The President-elect, Hage Geingob, says he will be a president for all Namibians.

Maria Davel-Wallis

He says he wants all Namibians to feel part of the nation - nobody should feel left out. After an election that was marred by technical problems with an electronic voting system - a first for Africa - Geingob was declared President-elect at the ECN results centre in Windhoek at the official announcement of the election results after 19:00 last night. He will be sworn in as president of Namibia, on 21 March 2015.

Geingob has thanked the ECN, the nation and the media for their role in what he called, a peaceful election.

He congratulated the ECN on conducting as he put it, credible modern and successful elections that complied with regional

and international standards, despite challenges.

On Saturday it emerged that more that 352 000 of the 1, 24 million eligible

voters, did not cast their votes on Friday, due to grave problems with electronic voting machines, power failures, and other

administrative problems.

People had to stand in queues for hours, and in many regions, voters expressed deep frustration

and anger.

The final results showed a landslide victory for Swapo, with the DTA, (4,8%) and the RDP

‘n Demper is tydens verlede week se Stadsraadvergadering in Swakopmund op die beplande ontspanningsaktiwiteite by die ou swembad, naby die Mole geplaas, nadat die dorpsleiers Lighthouse Pub & Restaurant se aansoek om verskeie funksies aan te bied afgekeur het.

Die Lighthouse Pub & Restaurant se aansoek om verskeie funksies gedurende Desember by die ou swembad aan te bied het deur die mat geval, nadat mnr Quinton Liebenberg blykbaar nie die

Munisipaliteit in kennis gestel het, voordat hy die funksies begin bemark en organiseer het nie.

Volgens ‘n amptelike munisipale dokument is mnr Liebenberg deur die dorp se Hoof Besturende

Beampte, mnr Eckhart Demasius gekontak, om die aansoek op 21 November

by Demasius se kantoor te bespreek.

(3,51%) as the main opposition parties.

Geingob received more votes as individual (86,73%), than his party (80,01%) But while the elections were declared free and fair by observers, an appeal court case is still casting a shadow over the election process.

The AFRICAN LABOUR & HUMAN RIGHTS CENTRE (ALHRC) together with several opposition parties lodged an urgent appeal in the supreme court last week, after the High Court dismissed their attempt to postpone the election. August Maletzky of the ALHRC told the namib times yesterday that they were awaiting the date for their case in the Supreme Court.

In his reaction on the controversy surrounding the election process, he said, "The Concerns around the use of Electronic Voting Machines Raised by myself, the African Labour & Human Rights Centre, the Rally for Democracy and Progress, the Workers Revolutionary Party and the Namibia Economic Freedom Fighters were effectively confirmed by the elections.

It did not take long for the Nation to realise that participating in an election, the results of which cannot be verified is indeed fatal to democracy in Namibia.

What was supposed to be a speedy election turned into a nightmare for the ECN and the electorate, some of whom waited up to 13 hours to vote.

I have been inundated with election complaints ranging from EVMs not working and ECN officials abandoning their duties to party agents denied access to the so-called central verification centre.

From the onset we stated in our court application that there is no way to use EVMs in a credible election without disclosing the operating systems of the EVMs to all stake holders, that the system is unaccountable and there were no proper security checks in place, and that polling agents lacked proper training.

Our application was dismissed and we filed a valid appeal to the Supreme Court.

Notwithstanding the appeal ECN went ahead with the elections.

It did not take long before we were vindicated, as our concerns are echoed all over Namibia.

It is 12:00 1.12.2014 And the machines are still counting!"

The ECN has instructed its legal practitioners to oppose the appeal, whenever it might be heard in the Supreme Court...

te bespreek nie.

Die Munisipaliteit se Gesondheidsafdeling, Korporatiewe dienste en ook die hoof van die dorp se verkeersafdeling se insette in dié verband is deur Demasius aangevra.

Die Gesondheidsafdeling het onder meer aangevoer dat die Lighthouse se dranklisensie nie geldig is op die spesifieke Erf 4747 (ou swembad) nie. Die afdeling se aanbeveling was dat, met vorige ervarings in ag genome, die aansoek afgekeur word.

Die Verkeersafdeling se vier hoofredes vir afkeuring van die aansoek was: geraasbesoedeling, onvoldoende parkeergeriewe, rusverstoring en bestuur onder die invloed van alkohol. Die verkeersafdeling se terugvoering dui voorts aan dat hulle tydens verlede jaar se funksies by die ou swembad oorval is met klagtes, wat bogenoemde

redes insluit.

Nadat al hierdie faktore in ag geneem en bespreek is, is daar besluit om die oop perseel, naby die Swakopmundlughawe, onder streng voorwaardes, aan die Lighthouse-groep beskikbaar te stel vir die beplande aktiwiteite.

Die organiseerders sal N$59 982.50 huurgeld hiervoor moet opdok. Die bedrag is teen N$9 982.50 per dag (26-31 Desember) bereken en N$50 000 daarvan is terugbetaalbaar.

Vir elke uur ná middernag sal hulle ook N$5 000 moet opdok, wat na die Burgemeester se anti-misdaad Fonds sal gaan. Geen vuurwerkvertonings mag aangebied word nie en indien enige klagtes van geraasbesoedeling ontvang word, mag die goedkeuring heroorweeg word.

Mnr Liebenberg was nie gisternamiddag beskikbaar vir kommentaar nie.

Shacks Dwellers of Walvis Bay concerned about high rates of electricity Sharlien Tjambari The Shack Dwellers Association of Walvis Bay had a meeting with the Governor of Erongo Region last week about the high rates of electricity in Walvis Bay. The members of the shack dwellers association complained about the units of electricity they get from Erongo Red whenever they buy electricity.

According to Mr Robert Kahimise, the Chief Executive Officer of Erongo Red, most of the people that complain about the electricity rates are on the wrong tariffs, they are on conventional electricity.

Conventional electricity is electricity for which you pay monthly to Erongo Red, whether you used electricity that month or not, it is a fixed payment. ''Conventional Electricity is for people who use more or whose bill is more than N$900 per month'' he said.

He also said that the low income group should consider using pre-paid electricity, which would be more manageable and cheaper.

Mr Kahimise also said the main problem that

resulted to small houses consuming more electricity than the big houses, were the number of shacks in one yard. “In Walvis Bay you will find 12 shacks in one yard, which is too much,” said Mr Kahimise.

Speaking at the meeting, the Governor of Erongo Region Mr Cleophas Mutjavikua, said the community needed to move away from ghettos.

According to him, the shack dwellers of Walvis Bay will be given space behind Narraville so that they can move out of other people's backyards and have a place of their own. In conclusion, Mr Kahimise said Erongo Red was willing, available, to advise the Shack Dwellers Association on conventional and pre-paid electricity. ''The Shack Dwellers Association must sit and talk with its members,'' Mr Kahimise said.

CRIME & COURT

Twee moorde oor naweek Marshallino Beukes

Die Erongo polisie het aangedui dat twee moorde die afgelope naweek in Swakopmund en Karibib, onderskeidelik, gepleeg is.

Volgens die polisiewoordvoerder is die moord in Karibib op 27 November, omstreeks 02:24 gepleeg.

Die oorledene was blykbaar by ‘n nagklub en het ‘n dame wat met haar skoonfamilie daar gekuier het genader vir geselskap. Die dame en haar skoonfamilie het skynbaar die nagklub verlaat en na hul woonplek gestap, met die oorledene wat blykbaar ook gevolg

het.

Hy het blykbaar buite die woning rondgedrentel, waarna twee mans wat in die huis was hom aangeval en met ‘n mes doodgesteek het.

Die oorledene is as Nikodemus Hansen (55) geїdentifiseer.

Die twee verdagtes is in hegtenis geneem en het gister in die Karibib Magistraatshof verskyn. ‘n Voorval in Swakopmund se DRC nedersetting het tot

die dood van Sakeus Shakepange (29) gelei.

Volgens die polisie het die voorval Vrydagoggend tussen 4:00 en 5:00 plaasgevind.

Die oorledene het blykbaar ‘n woning waar persone besig was om partytjie te hou, genader, nadat hy onder die indruk verkeer het dat dit ‘n shebeen was.

Hy wou blykbaar N$50 lugtyd koop, maar die geldnoot is uit sy hand gegryp

deur ‘n onbekende manspersoon.

Die polisieverklaring dui aan dat hy hierna die persoon met ‘n bottel geslaan het.

Ander mans het skynbaar uitgestorm en die oorledene met ‘n onbekende voorwerp aangerand.

Hy is na die staatshospitaal in Swakopmund geneem en op pad na Windhoek het hy aan sy beserings beswyk. Die verdagtes is in hegtenis geneem.

Lagoon steeds fuifplek Liesl Losper

Met die vakansietyd wat amptelik afskop het, word stil, rustige plekke soos die Walvisbaaise strandmeer opgesoek deur ongure karakters wat dit in ‘n uiters swak toestand agterlaat, na hulle fuifsessies.

Sondagnamidag omstreeks 17:10, is die namib times deur Frans Pinhas, een van die Walvisbaai strandmeer toergidse gekontak. Met ons aankoms het hy die toneel aangedui waar ‘n groep die terrein in ‘n vieslike toestand agtergelaat het.

Frans was hoogs onsteld – hy sê as gids sien hy dikwels hoe mense die oewer misbruik vir fuifpartytjies.

Hy sê gebuikte kondome

moes ook al verwyder word, en as die plek so vuil agtergelaat word, skrik dit toeriste af as hulle op so iets afkom.

Hy het opnuut ‘n beroep op inwoners gedoen, om sodanige gedrag onmiddellik te rapporteer, sou hulle daarvan bewus word.

Mnr Kevin Adams van die munisipaliteit sê die skoonmaak van die lagoon is nie die munisipaliteit se verantwoordelikheid nie, maar siende

dat dit soms ’n oogseer is, word dit wel van tyd tot tyd deur ’n span munisipale werkers gedoen.

Die gebied self val onder die vaandel van die Ministerie van Omgewingsake en Toerisme.”

Hy het dit ook duidelik gemaak dat die skoonmaak van die grasperke langs die meer, die verantwoordelikheid van die Munisipaliteit is en dat dit daagliks aandag geniet.

Pensioenaris aangerand ‘n Bekende inwoner van Henties-

baai, mnr Freddie Carstens (83) het ligte wonde opgedoen Donderdag in die vroëe oggendure, nadat hy die slagoffer was van ’n inbraak.

Die wonde wat mnr Freddie Carstens aan sy been opgedoen het tydens die inbraak voorval

Volgens sy seun, André Carstens, het sy pa wakker geword en gesien dat iemand met ‘n flits in die huis rond beweeg.

In die geharwar is sy pa beseer en die vermeende inbreker het die hasepad gekies.

Presies hoe mnr Carstens Snr beseer was is nie duidelik nie en geen klag is by die polisie gelê nie.

Volgens André doen sy pa goed en almal is verlig want dit kon baie erger gewees het.

Senior Citizens Christmas Party Leandrea Louw

Walvis Bay's senior citizens turned up in numbers for the annual Christmas Party for the senior citizens hosted by the Office of the Mayor last week.

The Senior Citizens Christmas Party is organised by the Office of the Mayor through fundraising in the form of material assistance from local business.

The council spent around N$250 000 on the event.

This yearly celebration started many years and has since become a tradition, where citizens have the opportunity to celebrate the spirit of the Christmas

with others and to catch up with long-lost friends.

Councillor Derek Klazen welcomed the senior citizens at this auspicious occasion, followed by an address by Mayor Uillika Nambahu.

“There isn't any books that teach like grandma or grandpa does. We should use this knowledge we have and educate our children.

Let us build the nation

with this knowledge that we have acquired throughout the years.

We should pray that the Lord gives us the strength to complete this task.

In addition when something has to be stopped, something ugly, you as the senior citizens of the town has the most power to accomplish that”.

Nambahu said that she wanted all the different Senior Citizen Com-

mittees from neighbourhoods in Walvis Bay, “to come together and join forces, so that we can work on a calendar to start working amongst our youngsters. I can't do this alone, so we need to start working together”.

The mayor furthermore shared information about the elections and mass housing scheme to the senior citizens. She also wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a

Senior citizens attended the Christmas Party prosperous new 2015.

After being treated to a sumptuous lunch, each senior citizen received a parcel containing daily necessities as an early

catered for 1 000 senior citizens. Senior citizens, who could not attend the Christmas lunch, due to illness, will also be attended to.

Oil spill at Langstrand investigated Leandrea Louw

Residents of Langstrand are up in arms, after yet another oil spill.

What should have been a fun day at the beach this weekend for a few residents and their furry friends, turned into a disaster and a sticky mess, when they became victims of the illegal spill in the ocean near Langstrand. Residents had their hands full, struggling to clean their children and dogs, and get rid of the oil.

A representative of the Directorate of Maritime Affairs says they have been at the scene where the oil spill was detected and confirmed that it seems to be heavy fuel oil. He speculates that the source might have been one of the vessels lined in the bay.

“We have been at the scene, and we wish to reassure everyone that

there is no cause for alarm.

We are scheduled to have a meeting with the Port Captain, The Ministry of Works and Transport, the Ministry of Environment and Tourism as well as the local Municipality to discuss mechanisms to be put in place for us to prevent something like this happening again”.

This newspaper also contacted Mr Gerson Masima, Pollution Control Officer at the Namibian Ports Authority (NamPort), who has confirmed that they are aware of the spill. “It was brought to our attention, and we have indeed sent people from the Municipality to evaluate the damage, and we can say that no major clean-up was necessary.“

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.

The Prevention and Combating of Pollution of the Sea by Oil Act 6 of 1981 clearly prohibits the discharge of oil from a ship, tanker or offshore installation and gives the state certain

powers to prevent such pollution and to deal with the removal of oil spills.

In simple terms, it is illegal for ships or tankers to dump oil in the Atlantic Ocean.

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?

“They enjoyed coffee and cake with the senior citizens of the retirement home and sang a few songs.

The children were

given Christmas presents.

The Pre-school Class also had their Graduation Ceremony to Grade one, a moving and proud moment for all.

We are looking forward to 2015,” she said.

Busy Bodies Montessori would like to thank everyone for their participation and support.

Some of the staff of Maersk Namibia participated in a beach clean-up this year.

We believe that each bit helps towards setting the example towards environmental sustainability and we look forward to seeing more Namibians pave the way to cleaner beaches

Marker new Chairperson of Large Carnivore Management Association Dr Laurie Marker, of the Cheetah Conservation Fund, has taken over from Dr Rudie van Vuuren as Chairperson of the Large Carnivore Management Association of Namibia (LCMAN). Dr Marker was elected at the association’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), held at the offices of the Namibia Nature Foundation (NNF) on Thursday, 6 November.

The LCMAN is a not-for-profit association comprising individuals and organisations that promote and support the longterm conservation of healthy populations of free-ranging large carnivores, including lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and hyena, in Namibia.

Given that over 80 persent of Namibia is farmland, a major focus of the LCMAN

is to provide farmers with practical advice to assist in reducing livestock predation by these species, and thereby to promote their coexistence.

“The LCMAN is a forum of large carnivore conservationists and researchers.

My position is to guide the organisation through collaborative networking approaches to carry forward the goals of the organisa-

tion - which is to work with communities and the government in large carnivore conservation.

I am honoured to accept the challenging position which involves the coordination of a diverse group of stakeholders.

The association aims to help reduce conflict while increasing recognition of the value of predators within the Namibian ecosys-

tems,” Laurie Marker commented on her new position.

The coordinator of the LCMAN, Ms Katie Oxenham, of the NNF, said she looked forward to working with Dr Marker to assist in achieving positive outcomes for large carnivores, which are urgently needed to ensure their long-term conservation.

Nowadays many visitors enjoy a walk on the jetty, amongst them senior citizens, who would like a rest before returning back.

We request the municipality to put up some of the benches manufactured out of recycled plastic bags, like the ones next to the Tug restaurant, onto the jetty. These benches are unbreakable and don’t need any paint, in contrast with those benches along the walkway from the Lighthouse to Vineta.

An urgent coat of paint and some repair work on them would be highly appreciated.

There used to be a roller-skating /skateboard rink halfway down this coastal walking path, which was demolished some time ago and huge boulders were dropped there. These are now being used as hiding place for unsavoury elements who don’t make their way to the nearby toilet. Not very hygienic or amusing for the nearby residents!

New extensions are continuously being created by the municipality, and tarred roads, street lighting and good sewerage infrastructures are attracting future investors. In contrast to this development there are numerous streets in the older areas of town, where citizens have been living for a few generations - they have paid their rates and taxes for decades, but are still without tarred roads. These areas need to be considered in future tarring programmes.

Great News for Art Lovers Harbours’ End Gallery Re-opens Leandrea Louw

The Harbours End Gallery officially opened its doors again, at its new premises at the Waterfront in Walvis Bay. Ten artists exhibited their work at the reopening: Megan Dreyer, Helena Wigget and Anna-Mart Kruger from Hawk Photography, Ronelle Pretorius, Gidget Hart, Liz Visser, Heidi Louw, Vera Malherbe, Gerda Correira and Marion Klein.

Liz Visser, the owner of the gallery is now in partnership with Megan Dreyer. The art gallery will in future also be a working art studio where Liz will introduce both children and adults to the wonderful world of art, and help them express themselves in this medium.

A peek into the lives of the artists: Megan Dreyer has been a

keen photographer all her life. She has only recently taken it up seriously with the onset of digital, which she believes has made the hobby far more creative and exciting since the days of film.

“I look at life around me with nature’s light, lines, textures, and color, I want to keep my photography simple with no particular genre; and I always believe I’ll take my best picture tomorrow.”

Hawk Photography was established in 2013, and is located in Walvis Bay. Aside from their photography Helene Wigget and Anna-Mart Kruger have been self-employed as a Biokineticist and Phy-

siotherapist since 2003.

“Our photography started as a hobby which developed into an escape from civilisation. Photography taught us to appreciate life on a whole new different level.” Their main interest is Wildlife/ Landscape and Close-up Photography.

Liz was born in Singapore and grew up in Malaysia.

She later moved to England where she attended The Croydon School of Art. After immigrating to Namibia in 1970 she studied commercial art at the Ruth Prowse Art School in Cape Town, as well as furthering her studies at the Conservatoire in Windhoek and Fine Art through UNISA. Today she teaches

art to adults and children.

Liz’s main interests are harbour scenes, mixed media and charcoal drawings.

Gerda Correira is a selftaught Namibian artist.

She started painting in the late 1980s. She has since won two national art awards. Gerda’s style preference is impressionistic using oils.

Ronelle Pretorius, a selftaught artist, was born in the Transkei and grew up in the Eastern Cape.

She started painting in Swakopmund in 1980 when she joined ‘The Desert Painters’.

The aim of her work is to celebrate nature, to nurture the human spirit and provide stimulation and

enjoyment in her life and lives of fellow human beings. He work covers a variety of techniques, using palette knife or brush, using different mediums ranging from oils, acryl to watercolors and mixed media. She covers a vast range of subjects, enjoying to experiment with new approaches.

Windhoek-born Marion Klein took art lessons with Professor Schroeder as a teenager, but in the years that followed she mainly

expressed her artistic side as a florist. She has lived in Walvis Bay for the past 14 years and also has been a student of Liz Visser for about four years.

Her preferred medium is acrylic, and she enjoys painting uncomplicated subjects with clean simple lines.

Heidi Louw has lived in Namibia since 1973 and did her teaching degree at Stellenbosch, specialising in art. She opened her first studio in Lüderitz in 1999

and now lives with her family in Swakopmund, working from her studio in Walvis Bay. Gidget Hart started classes with Liz Visser in 2003 and then furthered her talents under the guidance of Heidi Louw by learning painting and drawing from 2009. Gidget favours still life in acrylic.

The opening was celebrated with champagne and wine flowing freely, with everyone conversing heartedly.

George and his guitar collection

WALVIS BAY George in action

Madelaine Laubscher

A local musician, Mr George Van Straten, has made a habit out of collecting guitars over the years.

He expresses himself through music and his guitar collection is proof of that.

“Through the years I have collected five unique guitars, each with its own story. I started performing in 2008 at the Wurstbude Restaurant in Swakopmund with an old 12-string guitar that I bought many years ago. I decided to spend a good portion of my annual bonus on an upmarket 12 string. I bought an ‘Ibanez EAL2012E’ and used this to start my semi-professional music career,” he said.

According to him the guitar had a great sound unplugged, but when connected to an amp it made a horrible sound. He replaced the pre-amp unit with one that he bought in the United States of America. “This vastly improved the sound, but I was not satisfied yet. I set up the intonation and dropped the action on the guitar neck, which made playing this guitar so much more pleasurable.”

He then saw an old ‘Aria Pro 2 CS300’ in a second-hand store in Windhoek and bought it for N$800 at that time.

“The bridge was broken and the pickups almost sounded like empty cans.

The woodwork was damaged and there was a cig-

arette burn on the guitar head. I stripped the guitar completely and sanded the body to raw wood, coated it with a polyurethane sealer, bought a bridge from Gibson, mounted it and set up the neck and intonation. I then imported ‘Paul Entwistle’ pickups from Israel and assembled the guitar with new chrome tuning heads. The new sound is incredibly clean and warm. I really love the sound of this guitar, but have not performed with it yet,” he said.

He then saw another guitar, an ‘Epiphone Les Paul’.

“I simply had to have this guitar. I stripped it of all the mixed chrome and gold-plated fitting and bought new gold-plated fittings and installed the second set of ‘Paul Entwistle pickups. I now have a ‘Black Beauty’, as it is known. This is an awesome guitar that almost sounds like an original Les Paul Gibson!”

A fellow musician informed him about a 2009 ‘Fender Stratocaster’ for sale. “I made a loan at the bank and paid it the very next day as I was afraid someone else might buy it instead. I installed the original Fender pickups and started to perform with it. It had a ‘bell-like’ sound thus

I adjusted the neck and action until I was happy with the action, but still wanted better sound. I saw a set of Super 55 pickups and knew this was what I was looking for.

With these pickups installed I have the most powerful Fender pickups available, giving me the smoothest sound with a lot of punch to go with it.

I love my 2008 American Standard.

Another local musician, Patrick Spence, offered George his old 2004 ‘Fender Stratocaster’ and he immediately accepted.

“It was a metallic blue col-

our and the paintwork was chipped and scratched. I stripped the paint of with tools and gave it to a local panel beater. He kindly finished the bodywork and sprayed it a beautiful deep purple colour.

Since I was 14 I had dreamt of having a Fender of this colour, as the band ‘Deep Purple’ had a huge influence on my life and it is my favourite colour. I then assembled it and bought a set of ‘LACE Hot Gold’ pickups, the best pickups ‘LACE’ offers and set the guitar up. Many will tell you that a ‘Mexican Fender’ may not be the real Mc

Coy, but the sound I get from this guitar can beat many USA Stratocasters by far. In fact, Dozi, who performed with me at the Walvis Bay Waterfront, endorsed the Mexican Stratocaster because he said he had never heard it sound so good before.

I have been blessed with being in the right place at the right time and getting bargains and the right fittings and accessories for all my babies. It has been an awesome ride so far. I still have not found what I am looking for. I am looking for a ‘Les Paul Gibson’ on sale,” he concluded.

Joyful Toy Run 2014

Leandrea Louw The annual Toy Run hosted by Live to Ride on Sunday was a huge success. The bikers gathered at the Walvis Bay Municipality where they had a mass ride through town to the municipal kiddies swimming pool, where they handed the toys and gifts over to less privileged children.

The children, all from orphanages in Walvis Bay, Kuisebmond and Narraville, received toys and gifts.

Live To Ride also provided them with something to eat as well as a jumping castle, where they enjoyed every moment of this early Christmas celebration. The Toy Run started in 2001 and has since become a Christmas tradition. Public Relations Officer of Live To Ride, Eyfi Valtys-

son, said that the turnout this year had been much bigger than the past two years. “This year's Toy Run has definitely been a much bigger success compared to the previous years.

We had bikers participating in this charity event from Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, central Namibia and even from South Africa. We are extremely grateful to everyone who participated in this great event for charity".

Die triomferende Young Ones span

Celtic Pool Klub

Young Ones wen Nasionale potbal kampioenskap Marshallino Beukes

Young Ones Pool Club van Windhoek is die afgelope naweek as die “Kampioen van Kampioene” gekroon, nadat hulle die nasionale potbal kampioenskap in Swakopmund gewen het.

Hierdie toernooi word elke jaar, ter afsluiting van die potbal-seisoen aangebied en vanjaar was dit Celtic Pool Club van Swakopmund wat gasheer

moes speel. Spanne van so ver as Rundu, Windhoek en Rehoboth het deelgeneem en vir twee dae van potbal uit die boonste rakke gesorg. Bywoning

tydes die tweede dag van die kompetisie was ietwat teleurstellend, maar die manne en vroue het hulle nie daardeur van stryk laat bring nie. Die gasheer-

span, Celtic, was onder baie druk, aangesien hulle ook die tegniese- en administratiewe kant van die toernooi moes hanteer. Die toernooi is in goeie gees

afgehandel en sport was die wenner. Daar moet egter ook genoem word dat die ondersteuning van besigheidslui, ter opheffing van hierdie sportkode,

power is. Al die spanne was dit eens dat besighede beslis hul sosiale verantwoordelikheid om terug te ploeg in die gemeenskap, afskeep. Potbal is besig

om landwyd opslae as ‘n sportkode te maak en die manne beplan om die volgende seisoen hul stempel op Nasionale vlak af te druk.

Frik van Rooi wins the November Seniors Golf Day

On Thursday a field of 18 senior golfers arrived for the November month-end competition.

As usual the main sponsor was Ocean View Spar and the co-sponsors this month were Attie Esterhuizen and Hakkies Husselman.

After a lovely halfway breakfast at the Rossmund Lodge, the energy levels were obviously lifted as there was some excellent golf played. Captain Bruce Burns presented the prizes to this month’s winners

Frik van Rooi on 40 points followed by Willem Engelbrecht on 38 points. In third position, and loser of the 38 point count-out, was Achmet Abrahams.

Flip Beukes was the lucky winner of the “JoCo” prize.

A new monthly sponsor is the Wurstbude and their competition was played on 20 November, with “Head Chef” Theo Haimbondi representing the Wurstbude on the day. The lucky winners of a pizza voucher

each were Achmet Abrahams, Hans Ovlisen, Willem Engelbrecht and Dennis Anderson.

A big thank you to Mario and Daniella for supporting the Rossmund Senior Golfers.
