Jandre Dippenaar is nie meer in die hoësorg-eenheid van die Rooms Katolieke Hospitaal in Windhoek nie. Sy pa, die motorsport-veteraan, Dippies Dippenaar, het aan namib times gesê Jandre is geskeduleer vir ‘n operasie aan sy linkerhak, vandag. Ons het gister met hom oor sy seun se toestand gepraat. Die koerant het aanvanklik met Jandre self gepraat, wat bevestig het dat hy na ‘n gewone saal oorgeplaas is, en dat hy beter voel. Hy het ons daarna na sy pa toe verwys. Mnr Dippenaar het gesê Jandre maak stadig maar seker vordering, maar dat die pad na herstel baie lank en moeilik gaan wees. Hy het bevestig dat Jandre nou self asemhaal, hoewel nie heeltemaal gemaklik nie, nadat hy twee weke lank in die hoësorg-eenheid aan ‘n asemhalingstoestel gekoppel was.
Mnr Dippenaar senior het ook gesê dat gerugte, dat sy seun verlam sou wees, van alle waarheid ontbloot is. Hy kan egter nog glad nie self rondbeweeg nie, en is afhanklik van hulp. Mnr Dippenaar het ook aan namib times bevestig dat Jandre berading ontvang. Hy het voorts genoem dat die gerugte en gissinge wat in die dae ná die noodlottige ongeluk, waarin ses mense omgekom het, rondgevlieg het, het hulle diep gekwes. Hy wou nie kommentaar lewer oor die polisieondersoek wat op die
oomblik aan die gang is nie. Daar is van ‘n hoogs betroubare bron bevestiging ontvang dat twee deskundiges van Suid Afrika die ongelukstoneel besoek het om ‘n verslag vir een van die twee voertuie wat in die ongeluk betrokke was, se versekeraar saam te stel. Hierdie verslag sal heel moontlik deel van die polisie se ondersoek uitmaak. Die gru-ongeluk, ‘n paar kilometer buite Hentiesbaai, het gedurende Desember plaasgevind en drie Duitse toeriste en ook drie Namibiërs is

noodlottig beseer. Twee mense, Dippenaar en ‘n Duitse toeris, het die ongeluk oorleef. Nadat die polisieonder-
soek afgehandel is, sal ‘n verslag aan die kantoor van die ProkureurGeneraal verskaf word, waarna die PG sal be-
sluit of ‘n klag van heel moontlik manslag teen enigiemand aanhangig gemaak gaan word, al dan nie.

TransNamib has expressed unhappiness with the Namibia Transport and Allied Workers’ Union (Natau) for saying it had not been informed of the company’s retrenchment process from the initial stage. In a statement issued to Nampa, TransNamib’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer Ailly Hangula-Paulino said the TransNamib management and Natau shop stewards had convened a consultative meeting on 18 December, when the company’s rightsizing process as part of the parastatal’s turnaround plan was explained to all parties. “We were shocked to learn through the media that Natau called for the intervention of President Hifikepu-
nye Pohamba by stopping the rightsizing process of TransNamib, which was a consultative process between TransNamib and Natau right from the onset,” she said. Hangula-Paulino explained that the parastatal had rolled out extensive stakeholder engagement initiatives informing all relevant partners about the detail and dynamics of the rightsizing exercise. She said that early December 2014, TransNamib received an unsolicited
proposal from Zealot, Natau’s business arm, on possible strategies to mitigate the rightsizing strategy of TransNamib. Hangula-Paulino explained that the TransNamib management regarded this innovation by Natau in a positive light and in good faith resolving to support the initiative as proposed by Zealot. She said TransNamib had issued the notification of retrenchment to the Labour Commissioner on 16 December 2014 and other

It is commitment and diligence, which open doors to success,” she concluded. After a scripture reading and prayer, inspector Ernest Olivier conveyed an encouraging message to the learners present. Mr Simon Solomons (LHU Managing Director) pledged Langer Heinrich’s continued support to the programme and noted that this was only a small step towards success in the graduate’s careers. He wished them the best of luck with their feature endeavours. Mr Olivier acknowledged the input and sacrifices of the teachers involved in the programme, noting that

Traffic report: Festive season 2014-15 The MVA fund released recorded information collected over the festive season regarding traffic on the roads on Monday. The festive season commenced on the 22 November 2014 until the 15 January 2015. With this the Festive Season Road Safety Campaign kicked off on the theme “Your destination, a reward for safe driving. Pledge to arrive alive,” launched by the Namibian Police Force (Nampol), Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Fund and National Road Safety Council (NRSC). The Traffic Law Enforcement Division, Air Wing Directorate, National Road Safety Council, MVA Fund, Roads Authority and Private Road Safety Forum worked close together. A number of 8 members per region were rotated amongst concerned regions to work in shifts of eight hours to cover for a twenty four hour attendance at the roadblocks. Head of Traffic Law Enforcement Division visited roadblocks on the roads to the North and West to monitor traffic flow on critical dates and observe any
irregularities. A debriefing report regarding the festive season’s traffic states the following: “The roads leading to the North and West of the country was extremely busy and special attention was given to the following regions: Khomas, Karas, Erongo, Otjozondjupa, Oshikoto, Oshana, Kavango-East and Kavango-West Regions. The campaign recorded a reduction in fatalities while injuries and the number of crashes increased in comparison to the previous year.
A significant reduction of 16% in fatalities was recorded by the MVA Fund Call Centre, with regrettably 97 people losing lives in road crashes during the campaign period in comparison to the previous year which recorded 115 fatalities. The male-to-female ratio for fatalities as a result of road crashes is that 68 men (representing 70% of total fatalities) lost their lives in road crashes during the festive season while 29 women (30%) perished. Constituting 41% of total fatalities, an increasingly high num-
ber of people between the ages of 16 and 35 died, while 15% of children in the 1 to 15 age group fell victim to road crashes. Most fatalities were recorded in Erongo (18%), Oshikoto (12%), Kavango (11%), Omusati (10%) and Oshana (10%). The number of injured persons increased by 19%, i.e. 1261 vs 1056 in the previous year. Usually 30% are seriously injured, thereby resulting in high hospital and medical costs, as the Fund incurs on average N$14 million per month on hospital expenses.
Most of the 614 crashes which occurred during the festive season, were caused by roll-overs (226; 37%), collisions (169; 32%) and pedestrians (134; 22%) and are mostly attributed to poor driving skills, irresponsible overtaking and night driving. Thirty three (33) percent of these crashes occurred in the Khomas region, 13% in Oshana, 13% in Erongo, 10% in Otjozondjupa and 7% in Oshikoto. Improved collaboration between the campaign partners, namely MVA Fund, NRSC,
Nampol, RA, Namibian Defense Force, ministries of Works and Transport and Health and Social Services as well as various municipalities, ensured consistent law enforcement visibility, enhanced public awareness interventions, increased visibility of emergency response units which reduced response time to the scene of the crash, increased highway patrols, and the introduction of rest points between roadblocks which aimed to reduce the risk of driver fatigue.”

NAMAs - “looking good for Swakop’’ Sharlien Tjambari The first and second of May this year will be that time of the year again when artists/musicians will hit the road to the final destination of the NAMAS 2015, which still need to be announced. During last week's media release, Mr John Ekongo of MTC on behalf of the NAMA organising committee, said Namibia’s largest musical awards was proud to announce that a 100% increase in the lucrative prize for the best male and female artist of the year was confirmed for the coveted prize of best male and female artist of the year who are set to walk away with N$100 000 each, whilst a 50% increase remains for the organisers to do the list for the other category prizes. According to the Executive Chairman of the NAMAs, the NAMAs has recorded a whopping total of 835 entries compared to last year's
564 entries. A source close to namib times said that there is a possibility that the NAMAs 2015 will be hosted in Swakopmund at the Swakopmund Indoor Sports Centre. When we spoke to the Mayor of Swakopmund, Juuso Kambweshe, he said he could not confirm if Swakopmund will be hosting the NAMAs or not. The only thing he could confirm was that he indeed had a meeting with the organising committee of the NAMAs 2015 and had a discussion with them. “But I can say that things look good for Swakopmund” added Mr Kambweshe.

Namibia in dire need of blood Madelaine Laubscher A campaign is underway countrywide for Namibians to donate blood at various donating stations, calling on all donors to pay a visit to all donating stations since Namibia entered the new year with a blood shortage.
A local resident donating blood at a donating station
The Donor Relations Supervisor at NamBTS, Ms Zita Tobin, spoke to the namib times and said “currently there is only a three day blood supply available countrywide. Unfortunately, this happens every year even though every effort was made to prevent this from happening at the end of 2014. The 'Donate before You Go' campaign was launched as a joint effort between NamBTS, the World Health Organisation (WHO), the United Nations (UN) and the Ministry of Health and Social Services to encourage Namibians to donate 5 200 units before Christmas to ensure a sustainable blood supply for the Festive and New Year Seasons. By Christmas, the target was 1100 units short of the 5 200 mark, which most likely led to the current shortage,” she said. According to her the
blood shortages are often not caused by an increased demand for blood, but rather due to below target blood collections. “This usually happens during extended holiday periods when donors are not readily available to give blood. Blood products are used in many cases, not just for trauma and emergency patients in need of blood after a motor vehicle accident. Mothers facing complications during pregnancy and birth, premature infants, burn victims, cancer patients, those awaiting an organ transplant, surgery patients and others with blood conditions all require blood products throughout the year, including holiday periods.” Those interested in alleviating the blood shortage through donation should be older than 16 years,
weigh more than 50kg, lead a sexually safe lifestyle and enjoy general good health. “Please consider donating blood in Windhoek, Swakopmund or Walvis Bay at one of NamBTS's conveniently located permanent donation centres. NamBTS will pay a visit to schools as well. We need all types of blood especially O+. We cannot manage without our dedicated donors. Our contact number that willing donors can dial is 061 386300 or 064 400870 in order to find out where our stations will be set up. We are also open every Tuesday in Walvis Bay from 13:00 to 18:00 at the NamBTS offices and every Monday in Swakopmund during the same time period. Donors are requested to eat a meal before donating.”

Woman sentenced on drug charges Mavourlene Gaes
After being arrested last year on a charge of dealing in cocaine and the requisite alternative count of dealing in a dangerous dependence producing substance, Elizabeth Bongiwe Hajisi returned to the Walvis Bay Magistrate’s court last week, where she was sentenced to 24 months in prison on the first count and another 12 months for dealing in these substances. The sentences will run consecutively.
Court
In July last year, the police received a tip-off on Hajisi’s illegal dealings in Kuisebmond's Seapoint area. When they went there to investigate, they found 27 pieces of cocaine, six full mandrax tablets and three halves (methaqualone) valued at N$4 000 in her bedroom which led to her arrest. The state built a case against her and made their case concrete when the very same person she paid to distribute the drugs, turned state witness and testified against her leading to her sentencing. Hajisi appeared in front on Magistrate Vicky Nicolaidis who explained that because the serious
nature of the offence cannot be overemphasised, as its effects are far-reaching with often horrific consequences. “The court is often told that housebreakings and theft are perpetrated by accused persons for the sole purpose of fueling a drug habit. It cannot be denied that families are most severely affected and the only people who benefit are those who deal in drugs,” Nicolaidis added. Having taken into account the personal circumstances of Hajisi on the one hand and the seriousness and prevalence of the offence, she was found guilty and was put behind bars for 36 months.
“Juweliersware-kopers” skep broeigrond vir misdaad Marshallino Beukes
‘n Hoogs ontstelde inwoner van Walvisbaai het gister die koerant telefonies gekontak en sy ongelukkigheid uitgespreek rakende juwele-kopers wat nie identiteitsdokumente en/of bewys van eienaarskap van verkopers vereis nie.
Walvis Bay Court Report 19 January 2015
Gabriel Jacobus (43) appeared on a charge of common assault. The accused was found not guilty and discharged. Kondombolo Bonifasius (26) appeared on a charge of housebreaking with the intent to steal and theft. The matter was postponed to 25 February for further investigation. The suspect remains in custody. Nambua Trives (34) appeared on a charge of theft. The accused was found guilty and sentenced to six months in prison. Reginald Mario Boois (21) appeared on a charge of malicious damage to property. The accused was found guilty and sentenced to six months in prison. Joseph Nahongo (35) appeared on a charge of theft. The matter was postponed to 11 February because the accused was absent. The suspect is out on bail. Wilfred Uunona (30) and Joshua Kandengele Dilu (39) appeared on charges of theft and
trespassing respectively. The matter was postponed to 18 February because the accused was absent. Uunona and Kandengele are both out on bail. Ruben Mumbala (22) appeared on a charge of theft. The matter was postponed to 24 February for further investigation. The suspect remains in custody. Sion Sakaria (30) and Simeon Pinehas (36) appeared on a charge of theft respectively. The accused were found guilty and sentenced to three months in prison. Nowaseb Joseph (22) appeared on a charge of rape. The matter was postponed to 25 February for the suspect to gain legal aid. The accused is out on bail. Joseph Matheus Shilongo (45) appeared on a charge of assault with the intent to do grievous Bodily harm. The matter was postponed to 26 February for the continuation of the trial. The accused is out on bail.
Die klaer se juwele, waaronder twee goue armbande, halsnoere en ook ringe, is blykbaar deur sy huishulp gesteel en by een van hierdie juwele-kopers vir ‘n skamele N$600-N$800 verkwansel. Volgens hom is die juwele baie meer werd as dit en het dit ook sentimentele waarde. Op navraag by die besigheid waar die juwele blykbaar verkoop is, is hy ingelig dat die juwele reeds na Windhoek vervoer is. “Dit is regtig onaanvaarbaar dat geen rekord van persone wat juweliersware by sulke plekke verkoop gehou word nie – dit skep ‘n broeigrond vir misdaad,” het die klaer uitgevaar. Me-
neer Stan Lucas, areabestuurder van Ryckine Trading Enterprises, wat gebreekte of tweedehandse goud en silwer juweliersware vanaf die publiek aankoop, noem dat hulle streng volgens regulasies handel dryf. Hy het tydens ‘n telefoniese onderhoud met die koerant genoem dat hulle ‘n geregistreede besigheid in Kuisebmond bedryf en dat kliënte onderhewig is daaraan om ‘n bewys van identiteit te toon, hul handtekening moet verskaf, en ook ‘n verklaring dat hulle die wettige eienaar/s van die juwele is, te onderteken. Hy noem egter dat dit dit soms moeilik is om eienaarskap te beves-
tig, aangesien juweliersware nie ‘n reeksnommer het nie. Hulle het ook ‘n promosie-afdeling in Narraville. Lucas het ook aangedui dat hulle volgens regulasies, items wat aangekoop is, vir 48 uur op hul perseel moet bewaar. Indien hulle geen klagtes in hierdie tydsduur ontvang nie, word die juwele weggestuur. “Ons gee ons volle samewerking aan die polisie, indien enige klagtes inkom,” het Lucas genoem. Hy het ook aangedui dat daar wel sekere persone en soortgelyke besighede is wat nie volgens die wet en regulasie handel dryf nie, en dus ‘n slegte naam aan hierdie tipe besigheid gee.

Swakopmund schools up and running
Vandale het Donderdag die Duneside High kragboks van hul skoolhek gebreek. Die opsigter, mnr Paul Eck het vroeg die oggend die beskermingsomhulsel van die beheerstelsel van die hek in die pad gevind. Die drade van die stelsel was geknip. Daarna het hul by die pre-primêre afdeling die dak van die huisie in die speelpark afgebreek en die pale losgemaak. Mnr Van Eck het die pale opgetel en dit weer onmiddelik vasgeheg vir die veiligheid van die kinders. Ná 'n ondersoek bestaan die vermoede dat dit wraak was, 'n dag ná die skole se heropening.

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?

Lover’s Hill Hotel - too much, too soon An artist’s impression of the new hotel development on Lover’s Hill in Walvis Bay Bernabé Blaauw The proposed development of a luxury hotel at the area known as Lover’s Hill, next to the lagoon in Walvis Bay, is not welcomed by all as some role players in the hospitality industry feel that the new development will be able to manipulate rates and take away business from the current hotels and accommodation establishments in the harbour town. Various matters of concern came to light during a public meeting held at the public library of the Municipality of Walvis Bay last week with affected parties and interested persons as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). During this meeting it also came to light that the application for an environmental clearance certificate was rejected by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism and referred back for further investigation. A Chinese national, Mr Bo Wang, bought Portion 1 of Farm 45 (Lover’s Hill) in November 2002 from fishing mogul, Mr José Luis Bastos for an amount of N$20 million and plans to develop a luxury hotel and ecotourism complex on the property. Mr Bastos
bought the property from the municipality in 2002 for N$403 848. The complex will consist of 322 room, eight luxury suites, four presidential suites, 18 single-storey family suites, a gymnasium, a swimming pool, spa, and a public ecotourism education and information centre. During the public information meeting, Mr Conrad Scheffer of Bob Mould and Scheffer Architect, gave more details of the ecotourism friendliness of the project such as solar energy generation, gardens, landscaping and pedestrian walkways. He also gave the assurance that the existing public amenities such as walkways around the lagoon will be maintained and that a 10 metre green buffer zone will be created
around the complex. Some of the concerns raised were as follows: The hotel provides 34 percent more available accommodation than what is currently available in Walvis Bay. Not one of the establishments in Walvis Bay currently and in history shows 100 percent occupancy for a month. Many have a few days in the year with a 100 percent occupancy rate but in general a rate of 73 percent to 83 percent per month is maintained. Although the developers claim that they will provide 400 permanent jobs in the hotel, it is felt that they will also cause a lot of people to lose their jobs and businesses as the new development is too much, too soon. It is felt that a 400 m² ecotourism training facility
is too small if the size of the property is kept in mind, and that a bigger portion should be dedicated to education. Although there is nothing wrong with competition, it should be healthy competition and not overpowering the market with an average of 270 rooms per day more than what the current hotels are offering. It is also feared that the developer may add a Casino to the property when the proposed development proofs not to be profitable enough in the future. Although the harbour development will bring more business and extra hotels will be needed in future, nobody knows when the new harbour will be in place and more research in this instance is proposed. Did those who claim that this development is

needed now do a proper investigation and discussion with those currently engaged in the Hospitality industry? Should the environmental part not be of more recent studies? There are almost yearly changes in the behaviour of nature and it is felt that studies of the late 90’s are just not good enough for the intended purpose. The height of the building is also a matter of great concern. There is uncertainty about the building regulations for the area. Some say if the roof is included, the building will no longer be six storeys but closer to seven or even eight storeys. It seems as though the last shot in the Lover’s Hill issue has not been fired yet.

Tug “Omanda” salvaged Sunday night Although the Ports Authority could not be reached for comment, this probably indicates that the investigation into the sinking of the vessel was completed as no salvage operation
could be conducted before the completion of such an investigation. The photo was taken minutes before she sank on Tuesday night last week.
Rough Seas The tidal coeficient today was 94. With such a high coefficient the coast experienced big waves and strong currents. At noon the tidal coefficient increased to 100 and increased to a tidal coefficient of 104 by the end of the day. The tide heights today were 1.5 m, 0.3 m, 1.6 m and 0.2 m.
Swakopmund residents phoned us and said they drove down to the beach to look at the rough seas… these pictures were taken at 3:00 near the Jetty.

A toast to Gerard Jensen
Atlantis Sport Club says farewell to a good friend Bernabé Blaauw
Friends, family and club members came together at the Atlantis Sport Club last week to honour Gerard Jensen who passed away on 13 December last year. Gerard was a staunch supporter, a regular “knobel” player and former committee member of Atlantis. He was born in Kiel, Germany on 12 February 1966 and studied at the Fachhochschule in Flensburg. He was well-known in the information technology industry and also the owner of Namibtec in Walvis Bay.
His dry sense of humour and courage to
speak his mind will be sorely missed.
The late Gerard Jensen
Padkos vir oordenking Luister, so sê die Here wat jou geskep het: Moenie bang wees nie, Ek verlos jou, Ek het jou op jou naam geroep, jy is Myne. Jesaja 43:1 Gedagte: Vrese vir die toekoms, die onbekende en selfs die dood, oorweldig baiekeer die meeste van ons, maar God gee ons die versekering dat Hy elke lewenstree met ons is. Waarom dan vrese hê, indien die Almagtige Skepper van die hemel en aarde met ons is..? Leef voluit en in geloof dat Hy jou nooit in die steek sal laat nie, al lyk dit ook soms asof daar geen uitkoms uit ‘n probleem is nie.

Jana Bean: Die mense wat die meeste kla en fout vind is gewoonlik ook dié wat die minste doen en bydra... Uwe Bachmann: A rocky start, but good luck to all involved with this new school. We need more high quality education centers in Namibia. Betsy Lofty Eaton: Ek is ook ‘n baie trotse Pro-Ed ouer! Kom wees net meer betrokke en positief! Dit is wat ons “ ‘n skool met ‘n verskil maak” Ouers wat al 8 jaar en langer bou aan Pro-Ed! Dankie almal wat help en nog steeds hul hulp aanbied - julle is great. Daphne Sinclair: Daar is te veel mense wat te min doen en te min mense wat te veel doen. En as dit by kla kom is dit die
wat te min doen wat te veel kla. Die wat so kla moes van hul vakansie tyd gegee het en kom help het dalk kon jul dan van jul eie probleme opgelos het. Enige persoon wat iets naamloos wil sê is te bang om by sy feite te staan. Ons gesin Sinclair is baie trots op ons nuwe halwe skool. Colene Theron: Aan elke onderwyser, ouer en wie ook al betrokke is by skool, wil ek baie dankie sê vir al julle harde werk om 'n sukses te maak van Pro-Ed en veral met die nuwe deel. Dit word opreg waardeer en eks 'n trotse Pro-Ed ouer. Jammer dat mense altyd die negetiewe raaksien en nie eerder vra “waarmee kan ek help nie”!

Bernard plans to launch a book

Mavourlene Gaes
HIV/AIDs activist Bernard Kamatoto is planning on launching a book called “Sex is great but let’s be honest,” before the middle of the year. The book tells his own personal story on issues he had to deal with after being diagnosed with the HI-Virus over ten years ago. According to Kamatoto, he would sometimes go to schools or workplaces to learners and employees. He says he would feel bad because not everyone would be there to listen to his message and added that with the book he is about to launch every-
body will receive the message. Kamatoto says he is going to appoint someone who will put his experiences in writing, because he expresses himself better when he is doing the talking. Kamatoto says he will rather stick to what he does best. “Aside from my personal experiences the book will also touch on why it is that some of us as parents choose to talk
to our children about sex but fail to do so with our partners” Kamatoto explained. He is also planning on shooting a small educational film that will last about 45 minutes, for the launch of , what one could call, his experience-filled biography. The film will focus on factors including stigma and discrimination people living with HIV/AIDs are dealing with, in their everyday lives.
Where there is a will... Mavourlene Gaes
Jeremia Mashona who sells his products in front of a local grocery shop in Kuisebmond, what can only be described as a big “toolbox” in order to provide for his girlfriend and wife.
Jeremia posing next to the items he sells to customers
Mashona, like so many in Walvis Bay came to the coastal town in search of a better job opportunity but, ended up doing something else and as it turns out, it is something he loves. We all have to work hard to provide an income for those we are responsible for. Having a girlfriend and a child to take care of, this man has resort to selling what can only be described as big “toolbox”.
Spades, bathroom pipes and bike helmets amongst many others equipment are what you will find at the open market where he sells. Mashona explains that everything he finds is different - and if he sees anything worth selling, he goes for it. “I prefer selling on the street rather than using those small stalls from the municipality because my business is growing by the minute.” Mashona urged the public to
bring him what they want to sell and he will get it off their hands. He says where there’s a will, there’s always a way……he and his little business has proven that you can do whatever is possible to create an income, if you have people to look after. He says if you are doing something at least – and for the right reasons, you should feel proud, not ashamed of your circumstances.

A man with a passion for wood carving Marshallino Beukes
Mannetjies Smith’s playful attitude when it came to wood, turned into something more, when he discovered he actually enjoyed what he was doing. As it turned out he was very good at it. Art has become a great love for Mannetjies since he started carving wood in the 80s. Although he was born at the coast, he lived almost half of his life in the northern part of the country. He said because carving wood is very popular in that part of the country, it rubbed off on him but he had no idea he would actually be gifted. “I started carving wood because it was a fun thing I loved to do when I needed to pass time, it was after a few attempts that I saw it was something I really felt comfortable doing” he explained, adding it was only later on that he saw the beauty in wood and realised this could indeed be a talent he was blessed
with. Mannetjies has an obvious and innocent infatuation with wood carving which has grown over the years. He says his carvings and sculptures are in demand as local customers are constantly knocking on his door wanting to see his latest creation. According to him they love his products so much that, as soon as they see something that is appealing to them, they grab it before someone beats them to it. He can not only create a beautiful masterpiece out of nothing, but can take old furniture, be it an old chair or table, and turn it into an entirely different product.

Nepal surprises tournament favourites
chase. Erasmus was dismissed in the 35th over, with Namibia still 60 adrift of their target, but Sarel Burger ensured there were no hiccups. Burger scored a patient 71-ball 37 and was unbeaten when Namibia completed the chase, with 22 balls to spare. Gerhard Erasmus claimed the man of the match award, being the only batsman across both teams to cross 50 runs. Bjorn Kotze was the most successful bowler for Namibia with 3 for 34. Canada achieved a big total on day two of the competition, totaling 257 for six in its 50 overs against Kenya at Wander e r s A ff i e s C r i c k e t Grounds. The Canadians started very positively with a 71-
run partnership between Rizwan Cheema (57) and Nitish Kumar (15) and this was backed-up by the 4th wicket, 107run partnership between captain Amarbir Hansra (43) and Navneet Dhaliwal (93). Dhaliwal was the lynchpin for the Canadian innings which included six fours and four sixes. Kenya's chase of 258 was off to a poor start as they lost their openers within six overs. Collins Obuya and Irfan Karim added 95 runs for the third wicket to revive the team's chances, but as the required rate shot up, Kenya could not prevent the regular fall of wickets. Namibian Eagles head coach, Doug Watson, commented: “It was vital

Nepal's reply got off to a shaky start losing two early wickets. The 4thwicket 34-run partnership between captain Paras Khadka (19) and Binod Bhandari (35) put the Nepalese back on track. With every wicket momentum shifted, Sharad Vesawkar (24 not out) and Shakti Prasad Gauchan (2 not out) were in the middle for the last over requiring three runs from six balls. Nepal was determined not to fall short again, after losing the previous day, and Vesawkar hit the winning runs. Namibia won its second match of the tournament defeating Uganda by 4 wickets at Wanderers. A solid half-century from Gerhard Erasmus held together Namibia's
for us to get a strong start and get a win on day one. Against Uganda we were a bit under pressure at one time during the game, but it's fantastic that the team claimed the win. We have identified a few areas for improvement and now need to focus on our next game on Tuesday.” Confirming themselves as one of the favourites for the final with their strong performance on the first two days, Namibia will be next up against Netherlands on Tuesday at 9:30. “We will use the Monday's rest day for some recovery and an easy training session in order to get our mind set on the Netherlands encounter,” Watson added.

Blue Boys speel gelykop teen 10-man Spoilers
Marshallino Beukes Die Swakopmundse sokkerklub, Blue Boys, kon Saterdag nie daarin slaag om vir Spoilers van Okahandja die loef af te steek nie, alhoewel die besoekers met slegs tien spelers die tweede helfte van die wedstryd moes speel. Die kusspan het eerste die nette laat kraak, nadat M Mattheus in die 40ste minuut ‘n doel behaal het. Ben Kahoro van Spoilers is gedurende bykomende tyd van die eerste helfte (’47) die rooi kaartjie gewys en sy span was ver-
plig om die tweede helfte met slegs 10 spelers teen ‘n verbete Blue Boys uit te draf. ‘n Strafskop, net buite Blue Boys se doelgebied, is in die 62ste minuut aan die besoekers toegestaan en Ricardo Blaauw het
die gelykmaker behaal. Hierna het Blue Boys die Okahandja-span met aanvalle gepeper en Aubry Namaseb het in die 70ste minuut van die wedstryd daarin geslaag om die kusspan se tweede doel te behaal.
Geen genade is gegee of gevra nie en die toeskouers was heeltyd op hul voete tydens hierdie hoogs vermaaklike wedstryd. Spoilers het hardnekkig verdedig en het dit aan hul doelwagter te danke
dat Blue Boys nie meer doele aangeteken het nie. ‘n Teenaanval deur die besoekers het die Blue Boys verdediging onkant betrap en Michael Nghilondo het die Okahandja ondersteuners laat juig met sy doel, om die eind-
telling op 2-2 tot stand te bring. Weereens het Blue Boys net hulself te blameer, aangesien talle maklike kanse voor hul teenstanders se doelhok verbrou is. Die Swakopmund span se
bestuur sal defnitief ook hul ondersteuners voor stok moet kry, aangesien sommige van hulle se vuil taal en beledigings teenoor die wedstrydbeamptes glad nie bevorderlik vir sport en sportmangees is nie.
