Mall conflict brewing
"I shall continue, regardless of suspension of permission to occupy" Marshallino Beukes
Following the suspension of Greenstone Resort (Pty) Ltd’s permission to occupy agreement by the Walvis Bay municipality on Wednesday, the developer, who intends to construct a ±N$1 billion mall (Erongo Mall) in the harbour town, yesterday indicated that they will Page 3 continue with earthworks, regardless of this directive.

Greenstone Resorts’ Chief Executive Officer, Mr Timo Voges, yesterday told namib times that the Walvis Bay municipality failed to inform them during their initial negotiations, about four years ago, that, in order to buy a portion of land from a local council, ministerial approval is needed. This, according
to Voges is the municipality’s main reason for instructing them to halt the earthworks. “Who are at fault, we or the municipality? Why didn’t they, within almost four years, communicate with the ministry in this regard?” he asked. The permission letter, to occupy new Portion 213 of Walvis Bay Town and Town-
lands No. 1 (in namib times’ possession) is dated 13 April 2015 and is undersigned by Mr Jack Manale (Manager, Housing and Properties), on behalf of Mr Agostinho Victor, the General Manager: Community and Economic Development. This letter indicates that approval is granted, provided that Greenstone
“guarantees and indemnifies the Municipality of Walvis Bay against any action, claim or loss, injury or damages which the company or any third party may suffer as a direct result of this approval.” Mr Voges further noted that the approximately 22 hectares of land, which they intend to buy, was valued for N$8
million by independent validators, appointed by the Walvis Bay municipality. Value Added Tax (VAT) of N$1.2 million and a landscaping fee of N$800 000 were added, which brought the value of the land to N$10 million, said Voges. He also indicated that the sales price was N$46 per square metre for the un-serviced land, but
they also have to cough up N$400 per square metre to compact and level the un-serviced land, and included swamp and dunes. Voges remarked that, as an entrepreneur, he saw the opportunity to develop these premises and decided to grab it. According to him, the then mayor of Walvis Bay, Mr Derek Klazen, Continues on page 2

some environmentalists and concerned groups.
Environmental concerns, regarding the area where this N$8 billion development is to be constructed, were recently aired at a public meeting in Kuisebmond, Walvis Bay. Nevertheless, the Erongo Governor, Cleophas Mutjavikua, indicated his full support regarding this massive de-
velopment to namib times. Mr Mutjavikua noted that the provision of land, housing and employment currently top the government’s priority list and this development will certainly contribute immensely towards accomplishing it. “It is a very good project, and I fully support it,”
Mutjavikua noted. Based on a comprehensive feasibility study, done by Conference Link, the Namibia International Convention and Exhibition Centre (NICC), for the first two years will create 715 jobs, increasing to 884 during year one of operation. Continues on page 2

was in favour of the idea, as it will bring development to the harbour town. Mr Voges says that they have followed all the procedures required to clinch the deal with the Walvis Bay municipality, including advertisements in the print media, approval from surrounding businesses (residents) and the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). “The 10% deposit is set and I undersigned the sales agreement, about one month ago, but the Council has not signed it yet. Voges has furthermore indicated that they plan to spend around N$420 million for the first phase of the development and about 600700 job opportunities will be created during the construction phase. Regarding Safland International Property Services, who are planning to develop a N$480 million shopping mall, also next to the Diaz traffic circle in Walvis Bay, only a stone’s throw away from the proposed Erongo Mall, Voges noted that they have no pro-blem with it, as it is a free market system. “We only want to also be given a fair chance and transparency is vital,” he said. He also informed the newspaper about a letter, supposedly badmouthing Greenstone, sent out to prospective anchor tenants by Safland. The matter ended up in the High Court, but was resolved, and Safland had to withdraw the notion, says Voges.
He informed the newspaper that they have brought the Atterbury Group, a South African company, which specialises in development of prime commercial, retail and residential property, on board. Atterbury is, according to Voges, a minority shareholder, with less than fifty percent shares. Voges emphasises the fact that the project will involve 97% Namibian shareholding and 3% South African shareholding. He has indicated that Greenstone is planning to open the Erongo Mall during April 2017. The newspaper contacted Safland’s chief executive officer, Mr Kallie van der Merwe, yesterday and he confirmed the High Court issue, noting that both parties are targeting the same market and that both brought certain facts under the clients’ attention. Van der Merwe remarked that “there is no place for two malls in Walvis Bay. One mall is enough for the town.” He indicated that they have bought the land from a private party and that it is already transferred in their name and paid for. Mr Van der Merwe indicated that all procedures were completed and they were only waiting for their building plans to be approved, before construction would kick off. The Walvis Bay CEO, Mr Muronga Haingura, could not be reached for comment yesterday.

Project Desert Rose: The flip side Continued from page 1
The total number of direct and indirect jobs of the NICC alone will be 1 617 by 2021. The Desert Rose project is expected to create over 5 000 jobs during the first five years, according to Conference Link’s study. They have furthermore concluded that this project will provide the opportunity to involve many SMEs and enhance Government – Private sector relations. The cumulative contribution to taxes is set to exceed N$663 million by 2021. Indirect household income is expected to be cumulatively N$1 billion by the end of 2021 it was concluded that the NICC is economically viable. Furthermore, as per the study, the development will enhance Namibia’s international presence and it will stimulate the country’s economy and create opportunities to boost growth of all sectors in the country. It is also stated that this is a unique opportunity to create a modern icon which will draw international attention and demonstrates how a country wants to be seen by the international community. Some of the site selection requirements for an International Convention Centre is that it should be internationally accessible and should be supported by surrounding shops, restaurants, banks, entertainment, transport etc. All of this are catered for to form part of Desert Rose. Regarding the
site selection criteria, it is stated that this area represents two of Namibia’s major natural features, the Namib Desert and the Atlantic Ocean. According to Mr Johan Cornelissen (National Environmental Health Consultants) two alternative sites are currently being scrutinised. He, however, did not want to identify it at this stage, but did note that it is also along the coastline. According to the study, neither Walvis Bay, nor Swakopmund can currently provide the required space within their CBD’s in terms of international site selection criteria. The environmental side The development is planned to be constructed inside a high level conservation “red zone”, within the Dorob National Park. The Dorob National Park is a protected area in Erongo, along the central Namibian coast, which is 1 600 kilometres in length. It was gazetted as a national park under the Nature Conservation Ordinance No. 4 of 1975 on 1 December 2010, and with Namib-Naukluft Park covers an area of 107 540 square kilometres. The newspaper spoke to a renowned environmentalist, who prefers not to be named at this stage, yesterday and he noted that this is a “tricky situation.” He indicated that it is disturbing to know that the Namibian government entertains this de-
velopment, although it is not in line with the vision of conservation and management of biological biodiversity along the coast and against all regulations. “It would be criminal to allow the development in this specific area,” he said. He further noted that this development will definitely have a massive impact on the country’s tourism sector, as many tourists visit Namibia for its natural beauty. Should this go through, the government will set up a future problem for themselves, because other developers might want to do the same in other protected areas. He also expressed his concerns regarding the endangered Damara tern, remarking that it blows his mind that someone could be willing to destroy an incredible creature, which breeds on their own doorstep. Developers’ side The namib times also spoke to one of the developers, yesterday. According to him, some people do not understand the fact that the Dorob Park, or a portion thereof could also be de-proclaimed, just as it was proclaimed during 2010. “Walvis Bay and Swakopmund are expanding rapidly by the day and the only direction these towns can expand to is along the coastline,” he noted. He remarked that, except from the thousands of jobs which will be created, this project will at-
tract lots more tourists to the country, which is good for the country’s economy. Regarding the area where the Centre is planned, he commented that the zone where the development will take place should be economically viable.
He concluded by noting that they as the developers are transparent and do not have anything to hide, as they only want development and growth for the Region and the country as a whole.

The Erongo Regional Council has received its third consecutive unqualified financial audit report from the Office of the Auditor General and last week Thursday celebrated this remarkable achievement. The Chief Regional Officer, Ms Nathalia /Gôagoses, also took the initiative to award staff members in the Directorate of Human Resource Management, Finance and Administration, in particular the Finance Division. Each Financial Year, Government Offices, Ministries and Agencies are obliged to submit Financial State-

At this occasion the Deputy Minister of Urban and Rural Development Derek Klazen commended the Council with their accomplishment and also noted that, if Erongo Regional Council can achieve this, why not all the Regional Councils? He challenged other Councils to follow suit. Governor Mutjavikua remarked that this achievement is putting the Region high on the

map and also noted that investors are monitoring the Erongo Region very closely. Mutjavikua emphasised the fact that although the region is seemingly doing very well, the financial input from state coffers is not enough, as the region is experiencing an influx of people from other parts of the country and these peoples' needs should also be catered for. The Chief Regional Officer, Ms Nathalia /Gôagoses cautioned
recipients of awards not to become complacent after receiving the awards. “This should motivate, encourage and inspire you to work even harder,” she concluded. Staff members from the Erongo Regional Council, Directorate of Education, Arts and Culture and Department of Maintenance received trophies in Recognition of Outstanding Excellence for their hard work and dedication in the achievement of a sound financial status.

The second annual Swakopmund International Trade Expo (SWAITEX) was officially launched on Wednesday and according to Mr Heinrich Hafeni (Chairman of NCCI Swakopmund) this International Expo is going to be the biggest Expo the country witnessed ever before . A very passionate Hafeni noted that part of NCCI Swakopmund's mandate is to uplift the business sector, as well as the development of the town. “We are working towards transforming Swakopmund into 'the place to be' and the time for the holiday town to play its part in the global economy is now,” he stated. According to the representative of Namibia Uranium Association, Ms Ailly Namupala, SWAITEX thus far has served as a unique opportunity to accelerate Swakopmund's development, turn it into a leisure town, create employment opportunities for the youth, and create opportunity for the development of the Erongo Region's infrastructure, transportation and logistics resources. She added that the expo will indeed serve as a unique opportunity to accelerate the coastal town's development and make the town a global hub for national and international business connections,
networking and investor attraction. Mr Andre Plaatjie (NCCI) made it clear that NCCI is not about making money, but to strengthen the local economy. The Expo's main purpose is to give businesses the opportunity to expose their products and services, as well as to get acquainted with other business partners. Last year a total of 121 stalls inside the venue (The Dome) were occupied by exhibitors, with approximately 60 outside. Up till now about 144 exhibitors from all business sectors have already confirmed and booked their stalls. This annual Swakopmund Expo was initiated during 2013 and was known as the NCCI Swakopmund Expo, before being renamed to the Swakopmund International Trade Expo. The first Expo was held at the open space opposite the Municipality and since then, the venue moved to the internationally acclaimed Swakopmund Indoor Sports Centre (The Dome), where it will again take place this year, from 7-10 October.

Four transformers left Walvis Bay early Wednesday morning and are on their way to Katima Mulilo. Road users are advised by the Walvis Bay Traffic Department to be vigilant when approaching the abnormal load. According to the Senior Traffic Officer, Mr Clifton Jacobs, each transformer is being escorted by its own two escort vehicles. “All road users are advised to be vigilant and to drive slow when they approach the abnormal load. There is no police escort
with them on their trip, but they are permitted to drive on the road. There are visible yellow lights and they are being escorted by their own vehicles. It will take them approximately one week to reach their destination,” he concluded.
Crocodile found in freezer Mavourlene !Gaës
Erongo Community Policing Affairs Officer Sergeant Ileni Shapumba has issued a warning against residents to refrain from hiding their keys on the roofs of their shacks as it makes it easier for anyone to just enter and take something. The warning follows an incident in which the police at the Kuisebmond Police station reacted on a frantic call from a resident at around five Wednesday afternoon, claiming that he found a baby crocodile in his freezer. The reptile was indeed identified as a baby crocodile of about 34cm long. The Ministry of Environment and Tourism was informed. According to 24-year-old Jouel Tuwilika (one of the men who reside in the shack where the crocodile was discovered) this is the first time he has encountered anything of this nature. “I found my brother standing outside with two guys and he had a look on his face that immediately told
me something was wrong, and had me worried.” “I greeted him and with the same look on his face he told me to go look in the freezer, I opened the fridge and saw it (the crocodile)”. When asked how it was possible that someone could had gained entrance to their shack, Tuwilika explained that it was possible. He just could not understand why someone would enter and place a crocodile in their freezer. “We are four men who share in the shack and for convenience we just hide the key on top of the roof. The key has been placed there for such a long time without any problem, and we got used to it.” Sergeant Shapumba warns, “You cannot leave a key
like that; it is too open for criminals. Residents are not being cautious enough and they should consider leaving their keys with someone they trust, like with the neighbours.” He says this is not only about crocodiles but also about housebreaking, because it also occurs in this manner.

Obtaining Fishing
Permits Obtain a permit from the Namibian Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources (MFMR) to catch fish or dive for crayfish and respect harvesting limitations. 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. Where can you get a license for angling, crayfish diving & bait/mussels collection?

Namibian Fishing Industry Remains concerned about Marine Phosphate Mining The Namibian fishing industry remains concerned about the potential environmental impacts on the Benguela marine ecosystem and the fishing industry, from proposed bulk marine phosphate mining. Matti T Amukwa of the Confederation of Namibian Fishing Associations wrote in a letter to the media: “Fish are renewable resources and if managed properly, can go on forever. As an industry, and also as a country, we cannot afford to put at risk our fishery sector’s future by experimenting with marine phosphate mining, which has not been proven anywhere in the world. In fact it has also been turned down to date, even with high quality environmental research, in other parts of the world such as New Zealand. A moratorium was placed on marine phosphate mining by the Cabinet of Namibia a little under two years ago to allow for an independent scientific assessment of the implications. What is required is rigorous hands-on research both at sea and experimental, to strategically assess the impacts from marine phosphate mining and processing. The studies will include development of good legislation to ensure effective environmental monitoring and control, if marine phosphate mining were to go ahead. For this Strategic Environmental Assessment to be carried out effectively, the moratorium on marine phosphate mining must remain in place. The value of a strategic assessment is that it must be completed before ariy marine phosphate mining is allowed: only once the Government is provided with the information of what long-term impact can be expected from this type of mining, can a decision be made on whether phosphate mining should proceed or not. Mining cannot take place before or during the studies! We note the Minister of Mines' recommendation that all stakeholders

should look at ways to tackle the issue of fishing and mining. We hear about research reports produced by the prospective Phosphate Mining companies, but find it strange that so far this information has not been shared with all stakeholders for public scrutiny and expert evaluation. If we are to co-exist, the information needs to be provided to all stakeholders so it can be properly scrutinized by independent experts in the field. LL Namibia Phosphates company director Kombadayedu Kapwanga’s presentation on phosphate mining was mentioned in the press: this apparently showed how phosphate mining could co-exist with marine fishing. The world is looking for an answer as there is a lack of knowledge on the environmental impacts of deep-sea mining yet Mr. Kapwanga seems to have the answer! If that is so, we and the world would all like to see it. LL Namibia Phosphates is claiming that tests at its multi-million dollar fertilizer production demonstration plant have so far proven that there is no harm to the marine environment in the offshore production of phosphate. This facility is based in Lűderitz, so we fail to see how LL Namibia Phosphates from this, can be confident that there will be no harm to the marine environment in the open ocean where the phosphate will be mined. It is commonly stated by the proponents of sea mining that phosphate mining will make Namibia self-sufficient in fertilizer production and create food security. Namibia is
an arid country with only limited potential for agriculture. Fertilizer enhances food security, but so does fishing. Namibia currently has a healthy horse mackerel fishery of about of 350 000 tonnes per year. This fish is being sold at very affordable prices in Namibia as well as a large number of African countries where it is a major contributor of protein to the community! The Ministry of Fisheries and Marine resources continues to promote the positive aspects of seafood and to make fish available at affordable prices through the Namibia Fish Consumption Promotion Trust, thereby contributing significantly to food security. Sea mining for phosphate is supposed to create substantial employment but the promoters of phosphate mining have not backed up the numbers of jobs that will be created with hard facts. Sea mining, is a high technology operation as is the upstream beneficial of phosphate, if that should ever come, requiring specialist skills which are not be available locally and specialists will need to be brought into the country, exporting jobs as it were rather than creating them. The Namibian fishing industry directly employs around 15 000 people, of which 96% are Namibians. Suppliers of services and goods to the industry create numerous more jobs. The sustainable management of the Namibian Fishing industry, leading to growth of the biomass and increased value addition in certain sectors of the industry, have the potential to substantially increase the amount of people making a
living, from sustainable jobs in the fishing industry, in the long run. The policy of ‘Namibianization’, which has been followed by the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources since independence, has ensured that a wide selection of the Namibian population are today rights holders, and are benefiting from the countries natural resources. This is in stark contrast to both the companies seeking mining rights for phosphate, also a natural Namibian resource, in which a small, selected number of Namibians, hold 15% of the share capital which means that 85% is held by foreign interests! If mining is allowed to start before it is unequivocally proven that phosphate mining does not harm the Benguella Current Ecosystem, a limited number of people will greatly benefit. If mining proves to be destructive and harms the ecosystem and needs to be halted, the foreign owners of the mining companies will walk away and Namibia as country will be left to cope with the fall out! The fishing industry respects the Government’s action to implement the moratorium. What is required first, is development of a good scientific baseline, before any decision on whether or not to go ahead with mining. The further planned studies for the moratorium will assess the changes that could be expected from that benchmark whether the environment would get worse or not, as a result of marine phosphate mining.”

Swakop is recycling Gigantic bones Marshallino Beukes
Rent-A-Drum has entered into an agreement with the Municipal Council of Swakopmund by investing in a Recycling Sorting Plant, promoting recycling and waste management in the coastal areas. Every household will receive an orange recycling wheelie bin implemented in phases from the Municipal Council of Swakopmund. Residents are requested to put the following recyclables into your orange recycling wheelie bin: News Papers, Glass, Plastic bottles, Carton boxes, Plastic bags, Paper, Milk / Juice boxes, Magazines, Cans and HDPE bottles, whereafter Rent-A-Drum will collect the recyclables free of charge on the same day as their normal black wheelie bin collection. The recycle programme will kick off with about 2 000 households, spread over all residential locations of Swakopmund. This will be a pilot project, and should the residents cor-porate well, phase two will see all households provided with the orange recycle bins.
Landmark decision by the Environmental Commissioner In Swakopmund Matters 16 – 2014 of 16 August 2014 SM applauded the Environmental Commissioner, Mr Teofilus Nghitila, when the media reported that he would not hesitate to take strong action in matters crucial to the environment, including those that are of great concern to the public. It was also gratifying at that time to note his remarks that · “no major projects, whether along the beachfront or inland, can go ahead without prior public consultation and approval from his office. If it is found that developers are not adhering to environmental management plans, the inspector can give an order to shut down such business with immediate effect;” · “public consultation with affected and interested parties is at the heart of the EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) process, and this represents a significant effort to democratise environmental management and sustainable development;” and · “he was proud of the coastal community for always standing their ground when it comes to the defense of the environment.” (http://www.namibtimes.net/forum/topics/nghitila-comes-to-inspect-mines-andquarries)
SM then thanked the Commissioner!
Today SM salutes him. He has now demonstrated that his warnings a year ago were not idle threats. His decision to take appropriate action by issuing a compliance order on the construction of the Swakopmund Waterfront Development is more than significant. It is of great consequence. His action is far reaching. His decision is a benchmark in Namibia striving for environmental excellence. He is willing and prepared to use the powers granted to him by law without fear or favour. He did not mince his words when he notified the Developer that he as the Commissioner had “noted with concern the undertaking of activities outside the scope of the EIA without an Environmental Clearance Certificate and that such actions contravened specific Environmental Regulations”. Those who henceforth do not take the Environmental Commissioner, his Office and his warnings serious are doing so at their own peril!

Break-in and shooting at Walvis Bay pharmacy A break-in at a pharmacy in Walvis Bay, involving two suspects, resulted in one suspect allegedly being shot three times by the owner of the pharmacy on Monday night. Len Nel Well done. Skiet hulle. Walvisbay Embroidery So my child suffer still after this type of scam entered my brother in law’s house and stab my child with a knife. They were caught and have a sentince of only 3 and a half years on prison. And after 10 years my child still have problems with the knife wound. They know so well to turn their backs on you because than the law is for them. Usuta Oom’Katta Ngavirue Why then own a firearm if you use it for the purpose you bought it for there’s a case of attempted murder opened against you? Can the Walvis Bay Commander tell us what we should do if we find someone breaking in our houses or business? Julene Thompson STOP GIVING CRIMINALS MORE RIGHTS THAN THE VICTIMS! Richard Kluge The Walvis Bay police is a joke anyway, just like the traffic department. They have a tendency to lock up the persons who stand up for themselves in a lot of similar situations like these. Aletta Taljaard When somebody enter YOUR house and so on by force They will also kill rape you or your love ones Criminals are Couwards and very dangerous. The Law protect criminals more than the victims Goverment must CHANGE it. Dennis Josua A case of attempted murder is open against the owner? Those thugs carry guns to. So one can't protected themselves and thier property from thieves anymore. The police always comes after five hours in favour of the criminals. M-cube Matthews People, remember no 1 is allowed to take one anothers life or to injure someone. So in this case both the owner and the suspect are charged! Democracy Namibian Law. You need to understand our law people and don’t worry the owner is not yet been found quilty he still a suspect too until the court will find him quilty/not quilty. Firstborn Inane Police officers please wake up and smell the coffee, nonsense. The owner tried to protect his properties. Elsa Clark Give that man A Bell’s. Wekies Uek Criminals are more protected by the law. Yolande Damster Belaglik. Die inbreker het die wet oortree nou is die man wat homself en sy eiendom beskerm in die moeilikheid? BELAGLIK! Shipepe Iiyambo Cmdr Ndeitunga make sure that all weapon owned by citizen must be taken out every one must weapon free. Any thing must be reported to the police we are titred of unnesecary shooting in this country
we are already protected by the GRN. Helga van der Merwe The way the one, who ran away, was dressed didnt seem to me as if he needed money. He was wearing “Brandname” jacket and shoes. Caylene Van Zyl Seeing that criminals live a “free” life in jail,many of them commit petty crimes to get back in prison to get free food & a roof over their heads. We can start putting a stop to this trend by not feeding them. Let their family/friends provide them with food every day! We tax payers should not be paying to keep alive people who does nothing for us/our country! Andre Beyer What is going on at our lovely town. Can nobody doing something about the safety of the people in Walvis Bay against these kind of criminal behaviour. Yandisa Mlomo U cant fire a weapon at someone fleeing/running away, that’s not self defense. And what if that stray bullet hit innocent people driving by? Esteban Blazic Well well here is a social problem that is not the responsabilty of the owner whatever business ia problem of the goverment in a case like where your business is broken o the thief brake in your house from the back from the front you must be able to defend your property yes he was running this does not exempt him to brake the private property is anybody 12o’clock at night looking for a job.-not Nampol must be responsable they go 40 to a stupid road block while the criminal enjoy free time. Maria Maasdorp Attempted murder for what.this corrupted law. David John Barty Remember, you may only use your weapon and shoot if there is a credible threat against your life. A thief running away is not a credible threat. He/she poses no danger to you. Yes, he/she broke the law but the court will ask what was the threat? Isack Muhoma Ndate Junior There’s nothing wrong with the owner using the gun to protect his/her property. John Martin Kotze I think it’s easy to comment if you’re not in that circumstance yourself. You may react completely differently when adrenaline takes over, you may still also feel under threat. Kudos to the owner, we as local business owners are TIRED of these criminals causing damage and loss over and over. Piteimo M Hainyanyula I guess the owner was in the parameters of the law at all times in this circumstances. Justine Polster Its the second time in a few months they broke into that specific pharmacy. So its fine if they break in and steal and run away? VanZyl Kiewiet Meyer Ons wet stelsel is ‘n klug.

“Only a miracle that they are alive” A motor vehicle accident occurred Saturday night on the B2 road near Vierkantklip, when the driver of a Golf allegedly sped and crashed into the back of a bakkie occupying approximately 14 persons. Maria Eduarda Irresponsible and wreckless drivers will never learn. They just don’t care about the dangers they cause to themselves and to the innocent others, when they are speeding, driving under the influence, overtaking when they shouldn’t, etc. the list is endless! In my

I mean if I would have a baby in the house there would be constant supervision over them? and the fact that 50 minutes went by before any emergency was contacted? I mean how does this happen? The fire brigade is say 10 minutes away from there? They might have still be alive if something was done way faster. And I agree with the Swakopmund resident that said when is something to be done about this? People who are going on about land, but yet we have more important things to look at the moment? This is seriously sad but
it is reality, immediate plans are made to give provide people with land to do what with if it is just going to be for an informal setup to be erected there again? Why does the government and all partaking stakeholders not look at more pending and important matter so fast? Like healthcare? Road safety? safer road infrastructures? Water problems?

We want Ngurare back I am Reinhold Shipwikeni - Swapo Party Erongo Regional Executive Committee member. I want to say the Swapo Party Youth League (SPYL) is unhappy with the expulsion of Elijah Ngurare and think it is unfair. We have a disciplinary committee and we fail to understand why his problem was not addressed by the disciplinary committee of Swapo Party. There is something I want to tell the Acting President of the ruling Swapo Party, Comrade Hage Gottfried to bring back Ngurare to the Swapo Party structure within 15 days or else he should resign from his post. Comrade Geingob was given the Parties top position as Acting President, but the aim behind giving him the seat was not to break the Party or to destroy the Party. As a top head of the Party, he should learn how to unite the party members and he must not misuse his position to destroy the Party. We need a unit in the Party, whether you like the person or not you need to respect your fellow comrades in the Party. Ngurare is a good and quality Swapo Party instrument that can build the Party and unite the Youth; we need him on the Party structure. Ngurare is also having his support and we need him again to lead as the SPYL Secretary. We have rights and obligations to demand until we get back Comrade Ngurare, he is the man always addressing the Nation's interests, not his own interests only. I just want to dismiss the remark/comment made by Comrade Hage Geingob when he said Ngurare was supposed to be expelled from the Swapo Party in 2013 in Swakopmund, Erongo region, which is totally wrong. We have the Party rules and procedures that say any member that made a mistake in the Party’s case should be submitted within 90 days.
It is therefore clear that Geingob did not meet the requirement to accuse Ngurare on the case of 2013 like he said, it means automatically the case has expired and that time Geingob was not a Swapo Party President, it was the former President of the Republic of Namibia. Dr Geingob should not use his position to expel Party members without valid reasons. They are also saying Ngurare was forcing the Government to service land and give the land to the nation. Yes, people need land, and everyone needs land and now Geingob is saying the land is now going to be serviced by the Government. If the Governement is going to service the land, it is because of who? That is my question. It was because of Ngurare who addressed the land issue that the Government should give land to people, therefore he must bring back Ngurare and we have election manifestos’ that are promising land to the people. The Country should thank SPYL for the land, if it was not for them the Government would still be saying there is no land. The truth must be spoken. Which countries donated the square metres of land to Namibia? Now they say a lot of plots are going to be serviced in Walvis Bay, Oshakati and Windhoek. Where did the land come from? Who gave us land to service? I also want to advise some of the regional leaders of the Swapo Party to stop spreading false politics, intimidating other members, threatening other members and undermining them to not address the necessary issues. They must stop threatening each other. Reinhold Shipwikeni Swapo Party Erongo Regional Executive Committee member

Introduction to the Wellness Service The Walvis Bay Corridor Group (WBCG) – a valuable smart partner in namib times/PEPFAR’s HIV/Aids awareness campaign - established its first HIV/AIDS Help Desk in 2003, in order to address the adverse effects of HIV/AIDS in the transport sector. In 2008, the WBCG Wellness Service initiative was transformed into a holistic Wellness component to address not only HIV/AIDS related issues but also to improve the general health and wellness of the transport workers in Namibia. This effort is applied on the principles of smart partnerships and is
addressed in a comprehensive and cost-effective way through combined efforts and shared resources with its transport member companies and indeed with the broader Namibian transport sector. Through its broader membership the WBCG offers a platform that facilitates and supports the fight against HIV/
AIDS and the provision of general wellness services in the transport and logistics industry as well as along the major transport corridors and Namibian port communities. By doing so it reaches a wide, traditionally and generally perceived high HIV and AIDS key affected audience within various sectors in Namibia.
It has also become apparent that in order to address the advent health needs of hard to reach populations such as long distance truck drivers and many other mobile communities within the transport sector, the WBCG project is implementing a “mixed model approach” with a principle of combining static

We provide the following services at our Roadside Wellness Clinic: HIV testing and counselling CD4 Count Measurements / Tests STI screening and treatment Risk reduction counselling Social behaviour change & communication sessions Basic Primary Health Care Hypertension / Blood Pressure (BP) Glucose screening TB screening Condom distribution Referrals to appropriate treatment, care and support services
ing such as peer education - training programmes and senior management cadres’ presentations on the impact of HIV/AIDS at workplace level were conducted but more still needs to be done. Senior management commitment towards the project has resulted in improved participation of workers in HIV/ AIDS and Wellness programmes at the workplace and has demonstrated significant potential for supporting sustainable approaches. Two Mobile Wellness Clinics were procured within the last two years and are currently used to visit various transport companies and allied industries to provide on-site wellness screening services. Additionally, the project now fully operates three Roadside wellness clinics located in Oshikango, Katima Mulilo and Walvis Bay respectively. The medication and other medical consumables are supplied by the Ministry of Health and Social Services through our Public Private Partnership model. Moreover, the WBCG Wellness initiative is on course to achieve its strategic initiative of being self - sustainable and a profit-making centre within the WBCG. The project has also managed to keep the
HIV positivity rates within the transport sector below 10% over the past three (3) years. The WBCG Wellness Service initiative supports the core functions and mandate of the broader WBCG such as the facilitation trade of business development amongst various countries in a sense that the transport and logistics industry has employed a large number of mobile groups such as long distance truck drivers, who are crossing borders every day and sometimes engaging in risky behaviours with groups such as sex workers which, if not addressed can lead to HIV infection. If the drivers of our cargo continue to perish due to HIV/AIDS or other non-communicable diseases such as high blood pressure, cancer, cholesterol etc, then this will have an adverse effect on our economy in the long term as the industry will struggle to replace skilled drivers. Therefore, the WBCG Wellness Service supports these core mandate by building a network of Roadside Wellness Clinics around the country to ensure that transport workers can access health services wherever they are in the country in order to stop the further spread of HIV rates.
If you think you have been exposed to HIV please visit our Roadside Wellness Clinic in Walvis Bay to get a free, confidential HIV test today.

COMMUNITY NEWS Duneside High Matrics receive their Matric farewell invitations Liesl Losper The Grade 12 students of Duneside High received their Matric farewell invitations yesterday at 10:30 at the school. The parents of these children are the organisers of this farewell, after weeks of controversy over the matrics’ 40 Days. Yesterday’s event happened amidst tensions after students had their 40 Days celebration a month ago, which ended in a nightmare for the students and cost them their Valedictory. A Letter was sent to the Governing Body of Duneside high school from the parent representative, Mr. Yul Campher. This letter is to request a meeting between the parent’s and the board to resolve the issue regarding the reinstatement of the students Veledictory. “I have received a verbally date for the meeting for the 17th or either the 18th. We intend to discuss matters and see if we can move all differences aside and look to what is important for the learners and to see that they finalize their last school year in a good way” Yul said. The valedictory saga continues, but the farewell is set and the children are grateful for their parents who are doing this out of their own pockets The parents arrived at the school while the school had they last assembly before the closing for the holidays. The theme for this year Matric farewell is “Vintage” and the invitations were also delivered in line with the theme. “Mrs Van” as she introduced herself, came with a vintage Mercedes Benz. She handed the invitations to HOD Mr Eric Feris, who handed the invitations to the principal of Dunes High School, Mrs. Einbeck. She handed it to the matrics. “We feel so lucky that we have our parents who support us and make special moments like these in our high school careers possible. Without our parents would not have been able to celebrate this important event with a smile on our faces.” one of the learners said after they received the surprise from the parents side. “We still believe our children deserve their Matric farewell, but especially their Valedictory. We still hope and believe that the school will grant the children, their most special

Die Duinesig Skoolkoor het met ‘n Goue toekenning huistoe gekom van die ATKV Applous Finaal in Suid Afrika, nadat hulle amper hulle optrede verpas het. Hulle het meer as 24 uur lank by die grenspos in ‘n bus gesit weens die Suid-Afrikaanse regering se regulasies. Volgens ‘n artikel geskryf deur Izak De Vries, op die ATKV webwerf het ‘Bessie Keun, ATKV-Applous Projekorganiseerder, verduidelik dat die ATKV moeite gedoen het om die kinders en die skool in te lig oor Suid-Afrika se vereistes. Die kinders hét volledige geboortesertifikate by hulle gehad, maar toe ontdek die grensbeamptes klein verskille tussen die geboorte-sertifikate en kopieë van ouers se dokumentasie wat die geboorteserti-fikate vergesel het. Dit het veroorsaak dat die Suid-Afrikaanse kant nie die groep kon toelaat om die land binne te
kom nie. Keun vertel dat sy toe die grenspos gebel het. Daar het sy die menslike sy van die burokrasie teengekom. Me Happy Mashiane het die saak op haar geneem. “Sy het baie moeite gedoen,” sê Keun. “Sy het selfs haar eie foon vir die kinders gegee om te bel sodat hulle planne kon beraam om die probleem op te los.”’ “Ná baie moeite en rondbellery is die bus met die kinders deurgelaat. Volgens Florida Augustus, woordvoerder vir die koor, is al die leerders uiteindelik deurgelaat, danksy die harde werk van Mashiane. Die adminstratiewe romp-

Otniel Tjombe en Japie Gouws, Hoofbestuurder van die ATKV-groep slomp het egter gemaak dat hulle nie meer vir die groot prys in aanmerking sou kon kom nie, want hulle moes Donderdagaand meegeding het en die bus het eers vier uur die
Vrydagmiddag by die gasteplaas in Uitenhage opgedaag waar hulle akkommodasie bespreek het. Die organiseerders van ATKV-Applous het gevoel die koor moet steeds toegelaat word om op te tree, al sou hulle nie meer vir die prys in aanmerking kom nie.” “Hulle is toe genooi om die Vrydagaand op te tree saam met die finaliste van die Afrikaanse Hoërskole. Hulle sou vooraf oefentyd kry, dan optree.” “En daar verdwaal hulle weer. Uiteindelik het ‘n fotograaf van Die Burger, wat die storie gevolg het, die bus opgespoor en na die Veremarksaal begelei. Dit was te laat om vooraf
te oefen, maar tydens pouse is die koor die geleentheid gegee om te oefen. Ná die laaste koor op die program toe klaar was, is Duinesig Combined School se koor die geleentheid gegee om op te tree,” vertel De Vries in sy artikel. Hul is daarna met 'n goue sertifikaat vereer, en was die algehele wenners van die Nie Afrikaanssprekend, minder ervare, gemeng-dehoërskoolkoorkategorie. Hul het ook sertifkate gekry vir ‘Beste voorgeskrewe werk’, ‘beste traditionele lied’ asook ‘beste uitrustings.’ Otniel Tjombe, koor leier, sê deur ‘al die drama het hul baie goed gevaar’, en hy is trots op wat hul bereik het.

Jam sessions create awareness of service excellence As part of the initiative “The Power of One Voice” the Canadian musician and speaker, Dave Carroll, has been on tour in Namibia with Gondwana Collection (one of the event sponsors) from 6 to 12 August to promote his service delivery message and to promote his travels through some of Namibia’s tourist highlights for people around the world who have been following his trip online. He was accompanied by the South African rock duo “The Professors” and the Namibian musician Richard Redecker. The trip included visits to Sossusvlei, Walvis Bay and Swakopmund, Twyfelfontein and the Etosha National Park, which was infused with spontaneous jamming sessions and the heartfelt Namibian hospitality extended by the different Gondwana lodges. Back in Windhoek Dave Carroll will be the headline speaker at a breakfast presentation addressing 350 of Namibia’s business leaders, at the Safari Court Hotel. Dave will be delivering his message of ‘The importance of customer services excellence in today’s social media connected world.’ In the evening Dave Carroll will again be the keynote speaker in the Gondwana Hall on the Windhoek Showgrounds, where he will be sharing his story with Namibian hospitality professionals. Guests will be entertained afterwards by Dave and “The Professors.” With ‘The Power of One Voice’, a group of leading Namibian brands have united in their shared purpose to enhance national and business leader awareness of the importance of service excellence – namely Air Namibia, Bank Windhoek, Gondwana Collection, Namibia Tourism Board and Safari Hotels. Carroll achieved social media fame after United Airlines failed to adequately respond to damage caused to his valuable Taylor guitar. His retaliatory music clip ‘United Breaks Guitars’ has reached 15 million people to date, and a cost to the airline in lost bookings of an estimated US$180 million. He has since become a sought-after speaker and customer service delivery advocate around the world.

Folge 2 von 3 (Swakopmund (sk) Callista Mühlbach (geb. Gebser), die heute als 87jährige in der Prinzession-Rupprecht-Residenz lebt, erinnert sich an ihre Kindheit in Maltahöhe, wo ihr Vater Hans einen Store betrieb. Dort gab es alles, was ein Farmer so braucht, sogar Benzin, das mit einer Schwengelpumpe abgezapft wurde. Callista und ihre Geschwister wogen Zucker und Maismehl in Tüten ab. Mutter Anna (geb. Stelzmann) nähte Puppenkleider nach Schnittmuster. Etwa 1935 beschlossen Anna und Hans Gebser, die Farm Nudupsdrift zu kaufen, die ihnen von der Verwaltung von Maltahöhe wegen der schlechten, trockenen Lage für einen Spottpreis von 1000 Pfund angeboten worden war. Anna machte sich mit
Callista Mühlbachs Vater: Der 1891 geborene und in Hamburg aufgewachsene Hans Gebser hat sich bereits als junger Mann von etwa 17 Jahren ohne das Wissen seiner Eltern als Küchenjunge in der Kombüse eines Schiffes anheuern lassen, bevor er in Südwestafrika landete. Dort ist er als Koch mit einer Filmgesellschaft auf einem Ochsenwagen zum Okavango getreckt, bevor er seine erste Stelle als Koch und Konditor in einem Hotel in Lüderitz antrat. Vor 1928 betrieb er auch ein Geschäft in Maltahöhe, später dann die Farm Nutupsdrift. Er war passionierter Jäger und Maler. Foto: Privat!
Das von Hans Gebser 1942 erbaute Haus in Wlotzkasbaken im Jahre 1949. Jeder Balken, jede Latte wurde mühevoll mit der Hand zurechtgesägt, und die Türen und Tore dieses Häuschens sind in der Verschlusstechnik eine derartige Meisterleistung, dass es dort bis heute keinen Einbruch gab. Das Haus aus Holz und grüner Dachpappe mit einer Garage, Wohnzimmer und zwei Schlafzimmern war die Seligkeit der Familie Gebser. Es gab sogar ein Plumpsklo mit Sicht aufs Meer, den sg.Thron! Das Häuschen, oder Schlösschen, wie Callista es nennt, existiert noch heute und befindet sich im Besitz von Callista Mühlbachs Tochter und Hans Gebsers Enkelin Dorothea Jooste. Malerei: Privat!-

Um die gleiche Zeit ließ sich Hans Gebser von Albert Maraun (1882-1957) einen Ochsenwagen mit einer Nutzlast von fünf Tonnen für den Bau der Farmgebäude auf Nudupsdrift bauen. Heute steht dieser Wagen restauriert am Maltahöhe Hotel. Der Name Nudupsdrift ist abgeleitet von dem dortigen Rivier Hutup. Irgendein Beamter hatte dem Whisky mehr Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt als der Orthographie, und so wurde aus Hutupsdrift Nudupsdrift offiziell eingetragen. Die drei Töchter der Gebsers (Callista, Lindi und Lotti) konnten das Farmleben nur in den Ferien genießen. Sie besuchten in den 30iger Jahren die Schule in Gibeon, bevor diese wegen dem zunehmenden Einfluss der deutschen Nationalsozialisten geschlossen wurde. Danach ging es nach Windhoek an das Convent of the Holy Cross. Zum Glück gab es Schulferien. Von der Farm aus fuhren die Gebsers dann öfter mit einem Chevrolet Laster nach Wlotzka, um ihren Urlaub am Meer zu verbringen - zuerst in einem Zelt, und dann in einem von Hans Gebser erbauten Haus, das neben der kleinen Lehmhütte von dem alten Wlotzka sowie den Domizilen von Adam Risser und Dr. Leitner zu den ersten Wlotzka-Häusern gehörte......

Liebe Küstenleser! Während in weiten Teilen unserer bewohnten Erde Hungersnot herrscht, sieht man auf ihrer besseren, nämlich ,,betuchten” Seite ein noch hässlicheres Gesicht: das Wettessen. Ein zu wenig an Nahrungsmitteln entspringt nämlich in den meisten Fällen nicht dem eigenen Wunsch des betrof-
heitssystem eines Staates. Immer wieder wird von Verletzten oder Toten bei diesen Fressorgien berichtet. So starb in Deerfield Beach, Florida, USA der 32-jährige Edward Archbold nach einem K a k e r l a k e n - We t t essen. Ein Ukrainer bezahlte seinen Sieg bei einem WarenikiWettessen mit dem Le-

Als Wettessen bezeichnet man, nach Wikipedia, einen Wettbewerb zwischen zwei oder mehr Teilnehmern, die in einer bestimmten Zeit möglichst viel von den ihnen vorgesetzten Speisen verzehren müssen (bzw. wollen - das füge ich hier hinzu!) In der finnischen Stadt Akaa wurde beispielsweise 2005 die Weltmeisterschaft im Mämmi-Wettessen ausgetragen. Mämmi ist ein Brei, der aus Roggenschmalz hergestellt und traditionell zur Osterzeit verzehrt wird. In dem slowakischen Ort Turecká wird jährlich ein BrimsennockenFestival veranstaltet, zu dem beispielsweise gleichfalls ein Wettessen gehört. In den USA wird jedes Jahr zum Independence Day das Internationale Hot-Dog-Wettessen in New York ausgetragen . Ein einziges Eigenschaftswort genügt, um mein Gefühl zu dieser Fresserei zu beschreiben: ekelhaft! Die Völlerei - wenn Teilnehmer dieser widerlichen Wettbewerbe Unmengen von Nahrungsmitteln verschlingen - , ist nicht nur ein Schlag ins Gesicht aller Menschen, die ungewollt hungern müssen. Sie belastet außerdem das Gesund-
ben. Der 77-jährige Gewinner fiel nach dem Turnier zu Boden und starb offenbar an Organversagen. Nun, ich habe hier nicht das geringste Mitleid, sondern bin lediglich besorgt über die Einstellung, die diese Fressmaschinen zu kostbaren Lebensmitteln haben. Mir ist es völlig egal, ob der Massenkonsum von Esswaren Kreislaufkollapse, Nierenversa-

Der berühmteste Wettesser Chinas hat als Kind die Essenreste seines Lehrers vertilgt und wuchs in der Planwirtschaft auf, wo es gutes Essen und Fleisch nur zu besonderen Gelegenheiten gab. Ich muss gerade wieder an die ergreifende Szene aus dem Kriegsfilm ,Der Pianist’ denken, als der polnische Musiker und seine drei Familienmitglieder sich einen im Gefangenenlager teuer erkauften Bonbon teilen, indem sie ihn in vier winzige Stückchen schneiden.

Monthly Monitor: July 2015 High levels of global debt, the China growth slowdown, the Greek debt crisis as well as a stronger dollar have left emerging markets (EM's) gasping for air. Market Review: Commodities have slipped into a downward trend as Chinese demand continues to weaken. EM exporters are the ones bearing the brunt, especially the oil producers. Weaker EM currencies have not been able to spur demand as the global economy struggles with
sluggish growth. Gold shares have declined almost 22% for the month of July, according to analysts at Seed Investments. At some point resource prices may turn up, but for now the falling prices are classic indicators of a low and slow growth global economy with excess capacity, generally low inflation and low demand, says BCA researchers. See Table 1 below for asset class returns over various periods:

Both China and Japan continue to stimulate their economies. 路 SA In mid-July South Africa raised its reporate by 25 basis points to 6%, done mainly in the hopes of preventing near-future inflation problems. SA equities fell alongside most other emerging economies on worries over commodity demand from China. The country needs a stable electricity supply and labour market in order to boost economic activity. Reduced imports signal sluggish domestic economic activity and a lack of fixed investment spending, says Stan-lib analysts.
Over a 1-year period our portfolios have not managed to reach their benchmarks. Several factors have contributed to this lower than expected performance, including the worries mentioned above over EM's due to the Greece debt issue and a slowdown in Chinese demand. Commodity exporters are struggling
Over the longer-term our portfolios have all managed to beat their benchmarks. Valuations and Risks: 路 US Although inflation is not yet near the 2% target, the United States economy is showing signs that it is ready for its first rate hike possibly later this year. These signs include increased home sales, decreasing unemployment, and a stronger currency. Despite US equities being considered fair-to-expensively valued, the index managed a positive month in July. 路 EU The European Union started the month still in distress over Greek debt issues, but after further bailout plans were negotiated, the EU saw its equities index gain and manufacturing activity pick up. The euro had weakened for the first part of the month, helping the economy to deal with all the Greece stress, but has since recovered. 路 ASIA Japan's trade deficit narrowed and inflation remains at a 2 year low, whilst the equity market had a positive month. The Chinese stock market experienced a significant drop before making a slight recovery as authorities attempt to support their equity market. Concerns continue over China's slowing GDP growth and its weakened demand for commodities.
Table 2: Portfolio Returns over a 12-Month Period:
In Conclusion: When markets are experiencing as much volatility as they have in the past month (or two or three), it is important to manage exposure to different asset classes, different sectors as well as different economies. Diversification remains the key to managing risk in investor portfolios. Hendrie Scheun, MSc (Financial Economics) (London) is a qualified economist with wide international and local experience.

Liane van Dyk from Pretoria Wins Ranger Odyssey 2015 Pretoria resident Liane van Dyk has been announced as the winner of the 2015 Ranger Odyssey following 12 days of evaluation and competition while travelling 2 000km through the remote Damaraland and Kaokoland regions of Namibia. The announcement was made at the gala dinner for Ford's Go Further event in Sandton tonight. The 23-year-old computer programmer and part-time DJ beat 19 other contestants to the title, including 13 from South Africa, two each from Nigeria and Ivory Coast, and one each from Angola and Mozambique. "We had a fantastic group of dynamic and very competitive contestants in this year's Ranger Odyssey, and it was great to have five African countries represented this year," says Tracey Delate, General Marketing Manager, Ford Motor Company of Sub-Saharan Africa. "Liane was among the front-runners throughout the event, and showed consistently high scores in all of the aspects, from driving right through to the general knowledge tests. Her energy and enthusiasm also shone through, making her one of the clear favourites, and we are delighted to see her win the 2015 title," Delate adds. Along with being crowned the winner of Ranger Odyssey 2015, Van Dyk also wins an Odyssey-spec Ranger for a year, plus R5 000 fuel per month to continue exploring the rich culture and beauty of the African continent - all behind the wheel of the accomplished 'Built Ford Tough' Ranger which proved its outstanding capabilities in some of Africa's most arduous terrain. Van Dyk, who describes herself as an adventure junkie that's built for the outdoors and off-roading, began her life-changing Ranger Odyssey adventure with Boot Camp in the small Karoo town of Prince Albert during June, where she emerged as one of the Top 20 contestants selected from the initial group of 40 chosen from the thousands of online entries received for this year's event. The 20 finalists jetted off from Johannesburg to Windhoek on 23 July to begin their amazing journey through some of the most challenging yet beautiful terrain Namibia has to offer. From the first sub-zero night in Spitzkoppe via Palmwag and Desolation Valley to the final stop at the base of Brandberg, Namibia's highest mountain, the contestants experienced a wide variety of Namibia's best destinations, most spectacular scenery and amazing 4x4 trails. It was far from a leisurely tour, however, as each contestant was evaluated and scored daily on their convoy and off-road driving skills, camp etiquette, team work and communication skills, leadership qualities and adaptability. There were also a series of special tasks and assessments on general knowledge related to Namibia and the African continent, celestial navigation, GPS navigation, as well as vehicle maintenance and recovery techniques. In an interesting twist for this year's event, there were two elimination rounds where the two lowest-scoring contestants left the group on day four, and another three departed on day eight.

Dream of designing a Volkswagen comes true Lonwabo Sila has dreamt of designing a car for the past seven years and yesterday, 12 August 2015 his dream became a reality. As part of the Reach for a Dream initiative, the 17 year-old Lonwabo spent a day at the Volkswagen Motorsport in Uitenhage to learn what being a car designer entails.
Johan Smit, Chief Designer: Volkswagen South Africa Motorsport took Lonwabo through a theory and practical session which included the process of designing a Volkswagen, computer simulations and the different design components of the car. After a tour of the Volkswagen Motorsport facilities, Lon-
wabo headed over to the AutoPavilion where he put to practical use what he had learnt from Motorsport's Chief Designer. "I have had a very interesting day but the best part about today was actually sitting with Johan Smit and learning about how one actually goes about designing a car," said the Grade 11 Lady Grey
Arts Academy student. A hobby which started o ff w i t h i n n o c e n t drawings of cartoon characters blossomed into a detailed sketchbook with various drawings of cars and now Lonwabo plans to study design after he finishes high school next year with hopes of one day being a professional car designer.
Lonwabo also had the opportunity to be testdriven in the Engen Audi S4 Production race car when the racing driver, Simon Moss took him for a few speedy laps at the Aldo Scribante Race Track. "We are very proud as Volkswagen that we have made yet another child's dream come true and we are equally
happy to partner with the Reach for a Dream Foundation in trying to inspire South Africa's youth," said Mike Rowe, Head of Volkswagen South Africa Motorsport. The Reach for a Dream Foundation gives hope to South African children fighting lifethreatening diseases through the fulfilment of their dreams.

What makes a Dad God took the strength of a mountain, the majesty of a tree, the warmth of a summer sun, the calm of a quiet sea, the generous soul of nature, the comforting arm of night, the wisdom of the ages, the power of the eagle’s flight, the Joy of morning in spring, the faith of a mustard seed, the patience of eternity the depth of a family need, then God combined these qualities, when there was nothing more to add, He knew His masterpiece was complete, and so, He called it... “Dad!” The years we’ve shared have been full of joy. The memories we’ve made will go on and on. We haven’t stopped crying since you went away, and we’ve asked God time and time why you couldn’t stay. You lit up our lives, our hopes, and our dreams. You’ve opened our eyes to see what it all means. So now that you’re gone how can we forget; Because you were the greatest out of all we have ever met. We will always love you Yvonne, Cynthia & Lylah
God saw you getting tired, a cure was not to be He wrapped you in His loving arms and whispered “come with me” You suffered much in silence, Your spirit did not bend. You faced your pain with courage, until the very end. You tried so hard to stay with us but your fight was not in vain, God took you to his loving home and freed you from the pain. We will miss you Flakka, Sonja, Ivo, Alastair and Allison
Dad & Grandfather God called on you We begged and prayed Let him stay God said “No more” We asked for a little more God saw you’re suffering... We said, “We will suffer.” He granted us more time We sincerely hope this time was not in vain. Finally God decided. And we have to obey. It’s been good Dad. It’s been lovely We’ll remember the good times. Rest in peace. Love Alton, Lynsay, Michael, Lyton, Nadjah and Timothy
God looked around his garden and found an empty space Then He looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest God’s garden must be beautiful He only takes the best From André, Bianca, Chandré and Ciara We just wanted to let you know You mean’t the world to us Only a heart so dear as yours Would give so unselfishly. The many things you’ve done All the times that you were there Helped us know deep inside How much you really cared Even though we might not say We appreciate all you did Richly blessed is how we feel To had a Granddad just like you We love you and will miss you, Ivo, Micheal, Lyton, Nadjah, Chandré, Allison, Ciara, Timmy and Lylah

Namibia athletes to All Africa Games Young Gymnasts strut their stuff Namibia will send 79 athletes to the 11th edition of the All Africa Games set for Brazzaville in the Republic of the Congo from 4 to 19 September 2015. The 2015 All Africa Games will mark the 50th anniversary of the games, as well as its return to Brazzaville, which hosted the first edition in 1965. About 22 sports codes have been announced for this year's games, plus athletics and swimming for athletes with disabilities. Namibia will participate in athletics, boxing, cycling, karate, swimming, tennis, table tennis, gymnastics, and sports for the disabled. Team Namibia Chef de Mission,
Roger Kambatuku told Nampa on Wednesday that it is very important for Namibia to attend these games. “Our athletes get a chance to compete against the best on the continent and the experience gained from these participation goes a long way in improving their games and becoming better athletes,” he said. Kambatuku added that he is hopeful that the athletes selected will perform better this year. “Four years ago in Maputo (Mozambique), we finished 19th and now we are aiming to better that position. We have a great team of talented and quality athletes who can rise to the occasion on any day. We are aiming for a top-10 finish and anything higher will be great,” he stated. Team Namibia also consists of 43 officials. NAMPA

According to NBC news, this will be the first time that the Gladiators will take part in the competition that features three Spanish clubs and an Italian club, besides Namibia and Venezuela. Coach Jacky Shipanga says the girls have been hard at work in preparation for the tournament. The team will be accompanied by the President of the Namibia Football Association, Frans Mbidi.The tour is in preparation for the qualifying games of the Women's Championship that will take place in Cameroon next year. The Brave Gladiators are in Group A with Atletico Bilbao and Levante, while Group B consists of Valencia, Venezuela and Juventus. They will play their first match against Levante tomorrow (Saturday) and will face Atletico Bilbao on Monday.

Junior Cricket Festival next week in Walvis Bay The Welwitschia Cricket Club will host the 19th edition of their annual Junior Cricket Festival from 17 to 21 August in Walvis Bay. The prestigious event will see U11 and U13 teams from Windhoek Gymnasium, Walvis Bay High, Pro-Ed, !Nara Primary School, Windhoek Afrikaanse Privaatskool, Walvisbaai Laer and St. George's go head-to-head over five days at the coast. “My wish is that this year's festival will also be played in good spirit and that it will give all the cricketers and coaches the opportunity to prepare for the upcoming school cricket leagues” said the head of the organising committee, John Heynes. Similar hopes and expectations were expressed by Andre Snyman, Managing Director of Walvis Bay Salt Refiners who have taken over as main sponsors for the first time. He said: “This 19th tournament is a very special event and also a unique opportunity for every young cricket player. Many players who participated in this tournament progressed through the ranks and later represented Namibia even at senior national level.” This prestigious cricket festival had its origin in 1997 under the Welwitschia Schools Academy and was called the Interschool Cricket Championships and made provision for under 11 and 13's only.
The JCF became a regular feature on the Namibian School calendars ever since. It also won the International Cricket Council (ICC)'s development awards for best junior cricket promotional programdevelopment initiative in 2003 and 2006. For many years this event has given the players great pleasure and allowed them to develop their skills. As a matter of interest: 11 members of the Namibian U19 squad that participated in the 2014 ICC U19 Cricket World Cup in Dubai played at this festival in 2007 & 2008. This festival's main focus is on cricket development and the promotion of the game.

This year a men's team was entered in the NHU outdoor league. The league started recently only with two games being played so far. They lost against WOBSC but came back strong to beat UNAM 4-1 in their second game. A number of junior representatives play for the Namibian outdoor teams. They've been on tour already where they performed very well. The following players were selected in the respective age groups: Judite Correia – NSSU u/16 Julene Loedolff – NSSU u/16 Nicole Wille – NSSU u/18 Johan Brand – NSSU u/16 Meiring von der Fecht – NSSU u/16 Christiaan Loedolff – NSSU u/18 Jason Paschke – NSSU u/18 Due to citizenship, Zanne-Mari Niemand was not allowed to play in the NSSU u/18 team, but she played in the NHU u/21 Namibian Team, who participated in the IPT tournament in South Africa earlier this year. She has been selected for the Training squad of Gooische Dames, a top ladies hockey club in Holland.

Nedbank announces: Desert Dash 2015 is Back! Staff Reporter
The good news for cyclists comes after an agreement was reached between Nedbank and the principal organiser of the event, Mr Aidan de Lange. The essence of the popular race will remain largely the same, as the history of the race has proven to be a hit with cyclists and spectators alike over the years. At the event of the announcement, Richard Meeks, Nedbank Namibia’s Chief Operating Officer, said the Bank is excited about the prospect of growing the popularity of the race and adding to its ever-growing reputation as an experience not to be missed. “Nedbank Namibia can surely be considered as the greatest corporate supporter of cycling in Namibia. With the addition of the Desert Dash to our historic Nedbank Cycle Challenge, as well as the road race and mountain bike series, we are quite
excited that we now offer all cycling enthusiasts a singular experience every time they participate in a Nedbank-sponsored event,” said Meeks. De Lange expressed his delight at the fact that the race that he has nurtured to its current eminence now has a new sponsor on board. “Nedbank Namibia has always shown that it has the development of cycling at its heart. I am excited to see what we can jointly do to make the 2015 Nedbank Desert Dash the best experience ever, given Nedbank’s proficiency at hosting
premier cycling races,” said De Lange. The entry dates for the event, which takes place on 11 of December this year, have already been confirmed. They are as follows: Entries for the Solo Event open on Monday, 31 August at 10:00 Entries for the 2-Man Event open on Friday, 4 September at 10:00 Entries for the 4-Man Event open on Friday, 11 September at 10:00 The number of entries is limited – it’s a first come, first served basis. Further announcements and more detailed in-
formation regarding the registration process will be made available on the Nedbank Desert Dash website (www.DesertdashNamibia.com) on 18 August 2015. “We look forward to working with the entire cycling community to present participating cyclists with an incredibly exciting event,” concluded Meeks. Manny Heymans and Leander Borg will be in charge of the 369 kilometre, 24 hour race. The previous sponsor of the Desert Dash was FNB Namibia.
