800 bicycles bound for Debt Amnesty Announced: Walvis Bay rate port of Walvis Bay Eileen van der Schyff A 40-foot shipping container stacked with 800 bicycles is bound for Walvis Bay. The bicycles will be donated to Namibians who don't have the luxury of transport, often having to walk long distances to schools, to fetch water or going to work on foot.

The bicycles are the result of hard work and fundraising by students of Porter Gaud middle-school in Charleston South Carolina, in the United States of America, where a Bikes For Humanity Project is run under the leadership of the school's dean, Chris Tate. One of the super stars of the Project is eighth grader Sarah Quinn who on her own managed to collect 700 bicycles on her own

this time around.

Fundraising is crucial because it costs roughly 10,000 US Dollars to purchase a container and cover the shipping costs. In addition shipping cost just in 2018 went up by 60 % Whilst many people take bicycles for granted, Tate explained in a media release a bicycle is life-changing for millions of people.

The container laden with bicycles of all shapes and sizes made its way to the Charles-

ton Port yesterday and are expected to arrive in the Port of Walvis Bay by the end of January. The ship-ping container will be staying in Namibia and transformed into a community bike shop.

payers can settle arrears interest-free

Floris Steenkamp Rate payers and debtors owing the municipality of Walvis Bay money in arrears have a chance now to start 2019 with a clean slate. An amnesty to have interest on arrears cancelled and for the capital debt to be settled has been declared and is applicable retrospectively since 1 December. The amnesty period expires on 30 April 2019.

The municipality of Walvis Bay confirmed the amnesty earlier this week, following a recommendation passed in this regard by Council on Tuesday, during its last council meeting for the year.

“Very often our customers struggle to pay their municipal debts for various reasons. These unproductive debts accumulate huge amounts of interest and the situation spirals out of control for many customers. At the end, Council's debt book is inflated with debts that have a very minimal chance of collection. Interest on outstanding amounts is one of the main contributing factors to this debt”, reads the agenda of Tuesday's meeting.

Council further states that in order to assist customers, the amnesty period is declared. In fact, this is the fourth amnesty period since 2014, according to statistics provided in the agenda. During the first three periods a total of N$2 465 034-90 in interest was written off and the capital debts settled.

namib Seaflower Pelagic Processing ready times to start operations by mid-January SERVING THE COASTAL COMMUNITY SINCE 1958 namib times is registered as a newspaper by the Ministry of Information Technology and Communication

Floris Steenkamp A gentle giant is awakening in Walvis Bay's fishing industry. This gentle giant has a name: Seaflower Pelagic Processing (Pty) Ltd. Seaflower Pelagic Processing (Pty) Ltd just commissioned its freezers and expects to commence fishing ope-

rations early in January 2019, already employing 420 people and prospects to double this figure. The investment

to date stands on budget, at N$530 million.

The company expects to process 50 000 metric tons horse mackerel in

Seaflower Pelagic Processing takes huge pride in its two fishing trawler vessels Nordervon and Steinsund. Both vessels use refrigerated sea water to keep fish chilled at sea. The vessels have a capacity each to deliver 1,800 tons of fish per week, although half that tonnages will be landed to ensure high-quality fish.

Nordervon is unique in that it is a combination trawling and purse seiner vessel.

The vessel can therefore be used for both trawling and the catching of pelagic species like pilchard. Namibia currently has no annual pilchard quota, but once re-instated the vessel can be deployed as a pelagic vessel within a short period of time.

Steinsund (pictured above) arrived in Namibia from Norway on Wednesday.

Truck ablaze on the B2 Isaac Chikosi A delivery truck caught fire yesterday at around 05:00 on the B2 about 20 km from Usakos towards Arandis. According to police reports the right front tyre had a blowout.

The driver struggled for about 300 metres to get the truck to a standstill, and in the process a fire started onboard. Metal friction is believed to have caused the fire. The truck was completely destroyed in the blaze.

2019 and is looking at doubling its production output through joint ventures with other quota holders.

Namib Times was given an exclusive preview of Seaflower Pelagic Processing's processing plant recently. Without doubt this 14 000 square meters facility sets a new pace, both in Namibia and the other fishing industries on the west coast of Africa.

Contractors and staff of the company are working around the clock to complete the freezing plant by mid-January.

The freezing plant is one of three production units at Seaflower Pelagic Processing. The other production units are a fishmeal plant where off-cuts and broken fish will be produced into fishmeal and a cannery which comes into operation by mid-2019. At this cannery the company plans to produce canned fish under its own label: ”Princess Brand”.

The freezing plant employs 420 people. Most of the appointments have been finalised and everyone is ready for the plant's start-up”, ex-

plained media spokesperson of Seaflower Pelagic Processing, Ratonda Katjivikua, last Friday during the newspaper's visit. Adding the company's two fishing vessels employ 22 seagoing personnel in total, the cannery will employ 200 people and the fishmeal plant 12 people. Therefore employing approximately seven times more Namibians per ton fish processed compar-ed to sea frozen factory trawlers.

Contrary to the perception that Seaflower Pelagic Processors is foreign-owned, Katjivikua explained quite the opposite. The company is 40 % owned by Fishcor and the remaining 60 % is owned by African Selection Fishing Namibia which is turn is 95 % Namibian-owned and 5 % foreign owned.

“Fishcor brought a 50 000 tons horse mackerel quota to the table. Our processing facility has a capacity of more than double this 50 000 tons.

We explore opportunities to form joint ventures with other quota holders. These joint ventures stand to benefit

all parties involved and holds the prospects to create more employment opportunities for Seaflower Pelagic Processors”, further explained Adolf Burger, the General Manager.

Seaflower Pelagic Processors also shifted the benchmark when it comes to the finer details of employment creation. Apart from a strong gender balance (70 % women and 30 % men) and 90 % youth, the company went into detailed efforts to employ people from marginalised communities, disabled persons and youth. In this respect positions were reserved for three males and nine females from the Ovahimba communities and ten positions for people from the San communities.

The company identified men from the San communities already employed at Walvis Bay and invited their spouses living in the traditional areas to apply for positions at Seaflower. In this way these families can be reunited. (Also see report on page 3).

“It is a game changer for healthcare, a game changer for education,” explained Tate.

They donate to a different community in need every year. Last year they shipped 500 bicycles to South Africa and the same number of bicycles to Uganda in 2016. Tate went on to say, “The last shipment we sent went to kids that had to walk 12 kilometres or more to school,”.

Sarah Quinn had the following to say: “I just came into this as a little sixth, seventh grader and it's really grown. I knew my community was generous,” Quinn said. “When I started, I had a goal of 20 bikes and it kept going and going. That is incredible, it's the greatest Christmas present ever. It's the most wonderful time of the year.”

She said the hard work is worth the reward, especially when they see how it's received.

“This is amazing, but the best part is when we get emails with pictures of the people and you see the kids when they're jumping up and down with their helmets and their bikes and they're learning to ride,” she said.

Another star of the project is Juliette Lovell who has been part of the program since fifth grade. She's now a college-bound senior dedicated to service. “It just reminds you that service, it doesn't take a lot of time, it can be quick, and it can be really meaningful and change lives,” Lovell said.

The giant in pictures.....

The freezing plant has two grading systems and ten packing lines. The plant has a production output of 600 metric tons per day. Frozen valueadded horse mackerel will be produced here in 5, 10 and 20kg blocks as well as individually quick frozen (IQF) products.

Namib Times' Floris Steenkamp spent a most enjoyable few hours at Seaflower Pelagic Processing recently, where he was briefed on the mechanisms and processes by a team of highly skilled individuals whom were all head hunted for the new venture: they are Naomi Gaven (HR Manager); Ratonda Katjivikua (HR & CSR Director); Esmeralda van Reenen (Finance Manager); Rinus van der Westhuizen (Fleet/Technical manager); Pierre Le Roux (Operations Manager); Adolf Burger (General Manager) and Fabian Haufiku (Quality Manager).

Seaflower Pelagic Processing’s freezing plant is the biggest of its kind on the west coast of Africa with a 600 metric tons holding capacity at any given time. Such a massive freezing plant requires an equally powerful refrigeration plant (pictured above). In fact, it required 12 tons of ammonia to complete the refrigeration plant and represents the biggest single customer delivery of ammonia in Namibia's history.

The fishmeal plant works on a steam-dried system and has the capacity to handle 300 metric tons of raw fish (70 tons dry) off-cuts and broken fish per day.

All raw fish materials are stored in a sealed area before the production stage, preventing any forms of odours forming or serving as a breeding area for flies. The plant uses chemical scrubbers to minimise any form of harmful emissions.

The cannery will commence with the canning of horse mackerel by mid-2019. The daily processing capacity will be 120 tons raw fish per day which equates to approximately 187,200 cans of fish. Sea Flower Pelagic Processing can also can and process fish from affiliated fishing ventures in Angola, South Africa and Mozambique. The brand’s name is “Princess Brand”.

Where are tomorrow’s net-menders?

Namib Times recently encountered a small group of people mending nets at the new fish factory of Seaflower Pelagic Processing. Meticulously every tear or hole in the nets are repaired, a process that requires skill, patience and many days of exposure to the elements.

“This is a profession still practised by the older generation of people, the descendants of the pioneer fishermen of Walvis Bay”, explained one.

“There are very little young people who takes up this profession and net-menders are really a dying breed”, explained the other.

To the fishing industry net-makers will always full-fill a very important role. Fishing gear, including fishing nets, are very expensive.

That is for both the repair and replacement of nets.

It goes without saying therefore that net-makers will always be in demand and could be an option for young people who want to work with their hands.

Truck operators complain A truck operator says the traffic authorities should warn truck drivers in time that they cannot use the B2 coastal road on account of the holiday season. Many truck drivers are well underway towards Swakopmund from Walvis Bay when they are informed all truck traffic is diverted to the MR44 behind the dunes. In this instance yesterday this truck got stuck with its trailer dangerously across the B2 in attempt to make a U-turn and return to Walvis Bay, as the driver learnt he would not be allowed to proceed once at the road block near the Dolphin Bay police station at Dolphin Park.

Christiaan Fenwick Hulle saai dit op die radios al vir twee maande uit so hulke praat kak, ek is nie n trucker nie en ek weet dit George van Biljon Christiaan Fenwick sĂŞ hulle!!!

Hannes Swanepoel dis mos nie iets nuut nie... dis dan al so vir die afgelope 3j.

Shaun Fobian And who tries to U-turn a longhall truck on a B route?! Why not let the driver use the area at the Dolphin beach block in a controlled way?!

Carlos Figueiredo because at Dolphin beach he

is at the half way mark already, why make him drive it back, just finish the leg as its exactly the same nonetheless. There should be a temporary roadblock at the Wvb circle for such cases.

Anita Gous Roux Carlos, also from the Swakopmund side. Seen a few lorries these past 3 days from Swakopmund to Walvisbaai.

Denise Shepperson And tomorrow he does the same because he was allowed to the 1st time.

Elmari Verster Denise Shepperson net so...

Corne Kruger Wie het n goeie beskuit resep?

Manneckey Khoe-Aob The transport com-

panies/bosses are suppose to inform the drivers. Total ignorance. They know about it.

Shimene Du Preez Not in the transport industry but this will only happen if RA gives discount on MDC... Why would I send my tru k on a gravel road, salt road, and still pay MDC as if a tar road? MdC are hight.

Jaco Snyders Swak verskoning try ander een.

Gerson Guruseb It's been in place for years, poor excuse..

Suzette Dalton It was all over the news papers. The truck owners should advise their drivers accordingly. If you're driving your own truck you should stay abreast of whats happening. It has been the rule for quite a few years now.

Ana van der Merwe that's what happens when you have a shit excuse.

Henno Hentas There use to be a small A4 paper notice at weight bridge directing trucks to use the duneside road...other than that....if u spend weeks or months outside the country...and enter by visiting Swk first ur doomed not to know...but about this guy turning there....i bet he turned back for another reason...or he is not a namibian driver....

Ziggy Hentze All plead innocent when it hits them... Try Langstrand, law does not allow quads on public roads or restricted areas, but spend a day here and you wonder why there are laws, specially when a handful of minors provoke the residents, and those above the law too. My opinion!

Denise Shepperson Mooi! man. Se mos nog altyd hulle moet n slag teruggestuur word. Al hoe hul sal leer & luister. Dit is n instelling vir n paar jaar al, maar oor hul nog altyd weggekom het met daai kanse wat hul vat en nou kry iemand anders die skuld. Dit was ook geruime tyd voor Desember op radio, facebook & koerante. 10 uit 10 vir di een wat hul laat terugdraai het.

Willi Saunderson Ek reken daar is genoegsame padtekens wat die trok bestuurders vroegtydig waarsku ....... wys jou hoe let hulle op na padtekens.

Willie Du Plessis Willi Saunderson waar is die tekens in Walvis as jy dan so opletend is.

Kobus Coetzee Ek stem Christiaan ...dit is so ..en nog n ding die is die derde jaar wat daai paaie toe gemaak word vir trokke.

Mutatee Mengo Despite poor excuse given by the truck driver , he shuld have proceeded until somewhere the ground along the road is hard and make a uturn there. Police officers are not bad people that the fear of being given a ticket have forced the driver to make an inappropriate u-turn causing the truck to get stuck in the sand.

Ronelle Schade Boshoff Hoekom maak hulle dit nie in elk geval n permanente reel nie?

Chantelle Bosch Die soutpad vreet die trokke, maar hulle is nou besig om 'n highway te teer agter die duine, dan sal dit die trokke se pad wees.

Media Release

TRANSNAMIB'S Road-to-rail Strategy Taking Momentum As part of our Strategy to move more freight onto rail, TransNamib is developing various projects to achieve our objective.

During the past few months, we have been working with Ohorongo Cement on how to reduce the number of truck loads between Sargberg and the Northern regions of the country.

This partnership has yielded positive results as we were able to take more than 5,000 truck loads of the road between Otavi and Ondangwa.

Cement is now moved from Sargberg to Ondangwa Station where it is distributed to the local areas such as Ondangwa, Oshakati, Ongwediva, Oshikango and other surrounding areas.

This specific route is one of the busiest roads countrywide and this reduction of volumes enroute is definitely contributing a safer road and journey for passenger vehicles.

We believe that partnerships such as this with our clients will continue to assist TransNamib to grow freight volumes by rail, but also make our national roads much safer.

The concept of servicing the local surrounding areas through our stations such as Ondangwa is a concept that we are developing to service our customers better.

Protech Security cc merger with Erongo Axis Security:

Download the Protech Security Panic Button App today The collective experience of three security entrepreneurs is now at your service, under one roof. ProTech Security cc recently announced a merger with Erongo Axis Security and directors Hermi van Zyl, Jaco de Villiers and Klonkie de Villiers, all well-known names in the local and regional private security services sector, shared their excitement over this new venture. They were also particularly excited about the new “Protech Namibia Panic Button App” they are introducing to the market.

ProTech Security prides itself as a market leader in a wide range of service which include: alarm installations and maintenance, CCtv, access control, alarm monitoring and response, electric fencing, intercoms, DStv installations, guarding services and gate- and garage motors.

Installations are done throughout Erongo Region whilst response services are conducted at Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, Dolphin Park and Langstrand.

In a recent interview with Namib Times, Messers van Zyl, de Villiers and de Villiers elaborated on the new Panic App and also answered a few frequently asked questions over this cell phone application.

The App only uses your cell phone's GPS and data once it is open and being used.

In the event of an emergency, pre-programmed emergency contacts receive notifications by SMS with your location at the time the app was activated. The App is activated with just one press.

The person who activated the app can also be tracked remotely in real-time in the event he or she cannot talk or is on the move.

Notifications of crimes or suspicious activities near you can also be sent to you via the App and keeps you informed and alert. Similarly, the App user can easily report crimes and suspicious activities on the App and notify people in your community.

A map allows the user to view crime locations and crime hot spots.

The App also allows a user to be tracked by ProTech Security in the person is going into an area or situation they feel nervous about.

The App also has a recording function that activates by one touch. This device can for instance assist recording a person soliciting a bribe or in the event of verbal confrontations.

A selfie function allows you to instantly upload a picture of you, in order to be easily identified once the emergency contact person or persons locates and reaches you.

Frequently asked questions by users already using the App are answered: 1. Why does the App require all these permissions? Some App users are concerned about the number of permissions required. It is especially obvious in Android 6 (Marshmallow). In general, the App only uses additional permissions when the user initiates specific activities where these are required.

2. Contacts: emergency contacts can be selected from your phone's contact list.

3. Location: when the activate the panic button or the “Follow Me” the app can notify your emergency contacts or Protech Security (if you partner with us) of your location.

4. SMS: when you press the panic button it will send and SMS to your emergency contacts showing your location. It will also SMS the contact when the alert is cancelled.

5. Phone: this function on the App makes it possible to make a call to your emergency contact when you press the; button.

6. Photos/Media/Files: it allows you to add photos of yourself (at registration) or a crime (when adding an alert). The App does not perform this function in the background. You must initiate it.

7. Microphone: to record audio when you press the “Record Audio” button only.

Walvis Bay STEM Fair for Girls made headlines once again The Walvis Bay Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Fair for Girls has made headlines as seventeen of their learners was part of hundreds of learners from across Southern Africa, who took part in the South Africa Youth Engineering and Science Symposium(SAYESS) from 5 -7 December at the University of Pretoria's High Performance Centre in Pretoria.

It was the first time in their 6 months of existence, that Walvis Bay STEM Fair has sent learners to an event of this magnitude.

The 14 girls and 3 boys who participated in SAYESS are learners from Flamingo Primary School, Flamingo Secondary School and de Duine Secondary School.

The founder of the STEM fair, Anastacia de Klerk said “I would never have imagined that this project would be such a huge success. The learners went on fieldtrips to the University of Pretoria's Science Centre, the chemistry centre to make their own ice cream, the zoology faculty to research different animals and to touch spiders.

They also visited the mining faculty to go on a 3D tour and had lectures each night which included a scientist who worked on Marion Island, an astronaut from NASA and the chemistry Nobel prize winner, Sir James Fraser Stoddart.

Some of the learners even got a chance to see how money is made at South Africa Mint”.

Anastacia added that six of the learners were interviewed for Teenagers on a Mission

(TOMZ), which is a YOUTUBE show, and that the SABC studios in Johannesburg invited Selma Kalimbo and Raina Samuel for a T.V. interview about their projects early next year.

Sherrylin Auchas a Grade 6 learner said “This trip was definitely the best because I have learnt so much in the short time and winning the bronze award motivated me more to continually compete in science fair and this taught me a lot about my fellow students and teachers and it was a great experience”.

Selma Kalimbo a Grade 9 learner said “It was very interesting, I learned a lot seen so much and it was an amazing experience to participate in. I am very thankful for this great opportunity. I hope to participate again”.

Josephina Mbago a grade 7 said “The trip was amasing I really enjoyed it and it taught me a lot of things I am grateful to everyone who made this trip successful for us and for ms Dee I actually never knew I would be out of the country at such a young age but because of u I got the chance I appreciate u very much and I met new people and saw amasing

places”.

Helena Nauyoma a grade 6 said “For me the trip was really great and I had loads of fun and I got to know new people, see beautiful places and we worked together in harmony and the best thing is that everyone did their best and actually got something out of their hard work and I am looking forward for the future and thank u Ms Dee for everything and I hope whatever u do in life will be successful”.

Omagano Muzanima a grade 7 said “This trip was absolutely amazing. We learned things that we never even thought existed and learned to challenge ourselves.

I personally really loved this educative trip I look forward to more of them”.

Eric- Lesley Swartz a grade 5 learner said “My experience of the trip to Pretoria was informative. I gained a lot of experience to participate in the science competition especially the topic about insects and the experiment whereby we made ice cream out of liquid Nitrogen. To compete in this Science competition made me see Continues on page 17

science in particular from another angle”.

“It was a great honor and privilege to part takes in the competition. I can't thank God enough for making the trip and competition possible. Ms De Klerk thanks for believing in me by granting me the o p p o r t u n i t y. I have learned and gained a lot of experience. If given the opportunity again I will for sure do better” Eric- Lesley added.

Anastacia said that the Walvis Bay STEM Fair for Girls is planning STEM activities across the country which includes the National Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fair for girls as well as trips to South Africa, Dubai and the USA. In March, 20 learners will participate in a Science Festival in Grahamstown South

Africa. A STEM Camp for girls is also scheduled during the April/ May holiday and in August they plan to have a science tour to South Africa. In December next year it will be time for SAYESS and they are planning to take 20 learners to participate.

Anastacia said “We urge the public to support these types of projects as we are trying to expose the children to various opportunities.

We've already been approached by people who want to sponsor our children with scholarships to study science. We're doing it for the children.

“I would like to express my sincere gratitude towards everyone who supported us this year especially Debmarine Namibia, The Woman in Mining Association Namibia (WIMAN), Zenzi Awases who believed in the Walvis Bay STEM Fair from the get go and Mr Eugene Gariseb from Seaside Transport

as well as various members from the public who contributed towards the costs and a big thank you to all the amazing kids, their parents, teachers and mentors.

We are extremely grateful to them” she added. Anyone who is interested in sending their child on these trips or who wishes to sponsor any of their endeavors can send an email to wbstem. fair@gmail.com for more information.

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste

Weihnachtsmänner im Atlantikmekka Swakopmund Swakopmund (sk) Man sieht sie jetzt überall in Swakopmund, in allen möglichen Aufmachungen und Formen. Sie hängen an Dachrinnen, sitzen auf Dächern, Felsen oder im Schaufenster: die Weihnachtsmänner!

Wo aber kommt der Nikolaus ursprünglich her?

Santa Claus basiert auf dem heiligen St. Nikolaus, der im 4.

Jahrhundert im Ge-

biet der heutigen Türkei lebte. Er war für seine Grosszügigkeit gegenüber Kindern und Armen bekannt.

Am Todestag von St. Nikolaus, dem 6. Dezember, wird er weltweit am “SamichlausTag” (Schweiz) oder am “Sinterklaas” (Holand) gefeiert. Im 17.

Jahrhundert brachten Niederländische Auswanderer ihren Sinterklaas-Brauch nach Nieuw Amsterdam (heute New York). Aus

Sinterklaas wurde im Laufe der Zeit der amerikanische Santa Claus. The Coca-Cola Company liess sich damals (1931) von vers c h i e d e n e n We i h nachtsfiguren inspirieren und verhalf dem heutigen WeihnachtsBotschafter zu seinem charakteristischen Aussehen.

Warum ist der Weihnachtsmann rot? Verantwortlich für sein Aussehen ist der Cartoonist und Grafiker

In der “Muschel” ziert ein Schneemann aus Büchern mit einer Karottennase und einem Topf auf dem Kopf die Buchhandlung. Die Bücher, die schon seit Jahren unverkauft bei der DELG herumliegen, sind gegen eine Spende von Muschel-Inhaber Peter Reiner erworben worden, um diese originelle Weihnachtsdekoration aufzustellen.

Die Worte dieser Woche

Weihnachten ist oft ein lautes Fest:Es tut uns aber gut, ein wenig still zu werden, um die Stimme der Liebe zu hören.

Papst Franziskus Weihnachten ist kein Zeitpunkt und keine Jahreszeit,

sondern eine Gefühlslage. Frieden und Wohlwollen in seinem Herzen zu halten, freigiebig mit Barmherzigkeit zu sein, das heißt, den wahren Geist von Weihnachten in sich zu tragen.

Calvin Coolidge

Nicht auf Lichter und Lampen kommt es an, und es liegt nicht an Mond und Sonne, sondern dass wir Augen haben, die Gottes Herrlichkeit sehen können.

Selma Lagerlöf

Haddon Sundblom. Er entwarf den freundlichen Gesichtsausdruck und den weißen Bart und kleidete ihn in den Coca-Cola-Farben Rot und Weiß. Sundblom ließ den Weihnachtsmann symbolisch und gleichzeitig real aussehen.

Die russische Variante des Weihnachtsmanns ist Ded Moros (auch Deduschka Moros), “Väterchen Frost”, wörtlich übersetzt “Großvater Frost”. Er tragt ein blau-weißes Kostüm, was für Frost und Kälte steht. An seiner Seite ist immer ein kleines Mädchen, die Enkelin des Ded Moros, die Snegurotschka (”Schneeflöckchen”) genannt wird.

Viele Kinder schicken in der Adventszeit Briefe mit Wünschen

Bis zum Ende des Jahres 2018 ist das neue Buchbaby Locker vom Hocker 6 bei der Autorin zum Sonderpreis von N$ 250,- erhältlich. Die Bände 1,2,3,4 und 5 können bis Weihnachten zum Preis von N$ 200,- erworben werden. Susann Kinghorn; 0812538850; Mail: susannkinghorn@gmail.com

an den Weihnachtsmann. Diese werden in vielen Staaten im deutschsprachigen, angloamerikanischen und skandinavischen Kulturraum in eigens eingerichteten Weihnachtspostämtern gesammelt und zumeist auch beantwortet.

Das bekannteste Weihnachtspostamt ist das im brandenburgischen Himmelpfort in der Nähe von Fürstenberg nördlich von Berlin, wo jährlich mittlerweile bis zu 200000 Briefe aus aller Welt von ehrenamtlich tätigen Menschen beantwortet werden .

Frohe Weihnacht!

Wozu ein Weihnachtsmann doch alles gut sein kann: So manches marode Dach im feuchten Swakopmund muss von ihm festgehalten und stabilisiert werden - wie hier bei einer Wohnung im LionsAltersheim. Fotos: Susann Kinghorn

Bewahrt unsere schöne Natur!

Der 14jährige Dale Daniels, der die Pro Ed-Privatschule besucht, wollte am liebsten schon ins Hexenhaus im Cafè Anton hineinbeißen, aber da musste er sich noch etwas gedulden. Das traditionelle Knusperhäuschen, welches jedes Jahr von fleissigen Händen im Cafè Anton gebacken und zusammengebaut wird, stand nämlich bisher nur zur Ansicht dort und wurde erst gestern “geschlachtet”.

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste Adventsfeier in der Antoniusresidenz Swakopmund(rs) Zum 2. Advent wollte das Team der Antonius-Residenz seinen “Altchen” außer leckerem Gebäck und aromatischem Kaffee etwas Besonderes anbieten. Die Chefin der Seniorenresidenz, Petro Rabe, und Schwester Ruth Schubert luden somit Christopher Ströbl vom Funkhaus Namibia ein.

Der Radioansager und sein Hahn Pavarotti sind aus der

Barbara Mackensen (rechts) und Joey Grobler sangen eifrig mit. Im Hintergrund sind Christopher Ströbl und Susann Kinghorn zu sehen, die die Feier mit gestalteten.

Herr Klaus Ewert und seine Frau Susan sind erst kürzlich aus ihrer Wohnung in die Antonius-Residenz umgezogen und fühlen sich dort pudelwohl. Links neben ihnen ist Frau Martha Basson zu sehen.

Die Tische waren geschmackvoll dekoriert.

Hiltrud Becker hatte sich zur Adventsfeier richtig schick zurecht gemacht.

Sendung “Die Frühaufsteher” bekannt.

Herr Ströbl las einige Weihnachtsgeschichten vor und jonglierte das ältere Semester der Swakopmunder Einwohner mit gezielten Fragen in die Vergangenheit hinein. Dabei traten allerhand lustige Kommentare seitens der Senioren zutage: “Ich hab’ Sie mir ganz anders vorgestellt”, meinte eine Dame in der Pflegestation ganz ungeniert. “Irgendwie dicker und jünger”.

Und dann wurde auf

Locker vom Hocker Ein Wunsch zu Weihnachten

Liebe Küstenleser!

Nun steht Weihnachten beinahe vor der Tür.

Noch vor einer guten Woche war in meinem Garten und Haus keine Spur von Festlichkeit zu sehen: kein sich auf dem Dach räkelnder Mann mit roter Mütze und für diese Jahreszeit viel zu warmem roten Mantel; keine Lichterkette im Wilden Feigenbaum; keine Krippe mit den Heiligen Drei Königen vor dem kalten Kamin, die den Duft von Weihrauch verbreiten.

Das hat sich inzwischen allerdings geändert, und endlich ist auch im Hause Kinghorn der warme Kerzenschimmer der Adventszeit eingekehrt.

Begriff “pflegen” hier eigentlich ganz und gar nicht passt!. In diesem Falle geht es um die Plakate, die man in der Innenstadt aufhängt, um auf diverse Veranstaltungen aufmerksam zu machen. Wie oft hat jemand einfach ein Poster entfernt, um das seinige an dessen Stelle aufzuhängen.

Oder aber die Reißzwecken des bereits angehefteten Plakates wurden herausgepuhlt und zum Eigengebrauch benutzt. Deshalb habe ich eine Schachtel Reißzwecken gekauft und zig in die Pinboards vor und in der Woermann-Arkade gesteckt, damit genug vorhanden sind, um dem Klauen vor-

hör- und spürbar, dessen verführerischem Gesang man sich beim besten Willen nicht mehr entziehen kann.

Mein Violoncello wird nun erstmal zur Behausung für die Hausspinnen; das Coral Draw-Programm, das mir auf meinem PC für die Gestaltung meiner Zeitungsseiten dient, darf ganze sechs Wochen seinem Sommerschlaf frönen.

Und wo werden Sie mich finden, wenn nicht hinter dem Laptop oder der Kniegei-

Halt, ich habe vergessen, dem Weihnachtsmann einen Wunschzettel zu schreiben, wie damals in meiner Kindheit. Ach was! Ist doch nicht nötig! Denn erstens bin ich kein Kind mehr und zweitens bin ich tatsächlich wunschlos zufrieden.

Na ja, fast! Ich hätte da doch noch so einen klitzekleinen Vorschlag, den ich Herrn Werner Gossow unterbreiten möchte. Ich habe gerade ihn in diesem Jahr zum Weihnachtsmann mit Geschenkesack auserkoren, weil ich die Brauhaus-Arkade als äußerst attraktives Zentrum unserer “Altstadt” Swakopmund betrachte. Und da kam mir eine Idee, wie man bzw. er Swakopmund beschenken kann.

Diese Idee entstand, nachdem ich mich in den letzten Jahren immer wieder darüber geärgert hatte, wie Menschen mit dem Besitz anderer umzugehen pflegen, wobei der

läufig Einhalt zu gebieten.

Nun mein Vorschlag und Wunsch an Herrn Gossow: Wäre es nicht möglich, im Zentrum der Brauhaus-Arkade irgendwo eine moderne, gläserne “Litfaßsäule” mit verschließbaren Fenstern ringsherum zu errichten? Jeder, der dort ein Plakat aufhängen möchte, kann sich im Brauhaus für ein Pfandgeld den Schlüssel holen und sein Poster dort aufhängen.

Und die Swakopmunder hätten endlich einmal das, was sie sich schon seit Ewigkeiten wünschen: einen Knotenpunkt, wo alle Veranstaltungen unserer wunderschönen Küstenstadt sichtbar sind. Das wäre doch etwas, oder? Was meinen Sie, Herr Gossow?

Aber nun ist es an der Zeit, mich für eine gaaanze Weile von Ihnen zu verabschieden, liebe Leser. Der Urlaub macht sich als Lockruf der Sirenen

ge? Nun, ganz einfach!

Wenn Sie irgendwo eine Frau mittleren Alters im Liegestuhl hängen sehen, ein Glas Weißwein in der einen und ein Buch in der anderen Hand, dann müssen Sie wissen: das ist die Locker-vom-Hocker-Tante, die jetzt weder wissen will, wie viele Nashörner wieder wo massakriert wurden, noch wer alles als Verkehrstoter auf unseren Teerpads liegt.

Nein, ich will, wie SIE hoffentlich auch, einfach nur chillen und zu Duke Ellingtons “Wonderful World” unsere wundersame Welt in vollen Zügen genießen.

Ich bedanke mich bei all denjenigen, die mich bei der Zeitung in irgendeiner Form unterstützt haben, sei es durch Leserbriefe, eigene Berichte oder ermutigende Worte, und wünsche Ihnen nur Schönes. Wir sprechen uns im Februar wieder.

Ihre Susann Kinghorn

Bärbel Fritze fühlte sich sichtlich wohl, konnte jedoch wegen eines Kratzens im Halse nicht mitsingen. die Zeit der Petroleumlampen eingegangen: “Wir haben damals auf der Farm unter solch einer Lampe Mensch-ärgeredich-nicht gespielt”, erzählte eine AntoniusBewohnerin lächelnd.

Zwischendurch begleitete Susann Kinghorn die Senioren beim Adventsliedersingen auf der Gitarre.

Ein ganz tolle Adventsfeier, an die sich Alt UND Jung noch lange gerne erinnern werden.

The National Long term development plan of the NKF is to reach out to all areas (especially rural areas) of Namibia to develop all students to the best of their abilities and to send more students to national and international competitions to expose them to scenarios regarding the sport. We would like to give each student of all the clubs the opportunity to participate in as many competitions as possible. The NKF plan to reach out to all areas of Namibia and to all races, ages and genders through development as has been done in the past. Much development has been done by the NKF in rural and all areas, especially before examinations to motivate youth and motivational speeches were done on a regular basis by members of the NKF. The NKF has a shortage of coaches as it takes approximately 5-6 years to train an instructor/coach in Kickboxing.

The NKF (Namibia Kickboxing Federation) is currently registered in the Erongo (Walvis Bay and Swakopmund) and Khomas (Windhoek). We are committed to expand the sport to as many regions as possible. Three new clubs, Warrior Code MMA & Kickboxing Club, Kuyhosh in and Elite Defence Academy in Tsumeb has shown interest to register with the Federation.

The number of athletes currently registered to the NKF has grown exponentially with a Gender Balance of 60% Male, 40% Female 40% and 10% with a disabilities. The aim of NKF to reach out even further in future to accommodate more students and clubs. We are having a program in place to teach Self-Defence in schools, abused woman and disabled members of the communities in the country.

Club structure and figures: Combat Club Windhoek: 30 members / 1 coach Swakopmund Fight Club: 50 members/ 3coach Namibia RCFAI & Kickboxing Academy: 105 members / 2 coaches Warrior Code MMA & Kickboxing Club: 17 members / 2 coaches Walvis Bay Sport Martial arts Club: 78 members /3 coaches The NKF is affiliated to the World Organisation of Kickboxing (WAKO) that is recently being recognised as a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). We at the NKF are with the rest of the member countries of WAKO very happy for the decision made by the IOC. The NKF board and management would like to wish the Sport Ministry, the Namibian Sport Commission, the IOC, WAKO board, all sport men and woman, all their sponsors and all the affiliated member with their families a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2019.
