inside Dippenaar pleads today

Erwin Leuschner

The search for the body of David Thomas continues after the 28 year-old drowned in the Mole on Sunday afternoon. The initial search by the Sea Rescue Institute of Namibia (SRIN) and various other organisations lasted more than two hours.

According to Adri Goosen of the Swakopmund Fire and Rescue Services the tragic incident occurred at about 15:30. Two brothers and a friend were playing in the ocean in the Mole area. The sea temperature was above 20° Celsius.

According to witnesses the deceased and his brother both landed in trouble while playing in the ocean. Initially the brother tried to assist and

Murder at Swakopmund Page 4

The Cancer Association of Namibia opens an official branch and a clinic in Swakopmund during the 2nd quarter of this year, the Chief Executive Officer of the Association, Rolf Hansen confirmed yesterday.

Hansen made this announcement during a media briefing where he delivered the Cancer Association's 2017 Year Message to the public.

Hansen said this will expand the footprint of the Association in the Erongo Region. Adding now more than ever before it is necessary for Namibians to support the Cancer Association of Namibia to strengthen the fight against cancer through education, awareness and willingness to commit resources like money and time.

“We need support. So please donate where and what you can financially, but also donate your time as volunteers to make fundraiser projects a success. Also, to help with campaigns to educate, to welcome our teams in your communities and homes, venues and schools to present talks, mobile clinics, bush clinics and educational talks”, Hansen said.

Drowning Continued from page 1 grabbed Thomas by the foot, but also landed in trouble. He apparently let go of his brother, swam to shore to save himself and to sound the alarm. A crowd of onlookers gathered very quickly at the scene.

An extensive search by SRIN as well as various other organisations did not yield any results though. “The current was very strong,” said Goosen. The search and rescue turned into a search and recovery operation. SRIN divers were called in as to search and retrieve the body but to no avail mainly due to poor visibility.

According to Detective Chief Inspector Erastus Iikuyu, acting regional crime investigations co-ordinator for Erongo, the deceased was a resident of Swakopmund. “His body is not yet found but the search is on,” he said.

Goosen calls on the public to be extra vigilant and careful when swimming in the ocean, this is especially true for swimmers who aren't very experienced.

During the recent holiday season the West Coast Safety Initiative (WCSI) reported one drowning at Pebble Beach as well as at least 25 neardrownings, bringing the total drownings up to two.

The WCSI issued a word of appreciation to those who assisted and supported at the scene on Sunday: Nampol, Swakopmund Municipal Fire and Rescue Services, E-Med Rescue 24, Sea Rescue Institute of Namibia and the Swakopmund Neighbourhood Watch.

Cancer Association Continued from page 1 Apart from the Erongo Region, the Cancer Association has also made strides elsewhere in the country. At Rehoboth, the local Committee of the Association established a fixed office. Later this week on Friday this committee mobilises people of Rehoboth not only to renew their pledge to fight cancer at this town, but also to bring the fight to every resident of the Hardap Region.

In Windhoek, the Association purchased a property adjacent to its existing “House Acacia Interim Home” to address the need of children undergoing cancer treatment in the capital city. In most instances children undergoing treatment need one of their parents or guardian with them. Currently cancer patients' parent or guardian are only allowed a full-time stay with the patient at the Windhoek Central Hospital for a period of two weeks.

Once this property has been equipped it will be known as the CHICA interim home (Children Fight Cancer in Namibia interim home). Initially it will accommodate five mothers, whilst two bedrooms are earmarked for “motherchild stays”. The stay includes three nutritional meals. The Circle of Hope Support Programme is also within reach for these parents, guardians or patients to help ease the emotional burden accompanying a cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Additionally, the Association also looks forward to the completion of a new and bigger cancer clinic for the Khomas Region. The clinic will mainly be used for cervical cancer screening, breast cancer screening, prostate cancer screening and tests as well as the management of educational talks, referrals to specialists and psychological support, according to Hansen in his address.

In itself House Acacia Interim Home is also raising the bar. The facility adds another five sleeping quarters for patients receiving treatment in Windhoek.

Currently House Acacia can accommodate 23 patients, but after the extensions it would accommodate up to 35 patients.

Government lending starts to show consequences - DTA of Namibia Over the last seven months the consequences of Government's tendency to borrow money internationally to finance consumption and unproductive capital projects have begun to emerge. In July 2016 Fitch Ratings downgraded our country's Long Term Local Currency Rating from BBB to BBB-. While this may have appeared as a minor technical adjustment, it in fact set in motion a gradual deterioration of the risk profile of Government bonds. Then, in September 2016 Fitch Ratings revised Namibia's Outlook from stable to negative. This revision was preceded by a change in the outlook on Namibia's Baa3 rating from stable to negative by Moody's Investor Service in December 2016.

In its downwards revision of Namibia's outlook, Fitch Ratings primarily cited the country's ballooning budget deficit, as well as the unrestricted growth of public debt as a percentage of GDP as the main drivers behind its decision. This triggered an acknowledgment by Government, for the first time, of the magnitude of the crisis facing Namibia and set off an urgent endeavour to consolidate Government spending as was evidenced in Finance Minister Calle Schlettwein's Midyear Budget Review in Parliament. However, despite Government's efforts, Moody's Investor Service, in the abovementioned outlook downgrade, pointed to slower than expected fiscal consolidation for the current financial year and a continued increase in public debt. This is significant as it indicates that Government is not cutting enough expenditure which in turn accounts for the continued growth in public debt. The most worrying point is of course the fact that should Government not meet targets set by Fitch Ratings in terms of reducing spending and debt, it would result in a downgrade of Namibia's Sovereign Investment Rating.

Furthermore, in the latter stages of 2015 and all throughout 2016 rumblings and whispers emerged of a looming Government cash/liquidity crisis. The Finance Minister and the President's Economic Advisor at different times engaged in futile efforts to deny that Government was running out of money, however, the end of 2016 painted a different picture.

In the first instance, Government refused to accede to demands by public school teachers for an 8,5% salary increase stating that it simply did not have the money to pay for such an increase. Secondly, in December last year it emerged that Government owed private contractors in the construction industry an estimated N$2 billion and it only managed to pay out N$400 million leaving many professional service providers in the lurch. Thirdly, also in December 2016, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Justice informed private lawyers that had rendered services to government through the provision of legal aid that they would not be reimbursed for their services. Finally and most recently, the Ministry of Safety and Security issued a notice indicating that recruitment into the Namibian Police Force would be put on hold for the next three years. These instances are a clear indication that Government faces a liquidity crisis, yet somehow senior Government officials have found it prudent to keep Namibians in the dark on the true nature of the crisis.

Government's ad-hoc crisis management approach to addressing the pervasive haemorrhaging of the economy is not sustainable in the long term. In fact, Government has not been able to pull this off over the short term, and reference is hereby made to Moody's citing slower than expected financial consolidation. Should Government wish to return the economy to growth, it will need to take a proactive approach to reducing public expenditure. It is my belief that Government must immediately announce a reduction in the size of civil service, which accounts for a disproportionate percentage of public expenditure through the civil service wage bill.

Government's role in creating employment must be limited to creating and maintaining a legislative and policy environment that is conducive to the establishment of private business and attractive to foreign investment. A government should never be directly involved in employment creation to the extent that the Namibian Government has been since independence.

It is my conviction that over the longer term government must do away with all earlier targets for budget deficits, and that the national budget must be compiled with the distinct aim of generating a surplus. This is because it is only through accumulating sufficient reserves that one can embark on a sustainable and responsible programme of borrowing. In terms of investment, it is highly dangerous to borrow from capital markets in order to finance operational expenditure. If Government fails to heed this call, it is by no means any stretch of the imagination to foresee that negative outlooks will result in negative downgrades, with the resultant upwards impact on the cost of servicing Government debt.

Ultimately the cost of borrowing will continue to increase, liquidity will come under increasing and severe pressure, and the ultimate threat is that the economy as a whole will get stuck in a serious and protracted recession.

Now is the time for economic and financial discipline, as a lack thereof has the very real potential to undo all of the development progress that Government has experienced since 2010. It is time for Government to issue a clear directive on budget deficits and government debt, and it is even more important that Government's actions matches its words in this regard.

Jandré Dippenaar to plead today Erwin Leuschner

The start of the murder trial against Jandré Dippenaar, who is accused of causing a horrific motor vehicle accident in December 2014 claiming the lives of six people, will commence today.

The case was postponed yesterday in the Regional Court in Swakopmund.

The reason for yet another postponement in the high profile case was due to state prosecutor Hezekiel Iipinge requesting to make final consultations with his witnesses on Monday. “I have received the plea explanation by the defence and after perusing the docu-

ment wishes to consult the witnesses today,” said Iipinge. The application was granted

by Magistrate Gaynor Poulton, who remanded the case until this Tuesday morning.

Dippenaar, who is out on warning, is facing six charges of murder, a charge of driving without a valid licence and a charge of fraud, after he allegedly

pretended to the Roads Authority that his driving license was lost on 17 December 2014 and thereby induced the RA to issue him with a duplicate without having a valid driver's licence.

Dippenaar is represented by lawyer Petrie Theron and advocate Louis Botes.

Jandré Dippenaar (centre) consults with his laywer Petrie Theron and advocate Louis Botes after yesterday's brief court appearance. He is expected to plead to the charges, including six counts of murder, today.

The Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources herewith warns the general public not to consume mussels originating from the Walvis Bay Aquaculture Production Area.

Mussel samples from the Walvis Bay Aquaculture Production Area have been tested for biotioxins during the most recent official sampling and testing facilitated by the Namibian Standards Institution (NSI) as part of the National Shellfish Sanitation Programme. The latest test results from the mussel samples that were submitted for testing indicate the presence of Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP) at a level higher than the permissible level in these samples and therefore it is unsafe to collect and consume mussels until further notice by the Ministry. Members of the public should note that marine biotixins are not destroyed by cooking or freezing.

Diarrhetic shelfish poisoning (DSP) is one of the four recognized symptom types of shellfish poisoning, the other being paralytic shelfish poisoning, neurotoxic shelfish poisoning and amnesic shelfish poisoning. As the name suggests, this syndrome manifests istself as intense diarrhea and severe abdominal pains. Nausea and vomiting may sometimes occur too.

DSP and its symptoms usually set in within about half an hour of ingesting infected shelfish, and last for about one day. The causative poison is okadaic acid, which inhibits intestinal cellular de-phosphorylation. This causes the cells to become very permeable to water and causes profuse, intense diarrhea with a high risk of dehydration. As no life-threating symptoms generally emerge from this, no fatalities from DSP have ever been recorded.

When any of the above symptoms occur after eating molluscan shelfish then seek immediate medical assistance and inform the medical practisioner that you have consumed molluscan shelfish.

Property prices in Swakop and Walvis rival the capital Erwin Leuschner

The highest median property prices recorded for the third quarter of 2016 in the entire country emanated from Henties Bay, Swakopmund and Windhoek. Currently the average price stands at N$1.2 million for the coastal towns, while the prices in Windhoek are edging on the N$1.5 million. This was now revealed in the latest FNB National Price Index.

According to the recent Index property prices at the central coast sky-rocketed yet again, which can in part be attributed to poor volumes. “Prices increased by 16% at Henties Bay and 34% in Walvis Bay and Swakopmund,” the recent Index states.

In Swakopmund the median property price has increased by a staggering 105% from the year 2010.

When the prices are compared with a quarter-on-quarter average volume growth in Walvis Bay and Swakopmund has declined sharply: -53% for both towns. In Henties Bay volume growth slumped as well (-22%). According to the Index this can be attributed to demand which has weakened across all segments.

“Fundamentally, the consumer's prospects remain daunting as they wrestle with (a) higher inflatory environment and a rising interest rate cycle,” comments Daniel Kavishe, Market Research Manager, FNB Namibia. This is further exasperated due to the wage growth remaining low as business tries to contain costs within a constrained economic backdrop.

“Looking forward, we estimate house price growth will taper down to 10% at the end of 2016 with potential upper bound at 13%. The twelve month cumulative growth in volumes remains negative at -20% which poses downside risks to overall market demand which continues to soften,” Kavishe explains. Therefore he remains “cautiously bearish about the property market, despite the price recovery during the third quarter.”

Nedbank financing the Dunes Mall in Walvis Bay Nedbank Namibia is driven by uplifting and building our communities across the African continent. As such, the bank has secured yet another milestone development deal, financing the 'Dunes Mall' in Walvis Bay.

and 2040 and we are pleased to partner with Atterbury - a developer with a solid track record for retail property- in Namibia.

This partnership is an opportunity for us to o ff e r o u r c l i e n t s expertise and knowledge as the market

leader in the commercial property finance industry,” says Christo Kruger, Head: Property Finance at Nedbank.

Walvis Bay is wellknown for its deepwater harbour, which offers an efficient and economical option for

cargo trans-shipment between the African, European and American trade markets.

The Walvis Bay Corridors consist of a network of transport corridors linking Namibia with other southern African countries. It includes the Port of Walvis Bay, Trans Caprivi C o r r i d o r, Tr a n s Kalahari Corridor and the TransCunene Corridor.

The new retail site is also located directly east of the Walvis Bay circle, along the C14 Road towards t h e Wa l v i s B a y Airport, which is primed as a gateway into the town centre.

“The site is ideal for retail development due to its location in a very accessible area, primed as a gateway into the town centre of Walvis Bay. The site is central to seabased industries such as fishing and harbour based economic activity that has contributed to the town's gradual growth,” says Kruger.

While 2016 is poised to be a difficult year for many African economies, positive sentiment around the continent's future prospects remains.

Sub-Saharan Africa is poised to be a new growth frontier. According to the AT Kearney's '2015 Global Retail Development Index' sub-Saharan Africa 'will be the big story by 2040. It's going to be a bumpy road getting there, but in another 30 years it could be the biggest, fastest, attractive, strongest, and most attractive region for retail in the world'.

“With its fast urbanisation, rising household income and growing middle class, Namibia – and the rest of the subSaharan African region – still presents a good opportunity for retail property,” concludes Kruger.

North and South Clearing wins international award Coastal child care institutions need to ensure they comply with standards Operating a daycare centre is literally not child's play anymore. This comes after a woman who operated a day care centre was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the Windhoek Magistrate's Court last week, after an 11-month-old boy drowned in the swimming pool at the day care centre in 2012. The woman, Catherine Agnes van den Berg, is due for sentencing later this month.

Aune Nakambonde-Kainde Why she didn't lock the door (gate) where the baby manage to reach the swimming poor??No body expect type of this news ,once you drop youir toddler,baby,at day care.This is a sour pain & trauma..am feel sorry for Van den Berg,but justice is justice.

Amanda Baard Not the Ministry of Health and Social Services but the Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare.. Tuyeni Dishena Margret Richter health also involved...gender also have other requirements Tuyeni Dishena I didn't know Min of Health is also directly involved, first time to hear. And I see problem here, different requirement esp regarding the indoor/outdoor space.

Amanda Baard Yes i think its only mgecw and municipality involved Margret Richter health has their regulations re health Tuyeni Dishena But Min of Gender requirements are also addressing health issues. Centres will be confused after reading Namib Times especially since Min of Gender which is a custodian of ECD is not mentioned anywher in the article.

Amanda Baard I agree Tuyeni Dishena Carlito Spencer Karlo Unfortunate incident...

Scene of horror: This picture of the FJ Cruiser allegedly driven by Jandré Dippenaar in December 2014 Which ploughed into an oncoming vehicle on the Henties Bay road, killing six people of whom three were passengers in his vehicle and three tourists in the oncoming vehicle.

Dippenaar is going on trial for this incident on Monday. He faces six murder charges as well as a charge of fraud.

Chris Engels If you just look at the vehicle then im sure that the word allegedly is not necessary he was in the wrong and caused the deaths of innocent people.

Monolito Du Toit Newspapers have to say allegedly in order to cover themselves. Thats why almost every second word in the namib times is allegedly. If they do not include the word alledgedly then they are stating a fact(even if true) and they can get sued.

Chantelle Roets It's like that in every newspaper.

Andre Coetzee sad but true.

Essie Herbst Would like to share the following information with you. Please think before you post! Got the info from 'wat se die wet in Namibia ' read it if you like Neem asseblief die onderstaande in ag wanneer op sosiale media.Please take the time to read it.

Consider point 10 About Administrators Dear I have just spent two days on social media training with one of the big law firms. I am not a lawyer, so the following is just a summary of what I have learned from a lawyer who specialises in social media Throughout the training I couldn't help thinking of what some users post on here. Below are some tips that are intended to allow people to protect themselves 1. Take great care in making accusations or negative statements about anyone or any entity even if what you are saying is true. Under our law, statements MAY be defamatory EVEN IF THEY ARE true (Our law on defamation is not the same as in the States, which many people assume). In other words, you may be charged with defamation even if what you are saying is entirely correct.

Something needs to be true AND in the public interest (not 'interesting to the public') for you to have a defence against defamation. Just avoid it.

It's a minefield .2. Do not talk about your boss, spouse, ex-spouse, ex-friend, neighbour, etc. in a negative way and certainly, don't bring children into it! Even if you

keep the identities of those people anonymous, you can still fall foul of the law if those people can be identified by their relationship to you.

3. Do not badmouth your company online. They are well within their rights to dismiss you, even if you are badmouthing them on your own personal, private Facebook page! (They can do the same if you express racist, sexist, etc. sentiments online even if what you are saying has nothing to do with your company or anyone in it) 4. If your comments are (or may deemed to be) racist, sexist, discriminatory based on religion, culture, sexual preference, etc. they may amount to hate speech. This is a crime for which you can be prosecuted. (And you don't have to go as far as Penny Sparrow to get you in trouble) 5. Many people believe that they will be protected by the right to freedom of speech. Your freedom of speech ends when it infringes on another's right to dignity or privacy. Case law suggests that the courts take a pretty dim view of 'I have a right to say what I like" as a defence when you have invaded someone's privacy or undermined their dignity 6. 'Naming and shaming' is particularly risky -it can infringe on someone's right to privacy, can amount to harassment and can amount to defamation. Many people believe it is ok to post a picture of someone's car and registration plate if they are driving badly, haven't strapped their kids in or have parked in disabled parking. This can get you into huge trouble - particularly if you were breaking the law while getting the photo/footage (e.g. driving while taking pictures or video on your cellphone) 7. Anything posted online is considered to be 'published' and is therefore not the same as you expressing your opinion in the pub or amongst friends. You cannot use as a defence "It was my own personal opinion". Also, social media posts are not afforded the same protection/leeway under the law as journalism

North and South Clearing, owned and operated by Walvis Bay business couple, Mr. Boetie and Mrs. Adelaine Bruwer, stood proud in London in the United Kingdom recently.

Architect Kerry McNamara dies One of Namibia's most renowned architects, Kerry McNamara, lost a battle against cancer on Monday night. He passed away in a Swakopmund hospital aged 76. He leaves behind his wife Shelagh, three sons Kevan, Rowan and Malachy and daughter Bevinn McNamara.

Caryn Rumsey Kerry, you were an absolute Icon for Namibia and will be sorely missed. It was an HONOUR to have known and worked with you. Rest in peace Sir. To Shelagh, Kevan, Rowan,Malachy and Bevinn, my sincere condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Caryn - Namibia Marketing Technology.

Dina Shigwedha RIP father. We had bread on our table because of you. My husband was employed at your company for many years. May the heavenly angels carry your soul to eternal peace.

EBHN changes its stance on Ryazanovka Ship repair and marine industrial stakeholder Elgin Brown Hamer Namibia (EBHN) put into perspective this week reasons why it would conduct ship repair work to the Ryazanovka, the vessel that has been linked to a controversial application by a Chinese-owned company to the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources to capture live dolphins, orca whales, seals and penguins for live export to Asia.

Gert Jacobie If EBHN really, really had to jump over their shadow to do the work, humor us....

Provide the job card and the invoice for public scrutiny, then subtract real cost of repairs and pay the VAT. Then, take every single penny of the profit and publicly donate it to an environmental outfit to serve conservation. How's that for a way out of this dilemma!

Möller murder suspects say police manhandled them One of the five suspects accused of murdering well known tourism businessman, Mr. Hans Jörg Möller in his home in Walvis Bay last year has been injured. David Tashiya [accused 2] says the circumstances under which they were transported between Windhoek and Walvis Bay for their court appearances was harsh, as they remained handcuffed throughout and as a result he fell in the moving vehicle and banged his head.

Agneta Matsuis You assault a woman and murdered the man in cold blood and want to be transported like royalty. The nerve of his criminals only thinking about themselves and not the victims. They should have dragged your ass behind the car all the way to Walvis Bay.

SDP 20: Ready to share their findings!

The Summer Drylands Programme (SDP), a joint venture between Gobabeb Research and Training Centre and the Desert Research Foundation of Namibia, is an annual twomonth research intensive internship for current students or recent graduates from Namibian tertiary institutions.

The internship programme aims to empower young, emerging scientists and equip them with experience and training in research methodology through applied approaches, critical thinking and problem solving. The programme brings the students to unique desert areas of the country to gain handson field work experience that they are not able to obtain from within a class-room environment. The 2016 -2017 programme marks the 2 0 t h y ear o f t h i s successful training opportunity. Previous SDP alumni have gone on to make significant contributions in the environmental sector and many are highly regarded as innovators, scientists and thought-leaders in their respective fields.

SDP 20 is composed of 12 talented students studying a variety of biological related fields including microbiology, natural resource management and agriculture. The main objective of this year's research is to determine the impact of artificial water points on wildlife conservation in the Namib Desert, a hyperarid system. The impacts of the artificial water points were determined using a variety of methods measuring several variables, chiefly vegetation, dung, tracks and soil. SDP students conducted their research at four water holes located in the Namib-Naukluft Park: Natab a Topnaar settlement along the Kuiseb River; Gemsbokwater near Ganab; Tsamsvlei, close to Sesriem campsite at Sossusvlei; and Escourt a former commercial farm, agricultural research station and now a facility of the Ministry of Environment and Tourism. The data collected by the students will also be shared with and utilised by the global Biodesert Survey, a project run by the University of Rey Juan Carlos in Spain, which focuses on determining the impacts of grazing and

climate change in arid systems around the world.Thus, the SDP participants' data and findings will not only contribute to the body of knowledge re-

garding the Namib Desert, but also towards a greater understanding of drylands worldwide.

This year's SDP

students are an exceptionally de-dicated and consciences group, waking up at 4:30 in the morning to conduct field work

The drought-stricken and waterless settlement Uis has finally received its first rain for this season. Eight millimetres were recorded by residents on Wednesday afternoon. The residents are very grateful for the water Namibians have given them.

Erongo Powersave Street Mile to include Paralympic categories Erongo Powersave Street Mile to include Paralympic catergories The fifth edition of the Erongo Power Save Street Mile in Omaruru in October will feature a Paralympic category inspired by Israel Kaulume, a disabled participant last year.

The category T42-44 will enable disabled participants in the street mile to compete.

Athletes in this category have single below knee amputations or can walk with moderately reduced function in one or both legs.

Kauluma, who was the first disabled athlete to participate in the event, competed in the Masters' Men category, hitting 11 minutes and 23 seconds in the 1.5 kilometre road race, using a wheelchair.

“My office is engaging Athletics Namibia and the Paralympic Committee to make sure everything is done according to guidelines for Paralympic games,” Omaruru Regional Sports Officer, Bethold K a r u m e n d u t o l d N a m p a o n T h u r s d a y.

Karumendu said many disabled people have an interest in participating in the street mile but are hindered because of a lack of suitable wheelchairs.

“Many people with impairments are hidden; let's encourage them to participate in the race,” Karumendu said The T42-44 category will join the senior men and women's category for people between 20 and 39 years old, junior men and women (ages 14-19), veteran men (ages 40-49), masters' men and women (ages 50 and above), and boys and girls

(ages 10-13).

The introduction of the Paralympic category brings along a number of challenges such as access to suitable wheelchairs, however Karumendu is confident that these challenges will be addressed.

Last year, Erongo Power Save Street Mile attracted 947 participants backed by sponsorship from Shield Namibia through the Omaruru-based Erongo Powersave Wholesaler; Ministry of Sports, Youth, and National Service; Pasta Polana; Marathon Sugar; Windhoek Light; Coca-Cola and First National Bank.

Karumendu has already started engaging sponsors in preparation for this event, which has become an annual highlight for local runners .

60th RVS equestrian tournament ends with six-bar competition highlight Not less than five days long was the 60th equestrian tournament hosted by the ReiterVerein Swakopmund (RVS) recently. On the last tournament day, Sunday, things got exciting once again. After various jumping competitions came the team jumping event. The most interesting part of the day was without a doubt the final six-bar competition.

In total the visitors saw eight tests on Sunday.

The competition kicked off at 9:00 with the point jumping event over 1.20 metres. The first place went to Aniké Maritz on Capone, while Nadine Flemming and Seeis Shelton started the last day with a silver ribbon.

Over the 1.10 metres competition Kerstin Garbade on Voigtskirch Avatar made it to the top spot with the fastest time. Second place went to Michelle Künzle and Okuhepa Pomme D'Or. Ingrid Kotze and Opto Namibia Assegai Sentinel was thrid with Pia Gebhardt and Bastos Twahil shortly behind.

In the 1.00 metres competition Jayd Bassi Hanssen and Assegai Scandal had their big performance. She cleared the parkour without any mistakes – the only rider out of 16 participants in this category. Sabine Gogol and Zalencia were in second place, followed by the German rider Maren Kardel and Claratal Duneside Kiera as well as Jessica Kreiner on Manna from Heaven.

In the 90cm class Jayd Bassi Hanssen cleared the course with best time. Together with Jessica Kreiner she had the fastest horse on the course.

Jessica Kreiner and Kiara got in second place.

Svenja Späth and Davetsaub Sans Souci's came in third followed by Werner Bartsch and Branic Always a Pleasure as well as Julia Esslinger and Wildfang.

In the team jumping competition five teams consisting of four participants each eyed the big prize. The winner was Team Chaotic consisting of Ariane Wieland, Jayd Bassi Hanssen, Pia Gebhardt and Aniké Maritz. In second place came Team Okaswakis, a mix of riders from Okahandja and Swakopmund: Sumari Piepmeyer, Nicole Nederlof, Dr. Beate Voigts and Laura Pflippen. Team Germany received bronze. The team consisted of Kira Mier (GER), Maren Kardel (GER), Werner Bartsch (NAM) and Holger Kleyenstüber (NAM).

After this competition had a short break as the course was set up for the six-bar competition.

Six obstacles were set up in a straight line with the last bar being raised until a winner was decided. Eight riders with their horses participated. One mistake was allowed as the

riders could be bought back into the competition.

In the second last round the bar was raised to 1.65 metres. On this level only riders taking part at the highest international tests take part – and now also in Swakopmund.

Only two participants remained when the bar was raised a final time to 1.80 metres: Svenja Späth and Metzger Drillling Bodenhausen Zambezi and Michelle Künzle on Erongo Wilderness Stud Seeis Mon Gold. Michelle was first, but due to a refusal at the last bar fell out.

Therfore Svenja needed to only finish the course to secure a win. Even though she knocked the final bar she second the first place. It was the first time after a long break that a six-bar competition was reintroduced – with much praise.

The emotional finale of the day and the entire tournament was the parade of riders and participants. More than 40 riders took part in this event. The chairperson of the RVS, Marc Esselmann, thanked everybody who made the tournament a success.

Afterwards various trophies were awarded: Best Style Children: Jenna Gilchrist Best Style Juniors: Jessica Kreiner Café Anton floating trophy – Best Style Adults: Gesche Gilchrist Claudia Holbeck Memorial award: Emily Braune Best children rider in dressage and jumping on one horse: Carmen Piepmeyer and Jason Best Junior dressage and jumping on one horse: Nadine Flemming and Seeis Shelton Best adult rider in dressage and jumping on one horse: Ingrid Kotze and Assegai Sentinel J. von Wenzel Namib trophy for the rider best caring for his/her horse: Annette Künzle Holger & Silvia floating trophy for best children jumping rider on one horse: Abigail Jamieson and Cherubim Kay RVS floating trophy for the greatest sportsmanship: Maren Kardel Most successful junior jumping rider on one horse: Nadine Flemming and Seeis Shelton

“Make a Difference” WBPHS Primary School Athletics Day

Well done to Junior Victrix; Alisha Derks (U/8), Junior Victor; Guanito Noble (U/9), Senior Victrix; Jade Fourie (U/13) and Senior Victor; The primary school of the Walvis Bay Private High School had their inter-house athlethics competition on Saturday where the three school teams Seals, Dolphins and Sharks battled it out on the track and field. Sharks took the day with 1478 points.

“Make a difference”, was the theme for this year.

Sharks team members made the difference.

According to Ané Anekom, one of the organisers of the event, the day went off exceptionally well. Teachers and pupils and their parents all co-operated and she expressed gratitude for this.

Walvis Bay Private High School strikes a good balance between academics and sport and strives

perpetually to develop the school's sports capacity and its sports prestige. It therefore encourages learner participation in sports events such as the in house athletics and for parents to support their children on such sports days.

For those who qualified over the weekend there is still hard work ahead, as they now prepare for the Zonals later this year.
