Navy commemorates 18 years of existence

The Navy has been commissioned into a fullyfledged Navy as the third arm of service of the NamibianDefenceForceon7October2004.This incorporation of the Navy into the Namibian Defence Force made the composition of the Namibian Defence Force complete -comprising theArmy,AirForceandNavy.

Addressing the parade Navy Commander, Rear Admiral Alweendo Paulus Amungulu said the history of the Namibian Navy started in 1994, whentheagreementonnavalcooperationbetween Brazil and Namibia was signed. “The agreement provides for the training of both officers and ratingsindifferentfields.”

According to Rear Admiral Amungulu, “the commissioning of the Navy has expanded its role ofdefendingNamibia'smaritimeinterests.Inthis connection,theDefencePolicyclearlystatesthat, "the development and professionalization of the Navyshallbepursueduntilitsdesiredcapabilityis achieved. Necessary resources shall be made availabletoexpandtheNavy'scapabilityfromthat of coastal patrol, to that of maritime deterrence withforceprojectioncapability

RearAdmiralAmungulusaidaspartoftheSADC and international commitments, the Namibian Navy continues to participate in regional and internationaleventsaseitheractiveparticipantsor observers.

He added that the post cold era threats to the national security have become varied and complex, though most of these threats are nonmilitaryandnon-conventionalinnatureandoften transcend national borders making it increasingly important for the Namibian Navy to undertake collective actions on national and multi-national level to provide adequate and coordinated response.

Admiralsaid“inthisregardtheNamibianNavyis always conducting maritime patrols within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and rivers. We

NAMFISA hosts first-ever legislative and supervisory reform conference

The Namibian Financial Institutions

Supervisory Authority (NAMFISA) hosted the first of its kind Legislative and Supervisory Reform Conference thataimstodiscusstheregulatoryand supervisory transformation that is taking place in the financial services sectorinpreparationfortheimminent promulgation of the NAMFISA Act and the Financial Institutions and MarketsAct(FIMA).

The conference was held over two days in the coastal town ofSwakopmundand commenced on Wednesday, 12 October2022.Theconference brought together board of directors, senior executives, princi pal officers, and captains of industry from the non-banking financial services industry and other key stake holders.

Over the two days, presentations on experiencesinRiskbased Supervision, Corporate Gover nance reforms, the role of provision/

savingsforretirement as a social security, anchoring relation ships between regulator and industry in terms of general reforms, market conduct reforms and supervisionofMarket infrastructures were presented.

Speaking at the official opening cere mony of the con ferencetheChiefExecutive Officer (CEO) of NAMFISA Kenneth Matomola said it is of utmost impor tance that stake holders touch base as the regulator, regu lated entities and industry experts to align on the new way

of working Mato mola said, ”the transition to RBS and legislative transformation requires buyinandinvolvementof the regulated entities andkeyroleplayersin the financial services sector. This is pertinenttoavoidunintended outcomes such as changeresistanceand collapse of confi dence in the process of regulatory change.”According to the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of NAMFISA, Erna Motinga, frequent global economic shocks, chang-

ing financial land scapes and more recently the COVID19Pandemicelevated risks that industries face daily This begs the question of readiness to deal with the same as participants and as a regulator in the financial sector and specifically in this case the Nonbank Financial Institutionssector Motinga said, “it is outofthesequestions that NAMFISA has taken the first step to ensure that our legislation is in tandem with our challenges

and risks through a regulatory reform focused on the promulgation of the NAMFISA Act and the Financial Institutions and Markets Act (FIMA). At its core, the intention of these reforms is to ensure the industry's ability to adjust to changing financial landscapes, streng thenprudentialsuper vision and to introduceanimportantbut often neglected as pect of financial services, which is consumer protection. As it is always the

case in any regulatory reform, we expect natural friction be tween us as a Regulatorandtheindustry However, the continued cooperation and close consultations over the last few years, I believe, will assist in ensuring alignment of expectations between the two parties,becausethatis essential.”

The Namibia Financial Institutions Supervisory Authority (NAMFISA) exists to supervise financial institutions and finan-

cial services, and to advise the Minister of Finance on mattersrelatingtofinancial institutions and financial services in terms of the NAMFISAAct,2001(No. 3of2001).

Community members scared to take a stand against drugs

AccordingtostatisticsfromtheNamibianPolice,drugstothevalueofmorethan N$40 million were confiscated in Namibia, while about 2000 Namibians were arrestedinaperiodfromFebruarylastyeartodate.

In light of this, a few members of the Walvis Bay community pitched to a community demonstration to take a stand against drugs organized by local councilor and community Activist,RyanGordon.

The march started in Narraville with only a handful of people from the community showinguponSaturday8Octoberinanaimto take stand against drugs and to encourage residents to unite against this unlawful trade that are destroying lives and families, in not onlytheharbourtown,butthewholecountry

If one looks at the comments residents made when the news broke on social media that Grant Noble and Dinath Azhar received effective jail terms of seven years each, you wouldthinkthatthewholetownwillbeupin arms against drugs, but instead of joining the march, residents opted to peek through their windows and stood outside their homes, watching the small group march through the harbor town street to take a stand against drugs.

Gordon expressed his disappointment in the lowturnoutwhendrugsareaknownproblem in the community“The march was not politically motivated, but was supposed to encourageresidentsofWalvisBaytouniteand say no to drugs that are destroying so many families in our community Sadly, nobody joined, apart from the Landless People's MovementYouth.”

According to Gordon, Narraville is infested withmandraxsoldforascheapasN$20,while crack can be bought for about N$100 and cannabisforaslittleasN$10. “Werecentlyarrestedagroupofdealerswhile theywerebusysprayingcannabiswithdoom. Other drugs are also laced with deadly substancesandcankillourchildreninstantly. That is why we are taking a stand against drugs. We are tired of drugs in the Erongo region and are here for those parents who are suffering. I will continue to fight against drugs, even if I have to do it alone,” Gordon saidduringthemarch.

Gordon added that the police and the community know exactly where the drug dealers operate and exactly who the drug dealersare.“Thepoliceknowwhotheyare,the drug squad, the neighbourhood watch and the community know them. I don't know why we areafraidofthesecriminals.TheyarenotGod. It was sad that the community did not pitch. Despitethis,Iwillnotstop.Wewillcontinueto fight this fight. Where are the churches? We need our church leaders to get involved, the police, drug squad, the reservists and the neighbourhoodwatches,”Gordonadded.

AccordingtoGordon,therearemore'runners' (delivery boys) than dealers in the harbour town. “Cocaine, mandrax, marijuana and the useofrocksarerifeinWalvisBay “Wehavea lotofdealers,whoaremakinguseofrunners. These are children as young as 10 years old transportingparcelsofN$20orN$50worthof drugs. When we arrest these children, they refusetotelluswhothedealersare.”

According to him, many families suffer in silence, as their children are being used as runners by drug dealers and some are using drugs.

LMP youth members also expressed their disappointment towards residents, saying some are claiming they are Christians, yet are partofthedrugtrade.

Theyouthmemberssaid“wewantedtomakea statement that we are tired of drugs in Walvis Bay Wearehereforthosekidsusingdrugsand the parents suffering because of the drugs. Somebody needs to stand up against the drug dealers.”

“Wehavetotakeastandasacommunity Ifwe don'tstandupnothingwillhappen.Evenifwe have to demonstrate alone, or if we are only five, we will not stop until the drug dealer's drugsstop,”thememberssaid.

Behind Project', aimed ataddressingtheneeds of the most vulnerable group. “We feel that a girlshouldstartalifein a dignified way, as an openbookinwhichshe writes her own story and as she moves through her life chapter, she needs to be nurtured, encouraged, and supported so that she has a greater chance of recognizing and realising her potential and oppor tunities ” Amkongo encouraged the girls to take up their space in theworld.

Fifty adolescent girls at Hanganeni Primary School received dignity kits from the United Nations Population Fund(UNFPA)ontheInternationalDay of the Girl Child, which is commemorated annually on 11 October and aimed at empowering girls and amplifyingtheirvoicesaroundtheglobe.

The United Nations General Assembly declared 11 October as InternationalDayofthe Girl Child after adopting Resolution 66/170, torecognisegirls'rights and the unique challenges girls face around theworldon19December2011.

The International Day oftheGirlChildfocuses attention on the need to address the challenges girls face and to promote girls' empower ment and the fulfilment oftheirhumanrights.

In the dignity kits/bag contains a face cloth, toothbrush and toothpaste,underwear,washing powder, bath soap, sanitary pads, a dignity book consisting of all information regarding a girl's dignity and a multipurpose wrapping material or cloth called “oshitenge”.

According to Loide AmkongotheOfficerin Charge at the UNFPA, UNFPA is a sexual reproductive agency that is operating in Namibia, it is an inter national agency, their head office in is Windhoekbuttheyoperatein the regions, supporting the government and partners to end unmet need for family planning Amkongo said, “we want to make sure thatyounggirlswhoare sexuallyactiveandwant contraceptives can accessthem.Wewantto ensure that we end preventable maternal death-if somebody gets pregnant intentionally or unintentionally, we want to make sure that you deliver that baby safely We also aim at ensuring that we end gender-based violence, thosearethethreeareas in which UNFPA in Namibiaoperates.”

AccordingtoAmkongo, UNFPA received about US$7.4 million to fund the “Leaving no one

In an acceptance speechonbehalfofthe region, read on his by the Chairperson of the Erongo Regional Council, Benitha Imbamba, during the handover ceremony, the Governor of Erongo region, Neville Andre Itope said this support is made possiblebytheUNFPAwith the financial support from the government of Japan through a project called 'Leaving nooneBehindProject'. The speech read: “Today we are reminded to show solidarity with adolescent girls, pregnant women, and lactating mothers and show support through theprovisionofdignity kits. This may seem to be a small gesture but for the beneficiaries, it isalifesaver Weknow some girls and women continue to accept gender-basedviolence, contract HIV, have unwanted pregnancies, and get raped because they have no basic, personal and hygiene items.”

Itope in his speech reminded the learners of Hanganeni Primary school about the importance of edu cation, “Always remember that no matter your back ground,youarevalued, youmatter,andyouare a diamond to this region, Namibia and theWorld.”

The governor also emphasised the impor tance of including and engagingmenandboys as they are sometimes unabletocopewiththe demands of this world andresorttosuicide.

UNFPA donated about 350 dignity kits girls andpregnantwomento the Erongo region, and it is said that they will reach areas such as Karibib, Omaruru, and Usakos.

NAPWU 10th National Congress ends tomorrow Sharlien Tjambari

The Namibia Public Workers Union (NAPWU) 10th National Congress was officially opened under the theme “Workers demand job security, affordable services and promote high productivityintheareaofCovid-19andbeyond”,inSwakopmundon Thursdaythisweek.

NAPWU congress members from central, northern, and western regions gathered to reflect on the battles they have waged on behalf of workers collectivelyoverthepastfiveyears,tocelebratetheirvictories,tolearnfrom theirdefeats,torejuvenateNAPWU,andtostrategizeforthestrugglesahead.

TheGovernoroftheErongoregion,NevilleAndreItopeinhisremarksatthe official opening of the congress said, “workers have faced countless socioeconomic crises since your last Congress.Yet you have survived.You have scars and wounds. You have lost painful battles and you have won historic victories.Youhavelearnedfromyourmistakesandarewiserforthem.What we cannot afford to do is to divide workers, fight over positions, or destroy unions.Todosoisafailureofleadership,itisabetrayalofworkers.”

AccordingtothePresidentofNAPWU,SarafinaKandere,NAPWUalways has strived to be a vibrant avenue for collective bargaining and sound communicationbetweenitsmembersandemployers,andotherstakeholders. Kandere said, “the aim was and continues to be striving to encourage and promotethespiritofunityandsolidarityamongallworkersbasedonitsmotto andphilosophyoftheindivisibilityoftheNamibianworker'smovement.”

InaspeechreadonhisbehalfbytheMinisterofPresidentialAffairs,Christine //Hoabes, the President of Namibia Hage Geingob said, “the 10th national congressofNAPWUprovidesusanopportunitytostrategizeonhowwecan work together to ensure Namibia's economic revival and continued path towards prosperity Since independence, government has always prioritized theinterestsandsafetyoftheNamibianworkers.Aspeoplewhofoughtforthe freedom,liberty,andjusticeofallNamibians,webelievethatthewelfareof Namibianworkersissacrosanct.”

According to Geingob, to concretise this sentiment, government through arrangements at the labour advisory council passed the LabourAct of 2007 which establishes a comprehensive labour law which governs all activities and the relationship between employers and employees. “This includes the entrenchmentoffundamentallabourrightsandprotections,theregulationof basictermsandconditionsofemployment,theassuranceofhealthandsafety, theprotectionofemployeesfromunfairlabourpracticesandtheregistration ofemployerandemployeeorganizations.”

Geingob further said, “it pleases me to note that although we have faced dauntingchallengesandwillfacemoreinthefuture,wearegalvanizedbyour unityasprogressivesocialpartners. Governmentandtheunions,theNamibia PublicWorkersUnion,andtheNamibiaNationalTeachersUnionarenotonly social partners, but revolutionary partners who always worked together in a spiritofharmony,intheinterestofnationhood.”
