Marshallino Beukes “My seun en die ander slagoffers is in my oë Nasionale helde, want hulle het die hoogste prys betaal om die lewe van ‘n medemens te red.” Dit was die woorde van mnr Terence Ward, ‘n welbekende en geliefde paramedikus van Swakopmund, wie se seun een van die slagoffers van die noodlottige vliegongeluk, Sondagoggend naby Kaapstad was. Mnr Ward se seun, Alfred John Ward (23) was nes sy pa ‘n paramedikus en was by E-Med Rescue 24 werksaam. ‘n Nood-ambulansvlug met ‘n 80-jarige pasiënt, mnr Gabriël Roux, vanaf Oranjemund na Kaapstad het in ‘n ramp ontaard toe daar skynbaar probleme met die Kaapse radarstelsel ondervind is. Die vliegtuig-ambulans het in die Tygerberg-natuurreservaat naby Kaapstad neergestort en al vyf die

persone aan boord se lewens geëis. ‘n Baie sterk, dapper, maar sigbaar gebroke mnr Terence Ward het gister tydens ‘n eksklusiewe onderhoud met namib times gesels. Hy het dit baie duidelik gemaak dat, hoewel hulle nie weet wat presies die oorsaak van die tragedie was nie, hulle niemand verwyt of blameer nie. Mnr Ward het genoem dat hy en sy familie stomgeslaan en diep aangedaan

The Minister of Urban and Rural Development, Sophia Shaningwa, has warned that she is not a walkover that can be bribed, or rushed. She gave this stern warning in her keynote address at the annual General Meeting of the Namibia National Mayors' Forum (NNMF) at a local hotel in Walvis Bay yesterday morning. She has warned that land being allocated or sold through what she called “inconsiderate actions” will not be given her signature as the Minister of Urban and Rural Development. “My signature is not for sale, my signature is for fairness.” Shaningwa says everyone deserves to have their own plot and added the land should be allocated in such a way that one individual receives one plot. According to Shaningwa, the Mass Housing Project was a great idea of Former President Hifikepunye Pohamba. “We are therefore in the process of

overhauling the programme and realigning the misalignments, so that we can provide housing to the targeted groups, the low income and poor.” Shaningwa has reminded everyone about the resolutions that were agreed upon in the meeting that was held on 24 July between the Government of the Republic of Namibia, through the Chairmanship of President Hage Geingob and the Affirmative Repositioning Movement. “One of the agreed resolutions is to ascertain the delivery of 200 000 plots in our Republic. Walvis Bay

in the Erongo Region, Windhoek in the Khomas Region and Oshakati in the Oshana Region has been selected as pilot towns for the envisaged project.” She says, once the serviced plots are available, they will have a clear list of applicants from those who applied for land since 1990, to date, “so that we can start allocating on the first come first serve basis, one plot per person”. Shaningwa has noted with great concern that an increasing number of the members of the public are lodging complaints about irregularities and favouritism, regarding

the way some local authorities are allocating urban land. “Honourable members should desist from recommending many residential erven to one individual or entity. Similarly, larger portions of land should not be allocated to one person or entity. How the local authority wants to convince anyone within his or her right mind about those allocations, when they have a backlog of housing in Namibia in thousands and how an honourable member gets it right to get themselves into issues, thát raises eyebrows. Shaningwa says she has no prob-

CEO of E-med Rescue in Cape Town for Crash Investigation Maria Davel-Wallis

The CEO of Prosperity, that owns E-med Rescue 24, Bertus Struwig, left for Cape Town yesterday, to visit the scene of the air ambulance accident. When namib times spoke to him on Sunday evening he expressed his shock and deep sadness. He said it was the first time that they experienced a disaster of that nature in the history of E Med24 Namibia, and that they’ve had 8 years and more than 800 emergency flights without any accidents. “It is with great sadness we’ve heard of the passing away of two pilots, a paramedic, patient and his daughter in a crash involving an E-Med Rescue 24 aeromedical aircraft in the Tygerberg Nature Reserve near Cape Town, South Africa, this morning. He said E-med Rescue 24 had been in the process of evacuating the 80-yearold Mr le Roux on behalf of ER24 in South Africa, from Oranjemund in Namibia. Our aircraft departed Oranjemund Airport shortly after 4am Sunday morning and was expected to land at Cape Town International Airport in South Africa at 7am. Shortly before 7am contact was lost with the aircraft. Emergency services in Cape Town were activated to conduct a search for the missing aircraft. Emergency services personnel found the wreckage of the aircraft in the Tygerberg Nature Reserve with no survivors.

It is understood from the Airports Company of South Africa (ACSA) that all aircraft approaching Cape Town International Airport at the time were placed in a holding pattern due to a technical fault with their radars. The E-med Rescue 24 aircraft was also in the holding pattern at the time. We lost contact with the aircraft approximately seven miles outside of the airport.” He said the patient’s family was en route from Oranjemund via road to Mediclinic Panorama. ER24’s ambulance was waiting at the airport to collect the patient and his daughter to complete the last leg of the evacuation to Mediclinic Panorama, when the news of the crash broke. “Although there is a lot of speculation regarding the exact cause of the crash, we are aware that the South African Civil Aviation Authority are on scene and will conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.

ER24 made trauma counsellors available to the family and friends. Our condolences go out to the family and friends of our patient as well as crew on board.” Struwig said he would keep namib times informed of any developments. The names of the five people who were killed in the air ambulance crash in Cape Town Sunday morning were released the same day. They were West Air Wings pilots , 53-year-old Steven Naude and 23-yearold Amore Espach, both from Windhoek, the 23-year-old Alfred John Ward of E-Med Rescue 24 in Windhoek, and 80-yearold South African, Gabriel Petrus Le Roux, and his daugher, 49-year-old Charmaine Koortzen of Oranjemund. Meanwhile, South African media reports that the Air Traffic and Navigation Services SOC Limited, or the ATNS as it is known, has expressed concern over what it calls speculation over the radar

Kobi and Hana Alexander feed needy children Madelaine Laubscher Kobi and Hana Alexander Soup Kitchens in Windhoek and Walvis Bay feed 650 orphans and vulnerable children daily. The namib times paid a visit to the Kobi and Hana Alexander soup kitchen at the Immanuel Ruiters J.P School recently and was extremely impressed by the magnitude and importance of the project. Operations Manager of the Kobi and Hana Alexander soup kitchens, Mr Jimmy Jacobs, said they started with the feeding scheme in 2007 in Kuisebmund, Walvis Bay, when Kobi and Hana Alexander were busy with a low cost housing project in that area and saw the need for a soup kitchen there. “Currently Kobi and Hana Alexander operate two soup kitchens in Namibia, feeding a total of 650 vulnerable children every school day. To date, they have served over 600 000 good nutritious meals to vulnerable children,” he said. Kobi and Hana Alexan-

der opened the second soup kitchen in 2010 at the Nathaniel Maxuilili Centre in Katutura, Windhoek, where they feed 350 children every school day and employ four full-time workers and one manager. This is the largest soup kitchen in Namibia. In January 2012 they relocated the soup kitchen in Walvis Bay to the Immanuel Ruiters J.P School in Kuisebmond, where they feed 300 children every school day and employ two full-time workers and a supervisor, Loraine Kook, who volunteers her time to help the community. According to Jacobs, they have distributed thousands of Christmas goodie-bags to the communities around their soup kitchens for the past five years.

“As a Namibian I am so happy to be part of this project and that there are still people with the likes of Kobi and Hana Alexander in this world. We are getting positive feedback from the teachers here in Walvisbay as well as in Windhoek, that the children are happier and really doing well in school. The parents of those kids, the kids themselves and the communities at large are grateful for the Kobi and Hana Alexander soup kitchens. I really hope that more people in Namibia will start doing projects like this to help the needy throughout the country,” he concluded. This initiative serves as a platform to create awareness of feeding the hungry.

Techman in Hospital after Skydiving Accident Eddie Techman (pictured), well-known skydiving veteran of the Swakopmund Skydiving Club, is in the Cottage hospital after he had a skydiving accident just outside Swakopmund. Namib Times was at the scene of the accident, just after it had happened. Eddie is a beloved skydiver who has done ‘thousands’ of jumps. He was conscious and even cracking a joke or two, while he was being stabilised before the ambulance rushed off to hospital. At the skydiving club a big photo of the skydiving veteran in his 60s adornes the wall of the office – when we entered it appeared as if the malfunctioning parachute was being scrutinised, and Michael Louw said the Swakopmund Skydiving Club would issue an official statement. Later that evening it arrived, sent by Thys Potgieter. “Eddie Techman of Swakopmund was injured on 15 August 2015 during a parachuting incident. Mr Techman exited from a

light aircraft at 14:55, at an altitude of 12 000 feet above the ground and was seen to experience difficulty with his main parachute. Upon activating his reserve parachute, he experienced further difficulties and landed close to the B2 national road near the Martin Luther. He was then transported by the paramedics to a local hospital for further treatment and observation. Mr Techman has in the region of 11 500 previous jumps. The Swakopmund Skydiving Club has launched an official investigation into the matter.” When namib times arrived at the hospital earlier on Saturday, after our visit to the Skydivng Club, we were informed that he was

under observation and that they were awaiting his wife. Today we were informed that he was still in hospital, and that our details would be forwarded to him. We hope to meet with Techman later this week, to talk about his experience. See all the messages from our Facebook page on Page 8.

“My signature is not for sale” Continued from page 1 of charge but, we must make sure reasonability is applied. Let us share the land resource with each and every Namibian that needs land.” Shaningwa has further urged the local authorities to do away with middle men/women in land dealings. “We must therefore service the land ourselves. The sale of large portions of un-serviced land for less amount, only to be serviced by developers and sold for exorbitant prices should be discouraged.”

She has encouraged the local authorities to call for companies to express interests in land delivery and should dictate the process in a way they think is beneficial to the people. “We can no longer just agree as before, we must handle it on the principle of a win-win situation. Those that do not want to reason with us must give way to those that want to co-operate with us so our people can benefit.” Shaningwa has further urged the local authorities who are in the process with

the Private Public Proposals (PPP), to agree on affordable prices and forward such proposals to the line Ministry for approval, before the local authority commits itself to those agreements. “For me as a Minister and yourselves it is about a piece of land, developed and serviced, but still affordable to the end user. It is a National project and we are committed to its realisation step by step and I urge everyone to positively contribute towards it. “

Geingob urges SADC to reduce dependence on development aid GABORONE, 17 AUG - President Hage Geingob on Monday called on SADC member states and governments to reduce their dependency on development aid if the region wants to see sustained and broad-based economic development. In his maiden speech during the official opening of the 35th Southern African Development Community (SADC) Ordinary Summit in Gaborone, Botswana, he called on the member states to safe-guard the region's economic sovereignty by reducing dependency. This was the first speech Geingob made to the SADC Heads of State and Government since he was inaugurated as Namibian president in March this year. “No matter how meagre our financial resources may be, I believe that if we pull together in the spirit of Harambee (everyone pulling together), we will achieve our objective of an industrialised and prosperous region,” he said to thunderous applause from the audience. Geingob also called on the SADC governments to equally work hard to reduce their dependency on traditional sources of revenue and lending. “We must diversify our domestic revenue sources, and create well-capitalised local and regional financial institutions to fund our developmental agenda,” he said. The Namibian leader indicated that the discrepancies in income both across nations and within nations are on the increase. “The rich seem to be getting richer and the poor are getting poorer,” he said. “The region is not immune to this trend.” However, he indicated that for prosperity to be sustainable, it must be shared. “With the post-2015

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the African Union 2063 Development Agenda, and our own regional policies on development, the necessary frameworks are in place to take our region to greater heights,” Geingob stated. The Summit of the SADC Heads of State and Government started Monday and ends Tuesday. The theme of the 35th Summit is 'Accelerating Industrialisation of SADC Economies through Transformation of Natural Endowment and Improved Human Capital'. The summit is expected to deliberate on the just-revised SADC Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan (RISDP) 2015 to 2020, which has also mainstreamed the industrialisation agenda of the region. The RISDP outlines the region's priorities for member states and gives the prerequisite strategic direction to the SADC Secretariat for the coming years. The SADC leaders will also look at the implementation of the recentlylaunched COMESA-EAC-SADC Tripartite Trade Area (TFTA) in which the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and East African Community (EAC) united with SADC on a trade agreement. The summit witnessed Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe handing over of the SADC chairpersonship to President of Botswana Seretse Khama Ian Khama. NAMPA

Opening of the 6th Annual Spring School Sharlien Tjambari The Grade 12 learners from the different schools in the Erongo Region gathered at the opening ceremony of the Grade 12 spring school on 17 August. Swakopmund Secondary School hosts the Spring School. With the Spring School, tutors aims at strengthening the knowledge of learners and helping them improve their final results. This is the sixth annual Spring School in the Erongo Region and it is believed to be the reason behind the good results of Grade 12 learners in the Erongo Region. This year the Spring School is attended by more or less 500 learners from different schools in the Erongo Region. The Spring School will

focus mainly on Physical Science, Mathematics and Biology. This year's Spring School is sponsored by Swakop Uranium with the amount of N$100 000. “Remain focused, do what is always asked of you, have faith, set yourself goals, adhere to the rules and most importantly; you only have one life so

make the most of it,” were the lessons given to the learners by the Sustainability and Corporate Social Involvement Assistant Manager of the Swakop Uranium, Mrs Winnie Mukupuki. In her closing remarks, the Principal of the Walvis Bay Circuit under the Erongo Education Directorate Mrs /Gawises said, “if you

challenge yourself, you will grow, your life will change and your outlook will change.” Mrs /Gawises also said, “It is not always easy to reach your goals but that is no reason to stop.” The Spring School commenced on 17 August and will end on Friday, 21 August.

The Swakopmund Secondary School hall was packed with learners from all corners of the Erongo Region

Man apologises for social media advert, yet strikes again Madelaine Laubscher

A man who recently posted on social media that he offers his assistance to poison/kill dogs that become an annoyance to society, later stated it was a joke, after the Walvis Bay SPCA said they will not accept such behaviour and he subsequently apologised. According to this man his advert was meant as a joke and he expressed his regret towards the SPCA. “My status was meant as a joke. It is not that I hate animals. I am a dog owner myself. Sorry if I offended people in any way. Besides, it was a status and not an act carried out,” he told the SPCA. According to the SPCA spokesperson, after he apologised, he struck again by threatening to slaughter a woman’s dog.

The SPCA responded by saying they do not take such jokes lightly when it comes to animals. “We are here to protect and serve animal rights and we will do everything in our power to stop this from happening to our beloved four-legged friends. This ‘joke’ according to you, was taken very seriously due to the fact that you provided your services for free with contact numbers and poison.

You also did not post it only once, but twice on facebook. The problem with these ‘jokes’ are that you open a window for potential givers in taking advantage of this situation. It becomes a big issue and creates endless problems for societies like ours to protect these animals from any harm. We need you to post on your facebook wall that you were only joking and that you did not mean for it to be taken seriously so that everyone can see. We are glad to hear that you have a dog and you as owner should understand that you have to protect them at all costs against people who are cruel and who would act out on such ‘jokes’. We thank you for your mail and hope you understand our point of view regarding protecting these animals so that no harm will ever come to animals,” she replied. The first post read “anybody trying to get

rid of this evil in society, your neighbour’s dogs giving trouble, just call me at *** I can get rid of them free of charge. I poison them. Just let me know so I arrive there. I am specialised in killing them. Then I give them to the ...........,” it read. The second post read “anybody wishing to kill bullterriers, if your neighbour’s dog is stalking you, inbox me or text. I have got the poison to rid us of their evil. Will do it for free,” it read. The newspaper contacted the cellphone number that was provided on the advertisement to get a comment from this man. At first, the number was ringing but there was no answer. At the second and third attempt to speak to this man, a voice message said the number does not exist on MTC’s network. According to the SPCA spokesperson, she will take this matter further.

Obtaining Fishing

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?

Horse Mackerel Factory for Walvis Bay Leandrea Louw

General Manager of the Atlantic Pacific Fishing Factory, Mr Udo Burger confirmed that the new Atlantic Pacific Fishing, Horse Mackerel Factory is valued at N$250 million. The groundbreaking of the factory took place last week Friday in Walvis Bay and was officiated by Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Mr Bernhard Esau. The company was formed through a joint venture that is 51% owned by Namibian long-term Horse Mackerel rights holders, Hefdy Group of Companies, Joka Two Fishing and Namibia Seaweed Processing. The other 49% is owned by Brandberg Na-

NFCPT urges fishing fraternities to join hands Mavourlene !Gaës The Board Chairperson of the Namibia Fish Consumption Promotion Trust (NFCPT), Katrina Sikeni has highlighted the developments and achievements made by the Trust during the 4th annual National Fish Consumption day breakfast at a local hotel in Walvis Bay. Sikeni says the NFCPT is staying true to its mission of promoting the consumption of fish whilst at the same time enhancing accessibility. “NFCPT has over the past years, ensured that they bear witness to a larger footprint of their outlets. We at the NFCPT assisted households across the length and breadth of Namibia in making fish a part of their daily meals.” The NFCPT is awarded annual Horse Mackerel and Hake quotas from the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources, through which local entities are engaged to offer services that include but not limited to the catching of these quotas. “The NFCPT then supplies the local market at below market-related prizes due to subsidization, enabling all social classes to afford the normally ‘expensive’ food type.” According to Sikeni this year’s theme “Bringing the ocean to the north” is based upon the notion that the NFCPT would like to make fish tangibly accessible to the northern part of the country and in doing so,

mibia Investment Company which is held by China Fishery Group, a subsidiary of Pacific Andes International Holdings based in Hong Kong. Since it commenced operation in 2013, Atlantic Pacific Fishing has created over 120 Namibian jobs through its fishing and other ancillary operations. Once the new factory is completed, the company will create approximately 500 jobs including seagoing personnel.

ensure that all Namibians stand to gain from the nutrients of the sea waters. “Furthermore, this theme is centred around educating the Namibian populace on everything knowledgeable about our sea waters. The 4th annual National Fish Consumption Day 2015 will be held in the Omusati region on 12 September this year.” Sikeni says the National Fish Consumption Day initiative is not merely meant as a promotional tool for the NFCPT alone, but should rather be viewed as a collective industry stance in advancing the consumption of fishing produce and its by-products. “Therefore I would like to take this opportunity and urge the Namibian fishing fraternity to join hands with the NFCPT. The annual National Fish Consumption Day is hosted in different regions of our beautiful country; this is done in order for us to advocate the policy of ‘inclusivity’ as promoted by our Head of State, his Excellency Dr Hage G

Geingob. No Namibian must be left out. The NFCPT endeavours to roll-out fish consumption and its benefits to each and every citizen.” She says the annual National Fish Consumption Day will not complete without the NFCPT reaching out to the future leaders of tomorrow. “This is done to amongst other aspects sensitise the young populace as they are the future household managers about the value of fish and its preparation.” According to her, the NFCPT pursues to embed itself within the communities across all spectrums and with this in mind the Trust has an active Corporate Social Responsibility program that reaches out to the needy and vulnerable. “We annually donate blankets; prepare fish products as well as frozen fish. This is done to meet our government halfway and in so doing, we are ensuring that Namibians are not deprived of a quality lifestyle that enhances their livelihoods.” Sikeni has acknowledged the Min-

istry of Fisheries and Marine Resources as Principle Shareholder, and the fact that the NFCPT has grown in leaps and bounds from its inception. “The NFCPT has grown from merely four employees in 1994 towards 137 year-to-date, from having only serviced five regions since inception. We constantly endeavour to grow our capacity and in so doing, deliver service offerings that will meet our ever growing and demanding nation. We envisage embarking upon the construction of our fish shops in Omuthiya, Lüderitz and Ondangwa respectively.” Sikeni also acknowledges the contributions made by all role players within the fishing sector as well as those within the support services sector towards the fishing industry. “We are united in the pursuit of ensuring that the Namibian nation is a healthy nation that trusts fish and therefore consumes it, because of all our concerted efforts.”

Minister of Finance visits Walvis Bay Municipality Leandrea Louw The Minister of Finance Mr Calle Schlettwein and his delegation paid a visit to the Walvis Bay Municipality last week. The main objective of this visit was to engage with the Municipality about the pertinent matters relating to financing and confirm - in concrete terms - the starting points and the plans ahead for the servicing of the erven identified in Walvis Bay. This came after President Hage Geingob announced that there shall be a massive nationwide project earmarked towards servicing of 200 000 plots nationwide. The servicing of land will start in the three towns of Walvis Bay, Windhoek and Oshakati. A technical committee will also be established to work out all modalities regarding the Massive Urban Land Servicing Project and to implement this agreement made, an ad hoc committee at ministerial level had been established. The Chairperson

of this committee is Ms Sophia Shanigwa and the other members are Ministers Alpheus !Naruseb, Frans Kapofi, Calle Schlettwein, Tom Alweendo and Attorney General, Sakeus Shanghala. In his remarks, Minister of Finance, Mr Calle Schlettwin said that “the two main issues at hand are the issues of land availability and affordability. The bottom line of what we will be able to deliver in the shortest possible time depends on the financial wherewithal to finance the identified units, supported by the

voluntary support from civil society and the business community.” “Let me therefore seize this opportunity to indicate that the price dynamics in the real estate and housing sectors have not lent themselves to the affordability range for especially the low and middle-income earners. The price overshooting has outstripped wage improvements, rendering an average house rocketing out of affordability range of lowincome earners”. He also thanked those private entities who have already committed their

support to this project, but also called on others partner with Government in this endeavor. “When we cooperate and leverage our different strengths, it will greatly enhance our ability to deliver meaningful outcomes to Namibian citizens. However by supporting Government in whatever form, does not give you exclusive rights to this project. There is no room for exclusivity.” “The Government has already budgeted for up to N$971 million in the current budget for land servicing and improvement of sanitation infrastructure,

with similar but scaled up allocations over the MTEF. These allocated amounts underpin the Government's stern commitment in serviced land delivery, which should strengthen going forward”. He furthermore mentioned that allocation process of this erven still remains the responsibility of the local

authority. “The whole idea of these consultative meetings is to come up with solutions to make land available and affordable in a cost effective way and also use resources with maximum impact and minimum wastage.” “I thus urge the Walvis Bay Municipality and other local authorities to make

Cabin crew union hopes Samson solves Air Namibia The Namibian Cabin Crew Union (NCCU) has appealed to new acting Air Namibia Managing Director (MD), Ellaine Samson to first deal with the inequalities experienced by their members. NCCU President, Reginald Kock said in a media statement issued in Windhoek yesterday that “a happy worker is a productive worker,” and that is why they are reminding

Samson of the importance of dealing first with the inequalities experienced by Air Namibia employees. “We have tried to engage the Air Namibia manage-

ment team on various times to seek conclusion on certain matters but we either receive a negative response of not being available or no response at all,” said Kock. He explained that the NCCU members submitted their salary and working condition proposals in January 2015 and up to now, the two parties still have not held a serious dialogue on the matter. Kock added that on many occasions, union members flew out on duty without receiving subsistence and travel allowances as agreed. “We further call on the Board to initiate an investigation on various

irregularities that transpired during the tenure of Rene Gsponer,” he added. Gsponer was Air Namibia's acting managing director before Samson. Kock said the irregularities relate to employment and corporate management. The union thus urged the board to engage all employees to understand the level of irregularities that transpired and the harm it caused to the employer-employee relationship. He explained that for the past five years, they have

been asking the company to seriously look at the housing situation of its workers in Namibia and seek ways to assist employees to afford accommodation, but their suggestion was never considered. “We proposed that the company considers buying a piece of land and build an employee village on it. “Let's engage other companies and their representatives, municipalities and Government to seek a solution to the housing issue,” he said. The NCCU, however, welcomed the swift action of the airline's Board of

Directors to identify a company leader for the next 12 months. The union acknowledged Samson's willingness to try and assist the Air Namibia Board and employees in the hope of turning their fortunes around. Samson was elected as acting MD of Air Namibia last Wednesday. She will serve for 12 months while the board searches for a person to appoint permanently. Samson holds a Bachelor Juris degree, LLB honours, and Master of Law in International Air and Space Law, which she passed with distinction.

deliberate efforts to target resources to land servicing. Let me emphasise that this consultation is only the beginning. It is my intention that we continue the consultative process and close collaboration in the months and years to come,” he concluded the session. She has a Master of Business Administration and is completing her Doctorate in Philosophy in Air Transport at Leiden University, Netherlands. Samson worked as General Manager for Corporate and Legal Services at the Namibia Airports Company and served as chairperson of the Board o f Tr u s t e e s a t t h e Government Institutions' Pension Fund (GIPF), and more recently served as a consultant to the African Union tasked with drafting regulations of competition for air transport in Africa, and arbitration procedures.

Eddie Techman Skydiving OFAC Listed Countries - Namibia is on the List Accident... Letter from a concerned reader The Swakopmund Skydiving Club has just sent us this official statement on the Eddie Techman accident... "Eddie Techman of Swakopmund was injured on 15 August 2015 during a parachuting incident. Mr. Techman exited from a light aircraft at 14:55, at an altitude of 12 000 feet above the ground and was seen to experience difficulty with his main parachute. Upon activating his reserve parachute, he experienced further difficulties and landed close to the B2 national road near the Martin Luther.

I am a long time resident of Walvis Bay and I have operated as a Marine Surveyor at the port of Walvis Bay for the last 25 years. My marine surveying company is Namibian Maritime Services C.C. Part of the professional services I carry out in the marine world is the representation of overseas companies, as their Walvis Bay based marine surveyor. When a ship comes into port that requires a necessary survey that is due or overdue on the ship, I am authorised by the parent company that I represent overseas, to carry out the survey of the vessel and to issue the appropriate certificates to that vessel, upon a satisfactory completion of the survey, which allows the ship to continue trading. The vessels that I survey are all vessels with foreign flags, other to that of the flag of Namibia. For these services I invoice the company that I represent overseas, as agreed upon beforehand or as per contract and I get paid for the professional services rendered. Well, that was how it worked in the past. Very recently I was contacted by a company from Panama, that I represent here in Walvis Bay, who advised me that they are unable to remit funds to me, for the services ren-

dered at the Port of Walvis Bay, as the country of Namibia is listed on the American government OFAC blacklist. The OFAC is part of the US government treasury department and OFAC stands for “office of foreign assets control.” This has bought home very quickly the fact that Namibia is now been rated as been in the same pot as other blacklisted countries involved in drug smuggling, arms smuggling, money laundering and a host of other illegal activities. Having done some research on the subject this weekend, I have come to understand that Namibia has been on this OFAC blacklist for a number of years. The OFAC and high level of the Namibian government has apparently committed to correct the findings of the OFAC audit, but the latest information I can find on the subject dates to 2013. Please see the website “http:// www.sanctionswiki.org/ US_Embargoed_Countries.” This non-compliance of Namibia to the require-

ment of the OFAC is starting to affect my business. If I don’t receive payment for services rendered, then I may as well shut my business down and go and sit on the beach. At least I will receive a sun tan, which is more than what I’m receiving for doing a honest day’s work. We all need to receive remuneration for our daily toil, because we all have to pay for everything that we have in our lives, let alone our taxes. This non-compliance of the OFAC rules of Namibia must be affecting other businesses here in Namibia as well. I am just one business. I ask you to please contact the minister of Finance at the Namibian government Ministry of Finance to enquire from them the latest efforts that have been put into place to make Namibia an OFAC compliant country and when it will be implemented or effected. This can affect the whole country’s economy. You will be surprised to see how many countries are on the OFAC blacklist. Best regards, Geoffrey Owen

Onvergeetlike matriekjaar-oomblikke

Pro-Ed Matrieks ontvang hulle Matriekafskeid-uitnodigings Woensdag was ‘n baie, baie spesiale dag vir die matrieks van die Pro-Ed Akademie op Swakopmund - hulle het op ‘n onvergeetlike geleentheid by die skool hulle matriekafskeid-uitnodigings ontvang. Almal het saamgewerk om die dag ‘n voltreffer te maak....die Graad 11s het die uitnodigings en die sjampanje uitgedeel, terwyl die Graad 8s ‘n erewag gevorm het en ballonne en koekies aan die matrieks oorhandig het. Van die ouers het ook opgedaag om getuie te wees van die mooi dag....

Die namib times was uitgenooi, om te deel in die spesiale geleentheid... Die Graad 12s was duidelik diep geraak, en sal beslis die dag nog lank in hulle harte bewaar. En ja, namib times hét gevra oor die vonkel in die glase... dis alkoholvry! Die matrieks begin nou

gereedmaak vir die eindeksamen, maar hulle sal nog terugkeer vir klas, voordat hulle rekenskap sal gee – hopelik vir oulaas! Op 9 Oktober sal hulle dié uitnodigings toon, om toegelaat te word tot, wat sekerlik een van die grootste aande in hulle lewens sal wees.

Elke matriek het alleen deur die erewag beweeg...

Die onderwysers het toegekyk

Students from different schools in Windhoek, Otjiwarongo, Swakopmund and Walvis Bay attended this 4-day camp. It was the first time that the event was held in Walvis Bay. The highlight for the campers was their day of fun, Saturday at the Yacht club. Rotary president for Walvis Bay, Buddy Glover, said this camp is a challenge to the students to see who are the best leaders amongst them. “During this camp the students will also select their new leaders for next year. The students really enjoyed the desert walk, and it was a happy experience when they climbed the dunes and found the campsite, “Lauberville,” where the camp was held.” The camp started on Thursday with a desert tour presented by Peter Bridgeford. They also learnt more about water conservation methods. On Saturday, Pointbreak discussed money matters (e-wallet), cash management and many other interesting financial matters with the campers.

The aim of the camp was for students to have fun while carrying out service projects and learning about the world. Students from different schools in Windhoek, Otjiwarongo, Swakopmund and Walvis Bay attended. Vera Leech is a Trustee and Board Member of Mondesa Youth Opportunities Trust, a profound teacher of Swakopmund and previous president for the Rotary Club Swakopmund. She has told namib times that they have been lucky that the coastal town was chosen as the host for this year’s camp. “I believe in developing our community, especially the youth and through this camp we can create the best leadership skills in the students”

Die 19e-putjie-op-wiele

By die SFC het die rugbyen sokkervelde vandag verander in ‘n gholfbaan, en het oud en jonk die sportdag geniet. Daar was selfs sandbanke en ‘n water-hindernis... en ‘n 19e-putjie-opwiele! Hier is ‘n handvol foto’s van die dag... meer oor dié pretdag in Vrydag se uitgawe.

Belofte van ‘n vuurtjie en ‘n vleisie om die vreugde voller te maak!

Good fun, lots of golf, great prizes and a halfway house as usual. The format was a three ball alliance and results are: M Swarts, G Cloete, and F Jordaan (51 pts on a

c/o), over by S Bonafatius, S Ndalumbumo and H Ndjendja. (51) The winning three ball delighted with Marco Swarts’ Hole in One (on 16) and the huge crowd of 12 teams

shared his hospitality with glee! Congratulations Marco. Sunday was the monthly SAGES and the following came out on top: W Borg (38 pts), second; A Abrams

(31 pts) over B Saunderson on a c/o for third place. U Bachmann had the nearest the pin and a two club on 12. Thank you Silvio Suardi for our ongoing support as the Sponsor. New budding junior golfers are invited to join the Junior Coaching session: once per week, a fee of N$200 per month, no transport provided and up front payment. Interested?

Then phone the Club (405 644) or Jacque on 081 148 6242 to get the details. If you need any help with your game, our own Marlin Swarts will be at Rossmund, available for coaching, from 21 – 28 August. He has been persuing his career at the North Link College in Cape Town, and as an apprentice to Paul McKenzie at the Tyger Valley Driving Range, and Club Pro at de Zarza, Stel-

Die ‘Cube’ in Puik toestand vir Swemmers Die Cube swembad wat reg langs Swakopmund se Dome geleë is, is tans in 'n uitstekende toestand. Die water is blouhelder en die toilette binne is opgeknap. Dit is oop vir die publiek teen die volgende kostes: N$20 vir kinders 18 jaar en jonger N$30 vir persone oor 18 jaar. Dit is die tuiste van die Swakopmund Swemklub wat daagliks tussen 15:00 en 17:00 oefen. Die swembad behoort aan die Epic Holding (PTY) Ltd groep. Ja, die swembadwater was groen aan die begin van die jaar en ja, die water WAS koud. ‘n Permanente opsigter is aangestel en die pro-

bleme is dadelik aangespreek. Al die swembadpompe is herstel, die filtersand is vervang en die verhitters is gediens. Die waterverwarmer werk vanaf ‘n diesel-kragopwekker en die kostes is baie hoog. Die watertemperatuur is tans 24 grade Celsius. Die water word weekliks getoets en die pH lesings geneem. Die waaiers wat die warm lug uitsuig, help om die temperatuur binne in die gebou te reguleer.

Old Mutual het vroeer in die jaar die wegspringblokke, die baan-verdelingstoue en die elektroniese stophorlosies geborg. Old Mutual is nóu betrokke by swem in die algemeen in Namibië. Die Namibiese Swemunie het ingestem om die Nasionale Kortbad-kampioenskappe van 24 tot 27 September op Swakopmund aan te bied.

Zimbabwe Thrashed Welwitschias well prepared for World Cup The mood in the Welwitschia’s camp is positive and the team is looking forward to flying to Durban for their World Cup training camp with the Springboks. Speaking to the media after Saturday’s Africa Cup game against Zimbabwe,

Namibia’s captain on the day, Rohan Kitshoff said the team worked hard on set pieces and their hard work showed on the field of play. They thrashed Zimbabwe 80-6 at the Hage Geingob Stadium to be crowned Africa Cup Division 1A

champions. “This was really good preparation for the World Cup. Zimbabwe was really tough in the first half, but we managed to control and dominate the game in the second half as we showed character and willingness to fight for each other,” he

said. This year’s championships marked the 15th edition of the Africa Cup, an annual International Rugby Union tournament for African nations organised by Rugby Africa. Namibia has now won the cup five times.

On Saturday, Zimbabwe opened the scoring in the 15th minute of the game with a penalty by Tichafara Makwanya, but Namibia replied in the 23rd minute with the first try of the game by Rohan Kitshoff. Namibia’s Renaldo Both-
