has gone to three former presidents, from Cape Verde, Mozambique and Botswana. In other years, no one was found to have met the criteria. To win the prize, a leader must have been democratically elected and have left office in the last three years, serving only their constitutionally mandated term. The winner must also have displayed “exceptional leadership.” Although elections have now become common on a continent once better known for military coups and instability, some
leaders have stayed in office long after their original mandate, often pushing through constitutional changes to hold to power. Announcing the award in Nairobi, the Mo Ibrahim committee praised Pohamba’s commitment to the rule of law and his respect for the constitution, as well as his promotion of gender equality. Pohamba, 79, was first elected president in 2005 and is due to step down this month. The elections held under his leadership were considered by observers to be free and fair. Pohamba was a founding member of
the now ruling South West African People’s Organisation (SWAPO), playing a central role in decades of struggle for independence from South Africa. He was imprisoned in the 1960s for political activism but continued to fight against South Africa’s apartheid government until the end of white-minority rule in 1994. He held home affairs and marine resources portfolios in cabinet prior to becoming president. The winner receives $5 million, given over 10 years, and after that receives $200,000 a year for life.

Fli-Africa Travel Donates to Mellissa Bester Leandrea Louw Fli-Africa Travel Services yesterday morning donated a return air ticket to cancer patient Mellissa Bester who has to travel to Johannesburg, South Africa for a lifesaving operation. This donation also included N$10 000. The Walvis Bay based travel agent stepped in to assist Bester who is busy raising ±N$500 000 for the operation. “This is part of our social responsibility call and being a new company we saw it fit to announce our presence with such a gift. We do hope for her reco-
very,” said Jessica De Klerk, Fli-Africa Travel Services Business Development Manager. On the acceptance of the donation Mellisa said, “This is a surprise to me. I had just budgeted on getting about N$500 000, without planning the travel arrangements. What
Thousands flock for “affirmative repositioning” Continued from page 1 these people showing up, knowing that what they are doing, is in public interest,” he further noted. Interviewing some of the applicants, it was clear that they are determined to get a piece of land. “We are tired of living in people’s backyards and in shacks, paying all our money for places that are not even ours,” one of the hopefuls commented out of the crowd. In Swakopmund about 3 500 applications were handed to the town’s mayor, Mr Juuso Kambueshe and the Chief Executive Officer, Mr Eckart Demasius. Also in the holiday town, the handing in of application letters went peacefully and commenced throughout the day. Indi-
cations that the Swakopmund residents were to march to the Municipality premises, in order to hand over the applications did not realise. At Omaruru a total of 1 205 applications were reported. In total approximately 30-40 000 applications were forwarded countrywide. Some Municipalities have indicated that they will send out letters of recognition for receipt of the applications, at a later stage. The application letters state that if applicants do not receive any response by 31 July 2015, it will be concluded that the town’s council is either unable or unwilling to assist the applicants, and other effective methods of accessing and acquiring land will then be explored.
Fli-Africa has done for me, is letting me have to worry about one thing less. For me, travelling by road would have cut costs but when Fli-Africa heard about it, they realised that my situation might worsen if I travel by road. I am extremely grateful for this air ticket,” she said. She ac-
cepted the donation tearyeyed, and couldn’t utter the words ‘thank you’ enough. She had a stents operation last Thursday in Windhoek, and the operation she requires is for a stem cell transplant. She was diagnosed with Burkett’s lymphoma cancer late September last year.

“Ek wil elke jaar twee maande hier wees” - Montgomery Maria Davel-Wallis Vir Percy Montgomery was dié naweek soos ‘n tuiskoms – en hy is oor ‘n maand weer hier, dié keer vir ‘n heerlike lang vakansie. Die SA Rugbylegende, wat in Walvisbaai gebore is, het Saterdagmiddag langs die viswaters met namib times gesels. Montgomery sê hy het baie goeie herinneringe aan sy kinderdae hier aan die Namibiese Weskus. Hy het op Swakopmund skoolgegaan, en sê dit was vir hom wonderlik om die naweek hier te wees. Hy onthou sy visvangdae as jong seun baie goed, en het self Saterdagmiddag‘n bietjie lyn natgemaak - en ‘n knewel strand toe gebring. Montgomery sê hy wil graag van nou af twee maande per jaar hier aan die Namibiese kus bestee – en hy oorweeg dit sterk om sy eie plekkie aan te skaf.
Oor die Rugby-wêreldbeker het hy gesê hy dink dis ‘n geval van “Almal se Beker” – maar hy het goeie moed dat Suid-Afrika die eindstryd kan haal – hy meen ook die Springbokke sal ‘n goeie teenstander wees vir Nieu-Seeland in die halfeindstryd. Montgomery sê Namibië het toekomstige rugbyspelers van formaat nodig, en hy glo die jongklomp, wat onder hulle hande deur is tydens ‘n spesiale afrigtingsessie, sal daarby baat vind – veral as dit op ‘n gereelde basis gedoen word.

Rioolstelsel in Walvisbaai 'n Nagmerrie Liesl Losper
‘n Rioolstelsel wat gedurig verstop is en oorloop, is al die afgelope 18 jaar 'n probleem vir ondernemings in Theo Ben Guirirabstraat, Walvisbaai. Kuisebmond se inwoners moes ook weer Sondagoggend vroeg 'n rivier van riool in hul huise en strate trotseer – en hulle eis nou 'n oplossing. die verstopping na ure plaasvind. Soms gebeur dit in die nag. Die tenk se kapasiteit is dan oorskry en riool stort in die straat, en raak ook die ander eiendom langsaan," sê Kevin Adams Kuisebmond-nagmerrie Rioolstorting veroorsaak ook gereeld 'n krisis in Kuisebmond. Volgens mev Elizabeth Vries, 'n inwoner van Kuisebmond, het sy dit al talle male onder die munisipaliteit se aandag gebring oor 'n tydperk van 4 jaar. Inwoners van Kuisebmond het Sondagoggend moedeloos vertel hoe hulle nou al opgegee het om klagtes by die Walvisbaai- munisipaliteit in te dien. “Dis onhigiënies en lok vlieë en benadeel ons as inwoners. Kyk hoe lyk my huis, die fondasie van my vloere kraak en val uitmekaar. Toe ek Sondagoggend vir Andre Burger van die Munisipaliteit skakel, was sy antwoord, Kuisebmond is "crowded.” Sy sê dit kan nie so aangaan nie, dit moet stop "Hulle bring ook altyd sand vir ons, sodat ons die nat areas kan opvul" het van die inwoners gesê, wat Sondag met grawe moes rondspring om die rioolwater van hul huise af weg te keer. “Dit is 'n geweldige gesondheidsrisiko. Ons kinders loop daagliks deur die rioolwater winkel of skool toe en terug en daar is absoluut niks wat ons daaraan kan doen nie. Die munisipaliteit kom dalk na weke of 'n maand
om te help,” het een gesê. Die riool loop in 'n stroom vlak by sy voordeur verby. Mense se wasgeriewe loop ook oor weens rioolstelselverstoppings. “Al wat hulle doen is om hulle gewone praktyk te volg en die riool sommer met 'n pyp uit die strate te kom pomp en dit gee nie eens die plek kans om droog te raak nie, voor die volgende gemors kom” sê nog 'n huiseienaar van Kuisebmond. “Wat is besig om in Kuisebmond te gebeur? Dit is 'n ramp. Waarvoor betaal ons?” het nóg 'n inwoner gevra. Kevin Adams sê 'Die feit is dat die huidige stelsel nooit ontwerp is om die geweldige hoeveelheid riool te hanteer nie - die ideale situasie is een huishouding per erf. Baie huishoudings hier akkommodeer egter 'n groot aantal plakkershuise. Dit maak dit byna onmoontlik om te verseker dat die rioolpypleiding normaalweg kan funksioneer. Die belangrikste oorsaak van rioleringstelselverstoppings is die verkeerde of onwettige storting van voorwerpe in die stelsel. Die munisipaliteit se werke-departement doen volgens hom alles in hul vermoë om blokkasies te voorkom, deur so gereeld as moontlik die stelsel te ledig. As 'n noodmaatreël, word gips op die besoedelde grond gestrooi om gesondheidsgevare te probeer voorkom. Narraville het ook rioolprobleme Tannie Georgina Groenewaldt, soos sy bekend staan, het ook nou al vir

weke voortslepende rioolprobleme in Narraville, Duinstraat. Dit is ook al onder die aandag van die munisipaliteit gebring. Kevin Adams sê in dié geval is daar spesifieke probleme wat die saak vererger, maar dit behoort binnekort opgelos te wees.

"Ons sukkel die afgelope
18 jaar met die Munisipalitiet. In die jare is 'n alternatiewe oplossing elke nou en dan gevind, deur 'n tenk voor die gebou van HP Truck & Diesel op te rig," deel 'n eienaar in die betrokke straat ons mee. Die pyp loop vanuit die groot riooltenk direk na die agterplaas van die instansie waar dit met kartondose toegegooi is. Kevin Adams, die Openbare Kommunikasiebeampte van die Walvisbaai Munisipaliteit antwoord, “Die drein aan die agterkant van HP Truck & Diesel is ongelukkig die laagste punt van die rioolstelsel in die noordelike industriële gebied. 'n Verstopping van die belangrikste deel van die stelsel lei gewoonlik tot 'n oorloop op hierdie punt. Die situasie is vererger toe Talanam Fish Processors ook in die industriële gebied bedrywig geraak het. Ten einde die situasie te probeer verbeter, het die munisipaliteit 'n tenk aan mnr Bluhm geskenk met goedkeuring dat hul die oortollige riool daarin pomp. Die tenk het net 'n kapasiteit van 5000 liter en is dus slegs 'n noodmaatreël. Dit is veronderstel om op 'n gereelde basis skoongemaak te word deur die Departement van Water, Afval & O m g e w i n g s b e s t u u r. Maar twee scenario's kan voorkom - operateurs is dan te besig met ander krisisse om aandag aan die tenk te skenk, en sodoende kan

Swakopmund Municipality – Eco-tourism Seminar Sharlien Tjambari Tourism is a massive and widespread industry in the world it can however have a negative impact on the environment and its biodiversity. Special precautions need to be taken to preserve the sensitive desert landscape of our town. The Swakopmund Municipality held a seminar on 25 February at the Municipality from 10:00 and 13:00. The seminar focused on creating awareness and information sharing on sustainable environment. The city of Malmo in Sweden and Swakopmund Municipality has a memorandum of understanding where both parties agreed to work together in projects of sustainable development. During the first phase of agreement the partners worked together on Waste and Renewable Energy project. The second phase of agreement which is currently ongoing, the partners are working on ecotourism and education for sustainable development projects. According to the General Manager of Health Services at the Swakopmund Municipality and also the eco-tourism project coordinator Mr Lawrence, the Eco-tourism is on its final phase and their twin partners from Sweden visited Swakopmund from 23 - 26 February. Eco-tourism is a form of tourism involving visiting fragile, pristine and relatively undisturbed natural areas, intended as a low-impact and often small scale alternative to standard commercial (mass) tourism. The presentations that were incorporated were presentations about ecotourism in Malmo, Sweden, African Lily Project in the Kunene Region, the African Lily project is a project that looks at what the people in a specific Participants listening attentively community need and supply them with their needs. The founders of the African Lily Project said they do not get any funding from the government and everything they do for the community they do it out of their own pocket, “but we want to encourage the community to help one another” said Mr Frik Van Staden. The other presentation was on recycling to reduce carbon Lüderitz: As part of fulfilling its mandate of promoting the consumption of fish throughout footprint; and international environmental building requirements. the country, the Namibia Fish Consumption Promotion Trust (NFCPT) has reached out to the senior citizens of Lüderitz by hosting a fun day on Saturday, 28 February.

Apart from serving 300 cooked meals with fish as the main ingredient, the NFCPT also donated 300 blankets, food hampers consisting of sugar, coffee and tea and NFCPT promotional material. The entire event spend was to the value of N$90 000. “This humble gesture is to recognise the contribution made by our senior citizens to the development of the local fishing industry and other notable growth in Lüderitz,” said Katrina Sikeni, Board Chairperson of the NFCPT at the event. She highlighted that NFCPT is planning to expand its shop footprint to also include Lüderitz as well as Omuthiya in the near future. “Allow me to use this opportunity to thank the Town Council of Lüderitz for remaining our strategic partner as the Trust will soon announce timelines of our construction of the new fish shop here,” she said.
Since the establishment of the Trust by Cabinet in 2001 it has delivered on its mandate by establishing 14 fish shops in the following towns and regions: Lüdertiz and Keetmanshoop in the //Karas Region, Head Office and fish shop in Walvis Bay and fish shop Swakopmund in the Erongo Region, Mariental in the Hardap Region, Windhoek where we serve the Khomas Region, Gobabis in the Omaheke Region, Rundu in Kavango East Region, Ondangwa & Ongwediva in the Oshana Region, Eenhana in the Ohangwena Region, Outapi in Omusati Region and Opuwo in the Kunene Region. According to the Trust, the planned opening of the Lüderitz outlet is a practical demonstration of how it is working hard to make fish accessible to Namibians, thereby also reflecting the efforts of Government, and it line Ministry in particular, towards achieving food security in the country.

Beached Pygmy Right Whale Rescued An extremely rare whale species, a Pygmy Right Whale, was found stranded just south of Walvis Bay last week. An employee of the Salt works alerted Ms Daniela Maldini of the Namibian Dolphin Project, who initiated an immediate rescue operation. According to Theunis Keulder of Catamaran Charters, who informed namib times about the rescue operation, their staff joined in the rescue effort, and one of the company’s catamarans was dispatched to assist in bringing the whale to deeper waters. The pygmy right whale,
which until 2012 was thought to be extinct and rarely seen at sea, is the smallest and most mysterious of the baleen whales. Information about this whale is sketchy at best, since only a few dozen stranded specimens have been examined by scientists.
Many reported sightings have probably been incorrectly identified minke whales; the small size, dark color, and curved dorsal fin make it almost impossible to tell the two species apart when they are seen at the water’s surface. Pygmy right whales are found only in temperate
waters of the southern hemisphere. Sightings occur in Tasmania year round and seasonally along the coasts
Coastal Sensitivity Maps Launched Coastal Sensitivity Maps help to assist scientific, environmental and other oil spill responders by identifying shoreline sensitivity to oiling, important natural and human-use resources present at the spill site as well as other important biological, environmental, cultural resources. The Acting Deputy Permanent, Department of
Transport of the Ministry of Works and Transport, Mr Ericksson Nengola has said on this occasion, the socio economical and biological resources in the region face potential threats of oil pollution which may originate from shipping and offshore activities taking place in the Namibian Waters. Government developed and adopted the National
oil Spill Contingency Plan (NOSCP) in 2007. The NOSCP provides a national framework, for oil spill response in line with the International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co-operation, 1990 (OPRC 90) to which Namibia is a party. The absence of Coastal Sensitivity Maps for oil spill response was iden-

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?

Swakopmund Matters 4 – 2015 Reaction to Chatham Rock Phosphate's failure to secure permission to mine marine phosphate in New Zealand and the significance of it all for Namibia Today The Namibian has carried an article (http://www.namibian.com.na/indexx.php?id=23731&page_type=story_detail) based on answers Chris Castle, CEO of CRP, supplied to questions sent to him. Readers can form an own opinion of his pomposity. In New Zealand he issued a press release recently to amplify his previous comments after the EPA's Committee had refused his application. Now he had some harsher words and astonishing criticism of the Committee and its decision. His acrimonious attacks included inter alia: “The Committee appeared to be unwilling or unable to understand the reality of working in New Zealand's oceans.” He further vented his spleen with utterances like: · “The committee showed poor understanding of the purpose of modelling or how it works,” · “CRP deserved a better and more balanced consideration of its application,” · “Not a single person in the DMC, the EPA, the NGO's, or any of the opposition see that what is at stake is potentially a lot more to New Zealand than phosphate” and · “The DMC needs at least one scientist who has the mental firepower to understand all the evidence, and at least one person who understands how risk and uncertainty is managed in the real world.” With his vitriolic outburst it is no surprise that he has decided not to appeal the decision. Why would he be taken more serious at the appeal. Instead he now expects the Government to smooth his way to fulfilling “his dream” by amending the rules. But by playing the blame game he avoids the fundamental issues on which CRP's bid failed. He is right and the Committee wrong. He is the only one who understands all the issues – everybody else is clueless. He is so adrift in denial. When the transcripts are read one is struck by the fact that while CRP had well qualified people “communicating the science” the science could not provide convincing answers to fundamental questions that were needed to assess
the impact from prolonged phosphate mining of the area. The bottom line was very simple: the evidence of impact was not persuasive enough as the research, although in many cases good baseline science, did not directly address the impacts. Throughout CRP trivialized the impact on ocean ecosystems. CRP performed poorly under cross examination. The best of the best in NZ and from overseas were involved. CRP's economists also failed their client. So much so that the Committee had to call in experts to review CRP's documentation. The economic report by Sapere, one of the largest expert services firms in Australasia, damned the data put forward by CRP as the latter grossly exaggerated the price of phosphate globally. At one point in its report this is recorded: “There are a number of areas where information or commentary does not adequately inform the reader as to how critical assumptions were arrived at.” In Namibia CRP and other companies wanting to engage in marine phosphate mining will discover that what is being done now is to ensure real targeted scientific studies are undertaken that are not rubberstamping what these companies believe or understand to be scientifically sound. All the international scientists of standing with whom SM has had contact to learn their assessments of the Committee's decision are ad idem on these points: · Impact-study science properly done, does not jus t make use of existing knowledge data, but goes out to investigate actual impacts over the lifetime of mining – only then will the real expected impacts be apparent. This to date is not, or rarely done. · Once revealed impacts are assessed in
this way, there must be adequate regulation to ensure that critical levels of environmental degradation are not overstepped if mining should go ahead: again in the marine mining field this is a huge challenge for regulating authorities because contracts for working in the ocean are hugely profitable and losing even a minute's mining is a loss to the company. · Fishing disturbs and damages; mining effectively destroys because it removes: no evidence of damage or disturbance because the bottom is totally gone, especially in case of bulk mining as is proposed for phosphates. For these scientists the answer is: do what Namibia is doing assess the impacts as thoroughly as possible beforehand, and then make a decision. New Zealand have already bravely led the way. In an article “Seabed mining rebuffs send right message” in the New Zealand Herald of 24 February 2015 Phil McCabe, chairman of Kiwis Against Seabed Mining, made these valid points: “New Zealand will not accept high-risk developments that damage the environment and ecosystems while providing relatively little economic benefit. New Zealand is, and should be, open to smart, sustainable, value-adding investments that provide jobs and livelihoods well into the future without compromising our values, environment, and our way of life. The regulators and the legislation have done their job and delivered the best long-term outcome for New Zealand.” (http://www.nzherald. co.nz/nz/news/article. cfm?c_id=1&objectid =11406740) Prospective phosphate mining companies had their hopes also dashed on another front. Those hoping the International Seabed Authority is
likely to favour commercial exploitation above environmental protection has sadly been disappointed by this important directive delivered by Michael Lodge, its legal counsel: “We are legally bound to protect the environment, which must take precedence. We can only allow commercial exploitation to take place provided there are safeguards”. (Financial Times, 22 Feb. 2015) The importance of this declaration of policy can't be emphasized enough, especially coming from ISA. This is precisely what the ruling by the Committee in New Zealand is all about and why ISA will take an equally dismal view of Castle's arguments. All
indications are that those in Namibia formulating this country's stance on phosphate mining have the significance of this declaration uppermost in their minds. Those clamouring for such marine mining to go ahead will do well to keep this also in mind. But equally important – and here Namibia will have to be extra careful and on the alert - is the question: “who will perform the consented activity”. Imperative to know who will do the work and who will be liable when a catastrophe results! For CRP in New Zealand it will be Boskalis. Indications are that Boskalis would also play that role for CRP in Namibia, if phosphate mining were ever to be allowed. During the CRP hearings it became clear that there were numerous enforcement and compensation issues, along with health and safety issues that arose with the proposed mining ship flying a foreign flag of convenience.
Boskalis uses such ships of convenience. Flags of convenience are widely used to avoid rigorous administration and legal controls over responsible countries. Testimony was given that Boskalis had a history of breaching environmental consents. Namibia must ensure that this situation is ring fenced. For three years now Castle has failed to engage Namibians. He still remains the sole director and only shareholder of CRP's Namibian subsidiary. Not a single Namibian has been involved in any meaningful way. No one has been or is likely to be empowered. To employ a few persons in clerical positions is simply not good enough. There is no commitment of any significance that shows that that situation will change. Unless critical information has been missed, Namibians are not aware of any benefit they may derive from this exploitation of their marine resource. Clearly, CRP
has not levelled with Namibians. Transparency is non-existent. Openness has eroded. In Namibia, as in New Zealand, Castle is playing his own game according to the rules he himself has laid down and expects others to follow. Namibians have the inalienable right to know and to be satisfied that their country's legislative dictates and regulatory prescriptions have been and will be duly met. They will see to it that all applicants behave accordingly. Namibians have a stake in the continued wellbeing of their environment. They place a high premium on its protection and preservation. What failed CRP in New Zealand will not guarantee it success in Namibia. Swakopmund Matters 25 February 2015 (For Swakopmund Matters the environment of the Namibian coastline and its ocean matters)

Dear Editor I refer to an article in your newspaper dated Friday 27th February 2015, in which you quote the following statement (translated) made by our Mayor of Swakopmund Mr. Kambueshe “Nobody will stand in the path of development” I trust this statement was a misprint on your part. I sincerely hope Mr. Kambueshe meant to say ‘’Nobody should stand in the path of development unless he has a valid reason to do so” I fail to believe that a dictatorial statement of this nature can still be uttered 25 years after in-
dependence. We all understand the value of development in this country and nobody in his or her right mind will stand in the path of development unless he or she has a valid reason to do so. One of the most valued developments we have experienced in the last 25 years of independence is the sound manifestation of a democratic society in which we are freely able to express our concerns without being threatened. How can Mr Kambueshe take this right away from us. There are obviously
members of the community that have reason to believe that there are gross irregularities surrounding the La Mer Waterfront development. Surely they have the right to ask questions? Surely they have the right to answers. Let’s not take 25 years of constructive development away by disallowing the people of this country their democratic rights. Mr Mayor, next time you leave home, please put your thinking cap on. Pierre Rene le Roux Namibian born and bred
Liefie Kyk, Liefie wil mos orals wees so toe maak dié maar ook ‘n ‘Facebook’ blad oop. Maar kyk, is Liefie nie bly oor die lesers nie, want net nou die dag word daar gesê die manne koop die koerant net vir Liefie. Hul blaai glo eerste tot by Liefie en dan eers word die res van die koerant gelees. Dis mos nou musiek in Liefie se ore en Liefie vryf dan hande teen mekaar soos ’n vlieg op ’n stukkie mis. Liefie hoor so in die verbyloop dat daar groot ongelukkigheid is omdat een sekere maatskapy se motors naweke so stilletjies deur die toets gesit word by die verkeersafdeling, terwyl die skool leerlinge maar geduldig moet wag om hul karretjies deur die toets te kry. So gepraat van besigheid, daar was in Liefie se oor gefluister dat oorlog verklaar is by ’n besigheid teen oneerlike kliënte, sowel as personeel. Dis nou mense wat inkom en so bietjie knoei met personeel om hulle goedjies teen ‘n special prys te kry in ruil vir ’n ou fooitjie. Maar die ou personeellid eindig toe met ‘n kriminele rekord en sit in ’n jap trap sonder werk, toe die onderduimse transaksie aan die lig gekom het. En die klient wat so kom knoei, was sy hande in onskuld. Is dit nou nie
skaamteloos om ander mense so te gebruik nie? Dan het Liefie weer gehoor daar is ‘something fishy’ hier in die baai. Die een boot was glo so vol vis gelaai dat dié te swaar was om uit die water te laai. Ons praat nou van groot kabeljoue wat toe met die hand afgelaai moes word net om die boot uit die water te kry. Die visse saam weeg glo amper 650kg. Liefie wonder nou sommer ook oor die 37cm kabeljoue wat nie terug gegooi word in die water deur die skippers nie, want die see visserye sal mos nie by die bote of by skoonmaak plek kom kyk nie, of hoe?

Crown Birthday party with a difference Liesl Losper
“Normally I had my child’s birthday party at home, inviting friends, but this year I wanted to make a difference” Albertina Nyoni (25) said. She’s the mother of little Constance who turned 3, and it was her crown birthday. More little faces than one were full of surprises when Connie had her birthday party at Walvis Bay Kids Haven. Only because she, Albertina, decided to celebrate this day and also to give back to the community in such a way.
Constance turned 3 on the 3rd of February, but she was travelling with her father on that day and the decision then was to do this at the end of February. Albertina also donated groceries to Kids Haven, as well as an amount of N$1 000. Each
one of them also got a t-shirt for this party. Their little eyes sparkeled with excitement, especially when they saw the creative high heels treats made out of muffins and other sweets. Constance had about 9 friends of her own at her party, celebrating with the kids from the haven. Constance looked like a fairy tale princess, and played the role perfectly. The Walvis Bay Kids Haven thanked Ms Nyoni for the kind gesture.

Petrus Nangolo Teofilus produces films and has a clear obsession when it comes to turning real life events into short films. Petrus, who is better known as Dr Makiti is a self-made businessman who owns a successful and well known carwash in Kuisebmond. He was born in Windhoek but later moved to the north where he completed his Grade ten at Iiviyongo Combined School. Although his carwash business brings him the income, he still keeps homself busy with filmmaking. Dr Makiti still finds pleasure in producing films and he is also an actor. The passionate and determined producer/actor created his first masterpiece “The Pastor which has a Part one, two and three” in 2005. “Pastor Part One is about a fake pastor who abuses
his power after being negatively influenced by his so-called best friend” he explains. Dr Makiti further explains that the love for film making developed after he played the role of a bodyguard to the king in an American movie titled “10 000 BC”. He further added that, because being part of the movie, doing all that acting and watching movies like “Rambo” was something different and very inspiring, he chose to start his own film production “Kufamosha film production”. Dr Makiti is now the proud producer of nine films under which, “Ofiyo Onaini (meaning ‘until when’) in the Oshiwambo language, which has parts
In a scene form one of his films, Petrus Nangolo Teofilus alias Dr Makiti one, two and three. He says the reason he chose to embark in a career in film producing is because the Namibian film industry

spends some of his time as a traditional dancer, when he is not out volunteering and doing his part for the community.

SA Rugbylegendes sorg vir 'n onvergeetlike naweek Die Swakopmund Rugbyklub se Suid-Afrikaanse Legendes-naweek het groot belangstelling gewek – sowat 200 pre-primêre en primêre spelers het aan die afrigtingskliniek deelgeneem, wat die kern van die naweek gevorm het. Percy Montgomery, Ian Macintosh, Peter Muller and Dale Sandston het deel uitgemaak van die rugby-feesnaweek. Vir baie was die groot trekpleister, Percy Montgomery, wat 'n seun van die geweste is, en wat duidelik tuis was in die omgewing. Ander het Peter Muller uitgesonder as hulle held – maar die boodskap was duidelik: Rugby het Koning gekraai danksy die vier vriendelike legendes. Montgomery het aan namib times gesê – die seuns was baie jonk, maar hy was seker dat hulle dit reggekry het om die spannetjie te begeester en hy hoop elkeen het iets gekry tydens die oefensessies, wat hy die res van sy rugbylewe met hom sal saamdra. Die naweek het effens wankelrig begin toe 'n geleentheid vir bejaardes gekanselleer moes word weens, soos dit gestel is, 'n misverstand rondom die koste van toegang.. die bejaardes het toe heerlik saamgekuier by die dinee Vrydagaand, waar 'n veiling gehou is om geld vir die klub in te samel. Sowat N$40 000 is met die veiling gemaak. Saterdag is die naweek afgesluit met 'n visvangsessie by Myl 8, waar Peter Muller hom ook hier skitterend van sy taak gekwyt het, en 'n paar yslike haaie uitgetrek het. Percy Montgomery het hom selwers ook in dié vang-afdeling laat geld. Die voorsitter van die Rugbyklub, Winton van der Westhuizen, sê die naweek was só 'n sukses dat dit heel moontlik 'n jaarlikse instelling gaan raak. Howard Cleland, 'n professionele filmograaf, het die hele naweek op video verewig, en 'n volledige program sal later vanjaar op SuperSport gebeeldsend word. Cleland het ook goedgunstiglik vir namib times van sy skitterende foto's gegee om met die rugbygeesdriftiges te deel, deur middel van die koerant en ons Facebook-blad.
Swakop Striders presteer goed by Coca Cola Privaatskole byeenkoms, Losper sorg vir groot verrassings
Lee-Anzo Losper is weer op goeie vorm en het skoonskip in die 0/19 afdeling gemaak! Losper het nie minder as 4 goue medaljes en 6 trofeëes Saterdag verower. Swakop Striders atlete wat in verskeie skole in Walvisbaai sowel as Swakopmund is het die afgelope naweek in Windhoek deel geneem aan die Coca Cola Privaatskole byeenkoms. Die Striders het oor die algemeen baie goed gevaar. Atlete word in alle items goed ontwikkel. Die hoogspringers het goed domineer in die item met Jayden, Siranda, Hilke, Chrislene,
Armand, Martin, Minette, Jonathan wat almal goud verower het. Nog goeie prestasies is ook deur die ander hoogspringers bereik. Baie geluk Hennie Horn vir uitstekende afrigting. By die verspring het Chrislene goud verower, ander atlete wat in hierdie afdeling goed presteer het en ook medaljes verower het is Raymondie, Hilke en Kauri. Met ons ter perse gaan het ons ongelukkig nog nie al die name in die
afdeling nie. Ulla Finkeldey, doen ook goeie werk vir Swakop sowel as Walvisbaai in verspring en dan ook in die baan items het sy verskeie goeie prestasies. Op die baan was daar 'n groot oes. Lotte, Pablo, Mirca, Chrislene, Gildo, Armin, Jurenzo, Raymonde, Kian, Shermin, Raymond, Craig, Perpetua, Charnè, Kauri, Stefni, Gilad, Lezardo, Anè, Manghito & Lee-Anzo het almal baie goeie plekke en medaljes
verower. Perpetua het uitstekend in al 3 items gevaar en met 'n 3m elke keer haar teenstaanders geklop. Lee-Anzo Losper het gewys dat hy weer op goeie vorm is nadat hy in 2014 met beserings gesukkel het. Hy het Namibie 2013 verteenwoordig by die “World Youth Games” in Donetsk. Lee-Anzo het die skare op hul voete gehad in die 100, 200, 400 en seuns 0/19 aflos. Sy aflos span het 2 0/17 lede gehad, hul
was 3m agter by die laaste oorgee aan hom en hul het met 2m gewen! Hy het in die 100 die rekord verbeter en daarmee verskeie prestasies behaal. Lee-Anzo het die volgende titels Saterdag ingepalm, beste seun 0/19, beste baan item, beste atleet vir die dag, beste prestasie, Senior Victor Ludorm. Swakop Striders is baie trots op hom en die woorde “Lee-Anzo did it again”het Saterdag vir hom opgeklink.

Dannyboy victorious, Ndokosho dethroned Marshallino Beukes
Swakopmund boxer, Albinus “Dannyboy” Felisiano, managed to obtain yet another world title on Saturday at Outapi. This talented, vibrant boxer from the coast was crowned as the new World Boxing Federation (WBF) Inter-Continental Lightweight champion, after his seventh round tech-
nical knock-out against Humbulani Nechamchezi of South Africa. A confident Dannyboy told namib times sport, shortly before his departure to Outapi, that he was going to bring
the title back to Swakopmund. The champ made this statement at a sponsorship handover by Mr João Coimbra of Dare Devil Adventures, one of the few coastal com-
panies, ploughing back into the community through sport development. This victory is once again testimony that coastal boxers are a force to be reckoned with and certainly put the Erongo Region and Namibia on the international map. However, these boxers
are still struggling to get local support and assistance. Big companies, as well as local and Regional authorities are yet to get on board. At the same event another Swakopmund boxer, Gotlieb “The Bite” Ndokosho, unfortunately lost his
International Boxing Federation (IBF) International Featherweight title to Oscar Chauke from South Africa. The South African was declared the winner after twelve rounds of action, through a unanimous decision by the Mr João Coimbra (left) judges (117-110, 119- with Dannyboy, before his departure to Outapi 108 and 116-111).
“Balero” wen interne pool toernooi Marshallino Beukes
Swakopmund Pool Klub het Saterdag hul amptelike bekendstelling by Thirtysomething Lounge in Tamariskia gehad en Jurgen “Balero” Sinden het die interne toernooi, wat gepaardgaande Swakopmund Pool Club met Cornelius van Wyk daarmee was, ingepalm. (Sign World) heel regs Die dag was ‘n reuse sukses met talle spelers wat geregistreer het as lede en Sign World van Swakopmund het t-hemde, twee baniere en telborde aan die klub geskenk. Mnr Cornelius Van Wyk van Sign World het genoem dat dit vir hulle ‘n eer is om met die nuutgestigde
Die span
potbal klub geassosieer te kan word, en dat dit deel van hul sosiale verantwoordelikheid is om terug te ploeg in die gemeenskap. Hy het ander besighede aangemoedig om hul voorbeeld te volg en sport in Swakopmund te ondersteun.
Volgens Van Wyk is hierdie slegs die begin van groot dinge, aangesien Sign World onderneem om nog ‘n lang paadjie met die klub te stap. Die toernooi is in goeie gees gespeel, met van die spelers wat nog nie honderd present met die nuwe reëls bekend is nie,
maar misverstande wat ontstaan het, is uitgeklaar. “Balero” het in die wenners-afdeling teen oom Hottie Van Wyk te staan gekom en na drie wedstryde tussen die twee skerpskutters het die telling op 2-1 in eersgenoemde se guns gestaan. In die verloorders-afdeling het Velencia “Kef” Van Wyk met veteraan, oom Marius, swaarde gekruis. “Kef” het na drie wedstryde as triomfeerder uit die stryd getree. Hierdie toernooi was duidelike bewys dat die nuwe klub oor hope potensiaal en talent beskik en gevestigde spanne in hierdie sportkode sal defnitief nie “die katjie sonder handskoene kan aanpak nie.”
