Nadat die gemeenskap ‘n lang pad met Mellissa gestap het, deur onbaatsugtig geld in haar fonds in te betaal en by haar te staan, word sy Saterdag ter ruste gelê. Sy is Maandag tydens voorbereiding op haar eerste behandeling oorlede – maar die hoop is uitgespreek dat sy deur die Mellissa Bester-Kankerfonds sal voortleef in die harte en gedagtes van duisende – tot in die verre toekoms.

Mellissa se pa, Joe, haar oom, Marius, en haar broer, ook Joe, was gister by die namib times om hul dankbaarheid teenoor die gemeenskap uit te spreek.

“Sy sou Maandag, die dag van haar afsterwe, met behandeling begin

Swakopmund by-election Continued on page 1 councillor and also Swapo’s regional representative in the National Council, Kambueshe’s duties as mayor will be terminated and a new mayor will be elected.

The official opposition, DTA, will be represent-

ed by Christa Magrieta Hochobes.

After registering as his party’s contestant, Marius Patrick Uwu-Gaeb of the UDF, indicated that if elected, his main focus will be on the housing crisis, as well

as youth development.

Uwu-Gaeb currently serves as secretary for UDF, Swakopmund and served for six years as his party’s youth league information and publicity secretary.

Last, but certainly not

least to register as his party’s candidate, was Councillor Uahimisa Kaapehi of Nudo.

By the look of things, the table is set for a very interesting by-election and residents of the Swakopmund Constitu-

ency are urged to show up in their thousands on Election Day, and by doing so, exercise their democratic right to elect the candidate of their choice.

The Minister of Education, Arts and Culture, Katrina Hanse-Himarwa.

Education Ministry still faces challenges: Hanse-Himarwa The Minister of Education, Arts and Culture Katrina Hanse-Himarwa said her ministry is still faced with serious challenges despite achievements made by her predecessors.

In her first remarks in Parliament on Wednesday, the new education minister said these challenges include shortages of classrooms and hostel facilities, under-performing teachers and principals, and a lack of parental involvement which contributes to low learner performances.

Other challenges include the high dropout rate of school children in some regions due to socio-economic and cultural factors, as well as limited accommodation for teachers in rural areas.

Among her top priorities are the urgent amendment and review of the Education Act 16 of 2001, and the implementation of ministerial regulations that all school building projects must include toilet and sanitation facilities.

Teacher housing and the implementation and periodic assessment of the Ministerial 2012 - 2017 Strategic Plan will also form part of Hanse-Hi-

marwa’s priorities.

Another area that will enjoy importance, the minister added, is the provision of more in-serNudo’s candidate, Uahimisa Kaapehi Swapo candidate, Juuso Kambueshe UDF contender, Marius Uwu-Gaeb vice teacher education and more teaching and learning materials for mathematics, science and technology subjects.

Minister to deliver annual fishing address Mavourlene Gaes

will deliver his yearly Namibia, should be contained in one central policy document, and that cabinet should consider doing that.

The minister says he agrees with that approach of the review team, because it will enhance coordination of service provision activities in the ministry, regarding planning, operation specifically inspections and MCS, as well as administrative activities such as licensing for all directorates.

According to the minister, the review committee addressed the following key focus areas: * Strengthening current policies on resource management,

especially proposing policy statements on rights and quotas allocation system, with a view to ensuring resources sustainability while at the same time enhancing participation of marginalised and previously disadvantaged communities in fisheries. * Main streaming fisheries value addition as a tool for maiming contribution of the sector to national development especially on job creation, skills development and indirect value added activities. * Policies aimed at improving socio economic contribution of the fisheries to national development, food security and maximising resource rent

Minister Bernhard Esau with Anna Erastus contributions.

The staff members, who will eventually be responsible for policy implementation, have also been involved in the workshop this week.

Minister Esau says he'll be meeting the review committee for a briefing on the process as envisaged.

Dunes Mall – Development must be fast-tracked

Bernabé Blaauw Both the Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Mr Tjekero Tweya and Erongo Governor, Mr Cleophas Mutjavikua asked for development to be fast-tracked and unnecessary red tape to be eradicated.

An aerial artistic impression of the Dunes Mall at Walvis Bay

They mentioned the same concern in their speeches prior to the groundbreaking ceremony of the Dunes Mall yesterday in Walvis Bay. Both speakers were concerned about the amount of time it takes for development in the country, not only at the coast, to become a reality after the first tabling of the concept and application for land. However, Mayor Uillika Nambahu, in her speech, joined them by pledging support from the local authority's side to speed up the process where possible. Minister Tweya called on all local and regional authorities to follow suit. Minister Tweya issued a strong warning to Namibian contractors to give their best and not deliver “sloppy work” when they receive contracts. He referred to the leaking roof of the Grove Mall in Windhoek as an example of such negligent workmanship. He asked that they be given a second chance to “deliver” but if they fail, they must be replaced. He also cautioned foreign tenants in the mall to respect the authorities in Namibia and stick to the rules when doing business. He advised them to use Namibian

products and sources where possible. Failing to do so may result in them being requested to leave. “You are invited to do business, not to give us charity,” he said.

The N$480 million, 28 000 square metre mall will provide temporary work to 450 people during construction and 1 450 permanent jobs after completion. The CEO of Safland International Property Services, Kallie van der Merwe said that it took them nine years to secure their first piece of land on which they could construct a shopping centre. He added that they are glad they persevered and that he has been a very outspoken supporter of Walvis Bay and that he had been questioned about this in the past. He said that his reply usually is that Walvis Bay is the town is the town in Namibia with the true fundamentals. “Walvis Bay does not pretend. What you see is what you get,” he noted.

The mall, situated between Diaz Circle and the weighbridge will accommodate 80 tenants and will have approximately 1 000 parking spaces. The completion date is expected to be in May 2017.

Narraville police public meeting Theft, housebreaking and drugs, are again the most distressing crimes Liesl Losper

The Namibian Police had a public meeting with the community on Wednesday. This was aimed to share information as to the status of crime in Narraville as well as to share preventative measures that would assist in combating of crime, or rather reduce indentified crimes. Deputy Commissioner Andreas Nelumbu, Narraville station commander Ulrich Beukes, Paul Fisher of Narraville Neighbourhood Watch (NNW) and many members of this community attended the meeting.

Domestic Violence Deputy Commissioner Andreas Nelumbu says domestic Violence is a big concern. “But what usually happens is, when the assaulted women opens a case of assault with the police the previous night and the next day, the victims come back and withdraw the case because the accused asked for forgiveness. Victims, you must remember that if you withdraw a case, the accused will do it again, next time he might kill you and if

you are dead no-one will be there to withdraw the case. Make sure that justice is served.”

Money issues lead to crime “The youth even steal from their parents’ house to sell the items to get what they are addicted to.

It came to light that the youth also admire drug dealers because of the rich lives they live, the nice cars they drive and the clothes they wear, Some of the community members live next to these drug

suppliers and most of them are afraid to get involved,” Mr van Staden, a member of a concerned group commented.

“False cases also appear when people come from holidays, spend all the money during December and need money. They open a case only for the insurance to pay out. That has also contributed to the rise in theft. Investigators make sure to fully investigate these types of reports and remember, investigations start with the person

that reported it,” Nelumbu commented.

“When you buy a TV, DVD or any electronic device, keep the serial number, because when it is stolen this can help to Messrs Van Staden and P Fisher (Chairperson NNW), Narraville station commander trace the stolen item on Ulrich Beukes and Deputy Commissioner Andreas Nelumbu our system which is linked nationwide with police the increase and they are the person stay and also drug dealers. stations.

Stefan maak Kids Haven sy keuse vir die Stefan Ludik-jeugfonds Liesl Losper Die sanger en akteur Stefan Ludik het vanjaar opgetree by Walvisbaai se jaarlikse “Fishtival.” Die Stefan Ludik Youth Fund het ook die aand van die Walvis Bay Fishtival ‘n tjek van N$15 000 oorhandig aan die Kids Haven-kinderhuis.

“Ek het 'n baie sagte plekkie vir kinders, aangesien hulle so afhanklik van volwassenes is.

Selfs ek as ‘n volwasse man, verlang huis toe as dinge druk by die werk en tye bietjie moeilik is.

Elke kind is geregtig op ‘n liefdevolle ouerhuis waar hulle veilig

voel - maar ongelukkig werk dit nie altyd so nie.

Gelukkig is daar instansies soos Kids Haven wat kan ingryp as kinders mishandel of verwaarloos word.” sê Stefan Ludik.

“Vreeslik dankie aan Susan Ludik wat ons kindertjies genooi het na die vertoning tydens

die Fishtival - ons kindertjies praat nog elke dag daaroor, vir hulle was dit 'n belewenis en ook die feit dat hulle nie baie sulke geleenthede kry nie” sê Merrilyn Leippert, wat baie betrokke is by die kinderhuis en wat ook die borgskap namens die kinderhuis in ontvangs geneem het.

Erongo Red's speedy response avoids possible accident

Liesl Losper

A streetlamp-post was damaged apparently by a car almost a year ago at the corner of Haub and Hoanib Street.

The exposed wires were tested live by an electrician. “Our 3 year- old loves to play in the sand across our house, we always supervise when he does, however, this is a danger to all. We want the lamppost replaced or the wires concealed - at least to prevent possible accidents,” one of the Langstrand residents said.

We contacted the Public Relations Officer for Erongo Red Walvis Bay, Mr Benjamin Nangombe, and he commented, “this is the first time that we came across this specific complaint. We will send our technicians immediately, to either cover it for the night, since it is already late and we will replace

the lamppost by tomorrow morning. We urge our customers to report such complaints immediately, they can do it through our website or lodge their complaint at our call center.” A few hours after the communication with Mr Benjamin Nangombe, our reader sent us this photo of the lamppost that was replaced. “This is awesome service from Erongo Red, even a streetlight that was not working for years in a street at the area was also replaced. Thank you to the technician, Amambo who works for the company, for your speedy service,” our reader commented.

Cape to Europe tourist caught stealing Madelaine Laubscher

The namib times received video footage of a South African man who was caught red handed, stealing from two businesses in Walvis Bay last week.

One of the business owners wants to warn the community about his deeds as he was released

by Nampol.

This man, whom the namib times previously reported on about his Cape to Europe tour, allegedly left Walvis Bay the past weekend after being released by Nampol.

One of the business owners informed the news-

paper and provided us with video footage (see our Facebook page).

“A man walked into my shop on Friday ordering signs to be made. I saw on the CCTV camera that he was trying to hide a readymade sign under his shirt.

He put it back on the shelf and spent some time outside the shop. He however entered again and took the sign and left. I tried to

contact him but he did not answer. He returned later on to collect stickers. I locked the front door and contacted the police. The amount of the sign stolen is N$60. I requested police investigation as well as prosecution. However, when I wanted to lay charges against him, the police told me that he cannot be prosecuted over N$60, which I find completely

absurd. Thus I want to warn the community to be vigilant as he is now a free man,” she said.

According to her the man agreed to pay N$600 admittance of guilt and paid the N$60 for the sign.

The newspaper spoke to Nampol to ask why the man could not be prosecuted as the video footage clearly shows that his intentions were to steal, however

Commissioner Kashuupulwa was not available for comment before the time of going to print.

According to this business owner, she was informed by her brother that the same man stole groceries at Spar. This man alleged that he had the right to shop at any Spar nationwide as they were allegedly sponsoring him. The newspaper spoke to management at

The man on tour that was caught stealing Spar for comment.

“He stole beer, cigarettes and toiletpaper. He bluntly walked out of the shop with the groceries. The security guards confronted him. He is not being sponsored by Spar at all. He was told to never set his feet in Spar again after he begged that

we do not inform the police as he still has a long tour ahead of him,” she said.

According to a source this man is no longer in Walvis Bay and they want to warn all business owners – countrywide - to be on the lookout him.

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?

WBCG Office in Sao Paulo Liesl Losper

The Walvis Bay Corridor Group attended the 21st Intermodal South America, the second biggest logistics expo in the world, in Brazil last week. The WBCG has set up a branch office in Sao Paulo in 2012 and from that point forward has begun to investigate and build up the exchange course as an option for imports and fares between South America and Southern Africa.

“The objective of the branch office of the WBCG in Sao Paulo is to connect the South American market to Southern Africa via Walvis Bay to the Southern African Region.

South Africa is the biggest trader with Brazil and Angola the second biggest trader with Brazil in the SADC region.

Brazil is also developing a stronger footprint in the African market and Walvis Bay offers the shortest connection with only seven days between Brazil coastline and the Namibian coastline.”

Says Johny Smith, CEO, of the Walvis Bay Corridor Group, who has communicated with namib times from Brazil.

The Walvis Bay Corridor Group (WBCG), together with Namport, last week attended the 21st Inter-

modal South America, which is the second biggest logistics Expo in the world.

With a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of US$2, 245 trillion in 2013, Brazil is the world’s 7th wealthiest economy.

It is also the largest country in area and population in Latin America and the Caribbean, with close to 200 million people, and its continuous internal growth is demanding investments in areas such as urban and social development as well as transport infrastructure.

Government sponsored initiatives were launched to increase investment in infrastructure and taxes incentives were given for faster and more robust economic growth.

Brazil’s strong domestic market is less vulnerable to external crisis, and

Brazilians are benefiting from stable economic growth, relatively low inflation rates and improvements in social well-­being.

International companies have as target several segments of the Brazilian economy, particularly oil and gas, biotechnology, tourism and electronic components. Brazil has well-­developed industries in sectors of agriculture, mining, manufacturing and service.

The main industries are textiles, automobiles, ships, airplanes, food and chemistry. It is the world’s biggest producer of sugar cane and coffee, and also an exporter of soya beans, cocoa and orange juice.

Brazil is also one of the leading hydroelectric power producers of the world. Brazil is consi-

dered to be the best emerging country for the retail industry, with an ample and growing consumer market.

Walvis Bay provides the shortest link to connect the massive Brazilian economy to the Southern African market, which serves as a very important trade corridor for Southern Africa as it is an emerging economic partnership and market.

Some of the products currently moving on this trade route via Walvis Bay from Brazil to Southern Africa include chicken, meat, furniture, consumables, construction materials, etc.

Mondesa's sewage miseries tackled Marshallino Beukes

The historical problem of sewage water overflowing the streets of Swakopmund's Mondesa suburb will soon be history, after the town's Municipality awarded a tender (Tender T44/2014) worth N$12 994 310 for the rehabilitation of the sewer system to Strydo Construction cc.

According to the Municipality the sewer lines in Mondesa and other parts of the town are being replaced with new pipes, with some pipes being relocated as part of municipal services. The old pipes are damaged and this causes the leakages in drains and often leads to blockages and overflow of sewerage water in the streets or properties, says the Municipality.

Phase 2 was awarded in terms of the Tender Board Regulations, being valid and compliant with the requirements, to Strydo Construction cc. Construction will be completed fourteen months after appointment. Given the complexity of the works, it cannot be stated with accuracy, the Municipality stated.

According to the Municipality this is a continuation of the previous project and will affect several streets in Mondesa and other parts of the town. Residents were requested to move temporary structures in the way of relocating of the services, in order for the project to run

smoothly. Residents who do not wish to comply with the request should submit their complaint to the Municipal Offices. The Council also urges all residents to support and be patient while the construction is in progress. Last week the constructor had to use explosives in Obadja Uushona Street in order to cut through the rocks and residents were in fear of their properties being damaged. However the explosions were professionally and carefully planned and all went according to plan. The municipality afterwards indicated that the constructor did comply with the requirements set by the Explosives Inspector.

“They had to use explosive because the rock was impossible to remove manually (by using manpower)”, the statement reads.

Currently, sewer systems in the following streets are being replaced: Augustinus Garoeb & Kuruseb street, Obadja Uushona Street, Helao Street, Kambueshe Street and Immanuel Kahmo Street.

One would never believe that Live-It gym in Swakopmund is owned by one of Namibia’s former sport heroines, the way they treat their members!

The swimming pool, which was such an attractive option for the gym, is now out of bounds to members.

Their gym instructors fail to show up for scheduled sessions (eg. spinning) without any excuse, and when they do show up they’re late and offer no apology.

Now gym fees are increasing with OVER N$100 per month?!

I would think that, with the option of the swimming pool gone, they would

at least keep the fees the same for another year, NOT increase it - for what?

I really feel sorry for the ladies at the gym’s reception, who have to bear the brunt of all the disgruntled members, all the while staying humble, apologetic and friendly. . . wish the gym management could learn from them and do something about their own professionalism and customer service!

Looks like it’s not about healthy lifestyles at all! - you stress MORE at the gym than away from it!

Labour minister calls on employers to promote decency Erkki Nghimtina said this in the speech read on his behalf by his deputy, Alpheus Muheua during the opening of the Namibian Employers’ Federation (NEF)’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in the capital on Wednesday.

Nghimtina said this approach fuels industrial unrest and can create antagonism between workers and employers.

“The employers who fuel labour unrest exploit their workforce, maintain an unsafe working environment, or avoid their obligation under the labour and employment laws through practices such as labour hire and casual labour, stand in the way of us reaching

our shared goal of a prosperous Namibia,” he said.

Nghimtina called for the NEF to set the example for all members of the business community by engaging in on-going dialogue with their employees and their trade union representatives to understand each other’s needs and interests.

He further urged them to promote mutual respect at the workplace and to avoid unnecessary labour disputes.

Nghimtina said this requires, among other things, that the process of faithful and collective bargaining between employers and registered trade unions be strengthened.

The minister said the NEF can contribute to

this goal by embarking on a campaign to sensitise employers on the need for on-going training for their management and supervisors, and in particular their Human and Industrial Relations managers, on how to manage and improve labour relations.

“Our ministry is prepared to assist the employers and trade unions to undergo joint training in modern collective bargaining methods in order to achieve this goal,” noted Nghimtina.

According to the minister, government is committed to the principle of tripartite and has been fully funding the NEF to send representatives to key sub-regional, continen-

tal and international labour and employment conferences but it appears that the NEF does not always take full advantage of these opportunities and does not always transfer the knowledge gained at these meetings to their membership.

He urged the federation to take this concern into consideration for the benefit of the continuity and knowledge base of the NEF. “We encourage you to strive to be a vibrant employers’ organisation, articulate in local, regional continental and international forums, informed and driven by our own national developmental agenda.

We also encourage the NEF to inform its

Rock art sites in Namibia vandalised 17 APRIL 2015

An archaeologist at the National Heritage Council of Namibia says many rock art sites around the country are being vandalised and this is a serious situation. ches scarce resources and push heritage institutions away from protection and conservation efforts.

Therefore, a portion of tourism revenue must remain in the community as a means of fostering local protection, conservation and restoration efforts,” she noted.

Nankela said helicopters that fly over the works of rock art such as at Brandberg, spill diesel on the rocks while livestock, off road vehicles, fire, graf-

Accordning to sources, the archaeologist Abbé H Breuil noted in 1948 that ‘the convex rear wall of the shelter is covered from end to end with paintings, some of them excellent.’

The German archaeologist Dr. ER Scherz later described the following figures inside the cave: A giraffe.

Hartebeests.

Two hippopotami.

A jackal.

A kudu.

Numerous human figures.

A rhinoceros.

A sphinx with a thin body and thick buttocks.

The rock paintings in the Bushman Paradise Cave were proclaimed a national monument on 1 July 1954.

fiti, theft, uncontrolled tourism, illegal camping, littering, hiking and mining activities exacerbate damage.

Rock art sites at Spitzkoppe in the Erongo Region have also been badly vandalised due to the mining of granite.

She said there is therefore a great need to impose heritage impact assessments to evaluate the impact that any proposed development or site alternation will have on the

cultural heritage resources.

Nankela said current legislation does not recognise the local means of management and conservation of heritage sites, considering that rock art sites existed long before written laws. This means that there is wide disparity in the existence, awareness and effectiveness of heritage legislation within Namibia.

According to the archaeologist, sites with histori-

cal ties enjoy better protection and conservation than other heritage sites in Namibia, saying that no archaeological sites have been declared since independence.

She added that the complete absence of a heritage conservation fund at a heritage institution makes it difficult if not impossible to effectively conserve the rock art heritage.

She also called on the Ministry of Education,

Arts and Culture to integrate heritage studies into schools, as to create awareness and promotion of cultural heritage from local to global levels.

The current internal heritage register on paintings and engravings is at 62 000 figures found at more than 1 200 sites around the country.

Of the 1 200 sites, only eight have been proclaimed as national heritage sites under the Historical Monuments

Commission (HMS) for South West Africa and the National Monument Council.

Of the eight proclaimed rock art sites only one, Twyfelfontein, is in scribed as a United Nations Education and Scientific Organisation (UNESCO) World Heritage Site, while the Brandberg National Monument is on the UNESCO Tentative List since 2002.

Busy Bodies Montessori School enjoyed a visit from the Easter Bunny! The kids were delighted to find treats scattered throughout the playground. A great 'sugary' time was had by all.

The School also recently helped the residents at the Welwitschia Old Age Home by gathering donations to pay for the energiser for their electric fence to be replaced. Busy Bodies would like to thank their very generous parents for again helping out in such a wonderful way.

Mnr Walvisbaai is ‘n toevoeging tot die kompetisie, want die organiseerders wou nuwe dimensie gee daaraan.

“Dit het groot reaksie uitgelok van ons publiek en ons kaartjieverkope wys dit,” sê die organiseerders.

“Daar gaan in totaal 12 beoordeelaars wees - vyf vir die dames en vyf vir die mans.

Die 6de beoordeelaar vir elke afdeling sal die puntestand dophou, van die vyf beoordeelaars wat op pa-

pier hul punte sal toeken.

Die punte sal daarna elektronies gelaai word.

Daar gaan 'n verteenwoordiger van 'n ouditeursfirma teenwoordig wees, wat dan al die uitslae sal bevestig en wat sal seker maak dat daar geen onreëlmatighede is nie.

Op hul Facebookbladsy, as jy vir iemand wil stem

WALVIS BAY

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste Fakten rund um das ,,Geschäft”

Fragen, die sich sonst keiner zu stellen traut, beantwortet Darmexpertin und Buchautorin Giulia E n d e r s i n i h re m Ratgeber "Darm mit Charme" (Ullstein Buchverlag) völlig ohne rot zu werden.

Das Thema betrifft uns alle, sagt sie. Und mit ihm eben auch Ve r d a u u n g , B l ä hungen und Verstopfung.

Enders ist überzeugt davon, dass wir endlich damit aufhören sollten, uns für unsere Verdauung zu schämen und startet ihr Buch ganz schamlos mit der Frage "Wie geht kacken?". Das Fazit: Unser Klogang ist eine wahre Meisterleistung.

"Zwei Nervensysteme arbeiten gewissermaßen zusammen, um unseren Müll so diskret und hygienisch wie möglich zu entsorgen."

Unser Körper habe hierzu allerlei Vorrichtungen eingebaut und Tricks entwickelt, damit das "Geschäft" nicht in "Tante Bertas Wohnzimmer landet".

Besonders ausgetüftelt seien unsere Schließmechanismen.

Ein Stück hinter dem äußeren Schließmuskel sitzt ein weiterer, den wir aber nicht bewusst steuern können. "So hört der äußere Schließmuskel auf das Bewusstsein und hält so dicht, wie er eben kann. Der innere Schließmuskel ist der Vertreter unserer unbewussten Innenwelt",

Anorektaler Winkel sitzend

hockend

Schließmuskel

schreibt Enders. Und diese beiden Schließmuskeln müssen zusammenarbeiten: ,,Wenn unsere Verdauungsreste beim inneren Schließmuskel ankommen, macht dieser reflexartig auf. Er lässt allerdings nicht einfach alles auf den äußeren Schließmuskel los, sondern erst einmal nur einen Testhappen.”

Die Sensorzellen zwischen innerem und äußerem Schließmuskel analysieren dann "ob das gelieferte Produkt darauf fest oder gasförmig ist". Diese Informationen werden an das Gehirn weitergeleitet und es merkt: "Ich muss aufs Klo - oder nur pupsen." Das Gehirn untersucht daraufhin unsere Umwelt und schaut, ob die Situation gerade günstig ist. Wenn ja, kann es losgehen. Wenn nicht, funke es "Stopp" an den äußeren Schließmuskel und dieser ziehe sich wieder zusammen, erklärt Enders.

Der innere Schließmuskel akzeptiere vor-

läufig diese Entscheidung und der Testhappen lande in einer Warteschleife. Später versucht der Schließmuskel dann erneut sein Glück.

Laut der Darmexpertin ist es wichtig, dass wir uns nicht häufig hintereinander verbieten, auf Toilette zu gehen, obwohl wir müssen - denn das schüchtert den Schließmuskel ein. Die Folge kann Verstopfung sein. Und auch die Klohaltung spiele eine bedeutende Rolle bei der erfolgreichen Entleerung, ist Enders überzeugt. So seien Hämorriden oft die Folge unserer Sitzklos und die Hocktoiletten eine wahre Entlastung für den Darm.

Eine Studie habe gezeigt, dass die Hockhaltung am ehesten unserer Anatomie entgegenkommt. "Unser Darmverschluss-Apparat ist nicht so entworfen, dass er im Sitzen die Luke vollständig öffnet. Es gibt einen Muskel, der in Sitzhaltung oder gerade auch beim Stehen

den Darm wie ein Lasso umgreift und in eine Richtung zieht, sodass ein Knick entsteht." Und dieser bremse den Vorgang ab. Der Vorteil ist, dass die Schließmuskeln beim Stehen oder Sitzen wesentlich weniger Kraft aufbringen müssen, um dichtzuhalten.

Der Nachteil allerdings ist, dass man in der Sitzhaltung stärkeren Druck auf das Gewebe ausüben muss, damit der Stuhlgang kommt.

In der Hocke hingegen würde der Knick am besten begradigt, weiß die Darmexpertin.

"Hämorriden, Darmkrankheiten oder auch Verstopfungen gibt es fast nur in Ländern, in denen man beim Stuhlgang auf eine Art Stuhl geht." Man sollte auf der Toilette daher besser möglichst wenig Kraft aufwenden. http://www.t-online. de/lifestyle/gesundhei t/id_68568904/ratgeb er-darm-mit-charmebeantwortet-fragenzur -verdauung.html

Derweze - das Tor zur Hölle

Auf den ersten Blick sieht die Szenerie aus wie eine Szene aus einem Science-Fiction-Film. Doch der brennende Gaskrater in der Karakum-Wüste existiert tatsächlich und er brennt bereits seit 40 Jahren.

Der Krater in Darvazza, Turkmenistan, ist 70 Meter tief. Er wurde von sowjetischen Geologen während einer RoutinenBohraktion zufällig "erschaffen". Damals wollte man das Loch "ausbrennen" lassen, damit keine giftigen Gase abgesondert werden konnten.

Die richtige Antwort ist Nr. 8. .

Es ist bewiesen, dass der Nährstoffgehalt der Früchte sich leicht verändert, während sie reifen. Wenn eine Banane reift und langsam gelb wird, ändert sich auch ihr Gehalt an Antioxidantien, der in reifen Bananen steigt.

Diese Antioxidantien in reifen Bananen schützen den Körper vor Krebs und Herzkrankheiten.

Je reifer die Banane, desto süßer schmeckt sie. Das liegt daran, dass unreife Bananen viel Stärke enthalten sprich langkettige Kohlenhydrate, die aus mehreren einfachen Glucose- also Zuckermolekülen aufgebaut sind.

Reife Banaen, die mit ein paar braunen Stellen bedeckt sind, beinhalten kaum noch Stärke, denn die Stärke-Moleküle sind bei diesem Reifegrad fast vollständig zu einfachen Zuckermolekülen umgesetzt worden.

Letztere sind viel leichter verdaulich als langkettige Stärkemoleküle

Locker vom Hocker Allein versus einsam

Liebe Küstenleser!

Neulich hatte ich nach einem intensiven Arbeitstag das Bedürfnis, mich bei einem Fünfrosentee ganz allein ins Museumscafè zu setzen und einfach auf das ruhige Wellenspiel des Atlantik zu blicken. Gesagt, getan!

Neben mir saß eine Bekannte mit Familie.

Wir plauderten ein wenig, bevor sie sich mit den Worten von mir verabschiedete: ,,Na, dann genieß mal deine Einsamkeit.” Obwohl sie sicherlich das Richtige meinte, benutzte sie den falschen Ausdruck dafür. Ich genoss einfach das Alleinsein und war dabei keineswegs einsam.

Als ich meinen ältesten Sohn Anfang Februar am Hosea- KutakoFlugplatz verabschiedete, fuhr ich mutterseelenallein für fünf Tage auf die Namib Desert Lodge. Ich wollte, da meine beiden Söhne nun in Deutschland studieren bzw. arbeiten, die neue Lebenssituation mit meinen Kindern überdenken. Als ich das jemandem erzählte, reagierte die Person mit echtem Erstaunen: ,,Was, ganz alleine? ” Ich wiederum fragte erstaunt zurück: ,,Hast du noch nie alleine Urlaub gemacht? Dann weisst du nicht, was du verpasst hast!”

Viele Menschen scheinen Alleinsein automatisch mit Einsamkeit zu assoziieren. Alleinsein wird jedoch nur als Einsamkeit empfunden, wenn man sich das Alleinsein nicht wünscht. Wer freiwillig alleine ist, auf den wirkt es eher befreiend und wohltuend. Hermann Hesse beschreibt dies so: ,,Nur im Alleinsein können wir uns selber finden. Alleinsein ist nicht Einsamkeit; es ist das größte Abenteuer. ” Verstehen Sie mich nicht falsch, liebe Leser, ich bin durchaus sehr gerne mit lieben Menschen zusammen, und der soziale Aspekt ist mir mindestens ebenso wichtig wie das Alleinsein. Allerdings bin ich der Meinung, dass es für jeden von uns äußerst wichtig ist, mit sich selbst zurechtzukommen und sich auch einmal fernab von Menschen in Ruhe Gedanken über Dinge zu machen. Das braucht und soll auch

nicht ein Dauerzustand sein, ist aber dennoch wichtig, um sich auf allen Ebenen seiner Existenz auf eine neue Stufe zu begeben.

Alleinsein ist keine Gefahr, sondern eine Herausforderung, ein Abenteuer, wie Hesse es nennt.

Alleinsein und Einsamkeit zu unterscheiden sei äußerst wichtig, betont John Cacioppo, ein Psychologe von der

University of Chicago.

Denn beides habe zunächst einmal nichts miteinander zu tun.

Einsamkeit, so sagt Cacioppo, ist nicht an die An- und Abwesenheit von Menschen gebunden. Sie sei auch nicht an die Anzahl von Menschen gebunden, die man kennt. Wer einsam sei, dem fehlten nicht einfach Menschen, sondern das Gefühl, von ihnen beachtet, anerkannt und gebraucht zu werden.

Es charakterisiert eine tiefe Unzufriedenheit mit den Beziehungen, die schon bestehen.

Natürlich ist jeder von uns in seinem Leben von Zeit zu Zeit einsam, vor allem, wenn eine große Veränderung im Leben eintritt, zum Beispiel wenn die Kinder ausgezogen sind, oder nach dem Tod des Lebenspartners. Niemand ist davor gefeit. "Menschen die in der Einsamkeit feststecken, haben nichts falsch gemacht", schreibt Cacioppo in seinem Buch "Loneliness". "Niemand von uns ist immun gegen das Gefühl, isoliert zu sein, genauso wenig wie wir immun sind gegen Hungergefühle oder Schmerz.”

Wenn das Einsamkeitsgefühl jedoch absolut nicht weichen

will, selbst wenn man wieder menschlichen Kontakt sucht oder Beziehungen zu intensivieren versucht, wenn sie emotional verflacht sind. dann sollte man auf jeden Fall Hilfe suchen.

Ich denke, es ist wich-

tig, dass man sich selbst und seinen Kindern den Unterschied zwischen Alleinsein und Einsamkeit klarmacht - gerade in einer Welt, wo die beiden Zustände oftmals in einen Topf geworfen werden. Das nimmt die Angst vor dem Alleinsein und ermutigt zu Weiterentwicklung.

Wenn ich mir die kids und auch Erwachsenen heute so anschaue, die sich krampfhaft an jede Form der Sozialisierung hängen, sei es Partys, das Handy oder Facebook, dann frage ich mich allen Ernstes, ob wir nicht dabei sind, das Alleinsein zu verlernen - und damit die Möglichkeit des gesunden Wachstums als Mensch. Wer alles in seinem Leben nur von anderen Menschen abhängig macht, der wird meiner Meinung nach irgendwann in ein tiefes Loch der Depression fallen. Wir brauchen auch etwas außerhalb von wechselhaften menschlichen Beziehungen, das uns begeistert, wenn wir Zufriedenheit im Leben anstreben.

Das jedenfalls meint Ihre Susann Kinghorn, die Gesellschaft genauso liebt wie das Alleinsein

THE RöSSING PENSION FUND STAKEHOLDERS' UPDATE

RöSSING PENSION FUND SURPLUS DISTRIBUTION TO FORMER MEMBERS The Rössing Pension Fund Trustees would like to give an update on the progress made thus far with regards to the distribution of surplus within the fund.

In 2012 the Trustees decided to distribute the fund's surplus in the following proportions:

As of current (2014), the Former Member's surplus reserve accounts stands at around N$105 million and is also being used to cover the legal costs occasioned by the institution of the Court case against the fund.

NOTE: The surplus distribution process to the following recipients has been completed already: · Active members (including disability recipients). · Principal Employer. · All Pensioners (including spouses and children in receipt of pensions) who were receiving a monthly pension in April 2012 received the increase of 14.0163%.

Further to that, the fund embarked on an extensive Former Members' registration process through adverts that ran in the daily newspapers in the year 2012. This process was initiated to capture data of all the former members who were still alive as at 31 March 2012 and who belonged to the Rössing External Pension Fund and the Rössing Pension Fund and who (other than current members or pensioners) had worked for either Rössing Uranium Limited (RUL) or the Rössing Foundation (RF) between 1975 and March 2012 who may qualify for inclusion in the surplus apportionment.

However, the Former Members launched a court application dated 26 September 2012 under case number A235/12 in the High Court of Namibia seeking to review and set aside the aforementioned Trustees' distribution methodology.

For reasons of due diligence, a decision was made by the Trustees to put the former members surplus distribution process on hold until the pending legal process has been completed in the High Court.

Top of the line Volvo XC90 Excellence to be unveiled at Shanghai Auto Show

Volvo Cars will unveil the most luxurious vehicle ever built by the Swedish company in its 88 year history at the Shanghai International Automobile Show - an elegant and refined four-seat version of its all-new Volvo XC90.

The XC90 Excellence has been crafted

by Volvo's designers and engineers to offer customers a distinct and individual automotive experience that incorporates the latest Scandinavian innovations in design, refinement, comfort and style.

The XC90 Excellence is based on Volvo's all new XC90 luxury SUV. The XC90 Excellence, however, has just four seats compared to the original's seven, creating an enormous

amount of additional space for rear seat passengers that helps to deliver an exceptional customer experience.

This space is utilised to offer a First Class automotive experience that begins with broad, spacious individual reclining rear seats complete with massage, ventilation and increased leg room, as well as a retractable control touchscreen, folding tables, a refrigerator with bottle and glass holders, a heating/cooling cup holder and handmade crystal glasses from

leading Swedish glass design company, Orrefors. "This is our new flagship car," said Thomas Ingenlath, Senior Vice President, Design.

"We have created the ultimate luxury experience of Scandinavian design. Volvo has never launched a car like this before. This is the car that demonstrates what the name Volvo now means."

T h e Vo l v o X C 9 0 Excellence offers its passengers footrests, ambient lighting, illuminated storage and unique leather detail-

ing in blond or charcoal, a luggage compartment dividing screen, additional sound insulation in the cabin and Pirelli Noise Cancelling System tyres (PNCS). Volvo XC90 Excellence passengers will also enjoy a specially-augmented Bowers & Wilkins audio system that adds an extra speaker to its 19 speaker system, resulting in unrivalled high fidelity sound reproduction and surround effect in the rear seats.

"What we have designed is amongst the best rear seat experiences available in a luxury car," said Mr Ingen-

lath. "The result is a superlative environment for relaxed comfort or doing business.�

Reinforcing the Swedish love of fresh air, t h e Vo l v o X C 9 0 Excellence also comes with an integrated ionic air cleaner in the CleanZone climate system. The ionic air cleaner works by positively charging electrons in airborne particles (dust or smoke for example) so they are removed from suspension in the cabin environment.

T h e Vo l v o X C 9 0 Excellence also offers a leather instrument panel with contrasting

thread, while the headliner of the cabin is colour co-ordinated pure Nubuck textile.

Exterior styling differentiators include an Excellence rank mark, chrome B- and C-pillar capping and lower door mouldings.

Volvo's all new XC90 is proving to be extremely popular with customers seeking a luxury SUV. Over 24,000 have been ordered before it has even reached Volvo showrooms. This accounts for approximately half of Volvo's expected volume for the car in 2015.

T h e Vo l v o X C 9 0 Excellence incorpo-

rates all the features that underpin the XC90's ongoing success, such as world leading safety features, new power-train technologies and an unrivalled combination of power and fuel efficiency.

The XC90 Excellence will be available globally later this year and via digital commerce in selected markets. The all-new Volvo XC90 sevenseat luxury SUV will be available in South Africa from August this year, but at this stage there are no confirmed plans for the four-seat XC90 Excellence to be sold locally.

Rossmund Golf Club News Good morning one and all from a slightly overcast Rossmund Golf Course.

Quite a few of our players participated in the Namibia Open held at the Windhoek Country Club last w e e k e n d ( 11 / 1 2 April) and really performed well.

Rossmund took 5 of the top 10 places.

Stefanus Bonifacius came out on top with 217 - managing to hold off his long time rival McPaul Ndeilenga by 5 shots.

Well done guys we are proud of you.

Hope you have some good results in Uganda this week.

Wednesday, 15 April,

was once again well supported with some 22 players enjoying the great golfing weather and turning in some good scores.

The competition was sponsored by Swakopmund Service Station (Engen Michael Ludeke) Michael gives great support to all levels of golf at Rossmund.

After a long drought Oupa Coetzee shot a fantastic 24pts over the front 9 holes whilst the 18 hole competition was won on a count out with 41pts Martin Angula

over Neil McLeod.

Check those handicaps dropping.

On the subject of handicaps - please remember you only have 72 hours to enter your score after a round, failing which the system will penalise you automatically - I note from emails received it is happening to quite a few guys recently.

Saturday 18 April will be a Club sponsored Betterball Stableford - I see there are quite a few names on the list already - so obviously a popular format.

Beginners/Development Inline Hockey Tournament

The Coastal Pirates Inline Hockey Club had their first Beginners / Development Tournament of the year last Friday. Over 70% of the 20 participants have only learnt to play inline hockey during the last two months, and many of these have only recently learnt how to skate.

There were five teams of four kids each, who fought it out to see who

could score the most goals.

The referees patiently

reminded many of the participants of the rules of the game as the

matches progressed.

Distractions were plenty as the beginners

got used to the match timer, the scoreboard and having a number of spectators.

The tournament ended with a skills competition to select the best sniper of the day.

The winner was Algino Gaochab, who won with sheer determination.

Thanks are extended to the twins, Joseph and Joshua Zeferinu for being goalies all afternoon and to Amandus Röttcher and Sean Liechti for being referees.

Everyone had great fun and learnt a lot, and every participant received a medal. It was amazing to see all the

smiles on the faces of these new inline hockey players, and to witness the begin-

ning stages of the development of some potentially talented players – the future of Namibian inline hoc-

key looks very bright at the coast !

See next week's edition for more photos.

Nakapunda, Gariseb win in Erongo as Chess League kicks off Otto Nakapunda and Immanuel Gariseb won the Arandis Open and Omaruru Open, respectively, over the weekend.

Nakapunda scored 5 wins out of 5 on Saturday, followed by Gariseb on 4 points and Simon Shidolo (3 points) who edged out three locals from Arandis to claim bronze.

This was the second tournament at the town and although the turnout was not at the same level as the inaugural tournament a year ago, there was fire on the board with the Arandis residents pulling out all stops for the honours.

At the end of the day, Saltiel Ismael was rewarded with the

Best Local Player Award.

On Sunday, the Namibia Chess Federation hosted the inaugural Omaruru Open, which also forms part of the Grand Prix Series.

National Junior Champion Gariseb had an incredible run scoring 5 wins from 5 games, followed by National Champion Charles Eichab on 4 points and Otto Nakapunda a further point behind.

Thomas Ehrich and Fillemon Shatipamba also scored 3 points to share the third prize.

The Best Local Player honours went to Rod-

ney !Kaneb, ahead of Zacharias Domingo and Onesmus Tsuseb.

Meanwhile, history was made on Monday (yesterday) night when the much anticipated Chess Leagues kicked off at Hotel Thuringerhof. For the first time, a second division was created owing to the growing popularity of the Royal Game. Newcomers Jan Mohr SS, King's U-Knighted, Rubinstein, The Kings and Unam Incredible Knights join last season's relegated trio o f U n a m Ti t a n s , Checkmate and Poly Rookers to make up

the 8-team First Division Chess League.

The NamSports Premier Chess League (PCL) is the top division and has been trimmed down from 13 teams to 10 teams this season. The main reason is to increase the quality of play and the feeling now amongs all players is that “there are now no easy games.” There were no major upsets in the matches, apart from former National Women's Champion Nicola Tjaronda's surprise win over Capablanca's Richard Nyatoti to deny the

Shotokan Karate Swakopmund Open Tournament 2015

Sports reporter Shotokan Karate Academy Swakopmund hosted the Shotokan Swakopmund Karate Open for the second consecutive year on 28 March at the Swakop Indoor Sport Centre.

The tournament was open to all Shotokan Karate Namibia karateka and were host to 210 participants of different dojos from Windhoek, Walvis Bay, Omaruru and Swakopmund.

This tournament's main aim was to develop the skills of all karateka on all the levels of age groups and belt categories.

Entries of 5 years to 63 years were present at the tournament, thus making it a friendly cham-pionship.

It also served as a platform for participants

who are preparing for the upcoming International Development Tour to South Africa during August 2015, and also the JSKA World Cup in Swakopmund during 2016.

The Academy wishes to thank Crushplant for sponsoring the medals for the day, and also FNB Swakopmund for the promotional items, donated to all participants.

For more information regarding karate, contact Valdemar Swart at 081 124 2938 shotokan@iway.na

Champions a perfect start to the campaign.

The PCL will be played on Mondays and will consist of 18 rounds in total while the FCL will feature a total of 16 home-and-away rounds. All games start at 18:30. Players who wish to join the League can contact any of the clubs before 27 April 2015 when registration for the Leagues closes.

‘Kudus - Ons trots’ Leandrea Louw

Die Kudus-rugbyklub het Woensdagaand ‘n klein seremonie gehou om hul nuwe geborgde rugby uitrusting te vertoon asook om hul borge dankie te sê vir die ondersteuning.

Die nuwe uitrusting bestaan uit ‘n sweetpak, eerste span en tweede span, rugbytrui en -broek, vir tuis- en wegwedstryde.

Daar is ook ‘n bestuurdersbaadjie, asook ‘n ondersteuners trui.

Mnr Zane Jansen, Voorsitter van die Kudus, het gesê dat hul ‘n trotse span is. “Ons wil net dankie sê aan almal wat dit vir ons moontlik maak om so netjies te lyk as ‘n span, en vir die ondersteuning.

Elke druppel help. Ons kan ‘n verskil sien, ons kan nie kampioene wees as ons nie die ouens soos kampioene behandel nie,” het Jansen gesê.

Mnr Wernard Dresselhaus het ook ‘n beker aan die klub geskenk, vir Beste

Speler van die Jaar.

Hy het ook gesê hy gaan 'n sekere bedrag beskikbaar stel vir die prysuitdeling einde van die jaar. Hy het dan ook die belofte gemaak, as dit goed gaan, gaan hy dit weer doen.

Meneer Tara Frans Shimbulu van Omahuli Construction, het die ouens oor die vingers getik deur te sê dat daar baie mense is wat opkyk na hulle, en hul gewaarsku teen die gevare van alkoholmisbruik.

Kudus het ook 4 spelers in die Namibiese 0/20 span wat binnekort Spanje toe gaan en hulle is Chessbourough Lawrence, Damian Stevens, Cameron Langenhoven en Corné Aggenbach.

Verlede naweek het Kudus

(Vlnr) Luke Moller, Garwan Esterhuizen, Werner Desselhaus en Sakkie Mouton met die beker

hul tweede wegwedstryd teen Rehoboth-rugbyklub uitgedraf.

Die tweede span van Kudus het die tweede span van Rehoboth 40-19 gewen.

Die wedstryd het stadig begin vir Kudus, met ‘n paar oorhaastige besluite, en Rehoboth het behoorlik in Kudus se helfte geboer.

Nadat die manne begin rustig raak het die wedstryd na Kudus se kant gedraai met drieë wat veral in die tweede helfte ingeryg is.

Wardo Sitzer, sleutel, Charlton Dreyer, agste man, JR Jacobs en Shalako Groenewald, buitesenter het gesorg vir die drieë.

Casio Schoombe, vleuel, het gesorg vir twee drieë en Charlton Brussel, binnesenter, het gesorg vir 5 suksesvolle doelskoppe wat die telling op 40-19 te staan gebring het.

Die eerste span van Kudus het met ‘n storm begin met ‘n drie vroeg in die wedstryd deur Anthony Jevu. Aurelio Plato het verdoel nadat hy ook ‘n strafdoel vroeër in die wedstryd deur die pale gesit het en die telling het toe op 10-0 gestaan.

Kudus, het ‘n terugslag gehad, met beserings aan twee losvoorspelers Kubas and CJ en Rehoboth het

Kudus-rugbyklub se eerste span in die nuwe klere

Bestuurslede van die Kudus-rugbyklub, met van die borge, hier gesien met die nuwe rugby uitrusting van die kans gebruik gemaak om punte aan te teken.

Met die aanbreek van die tweede helfte het die Kudus karakter gewys en ‘n agterstand vanaf 15-25 na ‘n oorwinning van 36-25 om te swaai.

Rayton Paulsem skrumskakel het gesorg vir drie drieë, Anthony Jevu, binnesenter en Luande Duvenhange, buitesenter, het gesorg vir nog twee.

Aurelio Plato, het gesorg vir 4 susksesvolle doelskoppe en die een straf-

doel.

Hierdie Saterdag gaan die eerste span en die tweede spanne teen Western Suburbs uitdraf, en klipharde rugby word verwag.

Die eerste wedstryd skop af op die Narraville Rugby Stadion beter bekend

as die ‘Huis van Pyn’ om 13:30.

Die tweede wedstryd, die twee eerste spanne, skop om 15:15 af.

Almal word hartlik uitgenooi om die Kudus weer in aksie te sien.

Walvisbaai-rugbyklub verslaan Jaguars Sportverslaggewer

Remax Walvisbaai-rugbyklub het dit 4 uit 4 vir die jaar gemaak deur vir Jaguars met n telling van 45-3 te verslaan op die Hoërskool se veld in Walvisbaai en lê tans eerste op die puntestand met 21 punte na 4 naweke se wen.

Die agttal van Remax Walvisbaai het die wedstryd goed beheer en het vinnig 'n drie gedruk en die telling was 5-0 in hul guns binne die eerste vyf minute.

Jaguars het egter terugbaklei maar met rotsvaste verdediging kon hul

daarin slaag om 'n strafskop deur die pale te jaag en so ook die telling op 5-3 te staan te bring.

Remax Walvisbaai kon daarna net slaag om twee keer agter die doelyn te gaan kuier en met net een doelskop wat verdoel was, was die halftyd-

telling 17-3 in Remax Walvisbaai se guns.

Die tweede helfte het stadig begin maar nadat die afrigter, Nico van der Westhuizen 'n paar veranderings gemaak het het dinge beter begin lyk en so het die drieë ook vanself gekom.

Remax Walvisbaai het sewe drieë gedruk en vyf van hulle is deur die jong loskakel, Ruan “Boeta” Kotze verdoel. Drieë is gedruk deur Bradd Biller (2), Leeroy Rentzke, Worsie Rohl, Slangman Smit, Jason McAlpine en Jurie Loots.

Remax Walvisbaai het ook in die Paasnaweek toernooi wat deur die Munisipaliteit aangebied is deelgeneem en het algeheel derde geëindig en met die N$ 6 000

prysgeld weggestap.

Hierdie naweek het die manne ‘n welverdiende ruskans en die naweek van die 25 April speel hulle teen Dolphins van Swakopmund hier in

Walvisbaai.

Almal word uitgenooi om te kom kyk en die jong talent van Remax Walvisbaai-rugbyklub te kom ondersteun.
