“I am declaring war on poverty and inequality”
Newly sworn-in President of Namibia, Dr Hage Geingob has promised to serve all Namibians without exception. Geingob made the promise in his acceptance speech during the country’s Silver Jubilee Independence celebrations in Windhoek on Saturday. Hage Geingob was sworn in as president, three months after he was elected in a landslide victory. He replaces Hifikepunye Pohamba, also of SWAPO, who served the country for ten years. Before his election, Geingob served as Namibia’s prime minister. The 73-year-old president marked his inauguration by pledging to tackle poverty among the vast desert nation’s 2.2 million population. “I am declaring war on poverty and inequality,” Geingob said in front of a packed stadium in the capital
Windhoek. Geingob, leader of South West Africa People’s Organisation (SWAPO), won the November 2014 vote with 87 percent of the vote, to become Namibia’s third democratically elected leader. Namibia, which gained indepen-
dence from South Africa in 1990, after decades of German rule, delayed the inauguration to coincide with its independence day. The ceremony was attended by several regional leaders including President Jakaya Kikwete of Tanzania, President Ian Khama
of Botswana and President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe who has close ties with Namibia, and Vice-president Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa. Geingob admitted in 2012 that the wealth of the uranium rich country was controlled by 10 percent of the

after 25 years of independence, Namibians want food, shelter, clothing, love and better housing. Namibians, he said also want a leader who will act quickly to their needs. Despite the fact it is a daunting tasks to meet these expectations, Geingob said he has full confidence that working together as ‘one people’, the nation could rise up to these expectations. “Fellow Namibians, the main priority for the next administration will be to address the social-economic issues that exist in the country,” the new
Head of State promised. Namibia, he noted, has been successful in implementing sound macroeconomic policies. The prerequisites for a prosperous nation Geingob said, include good constitutions, peace and democracy. “We are however aware that people don’t eat constitutions, peace or democracy. People eat decent food, live under decent shelter and enjoy decent employment,” he said. Thus his administration's first priority will be to declare all-out war on poverty and concomi-
tant inequality, he noted. The new government’s focal point will be to address inequality, poverty and hunger that will involve looking at a range of policies and interventionist strategies to tackle this issue. It is for these reasons, Geingob stated, that government has put in place a revised structure that will exist for the next five years. Geingob says he plans to expand and spread the opportunities for growth and prosperity to be enjoyed by all Namibians in all parts of the country, with a spe-
cific focus on the disadvantaged sections of the population. Outgoing president Pohamba said he looked back with satisfaction because his government had achieved many of its national development goals during his term in office. “There are still many socio-economic challenges facing our people, especially the youth, women and vulnerable sections of our population. Two of the most pressing are poverty and unemployment,” he said. NAMPA

club should be self-sufficient, as the majority of their players originates from poor families and it does not seem right to ask them for contributions. Some of the players are also on loan at the club and money is needed to keep them, he noted. JC Harris Park FC was officially established in 2013, although being on
the football scene since 2011. The club is registered with the Namibian Football Association (3rd Division). According to Green, the main aim of the club is to keep youths off the streets by giving them a chance to participate in something uplifting and constructive, through sports. “The love for the
sport of football brought us together,” Green says. He also noted that the town of Walvis Bay does not have a football team, partaking in any formal leagues, with only the suburbs of Kuisebmond and Narraville represented in the local leagues. “Our aim and goal is to change that, we aim to represent the town
of Walvis Bay, and not where you reside. A team for all youths from the town area,” remarked Green. They currently practise at Atlantis Sports Club and are busy with registration of the team and players for the 2015/16 season. An estimated amount of 30 football players are registered with Harris Park FC.
Qualified Namibians replaced with foreign labourers
“We have come to a decision to sell the team in hopes that it will be bought by someone/team that can give HPFC the attention it deserves,” Green concluded. He can be contacted at 081 292 8846 or 081 142 7108.

Furious and very frustrated mineworkers contacted the newspaper and expressed their dissatisfaction, concerning the fact that foreigners get preference when applying for jobs, at the expense of qualified Namibian workers. This is an ongoing scenario at most of the mines, countrywide, and Namibian employees are at the edge of taking matters in their own hands, one complainant noted. “Chinese, Ghanaians, Philippines, South Africans and Indians, to name a few, are taking our bread out of our mouths and our Government does nothing about it. Or maybe high-placed
government officials have a hand in the pie. We will not tolerate this any longer,” another unemployed, qualified mineworker fumed. Objections that these foreign employees receive way better benefit packages than their Namibian co-workers also surfaced. According to the disgruntled mineworkers these foreign employees get to go visit their families in their home
countries, all expenses paid. The salary scales of foreigners, apparently are higher than locals’, although they have the same qualifications. Another grievance is the fact that these non-nationals is provided with free accommodation, while locals have to pay rent for the homes they live in. The excuse of Namibian labourers not being qualified to do certain
jobs, which is frequently used by foreign contractors at mining companies, was laughed off. “The country has qualified labourers and contractors to do the job, and maybe even better, but they prefer to use their countrymen. Why not train the Namibian labourers to do those trades and send the foreigners home?” the newspaper was asked.
It is no secret that foreign companies prefer to employ their own experts, but the question remains, what happens to unemployed Namibian nationals with the same qualifications? With the high unemployment rate, under which Namibia is suffering, this set-up is not only discriminating against Namibians in their own country, but also unmerited. Foreign companies ob-
tain multi-million dollar contracts from the Government, under the pretext that they will supply jobs to locals, but after the tender is awarded that promise(s) is not kept. Although not all the foreign companies are guilty of excluding locals, regarding employment provision, it is a very serious situation which should be conducted as such.

Pro-Ed Academy up and running

The namib times visited Pro-Ed Academy yesterday to see if there have been any improvements since January this year. Pro-Ed Academy, a Christian private school of choice in Swakopmund building a new school on premises in Ocean View, came under the spotlight earlier this year when the grade zero to three children were moved from the old school to the new, half-finished school on Monday 19 January. Very upset parents, who dropped off their children at the new school on Wednesday, 14 January, said they were very shocked and worried when they had to leave their children at a building which was still
under construction. The complaints brought to our attention did not prevent the ongoing development of the building and the committed parents continued taking their children to the school. Today the
school is up and running. Even though the construction on the top floor is still on-going, the children are enjoying every moment at school - and there is no threatening noise or hazards. The new Pro-Ed school
consists of close to 17 staff members and 275 learners of which 100 are three year olds till grade zero. We also learnt that the school has received a certificate of completion in the meantime, and also a certificate of fitness from the Swakopmund Municipality. During the visit we found out that the school is also in the process of building a surrounding wall and a netball court for the girls. The bathroom for the girls looked stunning with paintings on the wall. The learners were all seated in their different classrooms and were very happy to see namib times. According to the teacher in charge of the new
school, Mrs Ingelore Van Staden, who also welcomed us with open arms, they will be building an administration block at the new premises, and also a soccer field for the boys. They will add classes on from grade four to 12 and it will eventually become a high school because it is not easy for parents who have children at the school in Kramersdorf as well as at the new premises – they say it takes times to pick up the children. Some of the classes have fewer than 20 children while others have more than 20. During our

Never leave items in vehicles!
Madelaine Laubscher
On Friday night, several people allegedly became the victims of car break-ins in the vicinity of the Yacht Club in Walvis Bay. The incident caused alarm and deep distress to the victims as several valuable items were stolen. One of the victims was from Windhoek, and had to spend the weekend worrying driving around with a broken window. They were also perturbed because there was no car guard at the parking lot – seemingly a car guard is on duty only from 22:00 at night. According to one of the victims the thieves smashed her window and stole her empty bag she had left hidden under a jersey. She repor-
ted the incident to the police. “I went to the club on Friday for dinner at 19:00. At around 21h00 I returned to my car and saw that the window at the driver’s side was shattered. My handbag was stolen. This was the second break-in that ocuured there that evening, I found out later.” She said she returned to the scene the following day and saw three heaps
of glass in the parking area, which could have meant that there were actually three break-ins. According to her, a camera was stolen from a car that was broken into only 45 minutes prior to the break-in into her car also at the parking lot of the Yacht Club. The namib times spoke to a member of the Walvis Bay Reaction Team who said “we cannot say this enough. People should never leave any valuable

Die meneer wat per sms met “kliënte” kommunikeer stel homself voor as ‘n regshulp verteenwoordiger, meneer Tjazuko. Hy benader blykbaar niksvermoedende familielede deur te noem dat hy vir die persoon wat in aanhouding is borg kan reël, of die saak uitstel teen ‘n fooi van N$5 000, wat in ‘n Bank Windhoek bankrekening inbetaal moet word. Die meneer is blykbaar opdringerig
wanneer die familie te lank na sy sin draal. Een van die teksboodskappe (in namib times se besit) lui, “Lat my assemblief weet wat julle besluit het want ek moet 3uur die court bel en lat weet of ek nog vor gan met die borgaansoek of moet ons maar die sak uitstel.” Nog ‘n teks boodskap lees, “Luister doen wat julle wil ek bel die court 3uur dan stel ek die sak uit so dan is julle problem ek stel uit tot august.
Ek sal die police van Swakop ok se lat hulle vir hom se ok dan lekker dag.” In hierdie geval het die familielid wat in Walvisbaai woon navraag gedoen en vasgestel dat die persoon wat in aanhouding is, glad nie regshulp aangevra het nie, en ook nie ‘n prokureur het nie. Hulle wil die gemeenskap in kennis stel van hierdie bedrogspul en waarsku om op hul hoede te wees vir hierdie tipe jakkalsstreke.

Woman sentenced after pouring soup on victim Mavourlene Gaes
Anti Gawases made an appearance at the Walvis Bay Magistrates court on Thursday facing a charge of assault with the intent to do grievous bodily harm for pouring soup on the complainant in the case. According to the complainant Alexandrine Dauses, she was busy selling cigarettes at Ekutu Latika local market in Kuisebmond on 10 January, when she saw Gaweses quarrelling with other people as she was passing by. “She turned around and when she saw me she asked if I thought she was afraid of my daughter “the security guard” – she then threatened to set my house on fire” she explained. Dausas said she immediately texted her daughter, telling her what the accused said and that is when Gawases broke a 750ml beer bottle and threatened her (Dausas) with it. “I told her to stab me if she wants; she then threw the bottle away, picked up a tin (powder milk tin) of boiling soup from the fire
and poured it over me” she continued. The complainant added that she received medical treatment for the burns she sustained on her left arm, her left shoulder, on both her breasts, on her left hip and on the left side of her back. Maintaining that she has no idea why the accused poured soup over her, Dausas told the court that the accused still has not stopped tormenting her, even after the incident with the soup, and allegedly threw a glass at her on 30 January. Gawases, who gave her sworn testimony admitted that the pot was on fire but claimed she never poured the hot soup over the complainant, but that she fell on the pot. According to state witness Rosina Swartbooi, who also gave her sworn
testimony, the incident took place at the market. “I saw both the accused and complainant standing at the table. At that time I was sitting a small distance from there, I saw Gawases breaking a bottle and chasing the complainant with the bottle. They both returned after a while. There was a tin on the fire so the accused picked it up and poured it over Dausas,” Swartbooi explained. Dausas appeared in front of Magistrate John Sindao Liwoyo who pointed out to the accused that her offence is considered serious and prevalent in the district of Walvis Bay, so much so that it appears on the court roll on a daily basis. Dausas was sentenced to 12 months in prison with the right to an appeal.

The Gondwana Memes, a charity organisation within the Gondwana Group identified a need at The Mwadinomo Pre-School and Day Care Centre. Marsh Namibia subsequently became aware of it via their quarterly newsletter and decided to assist. “At Marsh, we believe in the development of people to reach their full potential. Being a preschool and day care centre it is of utmost importance that the youth receive the best possible care in order for their future development and growth. With this contribution we know that the lives of the children at The Mwadinomo Pre-school and Day Care Centre will be enriched and we've made the teaching, caring and development a lot easier and more productive.” Mwadinomo Pre-school and Day Care Centre consists of 3 teachers and about 30 children. Ms Elina Shidolo, owner of Mwadinomo Pre-school and Day Care Centre was extremely grateful for the kind gesture. Marsh Namibia is hereby also challenging other insurance broker houses to contribute as well.

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?

In an article entitled “Marine phosphate mining moratorium to continue” in today’s edition the Minister removed all doubt about the duration of the Moratorium. He could not have been more explicit when he declared that “the moratorium will remain” and that it will be for “three years with an extension not excluded”. Significantly, he added emphatically that the moratorium “will still be in place until such time that … we have peace of mind”. The full text of the article reads as follows: TUESDAY marked exactly 18 months since Cabinet decided on 17 September 2013 to impose an 18-month moratorium on marine phosphate mining, and according to fisheries minister Bernhard Esau, the moratorium will remain. In fact, nearly a year ago on 24 March 2014, Esau said the moratorium would be for three years with an extension not excluded. The original notion of 18 months was, however, held to and propagated by those in the prospective industry and even the media. To remove any doubts about this, The Namibian contacted Esau on Tuesday to ask him whether he could confirm that the period for the moratorium will be for three years. “Scope studies to determine the terms of reference on a comprehensive moratorium is still ongoing. This will reveal whether phosphate mining will
have an impact on the environment, and that is why all is on hold, and the moratorium will still be in place until such time that we have agreed on the terms. It will be that long. It has been extended until such time that we have peace of mind,” Esau said. He stated that environmental clearances for prospective marine phosphate operations will only be considered if and when the moratorium ended. The Norwegian-based Foundation for Scientific and Industrial Research and the Institute of Marine Research have been contracted to identify the scientific requirements to assess impacts of marine phosphate mining on the ocean environment. Esau said he was still awaiting the report. “There are different structures. They are working with technical people who are experts. That technical committee will send a report to me and to the other line ministers of environment and tourism, works and transport and mines and energy. We are just waiting for the report and then we will convene a meeting to consider the way forward,” he said. This is an indication from Esau that will enable all those involved in the work of the technical committee to focus on the report at hand and not be concerned about the moratorium running out, as well as a clear message from the minister to all concerned not to expect quick decisions.”
http://www.namibian.com.na/indexx. php?id=24668&page_type=story_detail&category_id=1 It is important to note that the technical committee referred to by the Minister is reviewing the planned scientific studies independently of any industry players: clearly to ensure that the findings will be based purely on science and in no way be influenced by interests from any of the industries involved in and dependent on the marine environment. It is indeed gratifying to know that the two Norwegian Institutions will in no way allow their studies and report to be influenced or undermined by comments and actions that are scientifically irrelevant and questionable. On such a sound scientific foundation the Namibian Government will be able to eventually reach a well-considered decision that will be to the benefit of the country and for the protection of its marine resources. [NOTE: It is highly significant that when the new President announced his cabinet he entrusted both Minister Esau and his Deputy with their current portfolios thereby ensuring continuity in an important Ministry such as Fisheries and Marine Resources] Swakopmund Matters No 6 - 20 March 2015 (For Swakopmund Matters the environment of the Namibian coastline and its ocean matters)

The outgoing president of Namibia
Bloubulle diep geraak deur dood van vurige ondersteuner Toe ‘n plaaslike Bloubul-ondersteuner sterf, het van haar beste vriendinne ‘n huldeblyk in die namib times geplaas, waarin hulle op haar liefde vir die Bloubulle gefokus het.
President Hifikepunye Pohamba, delivered his last speech as president of the country, and expressed his pride of the country and the nation, and what they have achieved. Two athletes then in a relay before the eyes of the world, carried the symbol of the torch of leadership from one president to the other, signifying the transfer of power from the outgoing to the new.
Die huldeblyk is toe deur ‘n Bloubul-ondersteuner van Swakopmund aan die span se Besturende Direkteur gestuur, en in reaksie hierop het Barend van Graan van die BB Rugbymaatskappy, ‘n pragtige ruiker en ‘n boodskap van medelye namens die Bloubulle aan die ontslape ondersteuner gestuur. Vriende en familie was oorstelp oor dié besondere gebaar.

ACC zooms in on Walvis Bay Municipality
Senior official/s also under investigation…
An Anti-Corruption investigation, regarding the lease of Farm 38 by the Walvis Bay Municipality to Erongo Quarry & Civil Works is ongoing, after alleged irregularities surfaced. Juanita van der Westhuizen I fail to understand as to why exactly NAMPOL is creating “A SPECIAL UNIT” is being incorporated to protect the Chinese in our land. They are being treated like BLUE BLOOD and depriving Namibian Citizens of various construction contracts. Tunino Haskell Remember “How Lovers Hill was lost” Namib Times 27 April 2013 ? “Portion 1 of Farm 45 was sold to fishing magnate, Mr José Luis Bastos in 2002 for N$403 848. Late in 2012 Mr Bastos sold the property to a Chinese investor for N$20 million. Along with a number of conditions, Council resolved, “That approval be granted for the sale of 50 481 square metres of Farm 45 (Lovers Hill) to the Bastos Foundation for N$403 848 (N$8/m²) for the development of an Eco Tourism College.” Council minutes state clearly that, “if the applicant does not develop within 24 months from date of sale, or such time as allowable in terms of the building permits issued … the site [will] revert to Council and all legal costs be for the account of the applicant.” Five years later, on 27 November 2007, Council granted a further postponement and resolved that “if the applicant does not commence with the development, as per the initial application, on or before 1 December 2010, the site would revert to Council.” The issue has been mired in controversy for over a decade. The sale of Portion 1 of Farm 45 was originally approved by the Municipality of Walvis Bay in December 2002” And up to now nothing? Maybe a Chinese National should complain and we will see action or maybe even another special unit formed.

Naturone- Natural Progesterone Leandrea Louw
The answer, to countless questions. Naturone is a natural progesterone, vegetable oil based cream. It is the first available all natural progesterone cream available here in Walvis Bay as well as Namibia. Annemarie Roetz, agent for Naturone, told us that the reason why she decided to expose men and both women to this product is that she also suffered from depression and anxiety and this made ask, how can one person feel so miserable? She thought to herself that there has to be something wrong, or there has to be an imbalance of some sort in her body. She watched this program, whose main focus was that there should be a balance between your progesterone and oestrogen levels. The project was started by Dr John Lee, a doctor based in the States. He is known for his research in natural hormone treatments. The reason for the imbalance is that, manmade synthetic chemicals and environmental
pollutants are known to be 'endocrine disruptors' causing hormonal imbalances. Some, referred to as Xenooestrogens' mimic oestrogen and are causing imbalance between the body's oestrogen levels and progesterone levels because of their estrogenic effect in nature. Xeno-oestrogen are present in food, water and even the air. An excess of oestrogen in the body leads to many types of health problems such as, an increase in allergies, breast cancer, cervical cancer, prostate cancer, infertility due to luteal phase failure, low sperm count, depression, anxiety and panic attacks, mood swings, agitation, irritability, PMS, chronic fatigue, skin problems, teenage acne, loss of concentration, memory loss, irregular menstruation, osteoporosis, high
blood pressure, migraine headaches and hair loss, just to name a few. Progesterone is the only antagonist to Oestrogen. It restores hormonal balance and eliminates the symptoms of oestrogen dominance, thus it is very beneficial for infertility, and maintaining healthy pregnancies, is instrumental in deactivating the cancer gene that is switched on by oestrogen, and it activated the protective gene that restores health to the cell. Therefore protects against all cancers, it relieves depression protects against Alzheimer's, helps restore thyroid hormone function and this is to just name a few. Naturone is a vegetable based cream that is supplied in a set of glass bottles with a convenient dispenser
or phthalate- free jars with a ml spoon. The product isn't supplied in plastic as plastic also contains certain harmful chemicals. Naturone contains vitamin E, Glycerine, Grapefruit extract as a preservative, extra virgin cold pressed macadamia oil, avocado oil and marula oil, a vegetable based emulsifier and deioniSed water. Is a natural product and does not contain any animal derivatives nor is it tested on animals. It can be used by all, irrespective of dietary, environmental or religious concerns. Both men and women can used it and even pregnant women can use it. Naturone has a PH of which is in balance with that of the skin. “I dare both men and women who suffer from the abovementioned health related problems to try out Naturone. It has absolute no side effects and we've heard so much success stories. The product is used over a period of three
months, as it takes 3months for your hormonal levels to be where they are supposed to be. It is in the form of a cream, and not as a pill, as this allows it to enter the bloodstream immediately. Our body loses the ability to reproduce its
own hormones, through the foods we eat, and this is usually through foods such a junk food, sugar refined foods, processed foods, smoking and drinking excessively, even prescription and recreational drugs. With this all said, both men and women can
make an appointment with me, and we'll discuss the way forward'. For more information, check out the website of naturone at www. naturone.com or contact AnneMarie Roetz at 0811 43 3655 or at promonaturone @gmail.com.

A sneak preview on Waka 2015 WALVIS BAY
Liesl Losper
The Walvis Bay carnival (WAKA), is a non- profit organisation that motivates itself to uphold the Namibian carnival tradition and culture, for the greater benefit of Walvis Bay and will be celebrated again this year from Thursday, 26 March to Saturday the 28th. The WAKA is the successor to the “Walvis
Karneval” and was founded in November
2010. Last year the committee described the event as fun-filled, with exceptional support from the Walvis Bay community. “We’ll be hosting all events at Atlantis Sports Club this year, so we’ll have a smaller venue filled with an even better atmosphere. The new setup of our Hall, which promises a more cosy and relaxed atmosphere, will definitely be one of our main attractions,”
said Stefan Menges, the Chairman of the WAKA. This coming Thursday they’ll kick off with the Prinzenball/Büttenabend which is the inauguration of new ‘Prinzenpaar’ with shows and dances for the guests’ entertainment. Friday is the ‘Wakika Kinder Karneval’ with kids’ shows and entertainment. “The Wakika Kinder Karneval include the Inauguration of the ‘Kinder Prinzenpaar’. The carnival
float procession Saturday at 11:00 will be a spectacular show moving through the town centre, for the whole community to enjoy. The Friday night’s International Evening, with a multilingual show, will be for all to enjoy, irrespective of home language. An awesome party to finish off the festivities – the Kehraus – will be open for the public on Saturday.” This year’s motto is “karneval.com.!na”.

Success at the factory The Dance Factory Swakopmund will be hosting The Colour Red Show at the Haus der Jugend in Swakopmund on 10 and 11 April this year. In the show they will explore the psychological meaning of the
colour - red, which will be interpreted as blood, danger energy,
war, strength, power, passion, desire and love. On Friday, 10 April, there will be a formal Red Carpet Dinner show where people will enjoy dinner provided by Wild Rocket. There will also be an art exhibition of Heidi Louw who has made paintings where red is the prominent colour. For those who are not fans of formal gatherings, there will be another informal show on Saturday, 11 April and children are invited. Great prizes will be up for grabs for the kids as well. The year has started well for the Dance Factory. Four of their dancers went to Windhoek last weekend to participate in the Namibian
Championship for Performing Arts. All four participants won gold medals and all qualified to participate at the World Championships in Los Angeles, which is scheduled to take place in July this year. The four dancers are Quinton Jacobs, Itta Steinsträtter, Kim Hansen and Tatum Liebenberg. The sixteen - year old, Quinton Jacobs won the overall dance competition and received a prize of N$70 000 covering all the costs of the Los Angeles Trip. During last weekend's competition Itta Steinsträtter worked with Quinton, while Kim Hansen and Tatum Liebenberg worked together. All four dancers train with Dance Factory and will also perform at The Colour Red Show. According to the owner and trainer of the Factory, Carmen Waldeck, the trip to Los Angeles will make Quinton's dreams come true, as he always had dreams of becoming a professional dancer and this will open many doors for him she adds. “He will also make my dream come true I always wanted to give the people in Swakopmund an opportunity to go to a dance school and make their dreams come true” said Carmen.

Independence Day celebrations were not only for the old, but even for those as young as 3 years.
On Friday 7 different pre-primary schools and crèches gathered at the Soccer Stadium in Kuisebmond to celebrate Independence Day. Around 100 kids, with their teachers, decided to do it together by dancing and showing their artworks for Independence. Flags, hats and traditional attire carried the message of Independence loud and clear. As Denis Waitley, an American motivational speaker and writer said “The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence”
Day care centres and pre-primary scools involved in the school’s Independence celebrations on Friday were Teddy Bear Day Care, Hope Crèche, Happy Learning, Wrap Around Kindergarten, Tutalenie, Namsov Learning Peace Centre, and Celes-Hope Kindergarten.

To: Aunty Mary Mouton & family May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead. May the comfort of God help you during this difficult time.

NRSAA : Nasionale Spanne aangewys op Gala-geleentheid Maria Davel-Wallis
Die Namibiese Rots- en Strandhengel-vereniging se nasionale kampioenskappe het die afgelope week in en om Hentiesbaai plaasgevind, en 15 klubs van oral in Namibië het deelgeneem. Die naweek het op 'n hoogtepunt geëindig met 'n deftige dinee Saterdagaand, waartydens al die nasionale spanne aangewys is. Die top 6 manshengelaars van elke klub, en alle vroue- en juniorhengelaars het hulle slag gewys. Meer as 8 ton vis is tydens die kampioenskappe gevang – Vrydag, is meer as 4 ton vis, hoofsaaklik haaie, uitgetrek. Die groot verrassing Saterdagaand, was om te sien hoé die manne lyk wat die swaarste visse uitgestek het: in albei gevalle het die prooi baie meer as 100 kg geweeg – en duidelik baie meer as die hengelaar wat hulle strand toe gebring het. En, dit is die kuns van hengel, het Johan Agenbag, die voorsitter van die NRSAA, verduidelik….soms kan dié stryd tussen hengelaar en blinklyf ure lank duur. Vanjaar stuur die NRSAA die eerste keer die o/16-span saam met die ander Nasionale spanne na Suid-Afrika toe – Agenbag sê dit is om hulle te motiveer, en om hulle te brei vir 'n lang en suksesvolle pad as hengelkampioene. Die hengelaars was Saterdagaand
deftig uitgevat in formele drag, wat hulle duidelik met trots gedra het. Die NRSAA gaan uit sy pad om die jongklomp te motiveer en te betrek, en dit werp duidelik vrugte af! Tientalle jong mans uit talle kultuurgemeenskappe is kranige hengelaars. Om in 'n nasionale span te wees en jou land êrens te gaan verteenwoordig, is die grootste eer wat jou te beurt kan val, sê Agenbag – en die spantrots en die vreugde toe die nasionale spanne se name uitgeroep is, was voelbaar. Die meeste van die vis wat gevang word, word so gou moontlik teruggegooi, nadat dit onder die weegmeesters se oë deur is – groot haaie word deesdae ook eerder gemeet en die gewig daarvolgens bepaal, omdat die weegproses dikwels inwendige skade veroorsaak het by reuse van die see, en hulle dan later gevrek het.
