Water revolution Direct potable water plant for Walvis Bay - semi-purified effluent into drinking water

Night vigil against domestic violence

“Ops Kalahari” yields results

See Report on page 7

Walvis Bay's supply of drinking water will in the foreseeable future come from semi-purified water that is purified to a standard safe for human consumption. The municipality of Walvis Bay plans to secure the town's water future with the introduction of so called direct potable water reclamation (DPR).

Meet the Supra

At its ordinary monthly meeting for August (took place on 3 September), the Council of the municipality of Walvis Bay adopted a recommendation for the development of a Direct Potable Reclamation facility that will be located on the same premises as the waste water treatment plant. The two facilities would be integrated and would be known as the Namib Water Reclamation Plant. The waste water treatment plant would continue to produce semi-purified effluent from raw sewerage water and the semi-purified effluent would then through DPR be purified into potable water.

A competent tender agent and transactional advisor would be appointed in due course to develop the project to its full capacity. The transactional advisor, states the Council meeting's agenda, would be responsible for the appointment of the full bouquet of specialist services for the entire project from initial design right down to the tender

News from Rossmund

Cabinet directed all Namibian Government entities to reserve their vehicle purchases only for Peugeot and Opel, as there is a plant in Walvis Bay assembling these two vehicle fabricates. The municipality of Walvis Bay is among the first to adhere to this directive and will now spend N$633 000 to purchase two Peugeot's to replace the mayoral Mercedes Benz and a Volkswagen Jetta.

The Council of the municipality of Walvis Bay at the last monthly Council meeting approved a recommendation of the Management Committee in this regards. The Management Committee recommended a supplementary budget Continues on page 2

process and procurement.

Background: Council in 2018 instructed Aurecon to conduct a water security study to assess Walvis Bay's vulnerability with regard to water supply. The town's growth increasingly places security of water supply at risk.

The study concluded Walvis Bay has sufficient water access for its current demand, but identified a concentration risk [dependence on a single source of water]. The single source is the Kuiseb Delta and also the fact water can only be procured from one source – Namibia's bulk water utility NamWater.

The water security study considered a number of water supply alternatives including desalination. It was found that DPR is the best alternative, given the fact it is known technology already in use in the capital Windhoek for decades. DPR is also significantly more cost effective than desalination which is electricity intensive.

Walvis Bay mayoral “Benz” to be replaced by a Peugeot Continued from page 1 allocation for the 2019/2020 financial year of N$633 000 which must be used to buy two Peugeot vehicles from Peugeot Opel Assembly Plant Namibia (POAN) in Walvis Bay. The two vehicles will replace the mayoral Mercedes Benz and a Volkswagen Jetta.

Background information from public documents disseminated by the municipality of Walvis Bay and inquiries to an industry stakeholder close to POAN indicate very soon after the assembly plant started production in Walvis Bay late in 2018, the company hit the first snag. The vehicles assembled at POAN from a so-called semi-knocked down (SKD) state is not qualifying as a product originating from Namibia.

The most important requirement for the vehicles to qualify as Namibian originating products is for a percentage of the components to be manufactured locally.

If that is not possible, the vehicles cannot be classified as a Namibian product, and cannot enjoy import and export benefits within the Southern African Customs Union (SACU).

An industry source who was willing to speak to the Namib Times this week on condition of anonymity explained the other SACU-members were left in the dark with regard to the setting up of POAN in Walvis Bay. It was only in a very advanced stage that SACU-members felt they were left in the dark by Namibia's trade minister. Firstly, the vehicles produced cannot qualify as products originating in Namibia and hence any reduced import and export tariffs would be unfair. The SACU countries are pooling all the tariff income in one account and divides it up proportionally between each SACU member. If Namibia unduly qualify for reduced tariffs that in effect would undermine the other SACU-members' revenue from the SACU pool.

“Bear in mind though the fact that the vehicles are not products originating in Namibia, it does not mean POAN cannot export to clients or re-import the vehicles destined for Namibia. The imports and exports would not qualify for reduced tariffs and could make the vehicles uncompetitive in terms of retail price”, the source explained.

Adding ,that means the Namibian Government through Cabinet is in its full rights to encourage state institutions to buy vehicles from POAN and also for the trade minister and other public stakeholders to engage SACU with the aim of negotiating better tariffs and in doing so enforce the basis on which a motor vehicle assembly industry can come to its full right in Namibia.

Sinkhole frustrations for Walvis Bay Eileen van der Schyff

One of the many infrastructure frustrations residents of Walvis Bay face, is sinkholes.

Harbour town residents have contacted the Namib Times anew with complaints over sinkholes which is not only an eyesore but are all dangerous traffic hazards.

In most instances the sinkholes are marked with construction safety barrier or danger tape, yet often these sinkholes are left for months on end before the municipality gives attention to it. “These sinkholes are common sights throughout town. We understand that it costs money to repair, but the reality is these sinkholes are dangerous and can damage vehicles and cause accidents�, complained one resident. Adding he is highly frustrated by the fact the repair teams take so long before taking conducting repairs.

Sinkholes are caused by sewer lines rupturing underground. The sewer water erodes the area around the rupture, causing subterranean cavities. At any point in time the roof of the cavity collapses, exposing a large sinkhole.

Sinkholes are especially common near t-connections and near manholes.

The municipality of Walvis Bay conducts repairs as the sewer ruptures appear. The local authority concentrates on replacing sewer lines one at a time between two manholes. The town's sewer infrastructure is aged, and the only cost-effective approach is to repair the sewer lines on a priority basis.

Another resident had a constructive suggestion.

He urged all residents to report spots where sinkholes appear. Also, to keep record of the date and time it was reported to the municipality. Also, to frequently follow if action is to be taken.

Note: apart from a traffic hazard, sinkholes in the past have been responsible for people or animals falling into it and getting injured.

On the pictures: one of the sinkholes that frustrated residents of Peter Mushiange Street in Walvis Bay. The municipality repaired the sinkhole in the meantime and residents expressed their gratitude.

The Police Public Relations Committee (PPRC) reports crime rates dropped in the coastal towns since the launch of the joint anti-crime operation coded Operation Kalahari Desert. However, crimes committed in homes (domestic) are on the increase.

During a meeting in Swakopmund yesterday, Warrant Officer Ileni Shapumba, the Unit Commander for Community Affairs Nampol-Erongo confirmed the crime rates dropped. Specifically alcohol-related crimes.

The cumbersome news though is crimes related to domestic violence is on the increase. “People now consume alcohol at home and that contributes to violence inside the home”, explained Shapumba.

Shapumba's concern is that Operation Kalahari Desert is effectively moving crime from the streets into homes. Shapumba added: “The crime is high yes, but the perpetrators are our own people. When the police and other stakeholders of Operation Kalahari Desert respond to scenes, people respond with resistance and they complain

about our presence”, he explained.

Shapumba added during the meeting that PPRC now has new structures in place and changed its name to the Community Policing Forum (CPF).

Members of the PPRC should work together to identify possible candidates who will take over the position of the Current Chairperson of PPRC, Annette Kötting soon.

Kötting has been serving as chairperson since the re-establish-ment of the PPRC in 2016. “I express my sincere words of gratitude to Annette for the couple of years that she has been leading this committee. She is a good leader and executed her duties with distinction”, Shapumba concluded.

Night Vigil to make a difference Rudi Bowe

The Walvis Bay community held a night vigil recently to remember women and other vulnerable people who fell victim to domestic violence at the hands of their men. The Erongo Region remains plagued by domestic violence incidents in which one woman lost her life and several were raped or assaulted.

The vigil was held at the Narraville Stadium and served as a platform for people to unite against to make a difference.

Crying and outrage on social media is simply not enough. No one deserves to have their lives cut short by someone who has no regard for the rights or lives of other. It is horrifying to see that people in Namibian society simply don't care to destroy or take lives through domestic violence or random acts of violent crimes against vulnerable people in general.

Domestic violence has been condemned from all corners of Namibian society. Yet, it seems calls for men to change their violent ways against women, children or the elderly fall on deaf ears. The degree of cruelty is also shocking and revolting.

At the vigil, the Deputy Mayor of Walvis Bay, Clr Penelope MartinLouw commended the community for their initiative and for organising the vigil. “It is indeed a platform where we as a community can all stand together. To condemn these heinous crimes against the most vulnerable members of our community�, she said.

Clr Martin-Louw appealed to men in general to change their violent and abuse behaviour.

Also, to find help through counselling or sharing their fears and frustrations with for instance a trusted friend.

The time is always right to do the right thing.

Don't waste time to share and get help. Often it is too late for regret, but to get help in time can prevent a lot of pain and loss.

Clr Martin-Louw also gave her assurance that the Local Authority of Walvis Bay would be more than willing to support initiatives aimed at curbing violence in our society.

The Deputy Mayor also called for the line authorities to launch an indepth study to understand the root cause of domestic violence in Namibian society.

The organiser of the event Luzelle Yon, said the vigilance might not be an answer in itself, but a beginning of communities taking action and taking responsibility.

She concluded asking the country's judicial system to institute tougher sentences against

perpetrators of violence against vulnerable people.

She also recognised the fact that Namibian courts have already taken a tougher approach.

10-year-old Beauty queen gives Sharlien Tjambari back to community A ten-year-old beauty queen from Arandis found a special way to thank those who always supports her. Nelao Martina boasts several titles as beauty pageant.

Nelao Martina is seen here with the Deputy Mayor of Arandis, Clr Irija Iipinge and the children whom she invited for soup

Nelao, who is a learner at the Arandis Primary School decided to share moments over a cup of soup at the Onguta Restaurant with children from several other schools at Arandis. Many of the children are orphaned or experience life difficulties who leave them vulnerable.

To raise funds for her soup project Nelao organised a mini-expo where she raised sufficient funds to buy snacks and other food items. She held a mini expo with the help of her mother Maria Martina earlier this year, to raise funds which enabled her to buy the food items needed for a hearty cup of soup and some tasty snacks to go with it. It was an ambitious project, as the plan was to involve 150 children. Nelao teaches many of us the importance of perseverance in what you undertake.

Nelao is also a good example in that she is performing well at school and she is involved in community projects whenever possible.

With regard to her passion of competing in beauty pageant competitions, Nelao so far won four modelling titles.

It is off to South Africa next year for Nelao where she will compete for another title alongside the current Miss Beauty Queen Namibia Pageant. She will further shape her skills under the expert hands of Sweetness Mootseng, the Director of the Namibia Beauty Pageant. Nelao also got assistance from Bank Windhoek, Namib Bakery, Onguta Restaurant, Holdem Investment and The African Deli.

Empower girls through dance Rudi Bowe International Dance Exchange (IDE) recently organized and had a dance camp for twenty-one teen girls from financially challenged families in the Narraville community hall.

During the 3-day programme, participants took lessons from Gary Hoffmann, a Hip-Hop dancer from Namibia, Hadley and Ashlynn Erasmus Hip-Hop/Street dancers from Cape Town and Catherine Samson, ballet dancer and the owner of IDE. Samson said, “It opens doors for young girls with a passion for dance and empowers the young girls to get to know who they are by doing something they love. The dance gives an opportunity to create friendships and sister hood. Support surrounds children and with care we build a brighter future for them where people who matter come together to give children a sporting chance”.

Gary Hoffmann said that he would love to work with these girls and give them the opportunity to peruse a career in dancing as it not only a hobby but also a means of making money with dancing events and music videos.

“To help these girls we need a venue to set up a dance studio and for this we need money. I would like to do this free of charge for all girls under the age of 18 years. We would like to plea to the Walvis Bay community to assist in setting up the studio”, Hoffmann added.

Ingrid Van Niekerk, the mother of Catherine Samson said that

the programme was a big success. She would like to thank their sponsors and everyone that helps.

The children that participated in the program were: Kelly Areses, Jure-Lee Kusch, Camiryn February, Princonley Hiskia, Viwandjininga Kalumona, Jade Kamaundju, Bertha Queen Kinda, Caylin Knowles, Amor Laksman, Tayla Ava Martins, Ruzel Mokaleng, Sharivo-Dean Ockhuizen, Fimanekeni Paulus, Tamika Rossouw, Sarifa Chriszelda Skeyer and Lovely Kelly Swartbooi with Cline-Lee Kusch, Zita Petersen, Zoey Petersen Valmaray Raynard and Venesheree Raynard as the Juniors.

IDE addresses the immediate challenges faced by young girls in Africa and focuses on the individual human development through the transformative power of dance, by providing young girls who share that same passion and vision for dance an opportunity and platform to excel and succeed in dance. The International Dance Exchange Program provides high-level and immersive dance experience filled with movement, music, adventure and moving to bring change to girls and youth in less privileged communities in Africa. The girls also learnt how to manage stress, friendships and how to eat healthy as a healthy body and mind gives a healthy dancer and a happy teenager.

Introducing ... the first and only Toyota Supra at the coast The return of an icon It's been gone for nearly 20 years, but now the Toyota Supra is back designed in cooperation with BMW. The two-seater sports car has the same underpinnings as the new BMW Z4. The Supra is powered by a 250kilowatt three-liter six-cylinder engine...

For four generations and 24 years, the Toyota GR Supra has personified the thrill of driving. Defined across four generations by its classic 6-cylinder, front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car layout and lightweight coupé styling, from 1978 to 2002 the iconic Supra has over time been exclusively crafted to create a rarefied realm where driver and car become one in search of the ultimate driving pleasure. The straight-six cylinder engine is now

equipped with direct fuel injection, turbocharging and mated to an 8-speed paddle shift automatic gearbox for ultimate performance,while electronics feature in the adjustable suspension and electronically controlled Limited Slip Differential (LSD), as well as the cockpit information displays.

Building on its history and designed for the future, the new generation Toyota GR Supra is the thoroughbred sports car that performance enthusiasts have been waiting for.

Drawing on a legacy of success on track by its forebears and inputs by Gazoo Racing — Toyota’s performance division during the new car’s development — there is simply no purer sports car. Man; machine: one.Available in standard Gazoo Racing colours or in a special Gazoo Racing matte grey finish, the wait is finally over. The Supra is ready for you.

The new Supra has been designed from the ground up to deliver driving pleasure and superlative performance at accessible limits.

The Supra’s prodigious potential comes from its front mounted 3l, turbocharged direct-injection straight six cylinder petrol engine, delivering 250 kW of power between 5 000-6 500 r/min and 500 Nm of torque between 1 600-4 500 r/min, channelled to the rear wheels by an 8-speed automatic gearbox with steering heel mounted shift paddles for complete driver control. As the first and last pairs of cylinders of the straight-six engine operate in unison, albeit in different strokes of the combustion cycle, a smooth and vibration-free experience is guaranteed across the entire rev range without sacrificing performance. The combined benefit of the

abundance of torque across such a wide rev range, as well as the fitment of launch control and the dynamic benefit of traction-optimising rear-wheel drive delivers a 0-100 km/h sprint time of just 4.3 seconds. Incredibly, the Supra consumes a mere average of 7 .7l/100 km and emits a corresponding 177 grams of CO2 per kilometre.

However, the Supra’s superlative performance potential supersedes simple straight line speed. As a classic sports coupé, the absence of rear seats has allowed for the attainment of a perfect wheelbaseto-track ratio of 1:6 and a 50/50 weight distribution: essential ingredients for razor-sharp and precise handling, stability and agility during extreme cornering manoeuvres when driver, car and road become one.

In keeping with the Supra’s philosophy of pure and simple driving performance, only one button is required to unleash all of the car’s ability: the Sport button. The latter sharpens the steering,

throttle, Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS)* (MacPherson struts in front and multi-link rear) *Available on selected models and differential responses for increased dynamic alacrity, as well as enhancing engine acoustics through a more emotive soundtrack. The Supra’s 19” alloy wheels house high performance Brembo brakes and are shod with special Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, sized 255/35 at the front and 275/35 at the rear. The Supra’s aluminium and steel composite body shell has been specially shaped to optimise straight-line aerodynamic efficiency with the target of reducing lift and retaining an optimal front/rear weight balance for peak handling prowess. Viewed head-on, the front bumper aligns ultra-aggressive aesthetics with the necessary functionality. It features a strong horizontal line that separates the headlights and the large intakes responsible for aiding cooling of the Supra’s highperformance turbocharged engine.

What are you waiting for? See you at Indongo Toyota in Walvis Bay today to experience the Supra! Our sales team is ready to assist you!

Swakopmund Namibia feiert nächstes Jahr sein 30.

Jahr der Unabhängigkeit. Wir von der Wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft Swakopmund fangen schon in diesem Jahr damit an, der Geschehnisse die dahin führten, zu gedenken. Dazu haben einige unserer Vorstandsmitglieder verschiedene namibische Persönlichkeiten eingeladen, Vorträge im Swakopmunder Museum zu halten. Der sehr gut besuchte Vortrag von Anton von Wietersheim (März 2019 „Die Namibische Geschichte am Beispiel einer Familie deutscher Herkunft“) inspirierte uns dazu.

Die Vortragsreihe lautet: “The long road to Namibia The making of a Nation” .

In der nächsten Woche haben unsere Kollegen vom 16. bis 20. September

Sprüche “Wir leben schon in komischen Zeiten: Telefone ohne Tastatur, Lampen ohne Strom, Türen ohne Klinke, Menschen ohne Hirn, Beziehungen ohne Gefühle, Worte ohne Sinn.”

“Was ist Elektrizität?

Morgens mit Spannung aufstehen, mit Widerstand zur Arbeit gehen, den ganzen Tag gegen den Strom schwimmen, abends geladen nach Hause kommen, an die Dose fassen und eine gewischt kriegen.”

“Wer mich nicht mag, der muss halt noch ein bisschen an sich arbeiten.”

“Lieber locker vom Hocker, als hektisch über'n Ecktisch!”

“Ich bin jetzt in einem Alter, in dem dir der Körper am nächsten Tag ganz leise ins Ohr flüstert: mach das nie, nie wieder.”

“Da lernt man Dreisatz und Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung und steht trotzdem grübelnd vor dem Backofen, welche der vier Schienen nun die Mittlere ist.”

Ein Jahr vor seinem Tod hatte der deutschsprachige Schriftsteller Franz Kafka, der 1883 in Prag geboren wurde und 1924 in Österreich verstarb, ein ungewöhnliches Erlebnis. Als er durch den Stadtpark Steglitz in Berlin strolchte, sah er ein Mädchen, das herzzerreißend weinte: Sie hatte ihre Puppe verloren.

Kafka erbot sich, ihr beim Suchen der Puppe zu helfen und sie am nächsten Tag zu einer bestimmten Zeit an demselben Platz zu treffen.

Als Kafka die Puppe nirgendwo finden konnte, stellte er einen Brief aus der Sicht der Puppe zusammen, den er dem Mädchen am nächsten Tag vorlas: “Bitte weine nicht, ich habe mich auf eine Reise begeben, um die Schwarze Welt kennenzuSchoko Weisse Schoko lernen. Ich werde dir von meinen Abenteuern erzählen...”

Dies war der Anfang vieler Briefe. Jedes Mal, wenn Kafka sich mit dem kleinen Mädchen traf, las er seine kreativ erstellten Briefe von den imaginären Erlebnissen der geliebten Puppe vor.

Dadurch spendete er dem Mädchen Trost. Als die Treffen zu Ende gingen, schenkte Kafka ihr eine Puppe, die natürlich anders aussah als die verlorene. Der Autor aber las ihren Brief vor: “Meine Reisen haben mich verändert...”

Viele Jahre später fand das “Mädchen”, nun bereits eine erwachsene Frau, einen Brief in einem vorher nicht beachteten Riss oberhalb des Handgelenks der Puppe. In Kürze stand darauf: “Alles, was du liebst, verlierst du irgendwann, aber die Liebe wird in verschiedenen Gesichtern immer wiederkommen.”

Worte der Woche Teekesselchen

Sehnsüchtiger Seufzer einer Teekanne Ich fühle mich so dick und rund, mein Bauch wirkt füllig, kunterbunt.

Dabei bin ich ganz platt gedrückt, den Brief mein Konterfei ausschmückt.

Mein Inneres ist hohl und leer.

Bekäm’ ich kochend Wasser her, köstlichen Tee würd' ich bereiten zu allen Nacht- und Tageszeiten: Kamillen- und auch grünen Tee, bei Blasenschwäche und Bauchweh, bei Fieber, Durst und trockner Kehle ein Tässchen Tee man immer wähle.

Darjeeling, im Himalaya gepflückt, Teetrinkers Gaumen voll entzückt, schmeckt herzhaft wie der Sikkim aus Nepal, der Herkunftsort ist doch egal.

“Ich wollt’, ich könnt’ den Bauch mir füllen mit diesen duft'gen Blätterhüllen”, Teekännchen voll Sehnsucht seufzend rief, “ach, klebt’ ich doch nicht auf einem Brief!”

Annemarie Harich-Golzwarden

Kennen Sie noch das Teekesselchen-Spiel, liebe Leser? Wenn nicht, hier die Anweisungen: Das Spiel kann man prima im Kreis spielen.

Ein Spieler denkt sich ein Teekesselchen aus.

Damit ist er Spielleiter.

Ein Teekesselchen besteht aus einem Begriff, der zwei Bedeutungen hat. Der Begriff muss gleich ausgesprochen, nicht aber gleich geschrieben werden (z.B.: Pilz und Pils).

Der Spielleiter fängt an und gibt eine Information zu seinem Teekesselchen. Die Information kann sich auf den einen oder den anderen Begriff beziehen.

Nach der Reihe darf nun jeder Spieler raten, was wohl gemeint ist.

Wenn niemand das Richtige geraten hat, gibt der Spielleiter den nächsten Tipp.

Nach 10 Runden sollte das Teekesselchen erraten sein, ansonsten

löst der Spielleiter auf.

Wer das Teekesselchen erraten hat, darf sich das nächste ausdenken.

Tipp: Um es einfacher zu machen, kann man auch zulassen, dass sich die Spieler die Hinweise aufschreiben dürfen.

Beispiel: Birne und (Glüh-) Birne Spielleiter: Mein Teekesselchen ist grün.

Die Spieler raten ohne Erfolg.

Spielleiter: Mein Teekesselchen ist aus Glas.

Die Spieler raten wieder ohne Erfolg.

Spielleiter: Mein Teekesselchen kann man essen.

Und so weiter.

Teekesselchen: Birne und Birne (Obst, Lampe); Hahn und Hahn (Tier, Wasserkran); Pony und Pony (Frisur, Pferd) ; Flügel und Flügel (Klavier, Vogelflügel, Nasenflügel) ; Becken und Becken (Waschbecken, Beckenknochen, Instrument); Schnecke und Schnecke ( Ti e r, l a n g s a m e r Mensch) ; Kelch und Kelch (Trinkbecher, Blütenkelch) ; Blume und Blume (Pflanze und Schaumkrone beim Bier); Kerze und Kerze (Zündkerze, Wachskerze); Pilz und Pils (Waldpilz, Schimmelpilz, Getränk); Augen und Augen (Kartoffelaugen, Sehorgane, Hühneraugen) usw.

Liebe Küstenleser!

Zur Zeit befinde ich mich in Kapstadt und in einem Land, das genau wie sein nordwestlicher Nachbar Namibia - an einer kranken Vorstellung von Männlichkeit leidet.

Kaum dass Ende August die 19jährige Studentin der UCT, Uyinene Mrwetyana, von einem Postbeamten vergewaltigt und zu Tode geprügelt wurde, gab es schon den nächsten Fall der Geschlechter-Gewalt: Ein Polizist erschießt seine ehemalige Freundin, die südafrikanische Boxmeisterin Leighandre Jegels.

Aktuelle Studien haben ergeben, dass vor allem junge Männer in Südafrika Gewalt ausüben, weil sie es u.a. als eine Art und Weise sehen, ihre Macht und Männlichkeit zu beweisen. Dazu gehört eben auch, ihre jeweilige Partnerin in einer intimen Beziehung zu gängeln - wenn es sein muss, mit Gewalt.

Diese in meinen Augen unnatürliche Betrachtungsweise von Männlichkeit liegt in der Sicht und Struktur der jeweiligen Gesellschaft begründet, in der die jungen Männer leben. Wir sprechen zum Beispiel von dem “starken Geschlecht”, eine salopp dahergesagte Beschreibung, die zeigt, wie der Mann unseren Vorstellungen nach zu sein hat: physisch stark, seine eigene Meinung unflexibel vertreten könnend, sportlich, sexuell

draufgängerisch und emotional beherrscht bzw. vernunftbetont.

Leider ist diese Vorstellung toxisch und hat gefährliche Folgen für die südafrikanische (und auch namibische) Gesellschaft, in der fast die Hälfte aller Haushalte von Frauen geführt werden, weil die Väter durch Abwesenheit glänzen. Eine

Militär und der Politik verherrlichen oftmals ein krankes Bild von Männlichkeit, das da heißt: “Bloß keine Träne rollen lassen,

Tausende Aktivistinnen haben sich vor dem südafrikanischen Parlament in Kapstadt versammelt und eine Wiedereinführung der Todesstrafe gefordert. fehlende, männliche Leitfigur verzerrt das Bild von Männlichkeit, so auch die Armut, die oftmals damit zusammengeht. Die Armut hat zur Folge, dass die Mutter meistens vollzeitig arbeiten muss (und daher auch nicht immer da ist), und somit wachsen Jungs ohne gesunde, väterliche Führung und quasi völlig haltlos heran.

Nicht nur die gestörte Mikrofamilienstruktur trägt zu der von Männern verübten Gewalt bei. Auch der Gesellschafts- und Gruppendruck, die Medien, Einflüsse aus dem

Vater und Sohn sind die bekanntesten Figuren des deutschen Zeichners Erich Ohser alias e.o.plauen (1903–1944). Die textlosen Geschichten handeln von den liebevollen Erlebnissen eines Vaters und seines kleinen Sohnes, die häufig für diverse Alltagsprobleme ungewöhnliche Lösungen finden.

bloß kein gefühlvolles Weichei, sondern beherrscht sein!”

Der Anfang vom Ende häuslicher Gewalt beginnt meiner Meinung nach in Familien und Gesellschaften, wo Männer lernen, dass Liebe, Fürsorge und Verwundbarkeit nicht etwa unmännlich sind, sondern gesund, starkmachend und wohltuend. Und das erzeugt wiederum Macht auf einer ganz anderen Ebene. Denn welche Frau liegt keinem liebevollen Mann zu Füßen?! In Afrika träumen Millionen von Frauen davon!

Ich möchte diese Glosse nicht mit dem Gedanken an kranke Männlichkeit abschließen. Vielmehr mit der Aufforderung an die Frauen: Versteckt euch nicht hinter dem Wort Opfer! Jean d’Arc würde so manche Träne vergießen, wenn sie die Rolle des hilflosen Wesens zu Gesichte bekäme, in die wir heute so gerne schlüpfen. Also, macht euch stark und wehrt euch!

Befreit euch von dem Bild des zarten Geschlechts. DENN Unschuldslämmer sind wir Frauen wahrhaftig auch nicht.

Eure/Ihre Susann Kinghorn .

Some exciting news from Rossmund Well the past weekend was exciting in more ways than one for some of the Rossmund Golfers.

For some of the Rossmund Golfers that travelled to Windhoek to participate in the final of the 2019 Windhoek Lager International Pairs Tournament played over two days at Omeya GC and WGC &CC. Rossmund was well represented with 2 Ladies Pairs and 3 Men's Pairs qualifying.

Three of whom finished in the top ten out of a field of 40 – our Ladies Team consisting of Lucille Abrahams and Rina Knight finished in 2nd place overall on 87 points - only one point behind the winners Florian Allers and Robert von Prittwitz; also winning the Ladies Section with 13 points ahead of their nearest rivals. Well done to all our golfers and especially to Lucille & Rina and their fantastic win – a trip to Portugal later in the year.

In the meantime 32 Rossmund golfers took to the home fairways in search of those much valued Merit List points in the monthly Destination Swakopmund competition - this time around a multiplier that led to some interesting scores.

There was only one 2-club coming from Peter Witt. Winners: 1st Steven Johns/George Murasiki 79 points, 2nd Achmet Abrahams/Bertie Saunderson 77 points, 3rd Helmut Ndjendja/Thomas Shitaleni 74 .oinpts and 4th Gerhard Byeveld/Johnny Flook 68 points.

On Wednesday 14 August we had some great Spar vouchers on offer compliments of Prestige Accounting - thanks Fritz for ringing in the changes and giving my brain a rest - we had a good field of 35 players the majority of whom did not have a great day.

Two players managed to score a decent 38pts - this meant a count out once again was necessary - won by Peter Fox over Cashbox van Wyk - Achmet Abrahams was just one off the mark with 37pts. Our 9 hole winner was Mario Polster with a superb 22 points - with Andrew Cunningham missing out by one point. Well played to all and thanks to the sponsor of the day.

On Wednesday 21 August was sponsored by Williams & Knight Insurance Brokers – Oom Billy was in control of proceedings with a ring of the bell and some snacks on the table. Weather conditions were great after some hectic east wind in the morning – bringing in some good scores. Nearest to the Pins were on offer by 7 & 12 these were won by Bertie Saunderson and Johan Kok (great to see you hitting the ball again) – Gary Knight came into the clubhouse with an excellent 41 points to take the 18 hole prize followed by Lucille Abrahams on 38pts whilst Warren Theron played the Best Front Nine with 21 points. Well played to all and thanks to the sponsor for a great day.

Saturday 31 August was Monthly Medal Time- otherwise known as the Novanam/Pescanova Feeshing Competition – prizes consist of boxes of beautifully cleaned and packed fish – what a bonus.

The course remains in an excellent condition with greens running smoothly but at times a tad too fast for some. Weather conditions were slightly on the cooler side, however this did not deter the field of 31 players.

There were two-clubs coming from Mario Polster and Stanley Gawanab.

Results - Overall Medal Winner: Mario Polster 68 nett; “A “Division: Likius Nande 74 nett (c/o), “B “Division: Thomas Shitaleni 71 nett, “C “Division: Peter Bassingsthwaighte 69 nett, Ladies: Rina Knight 74 nett, Junior: Jonathan Mather 76 nett.

As always a great word of thanks to the sponsor and to all the players for a great day of golf.

The Dulux Finals were held at Omeya GC over the weekend with Helmut Ndjendja/Justine Shikulo taking first place and Warren Theron/Bertie Saunderson coming home in third place. Well played.

Wednesday 4 September was sponsored by I Tyre – the afternoon was a bit windy at times but a great time was had by all including our Namibian Men's Team putting in a bit of practice for the All Africa Tournament coming up at the end of the month in Mauritius. Nearest to the Pin on Number 7 went to Achmet Abrahams; 18 hole winner was Chris Wood with 40pts followed closely by Bertie Saunderson on 38pts; our 9 hole winner was Stanley Gawanab with 20pts over the front nine. Well played to the winners and thanks to Kiffie Du Rant from I Tyre who also joined us on the day.

Coming Events: Saturday 14 September will be Business Connexions with their annual Betterball Mixed Stableford.

Novanam Medal Winners: Thomas Shitaleni, Jonathan Mather, Rina Knight, Mario Polster and Peter Basssingsthwaighte

(Fltr): Ladies Winners WLIPSA International Pairs – Steve Basson (WGC&CC GM), Lucille Abrahams (RGC), Rina Knight (RGC), Rene Duffy (Windhoek Lager/NBL) and Hugh Mortimer (ASM Namibia)
