Poles were cut and stolen in a sixty kilometer stretch between Arandis and Karibib. A charge was laid at Karibib by a representative of Telecom Namibia and an appeal was lodged for the public to come forward with information that can lead to the arrest of the thieves. Both the Usakos and Karibib police stations can be contacted with information.

Angula pointed out the theft of the poles could have serious consequences for communications, not only in Erongo, but also for internet communications abroad and to neighbouring countries to Namibia.

“The theft is symptomatic of a growing problem - people stealing and selling copper wire, including poles for whatever purposes,” the statement reads.

SS Nujoma Continued from Page 1 the process of recruiting and selecting Namibian skilled and licenced seamen who will undergo training and vessel familiarisation prior to the vessel handover. The second part of this N$2.3 billion project, the subsea sampling system and treatment plant, has been developed in parallel by De Beers Marine South Africa and will be installed onto the MV SS Nujoma in the Port of Cape Town in the second half of 2016. The MV SS Nujoma - proudly named after the Founding President and Father of the Namibian Nation, Dr Sam Shafiishuna Nujoma – is the first of its kind and incorporates numerous innovative technologies. The MV SS Nujoma is diesel electric powered, and can accommodate up to 80 crew members.

The MV SS Nujoma is the most advanced marine diamond sampling and exploration vessel in the world and will be the sixth vessel in the Debmarine Namibia fleet. The vessel is scheduled to start commissioning in Namibian waters in the first half of 2017. Debmarine Namibia is a joint venture marine diamond prospecting and mining company, owned in equal shares by the Government of the Republic of Namibia and De Beers.

Debmarine Namibia became operational in January 2001 and mines in the off-shore mining licence area off the southern coast of Namibia at water depths of up to 140 metres. The company operates five diamond mining vessels, namely Debmar Atlantic, Debmar Pacific, !Gariep, Grand Banks and Mafuta. Two mining technologies are deployed, the airlift-drill and the crawler mining technology. The mining vessels mine diamonds off the ocean floor using highly advanced drill technology and supported with sophisticated tracking, positioning and surveying equipment. Debmarine Namibia currently charters the MV Coral Sea and MV The Explorer for sampling and exploration.

Continued from Page 1 the time of going to press is that the vehicle was driven by a female employee of COSDEF. The injured cyclist was rushed to the Swakopmund State Hospital. Nghaamwa explained he only got slight injuries and was treated before being discharged. He is expected to provide a statement to the Swakopmund police this week for the purposes of filing an accident report to the Motor Vehicle Accident Fund (MVAF).

Volgens mnr Haskell het die inbreker of inbrekers presies geweet waar die brandkluis was.

“Die kluis was gelukkig leeg. Hulle het eers 'n venster oopgebreek, maar ons vermoed die diefwering het hulle gekeer. Hulle het toe deur die dak ingebreek, die alarm drade geknip en die kluis uit 'n kas waarin dit versteek staan gehaal. Hulle het die kluis gelos.

Iemand het my vroeg gisteroggend gebel en ingelig oor die inbraak. Ek het my na die besigheid gehaas en met my aankoms 'n lid van G4S op die dak van my gebou gekry. Volgens hom het hy verbygery en gesien dat die alarm se gidsliggie nie brand nie.

Aanvanklik is gedink die diewe skuil nog in die

gebou. Na 'n spanningsvolle soektog is gevind dat die booswigte reeds weg was .

Haskell sou gister nadere ondersoek na die voorval instel deur onder andere na beeldmateriaal op die sekerheidskameras te kyk. Hy is ongelukkig oor die fisiese skade wat die inbraak hom berokken het.

Na afloop van die gebeure het 'n sekerheidstegnikus gesê dit is raadsaam om 'n bykomende sensor tot alarmstelsels te voeg. Die sensor word in die dak bygevoeg en werk net soos die ander sensors op beweging. Die sensor hou letterlik 'n ogie oor die alarm se sentrale stelsel. Die inbreker sal dus die alarm aktiveer nog voordat enige drade geknip kan word.

Foto's dui op die inbraaktoneel en die skade wat aangerig is.

According to the owner of one of the shacks that were destroyed, Festus Shipangela, they have no idea how the fire may have started. He suspects electricity as the cause though.

“We do not know what could have caused the fire because it started in one of the shacks belonging to a woman who has not even been here for days. She is visiting relatives at the North.”

There were no injuries reported and some of the shack fire victims managed to rescue some of their belongings.

Walvisbaaiers boos oor droë beton op strate Madelaine Laubscher Lesers kla dat vragmotors wat beton op Walvisbaai aanry die strate daarmee bemors. As die betoon boonop verhard, word die probleem erger. Die groot sondebokke is glo betonvragmotors wat konstruksiewerk in die hawe van Walvisbaai van beton voorsien.

“Ek wil weet wie se verantwoordelikheid dit is om die sement wat nou al droog geraak het op te kap, want dit is 'n probleem. Die vragmotors ry na die hawe en mors sement soos hul ry, maar maak dit nie skoon nie. As gevolg daarvan het die sement nou al opgehoop en droog geword in die pad. Wie gaan dit skoonmaak?” het 'n verergde leser gevra.

Volgens die leser is dit nou al 'n geruime tyd dat betonvragmotors 'n gemors veroorsaak en dit blyk niks word daaraan gedoen nie. Die los gruisklippies en ook die betonklonte stel padgebruikers in gevaar en beskadig motors.

Coastal residents warned against scam involving sale of vehicles Mavourlene !Gaёs NamPol Community Policing Officer, Sergeant Ileni Shapumba has urged community members in the Erongo Region to question the motives of people first before rushing into second hand vehicle sales agreements.

This stern warning follows after several cases were reported to the police were people apparently advertise sales of motor vehicles and scam unsuspecting buyers out of their money. Equally it is also common knowledge that criminals scan newspaper advertisements or even online advertisements for people wanting to

sell their vehicles.

They have an array of very convincing tricks up their sleeves to part you either with your vehicle or of your hard earned cash.

“These scammers have also recently developed another trait where they pretend to be police officers, mostly using the names and titles of senior police officers to scam peo-

ple.”

According to Shapumba, the police have already received to complaints regarding this scam. “The first one was where a person allegedly deposited an amount of N$55 000 and the second incident was when another unsuspecting victim deposited N$35 000 into a bank account of a Rehoboth

We arrested the two male suspects in Windhoek; they were released on bail of N$10 000 each. We suspect that these proceeds of crime are being used to fund other criminal activities too,” said Shapumba.

Shapumba said the culprits allegedly take pictures of random vehicles and advertise them in the local newspapers.

He further said the scammers are very experienced and appear to know what they

are doing and how to handle themselves.

“When the unsuspecting people phone them on the numbers provided in the advert, they respond to the calls by telling them there are many people interested and that in order for the vehicle to be kept for them, they need to deposit money into a bank account.”

Shapumba adds “the person just deposits the money without even bothering to verify to see if the car really exists. They do not even know if the person in whose account they are depositing the money is reliable or if

they can be trusted.”

He further warned the public to be on the lookout for these sorts of criminal activities and not fall prey to easy opportunities to make money. “If something seems too good to be true, then it is probably too good to be true,” explains Shapumba using this very familiar saying.

“Do not believe it and if you wish to believe it, first verify the facts and double confirm before you lose all your money. We encourage them to report these types of cases to the police without delay.”

CRIME & COURT

B2 claims another life Madelaine Laubscher A fatal accident ocurred on Friday on the B2 road approximately 15 kilometres from Arandis in which a 33-year-old woman died and a 12-year-old girl was transported to Windhoek for further medical care.

Nampol Deputy Commissioner Kashuupulwa said that “the Erongo Region is reporting a culpable homocide case which ocurred between Usakos and Arandis at approximately 16:35. A silver Polo with a Windhoek registration number, driven by a woman, overturned after the driver lost control of the vehicle. There were five occupants in the vehicle including the driver. One passenger, Anna Nelago Shiimi, died at the scene while two passengers and the driver sustained serious injuries. Shiimi's next of kin had been informed,” she said.

It is understood that the driver was allegedly forced to leave the road to avoid a head-on collision when another vehicle was approaching while overtaking.

This apparently caused the driver to lose control while veering off the road.

The injured occupants were stabilised at the scene by Eagle Ambulance and Rescue Services before being transported to the Cottage Private Hospital for further medical assistance. According to a source, due to the nature of the injuries sustained by a 12-year-old occupant, she was transferred to Windhoek.

Less drunk driving leads to domestic violence at home Madelaine Laubscher After the road accident statistics rose from 2014 to 2015, police officials say that it is due to negligent driving and added that domestic violence have increased due to partygoers rather staying at home in fear of being caught for drunk driving.

An accident ocurred Saturday morning at approximately 01:00 in Walvis Bay and according to a police official, both drivers sustained injuries, but it is fortunately not critical. “One of the drivers involved in the accident allegedly skipped a stop sign which resulted in the collision. Both drivers could not be tested for alcohol at the scene as they needed immediate medical assistance. The matter is still being investigated. The accident statistics rose

tremendously from 2014 to 2015 due to negligent driving. We noticed that there have been less drunk driving incidents as we are very strict in catching drunk drivers. This however raises a different concern. As more people rather stay at home instead of going to clubs, domestic violence has increased in Walvis Bay as troublemakers now make trouble at home. We have seen many women and children complain about domestic violence recently.”

Scammer using newspapers to get to victims Madelaine Laubscher An advert that was placed in the newspaper for trainee drivers is allegedly a scam as B2 Gold Mine, confirmed to the namib times that they have no association with the person who placed the advert.

We received numerous phone calls from various persons claiming that the advert which was placed in the namib times on Friday is a scam.

The advert that was placed in the namib times

It reads “Trainee Drivers – Nicco truck D riving S chool at Otavi. We are attending training for Heavy Duty / CE /Licence. Application forms available for 20 men age 21-25 years to be trained and employed at mines. We have 10 years renewable contract with B2 Gold Mine. Registration free. N$7500 including Natis service and accommodation plus food. Contact Mr Nicco.”

The number advertised was unreachable for comment from the suspect person.

According to the public relations department of B2Gold Mine “it is most definitely a scam.

B2Gold Mine will never operate in such a way as the advert reads.

The matter was reported to the police in the North various times and the advert was published in many national newspapers as well. We have warned the public in the past many times and we warn once again that this is a scam,” she said.

“It has come to the attention of B2Gold that unscrupulous individuals and companies are using our company name to solicit money from prospective job seekers with the promise of employment at the B2Gold Namibia Otjikoto Mine. Members of the public are solicited either through personal contact or through newspaper adverts “to be trained and placed” if cash is paid upfront.

One such fraudster is “Nicco Truck Driving School in Otavi” who has repeatedly placed classified adverts in

Namibian newspapers, and who is now targeting readers of the namib times.

Through his adverts he aims to defraud unsuspecting applicants of N$7 500.

We would like to warn the public that B2Gold is in no way associated with any of these individuals or companies, and that employment at B2Gold can only be obtained through a standard application and interviewing procedure.

We adhere to fair and transparent recruitment practices, and the payment of cash to any company or individual will not secure employment at B2Gold.

Note that our vacancy advertising will always appear on a branded B2Gold vacancy template, and will never be placed as small adverts in the classified advertising sections of any newspaper.”

Man spotted killing off marine birds

Members of the public who visited the beach area between the parking area and Donkey Bay, south of Walvis Bay, spotted a man over the weekend with a Tata-pick up vehicle, deliberately running over and killing marine birds.

Pictures were taken of these three terns, two Common Terns and one Crested Tern, that fell victim to this act of human cruelty. One of the Common Terns had a ring around one of its legs, and was ringed in Estonia in the Black Sea region, making the loss of such a bird even more devastating for conservation- and scientific purposes.

Samaria off to Tanzania Liesl Losper

Former Mayor and Ambassador, Theresia Samaria (pictured) have been assigned by President Hage Geingob to represent Namibia in the United Republic of Tanzania. This Mission is concurrently accredited to several East African countries.

Diplomatic postings are usually for a period of four years. The High Commission of Namibia in Dar-esSalaam, Tanzania was established about seven years ago. “I will therefore be builing on an already laid down foundation of historical and political links. I will be working together with the team at the High Commission to promote trade between the various countries that the Mission is accredited to and Namibia” Samaria said.

She said she will particularly focus her efforts to explore opportunities in specific areas such as education, tourism, agriculture, health, trade, fisheries, cultural and institutional exchanges, and in general at areas of common interest and mutual benefit to Namibia and the countries that the Mission is accredited to.

She further commented that the Mission will act as an extension of the “Namibian House” in Tanzania. “We will therefore facilitate business exchanges and visitations by Namibians to Tanzania for business or simply as tourists. We will also provide useful information about Namibia to business people in Tanzania and other accredited countries

who wish to explore business opportunities in Namibia, or merely

wish to visit our country for holidays,” she said. Samaria will

be leaving in the course of the week for Tanzania.

Corporates have staff and departments and contractors to manage that. Towns and cities have professionals to manage that. Etc. However, globally the human race is failing.

It's our own doing that it is so hot. It's our own doing that it's not raining or that it's flooding elsewhere. It's our own doing that outer space is cluttered with junk.

Mario Punzel Jip - die laaste paar maande kan n mens opmerk hoe mense al hoe meer mors.

Gaan kyk hoe lyk ons woestyn by die nuwe pyplyn wat aangele is van die "see water Ontsouttings" aanleg! Een

Die publiek het gister met gemengde gevoelens gereageer op hierdie foto wat op sosiale netwerke en whatsapp gesirkuleer is, van sekere plaaslike vissermanne wat die galjoene inryg by 'n visskoonmaakplek.

Tertius Meyer 10 Vis per persoon, sien niks verkeerd daarmee nie!

Langs ons kus gebeur dit min dat hengelaars hulle kwota vol vang, en om dit met jou aas en petrol vergelyk is dit ni meer die moeite werd om te gaan visvang ni! Dan raak vis per kilo duurder en restaurante lig hulle prys!! Dan kla almal weer.

Lorenzo Julie Well Done Gents! Lekker man Lekker, Lanklaas sulke bielies saam gesien, jy sien dit maar min veral aan ons kus like emoticon like emoticon like emoticon good 4 U. en die wat glad nie vis vang nie SAL NIE VERSTAAN NIE! Nico Holtzhausen Bog man dit wat ek kon tel is nog minder as hulle 4 se kwota saam so stywe lyne manne vergeet die sensasie jagters hulle ruk maklik die dam

onder die eend se gat uit Helena Thiart As hul so aangaan val jul dalk eersdaags in die kategorie van die Kaapse Weskus waar 'n galjoen as 'n see diamant gesien word. Uitgeroei dat ons nie eens meer die smaak van daai heerlike vis kan onthou nie. Kreef natuurlik volgende op die lys teen die tempo wat klein kreef gevang word vir net die sterte en die res in die water gegooi word.

Hennie van Vuuren Moet nie ons toeruste bedryf benadeel met sulke sensasie nie Namibia het toeruste nodig en almal baat tog.

Daar is mos niks verkeerd om jou kwota vis te vang nie. Bly net volgens die reels en regulasies. Stywe lyne.

Michael Brink Dont be pathetic. You are just stirring for sensationalism. The fish caught by anglers is a miniscule fraction of a percentage of the fish consumed by the seal colonies. Tourist fishermen spend a huge amount of money in the local business community. Supermarkets, Hotels, Camp grounds, Lisences, Motor spares and hardware shops, gift shops, Restaurants and Bars all benefit to name but a few, and this trickles down to local employment and local taxes. Each angler pays a fee to have his car use the roads. Do not kill a major cash cow with some sensationalist nonsense.

Richard Raymond Forbes Ag ... die GRN steel so baie geld die is nou nie eens n groot issue nie. Nothing to write a book about.

Theres bigger .... going on in this country then a few fish out of the sea.

Joh rerig.

Ilse Jansen Iemand slag iets gevang. yummie lekkerste vissie ook nog. As jul wil kla, kla bietjie oor sekere buitelandese visser bote wat ons waters so stroop.

Louise DuPlessis Van Zyl Probleem is. Almal hou nie by die regulasies nie. Hierdie 4 manne het dalk, maar wat van die ander wat oor Desember FB vol was wat 150+ vis per dag gevang het. En ander manne wat die vis gefillet het om terug aan die kus.

Raymond Dutchman

Coetser En as hul oplet, san Nam kleure wat daar staan, hul sal legit gewees het, of hoop so.

Leigh Westerdale It seems Namib Times is casting a line and seeing who is biting.

Len Nel As daar 40 Galjoene is is eelkeen se kwota reg.

Corne Kruger Eerstens, moet julle as die Namib Times eers uitvind hoeveel voertuie en hoeveel mense was hier betrokke - julle sal verbaas wees. Dis gevaarlik, oneties en teen die wet om mense se foto's te gebruik sonder toestemming wat hul in n slegte lig kan plaas. En natuurlik is daar sensasie hengelaars wat suur sal wees.

Irna Viviers Jip. Hier was 12 hengelaars betrokke by hierdie vangs.

So.. die jaloerse kritiseerders..... koop n 4x4 en gaan vang jul eie galjoene. Hierdie vis sal beslis nie vrot in die vrieskas nie. Hierdie mense se harte is so groot. hul deel hul vangste met almal wat vir hul lief en dierbaar is.....ek ingesluit. Geniet die see julle en vergeet van die paar bitterbekke.

Meme Kandali Sha Lucas Ek sou verkies dat geen foreigners in Namibia Vis vang veral daai van SA want hulle het hulle eie, kyk net wat het gebeur toe hulle hier gejag het. Bly uit! En deursoek al die trailers by die grense! No more fishermen and game hunters, I am tired!

Greg Dickman Ek neem aan as jy n namibiese baadjie dra dan mag jou visskoon maak tafel mos do lyk. Wat van die bote wat ons see leeg trek met hulle nette.

Wat van die robbe toe die smerikaners praat tie staan ons op aandag wat die vis verwoes. Die helle namibia man vrou, kind hond budgie kan almal gaan vang ons sal in ons leeftyd en die vilgende drie leftye na ons die vis nie van die kant af op vang nie al probeer ons hoe hard.

Susan Magrietha Ag die mense hou van moun maar laat dit nou hul self was dan sou hul niks se nie die mense is baie jaloers op ander bly tog net stil en los die mense uit.

Werner Voigt Snr Ai mense..... Die dorps idiote wat kla oor rots en

strand hengel is duidelik verstandelik verward..

Een groot vissersboot vang op n goeie dag meer as die al die manne/vroue met hul visstokke vir n hele jaar langs die Namibia kus.

Miskien het die wat kla ma net n groen mannetjie op hul skouer.

Stywe lyne julle.

Angelien van Wyk Ek raak so woedend oor die media wat so desperaat is vir nuus dat hul nie dink aan die nagevolge nie..... dan kry elke storie nog ñ stertjie ook... arme mense...

Natasja Vdb Schultz Soos ek die Namib Times verstaan, gee hulle net BERIG oor die foto wat die omgang gemaak het, glad nie 'n OPINIE nie. Hulle openingstelling is juis "Kan dit of kan dit nié?" Met die stelling "daar is opnuut gevra" beteken dit nie dat dit Namib Times is wat vra nie, maar eerder 'n algemene groep persone. Moenie die Namib Times aanval vir hul verslaggewing nie; hierdie berig is heel onpartydig geskryf.

Kobus Jansen van Vuuren Ek dink dit is pateties! Galjoen is soos shad! Minder lekke as hy eers gebries is! En ja los iets vir more en die nageslag!

Heinie Rika Franken Klink vir my hier is n paar manne wat jaloers is. Da is geen wet geootreë nie. Stywe lyne manne!

Sean Wolf Namib times

gee aandag op die vis.

This pic with comment was posted to you , but simply ignored?

WHY? Gerco van Zyl Haal my hoed af vir vissermanne wat so goed kan vang geluk manne en weet daai visse is almal wettig gevang so moet jul nie steur an die mense nie hul is net jaloers Barney Smithdorff Klomp suurgatte wat kla, n man wat kan visvang mag sy kwota vol vang. die robbe eet die vis klaar langs die kus en daar word niks aan gedoen nie. trots op n man wat sy 10 galjoene kan vang hou so aan.

Jasmien Brown Ag ....

Die vis is gevang nie gesteel nie en die hengelaars het goed gedoen. Pragtig. Wens ek kon enetjie vang.

Dis heerlik en deel van die samelewing of ons nou vis vang of bokke en skape of hoenders vang.. ons moet eet om te lewe. Rerig n klomp suur gatte wat eerder n verkoue vang as hulle hengel en nou is hulle suur oor ander wat vis gevang het. Jealousy makes u nasty and if u nasty u ugly.

Marc Dunster How many thousands of guys come up to Namibia to catch fish?

Now think if all of them keep their quota of 10. how many 10s of thousands of galoen is that?

This is a rip-off!

I just had the worst experience every in a cell phone shop in Walvis Bay. I will not mention any names, as I belief this is a general practise now among cell phone shop owners.

I took on international tourist there to purchase a sim card. The standard micro sim was still too big.

The sales lady used a special cutter to cut the sim and then charged them N$ 30 for this service. When I questioned this the shop owner/manager said "okay N$20".

I still question it and receive a arrogant answer of " I paid for the clipper" .

I really think this is a tourist/public rip off. Do these people have NO idea on adding value to service? Yes they paid for the clipper and this is not supposed to be seen as a money making scheme.

Nicolais Mostert het sy eerste vissie op 3-jarige ouderdom gevang.

Ons het die petalje op Langstrand van 'n afstand aanskou. Hy het 5 klipvissies gevang, wat elk omtrent 20-25cm lank is. Pieter Mostert woon in Windhoek en het sy seuntjie op 'n jong ouderdom reeds begin leer om vis te vang.

Dit was eers met 'n vangnet, maar Saterdagmiddag was dit klein Nicolais se groot dag om met sy eerste visstok te gaan visvang.

“Dis nodig dat hul op so 'n jong ourderdom al begin visvang. Ek het hom eers net geleer om met die net te vang, waarna ek gesien het hy is gereed en het ek vandag vir hom sy eerste visstok gaan koop.

Alhoewel pappa later die kraaineste moes uitsorteer, was dit nog steeds wonderlik om op sy gesiggie die blydskap en trots oor 'n eerste volwaardige vis te sien. “Dit was iets om te aanskou, en 'n mens kan dit vir niks verruil nie,” sê Nicolais se ewe trotse pa, Pieter (Pa en seun verskyn saam op die foto regs, heelonder).

Ons het klein Nicolais gevra of hy van visvang hou . Hy antwoord toe: “Ja tannie ek hou ook van vis eet. Nou kan ek my eie vissies vang.”

Athletics Training Camp a Resounding Success The 23rd edition of the Quinton-Steele Botes athletics training camp has been described as a resounding success. The week-long training camp that took place at Independence Stadium in the capital attracted many sports enthusiasts.

Event organiser and chairperson of the QuintonSteele Botes athletics club, Leoni van Rensburg spoke to Nampa on Saturday.

“This year's training camp was one of the best organised camps. Both athletes and coaches are going back home with new knowledge and techniques,” she said.

Van Rensburg further stated that there is a lot of talent amongst young Namibians.

“We need to look after them and maintain our young athletes so they can be successful in their sporting careers,” she said.

Van Rensburg also urged athletes to improvise when training by making use of whatever is at their disposal.

“Lack of facilities in most regions should not be an excuse not to take part in sports,” she said.

Meanwhile, South African high jump coach Jonathan Greyvenstein also expressed satisfaction with the training camp, saying: “It is a

great initiative and people's interest and response were overwhelming.”

Although the recent festive season had an effect on participant' performances, Greyvenstein said it is better to start sooner rather than later with preparation for the new season.

Also speaking to this news agency was discus, javelin and shot-put coach Christine van der Linde, who was happy with this year's training as she said amongst other things, South African coaches came up with new techniques that brought a new vibe to the camp.

“It was a successful training camp which was well organised. Over 200 athletes participated and it was much better than last year,” Van der Linde said.

One of the participants, the 17-year-old javelin athlete Nico Horn who participated in the training camp for the fifth time spoke about how beneficial the training camp is.

“It gives young athletes an opportunity to learn from some of the best coaches and to improve their techniques. If one concentrates on the tips and advice from these coaches you can become a great athlete,” he said.

About 200 athletes from the Oshana, Hardap, Erongo, Omaheke, Khomas and Kavango East regions took part in the annual training camp.

Fourteen Namibian athletics coaches and three South African coaches conducted the training, which focused on high jump, long jump, shot-put, javelin, hurdles, middle distance, long distance running and short distance running.

The training camp was initiated by the late Quinton-Steele Botes, who started the training for teachers while an athletics coach and teacher himself in 1993.

Botes, who became the country's top sports administrator and consultant, died of bone marrow cancer in June 2014.

Toyota Gazoo Racing SA in top ten as Dakar 2016 reaches midpoint

Salta, Argentina - Stage 7 of Dakar 2016 brought to an end not only the race's foray into Bolivia, but also a series of high-altitude stages that did not suit the naturally aspirated V8 petrol engines of the Toyota Hilux race vehicles.

Even so, all three Toyota Gazoo Racing SA's crews are in the top ten, as Dakar 2016 reaches its midpoint. Dakar veterans Giniel de Villiers and navigator Dirk von Zitzewitz (#301) lead the Toyota charge after seven stages, and after another solid performance on Stage 7, find themselves in 6th place overall.

For them, the return to the lower altitudes of Argentina, couldn't have come soon enough.

The stage from Uyuni in Bolivia to Salta in Argentina covered 336 km of racing between Bolivia and Argentina, with a border-crossing in-between. The second part of the stage, however, was shortened due to heavy flooding in the area. Despite this, all three the Toyota Gazoo Racing SA Hilux race vehicles reached the bivouac at Salta safely.

For Leeroy Poulter and Rob Howie (#319), currently in 7th place, Dakar 2016 has been an eventful affair. Poulter, especially, has matured into a driver able to pace himself, and to look at the race holistically. Where frustration may have gotten the better of him in the past, Dakar 2016 has seen the young man drive a measured race, but even so the race has thrown them some curve balls already.

"Most of our frustrations have come from the pace of the turbo-charged cars at high altitude, but we've also had to deal with slower traffic around us from time to time," explained Poulter after completing the first half of this year's race. "Still, we are happy to be in the top ten. And now that we've

dropped down to lower altitudes again, we will be pushing to make up some time."

Poulter recorded the 9th-fastest time on Stage 7, just shy of seven minutes behind stage winner Carlos Sainz (Peugeot). He trailed their Toyota Gazoo Racing SA teammates Yazeed al Rajhi and navigator Timo Gottschalk (#305) by just 13 seconds.

Al Rajhi was in 8th place overall, and keen to push during the last week of the race.

Next up is the rest day in Salta, when the race crews get a day off, while the service crews go into overdrive.

"For us, there really is no such thing as a rest day," said Team Principal Glyn Hall after reaching the bivouac in Salta. "Despite a liaison of nearly 20 hours from Bolivia after Stage 7, the boys will have to complete a comprehensive inspection and precautionary parts replacements on the rest day.

Luckily we are blessed with some of the hardest working guys in the industry, and I'm sure they'll take it all in their stride.�

After the rest day, the crews will take on six more stages, with the race coming to an end in the Argentine city of Rosario on January 16th.

But six stages on the Dakar can have a significant impact on the outcome, especially with the arrival of the first dunes of Dakar 2016. At 393 km, Stage 8 will already offer a stern test, but it is stage 10, from BelĂŠn to La Rioja, that many experts feel may be a turning-point in the race, thanks to its massive dunes and long off-piste sections.
