Fire horror

inside Walvis turning into a filthy town

Boyfriend stabbed to death

Eighteen shacks up in flames Manganese frustration clings to Lüderitz Eileen van der Schyff

Attempts failed recently to close the open-top containers in the port of Lüderitz laden with manganese ready for export. The manganese arrived from South Africa's Northern Cape at Lüderitz by rail in these containers which are open at the top. It resulted in a black dust covering parts of the town and resident irked by what they describe as environmentally unaccountable practice.

Following complaints by residents, workers attempted to cover the open containers with shade net and tarpaulins but Lüderitz' unforgiving wind soon tore it open and it was back to square one.

According to Lüderitz Marine Research, workers this weekend first attempted to cover the top containers with shade net and then with black tarpaulins on Sunday. In the normal weather conditions of Lüderitz with the south wind that is back, the tarpaulins started to tear.

Residents are asking why properly handling a toxic material is an issue. An article by the Lüderitz Marine Research on social media read after this weekend: “For today the generated dust was blown straight onto the norther end of the quay and into the sea (with unknown consequences on Continues on page 2

The pizza that never arrived

A pizza delivery man was lucky to escape unscathed on Friday in Walvis Bay’s main street, when his motorbike was bumped over by a passing vehicle. Motorists are reminded to take extra caution with pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, as in most cases these accidents ends as serious and even fatal.

Answers please! is this legal? If so, then it is not adequate, nor responsible! and needs to be remedied a soon as possible. Again, this is not meant to tarnish the image of this project! We would indeed welcome a new project which would benefit the town and the region... as long as it is a clean operation not detrimental to the environment of people health and follows legal requirements (we have stated this several times before).” Residents feel answers should come from TradePort and other stakeholders.

WALVIS BAY TOWN PLANNING SCHEME CONSENT: Self Catering - Unit ON ERF: 1216 TOWNSHIP: Nr 1 Dunensicht STREET: c/o 4th Street South/8th Street West.

Strong winds and vandalised fire hydrants made it extremely difficult to extinguish a devastating fire that destroyed at least 18 shacks in Tutaleni, Kuisebmond on Saturday 24 August.

The fire started in the backyard shacks of three main houses and left between thirty to fourty people homeless.

The fire started just after lunch in one of the shacks and the strong wind quickly caused the fire to spread to the neighbouring shacks.

All the shacks were destroyed while the main houses on the same plots sustained only some damage. The occupants of the shacks lost all of their belongings.

The Chief of the Walvis Bay Fire Brigade, Dennis Basson said that the Fire Brigade reacted immediately even before the Emergency alarm was sounded. “ Vigilant fire fighters saw the smoke rising into the air and this made responding very fast,” Basson said.

Some of the hydrants in the vicinity of the blaze were damaged by vandals and thieves and this made the work of the fire fighters extremely hard. Basson added that the damage caused to fire hydrants in Walvis Bay by vandals is a problem that keeps the fire brigade from executing their task efficiently. As a result, the fire fighters had to rely on the mobile water supply truck to extinguish the blaze.

The heat from the east weather conditions over the past week along with strong winds contributed to the fast spreading of the fire. The men extinguished the fire and kept it from spreading to more houses. Nobody was injured, and the cause of the fire is still unknown. The value of the destroyed and damaged properties is not yet known.

Coastal schools are in shock and dismay over a bus accident near Mariental in southern Namibia on Sunday morning in which two Grade 7 learners of the Windhoek Gimnasium private school died. The learners were underway to the Orange River for a camp when tragedy struck. The driver of one of the buses lost control of the vehicle, it left the road and overturned. Learners Angela Maiba and Jacques Venter were killed

Community concerns grow over “filthy” Walvis Bay Eileen van der Schyff Concerns are growing over Walvis Bay becoming an eyesore in many instances. It is always easy to point fingers at the local authority, but sadly to say most of these eyesores are caused by our residents themselves. Also, temporary residents in the form of foreigners who make business here, only to leave when the money is in the pocket with no care in the world the havoc they leave behind.

From building rubble, heaps of unused building sand and building gravel, sand encroachment not properly managed, litters, household waste piling up on empty plots, old vehicle wrecks, empty houses stripped of doors and windows, foreign trucks parked in the streets and open lots and large volume of litter on our streets and in the Walvis lagoon – there is little pride left in us as residents to keep our town clean and tidy, several residents reported this week.

Residents who complained feel the only way they are heard is when their complaints are published in the Namib Times. One resident said she is fed-up with her neighbour's building rubble piling up on the pavement and a broken-down vehicle nearby to complete the ugly picture. The vehicle is parked on the pavement already for months with not a single traffic officer acting.

“I have contacted the relevant authorities. No action has been taken to date”, said this very disgruntled resident.

Adding, sidewalks are there for pedestrians to use. Instead, pedestrians must stumble over building rubble and walk into the street to avoid the wrecks parked on the pavement.

What was said above can be regarded as an over exaggeration. However, here are more examples of complaints received. ·Three vehicle wrecks on the parking lot in the cbd (pictured). · Dilapidated houses (pictured) which is not only an eye sore but is a springboard for vagrants and criminals. · Littering across town and along the Walvis Bay lagoon. · Vandalism of general infrastructure like the lagoon park over the weekend (pictured) and the vandalism of road signs.

Giniel and Alonso in Walvis Bay Rudi Bowe

The Formula 1 legend Fernando Alonso and the South African Dakar champion Giniel de Villers and the Toyota Gazoo Racing team were in Walvis Bay for several days to test their vehicles and hone their Dakar skills.

Catalan motorcycle Dakar champ Marc Coma was the navigator and most likely the chosen one to join Alonso for his very first Dakar from 5 tot 17 January 2020 presented in in Saudi Arabia.

Alonso also had de Villiers at his side for trianing.

In a statement sent Tuesday, the Japanese team confirmed that Alonso “will work closely with Toyota Gazoo Racing and his Dakar Rally team, undergoing an intensive training program.

The Spaniard, two-time champion of the world of Formula 1, has proposed to train at the start of the next edition of the most famous and demanding raid by stages in the world, that between January 5 and 17 will pass through the deserts and tracks of Saudi Arabia, a new game for everyone.

The director of the Toyota team, Glyn Hall, assured Fernando Alonso enjoyed the experience of driving a Hilux, and they could adapt and improve. "Fernando came to the test prepared and absorbed everything we taught him," he said.

The 2019 Walvis Bay Golf Invitational took place on Saturday with sport celebrities Jaques Burger, Schalk Burger (Sr.), Paul Harris and D Hayes as guests of honour.

The tournament in all aspects set a trend for similar future events which had the main aim of raising funds for the Walvis Bay Golf Club. A word of congratulations to Pieter Fox (Jr.) and his team who worked hard behind the scenes to make this day the enjoyable event it was, sponsors who pulled out all the stops to make things happen, players (a total of 90!) and their families who supported the 2019 Walvis Bay Golf Invitational.

All the teams fared well on the day, but as it is in sport there can only be one winner and those who had equal point scores had to submit to the results of the count out.
