Following the suspension of the entire Omaruru Town Council by the Minister of Regional and Local Government, Housing and Rural Development, (Retired) Major-General Charles Namoloh, on 16 December last year, residents of Omaruru took to the streets on Wednesday, demanding the reinstatement of these councillors.

The suspension of the councillors followed after allegations of alleged irregularities, regarding the Council’s activities surfaced. Since then, the Minister appointed a special representative, Mr Linus Garoëb, to run the town’s

administration. The less than 50 protestors handed over a petition to Mr Garoëb on Wednesday, in which they give the Minister 48 hours to respond to their demands. Today is D-day for response to the petition and possible

camping on the municipal premises might follow, should the residents not be satisfied with the outcome. In the petition it is stated that the residents view the Minister’s decision as “the undermining of fundamental principles

of democracy and rule of law.” It further states that the minister’s actions have “violently undermined the Namibian Constitution (chapter 12 article 102).”

The Minister is also accused of putting himself in total breach of the oath

Employees "forced" to work on election day Leandrea Louw The vice-president of the Trade Unions Congress of Namibia (TUCNA), Mr Daniel Imbili, alleged yesterday at a media briefing in Walvis Bay that multi-national companies were failing to grant Namibian workers their right to vote, by forcing them to work on 28 November, the day declared a National holiday, for the National Assembly and Presidential elections.

Imbili said in his statements the TUCNA federation alleged they had received calls from their union members, from all over the country, complaining of being denied their democratic right to go and cast their votes for the upcoming elections next week.

“The multinational companies are all from South Africa and some from Namibia. They were all invited by the Electoral Commission of Namibia co-ordinator to attend the consultative meeting on Monday, 10 November, in Walvis Bay, and again on Monday the 17th, in Swakopmund, but many failed to attend.

The workers received letters and emails this week stating they had to report for duty, and by failing to adhere to those instructions, they would face disciplinary action and dismissal.

“Some of the giant stores extended the working hours up to 19:00. When will the workers have time to go and cast their votes?

Why don’t they look at letting their workers work half day or two separate shifts from 08:00 to 13:00 and 13:00 to 19:00 if they indeed care and respect the

Namibian Law. Minister Joel Kaapanda made this clear on TV to employers to take note of the importance of this day and why it was declared a public holiday, and why every Namibian have to express his or her democratic right, by taking part in this day, as this day only comes once every five years. Unions and workers are experiencing a lot of problems with this multinational companies and some local companies when it comes to conditions of employment and other benefits and labour laws are being violated.’’

“This is something that is contradicting the Namibian Labour Act 11 of 2007 and we have lodged a complaint to the office of the Minister of Labour, but we are still waiting on a response from them.’’

“Our request is now for the lawmakers to make an urgent request to all retail stores to refrain from hindering their employers to go and vote with immediate effect. This is not the first time workers are suffering even on Good Fridays and on Christmas Day employees are forced to perform their designated duties.

projects in a number of African countries.

Inkumbi notes that in addition to being the first largescale solar electricity generation project in Namibia, the project opens the doors for power generation by the private sector. He says, although large-scale power generation was previously the domain of the public sector, the successful trial of the project will create a receptive environment for more companies to generate power from renewable resources such as solar.

Mr Paulus Shilamba, CEO of NamPower, says Namibia has a shortfall of electricity, and the shortfall is expected to approach 650 meégawatts.

He quoted Shilamba, mentioning that Namibia currently generates only 39% of its own electricity. In 2015, he said, the cost of imported electricity is forecast to amount to N$2.4 billion but that this could rise to

N$10 billion in four years.

Inkumbi concluded by saying that the SADC power pool is in need of costly development and improvement, and that local generation will weather Namibia against costs and act as a buffer against fluctuations in supply from across the border.

Meanwhile, Energy Empire’s application for twenty-five hectare of land at farm 38 (near the Walvis Bay Airport ) for the construction of a ground solar plant, was approved in principal at Tuesday night’s Council meeting in Walvis Bay. Energy Empire (Pty) Ltd applied for the piece of land on 3 September, with the intention to construct a solar photovoltaic (PV) of 5 megawatt plant, which will cater for the Erongo Region. Much needed job opportunities will also be created and this project will also underscore the Government initiative of

value addition to Namibian products and ultimately creation of employment and skills transfer to Erongo residents and Walvis Bay in particular, the official Council document reads.

It was recommended that the applicant should survey the required portion of land and provide the Council with a lease diagram. Furthermore Energy Empire is requested to submit a concise project proposal, which indicates the time line of planning or and/or activities, within six months.

Once all of this have been received, a further comprehensive report with recommendations should be submitted to the Council for consideration. Should the applicant fail to submit the concise project proposal within the given time-period the Council resolution will be deemed cancelled and of no further force and effect.

The workers also say that their salaries are so low that they don’t even earn better or are paid double on that specific day, thus they don’t see why they can’t be given a chance to choose if they want to work or not.’’ ‘‘Minister of Trade and Industries, Minister of Labour and the office of the Prime Minister must act now before the D-Day.

The protestors claim that the suspension of the Councillors has sabotaged all development programmes in the town and thus demanded the unconditional reinstatement of

The spokesperson of the group, suspended Management Committee Chairman, Mr Christiaan Nanuseb, handed over the petition.

The protest was conducted in an orderly manner and the strong police and Special Field Force presence was unsought for, as per some of the residents.

Verhoogde tariewe by nuwe taxi-staanplek bevraagteken Liesl Losper Verskeie pendelaars is erg onthuts nadat taxi-eienaars, volgens hulle, skielik N$10 meer vra vir die roete tussenWalvisbaai en Swakopmund. Hulle het die knelpunt onder die aandag van die namib times gebring en hulle ontevredenheid gelug. Ons het ondersoek ingestel.

Taxi-eienaars voer glo aan dat hulle N$100 per maand vir die nuwe geriewe moet betaal, en daarom die tarief vir ritte tussen Swakopmund en Walvis-

baai verhoog het.

Die koerant het die saak onder die aandag van die operateur gebring. 'n Verteenwoordiger van United Ocean Transport CC, wat vir

die nuwe taxi-staanplek verantwoordelik is, Mnr Filemon Paulus, het toe aan die koerant bevestig dat geen taxi-tariewe eensydig verhoog mag word nie.

Tariefverhogings mag slegs deur die taxibeheerliggam, Napta verhoog word, na onderhandeling en wedersydse ooreenkomste.

Paulus het ook bevestig dat die eienaars van mini busse en taxi's N$100 per maand betaal, maar sê dit is net vir die instandhouding van die taxi staanplek, en die tarief mag nie van die publiek verhaal word nie.

Die minibus-bestuurders wat passasiers na die Noorde vervoer, sê hulle is hoogs tevrede met die nuwe staanplek, en die hoeveelheid passasiers en daar was geen oponthoude

Murder: Weapon owner in trouble Piquet Jacobs

The owner of the pistol used to shoot Louise Alupe may reportedly face a charge of negligence in handling a firearm. It was confirmed by Commissioner Otillie Kashuupulwa that the matter is under investigation.

“I do not have much to say, because I cannot confirm that the owner was really negligent – it is still being investigated on how the suspect got hold of the pistol”.

The owner of the gun is believed to be the suspects' uncle, whom he was living with in Kuisebmond, where it is believed he stole the weapon to fatally shoot his girlfriend Louise Alupe, after she had ended the relationship.

Watch out: Burglars on the prowl Crime Reporter

After numerous burglaries recently in Walvis Bay, the Walvis Bay Reaction Team voiced their concern regarding the lack of vigilance of residents, warning that burglaries are on the increase.

Nictus in Walvis Bay has been one of the latest victims of a burglary.

The newspaper spoke to management. They warned, “anyone who has a business selling laptops and cameras should be alert. The burglary occurred during the early hours of Saturday.

The culprits came through the roof and stole laptops, cameras, television sets and cell phones.” A case was opened at the police station.

According to reports and text messages that went viral country-wide, a group of 11 men is currently breaking in and entering businesses with weapons in Windhoek and surrounding areas. According to a spokesperson of the Walvis Bay Reaction Team, a vehicle with a Walvis Bay registration number is also on the prowl and she urges people to be alert at all times.

“Do not leave your vehicle in the street with valuable items inside. We have encountered incidents where

people simply leave valuable items in their vehicles that are easy to spot. We also come across garages being left open during the night and windows left wide open when there are not even burglar bars which are very negligent,” she said.

Burglars communicate with each other by marking houses with certain objects. Through this method they communicate to each other about if there are dogs on the premises, and whether someone might be home or not and if the residents are older people, who might be an easy target. The community is urged to be alert. Certain colours such as green, white and blue are also used as house markings.

Electricity switched off at the main switch is also a sign that you are being targeted.

“We ask every resident to work with us. Activate your alarm systems at all times. Your windows should be closed. If possible, switch lights on out-

side during the night. Make sure all doors are locked and do not leave valuable items close to windows or in your vehicles. Make sure your garage door is locked properly.

We encounter too many incidents where people are negligent,” she said.

She also urges the community to report crime. “Since the beginning of November until now we have had 28 reported burglaries, however, many people do not report break-ins. We need people to report this so that we can get the correct crime figures..

If you suspect any criminal activity, please contact the Walvis Bay Reaction Team immediately and report it to us immediately at 0818054945. Do not go outside to approach the assailants. Our aim is to catch them in the act.

If you plan on going away for the holidays, see to it that there is someone to look after your house while you are away,” she re-iterated.

Obtaining Fishing

Permits

Obtain a permit from the Namibian Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources (MFMR) to catch fish or dive for crayfish and respect harvesting limitations.

WHY? The marine resources are limited and currently some of them are overfished or over collected.

It is necessary that everybody uses them wisely and carefully to secure the future harvesting needs by protecting the stock. Quantity/number of marine resources harvestable, minimum size limits of fish and crayfish that can be caught, open season etc. help to manage stocks to avoid the total disappearance of some species in our waters.

Do not leave bait or fish on the beach!

Either take it home or return it to the sea. This food attracts scavengers like jackals and gulls that prey on other bio-diversity. When you are back home after the holiday, it also inflates the predator population.

Where can you get a license for angling, crayfish diving & bait/mussels collection?

Let's try it Urban Agricultural Garden Project to benefit from Environmental Fund Piquet Jacobs Today the Let's try it Urban Agricultural Garden Project will be receiving funds as one of 4 beneficiaries identified by the Environmental Fund of the Municipality of Walvis Bay to be financially supported in their environmental management activities.

The Walvis Bay Environment Fund is a grant programme that was established by the Municipality of Walvis Bay to finance activities and initiatives that facilitate the proper management of the environment and natural resources.

This fund targets the Walvis Bay community at large, and activities within the territorial jurisdiction of the Municipality of Walvis Bay. It is open to everyone, therefore institutions and the general public are encouraged to apply.

Applicants which are considered for the funding are expected to submit project proposals; that should support and be consistent with municipal management policies, plans and tools.

It is expected for the project to be particularly supportive to the municipality's "Integrated Environmental Policy".

The project should be successfully implementable, and have the capacity for adaptation and replication.

There is a need for local participation and should benefit local groups.

The Walvis Bay Municipality holds annual meetings with the local people, different institutions and organisations to introduce and explain the fund and to guide the

participants on the requirements necessary to complete the application form.

The four beneficieries identified this year, are: 1. Walvis Bay Bird Paradise 2. Namibia Dolphin Project (NDP) 3. Young Achievers : Walvis Bay Branch 4. Let's try it Urban Agricultural Garden Project The Let's try it Urban Agricultural Garden Project is being managed by the urban constituency and was initiated as a form of aid towards vulnerable community members of Kuisebmond to make a living and increase their living standards.

The project allows these individuals to plant and farm with crops, which they sell as a means of income.

They have started with a pilot program at the Urban Constituency office in Kuisebmond, where they started planting spinach.

The project will be expanding by using the environmental funds to prepare four hectares of land, situated 10 kilometres from Walvis Bay near Utuseb.

This will enable the individuals to farm with a larger range of crops.

The project was initiated in 2013.

Gruesome murder sends shockwaves through Swakopmund The Swakopmund community is still reeling after 46-year old Mr Gerson Kahorere shot and killed his 43-year old wife, subsequently turning the gun on himself, on Thursday night.

Monika Mayer People has to learn to follow the rules.

The President of the Republican Party - Do not blame Amupanda The controversy surrounding ex SPYL spokesperson, Job Amupanda’s land grab in Kleine Kuppe, yet again illustrates the inability of the Swapo government and the Swapo dominated Council of the City of Windhoek, to effectively address the problems surrounding land transactions and allocations.

What Amupanda did was illegal and the Republican Party will never support or condone any such actions.

We nevertheless have sympathy and understanding for the reasons behind Mr Amupanda’s drastic and dramatic actions.

Knowing full well that his actions will have dire consequences for him, Mr Amupanda nevertheless embarked on this chosen course of action in an act of total desperation, defiance and dissatisfaction with the prevailing land allocation issue as perpetrated by government and specifically the City of Windhoek.

It also mirrors the general public’s disillusion and discontent with the present situation in which justice, order, equity and fairness have no role to play anymore.

The Mayor Kafula’s son, Dillish and others get lightning quick favourable treatment, whereas Joe Citizen “has to follow procedure” and pay through his neck after sometimes terminally lengthy waiting periods for applications to be finalized.

Typical of SWAPO, they chose to play the man and not the ball, simply because they cannot or will not see the ball. Instead of

firing Mr Amupanda from the party, they should have sat down with him in a bid to uncover the reasons for this pathetic state of affairs.

Had they done so, they would have uncovered the reasons soon enough.

The entire crisis is caused by inept, incompetent, greedy officials and councilors of the City of Windhoek.

Instead of fulfilling their obligation to identify suitable tracts of land, divide these up, supply the required services and offer the plots for sale to the general public at the lowest possible cost, they choose to sell land to non-bona fide, but well connected “developers”, who in turn sell the land off to other “developers” who then develop and resell at hugely inflated prices.

This creates a chain of middle persons each taking his/her cut and rendering property prices totally unaffordable for the person in the street.

If SWAPO had embarked on an honest attempt to uncover the real reasons for this dismal situation, they would have uncovered a corrupt, self-enriching and mismanaged City of Windhoek municipality, which arro-

gantly sails forth on a course of no-accountability to anyone – especially the public and law abiding tax payers – for the sake of greed, political favours and hidden agendas of power mongering.

A brief scan of the newspaper reports of the past few weeks leaves no one in doubt about what has been happening clandestinely for many years and is now being brazenly perpetrated in broad daylight.

SWAPO, do the right thing! Don’t blame Job Amupanda -rather look in the mirror, for once recognise what you see there and take the necessary steps to redress the situation and show the general public that you care and that you are able to at least resolve one of the many serious issues confronting our country.

A good first step for Swapo could be to fire all their current City Councilors with those who are prepared to put the interest of the residents that they are supposed to serve before their own interest and that of their families and friends.

Signed at Windhoek on this 18th day of November 2014.

EBank NOW IS OPEN Christmas Party for Senior Citizens Leandrea Louw

The annual Christmas Party for Walvis Bay’s senior citizens is scheduled to take place on 25 November. The Senior Citizens’ Christmas Party is organised by the Office of the Mayor with material assistance from local businesses and it aims to showing appreciation to the senior citizens and as an acknowledgment to their roles they play in society, in general.

“All is not a secret that as Africans, we value our elders and by the same token we are cultured to look after them.

In essence, the elderly provide a reservoir of knowledge and experience which for all practical purposes remains at our disposal whenever we seek advice on matters troubling us.

Also, we further acknowledge the new roles our senior citizens are playing as an important active role-player in civic duties and the fact that they are important caregivers and

caretakers to our children as they take on their new roles as grandparents,” said Deputy Mayor Benson Uukumbua at the Council Meeting on Tuesday, where the announcement was made.

This yearly celebration started many years ago and has since become a tradition, where senior citizens have the opportunity to celebrate the spirit of Christmas with others and to catch up with long-lost friends.

Uukumbua extended a warm invitation to all senior citizens

within Walvis Bay, to join them for the event.

He said he wanted to inform all the relevant caretakers at respective senior citizens’ homes to ensure that the seniors would be picked up at the designated points and returned to their residences after the event.

Further details regarding the Senior Citizens’ Christmas Party will be made available through the media and through church announcements.

‘n Huisie by die see Madelaine Laubscher

Remax Coastline Property Centre, ’n bekende agentskap in Walvisbaai en regoor die land, is tans besig met ’n nuwe bouprojek van 139 vrystaande huise in Hentiesbaai.

Teenwoordiges by die vroeë Kersete

Rynse Kerk bederf oues van dae Marshallino Beukes

Die Rynse Kerk in Swakopmund het Vrydag hul senior gemeentelede met ‘n vroeë Kersete by Beryl’s bederf en 18 senior burgers het die geleentheid bygewoon.

Volgens Dominee Jonathan Van Wyk is dit ‘n jaarlikse instelling van die kerk om hul dank en waardering, te toon, vir die positiewe insette wat die senior burgers in die jaar gelewer het.

Elkeen van diegene teenwoordig het ook ‘n geskenkie en ‘n be-

draggie kontant ontvang.

Die geskenkies was die breinkind van die kerk se Vrouekring en het behoorlik die seniors se oë laat vonkel.

Ouderdomme van die groepie senior gemeentelede het van 50 jaar tot 96 jaar gewissel, met ‘n op-en-

wakker Ouma Anna Finnies, wat 96 jaar gelede die eerste lewenslig aanskou het.

Ná ‘n inspirende boodskap en gebed het die oues van dae weggelê aan ‘n heerlike maaltyd en volgende jaar doen hulle dit weer, sê hulle.

Dominee Jonathan Van Wyk oorhandig ouma Anna Finnies (96) se geskenkie

Volgens ’n woordvoerder by Remax, het die agentskap ’n alleenmandaat vir die nuwe projek.

“40 van die erf en huisplan-pakette is reeds verkoop. Die idée agter die projek is om aan elke persoon wat droom van ‘n huisie by die see, ’n kans te bied om dié droom te verwesenlik teen ’n be-

kostigbare prys, sonder om gerief in te boet.

Die ontwikkelaar – Hallie Investments 146 - sal eersdaags begin bou, en die projek sal teen die teen die einde van 2015 afgehandel wees. Daar is vier verskillende huisplanne vir 2- en 3-slaapkamer- woonhuise waaruit voornemende kopers kan kies. Die ontwik-

keling sal in ‘n baie netjiese woongebied in Hentiesbaai lê.

“Ons meen dit is ’n wonderlike kans op ’n huis by die see. Ons is baie opgewonde oor hierdie projek.”

Op ’n vraag oor oordragskoste op ’n sogenaamde “plot & plan” -pakket, het Remax kopers daarop gewys moet seker maak dat

hulle – wanneer hulle ’n erf met ’n huisplan koop – hulle nie oordragkoste gevra word op die huis, asof dit reeds gebou is nie – dis onwettig.

Daar is wel verbandkoste betaalbaar op die boulening vir die huis, maar geen oordragkoste mag op die huis gehef word nie, net op die erf.

Election observers' workshop commences A three-day workshop for the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Parliamentary Forum Election Observation Mission to the 2014 Namibia Presidential and National Assembly elections has commenced in Windhoek on Wednesday, to brief members of the mission on the state of preparedness of the Electoral Commission on Namibia (ECN) and other members on their roles as observatories for the elections due on 28 November 2014.

The mission's leader and Speaker of the National Assembly of Zimbabwe, Advocate Jocob Mudenda says the workshop and training will ensure that election observers add value to the election process. He says elections are the only legitimate means of acquiring political power and changing governments. “They provide the electorate with the opportunity to choose their political representatives.

It follows from this that elections must be conducted in a professional and transparent manner, guided by rules and procedures as outlined in the laws of the individual country as well as regional instruments to which our countries are party.”

He's highlighted the introduction of transparent ballot boxes that replaced opaque boxes, the establishment of independent election management bodies with their own administration and budgets to manage elections as improvements made to the electoral environment and processes.

This also includes the counting of ballots at each polling station in the presence of party agents, monitors and observers, and the signing of polling station results sheets by electoral officials and party agents and posting of the results at each polling station.

Representatives from Angola, Malawi, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Swaziland and Lesotho are attending the workshop which ends today.

Looking after your loved ones when you're gone A last will and testament is one of the most important documents one ever signs in one's entire lifetime. According to the Wills Act of 1953 a will and testament must be in writing, be signed by the testator, along with two competent witnesses. You must also appoint an executor as he or she will deal with your estate according to the terms of your will and the Act. Steve Shallenberger, author of the book 'Becoming your Best: 12 Principles of Highly Successful Leaders', famously said: “Action today can prevent a crisis tomorrow.”

While we tend to postpone the idea of planning our estate and drawing up a will, dying without a proper estate plan in place may cause havoc for the loved ones we leave behind.

“An estate plan has several elements: a will;

assignment of power of attorney; and a living will or healthcare proxy (medical power of attorney). When putting together a plan you must be mindful of laws governing estates,” explains Surihe Gaomas-Guchu, Corporate Communications Manager at Standard Bank Namibia. For some a trust will also make sense.

Taking an inventory of your assets is a good place to start. Your assets include: your

investments, retirements savings, insurance policies, and real estate or business interests. “Ask yourself three questions: Whom do you want to inherit your assets? Whom do you want to handle your financial affairs if you are ever incapacitated?

Whom do you want to make medical decisions for you if you become unable to make them yourself?” says Gaomas-Guchu.

According to her everybody needs a will. “A

will tells the world exactly where you want your assets distributed when you die,” explains GaomasGuchu. It is also the best place to name guardians for your children.

Dying without a will, also known as dying intestate can be costly to your heirs and leaves you no say over who gets your assets. “Even if you have a trust, you still need a will to take care of any holdings outside your trust.”

Trusts aren't just for the healthy.

Trusts are legal mechanism that let you put conditions on how and when your assets will be distributed upon your death.

“Standard Bank Namibia is able to support you with your estate planning.

We can assist you with: drafting of a will, safe custody services, fudiciary advice, as well as offering trust and estate administration,” says Gaomas-Guchu.

Dyslexia awareness week Madelaine Laubscher The Welwitschia School for Integrated Learning celebrated dyslexia week recently to raise awareness for individuals with learning disabilities, and to raise money through its “Shine-a-light for a child" project, to enhance their future.

“People driving or walking down Atlas street in the evening cannot miss our beautiful tree’’, says the principal, Werner Zerbe.

“Members of the public

Shine-a-light for a child

bought a light for every child struggling with learning difficulties. Last year, we raised approximately N$70 000. We are hoping for a similar amount, and figures look

promising. People can still buy a light or get involved – those interested can contact the school at 402233. “The lights on the big tree were switched on during a con-

cert earlier this month.

The awareness week was a great success.”

A large number of learners in Namibia struggle with reading problems, including dyslexia. Researchers have identified up to 26 different kinds of dyslexia. "Why am I in this school? Well, this school was the only one that accepted me. Other schools did not want me because I could not speak Afrikaans or English. I do struggle to keep up with work as my mind sometimes works slower.

However I still believe that I matter," one of the students said. Welwitschia School opened its doors in 2001 with 11 learners.

There are currently 232 learners. The school focusses on learners with specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, and epilepsy.

The school gives them the opportunity to main

stream education, following the Namibian Curriculum. The school strives, within an inclusive environment, to provide an opportunity to each learner to complete their school career and to achieve as high a standard as possible, irrespective of learning barriers. Class groups are kept small, between 8 to 12 learners in the junior classes and up to 15 learners in the senior classes. “We believe that all children should have access to appropriate education that affords them the opportunity to achieve their potential.

We also believe that with the right strategies and support, based on the diverse needs each individual child, nearly all children can be successfully included in main stream education.”

The school aims to actively seek to remove all barriers to learning and participation.

Developmental reading

disorder, also called dyslexia, is a reading disability that occurs when the brain does not properly recognise and process certain symbols.

Developmental reading disorder (DRD), or dyslexia, occurs when there is a problem in areas of the brain that help interpret language. It is not caused by vision problems. The disorder is a specific information processing problem that does not interfere with one's ability to think or to understand complex ideas. Most people with DRD have normal intelligence, and many have above-average intelligence. DRD may appear in combination with developmental writing disorder and developmental arithmetic disorder. All of these involve using symbols to convey information.

These conditions may appear alone or in any combination. DRD often run in families.

These learners are often labelled as incompetent, lazy, etc. because of ignorance or just a lack of understanding on the side of the teacher, parent or public in general.

“We believe that a large number of Namibian children in our school system don't reach their full potential as a result of dyslexia. Many people with learning disabilities (LD) struggle with written expression. For students with dysgraphia, the act of writing is difficult.

Those with dyslexia often have serious difficulties with spelling.

Also vulnerable are students who have weaknesses in areas such as vocabulary, reading and listening comprehension, word retrieval and information processing deficits. Dyspraxia—a disorder that affects finemotor skills and often cooccurs with LD—may also impact the physical act of writing,” Zerbe concluded.

Since then she has independently recorded two solo albums, extensively toured South Africa, Namibia and Botswana; repeatedly performed at all the major SA festivals (oppikoppi, KKNK, Aardklop, Splashy Fen, Up the Creek, White Mountain Folk Festival, Innibos, Mieliepop Fest, Rise&Shine Fest, Park Acoustics, STRAB in Mozambique...) and also supported the world-famous Sarah Bettens (K’s Choice) on a 10- day sold out European tour.

“Twenty Seven – it’s everywhere”, Andra’s independent music/dance production exploring the mysterious appearance of the number 27 in the Arts, was performed at Pretoria’s Atterbury Theatre to nearly sold-out audiences.

The production also received rave reviews and standing ovations during its festival debut at 2012’s Aardklop Festival.

Andra joined SA legend, Koos Kombuis, at Oppikoppi – Bewilderbeast (2013), with a very special performance of his song “Lisa se Klavier”, accompanied by Albert Frost and Schalk Jou-

bert.

They managed to silence a 10 000+ crowd of excited festival goers, and it ended in an explosive applause of emotional appreciation. https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=K3Kfig_sk7k Most recently Andra received a STANDARD BANK OVATION AWARD for her performances at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown 2014.

“This singer/songwriter presents something a little different to what listeners of contemporary music are used to. Her haunting sound and innovative melodies are sheer genius and leave you wanting more.

A blend of rock and folk sounds, this is a must-see performance. “ - CUE Newspaper – 2014 Fringe Review Andra has been compared to artists like Janis Joplin, Tom Waits, and Eddie Vedder, but she humbly replies: “I’m just telling stories – attaching the only sounds I know how to make.”

From here they go to the North- and Western Cape and will be completing their tour in the beautiful South Cape at Beyond the Moon in Hoekwil (Wilderness) on 13 Dec. Andra, well-known for her magnetic, straightforward honesty in her music spoke to the namib times on Wednesday on her way to Windhoek from Gobabis where she had performed on Tuesday night, “Wow, we are so lucky – the tour is going very well so far.

We’ve been so busy but at the same time we’re having a lot of fun. We started out in South Africa and worked our way to Botswana. Last night’s performance in Gobabis was great, I have never been to Gobabis.

We are overwhelmed by the hospitality of the people we meet, and the diversity of the crowds. I love it!”, Andra commented.

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste Eröffnung des COSDEF Arts & Crafts Centres

Swakopmund (sk) Verlässt man Swakopmund auf der B2 in Richtung Windhoek und hat den Kreisverkehr hinter sich, fällt einem gleich links ein buntes Gebäude auf.

Das funky Bauwerk ist das neue COSDEF Arts & Craft Centre, das vergangenes Wochenende offiziell eröffnet wurde.

Man biegt dann zum Swakopmunder Flugplatz ab und fährt sofort wieder nach links.

Dort befindet sich der Haupteingang dieses kunstvollen Zentrums.

Verschiedene Ensembles, Tanzgruppen und Bands traten zur feierlichen Einweihung auf

Taimi Frans aus Arandis verkaufte günstige Ledertaschen und -portmonees. Sie erwirbt Lederreste bei einem Betrieb in Walvis Bay und verarbeitet diese äußerst professionell.

Sie wird ihre feine Handarbeit auch beim Markt am 12. und 13. Dezember anbieten.

Ihre Handynummer: 0817143042

Hip Hop-Tanzlehrer Beans (oder Lazarus?) hält Tanzlehrerin Michelle Muller im Arm. Beide sind aktiv in der School of Dance von Anna JP Theron tätig.

- entweder auf der interessanten Rundbühne im Amphitheater oder vor dem Restaurant im geräumigen Innenhof.

Auch gab es wunderschöne handgefertigte Artikel zu bewundern und zu erwerben. Für das leibliche Wohl sorgte ein Restaurant, vor dem man gemütlich sitzen konnte, und die Sonne schien in voller Pracht. Allerdings hätte man sich eine zahlreichere Besucherschar gewünscht.

Das Zentrum ist jeden

Wochentag geöffnet.

Montags bis freitags von 8 bis 18 Uhr und samstags von 9 bis 18 Uhr. Außerdem soll jeden Samstag ein Markt dort stattfinden eventuell sogar mit Live Musik. Wer mehr über das COSDEF Arts & Craft Centre erfahren möchte, melde sich bei der Organisatorin Michelle //Inixas. Ihre Handynummer:08181 82928.

Schauen Sie sich dieses geschmackvoll entworfene Zentrum mit seinen hübschen Kunstwerken unbedingt an!

Mit dem Rauchen aufzuhören ist kinderleicht.

Winston Churchill Die Raucher vernebeln nicht nur die Luft, sondern meist auch ihren Geist, und so kann man leichter mit ihnen fertig werden.

Konrad Adenauer Rauchen ist ein Ritual, um böse Geister, wie zum Beispiel Nichtraucher, zu vertreiben.

Wolfram Weidner, Journalist Toleranz kann man von den Rauchern lernen.

Noch nie hat sich ein Raucher über einen Nichtraucher beschwert.

Locker vom Hocker Not macht erfinderisch!

Liebe Küstenleser!

Man liest in der Tageszeitung, im feinen Cafè vor einem dekadenten Cappuccino sitzend, von zwei Ganoven, die in Swakopmund drei Personen in einem Pkw mit vorgehaltener Waffe gezwungen haben, zu einem Bankautomaten zu fahren, um dort Geld abzuheben.

Automatisch entrüstet man sich über diese Dreistigkeit, nicht wahr? Dabei ist das kriminelle Duo - genau wie man selbst und alle Menschen dieser Erde einfach nur aufs Überleben aus. Das wird beim Weiterlesen dieses Vorfalls besonders deutlich. Aus unerklärlichen Gründen konnte dem Automaten kein Geld entzogen werden, woraufhin die Spitzbuben die Pkw-Insassen dazu zwangen, Drogen einzunehmen. Anschließend forderten sie die Opfer auf, zum Elternhaus im Stadtteil Meile 4 zu fahren, wo die Entführer sich als Polizisten der Drogeneinheit ausgaben und N$ 2000,- dafür verlangten, dass sie den Berauschten eine Nacht im Gefängnis erspart hätten. Das grenzt doch schon fast an Genialität, würde ich sagen, und man kann wahrlich eine Empathie für diese beiden Schurken verspüren.

Ich nehme jetzt einfach mal an, dass die Spitzbuben kein Geld hatten und sich deshalb etwas einfallen lassen mussten. Und dann frage ich mich: ,,Was würde ich tun, wenn es in meinem Portmonee weder raschelt noch klingelt, ich keinen Job hätte und in einer Welt, die von Geld regiert wird, einfach nur Zaster brauche.

Not macht automa-

tisch- erfinderisch. In der Zeit nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg hat man aus Löwenzahn, das eigentlich als Unkraut angesehen wird, Salate gemacht. Hierzu wurden die frischen Blätter verwendet, nicht die Stengel, die sind giftig. Die getrockneten, klein geschnittenen und gerösteten Wurzeln haben wiederum einen Kaffeeersatz ergeben, denn Kaffebohnen waren in der Zeit eine Seltenheit.

Eine Art und Weise, die desolate Finanzlage aufzubessern, ist das Fordern von Bestechungsgeldern. Kürz-

er würde die Arbeitnehmer dazu überreden, die Gehaltserhöhung von 8% zu akzeptieren, wenn er dafür N$ 5000,- bekäme. Das fällt ganz bestimmt nicht in die Kategorie eines findigen Genies wie Johannes Gutenberg, dem Sie es just in diesem Moment zu verdanken haben, dass Sie die Zeitung lesen können. Bestochen wird heutzutage näm-

"Auto Trophy 2014" AMG GT, C-Class and S-Class take 1st place

Stuttgart - Mercedes-Benz is in the fast lane. This is according to the readers of the German specialist motoring magazine "Auto Zeitung", who have chosen the three latest Mercedes models as the best cars in their class. As a result, the AMG GT, the C-Class and also the S-Class have been awarded the "Auto Trophy 2014" in recognition of their top rankings.

Once again this year, as in the previous year, the Mercedes-Benz star has shone particularly brightly in the poll conducted by motoring magazine "Auto Zeitung" for the "Auto Trophy 2014".

This time the readers voted the MercedesBenz C-Class the best mid-series vehicle, while in the luxury car segment the S-Class took top honours.

And when it came to sports cars, it was the Mercedes-AMG GT which crossed the finish line in first place.

Developed fully in house by MercedesAMG, the AMG GT

achieves true race track performance and thus a highly dynamic driving experience thanks to its front mid-engine design, intelligent aluminium lightweight construction and also its AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine rated at up to 375 kW. At the same time the super sports car provides high suitability for everyday use and high levels of efficiency.

The C-Class won favour with the readers with its modern, aesthetic design, highclass interior and also cutting-edge technology. Among its features

it boasts exemplary safety and high efficiency, and shines with impressively sporty and agile handling.

The S-Class impressed readers as the yardstick for technological advancement and luxury motoring.

Its unrivalled innovations include the MAGIC BODY CONTROL system, which makes the saloon the world's first automobile capable of recognising uneven road surfaces in advance and adjusting the suspension for an unprecedented level of ride comfort.

2015 Chrysler 300 has extra attitude Breaking cover on the eve of the LA motor show, this is the 2015 Chrysler 300C sedan, which seems to have picked up some fresh in-your-face mojo from its attitudinous bigger cousins, the Dodge Charger and Challenger.

And a lot of that is in its face, starting with a bigger grille, sharper headlight light clusters and a low, narrow but almost full-width lower air intake with wide-spaced dual foglights.

Engine choices - for now - are the familiar 3.6-litre V6 Pentastar and 5.7-litre Hemi V8, each now with an eightspeed auto transmission - with a rotary selector a la Jaguar in place of the former electronic gearshift lever, which has earned a reputation for not doing what it's told.

The V6 is rated at 218kW and 352Nm in the base and Platinum luxury variants, while the paddle-shift 300S Sport variant is tuned for 224kW and 357Nm. NO SRT FOR NORTH AMERICA The Hemi is good for 271kW and a walloping 533Nm, but there is no

mention of an SRT version for North America, although our source at Chrysler SA says he expects that Europe (and South Africa) will get an SRT variant, even though the timeline for SA release hasn't been finalised yet.

Unsprung weight is reduced by ditching forged steel axles for cast aluminium, and

electric power steering replaces the traditional hydraulic set-up, with an upgraded Sport mode that tightens up the steering as well as the throttle response and transmission shift points, backed up by an expanded suite of electronic driver aids.

Inside, there's a new 180mm colour display in the instrument clus-

ter, as well as a 210mm touchscreen for the Uconnect infotainment system, now with 'on demand' Wi-Fi. Finally, there's a new Platinum luxury derivative with premium leather upholstery on the dashboard, hand-sanded wood and satin-chrome exterior trim.

KTM SA lands all-new RC390 sportster * Wheels 24 The latest KTM RC 390 hit the streets of South Africa in November 2014 to, the bikemaker says, "show the brand's fast-forward attitude and the company's DNA".

It's a fully-faired sport motorcycle that "through first-rate, high-tech components, claims the best quality, refinement and lap-time potential" in its class.

The bike is, KTM says, road-legal but with a superior power/weight ratio and a capability for extreme lean angles.

Focus on performance The bikemaker says the flagship RC series machine follows the huge success of the 390 Duke naked machine with which it shares engines, but with an all-new chassis, riding position and Grand Prix-inspired bodywork has increased focus on sports performance.

A more sporty focus required a new chassis. Though physically

similar to the proven steel-trellis frame of the Duke, the RC's geometry is said to be critically different to live up to the ergonomics and riding characteristics of a genuine racer.

This, says KTM, means "a steeper steering-head, shorter trail and shorter wheelbase give the RC 390 a playful handling, true racetrack, capability with stability at any speed".

Differences to set the two bikes apart, claims KTM, include changes to the WP Suspension; less travel and firmer, more aggressive, damping characteristics.

At 43mm, the upside-down front forks have the same diameter stanchions as those of the KTM 1190 RC8 R Su-

perbike and add genuine racing equipment to ensure maximum stability and precision.

Four-piston brakes The engine is also identical to the Duke. KTM says: "The short-stroked, liquid-cooled DOHC quad-valve 375cc single delivers 33kW/35Nm under the control of electronic fuel-injection to deliver incredible response, robust power

delivery and great refinement; perfect for a true racing feel, combined with convincing real-world credibility."

Developed with Brembo, the brakes include a four-piston, radially mounted, calliper biting down on a 300mm front disc backed up by Bosch

ABS. "At 110/70 ZR17 front and 150/60 ZR17, even the Metzeler tyres have a racing size format," says KTM.

The RC 390 is ready now as an important chapter for the Austrian-based brand.

Price: R62 999.

Squash Notes The Seawork Business League was played at Buccaneers from 7-14 November.

It was a week of hard, competitive squash, with the teams all vying with determination to try and get their name etched onto one of squash's most coveted trophies. The four teams that participated were Erongo Auto Electric, Jewellery Boutique, Seawork and WB Hardware With a mixture of Singles and Doubles, play was always going to be lengthy and exhausting. On the final day it eventually came down to Erongo Auto Electric and WB Hardware playing off for the trophy, and Jewellery Boutique and Seawork for 3rd and 4th slot. Fortunately for Erongo Auto Electric the final round was only Doubles and with most of their players being frequent doubles players, they managed to pip WB Hardware by eight points to lift the trophy for the 3rd time.

Jewellery Boutique got the better of Seawork to take 3rd position.

Prizes were also awarded and presented by Peter Pahl to all the players and doubles teams who won all their matches: Clifford de Witt at No1 Lientjie Koekemoer at No 5 Chantel de Gouveia at No 6 Michael Stauder & Trevor Heath doubles at No1 Jaco & Clifford de Witt doubles at No 2 Lucinda Rodrigues & Chantel de Gouveia doubles at No 3 Special thanks go out to Seawork for the annual sponsorship of this popular event. The teams are no doubt looking forward to next year's tussle.

Table Tennis action at League Finals today Exciting table tennis action is expected this coming Friday evening in Windhoek when the Namibian Table Tennis Association hosts the league finals at Holy Cross Convent Primary School.

The day's action will kick off at 19:00, with the following semi-finals: Rogl Souvenirs ALeague: Ramon Hansen vs Bjorn Wasielke; Reinolt Schurz vs Charles Cui Yunke and Thema Trading Enterprises B-League: Leroy Beukes vs Reese Saunderson; Bregida George vs Jerry Beukes These semi-finals will be followed by the Doubles League final, played between Rudi Saunderson / Ramon Hansen and Fabian Tait / Bjorn Wasielke, which promises to display spectacular table tennis.

The evening's competition will culminate with the finals of the singles league played between the winners of the respective semi-finals. Entrance to the competition venue is free and spectators are welcome.

Welwitchias speel Vodacom Beker Namibië se Nasionale rugbyspan gaan vanaf aanstaande jaar aan die Vodacombekerrugbyreeks in Suid Afrika deelneem.

Die voorsitter van die Namibiese Rugby-unie, mnr Bradley Basson, sê die Suid-Afrikaanse RugbyUnie (SARU) het dit goedgekeur dat Namibië die 16de span, tesame met die 15 Suid-Afrikaanse spanne in die reeks word.

Namibië het hierdie versoek aan die SARU gerig en dié insluiting beteken dat Namibië baie beter voorbereid sal wees vir die beplande toetse vir Junie, teen Afrika-spanne en ook vir die Nasiesbekertoernooi en die Wêreldbekertoernooi.

Die uitvoerende bestuur van Saru sal die bepalings in Desember bekragtig.

Premier League football action this weekend Marshallino Beukes

Premier League action returns to the Kuisebmond Stadium this weekend, when the coastal teams will have to put up a big fight, in order to secure maximum points.

FNB Eleven Arrows and LHU Blue Waters are going to face two Rundu-based teams, United Stars and Julinho Sporting, respectively on Saturday and Sunday.

The kick-off for Saturday’s encounter between Arrows and United Stars is sche-

duled for 13:30, with Blue Waters and Julinho Sporting locking horns immediately afterwards.

Sunday’s games will start at 14:00. Both matches will be of cardinal importance to the Walvis Bay teams and a fully packed stadium will

definitely be to their advantage.

FNB Eleven Arrows supporters are invited to get their t-shirts at Nicro, for only N$ 100.00 and go support the team, as they are aiming to get maximum points this weekend.
