Die Minister van Seevisserye en Mariene Hulpbronne, mnr Bernard Esau, het Saterdag besoek afgelê by meer as 200 senior burgers in Mondesa, en hulle toegespreek. Hy het by die geleentheid gesê senior burgers moet waardeer en gerespekteer word, aangesien dit aan hulle te danke is dat die jonger generasie in vrede, vryheid en bestendigheid kan leef. Minister Esau het gepraat tydens ‘n Kersete wat deur die Epango-groep gereël is vir senior burgers van Swakopmund se Mondesa-woonbuurt. Volgens die organiseerders van die geleentheid is dit ‘n jaarlik-
se instelling om hul waardering teenoor die seniors te toon. Verlede jaar het sowat 130 persone baatgevind, en vanjaar het die getal meer as verdubbel, met byna 300 senior burgers wat die pad na die Meduletu Gemeen-
skapsaal gevind het. Esau het veral klem gelê op die feit dat senior burgers nie meer deur jongmense gerespekteer word nie, en terselfdertyd uitgevaar teen sjebeens wat harde musiek dwarsdeur die nag
speel, en sodoende die ouer garde se nagrus verstoor. Hy het die Epango-groep, bestaande uit tien vroue, geprys vir die insette wat hulle lewer, rakende hulp en bystand aan weerlose kinders, asook aan die
senior burgers. Hy het voorts sakelui gemaan om terug te ploeg in die gemeenskap, aangesien hul winste direk vanaf die verskeie gemeenskappe kom. Vanjaar se Kers-ete en geskenkpakkies

Minister Esau het dadelik besluit om N$3 000 vir die goeie doel te skenk, met Raadslid Rosalia Andreas-Noabes, Mnr Felix Shipepe en Eerwaarde Gustav Kamatoto, wat ook elk ‘n N$1 000 geskenk het. Minister Esau was hoog in sy noppies met ‘n splinternuwe braai-stel, wat die Epango-groep aan hom as geskenk gegee het. Die publiek en besighede word genooi om die Epango-groep te ondersteun met bydraes en donasies,
van watter aard ookal. Deur dit te doen dra almal by tot die bekamping van armoede en ook die dorp se sosio-ekonomiese opheffing. Die Epango-groep is nou maar drie-en-‘n-half jaar oud, maar het reeds ‘n groot verskil in baie minderbevoorregte huishoudings gemaak. Behalwe die kombers-insameling het hulle ook onder meer sopkombuise, waar veral minderbevoorregte kindertjies baat vind. Individue of instansies wat donasies wil maak, kan Mevrou Annette Tjaveondja by 081 233 7457 kontak.

Musikwoche opens on High Note Continued from page 1 text, which he based on the lyrics of Prof RK Belcher. Randall Wicomb was commissioned to compose the music for these lyrics and Jo Decaluwe, owner of the Tinnenpot Theatre in Gent, Belgium, was invited to direct the musical. Decaluwe is well-known in Namibia for past performances such as ‘Vincent van Gogh’; ‘Damiaan & Vandaag Geen Hamlet’; and also directed ‘The Defence of Socrates’, with Aldo Behrens as Socrates.
Genadendal, a musical fantasy, starts with Peter, standing at the Pearly Gates in dialogue with the Angel of Death, diarising the latter’s assignments of the day. Their task is constantly side-tracked by a vaguely visible community – on mother earth - singing some heavenly music. Then nature in a far-off desert tampers with - and tempers - voices and melodies, with harmonies, rhythms and incantations
– in such a manner that the mandate of the Angel of Death is slightly affected. Additionally ‘Race’ will also be staged. This play reflects the story of three attorneys, two black and one white, who contemplate whether to defend a white man charged with a crime against a black woman. ‘RACE’ will be performed at the Bank Windhoek NPS Kulturaula in Swakopmund, on 27, 28 and 29 December at 15:00.

Hope you didn't miss the Fair Sharlien Tjambari The annual Municipal Christmas Fair in Swakopmund drew bigger crowds and more attention than ever. The Swakopmund community gathered in huge numbers at the Palm Garden, below the Statehouse and Café Anton. The official opening of the 41st consecutive Christmas Fair took place on Friday evening, but the stalls were set up from the early morning hours on Friday. Every year the number seems to triple. “From small beginnings, years ago, when a handful of craft workers came together to show their work, the Swakopmund Christmas Fair has grown and expanded” said the Mayor of Swakopmund, Juuso Kambueshe in his opening speech. The place was bustling and there was hardly any place for movement. People were happy to see all the beautiful products that were showcased and sold, against the background of Christmas carols, with many saying it felt like they were already celebrating the birth of Christ. Parents came with their children and their pets. The Fair
is an event organised by the Municipality to create the Christmas spirit in town. In the same vain it is an opportunity for exhibitors to raise money by selling their homemade and handmade products not only to visitors but all Swakopmunders, added the Mayor. The area was beautifully decorated, and most surprising was the fair weather that made it even more enjoyable and fun for everyone. The African Vocals a Cappella Band performed some of their best numbers and drew a lot of attention to the Amphitheatre. Some said it was a pity that certain performances were missed, because a lot was happening at the same time. According to the Mayor, the fair is a social event for families and friends from here , there and everywhere, to spend quality time together.
The different stalls looked amazing Friday night
Walvis Bay…are you ready? Sharlien Tjambari
The Municipality of Walvis Bay welcomes all visitors to Namibia's logistics gateway to SADC (Southern African Development Community) and beyond. The Walvis Bay Municipality believes their port has a lot to offer to their visitors and that the visitors will use the time to appreciate and enjoy the sensitive natural and urban environment in a responsible way. According to Mr Gert Kruger, the Manager of Economic Development of the Municipality, Walvis Bay is developing fast and visitors can be assured that the Walvis Bay of today will be vastly different than the Walvis Bay over the next five to ten years. “Major developments such as the expansion of the port are already in progress and the planning of other developments that would change the face of Walvis Bay comple-
tely is in advanced stages” says Kruger. The Walvis Bay Municipality also believes they are ready to receive visitors from the inland and provide them with the required services. The Esplanade Park, Dolphin Park and Long Beach are all fully booked from 17 December to 7 January 2015. “All visitors to Long Beach Resort should take note that this will be the last year that the camping site would be
in use as the development of the new camping area at Dolphin Park would commence early in 2015.” Kruger also says some refurbishment and improvements to the chalets have been done at the Dolphin Park and Esplanade Park, to ensure that guests have an enjoyable stay. The Municipality also hopes to have the Kiosk and Jetty Pub at Long Beach opened by 23 December. The Municipality of Walvis Bay together with the
Namibian Navy, has ensured that three people will be deployed as personnel at Dolphin Park, two at Long Beach and four at Kuisebmond Beach respectively, for the safety of guests. The Municipality of Walvis Bay urges the
users of these areas to be very careful and vigilant when swimming in the ocean as the currents can be very unpredictable. The Municipality also urges those with quad bikes and those going
to ride them not to drive west of the Walvis BaySwakop-mund road, unless the bike is licensed and the driver has a license to drive it s a i d M r K r u g e r. Visitors are also reminded that no fireworks
are allowed in residential areas and camping areas such as Long Beach Resort. They are requested to take the safety of animals and other people into consideration.

Die leier van die Meersig-buurtwag-reak siespan, Riaan Archer, sê dis danksy goeie samewerking tussen Nampol, reserviste en die buurtwag. Archer sê die reaksiespan bestaan uit 15 lede wat van 24:00 tot 4:30 die omgewing patrolleer. Buurtwagte het ook die lig gesien in die strandmeer-gebied, op Langstrand en in Hermes. Archer sê te midde van al die positiewes is dit onrusbarend dat mense so gou apaties raak sodra die misdaadsyfer daal….hy sê mense wil dan skielik nie meer deel wees van die patrollies nie, en wil hulle
aan die aksie onttrek, totdat hulle weer deur misdaad geraak word. Hy het ook ‘n ernstige oproep gedoen op inwoners om meer behoedsaam en verantwoordelik op te tree. Hy sê, telkemale snags ry hulle by huise verby waar die inwoners hulle garagedeure nie toegemaak het nie, of waar ‘n motor staan met waardevolle artikels soos rekenaars sigbaar binne. Hy sê dit is van die uitdagings wat hulle in die gesig staar – hy doen ‘n beroep op inwoners om toe te sien dat hulle dit nie maklik maak vir misdadigers nie. “Hou die garagedeure
toe, hou motors leeg binne, en wees oplettend en paraat, sê hy.” Die buurtwag werk op donasies, mense ry patrollie met hulle eie voertuie en radio’s en flitse moet ook in stand gehou word. Al die kostes word uit donasies gedek. Hy sê mense wat nie self patrollie wil ry nie, kan indien hulle betrokke wil raak en deel wil wees van die stryd teen misdaad, ‘n donasie doen. Hy het inwoners aangemoedig om alarm te maak as hulle iets gewaar wat hulle tot kommer stem. Sy nommer is: 081 129 8223.

Access! Namibia – Women Entrepreneurs hone their skills
Namibian Women entrepreneurs recently joined their peers in 21 other African countries as participants of the ACCESS! Export Development Services for Business Women Programme aimed at honing their International Trade and business management skills. Fully funded by the Ministry of Trade and Industry the programme is in line with the "Growth at Home strategy", and is geared for women with active businesses, a manufacturing base and the potential to increase their production capacity. The Namibia Trade Forum (NTF) was chosen as the national focal point for its implementation while working closely with the International Trade Centre (ITC) in Geneva, Switzerland. Lapitomhinda Hashingola, Communications & Liaison Officer at the NTF, says: "ACCESS! is not just another women empowerment initiative. ACCESS! is designed to specifically address everyday challenges faced by our Namibian business women. Here, we have a wonderful, practical programme which offers export development services, technical training, coaching and mentoring to our wo-
men entrepreneurs based on their business needs." Phase one have commenced in September this year during which twenty (20) Namibian trainers with background in International Trade and or Commerce completed an intensive 2-weeks Training of Trainers (ToT) conducted by regional lead trainers Linda Holtes (South Africa) and Dorothy Tuma (Uganda). "Our candidate trainers completed a written test as well as a practical training in the area of International Trade and Commerce. This was the requirement for them to qualify as accredited ACCESS! National Trainers. They performed very well and we are pleased that seven National Trainers have successfully completed this test to implement this programme with our NTF Secretariat,” confirmed Hashingola. He says going forward the objective is to each year help launch a
Namibian-manufactured product in selected export markets. The programme has already trained 40 women in Namibia. About the Namibia Trade Forum: The Namibia Trade Forum is an agency of the Ministry of Trade and Industry. The company was launched on 6 June 2006 as a “Section 21 company”. Its main objective is to institutionalise Public/ Private dialogue and cooperation with emphasis on international and domestic trade as well as investment policies as stipulated by the fourth National Development Plan (NDP4). NTF serves as the highest Public/ Private partnership on international and domestic trade, and investment matters of government. About the Access! Programme: In 2014, the Ministry of Trade and the International Trade Centre (ITC) partnered to launch the “Access!
Namibia - Export Development Services for Business Women” programme to empower women entrepreneurs in the country to tap new markets and increase their exports. ACCESS! in Namibia is a trade-related technical assistance programme jointly implemented by the Namibia Trade Forum (Focal point institution) and the International Trade Centre (ITC) - a joint agency of the United Nations and the World Trade Organisation with the support of the Government of Namibia, through the Mini-

promoting their economic empowerment and contributing to poverty reduction and improving standards of living.
Stick to camping rules during the festive season Sharlien Tjambari The Namibian Coast Conservation and Management Project (NACOMA) had a media information session regarding its Law Enforcement Awareness Campaign. The meeting was about the rules and regulations of camping within the Dorob National Park. “NACOMA has been an able Partner augmenting government's efforts to protect the coast's natural resources and its environment during the past few years” said Mr Peter Schivute, the Chief Control Fisheries Inspector. The Ministry of Marine Resources will deploy their staff to designated areas to ensure that visitors comply with regulations implemented to safeguard our marine resources and the environment, added Schivute. Anglers are urged to take out recreational fishing permits and they must present it with all relevant documents to fisheries inspectors on request during inspections. Mr Schivute also said the public should refrain from buying any marine resources
from unregistered vendors, as there are syndicates who trade in marine resources illegally. Mr Braby, the Coordinator of NACOMA said they want people to enjoy themselves without necessary compromising the environ-
ment and he also said the visitors should understand the areas where permits are required and where they are not required. All people who enter the park must comply with instructions of signposts, signboards, pamphlets and they must obey any legal order or instruction given by a Law-enforcement officer.
The Ministry of Marine Resources and Fisheries will also assist with the distribution of information brochures indicating designated off road driving (ORD) routes, the public can find the Dorob National Park rules and Regulation brochures at their regional offices in Walvis Bay, Swakopmund and Henties Bay and also during their routine coastal patrol operations.

Marines ready and able Marshallino Beukes The Namibian Navy conducted their 5th intake of Marine recruits formation, Specialisation course and the Marines Amphibious Special Operations graduation ceremony at Tashiya Wilbard Nakada Barracks, last week at the Rooikop Army Base, near Walvis Bay. This graduating ceremony is historic, due to the fact that it was the first ever Amphibious Commandos Special Operations Training conducted in the country. Training was previously conducted in Brazil. Initially 36 recruits signed up for the Amphibious Commandos Special Operations training, but only 17 marines managed to successfully complete the course. The other 19 could not continue with the training, due to the high demand of intensive physical activities. At the occasion, Navy Commander, Rear Admi-
ral Peter Vilho, noted that the training have been conducted with the assistance of the Brazilian Marines Advisory and Training Team (BRAZMATT), under the leadership of Captain (N) Giovanni Farias de Souza, assisted by 29 officers and other ranks. He remarked that, although the marines still have a long way to go, they have already done commendable work. The Navy Chief said they have successfully laid the foundation for a marine battalion that features a composite capability, comprised of a Rapid Reaction Unit, Amphibious Special Op-
erations Unit, Operational Boat Unit and Operational Diving Teams. The Amphibious Special Operations Unit will be responsible for dealing with asymmetric threats, as well as objectives behind enemy lines. “To those that are graduating today, I would like to agree with you that the training was not easy, nor was it designed to be. Those that have fallen out are probably good soldiers who may succeed in other specialties. But they were not good enough to be marines and we shall not apologise for that,” the Navy Commander said.
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?

Lazarus Gariseb and the Atlantic Brass Band performing in Swakopmund
Atlantic Brass Band spreads Christmas Cheer The past few weeks the sounds of this brass band have been luring visitors to several spots in Swakopmund.
Christmas market Carlo Gawaseb Das Neves: The town to be ..... !!! Ben Plastilon: Dankie tog, ons bly nie meer in n Swakop soos dit 20 jaar gelede was nie. Die dorp lyk pragtig, gaan vooruit, en bied oneindig
meer aan inwoners en besoekers Jenny’s Pictures Namibia: Was gister daar... is maar net nie dieselfde soos 20 jaar terug nie... alles het agteruit gegaan. June Lund van Schalkwyk:
Is it like old times or made in China? Ingo Irle: Nice interlocking and refreshed garden surroundings. Give that new gardener and others a special Christmas bonus.
Die group of the Lutheren Church, Tamariskia, was the brain child of Lazarus Gariseb senior in the early 1980’s. He led them until three years ago, when his son, Lazarus jr, took over. The members do not all own their instruments. Some have bought their own, some of the instruments are the property of
the Church - donated by the German Evangelical Lutheran Church, and some are gifts from individual owners. The band plays in church, sometimes at funerals or weddings of members of the church and then often, they bless the wider community with their music. Gariseb says he helps
with the teaching and studying of music. The past weekend the Band performed at Woermann Brock Vineta, on invitation. On 20 December the Atlantic Brass Band will perform at the company’s store in Mondesa, and on the 27th they will play again at the branch in Swakopmund.
Aan almal wat my Namibians should eat their ken, ek is jammer own fish – Minister
Ek het mens en God gefaal, maar ek stap as oorwinnaar uit saam met Hom en stel my 100% bereidwillig om God se
The small town of Karibib is slowly but surely making its mark in the economic sector of the country, with the opening of a Fish Processing Factory yesterday, as the latest addition. Kim Yung Ill: Our GRN n minister only now realises that we need 2 eat our onw fish! N believe me fish s awesome! The problems we can’t afford it... Oh! Its normal hoeka we can’t afford anything in
Hiermee wil ek graag verskoning aanbied vir al my vriende en familie wat ek ooit te nagekom of teleurgestel het deur my optrede. Lig te wees. Laat ons eerder soos Efesiers 5:18 dronk word van die Helige Gees... en nie van drank.

Nambabwe! No houses no cars no meat no fish nothing! One good thing though, we can @ least still buy bread (N$10) and maize meal... What a blessing!
As een van julle wysheid kortkom, moet hy dit van God bid, en Hy sal dit aan hom gee, want God gee aan almal sonder voorbehoud en sonder verwyt. Jakobus 1:5

The fact that this prestigious event is hosted only in the most upmarket venues internationally, and that it attracts the highest LSM segment of the market, Air Namibia has asked the organisers - Tamasa Trading Fine Wine Merchants and Media Nova Publishing to host these events on all Air Namibia’s routes from 2015 onwards. The 2015 Swakopmund Wine Extravaganza - that is co- sponsored by OM Card, Multichoice Namibia and Air Namibia, is scheduled to be hosted in the Swakopmund Hotel on Thursday 18 December from 17:00 - 21:00, and on Friday and Saturday 19 & 20 December from 11:00 - 21:00.

sors are bringing very exciting special offers and competitions to the event.

OM Card will offer very attractive prizes and incentives to their new and existing clients during the festive season and beyond. Air Namibia and Multichoice Namibia will similarly offer exceptional prizes and special offers. Air Namibia business class tickets to Frankfurt, Cape Town and Johannesburg can be won at the Swakopmund Wine Extravaganza to the value of N$100 000.

Christmas Fair Resounding Success The Christmas Fair with its more than 100 stalls attracted hundreds of people on Friday and Saturday - much to eat and drink, wonderful Christmas presents and other niceties to buy - even old books. And against the background of live music, and the sound of Christmas carols, it was an event to remember for years to come, or at least until next year’s Christmas Fair.
Early on Sunday when namib times visited the premises, hardly any evidence remained of the hustle and bustle of the previous nights. Cleaners were at work, and the last products were packed and removed.

On a certain day, around end of May 2014, while working for our construction company (Strydo Construction CC) in the DRC area, we saw a great need for helping the malnutritioned animals. We decided to try and make a difference in at least a few of these dogs’ and cats' lives and health. My daughter and I made two pots of maize meal, mixed with pet mince and sauces, and we fed 46 hungry dogs and cats that day. Seeing all the faces of those dogs we could not feed and those pleading eyes, is the reason which made us decide that we want to help all of them. We started looking for food sponsors, and we named our project. We received food donations from a lot of good-hearted people and businesses, sharing our love for animals, even though we are not a registered organisation. With these donations, we could feed an average of 180 – 200 dogs and cats per morning. We started feeding three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) to keep the meals constant to give us a better chance of getting these dogs and cats healthy (the food we give is quite nutritious and a lot of dogs and cats have shown big overall health improvement on their skin, in Project” Swakopmund)
16 DECEMBER 2014
We drive through that DRC area in a single cab bakkie with all our equipment and food on the back, searching out the dogs and cats in need. The reason for not having a single or a few feeding points, is because most pups and kittens are too afraid to leave their houses and look for food. Other dogs and cats are tied or locked up and we do not want all free roaming pets together at once. This becomes a problem for us in handling them and could be become a traffic concern. We try to feed all of the dogs and cats at their own homes, while doing this, we start building up relations with the pets and their owners and we educate the owners of all we know about treating their pets good, humanely and to care for their basic needs. We educate them not to tie up their pets too tightly or in harsh conditions, but rather always with a clean water bowl and in shade. We help filling bowls of water up where it is needed as well.Since we started with this, we could really see an improvement in how some owners started taking more interest in their animals, treating them a lot better. We are committed to this cause and challenge the public, every restaurant and each individual to open your hearts to these animals and donate food to “Feed a Paw” Project. Maize meal, dog/cat pellets, canned dog/cat food, pet mince, sauces/soups, breads and absolutely any leftover foods are welcomed. We do even take old blankets (we put them down for random dogs and cats in need thereof by ourselves) or any plastic wear for water bowls (this also gets handed out where needed). We also accept foster homes now and then. And if there are some of you who are interested in helping in some other way: We do take volunteers and if these volunteers could help by driving with us in their own vehicle with more food as well, that would be dearly appreciated. We also have some Vet bills to be paid sometimes and since we are only a small group of people, it becomes hard paying for everything needed in our project ourselves. Two dogs are chosen per week to be sterilised and they receive THEIR FIRST INJECTION. The follow-up injection which is 1 month thereafter has to be paid for by the owners where they also receive a huge discount. For most of these dogs it is a first time visit to the Vet and the Vet even give these dogs a secondhand blanket to take home. We are not in charge of this project, we were only asked to choose the dogs, since we know them well. You can visit our Facebook page 'Feed a Paw Project' where we inform you of the numbers of dogs/cats fed on different days, stories concerning certain dogs/cats, videos, photos, etc. Our cell numbers are 081 437 6704 (Madelaine) and 081 847 4294 (Michelle) or via email cherizestrydom@gmail.com.
We are also helping out with “Have-aHeart project.”

Nuwelinge wen Desert Dash Sport Verslaggewer
Twee Suid Afrikaners, Nichol Jordaan en Lulu Ceronio het die solo-afdeling van die afgelope naweek se Desert Dash-bergfietswedren gewen. Die fietsry-kompetisie word jaarliks aangebied en honderde fietsyers van heinde en verre toets elke jaar hul uithouvermoë teen die natuur elemente. Die wedren skop in Windhoek af en deelnemers moet die strawwe pad via die Khomas Hochland berge en die woestyn tot in Swakop-
mund aanpak. Meer as 500 fietsryers het hierdie jaar die ongeveer 370 kilometer-lange pad na die kus op hul bergfietse gery. Daar was ook voorsiening vir groepe van twee en vier gemaak, met onder meer Langer Heinrich Uraanmyn wat ook ‘n span ingeskryf het. Die wedren
"So I said yes!"
Vir een van die plaalike fietsryers, Flippy de Klerk, was dié Dash 'n baie besonderse een dit was sy eerste solo-rit, maar ook sy laaste, in meer as een opsig. By die wenpaal, het hy nie net die wenner van 'n sertifikaat geword nie, maar ook die wenner van Christine Visser se hart. Hy het van sy ysterperd afgeklim, en soos 'n wafferse ridder op een knie haar gevra om te trou. Haar antwoord, soos wat sy dit op Faceboek gedeel het: "If a man loves you so
much that he cycles for more than 23 hours through the desert to pop the question, then there can be no doubt that he is the one - with Flippy De Klerk. Toe namib times hulle gekontak het, het hulle gesê volgende jaar gaan hulle in een span aan die vierman-afdeling van die Dash deelneem.
het ongeveer 15:00, Vrydagnamiddag, in Windhoek begin. Dit was die eerste keer dat die wenners van die solo afdelings (mans en vroue) aan hierdie strawwe kompetisie deelgeneem het. Eerste Nasional Bank was die hoofborg vir hierdie jaar se kompetisie.
