HEAR OUR CRY: A group of former and retired fishermen arrived unexpectedly with placards at the Walvis Bay Town Hall yesterday before the Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Bernard Esau, was due to give his annual address to the fishing industry. The group staged a peaceful protest in order to draw the minister's attention to their plight which relates to them not benefitting from the fishing industry they had helped to build and wanting to know what they should do to be awarded a fishing quota. Officials moved quickly and confiscated the placards from the group. They then extended an invitation to them to meet with the Permanent Secretary after the Minister’s address. The group accepted. The media was barred from attending the session between them and the minister. Picture by Mavourlene Gaes

I told him to stop but he ignored me and kept on touching my breasts. I pushed his hand away then he just said, oh sorry! He showed the art trick to the boy and then told the boy to leave. I was alone with him and he asked for my phone number. He said he liked me but I said I cannot give it to him.” The school principal was approached for comment. “My impression of him was that he was a gentleman and presented himself well. He said he is from India and was selling art booklets for N$60 a book. He did a small demonstration and made two flower-like paper art pieces. I told him that I will buy 10 books from him, but that I had to go draw the money at the bank. He waited for me to draw the money. Upon my return I found a child with him in the office where he waited. I gave him the money and he left and said that he will return, because we were still debating whether we wanted to buy more books. After he left, one of the girls approached me and told me what happened. She said the man touched their breasts and buttocks and they took photos of him touching one girl,” she said. According to the school principal, the man told her he already visited various schools in Walvis Bay. “He showed me photos of the schools he visited. Thus I thought he was legit. According to the children he touched three children I am utterly shoc-

ked. I want to warn the schools in Walvis Bay to be on the lookout for this man and to not let him near any school and this goes for the whole Erongo Region. He is targeting schools and has already gained entry to a lot of schools.” The news-

Other schools say he has done art demonstrations, but when asked for contact details he apparently had no phone. Another school said that he was very persistent to do the demonstrations or to sell books, but was asked to leave. The Picture proof of the incident

paper spoke to different schools in Walvis Bay to ask if they have seen this man at their school. Five schools confirmed that this man visited their school. According to them he has a dark complexion, states that he is from India and gives art demonstrations and sells booklets. Some schools asked him to leave. Some reiterated that it was strange to them that he did not want to take no for an answer, but they kept on saying he must leave.

Namib Times got hold of his contact number and asked him for comment regarding the allegations towards him. “No madam I am an Indian teacher. I never touched them. You have to trust me. I am correct and they are wrong. I am only a teacher and never touched them,” he reiterated. He was asked for a second time if he touched the girls. “No madam I never ever touched them, I am just an art teacher,” he said.

Towns and villages in the Erongo Region were discouraged to have individual celebrations and the Governor encouraged them to rally their constitutions and subsequent resources, in support of the Regional Celebration. He furthermore called upon all Namibians, both in their personal and professional capacities, to voluntarily contribute towards

this milestone event. The Finance Committee will be chaired by Me Nathalia /Goagoses. In conclusion Mr Mutjavikua urged Erongo residents to heed this call and to save the date of 5 April 2014, when all roads will lead to Walvis Bay. The festivities will take place at the Kuisebmond Stadium and transport will be provided.

Case of child murder and mutilation under investigation Jade McClune The body of an unknown female was discovered by a passer-by in the dunes behind Narraville on Thursday morning. The Police was alerted immediately and investigated the area. The mystery then deepened when footprints including wheel tracks of a dustbin were found leading from Kuisebmond to the scene and back to Kuisebmond, 3 houses from the suspected murder scene. It is believed that the suspect murdered the woman in a shack in the new location area of Kuisebmond, put the woman in the wheeled dustbin and carted her across to where her body was dumped and covered in a blanket. The exact cause of death is still unknown as there were no visible indications of external injuries. The woman's ex-boyfriend is a suspect but has not been arrested yet. Investigations are still ongoing. Picture by Piquet Jacobs

Old woman dies of hunger and thirst Jade McClune An old woman died of hunger and thirst after she went in search of some sustenance last month. Katrina Swartz (60) lived in conditions of extreme poverty with her daughter and grandchildren in a one-room shack on the outskirts of Swakopmund. Her daughter, Andrina Swarts says that, contrary to stories doing the rounds that her mother had set out on foot to Khorixas because of hunger and desperation and had starved to death on the way, their whole family had actually gone to a place near Goanikontes last month where her mother later died. Mrs Swarts had left the family on 21 February, but was found dead three days later. Mrs Swarts had apparently intended to go to an area near Goanikontes, which is popular with tourists, in search for food and tobacco, but the conditions were very misty at the time and it is possible that she may have lost her way. She died of severe dehydration. Katrina Swarts did not receive any pension from the government, as she did not have all the necessary papers. Consequently, she

lived in a state of abject poverty and chronic low-level starvation, according to some of her neighbours. Andrina says that she did her best to care for her mother with the meagre allowance of N$400 per month, which she gets for her two orphaned boys, as well as the little she makes from working as domestic cleaner one day a week. Sitting around a small black pot smouldering on a toxic fire made out of plastic bags when the Namib Times arrived on Wednesday, Andrina and her children clearly live in dreadful conditions. They can barely afford water. They spend around N$10 a week on prepaid water, which translates into eight 25 litre barrels. The World Health Organisation indicates that women, who engage in moderate physical activity in above-average temperatures, require a minimum of 7.5 litres per

person per day. “However, in an emergency situation, a minimum of 15 litres is required. A higher quantity of about 20 litres per person per day should be assured to take care of basic hygiene needs and basic food hygiene." Laundry and bathing will require higher amounts. Andrina says that her father died in 2012. She has four children of school-going age and receives an orphan allowance of N$200 each for two of her children. That is the only steady income of the whole family. Her two teenage sons sat in the shade of the shack looking severely malnourished and underdeveloped. They were also not attending any school, due to their circumstances. Though obviously bright and articulate, Andrina's 18-year old daughter, Monica, had not grown much taller than the average 12-year old. She attended Grade

1, but was taken to a farm by her grandfather soon afterwards. She suffered a great deal on the farm and did not have much to eat, which is why she returned to her mother in Swakopmund. She has not had a chance since to complete her schooling either. Sitting there in the dust, the Swarts family was the perfect picture of destitution. Asked what kind of help she would need to improve her circumstances, Andrina did not ask for any handouts. Her only wish is to get a proper job, so that she can pay her way and sustain her family. Mr David Nghiimbwasha of the DRC Concerned Group, says that they have repeatedly called on local councillors to attend to these impoverished and starving families, as the municipality has a gardening project from which destitute people should be able to get some food, but no food, not even emergency relief aid, has ever reached this family, he said. “We have been crying for many years, but nobody hears our cries.”

Rumours spread like wildfire among residents of Mondesa and the DRC over the past week that the body of a small child was found, apparently mutilated and murdered in a muti-style killing with his heart cut out. The Namib Times was inundated by requests from concerned readers this week to investigate the persistent rumour that a small child had been found murdered over the past weekend in one of the trenches being dug on the outskirts of the DRC, after the child had apparently gone missing a few days earlier. Unconfirmed reports circulating in the community had it that a small boy had been found with his tongue, ears and genitals cut off, apparently by someone involved in witchcraft. Readers initially reported the child had been abducted on his way to school and that his body had been stuffed into a black plastic bag and shoved into one of the drain pipes being installed to the north of Mondesa. Despite combing the area for several hours and interviewing many residents in the area, all attempts to verify the story were frustrated by the lack of evidence. No eyewitnesses could be located either. Mr Gert Strydom of Strydo Construction, which is constructing the water and sewerage lines to the north of Swakopmund, said yesterday that he had also been informed by one of his workers that a child had been found murdered in one of the trenches. They searched the pipes from east to west, but no proof was found. Initial reports had it that the boy was a grade 1 learner in Tamariskia, while others said that the learner attended Festus Gonteb Primary school in Mondesa. Principal Abraham Lenga of Festus Gonteb Primary con-

firmed yesterday that he had also heard “the widespread rumours”, but to the best of his knowledge “that story is not true”, he said. The head of department at Festus Gonteb Primary, who is responsible for maintaining the register of attendance at school, had also not recorded any absence of a learner that could be linked to the reported murder.

Inspector Iikuyu of the Namibian police said that no such killing and mutilation of a child had been reported to the police yet and that there is no record at the mortuary in Walvis Bay of any child who had been killed in such a brutal manner. Anyone with further information or evidence can contact this reporter on 0818139793.

Walvis Bay's light industrial area rapidly expanding Piquet Jacobs The Walvis Bay skyline is changing fast with the new light industrial area rapidly expanding and set to house numerous businesses providing a huge array of services. Established businesses range from the Gateway Industrial Park, Warehouses, Transport Companies, a Brick making company, a Roof & Tile supplier with several others such as the Institute of Standards Testing Facility and Office block still under construction. R.E.E Body Works & Truck Repairs was amongst the first occupants at the Gateway Industrial Park under the management of the Walvis Bay Export Processing Zone (EPZ) Management Company. With Walvis Bay being strategically located in the gate-

way of Africa the Export Processing Zone (EPZ) is billed as the ideal setting for attracting and expanding international business concerns, warehouse, manufacturing and transshipment requirements of foreign and local investors and offers access to a 300 million Southern Africa consumer market via tax-free incentives, well developed infrastructure, advanced telecommunications, a stable political environment and a reliable workforce.

According to REE owners Riaan Viviers and Ruben Smithdorff business is still on the quiet side since their move from the vicinity of Tunacor in the beginning of March. They are however optimistic that further development will happen and this would lead to the Gateway Industrial Park being centrally located within the foreseeable future. “Walvis Bay is experiencing a development explosion and this industrial area is bound to grow. The location of our services is central and easily accessible in view of the fact that there have been increased calls for heavy load vehicles to stay out of the town

area” they said. They have plans to expand their existing business to accommodate a grid blasting division and a first of its kind truck wash facility for Walvis Bay. “We have already invested considerably and upgraded our body works division with machines from South Africa. T h e T r u c k Wa s h facility is under construction and will be equipped with a N$50 000 steam cleaner in order to provide and maintain a high standard of service,” they said. REE's official grand opening will be held at the end of March. The event will be attended by various suppliers, assessors and clients.

OUD MAAR NOG NIE KOUD: Lede van Walvisbaai Privaat Hoërskool se 1974 klas

Coenita Balt Woensdag om 11:00 was 'n groep van Walvisbaai Privaat Hoërskool se 1974 leerlinge in die parkeerterein saam, en die eerste wat my begroet het was 'n gelag, 'n warm gemoedelike gevoel van verwelkoming van elke mede-skolier wat hulle by die groep aangesluit het. Meeste van die leerlinge was vanaf Sub A tot in matriek saam in een klas.

Die organiseerder, Johan Brink het vertel dat hulle 40 jaar gelede 34 leerlinge was en vandag is hulle so om en by 25 wat die dag saam vier. Een van hulle het tot van Beijing af gekom. Meeste van die groepie het die oggend met die MSC Simfonia anker gegooi vanaf Kaapstad. Hulle kuier vir die dag en vaar dan terug Kaap toe waar hulle op 15 Maart weer in Somerset Wes

´n reünie hou, wat deur 'n groter groep bygewoon gaan word, asook 8 van hulle oudonderwysers. Die dag gaan hulle vier deur 'n wynmaak sessie by Croydon Wine Estate. In die personeelkamer het die huidige hoof, mev Eigelaar, die groep verwelkom met die woorde: ''Julle lyk fantasties! Hoe voel dit om hier waar jul voet-

stappe lank geloop het, weer die skool te kan ervaar?” “Baie bang om verby die skoolhoof se kantoor te loop”, kom die antwoord... “Ek voel nou nog hoe die boek in my skoolbroek voel, voor die eerste houe val...” Een van die oud-onderwysers wat verskoning gemaak het en nie die dag kon bywoon nie, het die groepie ook laat

weet dat sy baie jammer dat sy nie die berugte span kan sien nie, wat met 'n gelag begroet is. Die groepie het aan die skoolhoof 'n plant geskenk om op die skoolgronde te plant. Daarna het hulle almal trots opgestaan het en hul ou skoollied gesing het, vol emosie. Die het vinnig in 'n gelag ontaard toe 'n paar huidige onder-

wysers die skoollied begin 'rap' het. Die 1974 Matrieks het die eerste rugbyspan opgelewer wat die Klopperbeker gewen het. Dit is 'n presasie wat nog net twee keer in die skool se bestaan bereik is. Die rugbyspan was ook verantwoordelik vir die plant van die huidige rugbyveld se gras. Van die oud-skoliere het dan blomme op hul mede-skolier, Deon

Holtzhausen (14-121974) se graf gaan sit, wat in 1974 verdrink het, net nadat hy matriek geskryf het. Die laaste indruk van die groep, was van 'n groep suksesvolle mense wie se wortels hier plaaslik diep gegroei het en wat met heimwee terugdink aan 'n skoolloopbaan vol hoogtepunte, trots dat hul deel van Walvisbaai Privaat Hoërskool se leerlinge milieu was.

The talented 19 year old says his love for music developed in grade 9 when they used to participate in rap battles during class. “I wasn't really the best at it, but it contributed to me being a hip-pop/rap artist, he says. Valentino started rapping at the age of 15 and says he is inspired by a lot of international musicians and no one specific. His biggest musical influence and inspiration is Drake and Kanye West. “The one thing about singing that I love most is when I express myself in a song and people relate to it, ” says the artist that is definitely meant to live a life on the stage. He is completely comfortable and knows how to deal with nervousness before a performance. “It's easy, I just tell myself that it's going to be another great performance and then I go on and kill it.”

The World Through my lens Anri Jacobs Seeing as it is a new year, let's set some new challenges for ourselves! If you haven't started a new project, now is the time to do so. Photography projects is a great way to ignite the creativity within you. Choosing a project will teach you to be consistent in your creativity, but also to find your personal style and vision. The trick in choosing a project, is to stick to one theme and trying to be consistent throughout. Choose one subject that you can relatively easily photograph. Some other things you can try as project ideas is to shoot twilight portraits, which can be challenging due to the

Shooting in the dark

low light. You will have to give great attention to your focussing. Try and shoot still life photography with personality. Moving away from the usual, try and add some life and emotion into taking stills. If you like this type of photography, it can be a great creative outlet.

Choose a theme Shooting out of focus can also be a great creative challenge, and allow you to see things and life in a different way. Finding faces in unusual places. Look for faces where you would usually not expect to see them. To do this, you will need to always have your camera with you. These mo-ments will arise at any given time and place, usually the ones you expect least.

Shoot close-ups

Take time to shoot the weather in your area. This can be something interesting to document. Choose a specific place to shoot from every time, or shoot at the same time every day. Shooting a film noir style can also be a great challenge creatively. Take the time and venture into your local neighbourhood at night, you will be surprised at the endless amount of interesting scenes you will stumble upon. Some other interesting

ideas you can look at to do as a project include shooting a single colour, shooting light trails, shoot the moon, shoot with the wrong white balance, shoot closeups, shoot the urban underground, shoot in-

spiring architecture, shoot a festival. At the end of the day you will have to find a theme that tickles your creative bud. Find something that will make you excited to get up and go shooting

every single day. You will find that your creativity is reignited and you will have the energy and want within you to challenge yourself in your photography in so many different ways.

Actress Bianca Green was born in Cape Town and moved to Namibia at the age of three. She grew up in Swakopmund and attended Namib High School. “I am quite the outspoken type. I am loud and love to be the centre of attention. I absolutely love to entertain people and have been doing so ever since I was a young child," she says and recounts candidly how she performed dance routines at social gatherings to show off her talents and afterwards went around the room with a big jug labelled “tips”. Bianca studied at The Waterfront Theatre School in Cape Town. The college is dedicated to the performing arts and the four year course she did allowed her to be a full-time student. She majored in Musical Theatre and Drama, Dance and Singing. In addition to that she took an optional course and became a qualified drama teacher. She graduated last year and was awarded the trophy for Excellence in Drama. Some of the subjects for the course entailed doing Tap, Jazz and Modern dance forms and practical Musical Theatre classes. “I always wanted to become an actress and realised that if I wanted to have broader choices and be more flexible in the industry, I need to expand my per-forming skills. This was the ultimate reason why she decided to go to a college that offered not only straight drama, but also dance and singing. "I am now a drama and musical theatre major and couldn't be happier,” she says.

She chose acting as a career because Drama is a part of her, it's like a drug and performing is an addiction. The part she enjoys most when it comes to acting is getting to know the character she has to play. "As an actor, you have the responsibility to portray a certain character in certain circumstances as emotionally real as possible. I find it extremely interesting to delve into the personality of a character: the way they talk, their state in physicality and the way they do things. Breaking down text to find a character's emotional state and then finding ways to portray that emotional state is exhilarating. Characters are people and people are complicated. They are never one dimensional it is my job as an actor to make sure that I portray all of a character's intentions and emotions. So, I would have to say the rehearsal process is my favourite part; to perform in front of an audience is the icing on the cake!” she explains. "It is an absolute privilege and honour to tell someone else's story. I accept this as a serious responsibility. When I commit to a character I give 100%, ” she says.

I use my nerves in a positive way to stay focused or to enhance my performance. Good nerves can be the most amazing feeling in the world.” Bianca recently toured with “The Regulars” show to Namibia and told us more about this particular journey. “I always knew I wanted to create my own show and then tour Namibia with it. I also always wanted to help raise money for the Desert Lion Conservation Project. Flip Stander is a friend of mine and I wanted to contribute in some way or another. I decided to combine my two missions: Create a show and Actress Bianca Green generate funds for the desert invest in a character and a l s o p a t i e n c e a n d lions.” The Regulars understanding.

once a month. Apart from this massive accomplishment, Bianca has been a part of various other big productions including playing the lead in two productions in Cape Town. The first was in the wellknown fun musical, “Footloose”. The second was in Noël Coward's drawing room comedy, “Present Laughter”.” She is currently focussing on The Regulars, their company and their plans for touring the show through South Africa. Other than that photoshoots, castings and auditions are ongoing. On her off days (when she does no acting) she enjoys going to the gym. “I gym to stay fit. I also love reading.” She has a library in her house and on off days prefer to sit down and read a good book. Bush life is also an interest of hers and she like spending time in Damaraland, where her family have a house. On a recent trip to London Bianca saw numerous West End productions and says that she has never in her life been more inspired. “Watching great actors give an amazing performance, makes me want to work harder and reach for the sky!” Her ultimate goal in life is to be happy. “What makes me happy is performing. I would like to perform on London's West End one day. That would be awesome! In 5 years I see myself overseas, working in a big drama or musical theatre production.” We asked Bianca for an opinion on the theatre industry in Namibia and whether she would consider moving back to Namibia one day. “The theatre world in Namibia is definitely growing. Theatre in Namibia has potential and can become big. I believe there are greater challenges overseas waiting for me. However, this an extremely competitive industry and you go where the show goes!” She advised those who are considering a career in drama to go for it if it's their passion. “Don't let anything or anyone stand in your way. Stay focused and determined! Make sure you know what you want and work towards that! Always stay hard working. Be a sponge and soak up as much information as you possibly can. Don't ever limit yourself, be bigger, be better, and shine brighter. It's a tough industry, but if you got the right attitude, you'll be unstoppable! Remember: There are no parts, only small actors.”

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste Deutsche Botschaft gibt Spende für soziales Projekt in Khorixas Solarenergie in der Wüste

Am 26. Februar fand die Übergabe einer Gym-Ausstattung (Gymnastikbälle, Hanteln, Matten u.v.m.) durch die Botschaft der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in Namibia am „Another Chance Social Club“ in Khorixas statt. Die Ausstattung wurde im Khorixas-Distrikt Krankenhaus im Rahmen einer feierlichen Zeremonie durch die Repräsentanten der deutschen Botschaft Gundula Perry und Clarissa Judmann, übergeben. Anwesend waren unter anderem die Vizeministerin für Gesundheit und Soziale Dienste, Frau Haingura, der regionale Leiter des Kunene Gesundheitsdirektorats, Herr Shapumba, sowie der Ratsherr für die Khorixas Region, Herr Gobs.

Heute wird man über die darin enthaltenen Ratschläge wahrscheinlich schallend lachen, aber eigentlich ist dieses umfangreiche Druckwerk ein echter Schatz. Wenn man offen ist für Benimmregeln, die damals (fast) selbstverständlich waren und heute wohl eher skurril anmuten, kann man kräftig an seinen verlotterten Manieren feilen. Auch in meinem Haus muss noch ziemlich an

Ich konnte kein Kapitel finden, das sich mit dem Urinieren auf Benimmbüchlein beschäftig, aber dafür habe ich ansonsten viel dazugelernt und weiss nun wesentlich besser Bescheid. was sich schickt und was nicht! Dem ,Einmaleins des guten Tons” nach ist es zum Beispiel taktlos, einer jungen Dame Strümpfe als Geschenk zu geben.

LIGHTWEIGHT The larger and technologically-loaded 2014 C-Class aims to set new standards in its class. To that end, it comes armed with an â&#x20AC;&#x153;intelligent lightweight design conceptâ&#x20AC;? that sheds up to 100kg off the kerb weight (despite it being 95mm longer and 40mm wider) as well as a barrage of new technologies and a range of frugal new engines. NEW ENGINES As you'll see above, the initial range offers a choice of just four engines, but MercedesBenz assures us that additional variants with bigger-capacity engines will join the line-up at a later stage. For now the menu includes three petrol versions and one diesel; all are turbocharged and feature latest-generation direct fuel injection. Petrol proceedings begin with a 1.6-litre in the C 180, which pushes 115kW and 250Nm, sprints to 100km/h 8.2 seconds and sips 5.0 litres per 100km on the combined cycle - those figures claimed by Mercedes-Benz. Next up in the pecking order is a 2-litre petrol that's tuned to 135kW and 300Nm in the C 200 and 155kW/350Nm in C 250, with respective 0100 times of 7.5 and 6.6 seconds and consumption of 5.3 litres per 100km in both cases. The sole diesel option,

for now, is a 2143cc unit in the C 220 BlueTec, credited with 125kW and 400Nm, an 8.2 sec 0-100km/h sprint and 4.0 l/100km thirst (or lack thereof). AIR SUSPENSION Like traditional 'Benzes, and unlike the CLA, power still goes through the back wheels, delivered through a new six-speed manual or 7GTronic Plus automatic gearbox. In its quest to offer a smoother ride and pinsharp road-holding, the C-Class comes with a new suspension system, comprising a four-link front axle and five-link rear end. While the standard suspension is offered with an optional choice of three Direct Control systems with variable damping, the big news is the availability of air suspension. This optionallyavailable Airmatic system features continuous variable damping at both ends and the driver can choose

between four characteristic settings ranging from 'Comfort' through to 'Sport+'. ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS The technological barrage continues with a whole suite of new assistance systems that have filtered down from the latest E-Class and SClass. Attention Assist

is standard on the new C, as is Collision Prevention Assist Plus, which can automatically brake at speeds of up to 200km/h. The long options list includes nice-to-haves like Distronic Plus with Steering Assist and Stop&Go Pilot, enhanced Active Lane Keeping Assist, Active

sions, and boot space has increased to 480 litres. MUSIC, GADGETS Music fans are in for a treat with a new multimedia system linked to a 17.78cm screen (or 21.33cm in Comand Online-equipped models). The sound system features Frontbass technology that aims to

Parking Assist, 360degree parking camera and Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus. The new C's interior follows the trends set by the A-Class and CLA, with higher-grade materials and circular air vents. Of course, the cabin is larger than before, owing to the car's increased dimen-

mimic the acoustic pleasure of a concert hall. Of course, gadget junkies are well catered for with internet (including numerous apps) and diverse data sources available even in the most basic version. As for exterior styling, most models come with the 'sporty' face with a centrally-positioned Mercedes star, while the 'Exclusive' line comes with a more traditional grille that pushes the star to the bonnet. If the 'Exclusive' trim is not up your alley, you can also opt for 'Avantgarde' or 'AMG' lines. The latter does not include an engine upgrade, however. That we'll leave to the real AMG version. H7 halogen headlights are standard, while two LED variants are available on the options list. Hurry to M+Z Motors Coastal to order yours or give Karmen 081 302 8571 or Louis 081 293 2348 a call.

14 MARCH 2014

Hendrie Scheun Monthly Monitor Monthly Monitor: February 2014 The last quarter has been very volatile with sharp movements in asset prices. How are the markets doing and why? We also look at what global investment managers think of Emerging Markets and of South Africa. Lastly we use data from two leading asset managers to provide insight into what returns investors can expect from their investment portfolios and what maximum income retirees can draw from their retirement capital.

Market Review: The US Federal Reserve Bank (the Fed) is currently the

key driver of investments; their actions affect markets directly. As the Central Bank of the US, the Fed sets the short-term interest policy, and has kept the rate very low. To stimulate the economy they have also artificially suppressed long-term bond rates by buying bonds and

other securities. Since December the Fed has been buying less bonds and securities (tapering), as they felt the US economy has shown sufficient signs of strength and recovery. This should be viewed as very good news as tapering normalizes the USA and other markets which reduces distortions and the mispricing of assets, and thus lowers the risk of asset price bubbles forming. In January the Fed tapered again (more good news!) but investors illogically took fright and became more risk averse. They targeted Emerging Markets (EM) with large trade and Government budget deficits and sold out of their EM share, listed property & bond holdings and bought safe havens such as gold and USA bonds. These large capital outflows caused havoc in currency markets, and the SA Rand tanked to R11.40 to the US Dollar. In response a number of EMs, including South Africa, increased their short-term interest rates.

Table 3 below lays out the past and present situation. By using long-term historical asset class averages, one can work out the expected returns (target rate) per riskrated portfolio. These are the portfolios I manage: they cover the risk spectrum from Conservative through Cautious to Moderate and Assertive. The target rates

drops heavily as one moves warmer towards an Assertive portfolio, due to the lower forecasted returns for property and local shares. Unfortunately this means that the maximum one can draw from your retirement investment to keep the nominal value of the capital constant or slightly growing also declines heavily.

The above has profound implications for pre-retired investors and post-retired income drawers. Investors will either have to save more, work longer or utilize warmer portfolios to meet their retirement goals. Retirees will have to reduce their budgets thereby lowering their drawing rates, get a retirement job or utilize warmer portfolios to meet their retirement goals.

· In the short-term markets behave in volatile ways: long-term investors should look through this noise and be in welldiversified managed portfolios build to meet their investment needs. · Asset class returns, portfolio returns and retiree drawing rates will all be substantially lower over the next 10 years then in the decade before. · Investors and retirees should review their investments with their financial advisers, to address these challenges.

Graph 1: Asset Class Returns Over the Last Quarter

By February sanity returned to global markets, and investors started buying shares. The SA Rand thus recovered on these capital inflows, and strengthened to 10.76 to the US Dollar. As can be seen from Graph 1 by MoneyMate above, over the last quarter cash returned +1% (red line), bonds 0% (green line), property -3% (blue line) and South

African shares +5% (black line). Global shares did even better in SA Rand terms, and rose by +9% (pink line). The 1-year returns are also in favour of local and global shares; if you were only in safety assets (cash and bonds) you would have made almost no money for the last 12 months! Please see Table 1 below for further details.

Global Perspective:

their asset managers can take advantage thereof by buying cheaply! · Opportunities exist in global financials, energy, Europe, Asia ex-Japan and selected commo dities. Global sentiment is very negative towards EMs which opens up a long-term opportunity into buying EM and South African assets.

Recent interactions with international fund managers brought out the following points: · The Fed is driving markets upwards. The Fed and other Developed Market Central Banks will also keep shortterm interest rates lower for longer. · Global shares are between fair value to overvalue but not in bubble territory. · 2014 is the year of diversification. Positive correlations between asset classes have broken down as they now move in opposite directions in response to the Fed's tapering. Thus diversification will now work better than in the past few years when every asset class together went up or down. · Investors and asset managers should take advantage of the volatility and emotions within the markets. Remember market sentiment can cause short-term big swings (like in January) but longer term investors and

Portfolio Return Expectations and Drawing Rates: Since 2011 we have warned clients that, except for foreign shares, asset classes will deliver less over the next 10 years than they did over the last 10 years. In fact the expected returns for local listed property and local shares have halved as compared to the last decade! The main reason for the lower forecasts is that asset classes are adjusting to a world that is deleveraging away from an over-indebted position towards a savings culture. Plse see Table 2 across for further details:

Conclusions: · It is good news that the Fed is normalizing its artificial influence on global markets by slowing or tapering its bond purchases. The challenge lies in the Fed exiting this market dependency in an orderly manner.

Hierdie hartseer sal weer verby gaan, met dierbares wat jul sal bystaan. Die voorreg om liefde van so 'n iemand te mag hê, word dikwels vir so baie andere ontsê. Vir julle was daardie voorreg gelukkig beskore, met mooi herinneringe vir vandag en môre. Mens sou kon vra: “Here, waarom hy? Waarom hierdie hartseer en pyn vir my?” Maar Sy besluite is vir ons verborge, Weet net Hy deel in al ons sorge. Die Here gee die Beste, Die Here neem die Beste en die Here Weet die Beste!!!!

A very big thank you to Oom Beyers and Johan van der Westhuizen in making the day possible. You are great people with great spirit and we look forward to see you again next year. Our club is always open to you if you visit Namibia again. Wednesday 5 March: 34 Players played the second nine holes last Wednesday. On average the scores were good and did nobody stand out with a low score. Kevin Wentzel walked away with the wooden spoon with 11 points to Johny Truter. Renier Bosman was the eventual winner on 22 points with Jonas Katti second on 21 winning the count out to Wouter van Wijk. Sad to see that 8 players did not enter their scores on Wednesday. Those 8 are regular winners in the club and you just come to think how they achieve that? Handicapper, I have marked the guilty persons names in red in the Wednesday competition book if you are interested. This coming Wednesday we have different prizes. Car Bath is assisting and the winner and loser will get something else to show mom at home. Make sure to rock up in numbers. Those that did not play last week, please take note that we have put ropes in front of the greens. They are there to mark the last line for golf carts to drive. This is not uncommon as all major golf courses in the world use this

Other courses in Namibia do the same. It was sad however to see that certain members disobeyed these markers and still drove over the ropes. We noticed cart marks that drove over bowls of trees, over the newly planted grass on nr. 6 and in bunkers.

This Saturday is Walvis Bay Private High School and AVIS. 132 Players in the field and play start 07h30. It will be a busy day and it will mean that you will wait around 1 and a half hour in the club house before you start your second nine. Not to worry, we have lots of ice and refreshments available.

BAIE DANKIE: Anthea (PHIM), “Kanu”, Sameul en Rafael Aluteni met van die Desert Football Academy lede tydens die oorhandigingsplegtigheid.

Die Sport en Herskepping Departement van Swakopmund se munisipaliteit het briljante inisiatief aan die dag gelê deur besighede waarmee hulle werk te betrek, ten einde plaaslike sport 'n hupstoot te gee. Desert United Football Academy in Mondesa was die eerste groep wat by hierdie breinkind van mnr Rafael Aluteni, verbonde aan die Sport departement, baatgevind het. Die Akademie spits hulle daarop toe om jong sokkerspelers van die strate te hou en ook om hulle te help om hul talent te bevorder. Ten minste 80 seuns is tans deel van die groep, onder die bekwame leiding van mnr'e Samuel Zatjirua en Erwin “Kanu” Kavetuna. Die twee noem dat hulle waargeneem het hoedat jong seuns sokker op straat speel, asook hoe baie van hulle deur drank- en dwelmmisbruik ingesluk word en die idee om die seuns, deur middel van sport, weg te probeer hou van hierdie euwels het posgevat. Hulle is alreeds 4 jaar aan die gang en voer aan dat hulle tot dusver sonder enige hulp die mas probeer opkom, maar die tekort aan toerusting, soos balle, fluitjies ensovoorts knel hul selfopgelegde taak.

along nicely and good scores were achieved. Dean Kock and Deville Dreyer started very well with both of them carding 22 points on the first nine. Wayne Hart and Herman Neethling were not that far behind at the turn. On the second nine Herman Neethling, Pikkie Champion and Quinten van Wyk scored 22 points to

chase the first nine hole leaders.
