“This day will go down in Namibian history as the day when the first citizen of this country took a bold step and decided to position Namibia as a country that shine and adhere to principles of accountable governance,” the party’s spokesperson

Joseph Kauandenge said in a statement. He urged all other politicians across the country to follow Geingob’s example and declare their assets as well.

President Hage Geingob is worth N$50 million, while his spouse’s estimated wealth is between N$45

million and N$60 million.

Geingob announced this at State House on Wednesday when he declared his current asset base and that of First Lady Monica Geingos.

wa, hoof van die Mondesa polisiestasie noem dat hulle vermoed die ringkop van hierdie sindikaat is dalk onwetend aangekeer en het dalk onlangs borg gekry, of is intussen vrygelaat uit aanhouding.

Vermeende wilddiewe loop rieme styf Marshallino Beukes ‘n Wenk deur lede van die publiek het verlede Sondag aanleiding gegee dat drie mans op heterdaad in Swakopmund se Mondesawoonbuurt betrap is met vyf gemsbokke en twee springbokke se vleis, wat hulle vermoedelik onwettig in die Namib Naukluft Park geskiet het.

Volgens ‘n betroubare bron is polisiebeamptes van Mondesa ingelig van onwettighede langsaan die woning waar die beweerde wilddiewe in ‘n motorhuis met hul onderduimshede besig was.

Met die polisie se aankoms op die toneel het die manne blykbaar inderhaas spore gemaak en onmiddellik die polisie se oog gevang.

Die polisie wat aanvanklik niks gemerk het van die beweerde wilddiewe nie, het snuf in die neus gekry en ondersoek ingestel, waarna hulle op die vonds in die motorhuis afgekom het.

Volgens ons bron is dit ou kalante, wat al reeds vroeër ook in die sop was vir soortgelyke oortredings.

Na bewering is die vermeende onwettige jagters reeds Saterdag in die Park opgemerk en was dit net ‘n kwessie van tyd voor hul turf sou sit.

Die koerant het met inspekteur Nghaamwa, hoof van die Mondesa polisiesstasie gaan gesels en hy het genoem dat “Swakopmund te klein geword het” vir on-

wettige wildjagters.

Volgens hom het hulle (polisie) hul informante in die gemeenskap wat hulle op hoogte hou van die ou kalante.

Hy waarsku ook slaghuiseienaars, kapanna-verkopers en ander besighede om hulle nie met hierdie persone te bemoei nie en om nie besigheid met hulle te doen nie, aangesien hulle hulself as medepligtiges agter die tralies mag bevind.

Hy vra dat hulle liefs die polisie moet help om hierdie euwel uit te roei.

Inspekteur Nghaamwa het ook aangedui dat hulle slegs die vyf gemsbok- en twee springbokvelle op die toneel gevind het, en die moontlikheid bestaan dus dat daar meer diere betrokke kon gewees het.

Hy het afgeluit deur ‘n duidelike waarskuwing aan voornemende skelm jagters uit te stuur, “Ons weet dit is jagseisoen, maar kry liefs wettige lisensies om te jag en jag dan slegs in wettige areas, anders gaan julle met die volle mag van die gereg te doen kry.

“Hierdie skelms moet ‘n afsetgebied hê, waar hulle die televisiestelle verkwansel. Hulle breek in by huise, maar vat niks anders as die platskerm-televisiestelle nie,” sê Nghaamwa.

Die publiek se hulp in hier-

die verband word gevra.

Op dieselfde trant het hy aangevoer dat ‘n buurtwag in Mondesa glad nie ‘n slegte idee is nie en hy nooi lede van die publiek uit om sy kantoor te besoek en hierdie moontlik-

heid te bespreek.

“Dit sal ons baie help. Veral om huisbrake, wat een van ons grootste kopsere is, te bekamp,” het hy genoem. Volgens hom was daar al persone wat hierdie moontlikheid met hom be-

spreek het, maar ongelukkig het niks tot hede daarvan gekom nie.

“Ons menses sal ook moet ophou met die tendens om dinge te begin en kort daarna loop dit net dood,” is die inspekteur se mening.

Nampol Constable dies after roadblock accident Continued from page 1 (registration number – justme). She was stopped at the Walvis Bay entrance and arrested.

The officer was transported to Windhoek for medical intervention on Monday.

According to various sources the officer’s con-

dition was critical at the time and doctors suspected feared for her life. She allegedly had a broken jaw and various broken bones.

Nampol Deputy Commissioner Otillie Kashuupulwa confirmed to the newspaper yesterday that the officer had passed away.

“The officer’s name cannot be revealed yet because we cannot confirm whether her next of kin had been informed. Meyer will not be re-arrested as the court case had already been postponed to 30 June,” she concluded.

Dit wil voorkom asof dinge in die omgewing van die dorp bietjie warm geword het vir hierdie kalante, en hulle is glo nou in Mondesa, Tamariskia en ander woonbuurte doenig.

Die vergadering is deur die dorp se Munisipaliteit beroep, nadat President Hage Geingob die lynminister opdrag gegee het om Plaaslike Owerhede te noop om inwoners se insette, onder meer oor die behuisingsdilemma waaronder landsburgers tans gebuk gaan, te kry.

Hierdie bydraes vanaf die publiek word by ‘n hoëvlak-byeenkoms in Grootfontein (gister en vandag) bespreek.

Tydens die vergadering was dit duidelik dat inwoners se gemoedere hoog loop en dat hulle nie meer bereid is om gedienstig en gedweë aan te ploeter nie. Burgemeester, Juuso Kambueshe, het homself van die vergadering ver-

skoon, aangesien hy ‘n kandidaat in die komende Streekraadtussenverkiesing is, en sy adjunk, Anthony Bessinger het die vergadering gelei. Tydens sy verwelkomingsrede het Kambueshe egter erken dat deeglike beplanning nie, voor die massabehuisingskema begin het, gedoen was nie, en dat hulle graag uit hul foute wil leer.

Die grootste kopseer vir baie van die teenwoord was die feit dat die dorpsleiers nie met die inwoners kommunikeer nie en “slegs hul eie ding doen.”

Een van die inwoners het tydens sy spreekbeurt sy waardering teenoor die President uitgespreek, aangesien hy (President) waargeneem het dat daar

nie behoorlike navorsing gedoen was, alvorens die massabehuisingprojek afgeskop het nie.

“Indien plaaslike owerhede tot op grondvlak gewerk het en met die mense gekonsulteer het, sou hierdie probleme nie daar gewees het nie,” het nog ‘n inwoner gesê.

Klagtes rakende buitelanders wat voorkeur bo Namibiërs kry, wat werkverskaffing en groot tenders betref, is ook geopper.

Nog ‘n inwoner het die gemeenskap genoop om dorpsraadvergaderings by te woon, vrae te stel en betrokke te raak by die bestuur van hul dorp.

Sy het ook die dorpsleiers gevra om verantwoordelikheid te neem en

‘n platform te skep waar inwoners betrokke kan wees by besluite wat hulle raak. Verteenwoordigers van die DRC groep van Besorgdes het genoem dat hulle moeg vir vergaderings is.

“Julle kan in Grootfontein gaan vergadering hou, maar wanneer julle terugkom is alles nog dieselfde in die DRC. Ons het vir julle gestem, so doen wat julle veronderstel is om te doen,” is uitgevaar. Al die inwoners se voorstelle en kwessies gaan by die byeenkoms in Grootfontein bespreek en evalueer word.

Die President verwag antwoorde van die betrokke Ministerie voor of op 30 Junie vanjaar.

President Hage Geingob Lauded for Declaring His Assets

Continued from page 1

of this month but according to reports, the process took longer than anticipated.

During his maiden State of the Nation Address (SONA) last month, the president had attributed the move to the prevention of undue benefits accrued by public officials and to avoid conflict of interest.

Although the law does not require the Head of State to disclose his personal assets, Geingob said he feels obliged to do so.

“These disclosures will be made in line with the belief that transparency starts at the top. I am deeply convinced that accountability, transparency and inclusive leadership are for sustained socio-economic development and the improvement of the lives of all the people,” he said in his SONA. Geingob thus engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers Tax and Advisory Services (PWC) to assist him with an independent assessment of his assets.

PWC was also instructed to assist the president to prepare the financial disclosure report, which he presented to the public.

The assets include money in different Namibian and international commercial bank accounts and life insurance.

Geingob also owns two erven in Swakopmund and one in Henties Bay, three vehicles and 150 cattle.

“As can be seen these are all fixed assets and does not mean that I did not experience cash flow problems. During most of this time I relied on temporary overdraft facilities until I sold 39 hectares of land as ordered by court as a settlement,” he said.

The president spoke about how he accrued his current personal net asset value, amongst others talking about a house he bought in the Potomac residential area in Maryland in the United States of America for US$1, 025 million (approximately N$11,2 million). He sold that house prior to the subprime housing crisis for US$1,4 million (approximately N$15,4 million).

Geingob indicated that in administering a nation, one has to be transparent and accountable.

“My track record as pro-

ponent of transparency and ethical behaviour in government can be traced back to my tenure as Prime Minister of Namibia when I initiated a programme to look into the issue of ethical behaviour in government,” he said.

The president stated that he is familiar with hardship in life. He narrated that while in exile in Botswana since 1962, he began working for the Swapo party and slept in the cold for one-and-ahalf years with only one blanket.

“That time took its toll on me to the point where I have a very sensitive chest to this day,” he said.

Copies of the president’s financial disclosure reports were handed over to acting Chief Justice Petrus Damaseb for filling in the Supreme Court and the Director of the Anti-Corruption Commission, Paulus Noa for scrutiny.

Namibian First Lady Monica Geingos says her assets worth between N$45 million and N$60 million are primarily in equity, while President Hage Geingob’s wealth is mostly accumulated from

President Geingob and First Lady Geingos his salary and property.

She said this on Wednesday when the pair voluntarily declared their personal assets publicly.

Geingos holds shares in Ebank, Stimulus Investments Limited, as well as Pointbreak Property Unit Trust Management Company.

“There are other assets as well. The range of my equity assets is between N$35 million to N$45 million. In terms of property and bank balances, that ranges between N$10 million and N$20 million,” she said.

The First Lady could not give a specific figure, explaining that her wealth is created through different means. On his part, Geingob said that he will also declare assets that he would accumulate during his term of office.

He said conspiracies out there have it that he will accumulate more riches during his term of office, and made it clear that he has no problem to declare such assets during his tenure any time the public expects him to.

The Namibian leader explained that he is not re-

quired to declare assets according to the country’s Constitution, and in the same vein defended speculations that he did not make public all of his assets.

“I could keep these assets because its mine. I am not required to declare anything by Constitution.

I am standing here giving you my bank balances, now you are saying it will be a proxy. Bring the proxies; do your homework and expose me,” Geingob responded.

Recovered, stolen items headache for police Marshallino Beukes

The recovering of stolen items take a lot of police work and use of resources, but it seems the general public does not care, as long as their assurance claims are successful. This was the words of Inspector Eric Nghaamwa, head of the Mondesa police station in Swakopmund.

At the moment two flat screen televisions (silver Kolin and black LG), a black four-plate (KIC) electric stove, four front doors and more are at the Mondesa charge office.

All of these goods were recovered by the Mondesa police and members of the public, who might have been the

Inspector Nghaamwa with the recovered items

Robbery suspects apprehended Mavourlene Gaes

The two suspects Marshall Unaeb (25) and Muller Ariseb (32) that have been implicated in the robbery on “Usakos Wes” were arrested this week in Omaruru.

The first accused Unaeb was arrested on Monday between four and five in the afternoon at the Spar shopping complex in Omaruru.

The police found one Netman internet device, two t-shirts belonging to the farm owner, one key that belongs to a motor vehicle, one Nokia mobile phone C3, a knife, one HP laptop with its charger and two mouses and one key for a safe.

The police went on a stake-out and arrested the second accused, Ariseb, in

Omaruru’s Hakahana informal settlement around eleven, as he was coming out from his hiding place in the bush and headed home.

The accused allegedly had two mobile phones, a Nokia CE and a Samsung S5 cell phone as well as one 9mm Parabellum pistol.

According to Nampol’s Deputy Commander in the Erongo Region, Andreas Nelumbu at the media briefing yesterday, the police have recovered most of the reported stolen val-

uables, except for the N$5 000 that was in the glove compartment of one of the recovered vehicles.

“The total value of all the recovered items include two motor vehicles, namely one Amarok single cab and a Amarok double cab that they attempted to steal, one generator, duvet inners and duvet covers is around N$776 400” Nelumbu explained.

The robbery took place on Saturday when Unaeb and his co-accused Ariseb trespassed at Frederick Moller Jacobus Grey Pittius' farm

and attacked him and his farm worker Lombweleni Mafuka, tied them up with laces and tape before stealing Pittius valuables.

Nelumbu added that Pittuis is still admitted at the Cottage Hospital in Swakopmund where his condition is reportedly improving although he is still unable to use his right hand.

The two suspects appeared in the Usakos Magistrate’s court on Wednesday on a charge of robbery with aggravating circumstances and they were not granted bail.

Three Jap Japan vehicles still unaccounted for Mavourlene Gaes

The police in the Erongo region have so far recovered ten of the thirteem Jan Japan Motors CC vehicles that were reported missing late last month.

The Nampol Erongo Deputy Commander, Commissioner Andreas Nelumbu held a media briefing yesterday and updated the media on the progress the police have made regarding the matter.

The police first recovered six vehicles and have recently located four more across the country. Nelumbu said they recovered two vehicles in Okalongo and one in Rundu East.

“We recovered the fourth vehicle in Mariental in the

Hardap region” he said.

The cars were reported missing when the new owners of Jan Japan conducted stock-taking on the vehicles and noticed that 13 of the vehicles were unaccounted for.

Four suspects have already been apprehended in the matter and they have already appeared in the Walvis Bay Magistrate’s court, each on a charge of car theft.

They were denied bail and their case was postponed to 3 June for further investigations.

Murder accused granted bail Mavourlene Gaes Nicodemus Shivute David (22) made his second appearance in the Walvis Bay Magistrates’ court recently following the alleged stabbing and killing of his sister’s brother during the Easter long weekend.

According to reports that circulated in the media, David is suspected to have stabbed his girlfriend’s brother with a knife following an incident involving N$20.

It is alleged that the accused got into a confrontation with his girlfriend’s brother after his girlfriend

told him that she had lost a N$20 and she suspected her brother of taking the money.

Her boyfriend suspectedly became enraged and went on to confront her brother.

The two allegedly got into a physical confrontation leading to the stabbing of the victim, Silvanus Iiyan-

ga, in the neck. He succumbed to his injuries and died on the spot.

David appeared in front of Magistrate Vicky Nikolaidis who granted him bail of N$4 000 and postponed the matter to 30 June for further investigations.

Uraandiefstal - saak nader einde Ivan Jeffrey (24) en Onesmus Steven (40) het vandeesweek op klagtes van diefstal, onwettige besit van uraan, handel-, verkoop-, koop-, of ontvangs van hoë waarde minerale in die Swakopmund Streekshof verskyn. Die saak spruit voort nadat die twee (hulle was oorspronklik vyf beskuldigdes) gedurende Augustus 2011 in hegtenis geneem was, nadat hulle vermoedelik vier vyftig-liter dromme uraan konsentraat, met ‘n lae radio aktiewe vlak gesteel het.

Die dromme is by ‘n huis in Swakopmund gevind en daar is bevestig dat die gesteelde uraan van AREVA se Trekoppje myn afkomstig was.

Die saak is tot 7 September uitgestel vir pleit en verhoor. Onesmus het nie opgedaag vir die hofsaak nie en ‘n lasbrief vir sy inhegtenisname, wat vanaf 7 September van krag gaan wees, is uitgereik. Borg van N$25 000 is destyds aan hulle toegestaan.

Government committed to Kudu and Baynes projects Minister of Mines and Energy Obed Kandjoze says Government is working around the clock to ensure the realisation of the Kudu Gas-to-Power and Baynes Hydropower projects. Kandjoze gave this assurance during the opening of the two-day 2015 Mining Expo and Conference in the capital this week.

He said that in addressing power supply challenges, the government wants to ensure that all solutions are considered, taking into consideration the strategic flexibility of the country to ensure that

the Kudu Gas-to-Power and Baynes projects are realised. The 884 megawatt (MW) Kudu power plant will be located in the area of Oranjemund and is expected to be commissioned in 2019. The 300 megawatt (MW)

Baynes hydropower plant will be developed

by Namibia and Angola at a cost of US dollars US$1,3 billion (N$ 15,5 billion) and is expected to be commissioned by 2024. The hydropower project is situated along the

Cunene River, 200 kilometres downstream of Ruacana in the Kunene Region.

Kandjoze said other long-term solutions such as renewable energy are considered to be part of the energy mix for the country. He noted that Namibia remains a net importer of electricity and in order to address the situation, several generation projects are

planned in line with the National Integrated Resource Plan (NIRP).

Kandjoze stressed that in addressing the challenges posed as being a net importer and to meet the rising demand for electricity in the country in the medium to long term, Government through a Cabinet decision undertook to embark on the Kudu Gas-to-Power Project.

The minister said in

order to ensure that the project reaches financial closure and that electricity tariffs are affordable, Government issued a credit support to the project to this effect.

The project is estimated to cost about US$1,2 billion (about N$ 14,8 billion), and aims to increase power-generation in Namibia. “It is expected that the Kudu power project, which

represents the least cost of supply for Namibia, will replace the high electricity costs from imports and short-term supply,” he said. Over 100 mining companies and government institutions are taking part in the expo and more than 1 500 are taking part in the conference.

The expo and conference ended yesterday.

Parents overwhelmed by community's goodwill as Natrovinha undergoes 22nd operation Liesl Losper The namib times carried an article of Natrovinha Shelay David , the 5-year-old that was diagnosed with juvenile papillomas.

The parents requested financial assistance to help them with accounts and for her weekly injections. Yesterday she had her 22nd operation, and at the time of going to print she was still in the theatre.

After the previous article, her parents Petronella and Frankie Davids contacted namib times and said they were totally overwhelmed by the reaction the article evoked.

“On Friday afternoon, after the article was published, my phone started ringing . It felt so good to know that people cared for our child, and we shed tears of gratitude. Three individuals have opened their hearts already and bought four weeks' supply of her injections. Natrovinha is now smiling again because she can definitely feel the change that this action had on us as parents. For the first time in weeks we were able to sleep without wondering where to get the funds to buy her injections. We would like to express our utmost appreciation to everyone who assisted us financially. We are taking it day by day and these gestures make it easier for us.” If anyone would still like to contribute financially to help these parents with the costs, you can contact Frankie at 0816310243 for more information.

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?

Government reviews Moratorium on Marine Phosphate mining Mines and Energy Minister Obed Kandjoze has asked the mining industry to be patient as Government reviews and discusses the moratorium on marine phosphate mining. Kandjoze said this during the opening of the 36th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Chamber of Mines in the capital on Tuesday.

The minister was responding to the chamber’s concern that the 18 months period of the Cabinet moratorium on marine phosphate mining, which was declared on 17 September 2013, lapsed in March 2015 without much progress on the desired scientific studies to address concerns by the fishing industry.

“There is a committee tasked to review the moratorium and recommendations will be provided to Cabinet within the next few weeks. I urge the industry to bear with us in this regard,” he said.

Cabinet placed a mora-

torium on marine phosphate mining exploration to carry out research before allowing the exploration of marine phosphate offshore Namibia.

Speaking at the same occasion, outgoing president of the Chamber of Mines, Werner Duvenhage said the consultants engaged

by Government have produced a scoping report in which terms of references for the sea have been identified. The Foundation for Scientific and Industrial Research (Sintef) and the Institute of Marine Research were contracted to conduct the study.

Nambahu says his ministry is aware that local criminals are being used by a cartel and has urged the locals to be patriotic and disclose information that may help stop poaching in the country.

“There are honest and clean ways to earn your living,” he said.

The EIF has availed two Toyota Land Cruiser vehicles valued at a combined

N$1 million to the MET and NamPol to aid in antipoaching activities in and around the Etosha National Park and Kunene Region.

The EIF is an environmental financial institution established in February 2012 to help fund environmental projects in the country.

Minister of Mines and Energy Obeth Kondjoze speaking at the opening of the 36th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Chamber of Mines on Tuesday.

Duvenhage appealed to the relevant agencies of Government to find an amicable solution to the way forward without jeopardizing the interests of any stakeholders.

The Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Bernhard Esau, has report-

edly said the moratorium will remain in place until the study of how mining phosphate will impact the environment is complete and terms are agreed upon, and that he is still waiting for the report.

Deputy Minister of Environment and Tourism Tommy Nambahu says his ministry is aware that local people are being used in the poaching of elephants and rhinos. He said this during a sponsorship handover by the Environmental Investment Fund (EIF) of Namibia to the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, and the Wildlife Crime Prevention Unit of the Namibian Police Force (NamPol) in the capital this week.

ment from Sintef regarding the progress of the report proved futile.

Duvenhage, who is Managing Director of Rossing Uranium, said that while the government is committed to the co-existence of several sectors in the same eco-system, the slow pace at which the environmental concerns are being addressed is of great concern to the chamber.

“It is now clear that it will be several years before environmental concerns will be clarified, thereby hampering investment decisions and socio-economic growth by marine phosphate players,” he said.

MET and GIZ launch resource mobilisation for biodiversity project The Ministry of Environment and Tourism and the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) launched the Resource Mobilisation for Biodiversity Conservation (ResMob) Project on Wednesday.

Speaking at the event, ResMob Project Coordinator Ferdinand Mwapopi noted that the project aims to

improve Namibia's capacity to mobilise resources for biodiversity conservation, specifically to enable it

to implement the objectives outlined in the second National Biodiversity Strategy and A c t i o n P l a n (NBSAP2).

“The project aims for an effective implementation of updated biodiversity strategy in Namibia. The duration of the project is scheduled until March 2017 and it is commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Buil-

ding and Nuclear Safety,” he noted.

Namibia implemented its first National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP1) from 2001 until 2010.

It was internationally recognised as being one of the best first generation plans and provided a strong foundation for the sustainable management and use of biodiversity in the country, said Mwapopi.

In 2012, Namibia set about developing NBSAP2 which will cover the period 20132022 to build upon the foundation and directly tackle the threats and

challenges it faces in this area. Citing a review of the NBSAP1, Mwapopi said large parts of the national biodiversity targets could not be achieved or financed. Namibia required nearly N$500 million to keep the country's biodiversity healthy and resilient to threats for NBSAP2 over the next nine years.

The first action plan led to the implementation and proclamation of four new State-protected areas.

This includes Namibia's first Islands' Marine Protected Area, which covers almost

one million hectares of marine and sea area where 10 small islands and eight more islets or rocks provide sanctuary to a variety of life.

This area stretches over 400 kilometres from Meob Bay north of Lüderitz to Chaimas Bay south of the harbour town and 30 kilometres into the Atlantic Ocean. Speaking at the same event, the project's senior economist Olimpio Nhuleipo said the project will implement the System for EnvironmentalEconomic Accounts (SEEA).

SEEA is a system which organises statistical data for the derivation of coherent indicators and descriptive statistics to monitor the interactions between the economy and the environment and the state of the environment to better inform decisionmaking.

Another economist of the project, Ivy Muituti noted that activities in the project's capacity development component will include the establishment of the Environmental Economics Network of Namibia (EENN) to strengthen environmental economics in tertiary education institutions. ResMob Manager Dr Martin Nowack explained that training in capacity development for environmental fiscal reform will take place from 8 to 11 June to provide participants with an overview of the possibilities of an environmental fiscal reform.

“The target group of the training is decisionmakers and technical experts. The method of training is the case study method of the Harvard Business School,” he added.

The driver was later caught entering Walvis Bay? Did the police lose sight of the car at any moment between the alleged infraction and stopping the alledged driver? Is they did then the driver if inteligent can deny it?

So many holes in this case. I would beat this rap hands down and still sue the state for damages.

You must be highly qualified. Couch Attorney or Couch Advocate? Maybe too much Boston Legal and CSI on TV? Glad you not reperesenting me, please educate yourself and at the same time learn how to spell!

Why did he and his co-members not stop at the police to report that the dogs were stolen or killed? And I also believe when they got bail, the conditions were they may not have direct or indirect contact with the victims or

Why can’t you leave it that justice take its own decision? Now you also mentioned the police lady. Please don’t look for sympathy in the newspapers and it seems that you are threatening the people - which is also against the law.

10 NAMIB TIMES

I wish my son had rather been HIV-postive...

Tabitha Nankole

It is thirteen years now since I lost my nine-year-old boy to cancer. The pain is still as acute as the day we were told that he had an aggressive type of cancer and in exactly 10 months after being diagnosed my son was gone. The reason why I am sharing my story is because I read about the HIV/AIDS articles in the namib times campaign. It is amazing that children born HIV-positive are alive, leading healthy lives, in relationships and now 22 years-old or even older. I am not sure if cancer patients can live that long after diagnosis but now we know people living with HIV do.

Sometimes I wish if my son had rather been HIV-positive – he would still be alive and we would enjoy him just like

these children who were born HIV-positive and are leading normal and healthy lives.

It is high time people realised

that HIV is not a death sentence, and that there are many children born HIV-positive in Namibia, who have been tak-

ing their medicine well, and who live life to the fullest.

I am writing this message just to urge people who are

HIV-positive to be positive about being positive – and to enjoy life like any other person.

Keep taking your medication regularly. Eat healthy food and let the people who you dearly love know your status in order to get the necessary support you may require.

I realise that HIV-positive people sometimes face discrimination and suffer from stigma, because so many people are still so ignorant of the real facts about HIV and AIDS. Over the years there have been new discoveries about the HIV virus and treatment that improved the handful of tablets to maybe just three or less.

Bernhard Kamatoto, the HIV/AIDS SERVING THE COASTAL COMMUNITY SINCEactivist 1958 in the SERVING THE COASTAL COMMUNITY SINCE 1958 Erongo Region, is our hero who continues to writes inspiring stories that can help many people out there, who are afraid to let their loved ones know that they are HIV-positive.

My question to readers is: who is respected and draws support from people; Kamatoto, who has told the world that he is HIV-positive; or someone who is keeping his or her status a secret?

They take tablets whilst no one is watching - not even the husband or wife or boyfriend or girlfriend.

Family and friends, let us not discriminate against our loved ones just because they are HIV-positive.

It is sad that many people think AIDS sufferers got the virus because they were having many sexual partners.

What about these children who are now adults who were born HIV-positive?

Were they sleeping around or their parents?

What about nurses and doctors who everyday are looking after our children, parents and relatives who have the virus and sometimes are infected during care procedures?

Let us love our loved ones who are HIV-positive for what they are to us. Let the HIV sufferers see the importance of sharing their status with their loved ones as the campaign poster says.

Hiding will create stigma and lack of support when the need comes.

I am better informed by this campaign by reading the articles written by Kamatoto and that these children who are born HIV-positive are enjoying life like anyone.

Yes, I wish my son had rather been HIV-positive.

Kapwanga elected as Chamber of Mines president Johan Kotze from QKR Navachab Mine was elected as first vice-president, while Hilifa Mbako from Areva Mining was elected as second vicepresident.

The election process took place during the chamber’s 36th Annual General Meeting (AGM) in the capital on Tuesday.

Speaking at the opening of the AGM, Duvenhage said the mining industry is on a growth path unprecedented in the history of independent Namibia.

He said the industry has created new jobs and is expanding the tax base of

the fiscus with three new mines (B2Gold, Husab uranium mine and Tschudi copper mine) and reinvestments into existing operations.

Duvenhage noted that in 2014, mining and exploration companies collectively employed 7 903 people in permanent positions.

The total direct employment, including temporary employees and fulltime contrators, was 17 770, providing 1 061 more jobs than in 2013.

The outgoing president indicated that the mining industry spent some N$93.9 million on trai-

ning and skills development in 2014, and awarded 40 new study bursaries.

He stressed that the mining industry continues to support the Namibian Institute of Mining and Technology (NIMT) with job attachments and donations of used machinery for practical training at its three campuses in Arandis, Tsumeb and Keetmanshoop.

Duvenhage said the government has a major role to play and ensure the competitiveness of the industry by avoiding unreasonable tariff increases

and introduction of new levies.

He stated that the mining industry remains the backbone of the national economy for years to come.

Duvenhage recognised the close cooperation between Government an the chamber in shaping policy and legislation, saying that the relationship enhances the country’s opportunity to attract more investments into new and current exploration projects.

“This is the only way we can ensure the sustainability of the mining industry.

Through the activities of the joint Value-Addition Committee and current investments in upstream economic activities by some chamber members, the industry is poised to play a catalytic role in further mineral beatification and industrialisation,” he said.

He symbolically handed over the responsibility to his successor, while thanking the Chamber of Mines’ members and council and staff for their support during his tenure.

Duvenhage said he is hoping that the mining industry will continue

Construction of billion-dollar Husab Mine on Track Mine to start production early 2016

The N$24 billion mine is located about 60 kilometres (km) from Walvis Bay in the Erongo Region.

Over 1 200 people will be permanently employed at Husab Mine once it is fully operational.

Duvenhage indicated that the mine will produce about 6 800 tonnes of uranium oxide per annum, exceeding the current level of combined production from Namibia’s two uranium mines – the Rössing Uranium and Langer Heinrich mines.

He further noted that the mining industry ex-

perienced challenges in 2014, such as industrial action and retrenchment due to restructuring exercises.

He indicated that a Namdeb Diamond Corporation strike following a dispute on salary and benefit negotiations cost the company about N$10 million a day.

Of this amount, Government lost revenue of about N$8 million a day due to a two-week strike in August last year.

He further noted that more than 700 employees were retrenched in the mining industry due to restructuring pro-

cesses at mines aimed at sustaining operations, avoiding the placement of mines on care and maintenance, or avoiding mine closures.

Duvenhage, who is also the Managing Director of Rössing Uranium, noted that Rössing retrenched 204 workers, while the Rosh Pinah Zinc Corporation retrenched 120 workers and Okorusu Fluorspar 407.

The Okorusu Fluorspar employees were retrenched because of the mine management’s decision to suspend mining operations on 28 October

2014.

This was because high grade ore at the mine was depleted and the remaining ore was no longer economic to mine. Duvenhage however said about 30 em-

ployees were rehired on fixed-term contracts to carry on the care and maintenance of the mine, ongoing exploration and research and development.

Chamber of Mines president Werner Duvenhage said the construction of Swakop Uranium’s billion-dollar Husab Mine is on track and the mine is scheduled to start production in early 2016, with ramp-up to full production in 2017. Speaking at the opening of the 36th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Chamber of Mines in Windhoek on Tuesday, Duvenhage said about 6 000 people will be employed during its construction.

Cybercrime on the increase in SADC region Southern Africa is experiencing a significant increase in crimes involving computers and the Internet that are damaging their economies and securities. The global reach of the Internet enables individuals, criminal organisations and terrorists located anywhere in the world to use computers to harm societies, businesses and the securities of countries.

A three-day workshop on cybercrime investigation and electronic evidence took place in Windhoek. It was organised with the help of the American government and is being attended by participants from Botswana, Lesotho, Mauritius, Mozambique, the Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Namibia.

Participants are learning techniques for using cyber tools and methods to investigate crime, as well as how to collect and analyse digital evidence.

During the workshop, participants will also be introduced to online investi-

gations, forensic analysis and searching and seizing computers and mobile phones involved in criminal activity.

Law-enforcement experts will also explore some of the legal and procedural issues related to using electronic evidence in criminal proceedings.

Speaking at the official opening of the workshop on Monday, Prosecutor-General Martha Imalwa said there is a need for the establishment of a harmonised cyber law and handling of electronic evidence in order to make the fight of both civil and criminal cases easier as it is not confined to individual countries.

“We hope to achieve

this by modelling our law on the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Model Law on Cybercrime,” she said.

Imalwa explained that the purpose of the SADC model law is to provide a legal framework for the criminalisation and investigation of computer and network-related offences, such as cybercrime.

The Act aims to criminalise a wide range of illegal activities or content in line with regional and international best practices and to provide the necessary specific procedural mechanisms for the investigation of such offences. “Cyber security plays a fundamental

role in the continuing development of information technology and Internet services,” the Prosecutor-General said. At the same occasion, United States (US) Ambassador to Namibia Thomas Daughton said inter-connectedness facilitated by new technology carries infinite promise, but it also brings peril.

“Being inter-connected with the rest of the world means being vulnerable. No one is immune. Criminal gangs and organisations search continually for more and more sophisticated ways to use technology tools such as malware and botnets to obtain and exploit information,”

he said. Daughton explained that cybercrimes have the potential to threaten a nation's security and financial health.

“Happily, the same modern communication systems that criminals use to commit cybercrimes also leave perceptible tracks leading back to the criminals. It is those unavoidable and unerasable tracks and traces that law enforcement around the world can use to catch and prosecute cyber criminals,” he stated. In bringing together law-enforcement experts from Southern African countries for the workshop, Daughton said, the American Government hopes to help foster stronger law-enforcement colleagues from around the region. The workshop ended yesterday.

Namibia records another trade deficit Namibia recorded a trade deficit of N$26,2 billion in 2014, compared to N$17,2 billion in 2013. Senior Statistician at the Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA) Elijah Saushini revealed this on Wednesday at the launch of the Annual Trade Statistics Bulletin 2014 in Windhoek.

He explained that the widening of the trade deficit was reflected in a 23,2 per cent increase in the import Bill from N$73,6 billion in 2013 to N$90,6 billion in 2014. “Total exports increased only moderately to N$64,5 billion from N$56,3 billion when compared to a year earlier,” he said.

Namibia's key markets for exports were Botswana (N$10,7 billion); South Africa

(N$8,4 billion); Switzerland (N$7,8 billion); Korea (N$5,8 billion) and Angola (N$4,7).

The commodities mostly exported were precious stones (diamonds), ships, boats and floating structures, ores, fish and copper.

Concerning imports, Saushini said Namibia's imports were mainly sourced from South Africa (N$51,6 billion); Korea (N$5,9

billion); China (N$3,6 billion); Bahamas (N$3,1 billion) and Germany (N$2,6 billion).

Namibia's top imports are vehicles; ships and floating structures; boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; mineral fuels and oils, and electrical machinery and equipment.

Namibia's imports were mainly through the Southern African Customs Union

(SACU) (N$53,8 billion); the European Union (N$8,6 billion); Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC group) (N$5,4 billion) and SADC-Non-SACU (N$3,5 billion).

Namibia exported goods worth N$19,4 billion to SACU, N$8,6 to Non-SACUSADC, N$7,9 to the EU and N$2,5 billion to the BRIC. NAMPA

“My dreams... the reason behind my success” Sharlien Tjambari

Many people out there with the same dreams as those who prosper in life always wonder how others succeed while they are not able to. Ansua Hammerslacht, a 28 year old single parent, is one of the women who made it to the top with her modelling career.

“Hard work, a lot of tears and mostly my dreams, my dreams have kept me going and are the reason behind my success, and most importantly, my son Quein” said the successful Ansua.

Ansua will represent Namibia at the Ms Earth in Negril, Jamaica in October this year, as well as at the Ms United Nations in Jamaica in September.

The Ms Earth International Pageant was created to celebrate the

outstanding success a woman has achieved as a wife, mother, daughter, and friend and as a community leader.

Ms United Nations is more for women who have a passion for helping others through charity work.

These women volunteer from all over the world.

Ansua is the second oldest of four children.

She was born in Mariental and grew up on a Roman Catholic Mission at Stampriet.

Ansua loves writing and

is very passionate about poetry. “I hope to write a book based on my life as I hope it will be an inspiration to help others to believe in themselves.

During my free hours, I spend time with my family and explore different cultures and traditions in the country” she said.

Last year Ansua took part in the Ms Globe, which was held in China, Shenzhen in December.

She won the title of Ms

Not only did Ansua model for the Namibian wedding magazine, the 4th and 5th edition, but she is also the Face of Le Phenzo in Johannesburg, the 5th runner-up with worldwide votes.

Ansua started her modelling career as a promotional model because she needed money to support her only son, “my wonderful redhead son, my inspiration and motivation” she said.

According to Ansua, her first salary was N$1 500. Ansua is striving to launch her own foundation, she wants to have a shelter and open a school for the

less fortunate.

She is also dreaming of having her own clothing line and to be a successful woman in the community, a wonderful daughter, sister and a friend but most of all she want to be the best mother to her son Quein.

When asked, during an interview via e-mail, if she sees herself as a motivational speaker, her answer was, “Yes I do. I often get invites from schools to go and speak to upcoming young models.

I talk to everyone who seeks my advice, and I encourage and intend to keep encouraging our youth, our women, daughters, friends and even young men.”

Ansua is currently based in Windhoek.

Was passiert zum Beispiel mit einem bettlägerigen Mann, dessen Frau sich nicht mehr um ihn kümmern kann?

Schwester Joey und ihr Mann sind anfänglich mit dem Fahrrad zu solchen Senioren in Not gefahren, um ihnen zu helfen. Dann haben sie beschlossen, das Geld zum Kauf eines Grundstücks für eine Pflegestation vorzuschießen. Inzwischen ist durch die Spenden etlicher großzügiger Sponsoren ein Doppelstockgebäude auf dem Grundstück errichtet worden, das 25 Pflegefälle beherbergen kann.

Das Pflegeheim befindet sich vorne, und hinten sind vier Wohnungen gebaut worden, die an Privatpersonen verkauft wurd e n . D i e s e Wo h nungen sind nicht übertragbar an andere Personen. Sterben die Besitzer, gehören sie dem Pflegeheim.

Inzwischen konnten wir sogar einen Fahrstuhl einbauen, ein teures Unterfangen, das N$ 507 000, - kostete. Allerdings kann

ich mit Stolz sagen, dass wir inzwischen schuldenfrei sind. Das liegt einerseits an vielen Sponsoren, die sehr freigebig waren. Andererseits hat unser Komitee, bestehend aus Joey und Dirk Jankowitz, Dina Louw, Nicolene Thompson, Kobie van der Walt, Maritha Blatt und mir selbst, auch viele Dinge zur Generierung von Geldern organisiert, zum Beispiel Konzerte, Ausflüge und Pfannkuchenverkäufe. Schauen Sie sich meine beiden Zeigefinger an. Die sind nicht etwa krumm, weil ich Arthritis habe, sondern vom Pfannkuchenbacken!

Inzwischen ist unser Grundstück mit der Pflegestation und allem Drum und Dran knappe vier Millionen wert. Hier ist der HERR am Werk, und er tut Großartiges”, beendet Hennah Cronjè ihren Bericht.

Trotzdem darf der Verein nicht stillsitzen, denn Kosten gibt es noch genug, und das Sammeln von Geldern hört nicht auf. Deshalb findet am 6. Juni um 10 Uhr eine Teeparty im Golfklub von Henties Bay statt, bei der das Trio Feminale aus Swakopmund, eine Gesangsgruppe aus Henties Bay und der Geschichtenerzähler Dirk van Schalkwyk unentgeltlich auftreten.

Es werden 300 Karten zu je N$ 100, - ver-

60 Jahre Guinessbuch der Rekorde

Liebe Küstenleser!

Als das erste Guinessbuch der Rekorde 1955 in Irland erschien, ging es darin hauptsächlich um außergewöhnliche Leistungen von Menschen und weniger um die längste Zunge oder das hartnäckigste Durchhaltevermögen mit 87 Klapperschlangen in einem Bad. Höher, schneller oder weiter reicht jedoch schon lange nicht mehr aus,

Das Trio Feminale aus Swakopmund spendet seine Live Musik, um Gelder für die Pflegestation in Henties Bay locker zu machen.

Der Mensch ist die verrückteste Spezies. Er verehrt einen unsichtbaren Gott und zerstört eine sichtbare Natur...ohne zu merken, dass diese Natur, die er zerstört, just der unsichtbare Gott ist, den er verehrt.

Skeleton Coast Rally 2015

The hand-over at DRC Hanganeni School in Swakopmud Bikes lovers or to be more specific Harley Davidson lovers were served an action packed weekend, when the first ever Harley Davidson's Rally in Namibia hosted by the Harley Owners Group Namibia took place at the Coast.

Leandrea Louw The Rally kicked off with a thunder parade on Friday from Swakopmund to Walvis Bay, whereafter

the bikers enjoyed lunch at the Waterfront.

A total of 305 rally goers, that's about 280 Harleys and 25 pillions, took part in the Rally.

A charity auction along with lives shows by Double Trouble and Brown Paper Bag also took place at the Swakopmund Football Club later that night.

On Saturday the bikers extended a caring hand to the DRC Hanganeni School in Swakopmud, where they donated 2500 kilograms of food and N$14 000 for pullovers for the learners, for the cold winter.

They also donated N$14 000 to the Have

a Heart Foundation in Swa-kopmund and another $14 000 to the Erongo AntiPoaching Unit.

Different trophies were also up for grabs for the riders and bikes that represented the Harley Davidson image the most.

The winners are Reinhard Redecker who clinched the Jeep trophy; Zelda Erasmus pocketed the Concourse trophy for the ladies; the Dynaglyde trophy went to Reinhard Redecker; the Soft tail trophy to Christian Knickel; the Touring bike trophy was awarded to Ernu De Villliers; and the rotary plaque, for the best bike on the show, as voted by the public

Jeep M+Z with their “break-down” back-up Jeep went to Christian Knickel.

Jeep M & Z Motors were the proud sponsor of this event where the all new Jeep Renegade took the lead of the thunder parade followed by the “breakdown” Jeep for just in case.

M+Z Motors also sponsored the rental of the SFC grounds

for the weekend as well as a Floating Trophy, which Reinhard Redecker pocketed.

The raffle draw also took place on Saturday, where significant prizes were up for grabs. The first prize was a Harley Davidson, the second prize a cash prize of N$10 000 and the third prize a cash prize of N$4 000.

The winner of the third prize was Marius Aggenbach; the winner of the second prize was Packardt Keibel; and the lucky winner of the first prize, the Harley Davidson was Sarel Mynhardt. Sarel Mynhardt and his wife expressed their extreme gratitude and excitement for winning this huge prize. Christian Knickel, rally coordinator, described the rally as a huge success. “We can't wait to come back, as this year's event was only the beginning.

All we received was positive feedback, especially from the bikers who enjoyed the mass ride from Swakopmund to Walvis Bay and the public who enjoyed the Harley Davidson games tremendously.”

The next Skeleton Coast Rally will take place in 2017.

Walvis Bay Golf Club News

Jaans Stander sponsored our individual Stableford competition last Saturday. He was afraid to play for a medal, as he gets the jitters on his putting when playing for a medal.

33 Players entered and could be considered a good field if you take into consideration that in May we have lots of public holidays and players spend time with their families.

Excellent scores were played, but one man, he alone, made 50 stableford points.

Wouter van Wijk's handicap went up by three shots at the beginning of this month, and he played from a 16 handicap.

This certainly helped

him a lot. His handicap history shows no traces of such a high handicap and is it hard to know if his golf is on a low or whether his handicap is on a high.

Wouter, consider yourself a freak of nature or a ringer, you decide.

Mooi gegooi.

Deon Klynsmith with his Papwa grip also played excellent. He did not only win lots of money from his playing partners, but also won the jackpot. Well done. Golf nut Pieter

van Aarde is putting in many hours and lost the count out to Deon.

Two clubs Johan Swanepoel Jaans Stander- 40 meter chip in from the rough also counts Anton van Rensburg Piet van Niekerk Wouter van Wijk Mervin Nangolo Pieter Fox Chris Tempo 1st place Wouter van Wijk – 50 2nd Deon Klynsmith – 40 points 3rd Pieter van Aarde –

Regional Soccer Trials National Archery Championships The annual Scorpion Zinc U/17 Cup trials will be taking place on 27 May for Walvis Bay, Henties Bay, Arandis and Swakop-mund, from 15:00 to 17:00.

The 8th annual Namibian National Archery Championship took place in Tsumeb the past weekend of 16-17 May 2015.

Trials dates for Usakos, Karibib, Otjimbingwe, Uis, Omaruru and Okambahe are still to be confirmed.

The regional U/17 team has always been an avid participant in the annual Scorpion Zinc Cup tournament, where in 2013 they brought home a silver medal, and in 2014, secured fourth place.

Only 18 players will make it to the team that will represent the Mighty Erongo Region. Dates of the tournament will still be announced. For any more information contact Charles Muukua at 0811 49 0673.

The event, which was hosted by Tsumeb Archery Club and sponsored by the Archery Association of Namibia, had a total of 32 participants, including two archers from South Africa.

The first day was plagued with unexpected strong winds, making the competition all the more

Rossmund Golf Club News Mist, Mist, Mist and more mist once again this morning - with a bit of east wind, so I am sure the sun will be shining just now and we'll have a perfect day for golf.

Wednesday, 13 May our sponsor was Advertising Displays CC (Gerhard Byleveld) with some great Spar vouchers up for grabs. There was a good field of players and scores were very tight - three players coming in with 38pts - so lots of calculations. Cobus de Klerk eventually came out tops over Michael Ludeke, with Clive Lawrence taking the 9-hole competition.

Saturday 16 May was the annual Standard Bank Competition the change in format to a "Bogey +" did not seem to put the guys off, as a field of 42 players did battle, including some old/new faces and a very welcome visitor from Royal Port Alfred GC - perhaps they thought there were a few "overdrafts" up for grabs among the prizes.

There were 4 - two clubs: M Jacobs; J Du Toit and F Coetzee all on Number 7 whilst Fritz also managed one on Number 12.

Overall scores were very close, with the first 9 places being decided on count-

The 1440 Round had very good results in the compound division, with Johann Viljoen from South Africa, shooting a total of 354/360 on the 30m distance and Ilana Malan from Namibia shot 353/360 in her 30m round.

These were the highest scores for the day.

In the recurve division, Xander Reddig shot a very good 334/360 on the 30m round, with Adrian Grobler (331/360) and CF Brandt (328/360) shooting good scores as well.

On Sunday the wind also played a major factor in the scores, but the archers were better prepared for the stronger winds than on

Saturday. The competition on Sunday consisted of a 720 Round with eliminations and mixed team events.

The mixed recurve teams of Xander & Quinn Red-ig and Paul Grobler & CF Brandt provided excitement as the competition had to be decided on a one arrow shootout.

The more experienced Xander Reddig guided his younger sister through the competition, handling the pressure and clinching the Gold with his last arrow.

The compound mixed teams were an absolute pleasure for the spectators, with the more experienced Ilana Malan guiding Heinrich Joubert, who shot his very first Nationals.

The team of Babette Taljaard and Hendre van Eeden proved to be up to the task and clinched Gold.

See results in Tuesday’s paper.

Last year's Fly-in at Rostock Ritz

Fly-In: Big event for all aircraft, pilots and friends

Namibia Victorious!

After ten successful Fly-In Competions held at the Rostock Ritz Desert Lodge, this year’s event will take place at Uis. This aviation meeting will take place from 22 to 25 May 2015 at the Uis landing strip in the Erongo Region.

The Namibian U/20 Team made their country proud with their victory of 3612 over Hong Kong at the World Rugby Under- 20 Trophy Tournament in Lisbon on Wednesday.

Uis is the perfect spot for such an event due to low air traffic and a well-maintained landing strip of 1 400 meters long, also not forgetting the very picturesque landscape. Those were the reasons some of

Swakopmund’s pilots decided to get together and organise the event.

The participants can look forward to numerous fun activities like a “Schnitzeljagd”, spot landings, speed flying and “Bomb-

Registration and payment will be at the race venue, which is the XC Reservoir in Walvis Bay. The race will start at 08:00 and a N$100 entry fee is payable. A new route was set out, as last year some of the participants could not finish the 70km distance. Water points

Four of the players are from Walvis Bay. They are Chessborough Lawrence, Damian Stevens, Cameron Langenhoven and Corné Aggenbach.

This was the u/20 third game. Their first two games were played against Tonga, where they unfortunately were defeated with a score of 45-11, and against Canada, where they also lost, with a score of 35-20.

The team will return on 25 May to Namibia.
