Familie en vriende saam met die rugbymanne om hul sterkte toe te wens

Twee Walvisbaaiers op pad na Rugby-Wêreldbekereindtoernooi vertrek om aan die Rugby Wêreldbekertoernooi deel te neem en hulle sterkte toegewens.

Chrysander Botha neem aan sy tweede wêreldbeker deel terwyl dit die immergroen Damian Stevens se eerste deelname sal wees.

Die Klub is sonder twyfel geweldig trots op die twee spelers se prestasies en hulle is bewyse dat harde werk, dissipline en nederigheid beloon word. Hulle toewyding en gedrag op en van die veld af, is ’n voorbeeld vir menige jong man.”

Nommer 9 (Damian) en 15 (Chrysander) se truie moet stip dop gehou word wanneer hulle 24 September (20:00) speel teen Nieu-Seeland, 29 September (16:45) teen Tonga, 7 Oktober (20:00) Georgië en dan laaste teen Argentinië, 11 Oktober (12:00).

Sondagaand in Narraville het die ouers ’n afskeidsete gehou vir die twee families en was namib times ook deel van die spesiale geleentheid. Ons kon oor ’n lekker koppie tee met die ouers ‘n onderhoud voer, en getuie wees van die goeie wense wat die twee spelers vergesel.

Chrysander Botha se ouers, Beverley en Willie Botha, het in die onderhoud gesê dat hul harte swel vir hulle seun.

“Ons is trots op hom en ons sal sê die wenresep is ondersteuning en aanmoediging – ons het elke tree van sy rugbyloopbaan saam met hom geloop.

Afstand was nog nooit in ons pad om by ons seun se wedstryde te kon wees nie.” Sy pa sê ook dissipline het ’n groot rol gespeel.

“Dissipline was altyd deel van sy grootwordproses en ek het altyd vir Chrysander geleer dat spanwerk baie belangrik is in rugby. Ek het hom ook van kleins af geleer dat om te wen, nie alles moet oorheers nie, en dat hy dit wat hy doen, tot die beste van sy vermoë moet doen, en met sy hele hart,” sê Willie.

Sy ma, Beverley, glo ook motivering is een van die grootste faktore wat deurentyd daar moet wees.

“Ek motiveer hom altyd met die woorde dat hy nie moet terugkyk nie, maar moet vorentoe mik. Ek het altyd gesorg dat ek by al sy wedstryde was, tot nou toe - ons vlieg ook Engeland toe om drie van sy wedstryde by te woon en die feit dat hy weet dat sy ouers ook daar gaan wees is baie motivering vir hom om sy beste te gee. Chrysander is baie lief vir rugby van ’n jong ouderdom af.

Tog het ek dit duidelik gemaak aan hom dat sport nie alles moet oorheers nie – dit moet 50/50 wees, met ander woorde, vir die akademie en vir sy sport, moet hy dieselfde deursettingsvermoë hê - om in albei sy beste prestasie te lewer,” sê Beverley.

Damian, die 20- jarige jongman wat al op nege met sy rugbyloopbaan

begin het, se ouers, Valery en Colin Stevens sê, “Ons was baie betrokke by Damian se wedstryde, selfs ook as hy in Suid-Afrika gaan speel het.

Toe Damian in die Junior Wêreldbeker gaan speel het was hy nog baie jonk, en vir ’n ma is dit maar ’n swaar saak om jou seun so ver te laat gaan sonder jou.

Maar, dit hou ’n mens biddend te alle tye. ’n Gevoel stoot altyd so op in my binneste as ek my seun op die sportveld sien, en weet ek dat dit harde werk is wat hom daar gebring het.”

In ons onderhoud met die twee pa’s het ons hul gevra of hul al trane gestort het van trots oor hul seuns se prestasies.

“Ons het ja, ons het, baie keer, veral wanneer jy as vader rondom jou kyk en sien hoeveel aanhangers langs die rugbyveld jou seun se naam skree, en ook veral as jy sien hoe hy sy liefde vir sy sport met elke tree uitleef.”

Toe ons hulle vra, hoe voel hulle as hulle die twee op televisie sien en duisende kyk na hulle, was albei se antwoord, “Onbeskryflik, en dis waar daar tog ’n traan uit selfs ’n vader se oë skiet.”

Die eindstryd van die Rugby-wêreldbeker word op 31 Oktober op Twickenham gespeel – en almal wens dat dié twee Walvisbaaiers daardie dag saam met die Welwitschias een van die finale spanne sal wees.

Maria Davel-Wallis The Welwitschias have unexpectedly honoured the E Med Res 24 Namibia paramedic, Alfred John Ward, last week, when they handed a signed Welwitschia World Cup jersey to his parents.

The World Cup Jersey the Welwitschias gave Aflfred John Ward’s parents in honour of his life and work. Ward and his son watched the Welwitchia’s game against Zimbabwe together on the Saturday before his death. That was the last time Ward saw his son alive. On the photo, Alida Ward, Brandon Smith and Terence Ward hold the special jersey Ward last night confirmed to namib times, that the remains of his son, Alfred John Ward (23), and that of the two Namibian pilots, Steven Naudé (53), and Amore Espag (23) will arrive in the capital tonight.

“My son will be home on Wednesday,

and we are thankful for that.”

Ward’s funeral service will be held on Saturday morning at 9:00, in the AFM Church in Francisca van Neel Street, Tamariskia.

Nationhood and National Pride in Focus in Henties Bay Continued from page 1

our nation on the basis of shared values that are contained in the Namibian Constitution” said Wilhelmina Mapanka.

The NNP Forum campaign was officially launched by Former President Hifikepunye Pohamba, on 27 April 2011 in Windhoek, under the theme “A United nation is a proud nation”, with the logo “My Namibia, My Country, and My Pride”.

The Governor of the Erongo Region, Cleophas Mutjavikua, said in a keynote address, which was delivered on his behalf by his Special Adviser, Bobby Kandjala, the implementation of that government programme at all le-

vels within the country, would help in mobilising the masses to vigorously get involved in the development of the country with a sense of pride and unity, in order to achieve Vision 2030.

The governor in his message also warned, “Politicians who are guilty of repeatedly playing the tribal card should be made to understand that their actions are a threat to the peace and unity of our people”.

Through the NNP campaign all citizens should be encouraged to embrace the principles of One Namibia One Nation, and to become the campaign’s ambassadors, said Governor

Mutjavikua.

Topics that will be discussed today, day two, are: How NNP regional forums and activities will be funded, they will also look at the personal views of the people at the workshop, and the way forward.

The workshop is an open event and community members, who still would want to be part of this forum are more than welcome to attend and to share their ideas, views and opinions, was the message yesterday.

The workshop will conclude today.

The NNP is a campaign under the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Land-a-Dollar Drum 'Lands' in Swakopmund On Wednesday, 9 September, a Land-a-Dollar drum was placed at Fruit and Vegetable City and Shoprite Swakopmund.

The Land-a-Dollar Drum is a campaign initiated by young individuals from the University of Namibia's council and campus at large, with the aim to get more youth involved to contribute their effort to the nationwide, diversified and community-driven program of the national government regarding the massive urban land servicing program.

The campaign is essentially a plea for every student and member of society, to pledge at least a dollar to the government plan.

The theme of the campaign is “Setting a Foundation for your Home”.

Drums are placed all over the country. They've started appearing in Windhoek, Walvis Bay and Oshakati, but now they are going from town to town, dropping off the drums at shopping malls/centres. You can contribute to this campaign by finding a nearest designated point where a drum is placed, make a contribution of a dollar or more towards the nationwide mass land servicing project.

Once collected, all revenue will be presented to the office of the President as a pledge, support and contribution of the nation towards the national project.

Storage Facility for Dangerous Goods a “No-No!” Liesl Losper

Residents are still up in arms over the possibility that a Safe Storage Facility for the handling of dangerous goods might be erected at farm 43, Walvis Bay. A meeting was held recently by Ecolab Environmental cc regarding the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the development of the planned facility. The meeting was attended by around 20 residents of Walvis Bay of whom quite a number did not want this to be constructed.

The residents said, “one of our main concerns is, they will be transporting 8 000 tons of material and will require around 1 600 containers and 20 trucks, which means

the road will be even busier than normal, and it will also be way more dangerous. The increase of trucks on the roads will result in congestion and affect other road users adversely. The movement of the dangerous goods through town also is of great concern to us.”

One of the people at the meeting said, “The residents feel that shareholding is top secret, why? And the shareholders were not at the meeting.”

“A huge amount of public money will be spent.”

A similar project's proposal was turned down before an EIA could even be done.

The namib times contacted Ecolab Enivronmental cc and had an interview with Thomas Jonas, the proponent.

We wanted to know the following: 1. What is the way forward on the project for the Development of the proposed Safe Storage Facility?

The 'Safe Storage Facility' will be constricted after consultation with the public , the communities in the surrounding area and all stakeholders

Residents at the meeting in the Walvis Bay Town Hall

such as the Ministry of Environment and Tourism. The facility will ease the burden on the lack of such a facility in the area, to ensure the region complies with national and international safety regulations.

2. Why do you think is it necessary for us to have such a storage facility?

The current increase in the mining and industrial sector created the need for such a facility.

Hazardous material is used in the mining and agricultural sectors. The safest means of transport of hazardous mate-

rial is not by road on long distance which is the current situation.

The safest means of transport of such goods are through the port, which makes the distance by road shorter.

Such a facility will reduce the high risks on the road.

3. If we look at the meeting and how the people reacted, were you prepared for their reaction?

The meeting was positive in regard to the project because a lot of valuable input was received which will be considered and facilitated in the report.

It is also evident it is imperative for such public meetings to make sure the community is not only consulted, but also educated why such a project is necessary.

4. Previously, how were these goods stored, while we do not have a storage facility here?

Or, what is the normal process followed in handling this?

Namibia does not have such an authorised industrial storage facility, and due to the lack thereof, it leaves clients with no choice but to make use of unauthorised common warehouses/storage facilities to cater for such

goods. The industrial sector, such as the mines, have smaller facilities to cater for their limited operational needs on their premises. The mines are awarded licenses to construct such facilities on the mines, however, they are limited in terms of storage capacity.

Jonas says more meetings will be held, and the community will be kept informed of due process.

High treason Sambona got weapons from Unita: Judge

Judgement handed down

by High Court Judge Elton Hoff here yesterday in a high treason trial of 65 people, showed that Samboma was one of the commanders of the secessionist Caprivi Liberation Army (CLA) and was instructed by the top leadership of the Caprivi Liberation Movement (CLM), which was headed by former DTA of Namibia president and Member of Parliament, Mishake Muyongo, to go to neighbouring Angola and purchase weapons of war from Unita, a pro-Western organisation in Angola formed in 1966 by Jonas Savimbi.

According to the ruling, prosecution has presented prima facie evidence that Samboma had met with Unita rebel members on several occasions at a place in the Kwando River area where he exchanged an unspecified amount of diesel for weapons between 1998 and 1999.

“Accused John Samboma had been busy moving between Namibia and Zambia, and visited several Unita rebel camps in Angola. He had entered the Unita rebel camps in Angola via Zambia during 1998 and 1999.

“John Samboma was also seen at a village on the Namibian side of the border on 30 July 1999 carrying a Russian-made AK-47 assault machine gun (rifle) and other weapons, which he had acquired from Unita rebel members,” said the judge, noting that the prosecution has established a prima facie case against the CLA commander.

Hoff said there is prima facie evidence that Samboma was the CLA leader who was in charge of a number of secret military training camps the CLA had set up in the former Caprivi Region (now Zambezi) during 1999.

He (Samboma) also played a leading role in the deci-

WINDHOEK, 14 SEP (NAMPA) - High treason accused John Samboma had played a crucial role in the procurement of weapons from Angola’s former rebel movement of Unita (Union of the Total Independence of Angola) in southern parts of that country, the court heard yesterday.

WINDHOEK, 24 August 2015 - The 65 remaining suspects in the main Caprivi high treason trial being informed in the High Court that judgement on their case will be handed down on 7 September 2015 by High Court Judge Elton Hoff. sion that led the 92 alleged CLA members to cross over the Namibian border into neighbouring Botswana with weapons of war.

It was further established that between 1991 and 1999, Samboma was heavily involved in the conspiracy to secede the Caprivi Region from the rest of Namibia and had attended a number of clandestine meetings and gatherings where the intention

to separate the region from Namibia was discussed.

The 65 accused men are facing 278 charges, including a count of high treason, nine charges of murder and 240 counts of attempted murder in connection with an alleged plot to secede the Caprivi Region from the rest of Namibia.

Fish consumption promotion dinner generates thousands OUTAPI, 13 September – A gala dinner held by the Namibia Fish Consumption Promotion Trust (NFCPT) at Outapi on Friday generated more than N$400 000.

The gala dinner raised N$419 660, which will be distributed amongst disadvantaged rural schools in the Omusati Region to cater for pressing educational needs.

The Omusati Region hosted the 2015 NFCPT National Fish Consumption Day at the Olufuko Festival Centre at Outapi on Saturday.

The Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Bernhard Esau told those in attendance at the dinner Namibia has some of the richest fishing resources in the world thanks to the productive eastern ocean boundary upwelling system (the Benguela ecosystem).

“We have been victim to exploitation of our fishing resources, and we must ensure that these fish stocks remain to benefit our future generations,” Esau said.

He went on to say his ministry will endeavour to en-

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?

“The Namibian fishing sector has a flourishing story to tell; it remains unsubsidised compared to what is happening globally,” the Fisheries and Marine Resources Minister said.

The local fishing sector employs over 15 000 people and is the third largest contributor to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Esau said Namibia’s fishing sector is globally ranked amongst the top 10 for its production and Africa’s leading production and export value.

He pointed out that the

Namibian Government remains committed to the NFCPT’s engagement in fish consumption promotion and the celebration of National Fish Consumption Day. The NFCPT last week also had a road show within the constituencies of the Omusati Region, where community members were informed of the value of fish. They also

received fish and were shown how to prepare it.

The last road show was held for the rural community of the Omusati Region’s Ruacana Constituency on Friday.

During the gala dinner, the Oshana Region was selected to be the host region of the fifth National Fish Consumption Day next year.

Artisanship, vocational training Shiimi's death great loss for Namibian nation: Namfisa The Namibia Financial Institutions' Supermean more employment: Venaani visory Authority (Namfisa) says Namibia Poverty can only be addressed through artisanship, vocational training and reprioritising vocational training certificates so they can have value and allow people to access jobs.

DTA of Namibia president and Member of Parliament, McHenry Venaani made this call during the opening of the DTA Youth League (DTAYL) congress in Windhoek on Saturday. Venaani said while political leaders are quick to call on the youth to realise their potential and ripen the country's development agenda, the youth have largely been left to their own devices in this en-deavour. He said the edu-cation system has failed the country and remains nothing more than a pipe dream for the majority of those exiting secondary education.

Venaani said the DTA wants to advise President Hage Geingob, who has been holding consultations around the country on poverty that “you cannot fight and push back the frontiers of poverty if you do not create artisanship for people to do things with their hands.” You cannot push the frontiers of

poverty if you do not create employment for our people,” the DTA president said. He further noted that the DTA's suggestion for the fight against poverty is to lend more emphasis to vocational training. Venaani said the party has observed government buildings across the country lying idle. These should be used to establish massive vocational training centres so that Namibians who are trained in areas like plumbing and electricity can have access to tenders within their communities as opposed to awarding them to people from outside the country such as the Chinese. Venaani further stated that some Namibians cannot find employment because they lack the necessary training for them to be able to do work with their hands. “One thing that is failing vocational training is that when you get a certificate from the Katutura Youth Enterprise Centre (KAY-EC) or a vocational training centre elsewhere in this country, it is not as valued as a diploma from the Polytechnic of Namibia,” he added. He referred to Germany as being the largest European economy which was built on the foundation of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), artisanship and apprenticeship, saying it is

“What we need to do in our vocational training is to ensure that priority is given to vocational training so that we ensure that a certificate from vocational training has value in the job market,” he said. Venaani also stressed that if this is not done, more and more Namibians will languish in poverty. He re-emphasised that the need for strong vocational training is critical because there is a need to develop knowledge and skills in infrastructure development in all corners of the country.

Shiimi, Namfisa's chief executive officer, died in an accident on the Otjiwarongo-Otavi road on Saturday.

The authority confirmed his death in a media statement issued by Namfisa's Board Chairperson Estelle Tjipuka. The statement described Shiimi as a “humble, amazing human being”. He died instantly when his Toyota double cab drove into the trailer of a truck that was parked on the side of the road after it experienced engine failure. “It is with great shock and deep sorrow that we inform the Namibian nation and all stakeholders on the passing of Shiimi,” the statement said.

It further said those who were fortunate enough to have known and worked with him have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor and national leader.

Shiimi and his wife Eli were driving to northern Namibia when the accident occurred on the B1 road 68 kilometres from Otjiwarongo at around 05h30 on Saturday. Eli Shiimi was rushed to the Otjiwarongo State Hospital and has since been discharged. (NAMPA)

Woman desperate for help Madelaine Laubscher

A local woman, Mrs Moya Davids (52) has been diagnosed with what seems to be an unknown skin disorder (a type of eczema) and up to now, has allegedly not been treated succesfully. It is evident that she is in a lot of pain and she is desperate for any assistance to help her go to South Africa for further treatment.

Moya Davids before her condition started

Her medical aid is exhausted thus she has to pay for her medication herself.

She told the namib times that her condition started approximately a year ago.

“I saw a strange spot on my arm that almost looked like a ringworm. When it made a blister I went to the doctor who was unsure of what it was and the doctor gave me a lotion.

Two days later I returned to the doctor as it got worse. He still did not know what it was.

I was subsequently given cortisone, but it only made it worse. In no time my whole body was red and

covered with blisters.

I went from one doctor to the other. Blood tests were carried out, but the doctors found nothing wrong with my blood.

I have been hospitilised twice because of this condition. It is believed that I have some sort of eczema.

I am in so much pain and can hardly move as my skin breaks open when I move.

I get the shivers and have no energy left. I am cold all the time and my skin is pealing and cracking. My hair has fallen out. I also find it difficult to sleep.

None of the medication prescribed have worked

Motor vehicle accident claims a life A motor vehicle accident occurred yesterday about 12 kilometres out of Swakopmund, on the B2 road, when the driver of a VW Polo Vivo travelling from Arandis to Swakopmund lost control of the vehicle.

Matheus Salmon Roads are too narrow.. roads should be constructed in a way tht even a four wheel bike can fit on the road side after tht yellow line like in S.A, Botswana, Zimbabwe n Zambia. i think we only have one wealthy road and thts between Okahanja and Karibib Kwagga Hendrik Burger Nope. Driving at highspeeds is not narrow roads. Its wreckless driving.

Matheus Salmon Kwagga Hendrik Burger are you a driver, if yes do you know how hard it is to pass a track evn driving at 100Km/h? mybe im saying this because i know how easy it is to pass or overtake a heavy vehicle on south african roads. drive btween swakop and arandis and drive between okahandja and karibib you il see th difference if you are a driver.

Jackson Ndakola Emmanuel The roads are fine. driving at high speed is very dangerously.100km/h is safe as the vehicle’s torque is high and you can control the car unless a head on collision.

Even on that Karibib-Okahandja road, overturning can occur if the vehicle is at high speed. Ignoring traffic rule is the cause of all this unwanted accidents.

Matheus Salmon We all know the relationshp btween speed and torque is inverserly proportional.. tht has nothing to do with overturning. im nt saying once roads are widened accident wont happen but the likelyhood of them happening will decrease.

Soraia Dos Santos Lucas Its not the roads or the cars that we must fear but the drivers. RIP. Prica Mayumbelo Instead of speculating let’s remem-

ber a family has lost a son, brother & dad. May God comfort the family during this difficult time, indeed SWK particularly Mondesa township has lost someone who was known & loved by many. Brethren let’s pray for travel mercies before embarking on a journey, cause no one is immune to road accident it can happen to anyone.

Jackson Ndakola Emmanuel People, the roads are fine. It’s our behaviours, our attitudes wen driving. not respecting our fellow drivers. Not obeying traffics rules... ignoring roads signs. Showing off other drivers that you can drive 200 km/h, not considering your own safety.

Natangwe Iipinge-Shikongo Is it the roads or our attitude on the roads, overtaking at blind spot, overspending, we the drivers must change our attitude on the road. May his soul rest in peace.

Yolande Freygang Koning I also lost my dearest sister Carike Freygang... and I blame bad roads also and of course the drivers... cause I know my sister was a very safe driver and never allowed any one of us to drive without a seatbelt and if you can’t drive according to prescribed safety rules... I promised myself on the very tragic 8th of December that I will try to make a difference in road safety. RIP Marichen Martins Newspapers an lies one was rushed to Whk. Morne Visser Heard the car was full of alcoholic drinks, sad if its true.

Mrs David’s current state

for me and I am desperate for help.

I am willing to go to South Africa for treatment as I have not been succesfully treated in Namibia.

I have even seen a homeopath, but it also did not help. I feel depressed and even feel shy to be in public.

I cannot do my work as I used to and it seems that some people are even becoming iritated with me because of my condition.

I really need help,” she said.

Anyone who is willing to help Mrs Davids can contact the namib times.

A Partial Solar Eclipse - Sunday 13 September

The partial solar eclipse was visible from South Africa, Antarctica and locations in the Indian and Atlantic Oceans.

The eclipse was also visible at the Namibian coast, from 7:25, for more than an hour.

Began: Sun, 13 Sep 2015, 06:43.

Maximum: Sun, 13 Sep 2015, 07:25.

Ended: Sun, 13 Sep 2015, 08:10.

Duration: 1 hour, 27 minutes.

“Partial Solar Eclipses happen when the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth, but they don’t align in a perfectly straight line. Because of this, the Moon only partially covers the Sun’s disc.

The Sun looks like the

Moon has taken a bite out of it. This is because the Moon casts the lighter, outer part of its shadow, the penumbra, on Earth.

During a partial solar eclipse, the Moon’s umbra completely misses the Earth. Everyone in the Moon’s penumbra gets to see a partially eclipsed Sun. There are 3 distinct stages of a partial solar eclipse: Partial solar eclipse begins: The Moon starts moving over the Sun’s disc.

Maximum eclipse: The Moon partially covers the Sun. If you’re somewhere in the eclipse’s path,

you’ll see that the Moon appears to take a bite out of the Sun. Partial solar eclipse ends: The Moon stops covering the Sun.” About 35% of all solar eclipses are partial solar eclipses. This is because the Moon’s distance from Earth is irrelevant for partial solar eclipses. The larger size of the Moon’s penumbra compared to its umbra also means that more places on Earth get to experience a partial solar eclipse.

Protect Your Eyes!

Never look directly at the Sun, eclipsed or otherwise, without any protec-

tive eyewear. The Sun’s UV radiation can burn the retinas in the eyes leading to permanent damage or

even blindness.

The only way to safely watch a total solar eclipse is to wear protective eclip-

se glasses or to project an image of the eclipsed Sun using a pinhole projector.

Celebration event “unexpectedly, abundantly blessed” Liesl Losper

Their intention with this event was not at all to get sponsors; it was to celebrate their second anniversary with members of the community.

But, after Walvis Bay Mayor Uilika Nambahu gave her speech, and ended with a pledge, the hall exploded with joy.

The mayor pledged N$10 000 to the project on behalf of the Mayoral Relief Fund.

Mr Bisey Uirab who attended the function in his own capacity also pledged N$10 000 for the project, saying “I am impressed with what the women are doing, fighting poverty through their charity events. They are so full of energy and I applaud them for that and I encourage them to continue.”

After his pledge, his wife Wilhencia Oumama Uiras also went to the stage and pledged from her own pocket towards the charity group. The pledges received amounted to N$37 500.

Money was also pledged by other guests who attended the event.

Some of the pledges were from a local artist.

He gave the women 50 CDs of his latest album and they intend to sell it and use the money for their projects.

The Founder of the charity group, Erna Reuters, says she respects single mothers more. “I see myself as a single mother of nine, even though six of the kids are kids from my late sister.

Through this project I

want to empower women, because a woman is the best tool to fight poverty and with all of us, together we can do it.”

“Our second anniversary was planned to be a celebration. We just wanted to celebrate and launch our book as members with a few invited guests.

In the end it turned out to be a wonderful event filled with joy and blessings - an unexpected gesture from our invited guests.

Therefore, I thank our Heavenly Father from whom all blessings come. There is a clear indication that, from the beginning till now, God is behind our growth, our prosperity, and that he is guiding us.

To my invited guests,

The Founder of the charity group, Erna Reuters

The women of Aitsama Khaibasen had their second Birthday Celebration recently - and to mark the occasion, they decided to launch a book. The book is a detailed record - with photos - of all the projects done for the year. The members, on a monthly basis, contribute out of their own pockets to organise community events to help the less privileged. They also received support from the United Evangelical Mission of Germany in May 2014, but those funds are now depleted.

From 16 – 18 October

they will be reaching out with their Helping Hand Project to Spitzkoppe and part of the donations they received will be utilised to assist the needy and vulnerable, especially the senior citizens, of Spitzkoppe.

“We are blessed to be a blessing to those in need”, the Aitsama group said.

Celebrating Ten Good Years Andreas Munkelwietz, well-known hotelier and chef of Swakopmund, celebrated his 10th year at Hotel Deutsches Haus on 6 September.

“At the time we came here as owners, it was a ‘privat’ hotel, run more or less as a B&B, they did a little bit lunch, they did not do dinner.

We changed that – we threw open the doors, we changed the light, in German the saying goes, ‘Licht lockt Leute’, or ‘Light attracts people’, so that was the name of the game… we modernised it a bit, changed the colour scheme here and there, and over the years we took it from a rather unknown place that did not play a major role, to a well-known, loved establishment - on the hospitality and tourism website,

Tripadvisor, we are still no 1 in Swakopmund – and have been for many years.

Andreas, as everybody calls him, came from Europe to Southern Africa in 1982 to work in Swaziland for a private company – but he soon joined the Holiday Inn Group, which shortly after that became Sun International. He was part of the opening teams of many of the brightest stars of that Group – Sun City, Lost City, the Thaba’Nchu Sun, Swaziland – and was part of the Hotel Group until 1995, when he was asked to join the team opening the then new Station Hotel Swakopmund, as head chef.

He then moved on to the Windhoek Country Club he helped open half a year later. He was supposed to go and open the Michaelangelo in Dar es Salaam, but he met his wife Cynthia, and decided Namibia was his place. He had a stake in the Brauhaus in Swakopmund for a year, moved back to Windhoek where he opened the Windhoek Brauhaus.

After a heart attack, he decided to make a change – he got a very good offer to move to Germany, but in the end decided to stay in Namibia, moved back to Swakopmund end eventually bought Deutsches Haus.

fessional and travelling people” Andreas says when he looks back over the ten years, he can definitely call Hotel Deutsches Haus a success story.

the hands-on approach they have followed – and are still following.

He has recently sold the hotel and moved to Walvis Bay, where he and Cynthia are planning their next project, but he’ll still be involved in the hotel towards the end of the year – he has chosen the man who’ll from now on manage Hotel Deutsches Haus: “Bernd Böhmker, and his wife Barbara, they make the perfect team for Deutsches Haus – I’m happy and at peace to leave it in his hands. He knows the industry, knows the region, and has been a chef and manager in the hospitality trade for decades.”

Andreas says he’s looking forward to the new phase in his life – more about what he’s planning, will be revealed at a later stage.

Bernd was born and grew up in Swakopmund – but he has lived in the Namibian inland most of his life. Trained as a chef in South Africa, he’s been in

the hospitality industry for almost 4 decades, and has been managing lodges the last more than 2 decades. His team mate and wife, Barbara, is a Malmesbury girl. They got married 36 years ago and, although a trained nurse, Brabara has been his right hand in the industry the last three decades. Both their children are also in the same industry.

Bernd says he is happy to be back in Swakopmund, and looks forward to his new position – he’s officially taken over from Andreas, on 17 August.

He says it is clear that the German spirit, culture and cuisine of Deutsches Haus, and the hospitality and professionalism of service are some of the special traits that people adore. Also the fact that German is spoken, is appreciated by many tourists.

Bernd Böhmker, his wafe Barbara, and the Front-ofhouse manager, Emmy Mbarandongo Bernd and Barbara live on the premises and they have a house in Uis. He says they’ll “go there often, to get some sun!” His favourite dish is pork – and it must be served crispy, says Bernd.

The crispy Eisbein of Hotel Deutsches Haus is one of the favourite dishes it is

known for….and the past weeks, in namib times’s Incooknito column we were looking for the best Eisbein at the coast – well, readers chose Namib Restaurant at Hotel Deutsches Haus as their favourite – Brauhaus in Swakopmund came second.

He also met Bernd, and was officially awarded his prize of two Eisbeins at Deutsches Haus

“Straatligte in die Mis”

dalk binnekort op die rakke Madelaine Laubscher

WALVIS BAY

Koster Cronje (47), ‘n digter van Walvisbaai, het ‘n bundel geskryf getiteld ‘Straatligte in die Mis’ en hy hoop om dié versameling binnekort op die rakke te hê - as hy genoeg borge kan kry.

Publishing World SA het Cronje se aansoek vir publikasie goedgekeur en oorweeg dit sterk om sy werk te publiseer.

Die algemene bestuurder van Publishing World SA het aan hom gesê sy werk is van hoë gehalte en as alles goed verloop, sal dié bundel versprei en bemark word deur al hul agente en boekwinkels sowel as deur ander verskeie winkels.

“Ek benodig N$17 900 om

by Publishing World SA te

kan publiseer. Dus vra ek vir borge om my te help om my droom te bewaarheid,” het hy gesê.

Cronje het in 1985 in sy matriekjaar begin belangstelling toon in gedigte skryf.

“Ek was op ‘n stadium maar stil, maar van 2001 af het ek weer ernstig begin dig. Ek het sangeresse ook genader wat gebruik maak van my lirieke.

Die reaksie wat ek van mense kry is taamlik goed.

Ek is op die stadium op soek na borge om my eerste boek te publiseer.

Daar verskyn 17 gedigte in dié boek.

Ek kan besluit of ek ‘n drie jaar kontrak met Publishing World SA wil hê, en of ek 1 000 boeke gaan laat publiseer. Daar is iets van alles in die boek.

Ek skryf wel graag oor liefde, die natuur, Namibië en musiek. Ek is totaal en al verlsaaf daaraan om te skryf.

Ek wil graag die bundel, nadat dit gepubliseer is, inskryf by die ATKV Pluimpie Toekennings.

Die boek is gerig aan alle ouderdomme en vir enige een wat gedigte geniet,” het hy gesê.

Cronje is ‘n veiligheidsopleidingskoördineerder en in sy vrye tyd luister hy na musiek, maak tuin of skryf natuurlik gedigte.

“Ek kry my inspirasie deur die natuur of prente wat ek sien en verwerk alles oor

15 SEPTEMBER 2015

Imagine a white, picturesque room, hints of crystals, touches of silver and the best company‌ Well, for the class of 2015 at De Duine Secondary, this was not a far-fetched idea. On 15 August, these matriculants were dressed to impress at the auspicious occasion that marked a milestone in their lives, their Matric Farewell dance.

The annual event, which is deemed a necessity to almost all grade 12 learners across the country, was well attended by all learners despite the costs and various constraints that made the event possible.

The community of Walvis Bay turned up in large numbers at the entrance of the event, at Protea hotel, to witness this unforgettable evening. Mr Cordom, a former teacher, played the role of announcer and MC for the evening and his wife Avril, also a former teacher, delivered an astonishing speech that evening.

Other highlights included the speeches by the Head boy, Mark Jack-

son and the Head girl, Dyna-lee Theron, entertainment by the talented brother and sister duo Ayden and Tamaryn and the crowning of the Prom King, Ricardo and Queen, Meriam. This event will be going down in history as it sought for a well balanced evening, just a pity that it had to end.

Now, it’s time for hard work and we wish all the best to the class of 2015 with their external examinations. Next on the calendar is the prize giving on the 17th of September and thereafter the Valedictory on the 18th of September.

The school wishes to thank the principal, teachers and parents who contributed through cash donations and other sponsorships, Protea Hotel and staff, the Walvis Bay Traffic, Ms Natasha Lombard, Wayne Coetzee, Flowerbox, Rolls Royce, Omukwetu Investments cc, Novagate (Ms Eiman), Coastal Import and Export, Mrs Savva, Jacguar Clearing Services, Mr Michael Angula, Ms Stella Van der Colff, Mr Jonathan Cordom, Mrs Avril Cordom, Community Against Crime and the entire community of Walvis Bay.

A donation of N$147 000 was given to various schools in Walvis Bay on Friday by three local businesses in order to encourage the students and to provide for the prize-giving events.

Mr Nardo Sardinha, a co-owner of the companies, Walvis Bay Self Service (Multisave Superstore), Kuiseb PowerSave Cash & Carry, Joint Properties cc and Kuiseb Shop 4 Value Supermarket, said that they believe it is their social responsibility to donate to the schools.

“We donated money to eight schools this year. The schools will use the donations to encourage the students. I believe in education.

If you start right with education, you invest in the future. We have been donating N$150 000 to various schools annually for approximately 14 years. This year we donated N$147 000,” he said.

The money was handed over to the schools at

Kuisebmond Secondary School in Kuisebmond.

A spokesperson thanked the donators for the generous donation.

“We really appreciate what you are doing. Your hands are always open for the schools and the community. We appreciate the effort and steps taken by these businesses. May the Lord bless you. On behalf of the principals of these schools I would like to express my gratitude,” he said.

Mr Sardinha's brother, Amandio, handed over the envelopes and said it is their pleasure to donate money to the schools. “We do a lot of sponsorships for sports but our main focus lies in schools. We will keep doing what we do if it is possible,” he concluded.

Young Ones in Chess Challenge in Swakopmund

So, what do many young Swakopmunders do many a Saturday afternoon? Play chess! The namib times visited the bright ones at play this afternoon in the midst of the quest for the beautiful trophies up for grabs in the Royal Schools Chess Challenge.

Photos by Maria Davel-Wallis

The organiser-coach-Namibian National Chess Champion, Charles Eichab, told namib times it was the first individual and team tournament for schools today - and 155 young ones participated... those in the pics with their hands up?.. Well, that means -checkmate!

“The weekend's tournament called Royal Schools Chess Challenge was a tournament organised by my Academy-Royal Chess-Minds Academy.

Firstly, it's to give learners an opportunity to exhibit their chess by introducing an additional tournament on the chess calendar and second it's to let it serve as a qualifier for the Nationals in the future.

We at the Academy started to coach at the coast (Walvis Bay and Swakopmund)in 2009. We have a presence in those two towns and Windhoek. We coach on several levels- chess as a subject in the classrooms, chess as an extra-mural activity after schools as well as private coaching classes in both Swakopmund and Walvis Bay. We are coaching over a 1 000 kids per week. Children are very excited to play chess because it's a healthy, competitive activity which grows them cognitively. We can through chess lay the foundations of proper thinking from an early age. Chess helps children to think logically and creatively. It develops their concentration, heightens their focus, elevate their calculation ability as well as teach them to see things through the others' eyes.

Chess has a lot of affinity with mathematics and since the game is an excellent number grid, the children learn key mathematical concepts without realising it.

I'm a qualified FIDE Instructor and Chess Master (FIDE is French acronym for the World Chess Federation) and a multiple Namibian Chess Champion.

Chess is the oldest sport in the world. Over 2 000 years old. I'm constantly using this old sport to build new strengths in children.

Regards, Charles Eichab”

At the table on the stage, where the trophies are also waiting, Namibia's National Chess Champion, organisor and chess instructor, who drives to Swakop from Windhoek to train and play chess with all the bright chess minds of the coast EVERY WEEKEND, is Charles Eichab. That's 800 kilometers per weekend for the sake of Chess.... that's passion and dedication! He wrote to us to

explain everything…

Duneside Private High School wins Gold at National Science Fair Liesl Losper At the NamPower Namibia National Science Fair held in Windhoek from 7-11 September, students from all corners of Namibia came to compete and exhibited their projects based on: Environmental Engineering, Human Science, Mathematics, Animal Science, Chemistry and many more fields of scientific research and investigation.

Christon Gude and Eusebio Omar van Reenen with the winning prize of N$10 000 for their school

All 14 regions had students representing them, and the Erongo Region eventually walked away as 3rd best performing region in the country.

Three students from Duneside: Eusebio Omar van Reenen (Gr

Gaironeeza Maclobo (back) with Christon Gude and Eusebio Omar van Reenen, proudly represented their school

12), Christon Gude (Gr 11) and Gaironeeza Maclobo (gr 11), who had each won gold at their regional science fair, were selected to be part of the Erongo Regional team, and to participate at the national science fair. Their projects comprised of investigations into finding organic, un-carcinogenic forms of ripening fruits faster with a gas; the neurogical phenomenon behind

epilepsy and a robotic model made completely out of recycled material. Two of the Students Eusebio Omar van Reenen (Gr 12) and Christon Gude (Gr 11) each won Gold at the National Science Fair. Eusebio Omar van Reenen won the award for the Best Project in his category of Plant Science, and Christon Gude, too, was awarded with Best Project in his category of Electrical Engineering. The 3 students, whose performance was outstanding, contributed this way, to be awarded as the best performing school in Namibia.

This was the first time in 24 years that Duneside won the title at the NamPower National Science Fair. As part of the award the school received N$10 000 for the learners' excellent performance.

Eusebio Omar van Reenen said “I have been taking part in Science Fairs for my school for 9 years this year, and to end it on this note is extremely commendable. It is utterly difficult to win Gold on these National bases, as all young scientists each with their very own unique discovery, and marvellous inventions portray science at its utmost best. These 2 students have worked extremely hard on their projects, all on their own, and were ambassadors for their school with pride.

And how proud I am indeed of them. I'm so grateful for the opportunity I got to take part in the international, national and regional fairs. It has allowed me to prosper as an individual and pioneer in science. Though it may be my last science fair I have taken part in, finding new scientific breakthroughs will never end for me.� The Valedictory of the children organised by the parents, takes place today at the municipality hall.

Karateka Katelin Martin First Namibian Female to be ranked Top 5 in Africa Namibia's sole female karateka, Katelin Shannon Martin of Walvis Bay, did Namibia proud at the All Africa Games recently, when she became the first female karateka, to end in the top 5 for Africa.

Katelin came overall 4th in her division she came very close to a bronze medal when losing in the final for the bronze medal in kata. She missed out on a bronze medal after losing to Viviane Ambani from Cameroon with a 1-4 score.

Before the thirdplace play-off, Martin won against Landu Tshiaba of the Democratic Republic of Congo and in her second fight lost to Sarah Sayed, the 2011 Maputo Games' defending champion from Egypt. Despite the loss, she qualified to the quarter-finals, where she defeated Ballo Aissata from Mali to qualify for a bronze medal fight, but lost that fight.

She is now one of the top 2 karatekas in Southern Africa, and has reached the highest achievements for female karatekas in Namibia.

Speaking to Nampa earlier, Karate team manager Leonard Martin said it was impressive to see Namibia's only female representative at the games put on a great performance and they were hopeful she will become an example for other females in the country. “This is the first time that we brought a female representative to the All Africa Games and she did not disappoint us. She is just 17 years old and this shows that in the future, she might do better. “We are now hoping that other female athletes will look at this and start joining the sport, because we need to have more women representatives at any events that we will participate in from now on,� said Martin.

downers was a good one with 14 players and Danie romped home with 21 points to win the 280 bucks up for grabs.

The winner takes all the 20 bucks entry fee.

Please remember that the Friday nine is the other one than was played on Wednesday, ie if Wednesday was first nine then Friday will be second nine. Also please remember to pay before playing, not only Wednesdays and Fridays but all the time.

That's about it for now.

Jammer, julle ou Bulle, maar Leeus bly koning (see pic )!

PTA Tennis Series returns for sixth tournament of the season Namibia's Pro Tennis Academy's (PTA) Tennis Series will return to action this weekend (18 and 19 September 2015) on the tennis courts of the Windhoek High School. It will be the sixth of eight tournaments in the series this year.

The PTA Tennis Series is the only series of tournaments in Namibia where the participants play according to their skill level and not their age category.

In the midi category, Jamilla Hungamo and Eila Kambonde have their sights set on the division win. Currently, Hungamo sits in pole position with 2 600 points but her lead could crumble as Kambonde sits in second place with a mere 200 points behind the logleader. The two are expected to contest the tournament win again.

The beginners division is currently led by Faith Kahuure with 3 400 points. Another good result would put her out of reach of her pursuers, Delicia Dirkse at 2 400 points and Megano Sheeya at 2 300 points. The pair needs to step up their game to close the gap to Kahuure while keeping a close eye on each other as only 100 points separate them going into the sixth tournament.

Meanwhile Mike Kambonde sits firmly at the top of the intermediate division with 2 500 points. However, he needs to be on his toes as Lorenzo Kotze is in hot pursuit at 2 000 points after a string of great results recently. Cleet Farmer is the player to beat in the advanced category. His total of 2700 points make him the favorite to be crowned the champion at the end of the year. Brandon Maasdorp at 2000 points and Godwin Husselmann at 1 800 points could very well still catch up with him. More information on the PTA Tennis Series is available from Romeo van Wyk at romeo@protennisacademy.com.na or 081 234 9523.

They won the medals on Saturday night in the finals of their respective boxing categories.

Hamunyela fought home favourite Francel Moussiesse in the final. He put up a brave fight but the judges' scorecards did not read in his favour, as he lost on points after three rounds of boxing in the Light Flyweight - 49 kilogramme – category with the judges scoring the fight 2829, 27-30 and 30-27. Namibia's 2014 Commonwealth silver medallist Junius Jonas also won a silver medal at the AAG in the Light Welterweight (64 kg) category after losing his fight against Abdelkader Chadi of Algeria. The judges scored the fight 29-28, 28-29 and 2829. Namibia has so far won five medals - two silvers and three bronze - courtesy of swimmer Daniela Lindemeier and the two boxers, Jonas and Hamunyela. The games end Saturday.

“We need to invest in our players”- Lucky Shipanga Mavourlene !Gaës

The locally based Eleven Arrows coach Lucky Shipanga expressed his disappointment in the organisation of the Namibia Premier league (NPL). He feels a lot still needs to be done and one way to make improvements when it comes to Namibian soccer is to lay a proper foundation and help the players grow.

According to Shipanga whose team contains a majority of young players, with the youngest being 19 year old, Marius Hashipala a learner from Duinesig Combined School, it is very important to invest in the young players and in clubs.

“The first thing we should do to improve our soccer is to inject money into our local clubs, because our youth development is not up to standard.”

He stressed some of the players are playing for

teams that are not having good coaches as some of the coaches are apparently not even qualified to coach a team. “How is a player who has not been properly trained, going to represent Namibia?” he asked.

“The Premier League should go out and look for more sponsorships, get money and then go to the different clubs and find out about the players' contracts. Some of the players are getting paid N$1 000, what is that?”

He urged Namibians to

refrain from pointing fingers and to start thinking realistically when it comes to the future of Namibian football.

This weekend saw four NPL teams facing each other at the Kuisebmond Soccer Stadium.

The first match on Saturday saw Blue Waters taking on the Rehoboth Flamingos. The match ended in a 1-1 draw. Eleven Arrows went up against Black Africa and lost 1-0 when Black Africa’s striker Emilio Martin scored

Flamingos were not giving up without a fight and

managed to score a goal in the 84th minute of the game. The game ended 2-1 in favour of Eleven Arrows.

Blue Waters went up against Black Africa in a tough match that had the crowd at the edge of their

seats.

The match ended in a 1-1 stalemate with goals by Katapose Muna of Black Africa and Brackies Hilarius of Blue Waters.
