Die uitslae van die vyf vakke was dus hangende tot Maandag. Die koerant is gister ingelig dat studente blykbaar gewaarsku was om nie met enigiemand, insluitende die media, te praat aangaande die situasie nie. “Moet ons dus nou maar stilbly en net so aanvaar? Dit is onregverdig dat

studente wat niks met die blykbaar gesteelde vraestelle te doen gehad het, onder dieselfde kam geskeer moet word.

Fisheries Ministry warns public not to consume molluscan shellfish Staff reporter The Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources, on Wednesday, sent out a stern warning to the general public, not to consume and/or harvest molluscan shellfish (oysters and mussels) from the Walvis Bay and Swakopmund areas.

the matter is to be heard, magisterial-, regional- or high court. This decision is due on 17 November. Witts decided to lay an additional charge against Vujicin for supposedly sexually mollesting her over many years in order to ensure that justice will definitely prevail for these young girls.

“I do not know what is going on. I reported the case for the first time at the police station on 6 September. I was told that there was no one from the women and child protection unit available and that I should come back the next day at 11:00. I told them I could not go that time, but I would come later that day. When I went there again, the women on duty were apathetic. They did not explain what they were doing. They kept me waiting without explaining that they had already called the detectives. When the detectives arrived I waited 30 minutes before I was spoken to. Two young male detectives read through my lengthy statement. After they were finished, they told me that “they do not actually deal with these things and only handle important cases like murder and theft.” They told me to return the following morning at 8:00. I did as I was told, but was then informed that they would only be available at 11:00 / 12:00 thus I should come at 14:00. Once again I did as they requested. But alas, nobody could take my statement. I gave them the address that I would be at and in the afternoon of 9 September, the two women from the Gender-Based Violence Investigation Division arrived at my friend's house, just before they were due to knock off duty. They started reading my statement and after reading about a third of it, said I should just print it out and sign it and they would finish reading it at the station. I was quite offended. I told a certain official that I have been struggling for three days to simply open a case but it felt like they are not interested in the case. I thus showed the officials video footage of an interview I had with Dragan in which he admitted to molesting me and also speaks about the four current counts of rape against him involving four minor girls. When I started playing the video, the police official said that this video was about me and my case. She said she wanted to see other information involving the other case. It was handled very badly. When they left, one of the officials assured me that she would handle the case personally and keep me in the loop. I provided her with contact details of relatives. I explained to her that my mother was immigrating to Cape Town by the end of September, so she should get in touch with her before then. I travelled back to South Africa on 10 September. That evening I contacted her to get my case number.

She said that her superior requested that I make changes to the closing paragraph of my statement. I made the changes, re-signed it and scanned it and sent it back the following morning of 11 September. On 17 September, this official said she printed my revised statement, because she had been very busy in court. I spoke to her on the phone another week later when she told me that the case hadn't been opened yet, because she was waiting for the regional coordinator to decide if it should be combined with the ongoing rape charges. I explained again that I was not laying down a charge of rape, but molestation as explained in my statement. I know Dragan is an active paedophile. I have seen numerous very young girls who live within 50 meters of him. I fear that they are in danger every day. I provided the evidence I have in order to have him arrested. I would have thought that this would be any detective's dream case. I thought that they would want to lock away a serial paedophile, but obviously not. I am at a loss. I spoke to the Erongo Regional Commander Commissioner Samuel //Hoebeb who referred me to another police officer, who claimed to have been on leave and in the wrong department, she gave me yet another person's details,” Witts informed namib times.

Vujicin was arrested in March 2014 after being charged with four counts of rape on allegations that he had raped several pre-school children (aged between seven and nine) in the Mondesa neighbourhood of Swakopmund, where he lived over an unspecified period of time. He was in custody for approximately one year and was subsequently released on bail this year, during March.“He is surrounded by young girls, just metres from his house in Mondesa. How can this be allowed?” she asked.

According to her, she, along with her older sister, were sexually molested by him for several years which was underway 38 years ago. “He abused me from the age of two to the age of 12,” she said. Witts is currently working on a documentary, namely Dragan's Lair. In this documentary she will unravel the journey of the grooming and the effects being a victim of sexual abuse. In an audio clip (which the namib times has a copy of), Vujicin admitted to molesting her and admitted to letting minor girls touch his private parts.

Here is a part of exactly what Vujicin said in the audio clip when he spoke to Witts.“The relationship like yours never happened in my life again. The longest and most intense sexual orientation was towards you. The rest were mostly like flashes, just a fling, I would say. You are the longest sexual relationship I had with anyone for a long time, because we were close family and it also went for ten years or so. It never repeated itself in the family. It just happened on the outside in situations where it was… like a fling. I build trust by accomodating children with the things they need and want.

It is a grooming process of how a pedohile operates. It starts with acting and keeping the young person or whatever it is on the same level. That means not distinguishing the difference… you treat the person the same as you would treat a grown up or a child. It is the same thing… And of course showering them with things they like.”

Witts wants Vujicin put behind bars so that no other girl will suffer sexual abuse under his hands again. “I decided to lay a charge of molestation to ensure that the rape charges that are already against him, will go to trial,” she concluded.

The newspaper contacted Nampol Chief Inspector Iikuyu and Commissioner Kashuupulwa for comment over the progress of the situation but could not be reached for comment. According to a trusted official, they are aware of the matter and will provide the newspaper with feedback from the police soon.

Erongo Expo going bigger this year “This year we have more international clients than last year and the demand is greater also. We have been fully booked since beginning September and are looking into getting more exhibition housing due to the high demand,” said Vanessa Erasmus from the Expo offices.

The NAMPORT Erongo Business and Tourism Expo opens on Wednesday for invited guests and Exhibitors and from Thursday at 10:00 it will be open to the public. The Namib Marimba Band and the Flamingo Primary School choir will be performing to complement the opening of the Expo on Wednesday. In the evening there will be a Gala dinner at the Town Hall at 19:00 with NAMA Award Winners Star Dust, Vernice Plaatjie and Salvador.

Gebroke de Klerk het lof vir die polisie Misdaadverslaggewer

Die Walvisbaaier mnr Willem (Wimpie) de Klerk, 'n hardervisser en algemene handelaar van beroep, het vandeesweek sy tevredenheid uitgespreek daaroor dat die Namibiese Polisie die verdagtes vasgetrek het in die moord op sy bejaarde pa.

Wyle mnr Willem de Klerk Snr

Wimpie de Klerk

Mnr Willem de Klerk (senior), self 'n oud-Walvisbaaier, is Sondag of Maandag op sy plaas Villa Rosa, sowat 60 kilometer suidwes van Usakos, vermoor. Vier verdagtes is binne ure na goeie speurwerk deur lede van die polisie op Swakopmund en in Windhoek in hegtenis geneem.

Hulle sou gister vlugtig in die Usakos landdroshof verskyn. Borg sou geweier word. Daar word vermoed die verdagtes het de Klerk, wat alleen op sy plaas was, Sondag of Maandag oorval en vermoor. Daarna het hulle met gesteelde goedere in een van sy voertuie gevlug. ‘n Papwiel het hul geen keuse gelaat as om te voet verder te vlug nie. Die verdagtes sluit 'n egpaar in, en ten minste drie van die verdagtes is voormalige plaaswerkers. Nadat de Klerk se verlate motor gevind is, was dit nie lank voordat gesoute speurders hul eerste

deurbraak kon maak nie. Alle gesteelde goedere is ook intussen teruggevind, aldus die polisie se segsman in Erongo, Kommisaris Otillie Kashuupulwa. 'n Gebroke Wimpie de Klerk het aan namib times gesê dat die moord op sy bejaarde pa 'n daad van uiterste lafhartigheid was. “Hoe moeilik kan dit nou wees om 'n ou man te oorval?” Hy het bygevoeg dit is onbegryplik dat jy iemand kan vermoor wat vir jou geen lewensgevaarlike bedreiging inhou nie. “Roof dan, maar waarom moet jy moor?” De Klerk kon net met groot lof van die flinke optrede van lede van die Namibiese Polisie praat. Hy wil nou sien dat die gereg sy verloop neem, en dat die skuldiges vir hul dade boet. Die saak teen die verdagtes sal na verwagting na die Swakopmundse streekshof oorgeplaas word, waar hulle sal teregstaan op 'n moordklag, roof met verswarende omstandighede en diefstal.

GRN institutional workers give Napwu the boot Marshallino Beukes Government institutional workers in Swakopmund are fed-up and expressed their dissatisfaction with the recently announced salary increment of 6%.

The more than twenty disgruntled workers officially withdrew from their labour

union, Napwu, on Wednesday.

According to them Napwu negotiated on

the 6% increment without consulting with them first. “This 6% salary-hike is a slap in the face and a drop in the ocean. We want at least 12% or N$5 000 per month,” the workers fumed. They accused

“Two months without a salary” – Madelaine Laubscher fisherman alleges A local fisherman working on a vessel for a company in Windhoek complained of being one of 23 fishermen, whom apparently have not received their full salaries for August and September and alleges that upon request, empty promises have been made up to now.

This fisherman, who wanted to remain anonymous, claimed that the 23 fishermen, working on a certain vessel, have received only half of their salaries for July, and never again, up to now.

“Our salaries have not been paid for August and September up to now. They owe us a lot of money and we are really struggling. We have to pay accommodation, we have children to feed and we need to eat. I myself do not even have money for a taxi to go to work now. We bring the fish, but we are not getting paid. When we contact the owner of the vessel in Windhoek, he told us, 'tomorrow you will get paid', but we have not received our salaries up to now.

The last time I contacted the owner of the vessel was last week Tuesday. He said we will get our money on Friday (last week), but it did not happen,” he alleged. The newspaper tried to contact the owner of the vessel who could not be reached at the time. He was thus informed via a message to contact us regarding the allegations, but it proved futile at the time of going to print.

Napwu of not doing anything for its members and only want their monthly contributions, which apparently range from N$28 up to N$68 per month, per member.

They did not go to their working stations since last Wednesday and according to the workers there was no sign of any Napwu representative, at least trying to give an explanation, or consult with them.

The workers include cleaners employed at the Ministries of Health and Social Services, Erongo Regional Council, Fisheries and Marine Resources and Sport, Youth and National Services.

Fireworks in municipal area against the law Madelaine Laubscher A trusted source provided the namib times with video footage of two persons who seemed to be playing with fireworks (flares) in the vicinity of Spur Walvis Bay on Friday night and according to a police spokesperson it is against the law and could have serious consequences.

The video (posted on the namib times facebook page) was sent to us by a reader and shows how, what seems to be flares, are thrown up in the air by two persons. “We were alerted about the incident and tried to catch them, but to no avail. Everyone

knows that making use of fireworks in town is against the law. No fireworks are allowed in town. Anyone who want to make use of fireworks, should do so far out of town. If caught using fireworks in town they will be fined,” the source said.

Traditional healers in crossfire Mavourlene !Gaёs

Nampol Unit Commander for Community Affairs, Sergeant Ileni Shapumba, sent out a stern warning to traditional healers to refrain from cheating people out of their hard-earned money.

According to Shapumba, a Walvis Bay resident, Petrus Haimbodi, reported a traditional healer last Friday, after he (Haimbodi) visited the healer for assistance to trace his stolen firearm. The stolen firearm was also reported to the police, the previous day.

“Haimbodi went to the traditional healer in Kuisebmond's Theo Ben Gurirab Street to find out who stole his pistol. Apparently, when you go to the traditional healers, you do not say what your problem is, you just go there and sit. The traditional healer then examines you to check what problems you have,” Sergeant Shapumba noted.

He added that during the process of scrutiny, the healer Brighton Phiri, better known as Dr Zivango by his clients, supposedly detected that Haimbodi had a problem with his business.

“He was also told that one of his ex-girlfriends is visiting a Zimbabwean witchdoctor to curse him and that one of his family members, an old lady, is practising witchcraft and also wants to curse him,” said Shapumba Haimbodi was then allegedly instructed to go and buy a bag of maize meal, eggs, a blade and a mirror.

Apparently he did what he was told and before he went back to Dr Zivango, he asked his brother to accompany him and be the witness. When they got there the healer supposedly threw the items on a mat in the room and part of the maize meal spilt on the mat.

Shapumba added that, when Dr Zivango apparently checked in the eggs, one of the eggs were broken and allegedly had an impact on the success of the witchdoctor to cure the problem.

He was then instructed to go back home and return at 18:00. On his arrival he was allegedly given an herb-mixture to drink by Dr Zivango's assistant herbalist Blesings Nkhulungo. Haimbodi was apparently also given a mirror and instructed that, on arrival at his home, he should put the mirror upside down, boil and drink the herbs and then cover himself with a blanket for 15 minutes. He was told to put the mirror in a plastic bag after he was done, not to look at it and return the next morning.

Haimbodi apparently returned the following day (Friday) at eight in the morning and was told there was a problem and his ritual may not be effective because of the maize meal that fell and the broken eggs.

Shapumba noted that, at this stage, Haimbodi already paid the traditional healer N$500, N$100 as consultation fee and N$400 for the identity of the person who stole his pistol.

After his last visit Haimbodi apparently smelled a rat and demanded his money back.

He also told the traditional healer the problem he came for was not that of a business, but for the tracing of his pistol.

Shapumba further said the traditional healer then suggested that he give Haimbodi a tube from a bicycle's wheel which he should put air into.

He was apparently told that while putting air into the tube, the stomach of the culprit who took his fire-arm will experience a severe stomach ache and return the pistol.

Haimbodi, however, still stood firm and demanded his money back.

“He was given the money, but it had been taken out of a calabash and was wet. That is apparently where they put the money every time they cure people.”

Haimbodi reportedly refused the wet money and threw it on the floor, subsequently reporting the matter at the police station.

At the station, Haimbodi supposedly challenged the traditional healer by telling him he will pay him N$3 000 if he unmasks the person who took his pistol. The traditional healer said he will not continue with Haimbodi anymore, because he does not have trust in him.”

Although Phiri was not charged and there is no law stopping traditional healers from operating, Shapumba has warned them (traditional healers) to stop making fabricated statements which can result in family feuds and destroy relationships.

“The community members are also not innocent, as they are the ones going to the people (traditional healers). They are the ones that expose themselves to this cheating,” Shapumba concluded.

“Private person to assist in arrest when called upon” Contributed by Sergeant Shapumba the Community Affairs Officer at Nampol's Regional Headquarters in Walvis Bay On a daily basis, during Police operations, we came across members of the public unwillingly and willingly refusing to assist the Police when requested or instructed to do so.

It is civic duty for us all as citizens to condemn illegal activities and make sure that those that are committing crimes are arrested, detained and undergo criminal procedures.

We wish therefore to bring under the attention of our community the provision in terms of Criminal Procedure Act, 51/1977 as amended, Sec. 47 (Private person to assist in arrest when called upon).

1. Every inhabitant of the Republic of Namibia of an age not below 16 and not exceeding sixty years shall, when called upon by any police official to do so, assist such police official to: 1.1. Arrest any person; 1.2. Detain any person so arrested.

2. Any person who without sufficient cause, fails to assist a police official as provided in subsection (1) shall be guilty of an offense and liable on conviction to a fine or imprisonment.

Further reference can be made to Section 29 of the same Act (Search of arrested person/premises to be conducted in a decent and orderly manner). It is fundamental human rights of any person, that any search to be conducted on a person or premises shall be done with strict regard to decency and order. Therefore a woman shall be searched by a female police officer only and a man by a police man. If there is a police officer of the same sex as that of the person to be searched, a police officer may designate a private person of the applicable sex for that purpose.

The laws suggests that, any person who refused to comply with instruction of the police officer without valid cause will make himself guilty of the contravention of these sections.

Swakopmund Matters “Deep Sea Mining a New Ocean Threat” by Prof. Richard Steiner Below is the text of Prof. Steiner's thought-provoking article. In it he makes serious points which are most compelling and valid. These are some of them: · Clearly we need to avoid such ecological damage. Before any deep sea mining moves ahead, we would need much more extensive scientific research species identification, community ecology, distribution, genetics, life histories, resettlement patterns, resilience to disturbance, and at least a 10-year continuous time series of observations to understand dynamics of proposed mining sites overtime. In addition, we need more robust management regimes at the ISA and in coastal nations, royalty-sharing and liability agreements, stakeholder engagement, and significant advancements in subsea technology.

Until this is achieved, the only wise policy is a global moratorium on all deep sea mining. · This emerging industry would result in serious impacts to our oceans, so it is critical for civil society to engage now, in the early stages of exploration and development. It would be truly unfortunate if we allow the same industrial paradigm that destroyed much of the terrestrial ecosystems of our home planet to do the same in the deep sea.

It is time to change this model.

This is a very big deal, and we need to pay close attention. Groups such as the Deep Sea Mining Campaign, MiningWatch Canada, Greenpeace, Earthworks, and the Center for Biological Diversity are doing great work on the issue.

The future of our oceans, and thus our planet, may depend on their success.

On 20 October, Prof.

Richard Steiner, Professor and conservation biologist, Oasis Earth (www.oasis-earth.com)

published the following in The Huffington Post Adding to concerns about the disastrous decline in ocean ecosystems, now there is another emerging threat deep sea mining. While shallow water mining for sand, gold, tin, and diamonds has been conducted for decades, commercial deep sea mining has yet to occur anywhere. But that's about to change.

Extensive deep sea mineral exploration is currently underway in international waters governed by the International Seabed Authority (ISA), under the U.N. Convention on Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and within Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) of many coastal nations.

There are currently three main types of deep sea mineral deposits of interest to industry and governments: 1. Polymetallic nodules (also called "manganese nodules") are potatosized metal nodules found on the abyssal plain from 4,000 m 6,000 m deep. These nodules are rich in manganese, nickel, cobalt, copper, lithium, molybdenum, iron, and Rare Earth Elements. Nodules grow slowly over millions of years, to diameters from 5 cm - 50 cm, and host unique invertebrate communities. Currently, 13 national consortia operate exploration leases on 4.5 million km2 of the Clarion-Clipperton (Fracture) Zone (CCZ), between Baja and Hawaii. The U.S., as a nonparty to UNCLOS and ISA, issued exploration leases on its own to Ocean Minerals Company (OMCO), a subsidiary of defense contractor Lockheed Martin, to explore for nodules in the CCZ. The only nodule deposits

being seriously considered within a national EEZ at present are in the Cook Islands in South Pacific.

2. Seafloor Massive Sulphide (SMS) deposits are found beneath deep sea hydrothermal vents along the 67,000 km of volcanically active midocean ridges and back arc basins, between 1,500 m 5,000 m deep. These contain high-grade copper, gold, silver, zinc, and other trace metals. Deep sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems were first discovered in 1977 at the Galapagos Rift, and stunned the world of science, as these vent systems rely entirely on chemosynthesis rather than photosynthesis - the first ever known. Over 300 deep sea vent systems have been discovered so far, and it is estimated that perhaps only 500 - 5,000 may exist in the world ocean, making this one of rarest ecosystems in Earth's biosphere.

China and Korea hold contracts to explore SMS deposits in international waters of the Indian Ocean, and Russia and France hold exploration leases on the MidAtlantic Ridge. Other SMS deposits being considered are in waters of Papua New Guinea (PNG), Vanuatu, Palau, Niue, Fiji, Micronesia, Solomon Islands, Tonga, and New Zealand. The Nautilus Minerals "Solwara 1" project in PNG waters is fully permitted, the mining ship and equipment are being built, and mining is scheduled to begin in 2018.

This would be the first commercial deep sea mining project in history.

3. Cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts are found on summits and flanks of seamounts at 400 m - 4,000 m depth.

There are some 10,000 seamounts in oceans

rising at least 1,000 m above the seabed (and perhaps another 90,000 smaller seamounts).

Many are in EEZs of central Pacific islands (Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Hawaii, Johnston Atoll), and in international waters of the tropical Pacific. Metal crusts form on shoulders of seamounts, rich in cobalt, nickel, copper, iron, manganese; rare metals such as tungsten, platinum, bismuth, tellurium, etc.; and Rare Earth Elements. Crusts grow slowly, 1 mm - 5 mm per million years, and can reach total thickness of up to 260 mm.

Seamount crusts are currently being explored

by China and Japan in international waters of the western tropical Pacific, but many feel actual mining of seamount crusts would be by far the most problematic and least feasible.

Marine phosphate (fertilizer) and methane hydrate (energy) resources found in shallower waters, 100 m - 500 m deep, are often discussed in context with deep sea minerals.

Marine phosphate mining is in consideration off Namibia (currently under moratorium), New Zealand (the environmental permit was denied earlier this year, but the developer is considering reapplying next year), and off Baja Mexico, where Odyssey Marine has submitted its EIA for mining the Don Diego phosphate deposit in 70 m water depth, 1225 miles offshore. Japan has successfully tested methane hydrate, or "fire ice," extraction from its offshore waters.

But here's the problem.

The deep ocean, where mining is proposed, constitutes the largest and least understood biological habitat on Earth. It's an Alice-inWonderland world of extremes, extraordinary adaptions, bizarre orga-

nisms, beauty and mystery. The region is characterized by darkness (infused with sparkling bioluminescence), extreme pressure, cold temperatures, high biodiversity (perhaps millions of species, most yet to be identified), slow growth and reproductive rates, and high sensitivity to disturbance (low resilience). Given our poor understanding of deep sea ecosystems, growing industrial interest, rudimentary management, and insufficient protected areas, the risk of irreversible environmental damage here is real.

Environmental risks and impacts of deep sea mining would be enormous and unavoidable, including seabed habitat degradation over vast ocean areas, species extinctions, reduced habitat complexity, slow and uncertain recovery, suspended sediment plumes, toxic plumes from surface ore dewatering, pelagic ecosystem impacts, undersea noise, ore and oil spills in transport, and more.

Due to the global rarity of deep sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems, the impact of vent mining would be disproportionately high relative to terrestrial mining. Fullscale nodule mining on the abyssal plain would affect thousands of square miles of ocean floor, kill attached invertebrate communities, and create huge subsea sediment plumes that would flow and settle over thousands of square miles of seafloor. Such sedimentation would smother seabed habitat, reduce habitat complexity and biodiversity over vast areas, and post-mining recovery would be extremely slow. Mining of cobalt crusts on seamounts would cause enormous, possibly irreversible impacts to unique, productive seamount ecosystems.

Clearly, we need to avoid such ecological damage.

Before any deep sea mining moves ahead, we would need much more extensive scientific research - species identification, community ecology, distribution, genetics, life histories, resettlement patterns, resilience to disturbance, and at least a 10-year continuous time series of observations to understand dynamics of proposed mining sites over-time.

In addition, we need more robust management regimes at the ISA and in coastal nations, royaltysharing and liability agreements, stakeholder engagement, and significant advancements in subsea technology. Until this is achieved, the only wise policy is a global moratorium on all deep sea mining.

The need for more deep sea Marine Protected Areas is paramount. New Zealand established its Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary this year on over 620,000 km2 of the islands and submarine volcanoes northeast of the main islands; Cook Islands established a marine reserve on 1.1 million km2 (over half) of their EEZ; the U.S. established a 1.2 million km2 Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument; and the ISA established Areas of Particular Environmental Interest (APEIs) over about half (or about 2.3 million km2) of the area currently under lease in the CCZ. This is a good start, but still insufficient.

Industry and governments recognize the huge challenges in mining the deep ocean, but are resolved to move forward anyway.

As justification, they invoke the "peak minerals" argument, depletion of land-based minerals, and a projected increase in mineral demand in the world economy.

But mining proponents habitually avoid discussing the opportunity to reduce mineral demand by increasing the efficiency of metal use in the global economy, cradleto-cradle design, recycling, and landfill mining.

To build a sustainable economy, we will have to break the "economy of waste" - mining raw minerals, using them once or twice, discarding them, and continuing the demand for mining raw minerals.

Surely at some point, with smart renewable metal use, we will have enough minerals already up into the global economy and won't need to keep digging holes for more.

The sooner we get there, the better.

The Nautilus Minerals "Solwara 1" vent/SMS mining project in PNG waters will likely be the first deep sea mining project, with others following elsewhere in PNG, Tonga, and Fiji.

Others projects to watch in national waters include Odyssey's Don Diego phosphate mining project off Baja, and manganese nodule mining in the Cook Islands. Mining on the international seabed is likely 5-10 years off, but there is intense political pressure to do so.

This emerging industry would result in serious impacts to our oceans, so it is critical for civil society to engage now, in the early stages of exploration and development.

It would be truly unfortunate if we allow the same industrial paradigm that destroyed much of the terrestrial ecosystems of our home planet to do the same in the deep sea. It is time to change this model.

This is a very big deal, and we need to pay close attention. Groups such as the Deep Sea Mining Campaign, MiningWatch Canada, Greenpeace, Earthworks, and the Center for Biological Diversity are doing great work on the issue.

The future of our oceans, and thus our planet, may depend on their success.

Etosha Fishing tops again at NSI Quality Awards 2015

Etosha Fishing staff proudly celebrate their achievement of receiving top honours at this year's NSI Awards. Pictured here are some of the Etosha Fishing staff with the coveted trophies.

For the second year in a row Etosha Fishing Corporation managed to walk away with top honours at the NSI National Quality Awards Ceremony, being awarded first prize in the Large Enterprise Company of the year 2015 category.

It also won in the Large Enterprise Product of the year 2015 and Large Enterprise Exporter of the year 2015 categories.

“With the right team one

can achieve great things,” MD of Etosha Fishing Pieter Greeff said at the event held in Windhoek on 15 October.

He praised his staff for

their commit-ment and hard work in making Etosha Fishing a top Quality Company. Etosha Fishing broke ground in recent years with the

introduction of Namibia's first canned horse mackerel product range c a l l e d “ E F U TA Maasbanker”, the first Namibian canned product to receive the NSI Standard Mark of Conformity pro-duct endorsement. It also carries Halaal Certification and is a proudly Namibian product displaying the Team Namibia logo. It was successfully introduced to the Namibian retail market, now available on the shelves of all major retailers, and con-tinue to achieve huge success as an export product to other southern African markets.

EFUTA Maasbanker was first canned in 2013 in response to repeated calls by the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources for employment creation and value addition in this sector, which is directly in line with the Government's Vision 2030 and NDP4 policy framework. Moreover, the venture allowed for a more sustainable business operation with longer term employment for more Namibians. It also materialised Etosha Fishing's vision of putting the country's most valuable

fish resource in a can, offering the nation an affordable, nutritious meal from the sea.

The NSI National Quality Awards is aimed at recognising industries, enterprises and individuals who perform excellent on quality. The awards seek to motivate producers to put quality as the central focus of all their productions and to put quality at the forefront of their marketing agenda.

According to the NSI, the Quality Company of the Year Award is bestowed on registered companies which best reflect full commitment to applicable local and international high quality production practices and standards/norms.

The Namibian Exporter of the Year Award relates to a company or organisation that has made significant progress in commencing or expanding exports to new or wider markets by introducing quality in their company. Etosha Fishing will now challenge the other winners from the SADC Region at the Annual SADC Quality Awards later one this year.

Hulle slaap op hul eie bedjies met teddy-kombersies en kussings. Boudjies, die spesiale baba het ek ge-abba teen my bors vanaf geboorte omdat die ma haar bly begrawe het. Ek het haar grootgemaak met 'n tietie-bottel. Ek het met die moeder natuur ingemeng en daarom het ek nou 'n duur prys betaal.

Sy het 'n heup- probleem ontwikkel en artritis in die voorbene gekry na baie mediese kostes en duur diëte was ek verplig om haar leiding te beëindig. Ek het 'n afspraak gemaak en eerste gevra wat word van die liggaam omdat ek haar nie in ons erf kan begrawe nie, want die huis word verkoop. Hulle het my verseker die honde word langs die munisipale stortingsterrein begrawe.

Ek het nie vrede gevind nie en het Saterdagmiddag stortingsterrein toe gery nadat ek Maandagoggend die instansie geskakel het en gevra het of die liggame reeds begrawe is. Die persoon was baie verontwaardig en is duidelik onkant gevang. Sy het gevra “Why, is there a problem?” 'n Man by die stortingsterrein wys my toe waar die honde begrawe word. Daar is 'n bordjie op die regterkant “abbatoir waste”. Intussen verseker hy my ek moet nie 'worry' nie, die week het hulle nog net een hond geëet, 'n grote wat in die dorp gestamp is, hulle eet nie graag honde wat van die dokter af kom nie want hulle is vol medisyne.” Wat 'n vertroosting? Hy sê hulle word daar tussen die gemors afgelaai en dan stoot die laaigraaf alles toe. Praat die waarheid wanneer ons hartseer troeteldiereienaars voor julle staan. Hoekom skaf julle nie verbrandingsoonde aan nie, dit is mos nog 'n manier om geld te maak?

Almal sal betaal vir daardie gemoedsrus. Ek wens ek kon 'n stukkie grond bekom waar ek die diereliefhebbers se diere kan begrawe soos dit hoort. Met gebed en genade het ek my hond se liggaam teruggekry en self gaan begrawe.

Confusion over treatment of patient by doctor in local hospital An incident that occurred recently raised the question whether a patient, who is hurt and wants to lay a charge with the police after treatment, can be assisted by a private doctor or not.

Sean Wolf The hospital was suppose to help the guy, but obviously lately there is more incompetent, than competent staff! Another matter which is concerning , how long does it take some for these nurses to get a doctor to in ? Some times the doctor asks 100 questions before he decides to come in ! Why isn`t there a doctor 24 / 7 at the hospital ? That is one of the main reasons why so many people prefer going to Swakop!

Egon Jankowski My advice. Get hospital to provide you with there patient rights policy. If you

have a claim doctor and nurse did not act in regards to the oath they swear to treat every patient the same get legal action lodge a complaint at the health professions council.

Toni Timo Lange Yes and no, here and there, up and down, does not matter how you see the matter, fact of the matter remains, it was a matter that needed urgent medical assistance and the hospital turn there back on the pour man.

Lenhert Plaatjies Elistare Van Rooyen jy is omtrent besig in Swakopmund.

My name is Hannelie Wasserman (Visser). I am a born Namibian have all the documents to prove it. I am married to Johan Wasserman, SA Citizen. So we saw the newspaper clip that said if I as a Namibian citizen is married to SA citizen he can work here with no problem (still have the article kept safe) Also consulted with Fishmar only to learn that he indeed needs Domicile papers. Which is still ok, we got everything ready for them to start with that 2 years ago already.

My husband is a Truck driver and working locally in Swakopmund. Natis always used to take in prove of admission forms from Home Affairs to transfer the South African licence to Namibian licence. As you know he needs his licence to work in Namibia. Then only for us to learn about a month ago NATIS has changed this and you have to show your certificate of domicile BEFORE you can convert your licence! So the end result is this: He can work here no problem but you have to go to SA every 2 years to do your PDP until your domicile papers are ready? He will probably not get his domicile papers for the next 2 years the way that Home Affairs is working!

So what are we to do with this? You cannot say you can work here and then they do this?

When u apply for your licence in SA you wait at least 1-2 months for it. No other person can pick it up for you, in result that we would have to go down there again to pick it up?? This does not make sense to me and I feel it a very impulsive move from NATIS to do so in changing the rules without thinking it through. I cannot see was the problem with the Prove of Acknowledgement of receipt, it is being done by a Fishmar who does this every day. And now here we sit and the licence expiry date is 11/11/2015!

What to do now?

If you have any info on this it would be greatly appreciated!

Discordant couple share their story “I decided to play a game of Russian roulette with my life…”

Marshallino Beukes

Living as a discordant couple for almost a decade now, a Swakopmund couple shared their true life-story of faith, hope, love and also tears.

“I have an extraordinary life-story of something that I'm living with, which only Jehovah God can prescribe to mankind, because he is almighty. It is almost a decade that I'm in this life.

We are still going strong through faith and generating a healthy family.

My partner and I are living as a discordant couple for almost a decade now. A discor-

dant couple is when a couple are having different HIV statuses, with one being positive and the other negative.

I met my partner in July 2005.

On 23 July 2006 we went for a couple test, and at that stage my partner was 4-5 months pregnant. We got our pre- and postcounselling and afterwards the results. My results came out negative and my partner's was positive. This was

REZONING NOTICE Take notice that RITTA KHIBA PLANNING CONSULTANTS (TOWN AND REGIONAL PLANNERS) on behalf of the owner of Erf 1127 Theo-Ben Gurirab Street, Walvis Bay, is applying to the Walvis Bay Municipality for: REZONING OF ERF 1127 FROM “SINGLE RESIDENTIAL” WITH A DENSITY OF 1:300 M2 TO “LOCAL BUSINESS” WITH A BULK OF 1, FOR A MIXED LAND USE DEVELOPMENT. THE MIXED DEVELOPMENT WILL CONSIST OF ACTIVITIES SUCH AS: OFFICE/ BUSSINES, COFFEE SHOP, RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS. Erf 1127 Theo-Ben Gurirab, Walvis Bay is zoned as “single residential” with a density of 1:300 m2 and it is approximately 1250 m2 in extent. The owner of Erf 1127 intends to rezone to “Local business” with a bulk of 1 for a mixed land use development. The bulk will allow the owner to construct a business building consisting of activities such as: offices/ business, coffee shop and use part of the building for residential purposes.

The number of vehicles for which parking will be provided on-site will be in accordance with the Walvis Bay Town Planning Scheme. Further take notice that the locality plan of the Erf lies for inspection on the town planning notice board in the Customer Care Centre, Municipality of Walvis Bay Offices, Civic Centre, Nangolo Mbumba Drive, Walvis Bay. Further take notice that any person objecting to the proposed use of the land as set out above may lodge such objection together with the grounds thereof, with the Municipality and with the applicant in writing within 14 days of the last publication of this notice.

the first time I heard about “discordant couples”.

Our first kid was born on 27 December 2006.

He was born positive and passed away, due to HIV related illness on 11 April 2007. Due to the love I have for my partner I decided to play Russian-roulette with my life and continued to try and build up a family for me with her, because she also has the right to live a full life, as any

other woman deserves to. She fell pregnant again and gave birth to a baby girl on 20 November 2008. She was also born positive and passed away after 3 months due to HIV related illness, like pneumonia.

My baby passed away during February 2009.

In that same year I found myself on the wrong side of the law. I was in custody for 2 years and 2 months.

After I was released

from jail, I got back together with my partner.

Through endurance, which I received from Jehovah, I continued the Russian-roulette life. I impregnated her in 2012 and our third child was born on 24 March 2013. He was receiving Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) and his results came out negative.

We agreed to conceive another child and my partner again fell pregnant in 2014, where after she gave

birth to our fourth child, which is also a boy. He is also on PMTCT. He was tested and his results came out negative, too. I had also changed my 3 to 6 months window period for a year's time, by managing a window period time frame of 3 months. I was last tested on 8 January 2015.

What really bothers me, is that there is no available statistics of discordant couples in the world and I want to challenge the Guinness book of world records for me and my partner being the longest

living discordant couple in the world.

What's more to it is, do I not maybe have the DNA that researchers can use to cure people with these disease? I read about the one and only person that was cured from this disease.

He was dubbed (named) the Berlin patient. I am willing to sacrifice my life for the sake of my partner to proof to those who didn't believe me, that Jehovah really live through those who love and cherish the love for their fellow human, especially for a life partner.”

The Brewer & Butcher at Strand Hotel Swakopmund

Namibia's First Micro-brewery Restaurant, Bar, Terrace and Beergarden The exciting new Brewer & Butcher in the Strand Hotel Swakopmund, situated on the Swakopmund mole, will be a rich blend of Namibian and German culture.

It will be a first rate Restaurant specialising in beef and game with an authentic German beer garden and a huge sea facing terrace and lounge, housing Namibia's first in-house micro-

brewery, the Skeleton Coast Brewing Company, which will brew three different beers right there on site.

The beautiful brass and steel brewing machinery especially imported from Germany and

manufactured by Kaspar & Schultz, will be pumping away in the spacious, open plan restaurant while you dine on Namibia's finest beef and game.

In the other two main restaurants located at

Strand Hotel Swakopmund, the Ocean Cellar and the Farmhouse Deli, you can watch the chefs at work, while at the Brewer & Butcher you can watch the brew master ply his craft.

The Brewer & Butcher is not all about the beer, though! It will also be an excellent steakhouse.

Continuing the tradition of the Strand Hotel Swakopmund's commitment to freshness, the environment and to Namibia, nearly all cuts will be from free range, authentic Namibian beef and game.

Executive Chef Dallas Orr is bringing his world-wide experience to bear on the restaurant, incorporating our genuine Namibian animal proteins into German, Namibian and other amazing worldly recipes.

Hearkening back to Namibia's roots as a German colony, the Brewer & Butcher interior is part industrial and part contemporary German interior design.

At the center of the restaurant is a sunken dining and lounge area with a roaring fireplace, creating a cozy space in the midst of

this active venue.

Beautiful brass and steel beer vats are like a huge centerpiece sculpture marking the passage from the main dining area to the beer garden on the south side, a refreshing space full of greenery.

A wall protects patrons from the prevailing southwest winds, but it will still be open to the fresh ocean air, offering the perfect compliment to the large outdoor sea facing terrace on the north side of the restaurant with its two fire pits at the lounge terrace and an additional fireplace to warm patrons in the cool sea breeze.

The outdoor seating is wonderful in Swakopmund, but on at least one of your many visits to the Brewer & Butcher, you will surely want to sit in the dining area and obser-

ve the brewing process.

Stephan Koepp from Namibia Breweries, who operates the Swakopmund Brewing Company will be supervising the on site brewing process, and either he or one of his assistants will normally be on hand, tending to the beers and answering questions from guests.

There will be two standard flavours of beer brewed year round on site, and a third, seasonal beer which will change for the occasion or the season, be it Christmas, Oktob e r f e s t , s u m m e r, winter or whatever whim takes hold of Stephan!

All of these beers can also be ordered in mini draught kegs for the table to share!

The Brewer & Butcher is one of the most

exciting new venues at the Strand Hotel Swakopmund and a one of a kind experience in Namibia.

It offers a wide range of quality steaks, plus more than a few innovative recipes, and features a microbrewery, a beer garden, a bar, a lounge with an open fireplace and a sea facing terrace with two “boma� fire pits. In Namibia, beef and game are not only a part of the diet, they are a part of the culture.

This fine aspect of Namibian culture comes together with Swakopmund's traditional German culture at the Brewer & Butcher.

NSI Rewards Quality To Namibian Businesses The Namibian Standards Institution held its third National Quality Awards on 15 October in Windhoek. The National Quality Awards aims to recognise and appreciate industries and enterprises, including the service sector and individuals who perform excellently on quality.

It also honours those who contribute to quality advancement in all sectors of the Namibian economy, by having measurements and quality systems, procedures and processes that are in line with local, regional and international practices. In addition the programme recognises individuals who use quality advancement to support national economic development and growth.

The Namibian Standards Institution's Chief Executive Officer, Chie Wasserfall said the application of standards and the consumption of products and services that are produced based on sound standards should not be a privilege but rather a right.

“Consumers have the right to buy and use products and services that are safe, healthy and are fit for purpose” Speaking on behalf of the Minister of Industrialisation, Trade and SME Development, the Ministry's Deputy Minister Piet Van Der Walt said that Namibia has a particular challenge of outdated regulations especially those related to the protection of health and safety of people, the environment and trade facilitation.

“This is a challenge that I am informed the NSI in consultation with key government ministries is busy addressing as a National Technical Regulations Framework.”

The Deputy Minister further congratulated all participants that took part in the National Quality Awards.

Emphasising the importance of standards and quality to the stakeholders, the Namibian Standards Council Chairperson, Dr Martha Kandawa-Schulz said not only are standards good for trade, they

also make it easy for people around the world to work together.

“In a world without standards, routine activities we take for granted, like making a call, surfing the Web or using our credit cards when we travel, would be much more complicated and nearly impossible.”

The National Quality Awards recognises and rewards the Namibian business large or small in five categories, these are: 1. Company of the Year Award 2. Quality Product of the year 3. Quality Service of the year 4. Namibian Exporter of the year 5. Quality Individual Award Representing the large enterprise businesses Etosha Fishing Corporation received first place in three awards namely Company of the Year, Product of the Year and Namibian Exporter of the Year award.

The awards were handed over by Deputy Minister of Industrialisation, Trade and SME Development, Mr Piet van der Walt (right) and NSI CEO Chie Wasserfall (far right).

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) Fabupharm received first place in the Company of the Year category while construction company MPP Civils came in second place. Sanlam Namibia received the first prize for Service of the Year award in the large enterprise while MPP Civils received first prize for the small and medium enterprise category.

Ruth Shifugula, the Quality Assurance Manager at United Fishing Enterprise

received the first prize for the Quality Individual award category while Frans Nghandi of Nghandiza Investments came in second place.

The winners selected automatically qualify to participate in the lucrative SADC Regional Quality Awards scheduled to take place in Lesotho in March 2016.

At the same occasion the NSI also rewarded the Technical Committees on Quality Management Systems, Food Safety

Management systems and Metrology on their continued voluntary participation and offering of expertise and time in the adoption of Namibian standards.

The National Quality Awards programme is a brainchild of the Cabinet approved National Quality Policy document of 1 June 1999. The programme was officially launched on 4 September 2012 and is observed annually on the Namibian national quality calendar.

The need for dwellings below one million dollars. If you're like most firsttime home buyers, your biggest concern remains the financial aspect (affordability).

When viewing the current prices of property it could often make one feel that it's totally out of reach causing one to become miserable in thinking that owning your own home will most probably remain a “pipedream”. Fact is, if you can associate with these sentiments, you're not alone as most of us in the “working class” not only try to make ends meet but desire to “move forward” in life. What does this mean?

In general it concludes that we would like to achieve success in our jobs and be remunerated to the extent that we soonest achieve a financial position allowing us to own property. As an Estate Agency we've dealt with these scenarios many times and it is sad that the market does not allow us ample available properties as remedy to solve these situations. A couple of years ago, for example, a house worth N$800,000 was considered a reasonable and achievable price for a fairly new house in a “good” location. Nowadays however, the prospective firsttime home buyers find that the scenario has changed drastically and a similar house will sell for N$1,4 million – being considered “reasonable” under current market conditions. But, during the time lapse between these two eras, various variables contributing to this difference in value, came into force. Besides the effect of inflation, there was increases in cost of material, transport cost, higher demand, etc. compounded by world recessionary conditions. Nevertheless, this did not deter some developers to slack down but rather put them in a position to explore opportunities to provide dwellings in a “high demand” scenario which, according to basic economic principles, attract higher prices and obviously yielding a much better “Rate Of Return”.

With all the potential of economic vibrancies due taking effect at the coast, it is concluded that the rapid increasing demand for dwellings in the “lower” end of the market can no longer be ignored. To this end, our Agency do every effort in our consultations with developers to capture the potential in this “niche market” (below N$1 million) which has proven to render appreciable returns for them and turn “dreams” of property ownership, into reality. Therefore, soon some upcoming developments are about to meet these demands and the “early bird catches the worm” – if you can relate to the essence of this article, we advise you don't delay and contact us soonest to record you on a waiting list of potential buyers. It is all a matter of timing – don't force yourself into a possible unbearable financial situation.

Home ownership gives you and your family a sense of stability and security.

It's making an investment in your future.

Although real estate moves in cycles, sometimes up, sometimes down, over the years, real estate has consistently appreciated. This article does not bear significance to those parties active in the middle to upper ends of the market but will certainly, in general, give some food for thought.

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste Zum Hundert Jahre wilde Pferde in Namibia

Locker vom Hocker Geier: groteske Schönheit

Liebe Küstenleser!

Beim Morgenspaziergang auf der Gästefarm Otjohotozu am Ostende des Erongogebirges blinzel ich in die grelle Sonne und sehe einen Adler fliegen. Welch ein Anblick! Der stattliche König der Lüfte zieht stolz und bedächtig auf phosphoreszierenden Schwingen seine graziösen Kreise. Mein Blick folgt ihm, die Augen mit der Hand gegen die helle Sonne abgeschirmt, bis der gigantische Raubvogel sich im Blau des Himmels verliert.

Welch ein faszinierender Anblick, und doch sind die Greifvögel noch zu weit entfernt, als dass man sie als Laie und etwas verträumter Vogelnarr identifizieren könnte. Vorsichtig versuche ich, mich an sie heranzupirschen, aber vergebens. Den wachsamen Geierblicken entgeht nichts, und sie fliegen auf und davon.

Cosmos Mechanical Engineering – leader of the pack Liesl Losper Andreas Böttcher, a prominent Walvis Bay businessman and owner of Cosmos Mechanical Engineering, shared his success story with the newspaper.

The business specialises in the manufacturing of gears, especially for older equipment, and this has proofed to play a vital part in the harbour town as well as the country's engineering industry.

“Cosmos Mechanical Engineering was established on 1 September 2000, after we observed that there was a demand in the manufacturing of gears.

Today, most of our work involves the producing of new gears, especially for the older equipment.

Delivery of these products from abroad usually takes a lot of time and sometimes no original parts for machinery are locally available, and that is where we fit in,” Mr Böttcher remarked.

According to him, they purchased a Gear Hobber during 2009, in order to curb the growing demand and to shorten turnaround time. Comments from several other businesses revealed that the experience and knowledge which Böttcher has in this specific field is of high value to Walvis Bay. Mr Böttcher further noted that they also receive work from Windhoek, as they are the only business that can provide such service.

“I can remember a project we have handled, where the ring-gear collapsed on the oilrig-supporting vessel, Eddea Fjord. The

shaft was bent and most of the gears' teeth were broken, with replacing delivery time of 36 weeks and local delivery time of 8 weeks.

During the conversation it came to light that Böttcher also has vast experience in firefighting.

He started while he was still at school, overseas.

He indicated that he was part of the junior fire fighters in his town at the tender age of 13 and when he turned 17, he became a fulltime firefighter.

Cosmos Fire Fighting Technologies (CFFT) is the only Namibian company which specialises in specialised firefighting implementations and consulting.

This includes specialised fire fighting vehicles, implements, hazardous material handling equipment and personal protection equipment.

Mr Böttcher is also the only person in Namibia who can service and give training on the management of fire trucks for airports in Namibia.

Furthermore he is the o n ly co n s u ltan t in Namibia who deals with Rosenbauer in South Africa.

Rosenbauer is the world's leading manufacturer of fire fighting equipment in defensive fire and disaster protection.

“This week I am leaving for Windhoek to give inservice training at the airports. “Fire fighting is my passion and I will continue to help wherever I can to keep this industry on the go,” he concluded.

Cosmos Mechanical Engineering specializes in the following: Cutting of Gears, Worms & Worm wheels, Bevel gears, Straight gears, Helical gears, Spline shafts & Bushes, Spiral Flute Milling, Fire Fighting Equipment, Manufacturing of Guide Rollers, Manufacturing of small tools, specialised & general engineering works, General Engineering Cosmos Fire Fighting Technologies include: Airport Fire Fighting Vehicles, Municipal Fire F i g h t i n g Ve h i c l e s , Equipment Repairs, Fire Fighting Helmets, Jaws of Life, Oil Disaster Handling Equipment, Fire Fighting Boots, Fire Fighting Equipment Training Specialised Fire Fighting Jackets and Trousers, Portable Pumps, Fire Fighting Equipment Consulting, Stationary Fire Fighting Supressing Systems

Memories of my Van: Zarika en sister, kinders

Ronel (Pretorius) Munoz * 19.01.1964

+ 13.10.2015

Ons gun haar die Hemelse rus.

Va n : M o n i c a , Linda, Miela and Verna

hold a place, That no one could ever fill.

Baie dankie ma vir alles wat ma vir ons gedoen en beteken het. Ons sal baie verlang, maar berus in Sy wil, omdat ons weet ma die mooiste engel in die hemel is.

Van: Leonardo en Zaid Die dood laat wonde agter wat niemand op aarde kan heel, maar herinneringe is skatte wat niemand kan steel.

Van Poppa, Lario en kinders.

Jou stryd was moedig en vol geloof, God het gesien die pad word te steil en jou hand geneem en jou veilig na Hom gelei.

Va n H i l a r y , Lanvrey, Geraldo and Gea.

You Never Said Goodbye You never said I'm leaving You never said goodbye.

You were gone before we knew it, And only God knew why.

A million times we needed you, A million times we cried.

If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still.

In our hearts you

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God took you home.

From: Peter, Claudette, Nicole, July-Ann and Arthur There will always be a heartache and often a silent tear, But always a precious memory of the days when you were here.

From: Susie, Ty r o n e , E l r o y, Allison, Anthony and Eathon.

We watched her suffer, day by day; It caused us bitter grief; to see her slowly pine away; And could not give relief.

Her weary hours and days of pain; Her troubled nights are past; And in our aching hearts we know; She has found sweet rest at last.

Some day, some time, my years shall see; the face I loved so well.

Some day, some time, her hand I'll clasp; and never say farewell.

Her smiling way and pleasant face; are a pleasure to recall; She had a kindly word for each; and died beloved by all.

Some day we hope to meet her; some day, we know not when; to clasp her hand in the better land; never to part again.

From: Oupa, Las, Lessie, Neeca and Bully

I remember everything about you, your voice, your smile, your touch, the way you walked, the way you talked, the way you looked at me, meant so much.

I remember all the words you said to me, some funny, some kind, some wise, all of the things you did for me, I see now with different eyes.

I remember every moment we shared, seems like only yesterday, or maybe it was eons ago, It's really hard to say.

You are gone from me now, but one thing they can't take away, your memory resides inside my heart, and lights up my darkest days.

From: Colleen, Eugene, Denzell, Denver, Mieta and Lluwelyn

Take her in your arms, Lord, cherish her with care. Make up for all she suffer and the pain she had to be bear.

The Broken Chain We little knew that morning, God was going to call your name.

In life we loved your dearly, in death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, You are always by our side.

Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

From: Moizel, Trevor, Shakira, Alzandro and Alzandra Stil het jy ons verlaat.

Rus in vrede.
