Allegations have surfaced regarding a property allegedly being sublet to Chinese nationals for housing by Namport.

The matter was brought under the attention of the Walvis Bay Municipality and it was confirmed that if it was indeed the case, the practice would be illegal. The individual (name withheld) who the municipality states is renting the land from them confirmed that he is renting the property from the municipality. “If anyone wants questions answered they should contact the municipality or Namport. I do not want to elaborate” he told the newspaper.

Namport spokesperson Liz Sibindi explicitly pointed out that Namport is operating on the property and has not entered into any agreement to sublet the land to a Chinese company as is alleged. “Namport would not sublet now or within the future.

The cause of the fire that destroyed large parts of the Marienheim hostel at Tamariskia Primary School on Sunday afternoon has not yet been identified, but there are a number of clues as to the possible cause.

Despite the efforts of emergency personnel at the scene to contain the situation, the main building at the hostel, where the roof caught fire, could not be salvaged. It was reduced to cinders and burnt-out rubble within a matter of hours.

The fire apparently started in the boys' dormitory. All the children were however safely evacuated from the hostel yard shortly after the fire was detected.

Bystanders said that the firefighters managed to retrieve three children from one of the burning rooms. The three had suffered from smoke inhalation, but no further injuries were reported.

Crowds of people from the area gathered to watch as firefighters

struggled to bring the flames under control.

Local residents said that some time after midday they started noticing smoke and flames coming out of the roof of the hostel building next to Tamariskia Primary School.

The hostel for primary school children is run by the Catholic Church.

The local priest, Mr Anthony said that he was away at a service elsewhere when he was alerted to the fire at the hostel.

It is understood that the boys will have to sleep and study in the Catholic Church building until the problem is sorted out, or until alternative arrangements can be made.

When the Namib Times arrived at the scene at around 16:00 onlookers

said the fire had been raging for more than two hours already. There were however indications of attempts to start a second fire at the girls' dormitory, less than 50 metres from the boys' rooms. Assistant Matron Hamutenya pointed out that the curtains were somewhat burnt, as if someone had tried to start a fire there, but

failed.

There were footprints by the window, which she thinks may belong to the person who tried to start the second fire. It would have been difficult for anyone to escape over the eastern wall of the hostel, because that wall is around 5 metres high and cannot easily be scaled without a ladder.

Matron Hamutenya was

visibly shaken by the ordeal.

She said that the girls at the hostel, who are mostly of primary school age, are too frightened to return to their rooms, especially after they found that someone had tried to set fire to their dormitory.

An Australian family on holiday in Namibia was left absolutely shattered by the devastating news that their five-year old son had drowned at Dolphin Park near Walvis Bay on Friday.

Members of the public have reacted strongly to the news, seeing that it is the second drowning incident at the same resort within two weeks. “I feel very strongly that Adriano would be alive today if a lifeguard and

lifesaving equipment had been in place at this popular public pool”, said one of the bystanders who tried to help by giving the boy cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at the pool side (See reader's letter).

Second child drowns Whose land is this anyway?

“At the very least a 'high' chair should be positioned at the base of each slide, and two on either side of the larger pool area, so a qualified lifeguard, or at the very least an unqualified volunteer, can observe at height and spot any problem situations from an elevated position, along with other equipment to give a swimmer in difficulty. If this had been the case on Friday, Adriano would have been spotted immediately.”

The source, who did not want to be identified said: “as it was relatively quiet on Friday afternoon, Adriano was not spotted until two older boys found him at the bottom of the pool while swimming and then they very bravely pulled Adriano to the side and alerted the nearest adult.

An ambulance was immediately called for and bystander CPR took place while waiting for the ambulance to arrive.”

“The incredibly sad loss of 5 year old Adriano's life was preventable. I'm sure he would still be here today if lifeguards had been on duty and if an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) machine had been on site.”

Photo evidence of lifeguards, lying around in the shade was sent in by a reader. The source said that he was at Dolphin Beach Resort on 10 January with his children and that there were four lifeguards on duty, with two at the pool, but they were apparently lying in the shade. He told them to be alert, but apparently his warnings were ignored.

Standard practice requires that lifeguards must be alert at all times, particularly where children are swimming.

Reader's letter: The drowning at Dolphin Beach was preventable I would just like to comment on the tragic story of the 5 year old Australian boy who drowned at Dolphin Park on Friday afternoon.

Firstly, my heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the family during this truly difficult time, I

can only try and imagine what they must be going through and that brings me to tears. Secondly I feel very strongly that Adriano would be alive today if a lifeguard and lifesaving equipment had been in place at this popular public pool; a pool that will be-come even more popular when the new slides open.

At the very least a 'high' chair should be positioned at the base of each slide, and 2 on either side of the larger pool area, so a qualified lifeguard or at the very least an unqualified volunteer can observe at height and spot any problem situations from an elevated position along with other equipment to give a swimmer in difficulty. If this had been the case on Friday, Adriano would have been spotted immediately.

An ambulance was immediately called for and bystander CPR took place while waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

Now sadly, TV and films make chest compressions

and mouth-to-mouth look easy and successful, with the person coughing and coming back to life. The reality is very different and some statistics show only a 2% survival rate with full recovery with bystander CPR. Those stats rise to a survival rate of 80% if an (AED) is used. This is one of those packs that tell you where to attach the pads, when to do chest compressions and when to press the button to shock the heart back into action.

Anyone can buy a pack, so if one of these had been available at Dolphin Park, Adriano may have had a greater chance of survival.

AED packs are now in most supermarkets, banks, libraries, swimming pools and workplaces in other countries and they save lives every day.

Namport is however obligated to provide 100 000 square meters (10 hectares) to the company responsible for the offshore container terminal project as stipulated within the contract. We are considering options to allocate space to the contractor when the notice for them to proceed is issued. The land in question will be used to construct storage facilities and to store material.' Ms Sibindi pointed out that even if Namport don't provide the land the agreement would still be fulfilled. “We have not yet reached that stage in order for this to materialise” she concluded. Namport will investigate the allegations pertaining to the alleged illegality and subletting of the land in question and will take up the issue with the relevant authorities.

A community member who requested anonymity informed the newspaper about her concerns with regard to an alleged business relationship between Namport and China Harbour Company. According to the source, a reliable third party informed her that Namport was apparently subletting 40 000 square meters of property close to the horse stables to Chinese Nationals and questioned why they were not renting the property from the Municipality directly.

“Is the subletting of industrial property allowable and does the municipality permit this practice?” she asked.

“According to my knowledge if you rent property from the municipality you may not sublet it to make a profit” the source said and alleged that Namport was availing

industrial ground to Chinese nationals free of charge in order to be utilised for accommodation purposes.

“How can the municipality allow this? Did Namport make a mistake or are the Chinese exempted from anything?” the source continued. “The ground is allegedly being rented out to Chinese nationals by a former employee of Namport for more than a year now.”

The newspaper visited the site on Saturday and spoke to the security guard on duty at the premises in question. According to him the property belonged to Namport and he was guarding it on the port authority's behalf.

According to the Public Relations Officer of the municipality, Mr Kevin Adams, the subletting of property without the consent of the Municipality of Walvis Bay is unacceptable. In this case the individual involved does not have our consent. We have investigated the matter and we are awaiting a response from this individual. Once we have received a response we can take further action.”

He also informed the newspaper that the municipality was unaware that Namport is involved and according to him, these allegations are false. “The property involved is being rented to a certain individual and from what we can recall this individual is not part of Namport at all. We have no idea why it was alleged that Namport is involved.”

Rössing restarts plant after emergency shutdown Jade McClune

Rössing Uranium Mine said on Friday that one of two modules in its processing plant has been brought back into operation last week.

The managing director of Rössing, Mr Werner Duvenhage, said on Friday that “The mine will be recommencing its operations, albeit at a reduced rate, over the next couple of days.” The leach processing plant is expected to be brought back to normal operations during the current quarter.

Duvenhage said that they had undergone a “process of rigorous inspections, repairs, reviews and approvals” before they were granted approval by Rössing's Board of Directors to resume operations. Various specialist services were also needed during the inspection, repair and review process.

Rössing has commissioned a full investigation into the structural failure at the leach tank in December to try to determine the precise cause. One of 12 leach tanks in the processing plant at the mine failed at around 18:30 on Tuesday, 3 December 2013. It was earlier reported that a leaking hole was detected shortly before the structural collapse of the leach tank.

Duvenhage said “initial findings indicate that the tank failure was due to localised external corrosion of the tank.” The tank has since been safely removed and other tanks inspected, he said, adding that the lessons of “the failed tank incident are now also applied broadly in the operation.” Following a detailed inspection of the processing plant, a number of areas needing improvement were identified. These are being further investigated and where feasible, plans will put in place to implement these

improvements, he noted. “During the extended period of production shut down, the opportunity was used to do scheduled repairs elsewhere in the plant and this work will continue.”

Mr Duvenhage said that “The area where the tank failed has been made safe… Nobody was exposed to elevated exposure levels. Apart from minor first aid administered at the scene, no employees sustained injuries during the incident.” The mine did not specify how the damaged leach tank would be safely disposed of, but the MD of Rössing explained that following the leak, “all spilled material was washed down with hoses into the holding tank, from where it is to be recycled in the processing plant.”

The cost of the full restoration work is currently being estimated and it is certain that the leach tank failure will have an impact on the company's production targets and its financial results in 2014, he said. The mine's management team is currently reviewing the 2014 plans and Rössing is working closely with the relevant regulatory authorities in Namibia in the management of the incident, the MD said.

Following a similar spill at its Ranger mine in the Kakadu National Park in Australia, where a leach tank had also failed and caused a massive spill within a week of the incident near Arandis, there are concerns among observers of the industry over the potential risks associated with aging mining infrastructure. Rössing uranium mine has been in operation since 1976.

Gecko eyes area near Nonidas for noxious industry Jade McClune

Fire continued from page 1 A homeless man, who said he was walking through the premises in search of something to eat at around lunchtime, claimed he had seen a group of small children playing in the yard with matches.

Emergency personnel had their hands full to control the blaze and were clearly relieved that the flames did not reach the 200 litre diesel storage tank less than 20 metres from the main building, which was largely destroyed by the fire. Experienced firefighter, Mr Ronnie Adams said it is important to teach the local residents, and particularly school-going children, about fire safety. He feels that fire safety training should be part of the school curriculum.

The hostel usually provides accommodation to around 60 girls and 50 boys, who attend different schools in the town. But, given the extent of the damage it may take some time before the dormitory will be restored.

One parent at the scene said he has three children currently living there. Shortly after lunchtime, they had run all the way to Mahetago to tell him that the hostel is on fire. He rushed over as soon as he could, but there was little anyone could do to rescue the situation.

Parents and relatives of the affected children are advised to bring blankets and some clothes, as the boys have lost most of their belongings.

Moves are underway to create an industrial park and laboratory for testing radioactive materials outside Swakopmund.

Gecko Investments Nine Ltd, which owns the property near Nonidas, intends to erect a number of mining offices, workshops and a laboratory for testing radio-active materials, including uranium, copper and gold, at the proposed site.

A little-noticed advertisement in the classified section of a national paper, published on 7 October 2013, indicates that Gecko Investments applied to the Municipality of Swakopmund for consent to use “Portion 23 of Farm 163” to set up a “laboratory dealing with samples of radioactive ore”.

The area in question is about 220 hectares in size (2.2 square km) and is located a few kilometres outside Swakopmund. A gravel road that turns north from the B2 trunk road close to the Nonidas siding leads to the proposed site, where a piece of windblown paper serves as a

notice to anyone who may want to submit any objections.

Well-known local environmentalist, Mr Georg Erb, wrote to the developers, saying “As can clearly be judged by anyone, the adverts in the newspaper, as well as the sign in the middle of nowhere, were very well hidden. It seems that this was your – and your client's – specific intention.” The notice was published by Winplan Town and Regional Planning Consultants on behalf of Gecko Investments. The managing director of Winplan, Mr Gerhard van der Merwe, told the Namib Times that the project is in a preliminary stage and that they would still have to apply for environmental clearance before they can proceed. He said the site outside Swakopmund would not be used for processing uranium, but only to test the levels of

radioactivity in mining ore.

It is their intention to apply to the municipality to use the land for the stated purpose and the public would still have an opportunity to raise their objections and questions, as a part of the overall environmental impact assessment (EIA), he said.

Residents familiar with the area have meanwhile pointed out that the property advertised is actually Farm 136, not Farm 163 as indicated in the notice. An official at the municipality confirmed that the property was incorrectly advertised and is thus invalid. Winplan will have to re-advertise thee notice, he said. It is understood that, if approved, Gecko Drilling, which is currently based in Walvis Bay, would also be relocated to the new premises outside Swakopmund, where workshops and offices would be built for the purpose.

Mr Oliver Krappmann, the lead geologist on the project, said that they have not yet made a final

decision on the matter, but confirmed that they intend to set up laboratory facilities. “Once we make a decision, we will go through the EIA process.

The lab will be in the coastal area and will service the needs of the exploration and mining companies in the region”, with a particular focus on uranium exploration and mining.

Gecko would need “permission to analyse radioactive material” and would go through the statutory process, he said, regarding the handling of radioactive materials, effluent, dust and water. If they are to work with materials with more than 60 uranium ppm (particles per mil-lion), they would need additional clearance from the Ministry of Health and Social Services.

The area is currently not zoned for industrial use, but Mr Krappmann noted that it had previously been earmarked for future 'light industrial' development.

The property is unserviced and the developers are

struggling to come to an agreement with Erongo Red over power supply.

Krappmann said that the matter has been under discussion for more than a year and a half, but remains unresolved.

Additional safety measures would have to be put in place to ensure that employees are protected and there will also have to be regular inspections to ensure compliance with terms of the Atomic Energy and Radiation Protection Act. If the plan is approved, Gecko Investments would still need to get clearance and set up linear infrastructure, such as roads, as well as power and water supply lines.

But at the moment they are not yet sure where the electricity supply will come from. “It is a cumbersome process”, Mr Krappmann said, and they cannot start with the EIA until all the related issues have been resolved. All decisions are currently on hold: “The project is still in limbo.”

Murder trial drags on for 7 years Jade McClune

In a case that has dragged on since 2007, three men accused of murdering 28-year old Leonard Shikongo after a music concert in June that year, heard this week that they will be expected to enter their plea when the case resumes in June.

A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT: Parts of Mondesa were flooded by sewerage water on Friday night. Residents in the area around OB Street in Swakopmund struggled to stay dry during the night and had to improvise by building sand barriers to keep their homes dry.

People in the area are worried that the raw sewerage water is running into their yards and homes and poses a major health risk, especially to children and the elderly.

Marshallino Beukes and Jade McLune

After numerous reports on the hygienic problem residents of Mondesa in Swakopmund are facing, regarding sewer blockages in the area, the fiasco continues. Saturday night residents of Mondesa's OB Street had to witness their homes overflown with sewage water and lots of damage was caused.

The Municipality of Swakopmund recently replied to residents of Erika Tsuses and OB street, after they forwarded a formal letter of complaint to the authorities, regarding this matter. The municipality responded that this issue “was taken into serious consideration” and that it will “receive urgent attention”.

These residents are now asking why this problem is not resolved yet and some stated that, “if it occurred in another area, drastic measures would have been taken already to permanently resolve it, once and for all”.

After unsuccessfully trying to reach the Sewerage Standby cellphone number in the directory, the Namib Times called the Municipality's General Manager of Engineering Services, Mr Dewald Duvenhage at around 08:40 but his response was, “Do not call me again, good bye!”.

Mr Duvenhage did not

even listen to what the reporter had to say, after introducing him-self.

Residents in the area are fed up with the situation and demand an immediate solution.

“The raw sewerage water is running into

since 1967, said: “What does it help to complain. This is the fourth time this has happened in recent months and the problem has still not been solved. It's been happening since 1994.”

stinking sewerage water, running freely through their yard and into their homes, had already been an ongoing problem back when she first arrived.

She feels that the government is at fault for neglecting the needs of the poor.

Another resident of OB Street, Mrs Otillie Rutz, said that she had been living there since 2008 and that the problem of

Kambueshe, was alerted to the situation, several municipal workers were on site (arriving at around 9:30) to inspect the situation and to pump out excess water.

The mayor said briefly

that one of the main problems is that people throw all kinds of waste into the drains. “They throw stones and things into the manholes,” he said and this causes blockages in the pipes.

He said that the municipality had started on 6 January to remove and replace some of the older pipes in that street.

One technician at the scene said they cannot do all the necessary repairs to the pipes, as there are backyard shacks built on top of the sewerage lines and many of these makeshift houses have concrete floors.

This may mean that those shacks built on top of the pipes would have to be removed before they can lay new pipes.

The Municipality contracted a private contractor during the months of October and November 2013 to install a relief sewer line in Erika Tsuses street, in order to divert sewage flow from sewer lines located at the back of the erven.

They are busy plan-

Jurgen Naruseb (23), Jackson Ndjitaviua (23) and Patrick Oaseb (22) face a charge of murder and assault with the intent to do grievous bodily harm.

The case stems from an incident that occurred in Swakopmund in June 2007 when the late Shikongo was stabbed along the Vrede Rede Road in Tamariskia, while returning from a concert of Tate Buti.

It was reported that after the concert Shikongo and a friend were walking along Vrede Rede road when they were attacked by three armed assailants.

"He was murdered in cold blood. They arrested the suspects and gave them bail. They are free now. There were witnesses. The case was removed from the roll twice. Until now, we have not heard anything. The three suspects have been free for more than five years. What if they and the witnesses abscond, or leave town or the country? This is a case of justice delayed, justice denied," Shikongo's uncle, Gideon Abner told a reporter from The Namibian in January la st y ea r.

The young Shikongo was reportedly stabbed in the neck and the head several times and succumbed shortly afterwards to his wounds.

His companion however managed to get away from the attackers and later identified the three suspects, who were taken into custody that very same night (11 June 2007).

Abner told the press at the time: “We followed this up with the chief of Erongo police; the chief regional investigation coordinator, the investigating officer and the prosecutor. We wanted to know what was happening. Why was the case being delayed like this? And still no one can tell us why… The court has everything they need to prosecute the suspects,” the grieving un cl e sa id .

The three suspects are currently out on a warning and their case is expected to start on 16 June, when they will be required to enter a plea on the charge of murder and assault with intent to do h a r m . ning the extraction of sewer lines at the back of the resident's erven and to install new main sewer lines, so as to channel all domestic sewers to the streets.

However, residents are urged to bear with them, as they strive to

resolve this issue permanently and to refrain from dumping nonsewage, debris or waste into sewers at the manholes, as doing so will only result in clogging and overflowing of the sewers.

Kidnapping, rape and Court Report murder before court Walvis Bay Jade McClune

16 JANUARY 2014

Two people charged with kidnapping a small child in Swakopmund in December 2011 appeared before the Regional Court in Swakopmund this week.

Veyonne Beukes (23) and Dylan Stramis (18) stand accused of kidnapping and extortion after they were first arrested in December 2011. The child was allegedly snatched by them during the December holiday as part of a money-making scheme. The child's father reported that his daughter was on her bicycle near the Wurstbude in Swakopmund when she was kidnapped. A car had stopped alongside the child and the occupants asked her for directions to a nearby restaurant.

After showing the two people the way to the Village Café in town, the two occupants made many excuses as to why they could not let Pauline out the car, her father said at the time. Pauline's mother got an SMS shortly afterwards saying that their daughter had been kidnapped: 'We have Pauline.

Contact us urgently' and 'Don't contact the police. If you do, you won't see her again.

She is safe. I am watching you.' They were to deliver N$30 000 to the kidnappers within 30 minutes.

Pauline's mother went to drop the ransom near the corner of Strand and Marshall Street, where law enforcement officers swooped onto the kidnappers, just as the money was being handed over. The suspects were in Golf with a Windhoek registration number.

Beukes was later released on bail in February 2012 after it transpired that she was 10 weeks pregnant. Stramis, who turned 18 in the holding cells in W a l v i s B a y, h a d brought a letter to court from a doctor, which said that he suffers from depression. He had reportedly suffered a 'highly sensitive incident' while in police cus-

tody.The presiding magistrate Hannelie Prinsloo said at the time, “There is only a letter from a general practitioner stating that he suffers of depression; no physiological evaluations have been made. It would be normal for any person to be depressed if in holding cells.” After the 'sensitive incident', Stramis was relocated to the Walvis Bay holding cells from the Narraville Prison, where he was held in a single cell. “His basic human rights were infringed while he was in the Narraville holding cells, but this was addressed by the authorities and thus also does not warrant the new bail application,” the magistrate said at the time.

Both accused, who are resident in Khomasdal, Windhoek, are currently out on bail of N$7 000 each.

They may not leave Windhoek, except for court hearings.

Following their court appearance on 17 January the case was postponed to 4 June 2014. They also have to report to the police every Monday and Friday.

In a related case before the regional court, five charges including assault, threatening and rape, against 16-year old Denzel Gaseb, were withdrawn from the Regional Court roll on 15 January. It was alleged that Gaseb, a resident of Walvis Bay, had sexually assaulted a fellow inmate in the holding cells, but the complainant withdrew all the charges against Gaseb this week and told the court that he had consensual sex with the accused.

The charges of rape and assault against Gaseb were thus withdrawn. Gaseb is currently serving a longterm sentence for a murder he committed when he was thirteen years old.

Pakistani man charged with 'indecent act with child’ Jade McClune

A 41-year old Pakistani man appeared before the regional court in Swakopmund last week on charges of committing an indecent act with a child.

Shahid Khan, who reportedly runs a cellphone shop in Walvis Bay, was arrested last year in connection with

“enticing a child to commit an indecent act” and faces a further charge of “committing an indecent act with a child”. At this stage only one child victim has come forward to lay charges.

It is alleged that Khan lured unsuspecting children into his place of business and plied them with gifts in return for sexual grati-

fication. His case was postponed on 14 January, because the lawyer representing Khan, Mr Frans Olivier, acting on the instruction of Jan Olivier & Co, gave notice last week that he is withdrawing from the case. The court thus granted a postponement to allow Khan to get legal representation.

Khan is currently out

on bail of N$1000 and is expected to appear in court again on 21 February to answer the charges against him.

A spokesperson for Jan Olivier & Co law firm confirmed yesterday that they have withdrawn from the case, but would not be drawn into commenting on the reasons for the sudden withdrawal.

Our suicidal youth Piquet Jacobs

Suicide numbers have risen rapidly with six cases reported in less than a week while 241 suicides were recorded nationally in 2013.

The youngest victim, a 14 year old learner from Traugott Kandorozu Primary School, near Gobabis, committed suicide on the school terrain on Friday. The deceased, Himeezembi Ndjavera, was discovered in one of the classrooms at approximately 08:30.

Speculations are that she claimed her own life because of her school results.

In the latest reported incident, Melrine Martin (17), who matriculat ed at Jan Mรถhr High School in 2013, committed suicide by hanging herself with an electric cord while family members were attending a church service on Sunday.

Her parents came home and made the gruesome discovery. She left no suicide note. The police is investigating the case.

The reported suicide of a 24-year-old woman on Friday is also being investigated. A young woman hanged herself in the shower using a piece of cloth in the backroom of

her parent's home in Windhoek North.

Bianca Carina Nashikaku was discovered by her mother at approximately14:15.

She left a suicide note.

The investigation is at a sensitive stage and the police suspect foul

years old, allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself with a shotgun last week Wednesday between 20:00 and 21:00 in Okuryangava. The deceased left no suicide note. Police are investigating.

In another incident, a

play.

The 31-year-old Elia Kadombo took his own life by hanging himself with an electric cord tied to a roof beam in the toilet. He did not leave a suicide note. His body was discovered at around 07:00 last week Thursday.

An unidentified security guard (male), approximately 25

40-year-old man committed suicide after a quarrel with his girlfriend on 14 January.

The body of Frans Gariseb was discovered at approximately 21:30 in his room at Herero Block Squatters Camp in Gobabis.

It appears as if the Namibian youth increasingly opt to claim their own lives.

Suicide statistics continues to rise week by week and is a serious problem. The Deputy Minister of Health and Social Services, Petrina Haingura, launched an initiative known as the Yellow Ribbon for Suicide Prevention in September, 2012.

The Yellow Ribbon program was founded

in 1994 by Dale and Dar Emme, the parents of a bright teenager Mike Emme, who took his life.

Community members are urged to help to prevent suicide attempts. A suicidal person may not ask for help and there may not always be signs but that does not mean that help is not wanted.

Most people who take their own lives don't necessarily want to die they just want to escape from whatever situation they are in.

Suicide prevention starts with recognising the warning signs, no matter how severe, and taking them seriously.

When one realises a friend, family member or loved one is suicidal, the subject is hard to bring up and discuss, but talking openly about suicidal thoughts and feelings can save a life.

Major warning signs for suicide can be recognised when talking or writing about killing or harming oneself and focusing attention on items that could be used in a suicide attempt, such as weapons or drugs.

These signals should be taken up even more seriously if the person has a mood disorder such as depression or bipolar disorder, suffers from alcohol dependence, has previously attempted suicide, or has a family history of suicide.

World Suicide Day is celebrated annually on September 10 by wearing yellow ribbons.

Areva offers to sell Navachab on strike desalination plant to GRN Mavourlene Gaes

MAKING WATER: Aerial view of the desalination plant at Wlotzkabaken while still under construction.

According to well-placed sources cited by Bloomberg News, Areva, the foremost producer of nuclearpower plants internationally, had offered to sell its N$3 billion desalination plant near Wlotzkasbaken, outside Swakopmund, to the Namibian government for an undisclosed amount.

It was reported that in terms of the offer, Areva would retain 10 to 20% shareholding in the plant.

By maintaining a stake in the plant, the company reportedly hopes to ensure a steady supply of water to the company's Trekkopje uranium mine, located some 60 kilometres east of Swakopmund.

Before starting up full-scale mining operations, Areva decided to put its Trekkopje project into maintenance in mid-2012, as it became increasingly clear that the collapsing price of uranium on the world market, rendered operations at the new mine unprofitable.

According to Bloomberg, their insider source declined to be named, because the offer has not yet been made public and because the Namibian government has not yet formally replied to the proposal, which was apparently presented to Namwater.

Questions were sent to Areva to confirm whether there is an offer on the table and the state of negotiations, but the managing director of Areva Namibia, Mr Hilifa Mbako, did not yet reply by the time of going to press. Despite repeated calls, text

messages and emails over the past two months, all attempts to get answers from Namwater produced no results. Namwater's website is currently also offline. Its public relations officers did not reply to messages and their phones went unanswered.

In addition to questions regarding the possible sale of the plant, Mr Mbako of Areva and Namwater were also asked to clarify the current state of negotiations between Namwater and Areva over the supply of water to mines in the region, including Langer Heinrich, Rössing and the new Husab mine.

It was reported earlier that the price of the water to be charged was a central point of disagreement between the parties.

The depletion of water in the Omaruru Delta aquifer in recent years has thrown the mining industry into further disarray, as in the medium to long term the mines will not be able to continue operations, or carry out any major expansions without access to desalinated water. Areva says that its plant can supply around 20 million cubic metres of clean water per year.

Drop in numbers of seals culled Jade McClune

Seal hunters along the shores of Namibia did not meet their quota for killing seals in 2013. This was mainly due to insufficient facilities for processing seal carcasses, the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources said this week.

Of the total quota of 86 000 seals, around 55 432 noted in the interview with Bloomberg that a census were reportedly killed during the 2013 cull. conducted in 2011 indicated that the seal population Following close on the heels of Canada, Namibia on Namibian shores had grown to around 1.2 million conducts the second-largest annual seal cull in the individuals. world.

Doctors refuse

Namib Times Facebook

I am totally shocked and appalled. My sister and her family are on holiday in Walvis Bay.

BREAKING NEWS:

to see new patients

Her two year old daughter became very ill and the hospitals and private doctors were non-existent. Most of the private doctors simply state that they do not see new patients?? What about the Hippocratic oath??

The child had a temperature of 40 degrees since Monday and no-one wanted to help them. I really feel strongly that the public should know that if you or your children become ill finding decent medical treatment is nearly impossible. The private hospital in Swakopmund were just as appalling simply telling them that they can't do anything and put the phone down on them. Money isn't an issue, but no-one cared. After rallying

my own friends on facebook we finally found someone who looked at the little one and was able to help.

Surely this is not the image Walvis Bay wants to portray?

Unfortunately my family aren't the only one who have experienced this, other friends of mine had the same problem when their child became ill.

Please assist tourists to your country and ensure their well being by making an effort.

Ensure that information about decent doctors are available should they be needed.

Winnie Chaplin

Poor service Please allow me to wish all the staff and readers a wonderful rest of the year. Part of my new year's resolutions was to stop accepting poor service, and this is a start of that resolution.

Just a few weeks ago there was a letter in your newspaper where a lady complained about poor service that she had received with her fridge from a local furniture store, well she should have named them and shamed them.

We have recently had five experiences (since May 2013) where the fridge packed up. On the first two the entire content of the fridge and freezer were lost because we were away at the time. The third time we managed to save the contents. The fridge was bought three years ago from NICTUS, Walvis Bay, and was taken back to them on all occasions.

They have a policy that covers the repairs of this DEFY fridge for an additional three years after the original two year warranty expires.

Part of this policy, I am led to believe, is that should the fridge pack up three times during this period it will be replaced with a new one.

The support from the manager at NICTUS has been arrogant and shocking to say the least so much so that I called the regional manager of NICTUS in Windhoek, a certain Mr Phillip Roberts, to complain about his manners and approach. The fourth time we took it in after it just stopped working his 'repairman' told me that there was in actual fact nothing wrong with the fridge but he replaced the thermostat anyway as and I quote, “... the thermostat installed by the previous repair man was done so unprofessionally that it needed to be replaced..” unquote. Well when it came back from this particular repairman, and from day one, it froze up at the back at the compressor and resulted in the floor being constantly wet with the defrosting of this big blob of ice. The fridge did also not get

cold because of the back panel inside the fridge bring frozen. This was reported and NICTUS were going to collect the fridge on 27 December and bring a replacement fridge, but no surprise, this did not happen until 7 January, just more of the same poor service. We have been told that there was a “hole in the pipe which caused the pipe to freeze up”. We now are at a standoff with NICTUS as they want to send the fridge back but we don't want it back because it is unreliable.

I challenge the editor to take this matter up with the manager of NICTUS Walvis Bay and have him put his side of the story on record for all to read. I also challenge that lady who reported her fridge issues to come forward and name the furniture store where she had the problems. I challenge all consumers to IMMEDIATELY STOP accepting poor and shocking service and treatment, it is because we accept poor service that we get poor service.

I attach my name but leave it to the editor to decide if he would like to print it, I have nothing to hide and the story above is the facts as they stand.

Regards Shane Westerdale Ed: We contacted the manager of Nictus, Mr Almer De Jager who responded by saying that he did not want to comment on the letter. “It was not the writer of the letter who experienced problems as a customer but someone related to him.

You can go ahead and publish the complaint. We welcome the media exposure we will receive,” he said.

Morsjorse Ek verwys hiermee na die berig oor "Morsjorse" Ek verstaan heeltemal dat die leser teleurgesteld was oor die manier waarop die manne hulle rommel net daar gestrooi het, MAAR ook hierin sien ek nie die nodigheid hoekom ons kerk se naam daarmee gekoppel is nie. As ek u net kan reghelp, die kerk het geen beheer oor persone wat enige onsuurlike bedrywighede beoefen buite die kerkgronde nie. Dis tog munisipale area of is dit nie???? En dus is ek verward hoekom u nie die naam van die kerk geweerhou het nie? Stel u net voor as die meerderheid lesers hierdie skrywe verkeerd interpreteer.....en dit het gebeur. Dus versoek ons u nederig om die naam van die kerk in ere te herstel. Ek glo elke ouer gee opvoeding tot die beste van sy vermoë, en dus is dit jou keuse wat jy daarmee maak...

Mutago Bertha Noreses So sad.

When the hunter becomes the hunted Corey Knowlton, the man who spent $350,000 for the chance to shoot and kill an endangered black rhino in Namibia, says he's now the one who is being hunted.

Uwe Schmidt Enjoy the feeling of being hunted! The animal you shoot for fun have no choice...

Lynda DE Lange The Namibian government should never have allowed this 2 take place at all..mr Corey feel what it is lyk 2 be hunted an killed..u never worried if tht rhino had kids did u??i don't think so..an 2 spend so much money 4cthat u crazy when there are so many hungery children in this world.. U deserve what is cuming ur way...

Kandali Belinda Amukome Why are you scared now.

From the pictures it looks like you like killing things for your own pleasure. Wish the Rhino was the one hunting you down now.

Bennie Burger Its very good that he is threaten. hopefully a rhino's live will be saved.

Garyth Ditchfield Karma, remember how the animals you hunted ran? Run b*tch run!!

Dawn Els Yeah, what goes around comes around.... the equilibrium is powerful when it moves into its position again... it regards nothing.

Lloyd Andrew Houston Really people. Imagine I phoned you up for driving a car because I felt it was destroying the earth and making Rothschild richer.

Hhmmm. Until it is against the law, crawl back into your sanctimonious holes and shut the f**k up. He has done nothing wrong. The less hunted a spp is the more for poachers to steal and the less money to tax therefore conservation because none of you are paying to protect anything except an emotional point of view clearly not held by all. We are hunters and we are in the woods doing a lot more than just shooting an animal. What are you doing except excising your right to talk talk talk!

Badgering law abiding citizens doing what they love.

Find poachers to threaten not law abiding citizens! Still is within in the law of both the US and Namibia.

Botswana tried to put an end to the Hunting industry there and almost bankrupted itself. Hunting soon to be allowed once again. Conservation cannot work without Hunting/Culling simple as that. And if you promote breaking the Law you are no better than a common poacher and part of the problem. You will be caught and punished according to the laws of the country in which you live. Or be shot as we defend ourselves and our rights as Hunters~!!!

Dawn Els I also hunt. But according to the rules of nature, I need Her laws and will never go against it. Its our choice - either with or against the law of nature.

Were you hungry each time you hunted?

Tamar Blaauw There is no excuse for this. Trophy hunting is stupid anyway. Why the devil do you need to go out and shoot some animal (an endangered one at that!) just so you can get your sick little rocks off?

Trophy hunting is pathetic.

Brotherman Peter Yes, innocent animals have no FBI to protect thm from your cruelity! I hope they find u soon Chix Paul Herbst For the record I don't I don't like trophy hunting BUT... the rhino will never survive the

economic demand for it's horn as long as it's illegal and fetches the astronomical prices it does.. As horrible and as sad as it is, if we do not find a financial angle and a way to satisfy the demand, this magnificent animal is as good as extinct. For goodness sake they are breaking into museums and stealing exhibit rhino horn. If that doesn't say it all, what does? Everybody can cry their emotional little eyes out, it doesn't help one iota Tears won't save the rhino, a financial solution like legalising it will. Sad but true.

Querita Hardnick Can't believe that Namibia actually supports this desicion to hunt rhinos.

Disgrace have a heart they are an endangered species!

Chix Paul Herbst It's got nothing to do with emotions and who thinks whose sport is stupid.

The sick Asian demand will never stop and everyone will still be crying and bitching at each other the day the last dehorned bloody Rhino carcass is found. They need to lift the ban on rhino horn and try to "farm" it sustainably somehow and thereby kill the demand, otherwise it's tickets for this poor animal. All the emotional outcries and personal insults against trophy hunters doesn't help. Trophy hunters might yet be the only sustainable way of ensuring a future for the rhino.

Lloyd Andrew Houston Yip where law abiding citizens are harassed by ignorant saps that know nothing about hunting, the planet or anything that is conservation oriented... It is just pathetic... They be just emotional wrecks ...eating eating eating ...

Never doing any good like funding Anti Poaching Orgs here in Africa... sighs ...sorry my brother ..hang in there and be safe~!

Jaco Coetzee So why don't you "hunters" rather hunt poachers instead of rhinos?? "Helping" by killing rhino sounds rather retarded to me Let's cut the bullshit, its not about helping its about the rush, the trophy and the "I have hunted a rhino" syndrome If it were for the sake of helping why not just sponsor the money without hunting the rhino??

Sharon Brooks Mr Houston, while I respect your right to have an opinion, the huge amount of money this permit was sold for acts as an extremely strong incentive for poaching. There is more at play here than the law.

SHARK ALERT The Namibian Dolphin Project was alerted to the presence of several sharks at the Walvis Bay lagoon early Friday morning. The first call was from Bex Russell, who saw a 1.7 meter bronze whaler shark (Carcharhinus brachyurus) stranded on the mudflats near Millionaire's mile.

The animal was calm and sedate, probably suffering from lack of oxygen and exposure. It was refloated by Dr Simon Elwen of the Namibian Dolphin Project and within a few minutes swam away into deeper water. Just

over an hour later, there was a report of another shark stranded in a similar position. This animal was slightly smaller, and again calm and refloated easily.

Within the next hour, 2 more sharks (one more bronze whaler and one

smooth hound shark) were found by local residents, all successfully refloated and we are hopeful that they made it back out into open water.

We are not sure why they stranded, but it most likely due to the warm

temperatures and a lack of oxygen in the water associated with the current sulphur bloom.

While the sharks we have encountered so far are quite placid, bronze whaler sharks can and do bite and wild animals are unpredictable and potentially dangerous especially when stressed.

Therefore we would encourage members of the public to phone the Namibian Dolphin Project on 081 421 4968 or the WB Strandings Network through: 081 602 1355 or 081 149 7377 for further assistance if they encounter any stranded sharks, or other creatures such as whales, dolphins or turtles.

The Namibian Dolphin Project is a research and conservation project working in Walvis Bay and Lüderitz, Namibia.

The goals of the project are to gather data on the abundance, distribution and habitat use of whales and dolphins in Namibia.

This project is working with Oceans Research and is funded by grants from several organisations. We work closely with the Namibian Ministry of Fisheries and are hosted within Namibia by the Namibia Nature Foundation. The Project team currently consists of Simon Elwen, Tess Gridley, Heidi Etter and Ruth Leeney.

Some important things to bear in mind with stranded whales and dolphins: - Most of the time, animals strand due to natural causes such as disease, injury or old age (which aren't always obvious) and refloating them isn't likely to prolong their lives anyway.

-These animals can (and increasingly do) carry diseases that can infect people. People also can transfer diseases to animals.

- Cetaceans are large and extremely strong, even the smallest local animal (the Heaviside's dolphin) weighs about 50-60kg and adult humpback or right whale weighs 10s of tons. Throw in some heavy seas and big swells and you have a recipe for disaster. Sixty kg's being thrown into you by the force of some pounding swells will knock you over at the very least, or a larger animal could very easily roll onto your foot and trap you underneath it.

Don't forget that a whale's tail can push it's entire body out of the water when breaching if it hits a person with that tail while on the beach...

- With respect to the situation of a large animal such as this in big surf - refloated animals often just turn immediately once in the water and swim along shore and then straight back on to land. Bear in mind that these animals have likely never lain on the ground before (and thus experienced gravity as us land mammals do) and this can result in squashed or even crushed internal organs in larger animals (especially their lungs), upset balance and one would

image, just general disorientation. Sperm whales are fairly tall and narrow in shape, so tend to lie on their side when stranded, which makes it even harder to move them and probably disorients them even more than other animals.

To reduce this disorientation and reduce the risk of restranding, the approach advised by experienced people is to, once back in the water, hold the animal upright at the surface for several minutes up to half an hour to allow it to reorient itself and get its breathing back to normal.

Unfortunately, there is

no logistical way that a handful of people could get an adult sperm whale 16m long, which weighs in the range of 20-30 TONS and has been lying on its side on the beach for at least 5 or 6 hours, out through that surf zone and then hold it upright in the water while it gets used to floating again.

The best equivalent I can think of is if someone held you upside down by your ankles for 6 hours then turned you upright and told you to immediately run across a busy highway in a straight line, you'd need a little help and time to get used to being upright again.

Annual Tournament

Anri Jacobs

Between 4 and 12 January the annual rider's tournament was held in Swakopmund.

This year marked th the 57 Tournament held by the Swakopmund Reiterverein.

Overall 90 riders took part in the event, most of whom are made up of the coastal riders as well as some from the inland.

They also had 6 riders from Germany present at the tournament. For this tournament the course designer for the jump division was Heiko Wahlers. All of the riders dressed in official attire, and paraded with their horses through the streets of Swakopmund.

The Mayor of Swakopm u n d , J u u s o Kambueshe joined the riders in the parade to mark the official opening of the 57 t h tournament.

Fourth Dakar for Coma The toughest Dakar held in South America, with just 204 vehicles (78 motorcycles, 15 quads, 61 cars and 50 trucks, or 47% of those that started) making it to the finish, was dyed in the red and yellow colours of Catalonia.

With Marc Coma and Jordi Viladoms taking the top two places in the motorcycle category and Nani Roma winning in a car race ten years to the day after doing so on a motorcycle, the Catalan contingent blew the competition away in the 2014 edition.

Behind the two KTM riders, Frenchman Olivier Pain rounded off the podium after fending off the late attacks of his leader, Cyril Despres. In the car category, Nani Roma topped the Mini 12-3 with a narrow 5'38 margin over Peterhansel, becoming the third competitor to win in a car after triumphing on a motorcycle. 26-yearold Ignacio Casale also put his name on the prestigious list of winners, as the young quad rider took a home win that will surely earn him a thunderous ovation on the podium in Valparaíso. In the truck category, Russian Andrey Karginov held on to his lead over Gerard de Rooy by a hair's breadth.

The 36th edition of the biggest rally raid in the world started with a surprise, as Portugal's Carlos Sousa grabbed his sixth Dakar win and the first for Chinese manufacturer Haval. The overall winner's name was anybody's guess until the thirteenth and final special. The impressive performances of the SMG buggy driven by Carlos Sainz, who won two specials and led the overall after stage 4 but was forced to go home after a silly crash in the link section of stage 10; Giniel de Villiers, as consistent as ever, becoming the only driver able to take the fight to the Minis until the very end; and the controversy generated by X-raid's team orders for the last three days; the 2014 Dakar will go down in history as a unique edition!

Ignacio Casale takes the quad race! The evening after stage 2, the defending champion summed up the ferocious battle raging in the quad race. "The Dakar's just begun", said Marcos Patronelli after winning the stage and moving into the overall lead. Ignacio Casale had seized the lead in both classifications at the end of the preceding stage, from Rosario to San Luis. The Argentinean star dropped out the next day during the hottest stage in Dakar history, probably as a result of his high-intensity clash with the Chilean.

The quad race is getting more and more competitive, as proven by the fact that d

Casale still had to see off the repeated onslaught of Rafa³ Sonik and Sergio Lafuente. The Pole slowly run out of steam when faced with the leader's robust defence, while the Uruguayan had to go home after his engine broke down during stage 11. Casale only wrapped up his Chilean-style win towards the end of a rally that revealed Sebastian Husseini's fighting spirit. The Dutchman was rewarded with the bottom step of the podium. Qatari Mohammed Abu-Issa took fourth place, with promising rookie Víctor Gallegos rounding off the top 5. Franco-Italian Camelia Liparoti played her hand well again, finishing 13th out of 15 finishers and 40 starters.

Finally, the clash of titans between Iveco and Kamaz will have been a close one until the very end. Although the Russian team seized the overall lead from the get-go with Ayrat Mardeev and was still in the pole position with Andrey Karginov twelve stages later as the race came Valparaíso, the outcome of the 36th Dakar was full of suspense, reminiscent of some of the memorable battles seen in the motorcycle and quad categories over the last few years.

Kamaz's Andrey Karginov seemed set to take a win earned on the Chilean sands, but one obstacle blocked his way in the last special. Car no. 319 swerved and ended up stuck on the track of the last timed sector, just in front of the Russian, who lost 10 minutes. Meanwhile, his closest pursuer and winner of the previous stage Gerard de Rooy used his starting order to slip ahead. All in all, Karginov lost 9'34 to the Dutchman.

However, race officials deducted 5'20 from the time of the no. 306 Kamaz, handing Russia's Andrey Karginov his first Dakar win by 3'11 over Gerard de Rooy. Behind them, the other Kamazes hogged places 3 to 5, with defending champion Eduard Nikolaev, Dmitry Sotnikov and Anton Shibalov. It is a pity that this awesome edition had to go without the fireworks of Pieter Versluis, Martin Kolomý and Ayrat Mardeev, who had to drop out in stages 10, 9 and 3, respectively, while Aleš Loprais' Dakar was a mixed bag, with the Czech driver finishing in sixth place, over five hours off the pace.

Miernes van aktiwiteite by Jan Wilken Piquet Jacobs

Walvisbaai Sport Klub is op volle vaart uit die wegspringblokke betreffende voorbereidings en met die duidelike doelwit vorentoe om ‘n sukses te maak van die jaar.

Dit is amper tyd vir die rugby, netbal en krieket ligas om af te skop, en spelers sien uit na wat voorlê. “Fiksheid is waarmee alles begin en is op die oomblik prioriteit vir bestuur”. Ons rugby spelers het begin met harde werk, gedrewe deur Shorty Erasmus.

Hulle mikpunt is om die finale fase van die Premier Liga te haal hierdie jaar, en ons gaan seker maak hulle bereik hulle doelwit” het ‘n lid van die klub se bestuur Donderdag aan die

koerant gesê. Erasmus is 'n lid van die Namibiese Rugby Unie. Hy is 'n bekwaamde administrateur en ook 'n volwaardige afrigter en help net tydelik uit met die fiksheid van spelers by die rugby klub.

Lloyd Jacobs wat verlede jaar aan Kudus verbonde was en Herman “Beertjie” Engelbrecht wat vir United uitgedraf het, het die jaar deel van die rugbyspan geword en gaan meer krag bring, saam met die ander reuse.

Die spelers is gedrewe vir die jaar wat voorlê. “Ons gaan tops wees”, noem ‘n speler. Daar is ook ‘n uitnodiging uitgereik aan alle spelers wat wil deel

wees van hierdie dinamiese span, “oud, jonk, grys, bles, om te kom deel wees van die span”. Daar is altyd 'n behoefte aan spelers om spanne vol te maak en die wat belangstel kan met Johan Esterhuizen by 081 287 4717 kontak maak. Oefeninge is Dinsdae en Donderdae vanaf 18:00 by Jan Wilken. Die span komitee sal hierdie week gekies word en enige iemand van die gemeenskap wat belangstel om te dien is meer as welkom om ook met Esterhuizen kontak te maak. Die netbal span is

nie ver agter nie en het met voorbereiding weggespring met Nasionale spelers soos Jo-anne Kleinsmith, Salomé Swart, Caylene van Zyl en Ané Hanekom, asook nuwe spelers van ver en wyd in die span geledere.

“Ons wil die span wees waarmee almal moet rekening hou die seisoen”, sê die afrigter Belinda Bezuidenhout.

Die meisies lyk reg en is positief, en sien uit vir die sportjaar om amptelik af te skop volgens haar. Belinda,

beplan om 2 spanne in te skryf en nooi alle spelers uit om aan te sluit.

Spelers wat belangstel kan kontak maak met haar by 0814389465 of Wiida Boshoff by 081 463 4539. Netbal oefeninge is Dinsdae en Donderdae Vanaf 18:00, by die Jan Wilken Stadion.

OP PAD NA FIKSHEID: Spanlede van die Walvisbaai Rugby Klub besig om raakrugby te speel terwyl die Walvisbaai netbal spanlede ook hulle vaardighede opknap by die Jan Wilken Stadion ter voorbereiding van die opkomende seisoen en liga verpligtinge.
