Passionate Collector visits Swakopmund again Maria Davel-Wallis Alban Kempf (63) has been a collector and philatelist the last 59 years of his life. He was four when he received his first stamps from two of his uncles, who were also collectors - and he was hooked for life. He is a regular visitor to Namibia since 1975. He says his interest in the country and its history was kindled by a book he got from his mother as a present – "Traumland Südwest: Ein Buch der Wehmut und Erinnerung" from the pen of Hans-Otto Meissner.

police returned to the scene and arrested Mr Carbio Seibeb. “We were detained at the Mondesa police station and we were forced to give statements, which we refused to do - We said we will only give our statements in court,” says Mr Kandume. According to Mr Kandume, they were detained for close to eight hours and later they were told that they were free to go. “I asked them why they were releasing us and they said it is because no serious case was laid against us and that they only did it to scare us. Later on during the night, around 00:00 they decided to

vacate as they were warned by the police officers that if they did not vacate, the matter would be taken seriously and they would have to appear in court. On Sunday afternoon they had their weekly meeting and they decided to call a meeting for 22 February. According to Mr Kandume, the three groups, Mondesa, Tamariskia and the DRC informal Settlement concerned group, will sit and discuss the way forward during the meeting. The groups also plan a massive march from 24- 27 February - this will form part of the national mass demonstration march on National Youth Day.

Mr Kandume says he believes that they will go up to a point where they will be sleeping at the Municipality to show just how serious they are. Mr Kandume and Mr /Uirab also say they want to make it clear to the public that their group is not a political group as there are members from various other political groups amongst them who are also in search of land. According to Mr Kandume, they are sorting out some matters with their lawyers so that they can take legal action against the municipality. Mayor Juuso Kambueshe was not available for comment yesterday.

After school he did his apprenticeship as Diesel mechanic at TransNamib whereafter he worked at various companies like Reflex, Otjihase mine and Old Mutual. In 1997 he bought the Seagulls Bottle Store in Walvis Bay and in 2007 he became manager of the Atlantis Sport Club.

His wife Julie passed away in December 2010 after a marriage of 10 years. He was also a founding member and president of the Live to Ride Motorcycle Club. Co-biker and friend for many years, Jannie Vorster, says Vollies was a man who called a spade a spade and he will always treasure the trips they had to Gobabis, next to each other, all the way. He fondly remembers that Vol-

He is survived by his parents, brother, two daughters and the extended family of the Atlantis Sport Club. Further details and arrangements will be announced in the namib times.

of where they are supposed to move and also if they will be relocated on their current plots, after moving. A communication gap between residents and the local authority furthermore appears to contribute to this scenario. The shack owners also complained about the fact that they are supposed to break down their own shacks, carry the building material to another place and start from scratch to construct a new home. Mr Jerry Munyama of Power-Onyeno, which was rewarded the tender

to construct the houses under the umbrella of the National Housing Enterprise (NHE), noted that their instructions are only to build the houses and could not comment on where the residents will be moved or what the way forward looks like. He is of meaning that the Municipality of Swakopmund should explain the relocation procedure to the residents, in order to avoid such hitches. On arrival, Mayor Juuso Kambueshe noted that it was “not such a big issue” and that the number of affected resi-

dents, whose shacks had been broken down and removed, would be calculated and a solution would be discussed with the groups’ representatives. The DRC issue is ongoing for some time now and residents still do not have clarity on what is expected from them and exactly how the whole process will be dealt with. “The occupying of our land was the main reason why we had a liberation struggle. It seems like it is all starting over again, but only this time it is our own people and rich

developers who want to take our land from us. We will die for this piece of land,” was the message sent out by the angry residents. Late yesterday afternoon, the newspaper learnt that the removal of people from the area was temporarily paused, until an agreement between the concerned parties and the municipality are reached. Power Onyeno won a massive contract to build 2 034 houses at a total cost of N$583 million. Onyeno tendered at a rate of N$5 910 per square metre.

NHE answers our questions Liesl Losper

The Regional Manager - West of the NHE, Mr Karl Schroeder, has reacted to questions posed to him by namib times, after the paper was contacted by concerned applicants who alleged that they had received strange calls - apparently from the NHE office, and were offered a speeded-up process, for amounts around N$2 000. He explained the process followed - from application to receipt of a house: “Prospective clients including the person (who went to the Times) are welcome to submit their names to NHE to be put on a waiting list. This can be done through completing a form or by directly entering the details at NHE on our computer system. Unfortunately some clients take these

forms with them to complete it to return it the next day with their latest pay slip and ID. It so happens that hereafter we received reports that con artists are soliciting unsuspecting clients to fill in these forms at various houses in Kuisebmond and Narraville (now only forms completed at NHE are accepted). The result is that these clients who do not hand in these forms at an NHE office are the ones

receiving such calls. These clients are expecting NHE now to rectify the situation which we did in previous occasions where the police were involved to trace these culprits. We have the names of one Abraham Nambambi, and various other tricksters including their cell numbers from which clients are called. Unfortunately it continues and none of these people that received such calls are

currently registered home-owners and they have lost their money in this illegal deal. If there is any NHE staff involved in such illegal practices, then clients must provide evidence so that they can be disciplined as per NHE policies. The process how a house will be allocated to a prospective client is as follows: · The client must be on NHE waiting list · He or she must be a first time home owner · No ITC, re-payment to income must not exceed 25% of his monthly income. · Allocation of house is per the year of application when housing stock

is available · The process of loan approval is then followed up to the key handover date after registration. On a question, regarding rumours that some who get NHE houses, do not live there, but allegedly rent it out, he answered: Since NHE's Conventional house are bank financed and bonded by the bank it is no longer NHE stock. In these cases NHE cannot interfere in the process. Property on NHE's books can be investigated as per the original undertaking by the client at the time of purchase. On a question regarding the NHE's financial

woes and money shortage, and how this scenario possibly affected the Western Region, he said, “The Erongo Region is the region who is currently benefitting the most from the Mass Housing programme. The Government is footing the bill for the Social housing part and NHE must come up with a financial Model to sustain the credit link housing part of the Mass housing. As to the finer details of the finances, there are processes underway to source the necessary funds which needs a lot of negotiations between the main stakeholders.” For the recent progress on the Mass Housing he

LHU long-term commitment to education Sharlien Tjambari Shortages of textbooks in Namibian schools have been a major contributor to the high rate of failure amongst learners in secondary and high schools. A textbook is the most accessible guide for a learner. Langer Heinrich Uranium (LHU) mine have over the past years identified the need of textbooks at the schools in Swakopmund and decided to commit in giving back to the community which it operates in. Langer Heinrich Uranium (PTY) LTD (LHU) had a textbooks handover

ceremony on Friday at Deutches Haus Hotel in Swakopmund. According to Mrs Ratonda Katjivikua, the representative of LHU, it is important that each learner has a textbook because it is a dispensable reference book and an all time companion. The learner makes use of the textbook to prepare himself or herself in

Shack fire- more left homeless Mavourlene Gaes

Seven shacks burnt to the ground Sunday afternoon in Kuisebmond's Sandfontein Street. According to acting fire Chief, Dennis Basson, the cause of the fire is yet to be determined. “The evidence usually burns away, which usually makes it tricky to find the cause” Basson said. It is alleged that the fire started after one of the shack dwellers who was cooking, left the stove or got distracted, which led to the fire breaking out and spreading to six other shacks. Some of the residents were not home when the fire started and lost all their belongings, while others were lucky enough to salvage most of their belongings. Shack fires have become a real problem in the community and in the past two weeks, two houses and close to ten shacks have burnt down, leaving many people without shelter. No injuries were reported in the latest shack fire - everyone managed to escape unharmed. According to the Control Administrative Officer of the Regional Council, Quezy Gariseb, the council will provide the victims with tents as temporary accommodation.

textbooks. “Four years ago, LHU in consultation with the Ministry of Education, decided to purchase textbooks for local schools. This was in support of the late Dr Abraham Iyambo's vision –he once said that there

should be textbooks for all learners by 2013,” narrated Mrs Katjivikua. LHU handed over Mathematics, English, Geography, Entrepreneurship, Life Science, Physical Science and History grade 8 text-

books worth N$120 000 to the Coastal High and Swakopmund Secondary School. Coastal High received a total number of 530 textbooks while the remainder went to Swakopmund Secondary School. “If you are

given a book, the best thing you can do is to take care of that book so that it can be used for the generation to come” said the Governor of Erongo Region, Mr Cleophas Mutjavikua, who also attended the ceremony.

Obtaining Fishing

Permits

Obtain a permit from the Namibian Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources (MFMR) to catch fish or dive for crayfish and respect harvesting limitations. 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?

Young Achievers youth group

Young achievers here for the community Mavourlene Gaes

The Walvis Bay based Young Achievers focuses on issues affecting the youth in Namibia and works at keeping young people off the streets. The non profit group was formed in Walvis Bay on 6 July 2013 by Ester Ndaamekele. She formed the group after being part of the young achievers main branch in Windhoek. According to Ester and Erastus Petrus from the group the aim of the group is to work together with youth and empower them to reach their goals by keeping them away from drugs and alcohol. The group is giving back to the community by helping to make the community they live in a better place. “We have had several activities in Kuisebmond already where we had clean-up campaigns and we still have so much we want to do for our communi-

ty,” Ester said. The group is planning several events to generate money to help the Kuisebmond soup kitchen. Young Achievers has to rely on sponsorships from their main branch in Windhoek, the Anglican Church in the Netherlands and the National Youth Centre they are affiliated to as well as donations. Although they receive money from these institutions the group also comes up with fundraising ideas of their own which will help raise funds for the group. These ideas include a beauty pageant which is planned for 4 April and a six-a-side soccer tournament where participants will walk

away with medals and trophies that are scheduled for next month. “With the money we raise from the pageant and tournament, we are planning on giving a helping hand to the Multi-Purpose

Centre with efforts to uplift the conmunity,” Erastus explained. The Young Achievers meetings are held at the Multi-Purpose Centre every Sunday at two and every member of the group is expected to

Sarah Yates and Clemens Naomab from the Albatross Task Force is a team of skilled, at-sea instructors working with the Namibia Nature Foundation. Over the past weeks, they visited various local schools introducing and educating them about the Albatross. Their aim is to instruct youngsters, to help conserve these eminent flying creatures, so that future generations will have a chance to also admire them.

A very important part to promote public awareness lies in educating the young. One way in which conservationists alert them is through children's books. The Albatross team distributed colouring books, handouts and pastels to the youngsters, who joined them for their presentation. Thousands of albatrosses die every year as the victims of longline fishing. They are attracted by the baited hooks thrown overboard, get caught and are dragged underwater and drown. The Task Force works to develop and exhibit measures to lessen accidental mortality of seabirds in longline and trawler fishing. Fishermen are regularly informed of the basic, cost-effective techniques that, when used, could rapidly reduce albatross deaths. The uplifting news is that basic, reasonable measures exist that quickly lessen seabird mortality when they are incorporated in everyday angling operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through the ATF we have conducted the experimental work with industry and demonstrated how to deploy and retrieve bird scaring lines safely and efficiently. This work under commercial conditions on Namibian fishing vessels, as well as the provision of on-shore workshops for industry has provided a solid basis of trust and information-sharing which we are now using to drive wider implementation,â&#x20AC;? Sarah Yates stated in an interview. The fishery regulations presented by the Ministry that became effective November 2014, will oblige all trawler and longline vessels to use bird scaring lines, and for longline vessels to use improved line weighting.

Onbetaalde Onderwysers op die Oorlogspad Sommige onderwysers teen die kus het blykbaar nou nog nie hul maandelikse salarisse vir Januariemaand ontvang nie en gevoelens is besig om hoog te loop, aangesien geen daadwerklike aksie skynbaar deur die Finansies-afdeling van die Ministerie van Opvoeding (Erongo) geneem word nie. Bartho Enid van Wyk Onderwysers in Otjiwarongo sit ook met die probleem!

Land Grabbers at work The leader of the group of people who started putting up shacks in Swakopmund today at an unserviced piece of land they had previously selected,Gotthardt Kandume, has been arrested by the police, together with two other people. The group had indicated earlier that they were going to put up their structures on the land, would a meeting with the city council not render positive results for them. Frank Boye Whatever they put up, break it down! You voted for your Government, now deal with the consequences!

Do NHE employees bribe applications?

Smiley Kid’s Valentines breakfast Marshallino Beukes

The Smiley Kids Day Care Centre in Mondesa, Swakopmund treated the pre-school’s parents and learners to a romantic Valentine's breakfast, Saturday morning at the SFC Clubhouse. According to the school's owner, Ms Emmarincia Strauss, the main aim of the breakfast was to raise funds to upgrade their current playground. The day care centre roots

from humble beginnings, after it started off in a garage with thirty kiddies in 1999 and from there it went from strength to strength. The school currently employs seven edu-

cators. The Valentine's breakfast was described by Ms Strauss as a huge success and put them well underway to upgrade their playground.

Thát is the question… Last week the namib times was contacted by a reader , and informed about a strange phone call he had received - apparently from the NHE office, informing him about his application which he had handed in almost a year ago. Nancy Carvalho Alejandro I am so shocked to hear the Mr Libongani (NHE) to say that he doesn’t comment on Rumours. I am also one of those who re phoned and I was asked to give money (N$2 500.00) then I will get a house. I am still having that number. Ishantè Da Cruise It would have helped a lot if you post the full story of NHE.

I think there is much more people maybe in Namibia that might had the same experience, Good story, namib times. Absalom Ndeshipanda Ekandjo corrupt elements dont deserve to work with people. Frank Boye Government, Municipality, Political parties... 95% of them are corrupt. People like that should be fired.

INTRODUCING JR

17 FEBRUARY 2015

ENTERTAINMENT

Leandrea Louw

Singing-sensation, John-Raymond Claude Cupido (19), better known as JR to the locals, was born and bred in Walvis Bay. He grew up in Narraville, Walvis Bay, a place where opportunities are very rare. He finished his school career at De Duine Decondary School in 2013. He started singing at the age of 14 in church, “I developed a passion for music, I didn’t learn to sing, some say it's a talent but I say it's a God given gift and you have to honour Him for it.” “I believe music is the best way for everyone to understand each other all over the world. It’s a universial language. His music genres include gospel, soul, r&b, pop

and smooth jazz. “Many of my my fans refer to me as John Legend,” he gushed shyly. He is a master both of the piano as well as the guitar. The saxophone is the instrument he wishes to master as well. “You’re probably wondering why these instruments, well, my music idols are John Legend, Stevie Wonder, Brian Mcknight, Lionel Richie, who all play the piano and Jonathan Butler who plays the guitar.” To give a little bit of insight to how his singing career went so far, in 2011 he joined a gospel

group called Solemn, and they recorded an album, titled ‘I don’t want to live like this’. In 2012 he walked away with 2nd place in a church competition. In 2013 he joined a group collaborating with Enzio Mouton, the group was called ‘Trioville’ where he also entered ‘The Trustco Star Peformer' contest and made it to the top 25. In 2014 he was part of a campaign against woman and child abuse, where they reached out to schools and the youth through music which scholars can relate to.

Living out his passion

JR in action, doing what he does best

“I always thought I would never make it, because resources aren’t exactly available but what I achieved so far up until 2014 made me aware that it all depends on what you want, and how much you are willing to sacrifice to achieve your goals in life. I give my mom the honour and appreciation for always pushing and believing in me.” “I would like to encourage and leave a message to the youth. You can dream but once you start living your dream everything changes so believe in yourself and you will make it no mat-

ter your circumstances. Remember to never forget where you came from because that's what makes you appreciate what you achieved.” For the next year or so, JR solely wants to focus on his music. This year, he’ll be a part of the Women and Child Abuse Campaighn yet again. He is also currently busy with a CD, and he also writes his own songs. “I want and I am going to make a sucess of this, no matter what comes my way.” And yes, hands off ladies, he is already taken. All the best Jr!

ECONOMY

Monthly Monitor: January 2015 Widespread economic stimulus continues as economies tackle the 2015 year head-on. Europe (EU), China, Japan, Switzerland, Russia, Canada and Australia are just a few of the stimulators, whilst the United States (US) takes on the opposite position. Market Review: For the past year or so the strong recovery in the US has been a stable pillar for other economies. However, as of late investors are turning to other economies, such as the EU, China and Japan looking for cheaper markets and avoiding the strong US Dollar (USD). US analyst Garzarelli as well as Bloomberg analysts agree that emerging eco-

nomies' (EM's) equity indices have outperformed those of developed economies in January, led by China. However, STANLIB and other analysts warned that EM's may need a jump in commodity prices to continue outperforming developed markets (DMs). Whilst continued low oil prices are keeping inflation in check and relieving pressure on central banks to

raise interest rates, there has been a small jump in the price of Brent crude during the month of January as a result of lower oil rig counts in the US. This has been greatly welcomed by oil exporters. On 26 January 2015 the price of Brent Crude oil was at US$49.08 per barrel, according to Glacier Research. See table 1 below for asset class returns over various periods:

Portfolio Performances: Although markets move in random ways over shorter periods like a month, they become more predictable

given enough time. Below we show the performances of cash: the steady thin red line – a proxy for cash and bonds (safety assets) and

local shares: the volatile thin brown line – a proxy for different types of shares (growth assets), and my six managed portfolios as graphed by MoneyMate.

Graph 1: 12 Month Returns

The strong performance of SA bonds over the recent months is reflected in my safer portfolios as they all outperformed their benchmarks. However, cash has not managed to outperform inflation for most of the past year, limiting the returns. The Conservative+ portfolio returned 8.2% (clearing the 8% benchmark), the Cautious portfolio managed 9.4% (over an 8.5% benchmark), and the Cautious+ returned 9.9% (outperforming a benchmark of 9%). Since the stock market correction in October last year, shares have rebounded somewhat allowing my growth port-folios to outperform their benchmarks. The Moderate portfolio generated returns of 11.1% (over a benchmark of 9.5%, the Moderate+ portfolio returned 11.6% (over a benchmark of 10%) and the Assertive portfolio managed to return 12.7% (over a benchmark of 10.5%) for the year ending January 31. Valuations and Risks: In January the emerging market equity index outperformed the developed market equity index. Certainly the slight recovery in the oil price has helped EM's bounce back. Bloomberg reports that money is flowing out of the US and into the EU and EM's

to take advantage of weaker currencies, cheaper markets and also to benefit from quantitative easing in the EU, China and Japan. · US The US economy continues to show steady growth in their economic recovery. Quantitative easing (QE) has ended, but thanks to low inflation figures and positive Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, there is little pressure for the Federal Reserve to increase interest rates too soon. The USD continues to strengthen, and has gained 3.7% against the euro in only 1 month! US analyst Garzarelli reports that US shares remain in a bull trend, despite downward pressure caused by the strong domestic cur-rency and slightly disappointing earnings reports for the beginning of 2015. · EU The EU has announced further economic stimulus programs in the hope of fighting deflation and improving economic performance. This significant QE package as well as the weak euro may provide some relief to the economy

and is indicated in the increased flow of credit to the private sector. European shares are picking up as investor sentiment improves. · ASIA The Chinese economic slowdown continues, but GDP figures have still been better than expected for the end of 2014. This combined with further economic stimulus has boosted investor confidence and the share index continues on a bull trend. However, relatively lower demand from China has a negative effect on commodity prices and therefore the wellbeing of most other emerging economies. Japan continues to employ economic stimulus to fight its deflationary recession. The Yen depreciated further, helping the equity market. The Bank of Japan left interest rates unchanged at 0.1% and will keep buying 80 trillion Yen in government bonds per annum. · SA The South African Reserve Bank decided to keep interest rates unchanged (Repo rate at 5.75%) as the lower oil price is keeping inflation at bay. It is mainly electricity constraints which are expected to dampen economic

performance in the near future. SA shares have picked up in January, including resource shares. The JSE is continuing on its 6 year old bull trend, but is considered overpriced by some. In Conclusion January has seen investors scrambling for value outside the US, and the price of Brent crude has been anything but steady. 2015 is already proving to be a volatile year, hopefully presenting good investment opportunities. However, the unpredictability of the markets remains a constant, and levels of portfolio returns cannot be guaranteed. It is therefore advisable to stick to your longterm investment plan.

The Dolphin Schools news

ATHLETICS On Saturday, 7 February, The Dolphin Schools held their annual InterHouse athletics, pitting Ocean Chiefs against Sea Warriors in an all-out battle royale for the coveted few top positions.

They broke a record, broke a sweat, and a few gazebos broke down due to fierce winds. A wonderful time was had by one and all with those precious few qualifying for the Coca-Cola athletics in Windhoek as well as the zonals that will be held in Swakopmund. By end of day the competition between the houses simmered down and finally the salty Sea Warriors won the day

Rössing marathon new champion… Sharlien Tjambari

The runners gathered from 06:30 at the Swakopmund Sports Stadium in Vineta on Saturday morning. The marathon started at 07:00. People turned up in huge numbers and were very excited to be part of the event. In the 42 km run, Reonard Nampala, running for the Namibia Defence Force (NDF), won the Rössing Marathon National Championship 2015 in cool, misty conditions, and

what most of the participating athletes labelled ideal weather conditions for long distance running. Nampala won in 2:19:57, eight minutes outside of Luketz Swartbooi’s record of 2:11:23 and more than six minutes faster than last year’s winning time of 2:25:14. Nampala said after the race that he participated in the Rössing Marathon a number of times before, “but this is my first win

in the event. As usual it was a tough race. I am glad to be the National champion” he added. The NDF team continued their dominance over the last couple of years at the marathon with both the second and third place in the Men’s Open category also going their way. Aron Tjivambi and Elifas Shuuya came second and third in 2:24:53 and 2:41:23 respectively. In the Ladies Open Marathon

She was followed by Ottilie Aimwata with a time of 2:57:27 and Julia Jansem van Vuuren in 3:19:25. In the 10 km run, a drove of Namibia’s top long distance athletes challenged each other for top honours. It was Reinhold Tomas of the Namibian Police (Nampol) who even-

tually took the crown for the men in time of 0:30:50, with Simon Shipingana of NDF second in 0:30:59 and Uveni Kuugongelwa, another NDF athlete, coming third in 0:31:04.

The Men’s and Ladies’ marathon winners received N$10 000 cash as well as a development bonus of N$20 000 each, for the continued development of

the athletes’ careers over the remainder of the long distance running season in 2015. Speaking at the main prize giving ceremony after the event, Rössing managing director Duvenhage Werner said, “the Rössing Marathon forms part of our commitment to promote healthy lifestyles in the mine’s neighbouring communities. The development bonus was introduced in 2010 and this is the fifth year that Rössing is investing in the future of our country’s sporting heroes.”
