After months of planning, extensive research to identify a unique target group, and a successful submission to the United States (U.S) President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the U.S. Government initiative to help save the lives of those suffering from HIV/AIDS around the world, namib times yesterday launched its “share your status with those you love” campaign in Walvis bay.

“The campaign is focussed on children born HIV positive before the introduction of the PMCT (Prevention of Mother To Child Transmission of the HIV/AIDS virus) programme in Namibia, who are now young adults of 22 years and older.

Many of them have been on anti-retroviral treatment for years, but are unaware of their status, because their

parents and guardians have never told them,” says Dorcas Mhungu, who was acting news desk manager at namib times earlier, and who has been spearheading the campaign from the start.

“Through the campaign messages will be conveyed that will encourage those affected to take medication consistently as they have been doing.

US Ambassador welcomes partnership Madelaine Laubscher with stakeholders

The US Ambassador in Namibia, Thomas F Daughton, has welcomed the partnership with namib times, Namport and Walvis Bay Corridor group.

Kamatoto PEPFAR campaign Mavourlene Gaes Ambassador HIV/AIDS activist Bernard Kamatoto (pictured third from left) was appointed brand ambassador at the launch of the “share your status with those you love” campaign yesterday.

Kamatoto is known and respected by many in the region not only because of his courage in coming out and revealing his HIV status to the world 15 years ago but, also because he lives a positive life even with the virus inside him and passes that same positivity on to others inspiring them to make better life choices.

Regarding the campaign Kamatoto says the campaign is excellent and will have a huge impact on the community. “Sometimes I feel very bad because as much as I would like to speak to everyone I unfortunately only get to speak to some and then the others are left out,” he says.

“Through the newspaper and this campaign everybody will be able get informed.

Kamatoto however is very concerned about the children born with the virus, because their parents often fail to explain to them why they have to consume a hand full of pills, and rather prefer to keep them in the dark about their HIV status.

The majority of the children born with the virus do not know they are infected and may unknowingly pass the virus on to their unsuspecting partners.

In order to avoid these unfortunate situations, we all need to get tested and know our status,” he says. Kamatoto has expressed his joy with the campaign and says with the platform he is given, he will do his utmost in helping the Erongo Region's fight against HIV/AIDS.

“With this American government funding (USD 25 000) offered through the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), our partners will be able to target the special populations of the Erongo Region with messages that will increase public aware-ness of the value of sharing one's HIV/AIDS status with loved ones – and thus, help save lives.”

He says the campaign is important to them as it is important to get the

US Ambassador Thomas Daughton namib times, in cooperation with Namport and Walvis Bay Corridor Group will employ these strategies to reach the people of Erongo, and

Governor of Erongo lauds and supports HIV Awareness Campaign Madelaine Laubscher The Governor of the Erongo Region, Cleophas Mutjavikua, the keynote speaker at yesterday's launch of the namib timesPepfar HIV awareness campaign, says the Erongo Region will realign all its programmes with the campaign.

Mayor of Walvis Bay calls for the Absence of Stigma Madelaine Laubscher

The Mayor of Walvis Bay, Councillor Uillika Nambahu, has said the HIV virus continues to be visible in Namibia.

She has mentioned in her address to the audience at the launch of the “ Share Your Status with Those You Love” campaign, that a lot of parents are lost due to the virus, but that the nation is not completely hopeless towards finding solutions.

“Efforts of creating awareness creation continue to be a success. Regrettably the stigma for sexual transmitted diseases and infection continues to arise.” She says HIV positive people should speak out about having the virus otherwise negative people will be affected.

Me Nambahu says “ the absence of stigma will facilitate an open and honest disclosure of one's status to people that matter to us.”

People must know their status “Our longstanding relationship with PEPFAR partners has illustrated models of success with outreach strategies that are based on proven scientific data. These models highlight best practices that lead to the behaviour change that will help us achieve our shared goal of an HIV/ AIDS-free generation.

Ministry of Youth and Sport gives thumbs up for campaign Liesl Losper Sport officer for the Ministry of Youth National Services, Sport and Culture, Mara Kandjiriomuini also attended the launch of the “share your status with those you love” campaign yesterday.

The Ministry has applauded the initiative taken by namib times and has given its full support - they will involve the youth in sport activities which carry the message of HIV/ Aids.

"The Ministry is requesting the initiators not to hesitate to involve the Ministry, as we currently have Youth groups dealing with HIV/Aids at the Multipurpose Center in Kuisebmond.

“Mara Kandjiriomuini commented yesterday during the launch. The Ministry is having a sport awareness program which it's using as a platform to inform the Youth about HIV/Aids.

Me Kandjiriomuini was actively involved last year with Aids activist Bernard Kamatoto and together they have run a week-long campaign to combat HIV through sports, which has proven to be a huge su-

cess.

76-Jarige tereg op poging tot moord-klag Vervolg vanaf bladsy 1 desa-woonbuurt het tot die dood van Mandume Hoxobeb (25) gelei.

Volgens die polisiewoordvoerder, hoofinspekteur Moses !Uwu// Khaeb het die voorval Saterdagoggend omstreeks 00:25 plaas-

gevind en ‘n 21-jarige verdagte is gearresteer.

In Usakos is ‘n 76-jarige man, James Marais op aanklagte van poging tot moord en die gebruik van vuurwapen in ‘n munisipale gebied, in hegtenis geneem.

Motorists lock doors while driving Madelaine Laubscher A Walvis Bay resident told the namib times that motorists should lock their doors while driving as suspect persons recently tried to gain entry into her vehicle while she was at a stop sign in order to steal valuable items.

The source alleged that when she stopped at a stop sign in the vicinity of Sentrum Pharmacy, a number of men ran up to her car and started banging on the car with their hands to distract her, while another man was trying to open the back door.

“The back door of the car luckily does not open

therefore the man could not gain entry into my car. There was a laptop in the back of the car.

I was very scared at the time,” she said.

Another source said that it is apparently not the first time that this has occurred (also near Sentrum Pharmacy) and said that people should be warned about this stunt.

Dit het gevolg op ’n voorval waartydens ‘n 14-jarige seun blykbaar by die woning van die senior burger ingegaan en die kraan van sy warmwaterstelsel toegemaak het. Volgens die polisiewoordvoer-

der het die beskuldigde na buite gegaan om ondersoek in te stel en die seun buite gewaar.

Hy was blykbaar met ‘n pistool gewapen en het die seun in die maag geskiet. Die voorval het omstreeks 21:30 in Inga

Single straat in Usakos plaasgevind.

Die seun is inderhaas na die Windhoekse staatshospitaal vervoer en sy toestand word as baie ernstig beskryf.

Die verdagte het gister in die Usakos magis-

traatshof verskyn en borg van N$5 000 is aan hom toegestaan.

Die saak is to 26 Maart uitgestel vir verdere ondersoeke. Die polisie op Hentiesbaai het intussen gister te kenne gegee dat geen in heg-

tenisneming tot hede uitgevoer is, nadat drie mans verlede week ‘n Suid Afrikaanse groep in die kusdorp beroof het nie. Die rowers het weggekom met kontant en items ter waarde van ongeveer N$65 000.

Robbed of N$50 000+ Madelaine Laubscher

A trusted source told the namib times about two scams doing the rounds at the coast and warned that businesses and individuals doing business deals should be made aware and should be vigilant as one company has already lost more than N$50 000 to one of these scams.

The source warned that the scammers appear to be well-refined members of the community.

He said that a certain business became a victim to a scam last year December when the administrator of the business received an email from a suspect person posing as an employee of a company she worked with on a monthly basis. The email stated that the banking details of the company had changed and that the next monthly payment should be paid to the new bank

account details.

According to him the email contained the original letterhead, and therefore the victim did not suspect anything suspicious.

The namib times spoke to the victim for comment.

“I received the email on 9 December, stating that the banking details changed. I did not suspect anything wrong as the letter had the original logo and the usual contact numbers. A woman, named ‘Mandy’ phoned me and asked if I received the email about the change of

details. She posed as an employee of the actual company.

At the time, the lady I usually work with was on leave thus I thought this Mandy person was the substitute person handling payments.

I told her I received the email. I made the payment and faxed the proof of payment to the company.

However a man (at the actual company) contacted me afterwards and said that no payment was received and said that he suspects it could be a scam.

They investigated and confirmed to me that it was indeed a scam,” she said.

According to her she could not get hold of this Mandy person at the actual company.

“I tried to phone her but was told there is no such person working at the company.

The bank was unable to help us salvage the money. This looks a lot like an inside job as the person knew that I was working with the payments and had all my details and used the original logo,” she said.

Sharlien Tjambari In collaboration with the Community Skills Development Foundation (COSDEF) Arts & Crafts in Swakopmund, the Blue Bench project hosted a big drawing class for kids at the COSDEF Amphitheatre on Saturday 21 February from 12:00 till late.

N$25.8 million Multi-purpose Centre for Mondesa Marshallino Beukes

The tender for the construction of a Multi-Purpose Centre in Swakopmund's Mondesa surburb was awarded in October 2014 to VG Developers cc at a cost of N$25. 8 million.

The cost of this project will be phased over 3 financial years. The centre will serve as a community centre, small business centre, e-library, squash and boxing facilities. It is situated near the Mondesa taxi rank, in the vicinity of U-Save and will undeniably hugely contribute to the suburb's socio-economic development.

Soup kitchen for orphans and vulnerable at Arandis Over 300 orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) at the mining town of Arandis in the Erongo Region will benefit from a soup kitchen to be established soon.

This kitchen will be officially opened in April this year, says Arandis Mayor Daniel Utapi Muhuura. He says that the building is already completed and equipped with gas stoves on which to cook food for needy children.

The feeding facility is the brainchild of the Arandis Town Council and the Arandis Constituency. The two entities made available a total of N$12 000 to kick-start the soup kitchen, and jointly constructed the building with extra monetary assistance of N$20 000 from a South African Samaritan.

The soup kitchen is aimed at supplementing the feeding programme at Government schools. “At first we will feed the children on weekends only as they eat at schools during the week. If we manage to secure more food then we will start feeding them on a daily basis,” said Muhuura. He stated that Swakop Uranium company provided them with food for the kitchen.

Muhuura said he approached Tunacor Fishing Company at Walvis Bay, and it promised to provide fish for the children's consumption. He used the opportunity to request other fishing companies at the coast to come on board and support the project.

“If we get good donations or even a permanent food supply, we will also be able to assist the elderly people in our town with food,” he said.

Mining museum springing up at Arandis The lack of funds to establish the first mining museum in Namibia at Arandis will soon be a thing of the past, town mayor Daniel Utapi Muhuura says.

He was approached by Nampa on Monday for an update on the museum idea, which has been idling on his table for the past six years.

The mayor said efforts to secure funds paid off last year when the Social Security Commission (SSC) promised to avail about N$500 000 to kick-start the first phase in the middle of this year. “Despite the struggle to get the money, we did not give up on the museum. This year, the project is fresh on our table again. This time, we are hopeful it will work out,” said Muhuura.

Rössing Uranium Mine supports the project, together with the Arandis Town Council.

The first phase includes the information centre where old and new mining materials and equipment collected from mines around Arandis and Swakopmund will be displayed for tourists and Namibians to understand the history and current mining industry. Other mining equipment will be collected from mining towns such as Rosh Pinah, Oranjemund and Tsumeb.

Though the mayor could not reveal the total cost of the project, it is estimated to be N$31 million. “Our vision is to establish a national mining museum, where we can exhibit all mines in Namibia to international visitors and our own people,” Muhuura said. The museum will be situated at the T-junction near the main road from Swakopmund to Usakos. At this site, there is already a large water-truck and a bulldozer previously used for mining at the Rössing Uranium Mine around 1978. Other historic equipment to be included in the museum include an old haul-truck, which has been standing in the town for about a decade now. Arandis is located approximately 60 kilometres north of Swakopmund in the Erongo Region.

(NAMPA)

There were approximately 120 kids that participated in the drawing class.

The kids enjoyed themselves to the fullest. The Blue Bench project was established in June 2010 to promote art, culture and friendship in our world.

It was the initiative of German based, Pia Feldhege, and was developed to inspire young artists. Throughout the world the Blue Bench group establishes itself in small communities by means of a blue bench being inserted in a specific location. This is to create awareness in the community to look after its people, animals and nature through art projects. In Swakopmund they teamed up with Oneness Arts & Crafts who are the local ambassadors for Blue Bench, with an actual blue bench stationed in the Oneness Crafts Shop at the COSDEF Centre. Post Card sized drawings was created by the kids and afterwards collected. The Post Cards are being sold at N$10 per post card and all proceeds will go to support struggling artists in the community. Post Cards are available at both the Oneness Craft shop at COSEF as well as COSDEF's own Arts & Craft shop.

The Yambeke Restaurant which is based at the COSDEF Arts and Craft centre provided all the kids with cool drinks and cookies.

Obtaining Fishing

Permits

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

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

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

Do not leave bait or fish on the beach!

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

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

Environmental impact of Husab’s reagents Marshallino Beukes

Mr Simon Charter Location of the proposed Swakop Uranium Port Facility A meeting to discuss the possible environmental impact the storage and handling of reagents of Husab’s mine might have, was conducted last Thursday in Walvis Bay. appointed to manage the Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA’s). Mr Simon Charter a senior environmental scientist at SLR conducted the meeting, attended by interested and/or affected parties.

He informed attendees that the reagents will be imported through the port of Walvis Bay. It will be sourced in advance and stored in a warehouse facility within the boundaries of Namport’s harbour area. Ap-

Swakop Uranium is in the process of constructing and developing the Husab mine, located approximately 70 kilometre north-east of Walvis Bay. The processing plant of the mine, as per the project schedule, is planned to be commissioned in December 2015 and Swakop Uranium applied for a storage area at the Walvis Bay harbour.

SLR Environmental Consulting (Namibia), an independent firm, has been

proximately 5 000 m² of land is allocated to Swakop Uranium to be used for the storage and transfer of reagents.

The Ferrous Sulphate and Sulphur will be stored in a separate warehouse, next to the port facility.

The handling and transportation of sulphur has already been assessed in a separate EIA, conducted by SLR in 2013 and approved by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, Mr Charter noted.

Some of the possible environmental issues, associated with the handling and storage of reagents, include potential contamination of soil at the proposed storage facility area, possible pollution of surface water and run-off into the harbour, potential impact on the Walvis Bay Ramsar Site as a result of reagent spillage and noise.

The potential cumulative impact of an increase in traffic in Walvis Bay

New Service Station for Usakos A new service station will be opened in the town of Usakos in March this year, bringing the total number in this town to three.

The new Shell station currently under construction at the Namib Oasis Farm stall, situated a short distance west of the town on the way to Swakopmund, is an addition to two Engen service stations.

This small town is sometimes referred to as a drive-through from the Namibian inland to the coast because of little developments and tourism activities here.

Speaking to Nampa about the new development on Monday, owner of Namib Oasis and co-owner of the new service station Jan Swartz said the idea is to create a one-stopstation for travellers.

Asked why he decided to

invest in such a project in a small town which already has other fuel stations, the entrepreneur said he sees potential here.

“The increasing traffic volumes on the Trans-Kalahari highway and the expansion of the port of Walvis Bay guarantees that more customers will pass through Usakos and use our services,” he enthused.

The businessman, who

has been running the biltong shop for three years, says he is employing 10 labourers in the construction of the fuel station.

These are local people who were not employed before, and his aim is thus to develop the town and create jobs.

“When we open our doors next month, 40 people will get permanent posts,” Swartz assured.

Usakos is situated some 30 kilometres from Ka-

ribib along the B2 road between Okahandja and Swakopmund.

The town was founded in the early 1900s as a workshop and watering station for locomotives.

Herero Chief Samuel Maharero sold the land to Europeans who, in 1903, resold it to the Otavi Minen- und Eisenbahngesellschaft (Otavi Mining and Railway Company - OMEG) which operated an industrial railway

and the route to the Husab Mine site will also be re-assessed.

Approximately 20-30 trucks per day will transport the reagents.

A once-off consignment of 5 000 litres of sulphuric acid will be sourced and transported from Rössing Uranium Mine to the Husab Mine.

According to SLR, after start-up of the Husab Mine acid plant, acid will be produced on site for continuous operations.

OMEG established a railway station and repair shop which was used until the 1960s.

Ndapanda Shigwedha Is no need at all, just tell your own people who will stand for you once u become sick. A person you love is your enemy once u are no more friends.

Ndapanda Shigwedha It is not really needed bcz once the friendship is no more, than omulunga radio. Better to tell your own people rathan than friends.

Dawid Andries Reyneke No human has healing powers only God can heal and He can work through doctors too.

Deoni Kotze Diedericks If I am correct TB Joshua and alot of other christian healers was found to be a fake!

And besides she is not asking for information on how to stay healthy and to hear what she must and musn’t do!

She is asking for help financially!

Zanti du Plessis Kom ons bid almal vir haar. Wat van Woensdag die 25ste om 9 uur die aand? Bid net waar jy is, tuis, in die tuin, op die strand. Net vir 1 minuut. Dit sal help!

Tupa Nghaamwa If you do not have anything good to say you rather keep it to yourself... Making racial comments here is a disgrace to us.

Remember it can be you affected in any way tomorrow. The post has been shared for those who are willing to help not to critisize and after all Melis-

sa may not be the last victim. May God bless those of you in position of helping and may not lack a thing.

Irene Spangenberg By God is niks onmoontlik nie as mens glo en bid kan Hy genees maar as dit Sy wil is, ons kan haar baie help met donasies maar die belangrikste is gebede, en GEEN Joshua nie dis nie hy wat mense gesond maak nie DIT BLY STEEDS GOD ALLEEN. Sterkte vir die familie.

Caroline Mouton Goeie dag. Julle kan na die faceboekblad van Quinton-Steele Botes gaan. Hulle het ‘n fonds gestig wat kanker pasiente help. Ek bid en vertrou julle kan alles insamel. Die Vader is goed vir Sy kinders.

Danny Beukes If we all pull together in small bits, we can make this happen.

Lynda Van Rooyen Plz dont go see anyone just pray speak 2 God he is our healer. An it’s tyms lyk this I pray that Sumone who is wealthy enough can just be kind an give her the money she needs 2 save her.

But I know my God is able 2 do all things an he alone will reach out an provide 4 you Millissa bester. God loves you an he will provide 4 you.

Yolanda Mishkan du Preez How sad to have your life to be put in the hand of your fellow. May Gods will be done and may He comfort her and her family in this difficult time! May we all find it in our hearts to donate something, even the minimum makes a differance at the end! Yes pray, but the word of God instructs us to also ACT! Elmarie Bezuidenhout I dont have money but will donate bone marrow if you need.

Hannelie Bester To all the peoole thank you so very much for your concern your prayer or just for thinking about my daugter Mellissa Jeanene Bester and it’ really amazing how much love, caring and support people still have for a follow human being even if you don’t know the person.

Talentvolle Chris Chameleon besoek Wavisbaai EVENTS

As jy die naam Chris Chameleon hoor, gaan jou gedagtes – Chris Chameleon is vernuwend, eindeloos kreatief, en het bekend geraak in Suid-Afrika, asook oorsee, as ‘n musiekfenomeen. Met ‘n eiesoortige styl, bekoorlike verhoogpersoonlikheid en ‘n reputasie dat hy gehore met sy vier-oktaafstem en stemtoertjies betower, het sy uitsonderlike talent hom oor die afgelope agt jaar uitstekende resensies en vele toekennings besorg.

Ons krap bietjie in sy agtergrond rond: In 1997 word hy die basspeler en voorman van Boo!, ‘n musikale drietal wat in die tussentyd ‘n wêreldwye kultusaanhang verwerf het.

Toe Boo! se medegroeplede, Ampie Omo en Leon Retief, besluit het om hulle musiekinstrumente weg te bêre in 2004, het Chris Chameleon sy vlerke gesprei deur sy Afrikaanse en Suid-Afrikaanse herkoms te ondersoek.

Hy het die hoog-aangeskrewe album ‘Ek Herhaal Jou’ uitgereik in 2005 – verwerkings van die poësie van die ikoniese digter uit die Sestigerjare, Ingrid Jonker.

Chris toer suksesvol 2012, 2013 & 2014 met ‘Klank van Jou Oë’ in Nederland en Belgie.

Na die toere volg die verfilming van die rolprent “Fanie Fourie’s Lobola” en speel die rol van ‘n popster genaamd Sarel Fourie (wat so gewild was dat hy sy eie album Dinky uitgereik het), in 2014 is dit ‘Suurlemoen’, waarin hy die karakter vertolk van Mnr Marx, ‘n skoolonderwyser.

Sy album “Herleef – Psalms en Gesange” in 2013, doen hy suiwer omdat dit van toeka tot nou sy siel roer en hom in ’n intieme gesprek bring met sy Skepper.

Hy is tans besig om sy volgende albumvrystelling, ‘Posduif’, 'n versameling toonsettings van die buitengewone en uitdagende gedigte van die jong digter, Daniella Deysel, bekend te stel.

Sy talle toekennings en nominasies sluit in Kanna, Innibos, Green Heart, Sama, Huisgenoot Tempo-toeken-

ning, Vonk-toekenning, Erepenning, FAK, MK, AMT toekennings & verskeie in elkeen, ongelooflik!

Slegs met sy kitaar en asemrowende, ongewone stemwerk, neem Chris Chameleon luisteraars op ‘n reis, na plekke van musikale betowering en verwondering.

Hy kom verras Walvisbaai met ‘Drie Vriende’ - ons kry 'n besondere kykie na die veel besproke wye verskeidenheid gedaantes van Chris Chameleon, Suid-Afrika se geliefde verkleurmannetjie.

Buiten sy eie, buitengewone aanbieding van musiek en fassinerende verhale, verskyn die vlamwarm jong digter Daniella Deysel (van Namibia) saam met Chris Chameleon om sy album bekendstelling ‘Posduif’, ‘n versameling van sy toonsettings van Deysel se aangrypende werk, te vertolk.

Die derde been van ‘Drie Vriende’ is die partytjie opskop doefdoef skollie Sarel Fourie wat ook sy verskyning maak om gehore by ‘Drie Vriende’ te trakteer in ‘n produksie wat 'n wye verskeidenheid van humor, erns, sielsmusiek en loslittige vermaak waarborg!

Die vertoning vind plaas op 4 Maart 2015 by die Walvisbaai Gemeenskapkerk saal.

Kaartjies kan gekoop word by Viggo Lund, Super Sport en Walvisbaai Apteek, Swakopmund by Kabouterland.

Vaughn during one of his performances school.

He is currently a Grade 10 learner at Dolphin Secondary school.

Although he has a soft spot for modern folk, Vaughn says he tries not to limit himself to a single genre because he has passion for all kinds of music and prefers to perform in different genres.

“Music has always been a part of my life, and something I have shared with various inspirational, musical family members.

I’ve always enjoyed entertaining people from a small age, but took it more seriously as from the age of 11 years where I started my training as a classical singer at the Wilna Lieben-

berg School of Music” he explains.

The talented artist says he has competed in various competitions which all gave him good results regarding his music.

Vaughn composed his first song at the age of 14 and has been entertaining people on a different level ever since.

He further states that he unfortunately has not released an album yet as he is still busy building up his fan base before he records anything.

Vaughn admits there were talks of a record deal from Traxstudio in South Africa but nothing came of it and he remains a free agent.

The young talented artist has quite a

few performances in his name both locally and beyond our borders. “I qualified for a singing competition in Bloemfontein once and ended up as the judge’s choice. Locally I have been busy absolutely everywhere and one of my previous special performances was opening for Zip Zap Circus” Vaughn says proudly.

Vaughn says he has been invited to entertain various sectors of the public and the response rose above his expectations to a point that his calendar is filling up with booking requests.

Other performances include entertaining at various local restaurants, and local radio stations.

The Erongo RED Board, Management and staff are humbled to receive this PMR.africa Award. This award proofs improvement in our operations and customer service after we scooped the Silver PMR.africa Award in 2013.

Top JSC Achievers

They promoted discipline, school spirit and enhanced the importance of Duneside's vision and mission statements, as a means of obtaining academic success. The Executive Council have also hosted the first ever “Sandkorreltjies� orientation concert which turned out to be a tremendous success and therefore, will become an annual event. A special thank you for the hard work and effort of the Executive Council.

We would like to wish the grade 8's of 2015 a big warm welcome to Duneside Private High School.

Confirmation class of 2014 God saw you getting tired, when a cure was not to be, He closed his arms around you and whispered, "Come to Me".

In tears we saw you sinking, we watched you fade away, our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay.

But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully free from pain, we could not wish you back to suffer so again.

So keep your arms around him Lord, and give him special care. Make up for all he suffered and all that seemed unfair.

We salute you Bradwin, you were a brave soldier.

Our deepest condolences to Caroline (Boela) and families.

Club Mako wins First Leg of NRSAA Interclub Competition Maria Davel-Wallis

The amateur sport association, the Namibia Rock and Surf Angling Association (NRSAA) had its first interclub competition at Mile 108 on Saturday.

Anglers from far and wide participated - 255 of them, from 15 different Namibian clubs. Their ages varied from 9 years to over 70.

Three weigh masters adjudicated the catch,

and made sure that nothing undersized was taken into account.

The anglers started at 7:30 Saturday morning, and although huge kabeljou and steenbras had been caught during the week,

the ones that took the bait on Saturday, were generally “less impressive” – but, after that has been said – quite a few big ones were eventually caught.

The competition ended around 15:30.

Basson calls on Namibians to support the Welwitschias Namibia Rugby Union (NRU) president Bradley Basson has called on the nation to rally behind the national team when they partake in the Vodacom Cup and the Rugby World Cup this year.

The NRU received a sponsorship of N$1 750 000 from First National Bank (FNB) Namibia last Thursday for the senior national rugby team dubbed the Welwitschias' - participation in the Vodacom Cup tournament next month.

“It's about time that fans started coming in numbers to the stadium, just like they did when we played the Blue Bulls here last year.

We need fans to fill up the stadium, because this will motivate our players to perform to their best levels.

If we can have a huge number of people cheering the team on, they can take down any giant,” enthused Basson. The Vodacom Cup will be used as preparation for the upcoming Rugby World Cup to be hosted in London, England during September.

Namibia qualified for the 2015 Rugby World Cup after ending top of their group at the Confederation of African Rugby (CAR) tournament. Namibia is in a tough group featuring New Zealand, Argentina, Tonga and Georgia. The president of the NRU further called

on the different sports codes to start supporting each other. “The time has come where all sport codes must start working with each other to help improve ourselves as we will learn from each other's mistakes, and look for ways on how to improve sports in this country.

If sponsors also come in numbers and start supporting the different codes in the country, we can expect to see sports grow,” Basson added. Namibia will play all their Vodacom Cup games at the Hage Geingob Stadium from 6 March.

Tickets are on sale for N$30 for the open stands, and N$60 for the main stand.

(NAMPA)

The Preliminary results were received from Hendrik Dry, who went out of his way to provide us with the facts.

He said final results would be available on the NRSAA website later today.

Visit www.nrsaa.com The winning club at this First of 5 League competitions was Mako.

The individual winner, Warren Deysel is also a member of Mako Species caught : 1. 29 Spotted Gully sharks – Biggest 21.3 kg's Roberto Celotto – Orca Angling Club 2. 2 Smooth Hound Sharks – Biggets 81. Kg's – Warren Deysel – Mako 3. 5 Blacktails – Biggest 1.8 kg's Adri Roets – Atlantic Angling Club 4. 39 Galjoen : biggest 1.4 kg's Jaco Mac Gillicuddy – Skeleton Coast Angling Club 5. 42 Cob biggest 3.6 kg's Andrew V/d Westhuizen – Mako

The vision of the NRSAA is “To promote and grow substantially the sport of rock and surf angling in Namibia as a healthy, character building ( which includes such values as sportsmanship, dedication, hard work, compassion, competitiveness and the desire to improve oneself and those around you), as well as an environmentally sustainable sport that young and old persons of both genders and all races desire to partake in.

It strives “to be the association that is respected worldwide for leadership in all matters related to this sport.”

Rugby, Rugby en nog Rugby!

Leandrea Louw

Hierdie naweek was Kudus in aksie teen Reho Falcons in hul eerste vriendskaplike wedstryd vir die jaar. Die wedstryde was gereël om die spelers gereed te kry vir die liga wat 7 Maart afskop. Kudus se eerste ligawedstryd sal teen Dolphins wees.

Die eerste wedstryd op Saterdag was Kudus 2 en Reho Falcons 2, waar Kudus druipstert van die veld moes afdraf met n telling van 15- 17 in die guns van die Valke.

Dit was ‘n kragtige wedstryd met talle beserings en het gedurig die toeskouers

op hul voete gehad.

Die tweede wedstryd het Kudus geseëvier oor die Valke met ‘n telling van 24-0.

Die twee wedstryde was net 'n voorsmakie, van wat die rugbyseisoen vir ons inhou.

Die sewes liga kom Woensdag tot ‘n einde met die laaste ron-

domtalie wedstryde wat gespeel word met die finale wat net daarna volg.

Kudus 1 en Dolphin2 kom môre te staan in hul laaste rondomtalie wedstryd terwyl die twee spanne weer later die aand sake in die finaal gaan uitspook nadat hulle reeds die

twee top plekke bespreek het.

Die kragmeting tussen die twee spanne is die wedstryd waarvoor almal reeds weke voor wag en môre gaan die toeskouers twee keer die geleentheid kry om die spanne teen mekaar te sien speel.

Die sewes was baie

goed ondersteun en met môre se finaal kan weereens 'n gepakte stadion verwag word.

Die wedstryde sal môre weer op Narraville Stadion plaasvind.

Hekgeld is N$10.00 per persoon en N$5.00 per skolier.

Woensdag se program is as volg: 1. Walvisbaai v/s Swakop 2. Kudus 1 v/s Dolphins 2 3. Kudus 2 v/s Dolphins 1 4. 6de v/s 5de 5. 4de v/s 3de 6. 2de v/s 1ste
