Unregistered accommodation outlets hurt Swakopmund hospitality sector Registered outlets urge municipality and NTB to waiver or lower rates

Early closure of schools due to the National Elections and National Clean Up Campaign

Isaac Chikosi

This letter serves to inform all the government schools two important issues.

Owners of registered guesthouses and bed and breakfast establishments in Swakopmund are crying foul over the high number of unregistered airbnb's. The owners of accommodation registered with Airbnb are competing unfairly against establishments who are registered with the municipality (fitness certificates etc.) as well as the Namibia Tourism Board (NTB) which among others are taking levies per occupied bed. The complainants wrote an official letter to the municipality of Swakopmund urging the local authority to waiver annual fees for fitness certificates, as there are numerous establishments not registered. A second letter was directed to the NTB requesting a decrease in NTB levies. Although not disregarding the NTB's efforts the past years to compel owners of accommodation establishments, specifically Airbnb's to register, the owners who complain say the unregistered businesses are unfairly

Firstly, due to the National Elections which has been scheduled to take place on 27 November, the Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture is directed by the Minister to close all government schools including the hostels on 22 November. However, schools management are hereby advised to make the necessary internal arrangements to compensate for the lost time with the support of the inspectors of Education. Secondly, schools management are being reminded of the National Clean-up Campaign which is scheduled to take place on 20 September. Letters to this effect were sent out on 23 August and 2 September. Schools should ensure that everyone participates in this very important activity to clean the whole school including where applicable the hostels. This activity can be carried our during weekends and can involve the communities around the schools on voluntary basis. Furthermore, all schools are obliged to carry out regular general school grounds cleaning as well as daily classroom and ablution blocks cleaning. A clean environment is essential for conductibe learning atmosphere. Finally, all school management should be reminded to take serious measures to prevent vandalism of school property at all times. The Ministry also relies on your professional input and support to maximise the remaining time in the best interest of all learners.

Petty criminals hold Walvis Bay ransom Eileen van der Schyff Scrap metal scavengers continue to inflict damage and losses to residents of Walvis Bay. In this latest incident in the central business district one of these scavengers broke off a water tap, leading to huge water losses and also the premises owner who had to incur expenses of several hundred Namibia Dollar to repair the damage. Community members at the scene on Sunday rubbish bins at houses simply to carry their stolen said the Namibian Police need to step up foot items. Many of these scavengers shift to the patrols in the central business district during central business district over the weekend where day time (seven days a week), as this is when they consume alcohol, harass the public. Many most of these offenses are committed. Despite live in empty houses in the central business police officers deployed on foot, petty crimes district and even the suburbs where they also and public menace remain out of hand. That can remove all fittings in the houses to sell as scrap only mean the Police is not approaching foot metal. patrols with a clear strategy in mind.

competing when not paying levies and fees. Secondly, Airbnb's have grown by such big numbers in the Swakopmund accommodation and hospitality market that competition have become fierce and cut-throat. Many registered accommodation establishments as a result are forced to cut costs, including retrenching employees and reducing procurement from service providers. “…furthermore, we request to waiver the fees for fitness certificate for the next 2 years. I guess it is only fair to give all accommodations the same chance as no one is doing anything against the illegal Airbnb, so we should have also the same rights”, reads and extract of the letters sent to the municipality and NTB.

“Firstly, scrap metal dealers must have window periods when scrap of say under 50kg can be sold. Let us make it for instance Wednesday of every week from 09:00 to 16:00. On those days police officers must attend at the premises of the scrap dealers and every person's belongings are searched and such persons must provide account of the origin of the items”. Adding if the person cannot explain the origin of the items it needs to be confiscated. Secondly, this resident proposed, the Namibian Police should step up their stop and search of people's who carry backpacks or other bags such as canvas bags. The Police must also confiscate shopping trolleys which are used by scavengers, as these trolleys belong to the supermarkets. “We can deal crime a significant blow if our police take their daily patrols of Walvis Bay serious and for instance commit themselves to targets like 25 searches per member per day. Walvis Bay's streets are also ruled currently by vendors who simply put up stalls on street corners and on pavements without proper hawkers licenses or confining themselves to hawkers' areas. If we don't tackle crime at grassroot level we would also not be able to curb more serious crimes. Let us start at the basics”, this person said.

Mrs Bosman with the members of the “Op en Wakker Club”

Mrs Bosman Turned 90 Rudi Bowe A retired teacher of Walvis Bay, Mrs Annie Bosman, celebrated her 90th birthday on Saturday. Friends and family celebrated this milestone moment with her. Mrs Bosman was an English teacher at Narraville Primary School (NPS) for the last 15 years of her decades-long career as teacher. Bosman’s motto is you might be aged in terms because of years, but your mind and your spirit can stay young. She does sewing that not only keeps her hands moving but it is also excellent exercise to the mind. The birthday party was set up by her children and her friends from the “Op-EnWakker Club”. Some former students- and colleagues were also in attendance to celebrate Mrs Bosman's birthday and to pay tribute to the role she played in their lives as young people. Bosman used to teach English and Sewing. She helped countless girls with their matric farewell dresses. Mrs Bosman - we salute you for your contribution you made to the community of Walvis Bay and we wish you many more years of joy, health and best moments with your loved-ones.

Empty houses are stripped of all things valuable and serve as havens for criminals and vagrants

Dozens of people are illegally selling goods on the streets of Walvis Bay without hawker’s licenses or in areas where hawking is not allowed - an example is in front of banks which pose a security risk. Police officers are passing these illegal hawkers daily, but seem not to be interested to enforce the law and ensure public order

Paratus claims the economic effect could have been much worse Windhoek, Namibia - 16 September: Paratus Group CEO Barney Harmse was recently interviewed about the latest outages in Namibia as a result of maintenance on the WACS undersea cable in Swakopmund. He was transparent about the impact on and extent of the network and the technical expertise of the Paratus team across the African operations. “We remain cognisant that Paratus is not only a local operator, but an operator on a pan-African scale. It is therefore prudent to mention that if we did not have a future investment goal for the network across Africa, as we have been doing, this maintenance would have had a crippling effect on Namibia, its businesses and the economy as a whole.” He clarified that the redundant routes available on the network alleviated the flow of traffic and also confirmed that a further bottleneck on these routes could have had a massive impact on the entire communications and ICT industry. The knock-on effect would have created a detrimental degradation of service to enterprises in the country. The fact that Paratus invested hundreds of millions of dollars in redundant routes across the continent has been part of the saving grace during the WACS Maintenance time frame and that better network planning lessons were learnt during the process. New and alternative measures have already been put in place to safeguard the network for future challenges. “I have to praise the technical resources we have employed across our African operations and also the depth of experience they have. Their ongoing capability to manage the network and especially the crisis-managing resilience they have displayed, has shown extraordinary ingenuity,” he adds. Responding to the issue regarding their plans to safeguard the future of the network, Harmse explained that the network is like an Active Dynamic organism. “Adding a new route for redundancy or new development needs to be part of a fully inclusive architectural design.” He says the entire network evolves. “There are various factors one has to take into consideration such as the age of the network, how the network was 'architectured' and how it is managed. On various fronts and concurrently with other countries, Paratus has and will continue its unconditional investment plans across the region.” “The question is not whether portions of the network will go down, which is a reality worldwide, it's about how you react when the challenge is in front of you. We built our network accordingly, because we have a purpose and a cause to achieve,” he explains. When asked about Paratus' purpose and cause for future plans, Harmse says private operators play in a very distinct space and have a supporting role to play in the ICT segment across the continent. “We cannot expect governments to do everything, irrespective of the challenges that they face, regardless of budget constraints or technical resource challenges that may present itself.” “Paratus is a private operator, we have to play an active role in supporting governments because they cannot do everything themselves. In Namibia, as one example, we manage more than 40% of the country's GDP across various industry segments,” he adds. “We have a purpose, a goal, an objective to achieve and we do this to safeguard the network and provide our clients with a seamless network experience across Africa,” Harmse concludes.

Road condition update: C14 Walvis Bay to Solitaire

The first 50 kms from Walvis Bay is in a good condition. The next stretch up to Kries se Rus is in a fair to bad (on some stretches) condition, characterised by an uneven road surface which include corrugation, loose sand and stone. From Kries se Rus up to the Tropic of Capricorn-line, the road is in a good condition as it was recently graded. (Photos: Contributed). (Source: West Coast Safety Initiative).

Christian group on way to Swakopmund in horror crash Eileen van der Schyff A Christian group on their way from Okamatapati to Swakopmund for a church event faced horror when the mini-bus they were travelling in overturned on late Friday afternoon. The driver was one of the fourteen unfortunate people who died in the crash. The 16 seater minibus was carrying 45 passengers including the driver. The other passengers sustained less serious to serious injuries and were transported to the Otjiwarongo State Hospital. Some of the injured were transferred to Windhoek for specialist intervention.

Drunken driving the cause of a lost life Eileen van der Schyff

A passenger in an Opel Corsa lost his life when the driver, under the influence of alcohol lost control over the vehicle causing it to overturn about 10 km from Walvis Bay on the C 14 road this past Saturday. The 49-year-old driver was also injured and arrested after he tested positive for alcohol and now faces charges of culpable homicide and drunken driving. He was admitted in the Walvis Bay state hospital in a stable condition and is under police guard. Shikalepo Matheus Hamutenya (47), passed away at the scene of the accident and a third person traveling in the same car, Wilhelm van Wyk (40), also sustained injuries and was admitted in the Walvis Bay state hospital.

Man shoots himself at the front Eileen van der Schyff door of his house It is suspected a 52-year-old man shot himself outside his own house on Thursday 12 September. Jacobus Kaundinge Haipinge parked his car at his home. The sound of the car woke his wife and she looked through the window and saw him walking around inside the yard. She then went back to sleep as this was not an unusual thing for her husband to do. The next morning, children on their way to school discovered Haipinge lying next to the front door. He had an open wound under his chin and upper head. The children informed his wife who then informed the police. A pistol was found next to Haipinge's right arm. The ownership of the firearm must still be confirmed. No foul play is suspected at this stage and no suicide note was found.

White mussel harvesting continues

Two people with wetsuits were spotted on the beach south of Walvis Bay on Sunday harvesting hundreds of white mussel. The drove a grey pick-up with an Outapi registration mark. The registration number was in the meantime reported to Fisheries). Anglers who saw the duo harvesting the mussels expressed concern this might be a renewed effort to illegally harvest white mussel for large scale illegal profit. The Minister of Fisheries recently halted a license for the harvesting of white mussel on commercial scale, and therefore activities such as this need to be reported to fisheries inspectors without delay.

American NHL star notices and sponsors hockey player from Swakopmund Eileen van der Schyff

In 2018 in the Namibian Ice and Inline Hockey Association (NIIHAO) trials, a hopeful boy from Swakopmund, George Tjahaapi, secured a spot in two of the teams that were selected for competing in the 300 team tournament in the United States of America, called the State Wars where Patrick Maroon, an American National Hockey League (NHL) star saw the young Namibian hockey player. The greatest moment in the entire tournament for George was his meeting with NHL Star Patrick Maroon. Patrick Maroon is an inline hockey player in the National Hockey League in the United states. He plays for the St. Louis Blues. Pat and his team, the St. Louis Blues won the Stanley Cup, the NHL Championship Trophy, in 2019. “Patrick was at State Wars with his family and coaching his son who is in the same age division as George. Pat saw George play and was impressed with his playing ability.” Said the Namibian Couch, Brian Sobel. After hearing of the financial struggle, it was to get George to America for State Wars he wanted to meet the eleven-year-old. Patrick took George hockey gear shopping in the arena with the Namibian couch, and Lizette Traut. He bought George new sticks, elbow pads, gloves, shin pads, under armor, socks, padded pants, tape and a hockey bag. In the days before, George was sponsored new skates by Tour and the Pirates. Pat's kindness and generosity did not stop at buying George new gear, Pat showed up for George's last 3 games and talked with George after each game. At the end of the tournament George and Pat's son exchanged jerseys. George says he will never forget Patrick and his family and will work hard to hopefully see them all again. Sobel said, “These selfless acts are examples that bring out the best in all of us. It's such an amazing world, or small world, where an NHL player from America, such as Patrick and a Namibian boy such as George can meet and find common ground in a sport, they both love and in the end find themselves a new friend.” Sobel concluded: “The kindness and generosity shown towards George caused him to have trouble wrapping his head around the entire experience and at times he just says, 'God bless Pat.'”

Fistball League Playoffs The Bank Windhoek Fistball League playoffs will take place on Saturday, 21 September 2019 at the Deutscher Turn und Sportverein (DTS) Sport Fields in Windhoek. The action will kick off at 08:30.

Max Höwer from SFC 1

National Short Course Swimming Championships The IJG- Debmarine Namdeb Foundation Namibian National Short Course Swimming Championships 2019 will be taking place from 19 - 22 September at the Cube, Swakopmund. Seven swimming clubs that will participate are Aqua Swimming & Fitness (38), Dolphins Swimming Club (86), Flippers Swimming School (20), Marlins Aquatic Club (8), Oranjemund Sand Sharks (13), Phoenix Swimming Academy (1) & Swakopmund Swimming Club (9) and 175 swimmers. We are extremely grateful to IJG Holdings and the Debmarine Namdeb Foundation for coming on board as our main sponsors of the event. The support toward swimming as a growing sport as well as a life skill is tremendously appreciated. We will also be hosting our Annual Prize-Giving awards at the Swakopmund Paintball and Action Arena on Saturday 21 September at17:30, where our swimmers will be awarded on their performance from the last season (May 2018 - April 2019). For this event we have received a generous sponsorship from Old Mutual. We at NASU would like to express our sincere thanks to all our sponsors, IJG Holdings, Debmarine Namdeb Foundation, Old Mutual, Bank Windhoek, Rent-a-drum, Emcon, SlowTown, Fika coffee bar and Perfect Wishes - without your support these upcoming Nationals would not be possible. Thank you.

The tourney will divide the top and last four teams in the Bank Windhoek Fistball League standings in two groups: A and B. Two first and second teams from Cohen Fistball Club (CFC) and Sport Klub Windhoek (SKW) will battle it out in the first semifinals in Group A, while CFC 3, Swakopmund Fistball Club (SFC) 1 and 2 and hosts DTS will compete for top honours in Group B's second semifinals. Boosted by the inclusion of five National team players, the reigning champions, CFC 1, have been picked as favourites to win Group A, while Group B remains open for dominance from each of the four participating teams in the group. In the Group A, CFC 1 will face the fourth-placed CFC 2 in the first semi-final. Club mates SKW 1 and 2 will lock horns in the second semi-final of Group A. Group B will witness another internal club con-

test as SFC 1 and 2 face each other for bragging rights. However, CFC 3 and DTS have also made their intentions clear in winning the group. The semi-final games are set to be between the best out of five sets. The match for third and fourth place will take place after the semi-finals. “The final matches are expected to take place in the afternoon and we invite fistball enthusiasts to come witness top class fistball. Thank you Bank Windhoek for making this possible,” said Fistball Association of Namibia's Media Officer, Helmo Minz. “Bank Windhoek wishes all competing teams the best of luck. It has been an exciting season and the sport goes from strength-to-strength. We look forward to see who will be crowned this year's champions,” said Bank Windhoek's Public Relations Manager, André le Roux.

It's off to Zambia for municipal games teams The Council of the municipality of Walvis Bay provided a budgeted N$200 000 for municipal employees to compete in the Southern African Inter-Municipal Sports Association SAIMSA Games from 22 to 27 September in Lusaka, Zambia. The total budget for the participation is set at N$366 530-58. Taking into account the allocated budget from Council of N$200 000, the shortfall of N$166 530-58 had to be funded by the municipality social club contribution (N$94 530-58) and own contributions by employees N$72 000-00. A total of 48 personnel members of the Walvis Bay municipality will be competing in the SAIMSA Games in volleyball (2 teams), pool/snooker (1 team), a fun walk (people), netball (2 teams) and darts (1 team). I have no doubt that they will represent Walvis Bay well and bring home medals and trophies as usual” the mayor Alderman Immanuel Wilfried said on Tuesday night.

First Golf Sponsorship For Binnacle Marine Binnacle Marine on Saturday, 7 September has joined a very exclusive list of sponsors of the Walvis Bay Golf club. Binnacle Marine stepped in to fill a gap caused by the postponement of the Club Championships. The format was Individual Stableford and despite a lot of rugby distractions on the day, a very nice field of 35 players eventually made it onto the course. Winner of the day on an exceptional 40 points, despite uneven and sandy greens was Tienie de Wet. There's a saying that bad putters do well on bad greens. He was followed by David Peak on 37 and Michael de Barros who made a special appearance, on 36 points. Two clubs were recorded by Koot Potgieter and Andre Burger. Thank you to Binnacle Marine who promised to be back next year.

This coming Friday, Palms Home or better known as Huis Palms, have their golf fund raiser and potjiekos competition at the Club. Entries are streaming in fast for what promises to be a fun-filled and action packed day, so get your name on the list. Saturday will be a Club sponsored Betterball SF competition.

Gawanab wins Windhoek Open The NAGU Windhoek Open sponsored by Momentum was held last weekend at the Windhoek Golf and Country Club. Players in the A and B divisions played 54 holes over two days (36 on Saturday and 18 on Sunday), whereas the C division only played 36 holes over the two days. Only 43 players participated in total – 14 in the A division, 16 in the B division and 13 in the C division. Unfortunately, the very popular and well supported annual favourite Tsumeb Open was held on the same weekend, which influenced the participation numbers considerably. According to the NAGU representative, the responsibility of this clash

lies firmly on NAGU's shoulder and will be avoided in the future. The top results for the Momentum Windhoek Open were as follows: OVERALL Best gross (champion): 1 Stanley Gawanab (220), 2 Damien da Silva (221). Best nett: 1 Michael Durant (213), 2 Helmut Ndjendja (214). A DIVISION Best gross: 1 Gabriel Shikodi (229), 2 Kevin Wentzel (230). Best nett: 1 Chris Heunis (222), 2 Karl Swartz (223).

thanked the sponsor that came on board at the eleventh hour and all participants for their support, especially the ones that came from afar. “Thanks also goes out to Steve Basson for handling the starting, scoring and refereeing. Many thanks also to Gavin van Wyk having handled the draw and arranged all the prizes.” During his speech on Sunday the NAGU secretary, Mr Corneels Jafta, said: “We would like to thank the following Namibian golf team members for travelling to support the Wi n d h o e k O p e n : Kevin Wentzel, Grant Mather and the champion, Stanley Gawa-
