Retrenchments at inside New Walvis Bay Salt Walvis Bay Salt Holdings confirmed this week the intended restructuring of certain its business units. This restructuring may result in retrenchment of a number of staff at its hopper feed function, bagging plant and loading operations in the port of Walvis Bay. Approximately 25 employees may be affected.

“It is not easy to make decisions where people's livelihoods are affected. However, the reality is businesses everywhere are looking at increased efficiencies to stay afloat and competitive during the challenging global business environment. Walvis Bay Salt is no exception and the company must remain agile by constantly looking at efficiencies” explained the managing director of Walvis Bay Salt, Andre Snyman.

Snyman emphasised that “although the broader company is not in financial distress, certain Continues on page 2

Swakopmund has become the only town after the City of Windhoek to own and operate its own ambulances. That is thanks to the initiatives of the Rotary Club of Swakopmund and the Kawasaki North Rotary Club Japan.

A delegation of the Japanese Embassy in Windhoek was in Swakopmund last week to hand over the keys of the two emergency vehicles to the local authority, thereby concluding this noble project that was executed over the time span of several years.

During the handover of the ambulances, Harada Hideaki, the Ambassador of Japan to Namibia said the initiative by these two Rotary Clubs also strengthen the already strong bond between Namibia and Japan.

release the mortal remains of du Toit to people who volunteered to give him a proper funeral. The Police says it needs more time to locate the deceased’s next-of-kin. In fact, the Police yesterday called upon Walvis Bay residents to come forward, should they know of possible family members of du Toit that can be traced.

Several Walvis Bay residents indicated this week they will take responsibility for the cost and arrangements of du Toit’s funeral.

Although du Toit received a monthly pension, and has two funeral policies, the situation is difficult as there are no relatives that could apply for the funeral policies to pay out.

Du Toit was described this week as a quiet man who went about his own business. He lived in a small room on the premises of a couple who took care of him.

The couple said this week they were the only people with whom du Toit had contact and that they can be regarded as his “only family”.

They don’t however, know whether du Toit’s funeral policies would pay out, and don’t want him to end up in an unmarked grave if Government is going to bury him.

These relate specifically to operational inefficiencies, and business units that were not performing to required standard. Management has an obligation to care for the long-term wellbeing of the business - this is in the interest of all stakeholders, including employees and shareholders. The markets we operate in are volatile by nature and these challenges led to the decision to adapt operations to these changing conditions.”

Walvis Bay Salt mentioned the company will do its utmost best to lessen the impact on the affected employees. “But it will require genuine and meaningful engagement from both management and the employees representatives to bring the process to a amicable conclusion”, concluded Snyman.

Japanese Diplomacy (SPJD) in Tokyo, we were able to partner not only with Kawasaki City but also with the Daito Shijonawate Firefighting Association in Osaka.

These partnerships ensured two ambulances could be refurbished and donated to Swakopmund, further explained the ambassador.

Although the ambulances are still in an exceptionally good condition, the vehicles approached the end of their service lifespan in Japan. The vehicles were subsequently acquired and refurbished and shipped to Namibia. The combined worth of the ambulances is estimated at N$250 000.

The Mayor of Swakopmund, Cllr. Louisa Kativa, in accepting the donation said the safety and wellbeing of the Swakopmund residents are top priority.

“I am convinced that your donation will add value to the work of the emergency division of Council and improve our capacity to respond to emergencies”, concluded Kativa.

The Governor of Erongo, Neville Andre, also attended the handover ceremony and hailed the improvement to access to health care this donation brings about.

Community structures, police reservists and police to strengthen working relationship Sharlien Tjambari

The Swakopmund Community Structures, Police Reservists and the Police gathered on Tuesday this week to discuss matters pertaining to crime, crime statistics and how to strengthen their working relationship and communication to successfully fight crime and protect the community.

Addressing the community structures, the incoming Swakopmund Police Station Commander, Inspector Ruben Shapumba said community structure, the police reservists and the police need to work together. Shapumba further said: “We are not in competition; our aim is to serve our community and make sure that we protect them and protect the properties”.

During the meeting, Detective Inspector Rosa Tjihavero shared recent crime statistics and said one of the major concerns is housebreaking at residence and business areas. There were 15 housebreaking cases recorded in June, 11 in July and 5 in August. Tjihavero said: “We realised that we have more housebreaking at business premises in July and from the 11, 4 arrests were made”.

ATM, Internet and E-wallet fraud is also a concern in Swakopmund. In June the police recorded five cases of fraud, nine in July and 6 in August.

Tjihavero described the latest N$300 000 cash in transit robbery involving the G4S security as the most critical crime that Swakopmund have ever seen during this past three years that she has been in charge at the Crime Investigating Department (CID). “Our town has become a target; armed robberies are taking place every day. This problem of cash in transit is happening everywhere in Namibia, meaning it is our duty to stand up and prepare ourselves”, Tjihavero stressed.

Mayor Forbes pays visit to sewer line project.....

Council recently appointed CSV Production Namibia for the upgrading of sewer lines in Pelican Road, Narraville. The contractor has started with upsizing components of the sewer pipes the use of conventional or the open trench method.

Residents of Walvis Bay will soon see brightly coloured concrete rubbish bins being installed across town. Workers of the municipality is seen here in Sam Nujoma Avenue offloading one of the bins.

Once offloaded, the bins will receive a concrete floor inside. These concrete bins are replacing the traditional plastic bins mounted on metal poles. These type of bins are not durable.

The concrete bins will have a long lifespan and save the local authority money.

Heavy earthmoving equipment, such as excavators, loaders, and Tractor-Loader-Backhoe are presently on-site. The project concludes in April 2022.

Walvis Bay Mayor, Trevino Forbes went for a site visit on Sunday, to assess the progress. Forbes said even though the residents living in the area might be disturbed by the noise created by the work activities, and the occasional foul smell, the brief discomforts will outweigh the advantages in the long run.

“I would really like to humbly appeal to the residents to please bear with us whilst our contractor

does his job in an effort to enhance sewage float in the long run, it is simply one of the approaches to enhance the dwelling situations of our residents,” the mayor stated.

John Esterhuizen, General Supervisor for Water, Waste and Environmental management said the mission is to enhance sewer float inside the pipes.

He stated the project will be carried out in phases.

It consists of the replacement of the present sewer traces as well as manholes. Some 600m will be replaced. The following streets will be affected: Pelican Avenue; Attie Carollisen Street; Koedoe Street; Harry Van Reenen Avenue; Kruis Street and Schmidt Street.

Commercial explosives produced at Walvis Bay Floris Steenkamp

Namibia has taken yet another step forward towards self-reliance with the commissioning recently of an Ammonium Nitrate Emulsion Plant at Walvis Bay. The plant produces commercial explosives from ammonium nitrate, also known as ammonium nitrate emulsion.

The mining- and construction industries are the biggest consumers of ammonium nitrate emulsion for blasting purposes. The plant in Namibia aims to serve the market with an average of 16 000 tons of ammonium nitrate emulsion.

An Australian multinational corporation, Orica Limited, teamed up with the Namibian-based dangerous goods storage service provider, Native Storage, to construct and commission the plant. The plant is situated on the pre-

mises of Native Storage, some 25km east of Walvis Bay, and Orica imports ammonium nitrate through the port of Walvis Bay as the base material for ammonium nitrate emulsion.

Orica Limited is Australian based, and has offices in more than 100 countries, and approximately 16 000 employees. The Africa head-quarters are in Rosebank, Johannesburg with a site office in Namibia's Swakopmund.

An inauguration ceremony took place at the plant last Friday, with the Inspector-General

of the Namibian Police, lt.-General Sebastian Ndeitunga, as the guest of honour on behalf of the Minister of Safety and Security, Dr Albert Kawana.

Other guests included the Mayor of Walvis Bay Cllr Trevino Forbes, accompanied by four more mayors including the mayor of the City of Windhoek, Cllr Job Amupanda.

In the keynote address on behalf of Dr Kawana, General Ndeitunga hailed the plant as an important step forward for industrialisation and self-reliance on locally manufactured products. He urged Namibian companies to follow the example of Orica Limited and Native Storage to form ventures with international companies to manufacture and add benefit to raw materials locally.

“Let us take marble as an example. It is mined in Namibia, yet it is exported in whole form and value added in a foreign country.

We stand at the port and salute or wave off our raw materials, with no local jobs or technical capacity created through local manu-facturing”, the General explained.

General Ndeitunga also assured the Namibian public that the Namibia regulations were followed to the last letter for Orica and Native Storage to satisfy all legal and safety requirements before the plant could be constructed and commissioned.

In his address, the Business Support Officer of Orica in Namibia, Mr Zak Venter, said the plant is a major achievement for Nami-

The plant where the ammonium nitrate emulsion is manufactured. It is situated at Native Storage some 25km from Walvis Bay, at the required safety distance from any installations bia. Consumers of commercial explosives no more have to rely on the importation and stockpiling of the product, whilst the product produced by Orica locally is efficient and more cost effective when compared toto the use of packaged explosives.

Time and money are saved and the bar is raised for safety.

Clients can optimise on working capital when purchasing for commercial explosives any more, often sitting in inventories for extended periods, there are shorter delivery periods and mines can

operate cost efficiently if the need falls away to store large volumes of explosives or base materials onsite.

The mining industry, construction industry, earthmoving and other sectors require ammonium nitrate for blasting work. Many has ammonium nitrate emulsion plants onsite, but Orica's readily availability of commercial explosives can change this scenario for the better.

“The possibility of security of supply means customers no longer need to import product with trucks at significant cost to

stockpile onsite”, Venter.

In addition, any quantity can be delivered.

“No client is too small or too big for us”, concluded Venter.

Ammonium nitrate emulsion requires ammonium nitrate first saturated with water and then suspended in oil. From a safety perspective, said Venter, ammonium nitrate emulsion is a nonflammable, viscous liquid.

It is safe to transport and store, and requires very specific preparations and conditions of pressure and temperature to become an explosive substance.

NaTIS suspended new learner licence bookings Roads Authority (RA) announced the temporary suspension of new bookings for learner licence testing at its Walvis Bay NaTIS Centre.

The suspension will be from 29 September to 8 October to allow the centre to attend to the current backlog of Learner Licence Testing and is only applicable to the Walvis Bay NaTIS Centre.

The Manager for Corporate Communication at RA Hileni Fillemon has advised applicants, who have submitted bookings (via the drop box) for learner licence testing before the suspension period, would receive their testing timeslots via the RA SMS Line 2000.

Fillemon said “The centre will also continue conducting learner licence testing sessions with applicants who have prior confirmed bookings in the above mentioned period.”

Goju-Kai Namibia Hosts Senior Karate Grading Goju-kai Namibia recently hosted a senior grading for black belt levels.

The bigger part of this group, planned to participate in a grading event as part of a cultural exchange in Tokyo, Japan in May 2020. With the COVID-19 impact on travel restrictions – this event was first postponed, and later cancelled, resulting in great disappointment for karate students with grading dreams.

Namibia Goju-kai has a long history with Japan with its Founder and President, Renshi Shihan Trevor Norval (6th Dan black belt) training under the founder of the style during his earlier years in karate.

The style of Goju Kai was introduced to Namibia when Trevor Norval returned to Namibia in 1990. Since those humble beginnings, dojos have been established in Windhoek, Swakopmund and Walvis Bay offering traditional karate teachings as well as sport karate. Goju Kai Namibia with the dedication of its senior instructors has since produced some highly qualified karate-ka who have proved themselves in the local and international karate arena. The current Chief Instructor of Gojukai, Leonard Martin, has also a long history of success in the style and on the competition floor.

Goju-Kai Namibia offers tuition to all ages at their dojos in Walvis Bay, Windhoek, Otjiwarongo and Swakopmund.
