Primary School in Kuisebmond fell prey to thieves yesterday afternoon, during broad daylight.

Mr Visagie, a teacher and HOD at the school said that the thieves carefully removed a window and gained entry to one of the classrooms.

All they removed from the classroom was the door and luckily nothing else. No charge was laid at the Police. In another incident, on Tuesday and Wednesday thieves gained access to De Duine Secondary School

in Narraville, but luckily the alarm alerted the security company who quickly responded.

Mr Van Wyk, Principal of De Duine said that they gained access, by removing the aluminum window.

It is alleged that both schools were victims of the same group of thieves, based on the similarities both schools has been gained access to.

Adams, het gesê die Munisipaliteit is bewus van die probleem en sal sorg dat duideliker padtekens opgesit word, totdat die pad herstel is.

me it was my colleague and I speaking to each other.

The scammer first sent me an SMS, asking for airtime and then sent the same to my colleague.

Young coastal leaders Permits Obtaining Fishing

Piquet Jacobs

Obtain a permit from the Namibian Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources (MFMR) to catch fish or dive for crayfish and respect harvesting limitations.

Young Achievers, a youth-led organisation that was founded in 2004, strives in providing young people with the opportunity to master their future and fully participate in youth development initiatives.

The Walvis Bay branch was awarded with a grant by the Municipality of Walvis Bay Environmental Fund, and received N$15 000 towards their solar jar project; an innovative solar powered lighting device which provides reading light and is considered much safer than candles and by extension this solution could help reduce

shack-fire incidences.

The Young Achievers Walvis Bay branch was inaugurated in July 2012, they meet every Sunday at the Multi Purpose centre in Kuisebmond to inspire and motivate the youth to have a sense of vision and mission in their lives.

During these sessions, all activities are focused on the three key

areas of skills development being: intellectual skills, professional skills and social skills.

They have three objectives, which is to provide young people with a vision and a sense of mission in life; to inspire and motivate young people to become responsible citizens, both locally, regionally and globally; as well as to support

young people in their personal growth in positive directions.

The organisation has managed to decentralise its concept and opened branches in Ongwediva, Ondangwa, Tsumeb, Rundu, Zambia, with Windhoek being the

main branch.

The organisation believes that the entire Namibian youth fully deserve equal opportunities both educationally and in youth development, and continues to spread its culture to other towns.

Ehika Fishing Thanksgiving service Madelaine Laubscher

Ehika Fishing, in partnership with Mac Fishing, hosted a thanksgiving service at the Pelican Bay Hotel on Tuesday for the Widows Trust and to celebrate the company’s achievements throughout 2014.

The directors of Ehika Fishing, Mr Edward Van Wyk and Mr Rojo Van Wyk, delivered a heartfelt speech about the impact that the late Mr Clive Johannes (director), who passed away early this year had on the company.

Edward Van Wyk said, “it is a privilege to stand here today and commemorate another year and to enjoy a meal while catching up.

The late Mr Johannes’ sons represent him in his absence as we carry his image with us.

2014 was not an easy year as we had to say goodbye to Clive who

left a huge gap, as he was the one who would bring balance where needed.

However we are still standing strong and looking forward to the future. The trust is meant for any widow that was left behind by fishermen who passed on, thus the widows do not have to worry about their wellbeing,” he said.

Rojo Van Wyk said “regarding the way forward, we are waiting for the fishing quotas which will be announced before 20 December. Based on that, we will be able to plan ahead.

Ehika Fishing is a holding company aiming to become a production company. We want to become more productive and will fight to prove ourselves worthy,” Rojo said.

The son of the late Clive Johannes, Mr Collis Johannes, gave a word of thanks to everyone present.

“It is a privilege to stand here today. I try to fill my dad’s shoes, but it is just too big to fill. He was someone special. I want to thank Rojo and Edward and all who made this day possible.

We need to build each other instead of break

WHY? The marine resources are limited and currently some of them are overfished or over collected.

It is necessary that everybody uses them wisely and carefully to secure the future harvesting needs by protecting the stock. Quantity/number of marine resources harvestable, minimum size limits of fish and crayfish that can be caught, open season etc. help to manage stocks to avoid the total disappearance of some species in our waters.

Do not leave bait or fish on the beach!

Either take it home or return it to the sea. This food attracts scavengers like jackals and gulls that prey on other bio-diversity. When you are back home after the holiday, it also inflates the predator population.

Thank you!

Dear animal loving friends. The Walvis Bay SPCA would like to take this opportunity to say a very heartfelt and sincere THANK YOU. There are no words, which can describe how much every single person’s help / donation / sponsorship and support throughout the past year, is appreciated.

We have achieved SO much in just a few months.

The SPCA makeover is almost complete, and this was only possible due to all the support from the kind-hearted community of Walvis Bay. It will be impossible to mention names as there are just so many. You all know who you are. All of us did what we did, because we care deeply for animals and we care what happens to the animals. We are their voice.

The total cost of the Walvis Bay S.P.C.A. makeover to date is N$172 804.60.

Most of this was paid for by our very supportive and caring community. We do however have a few outstanding bills, which we would love to settle before the year 2014 ends.

So if there are any ‘Good Samaritans’ who would also like to be part of this wonderful journey of refurbishment, please do contact the Walvis Bay S.P.C.A. Our “For the Love of Animals” Musical Festival was a huge success and from this we made a total of N$106 304.95,

Banke sal huis in orde moet kry

of which N$90 635.99 were expenses, which gave us a total of N$15 668.96 in profit, which were also used towards our makeover.

Maand na maand moet lojale kliënte van sekere banke soos bedelaars in ellelang rye vir hul swaarverdiende geld bakhand gaan staan en dit blyk asof hierdie banke nie daadwerklike aksie neem om hierdie uiters frustrerende scenario stop te sit nie.

Gaye Eiman-Scholtz: Hoekom gebruik mense nie die facilities wat Banke aan bied nie.

Soos internet banking en swipe met 'n Kaart by 'n winkel en cellphone banking. People that’s why the banks have this to make life easier.

Janine Andrews: Smeer

Students rewriting history - in the Namib Desert

For over 50 years, Gobabeb Research and Training Centre has promoted basic and applied environmental research in the Namib Desert. Johanna Tegan Ithindi is there…

Eighteen years ago, Gobabeb initiated the Summer Desertification Programme (SDP): a research methodology course aimed at bringing together local and international students to gain experience while conducting two months of applied research.

This year, with funding from the Environmental Investment Fund of Namibia (EIF), a group of nine students from local universities are using

methods pioneered 40 years ago at Gobabeb to investigate longterm changes and to understand how fog may affect food chains in one of Namibia’s two World Heritage Sites, the Namib Sand Sea, located in the Namib Desert.

With the global significance of climate change, the 18th SDP project not only wants to measure the change over the past 40 years but also to understand what future changes might occur.

The Namib is the best studied fog desert in the world, but scientists have no idea what might happen if fog decreases.

The warming of the oceans and possible warming of the Benguela upwelling system may have an effect on the Namib dune ecosystem.

To observe changes, a solid baseline must be established, and the students are working hard to achieve this.

The students’ work comprises of more

than research.

In addition, they plan to share their results with the public.

Watch out for further articles and brochures in the coming months.

The SDP 18 students realise that Namibian and par-

ticularly coastal residents may have information to contribute.

If you have something to share about the changing Namib, please send pictures or other information to: ruusag@gobabebtrc. org.

Bernard Kamatoto: Living in hope with HIV 12 DECEMBER 2014

Liesl Losper

Against the background of Aids Awareness week local Aids Activist, Bernard Kamatoto, has his own milestone to celebrate this year. He tested HIV positive 15 years ago, and has since become an inspiring force in the fight against HIV-AIDS. He is devotedly involved in promoting AIDS awareness and fighting for the rights of those who have been infected.

Kamatoto was born in Walvis Bay in 1971. He is a single father of a son and 2 daughters.

On 25 November 1999 his life changed

forever, when he learnt that he was HIV positive.

Kamatoto says his journey hasn’t been an easy one throughout, but he believes

that it has been a fulfilling one till now.

When he received his test results back then he was shattered, but after the shock and tears, he decided to fight.

The only thought that captured his mind was what was going to happen to his family and friends.

“I prayed and asked God to at least let them understand my situation.”

His status shattered his dreams of becoming a professional boxer.

He joined counselling sessions and while attending group therapy sessions he remembered living in constant fear of what the community would say

and how they would label him when his HIV status became known.

Kamatoto's friends and family said that he had not really been an outspoken person, and they noticed the change in him - he accepted and changed to being a man with a cause.

“I can now open up to people in a way I never thought I would be able to – I have much more confidence in myself and I also became more compassionate to other people’s needs”.

Kamatoto urged HIV infected people to take their pills and not to hide from their status.

“The more you hide

the more stress you have in trying to be discreet in taking your pills and refusing to eat this and that because you know that it may affect you.” Bernard has been on ARV treatment for 8 years now.

“I get sick like everyone else with the usual flu, but nothing major, and 2006 was the last time I was sick.”

According to Kamatoto, people find it difficult to believe because he looks healthy and they would never suspect anything.

“When you tell a potential partner your status, some reject you, but many people are open-minded.

The rejection is a stab in the heart, but I pre-

Bernard Kamatoto fer that people make that choice on their own.” Kamatoto says everyone, positive or not, should live their life to the fullest.

“It is the only life you have, once it is gone it will never come back.” We asked Kamatoto what he would like to give as message to HIV

infected persons, he smiled and said, “Acceptance is the first and most important thing in this fight with HIV.” Kamatoto joined the Namibia Networks of AIDS Service Organisations (NANASO) and is also an International AIDS Committee member.

NAMA’s host still unknown…

Namibian Annual Music Awards (NAMA) 2015 had an information session meeting with the artists of the coast in November at the Alte Brücke Resort and Conference Centre in Swakopmund.

With a few days to the deadline for entries, Executive Chairman of the NAMAs, Tim Ekandjo, has expressed disappointment with the low number of entries received so far.

“We are therefore urging artists not to wait for the 11th hour because that is how they make mistakes and submit incomplete entries that will be disqualified.”

The deadline for entries is 15 December and no entries will be accepted after the closing date as artists had the entire month to submit and to qualify. You must have produced/released an album during the time ranges of 1 December 2013 and 30 November 2014.

According to Mr John Ekongo the prize monies for the Best

Male and Female artist have seen a 100% increase, and they will now walk away with a cool N$100 000 each which makes the NAMAs the best rewarding award ceremony on the continent, beating the SAMAs by far whose biggest prize amounts to N$15 000.

Mr Ekandjo said there is a possibility that other category prizes will also be increased and that the organisers are in negotiations with the sponsors.

The 2015 NAMAs have seen the introduction of a new category called “Best Song with a Message” and “Best Musical Event of the Year”.

The 2015 event will take place in either Swakopmund or Ongwediva and the organisers will in due course finalise the

technical assessments in order to make a final decision. Jonas Nakambale aka Jocksman, the famous lyrical rapper, a Swakop

mund resident, said he will be entering for the NAMA awards in the Best Hip-Hop, Best Collaboration and Best Song with a Mes-

“I have previously entered for the awards and although I did not walk away with an award, I will not stop until I reach my target,” he said.

The CD was already finished on 25 November and will officially get launched in Walvis Bay at the Community Hall on 25 December.

Additional launches will be held in Okahao and in Karibib.

The 16-track album was produced under XMP Music in Walvis Bay and consists of perfect December tracks like “Party with me” and “Mbwalakata mbwaku” and is, according to Chippa, guaranteed to keep anyone bold enough to buy a copy glued to the dance floor.

Chippa admitted

that he also loved listening to and was inspired by South African kwaito artists like Msawawa, TKZee and Brown

Dash but said that it was his own personal love for music that really drove him.

According to Element, he started music at a very tender age by playing drums. Music is his passion; he sings Kwaito, Hip-hop and Gospel.

He wrote his first song in 2005 but only released his first single in November last year because he had other commitments which prevented him to release his single.

The title of his single is ‘’End of Love’’ which is about passion killing and features Kingzo and B2Lizo.

Currently, Element is working on his first album which will incorporate 15 tracks; the album will be launched next year in August or September.

The title of the album will be “The power of my dream.’’

Element sees himself on the top of the game within five years and says his aim in music is “not to challenge other people”. “Now is my time to shine and to be a true musician.”

Monthly Monitor: November 2014

In the aftermath of the volatile October, with its stock market correction, we have a mixed global economy, with some areas strengthening and others weakening.

Market Review: The United States (US), on the other hand, has seen a pleasant recovery in its share market due to a continuing economic recovery.

Employment, manufacturing and retail sales are improving and investor confidence is up.

Whilst the European

Union (EU) is still stagnant as a whole, Germany is starting to pick up the pace with a noticeable improvement in investor confidence whilst the European Central Bank (ECB) continues to stimulate.

Japan's economy has officially slipped into a recession over the past

month and the Japanese Yen is depreciating.

Japan's Prime Minister is calling for a parliamentary election and a new mandate to boost weak consumer demand.

With Japan's recession and a slowing China, the demand and prices of resources have taken a nosedive, especially

evident in Brent Crude oil. However, the combination of low inflation and low interest rates on a global scale, along with some growth in the international economy is supportive of share markets.

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

NOTICE CONSENT USES, ERECTION OF BUILDINGS AND USE OF LAND IN TERMS OF TOWN PLANNING SCHEME REGULATIONS Notice is hereby given in terms of Clause 6 of the Swakopmund Town Planning Scheme Regulations that the Town Council considers the following consent uses, erection of buildings and use of land, details of which are obtainable from the General Manager: Engineering Services.

Erf 682, Lüderitz + Leutwein no. 19. Special permission to Andrea H. Hoth and Renate D Strzelecki Contact Person: Mr. A. Van der Westhuizen Tel: +264 (64) 4104403 (Town Planning Officer & Special Projects) Any person having any objections to the proposed steps may lodge such objections, duly motivated in writing, with the Chief Executive Officer until 5 January 2015

The budding market recovery in November has lifted asset and p o r t f o l i o p e r f o rmances. Our capital protection portfolios, which have more safety assets than growth assets, all beat their benchmarks.

For the 12-months period up to 21 November our Conservative+ portfolio did 8.1% on a gross basis, our Cautious gave 9.2%, our Cautious+ 10.4% and our Moderate 11.1%.

Our capital growth portfolios, which have more growth than safety assets, also outperformed their benchmarks.

The Moderate+ portfolio delivered 12% and the Asser-

tive+ 13.1%.

Valuations and Risks: · US US data releases are continually highlighting the strong recovery in the economy even after the Fed has ended their asset purchasing program.

US GDP growth for the third quarter has been revised upwards to 3.9% and their equity market has also broken record after record since the end of the volatile October. · EU The EU is making further use of monetary and fiscal stimulus. Their equity markets have made positive moves as data releases impressed investors.

Germany especially is

taking well to the improved investor and consumer confidence levels. · ASIA Despite Japan slipping into recession, its equity market has been performing well over November.

Slow Chinese growth has called for further economic stimulus through another interest rate cut. Positive Chinese export data has positively affected Asian equity markets. · SA The SA Monetary Policy Committee has kept interest rates on hold, with the repo rate at 5.75%.

The reason is an improving inflation profile (due to low oil and commodity prices), and weak eco-

nomic growth.

In November SA also got a sovereign debt rating downgrade by rating agency Moody's.

The equity market has made a noticeable recovery since the correction experienced in October, but listed property remains the top performing asset class.

Third quarter GDP growth was 1.4%, up from the 0.5% growth in the second quarter, · Commodities Further economic stimulus in China has given commodities a (probably temporary) boost, but the strong US Dollar is limiting gains for metal prices.

Oversupply and weak demand has pushed oil prices lower through-

out the month.

In Conclusion: November has seen markets step up from the volatile October month, with some recovering better than others.

Consumer sentiment has been rising in various economies and the hope is that this positiveness will support markets throughout the holiday season.

As this is our last article for 2014, I would like to thank all our clients for their continuing sup-port.

From me and my staff we wish you Happy Holidays and a Prosperous 2015!

Dear Mom in Heaven We sit here and ponder how very much, we like to talk with you today There are so many things that we didn't get to say.

We know how much you care for us, and how much we care for you, And each time that we think of you we know you'll miss us too.

An angel came and took you by the hand, and said Your place was ready in Heaven, far above...

And you had to leave behind, all those you dearly loved You had so much to live for, you had so much to do...

It still seems impossible that God was taking you.

And though your life on earth is past, in Heaven it starts anew You'll live for all eternity, just as God has promised you.

And though you've walked through Heaven's Gate we are never far apart For every time we think of you you're right here, deep within our hearts.

A heart of gold stopped beating, two shining eyes at rest. God broke our hearts to prove, he only takes the best.

God knows you had to leave us, but you did not go alone, for part of us went with you, the day he took you home. To some you are forgotten to others just part of the past, but to us who loved and lost you the memory will always last.

Four Stars FC awards players Mavourlene Gaes The Four Stars Football Club, playing in the Walvis Bay 3 division, handed over certificates to their players at a ceremony held in Walvis Bay on Wednesday.

Coastal Pirates Awards

Barman Kasetura (left) with team President Tjizandu Kavari, receiving his certificate

The Rossmund Golf Club was packed last Tuesday as members, families and supporters of the Coastal Pirates Inline Hockey players gathered for the annual award ceremony.

The Most Valuable, Most Dedicated and Most Improved players were awarded in each of the ten divisions. In the u/8, u/10, u/12 and u/14 age divisions, awards were given out for the A-level (Black) and the B-level (White) teams. The best overall defenders and the best overall goalies were selected in the junior and senior divisions, and various other awards were handed out (see the attached table). Many awards were won by those who represented Namibia at the FIRS World Championships in France earlier this year and by young players who continuously perform well.

It was encouraging, as the club continues to grow, to see some of the new players awarded for showing significant improvement. The Team of the Year award could have gone to a number of teams, said the coach, Brian Sobel, as the u/8, u/10, u/12, u/14 Black teams and the Open team had all performed exceptionally well in the Namibian national league, losing only 1 out of 85 matches! However, he went on to say, the u/10 White team had impressed him the most by managing to win a number of matches against some of the A-level teams, and had narrowly missed qualifying to play in the NIIHA Finals.

They supported me ever since I started boxing, even when they knew I was infected with HIV. They have stood by me through everything”, Kamatoto said. His first

big opportunity came in August 1985 when he challenged Harry Simon and both of them qualified for the nationals. “Harry Simon was my friend and still is, even if we were opponents” he added.

“He may retire, but he will die a fighter.

While his days in the ring are over, his dedication in sport will continue,” an avid fan in the audience commented.
