Extinct species Continued from front page the next four years. They want shacks to become “an extinct species”.

The local authority of Walvis Bay, dominated by the ruling Swapo Party since 1994, has failed the people in the delivery of serviced urban land, and affordable housing. Twenty-six years after the re-integration of Walvis Bay and thousands of peoples' only roof over their heads are shacks, with the associated evils of fire danger, no proper ventilation and exploitation by landowners renting out these shacks at exorbitant prices.

In most instances these landlords don't even afford their tenants basic services of a toilet or place to shower or bath. For people living in shacks, basic services like sewerage, clean water and electricity are distant dreams most often only phrases in promises when the next political cycle campaigns to stay in power.

Residents who gathered at the Kuisebmond stadium demanded feedback on a letter submitted to the Walvis Bay municipality in September. The people demand from landowners who rent out shacks to treat them with dignity and reduce shack rentals. Landlords in most instances refuse the people on their properties access to ablution facilities and steep rentals result in people having to move from one place to another, as they simply cannot stay ahead with the rental prices.

Many of the residents who live in the Twolaloka area also demanded the local authority make more land available.

“There is no way all of us can live in Twaloloka, the land is too small”, said Martha Hendrik, the group leader. Hendrik explained Twaloloka is too densely populated and more land should be made available as a matter of extreme urgency.

“We are tired of this way of living. We request our Local Authority to liberate us from these living conditions. We want to live without stress and worries”.

Namib Times directed the peoples' concerns to representatives of the five main opposition parties that will be contesting in the upcoming local authority elections in Walvis Bay on 25 November.

Representatives of the Affirmative Repositioning (AR), Independent Patriots for Change (IPC), Joint Walvis Bay Residents Association (JWRA) and Landless People Movement (LPM) agreed the time has come to separate Walvis Bay's housing dilemma from politics.

“Separating social challenges like housing and access to decent services from politics is the only practical approach to deliver results. It does not matter what your political affiliation is. Every Namibian has the right to live their lives in decency. We can only bring respect and decency to every Namibian if we cancel out local authority politics and tackle our social challenge with vigor and with a results-driven program”, observed a senior official in the Walvis Bay municipality who said he too is disappointed in how the successive Swapo-led local authority councils neglected the harbour town's housing and infrastructure needs.

A local authority candidate for the IPC said it should be every politician and every Walvis Bay resident's moral duty in the next four years to eradicate shacks and make it an extinct species that will never return again to haunt the people of Namibia.

Picture on the front page: the Twaloloka informal settlement in Walvis Bay was devastated by a fire earlier this year. Twaloloka became the symbol of the severe social evil shacks brought into the lives of the people of Namibia.

Cllr Knowledge Ipinge Continued from front page within the Walvis Bay municipality”.

Cllr Ipinge in particular wants answers over an alleged “disappearance” of N$24 million from the Massive Land Servicing Project”.

Cllr Ipinge says it is inadequate answers so far over this N$24 million why the Erongo Regional Council at its last meeting refused to adopt the Walvis Bay municipality's audited financial statements for the financial year ending 30 June 2018.

Ipinge in the strongest terms rejected claims by the municipality's CEO, Muronga Haingura, that the funds were in a suspense account of the local authority and that it is currently being reconciled.

Equally Ipinge questions why the mayor of Walvis Bay, Alderman Immanuel Wilfried did not keep his promise to call a meeting where the missing millions would be explained. Furthermore, Haingura is roasted for his explanation to a national newspaper that “banking errors” caused the millions not featuring on the financial system.

Cllr Ipinge further called for the immediate suspension of the Property Manager of the Walvis Bay municipality, Jack Manale, for a recon-

ciliation sheet he provided to the Regional Council over the missing millions. Cllr Ipinge described the reconciliation sheet as “dubious” and “leaving more questions than answers”.

Ipinge called for a forensic audit into all land deals in Walvis Bay the past years under the watch of successive Swapo local authority councils. He called for the suspension of officials who could have involved themselves in underhand dealings with Walvis Bay's lucrative urban land.

The delegation that arrived at the civic centre yesterday to hand over the petition were greeted with a “no show” of any official to receive the petition on behalf of the municipality. The group were stopped by the Namibian Police from entering the civic centre, to search for an official who could receive the petition.

The group hoped for the CEO Muronga Haingura to receive the petition. The CEO was however, out of the office to attend a gathering at the Twaloloka informal settlement with the Minister of Urban and Local Development, Erastus Uutoni.

The full extract of the petition appears elsewhere on this page.

The group of people who wanted to hand the petition to the municipality of Walvis Bay yesterday at some point crossed a line set by members of the Namibian Police. The Police set the perimeter in the interest of public order, but people disregarded it. The Namibian Police members present performed an excellent job in balancing the developing situation with law and order.

Police officers explained to the group that their right to this gathering is respected, but that it also demands respect from the public for the work the Namibian Police has to do.

6 NOVEMBER 2020

Petition calling for investigation of past land deals at the Municipality of Walvis Bay Also see article on front page PETITION – CORRUPTION AND POOR SERVICES DELIVERY WITHIN WALVIS MUNICIPALITY 1. At the last Erongo Regional Council Ordinary meeting we refused to adopt the Walvis Bay municipality's audited annual financial statements for the financial year ending 30 June 2018 due to an estimated N$24 million missing for the Massive Land Service Project.

2. On the 5th of September 2020 the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) published a news article in which the CEO of the Walvis Bay Municipality. Muronga Haingura claimed that the missing millions were in a suspense account and that they were busy reconciling the funds, which according to him was very easy to trace.

3. On the 7th of September 2020 Eagle FM published a news article in which the Mayor Wilfried Immanuel claimed that a meeting will be held to provide clarity on the missing millions.

4. We have additionally taken note of your reckless statements in the Windhoek Observer yesterday in relation to alleged banking errors.

5. Till date our office didn't receive any official correspondence of feedback from the Chairperson of the Erongo Regional Council, the CEO of Walvis Bay Municipality or the Mayor of Walvis Bay despite the existence of a resolution taken at the last Erongo Regional Council meeting in this regard and multiple letters written to both the CEO and the Mayor.\ 6. On the 3rd of November 2020, a dubious recon sheet was sent to my office by the Property Manager of the Walvis Bay Municipality. Jack Manale for reason not yet clear to me till date as no write up or motivation accompanied the sheet.

7. Flabbergasting enough, the recon sheet left me with more questions than answers as it raised a whole lot of red flags just by browsing through it and has the potential to open a can of worms when compared to the primary recon as received in August 2020. (see annexure 2) 8. The Auditor General's report adversely states, there is no acceptable reporting framework in place at the Municipality, which makes fraud and corruption very easy.

9. We have it on record that millions linked to over 40 register houses due to the Municipality of Walvis Bay are missing and unaccounted for by relevant departments within the Municipality.

10. We have it on record that the Municipality of Walvis Bay has spent close to N$4.2 million to pay a security company to guard over 80 empty houses linked to the Massive Urban Land Servicing project.

11. We demand that the Municipality stop mistreating public funds.

12. We demand that the launch an independent forensic audit immediately and a conclusive investigation covering all alleged corruption within the Municipality related to the Massive Urban Land Servicing project and other related matters that the residents have been raising over the years.

13. We demand that the responsible parties within the Municipality by internally charged and removed from their positions with immediate effect.

14. We demand that all Municipality agreements especially related to land and housing deals over the past years be made public and easily accessible to all residents, to improve service delivery and fight corruption in our Municipality.

15. We demand that the Municipality be people centered, corrupt free and accessible directed towards creation of jobs and provisions of quality services to all our residents.

16. We demand that the Municipality abolish the usage of consultants and contractors to perform basic functions of the Municipality such as repairing of our terrible roads.

17. We urge everyone with relevant information here to come forward and assist us in the name of transparency y and to clean our Municipality.

Langstrand resident fear “spitefulness” behind this messy affair A Langstrand resident was left in utter disappointment when he approached a person last weekend who was part of a group of people enjoying a day at the municipal tidal pools and adjacent braaifacilities. The group left the area in what can only be described as a “mess”.

The person who was approached took issue when he was asked if he and his companions could tidy up the area before leaving.

Instead, the person allegedly took it personal and then took a politically motivated tone.

“We as Swapo members know you people living here will vote for the Joint Walvis Bay Residents Association in the local authority election and for the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) in the Regional Council Elections. We will even return and make the place more dirty next time”, the man allegedly said before walking off.

Pictures herewith shows what the place looked like afterwards.

“I don’t think this man was fair at all. Firstly, it reflects negative on us as Namibians if we leave places in such a mess. Secondly, to do this out of political spitefulness is childish”, the resident told Namib Times.

He expressed hope the man was not serious, and calls upon supporters of all political parties to be disciplined and cognisant of their fellow-countrymen.

“The fact that people have different political affiliations does not mean we as Namibians should not care for one another and ensure our country remains clean and tidy.

6 NOVEMBER 2020

It's Movember November time!

During the last 7-year reporting cycle, 2 125 prostate cancer diagnosis were recorded, and 10 477 Namibian men were diagnosed with a form of cancer (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer).

On average 1 500 Namibian males are diagnosed with cancer annually, vs 1 615 women per annum. The age group 30 – 69 years remain the most affected.

Kaposi's Sarcoma remains on this increase in Namibia a well and comes in second to prostate cancer averaging 185 cases per annum.

This form of cancer is commonly associated with a weakened immune system, such as patients

living with an unmanaged HIV+ status.

“It therefore remains crucial that, similarly as we have made a big noise for breast cancer just last week with Pink Day, Namibians should also support men's health with its “Movember no Shave” and “National Blue Day” events that

will take place on Friday, 26 November 2020,” stressed Rolf Hansen, CEO of CAN. Funds raised during the November campaigns are all earmarked for the men's health clinic that CAN hosts every first Tuesday of the month in Windhoek, as well as the outreach pro-

gramme that travels across all regions of Namibia at least once a year to provide education and complimentary screening services for primarily prostate-, breast-, and cervical cancers (the three most diagnosed cancers in Namibia).

Let's talk about Prostate Cancer: Prostate cancer affects the prostate gland, the gland that produces some of the fluid in semen and plays a role in urine control in men. The prostate gland is located below the bladder and in

front of the rectum.

Regular testing is crucial as the cancer needs to be diagnosed before metastasis.

Here are some key points about the prostate cancer: 1) The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system.

2) Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men.

3) It is treatable if diagnosed early, before it spreads.

4) If symptoms appear, they include problems with urination.

5) Regular screening Is the best way to detect it in good time.

There are usually no symptoms during the early stages of prostate cancer. However, if symptoms do appear, they usually involve one or more of the following: 1) Frequent urges to urinate, including at night 2) Difficulty commencing and maintaining urination 3) Blood in the urine or semen 4) Painful urination and, less commonly, ejaculation 5) Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection may be difficult

Advanced prostate cancer can involve the following symptoms: 1) Bone pain, often in the spine, femur, pelvis, or ribs2 2) Bone fractures 3) If the cancer spreads to the spine and compresses the spinal cord, there may be leg weakness, urinary incontinence, faecal incontinence Events in support of men's health awareness this November: Hollard Insurance and Kosmos 94.1FM take hands with the Cancer Association of Namibia again, to host the “MyLife Movember Golf Day” on Friday, 27 November 2020 at the Windhoek Golf Cub.

Infinox Capital INFINOX Capital, a leading CFD trading broker with international presence and market expertise is announcing its expansion into key economic African countries with one being Namibia. This follows its recent launch of operations in Nigeria, and the company's intent to launch an African hub in South Africa in the coming months.

Jay Mawji, Managing Director of INFINOX Capital, attributes this decision to the fact that the continent has a high youth population makeup combined with the improvements made through the implementation of technologies and the accessibility thereof.

“There is a strong drive to bridge the knowledge and accessibility gaps between bankers in major global financial hubs and the everyday person on their mobile device.”

Please find pasted below my signature, a full media release discussing Infinox's expansion into Namibia and the opportunities it offers for online traders.

We would also like to

propose an interview with Jay Mawji, MD at Infinox in order to discuss topics such as: · The current trading online landscape in Africa; ·Why the company decided to expand into Namibia; · His advice for Namibian traders.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Accessibility drives INFINOX Capital's expansion into Africa “For any financial institution, Africa is the place to be.” This is the sentiment of Jay Mawji, Managing Director of INFINOX Capital, a leading CFD trading broker with international presence and market expertise, which is announcing its expansion into key economic African countries, namely Namibia, Botswana, Mo-

zambique, Tanzania and Ghana. This follows its recent launch of operations in Nigeria, and the company's intent to launch an African hub in South Africa in the coming months.

Mawji attributes this decision to the fact that the continent has a high youth population makeup combined with the improvements made through the implementation of technologies and the accessibility thereof. “There is a strong drive to bridge the knowledge and accessibility gaps between bankers in major global financial hubs and the everyday person on their mobile device.”

He adds that with Africa being home to as many as 1,3-million traders, according to insights provided by

ForexBrokers.co.za, INFINOX Capital believes that as technological accessibility increases, the boost in the economic standpoint of the country will result in a growth in the middle class population with additional disposable income. “This, we believe, will most certainly mean a surge in popularity as many realise the potential of expanding their exposure to financial markets through the investment in CFD and associated trading commodities.”

“We have observed that the African markets we are expanding into are already seeing a significant increase in potential investors showing an interest in trading stocks and other products by downloading various industry-related apps, and being more financiallysavvy,” he says. “This is driven by the country's technological accessibility, having the appropriate infra-

structure in place, and the right skillset of the people utilising the various platform solutions.”

INFINOX Capital's differentiating factor is its commitment to offering clients on-theground support in each market, and in doing so, minimising what is done from its Londonbased offices.

This maximises operations from the regional offices in the specific country, based on the understanding that each market is unique and that local representation and support by convergent thinkers allow for local market knowledge, insights and expertise.

“While our expansion into key African markets indeed allows for job creation, our commitment of being a real organisation run by real people with on-theground presence lends to our principle of employee retention and growth,” says Mawji.

“Our intention as an employer is to positively impact the lives of our employees across all regions by seeing them succeed and change their lives for the better.”

As the infrastructure to connect continues its reach throughout the continent, Mawji says that further expansion into other markets in Africa is quite possible with the launch of INFINOX Capital's recently released trading app. “We have launched our app to make trading even more accessible in regions across Africa.

Comparable to Instagram for trading, it provides clients with the interactive functionality to social trade, see what other traders are doing, and follow

and engage with them.”

“While it's great to have an online presence and an app, the process still involves client's money meaning that many may be apprehensive to invest and transact with a faceless organisation.

INFINOX Capital, while a large firm, acts as a small organisation, and it is for this reason that the interactive experience with local representation is important, adding a sense of trust, comfort, personal touch and support for clients,” concludes Mawji.

Desperate times call for desperate measures Rudi Bowe

Due to non-action desperate times call for desperate measures as the members of the National African Student Association (NASA) held peaceful demonstrations on 27 October 2020 across the country to highlight the financial plight of local students.

According to NASA the mission of the Ministry of Higher Education, Training and Innovation (MoHETI) is to provide accessible, equitable and inclusive quality education for a tolerant skilled, productive and competitive nation, to promote and preserve arts and culture for nationhood and unity in diversity. This is achieved from preeducation to tertiary education.

The student Association said “In contrast to this, the Namibian Student

Financial Assistance Fund(NSFAF) has adopted a policy in July 2019 which is diverting from NSFAF Act Mandate which is to find all students that are studying at recognized higher learning institution and doing a course which is Namibia Qualification Authority (NQA).”

“However, the policy discriminates, divide and favor some students and institution as result many students are rejected and end up struggling to pay for their studies. Students are not happy with how the Fund is being managed and miss expro-

priated by NSFAF administration as many corruption practices are being reported, as a result money meant to fund needy students is used for self-enrichment through corruption” The student Association said.

The students claim that the awarding decision of NSFAFdoes not affect first year students only, instead, it is affecting all year groups. This is because since 2016, there have been hiccups in funding students, which left many still owing the university, including those who have

The Secretary General of National African Student Association (NASA) in Erongo region Japan Jason handed the petition to Walvis Bay Urban Constituency Councillor Knowledge Ipinge

The group of protesting students at the office of the Walvis Bay Urban Constituency already graduated, whose qualifications are being withheld by University of Namibia and they cannot secure jobs. This has perplexed the students when they think of what will happen to those who are still in grades 11 and 12.

The Erongo region branch of NASA in Walvis Bay they hand over a petition to the Walvis Bay Urban Constituency office.

The petition is intended for the MoHETI, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and NSFAF. The Secretary General of National African Student Association (NASA) in Erongo region Japan Jason who read the petition on behalf of all the NASA members said that the promising future generation and human capital development of the Namibian child is at stake.

We are in agony and fear that our voices and concerns have for long been abysmally ignored, we are desperate.

According to Jason, Over the course of the year, various student leadership organs have engaged and submitted various Complains to NSFAF, MoHETI, and MoF on outstanding student fees (Tuition and Non-Tuition) for 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively and little has been actioned hitherto.

Jason said “The situation has gone out of hand and today we are not sure whether NSFAF will be able to fund students who will be in their first year for the 2021 academic year, as the MoHETI and MoF continues to allocate inadequate funding to NSFAF year after year.

“We as NASA member, therefore, carry

out this protest called “Equal student funding protest” to address the unsolved student's issues and we demand that NSFAF, MoHETI and MoF give us the students a positive response to our demands.”

The students stated that the protest will only end if their demands are met and responded to. If not, they will continue protesting at NSFAF headquarters.

The demands are the full payment and settlements student's non-tuitions fees of 2017,2018, 2019 and 2020. The full settlement of Financial Aid to Namibian students abroad and funding for Postgraduate students as well as the abolishment of predetermine rate funding.

The withdrawal of the draft NSFAF discriminatory funding policy

that has been amended to disadvantage poor students, reactivate funding for all Articulating Students and give contracts to all rejected level 5 Students as well as equal non-Tuition fees for all TVET funded students and non-Tuition Fees for boarding students.

The advertisement of CEO Position of N S FA F, N TA , W V T C , N I M T, NUST and NCSRT, the immediate removal of the Acting CEO Mr. Kennedy Kandume and the ree s t a b l i s h N S FA F regional Offices back to each region.

Walvis Bay Urban Constituency Councillor Knowledge Ipinge received the petition and promised the students to forward it to the relevant authorities.

PRESS RELEASE * Issued by Emoneko / OELC On Friday, 23 October, the SPCA's of Walvis Bay and Swakopmund respectively received a financial contribution from the Olympia Eye and Laser Centre to assist with the care of their shelter animals.

During the Covid-19 lockdown, many people faced economic challenges and could no longer take care of their pets. As a result, most SPCA's got an influx of unwanted and neglected pets and are challenged to address the needs of all the animals. It is no understatement to say that this year has by far been the worst the SPCA's have experienced in terms of owner surrenders.

The Walvis Bay SPCA received critical veterinary medical supplies in the form of the first and second vaccination for the cats under their care. Core vaccines should be administered to all animals to protect them against severe, life-threatening disease that have a global distribution.

The SPCA in Swakopmund, who is currently celebrating their 50th anniversary, requested cat food for their cattery. At the moment the kennels of the SPCA are filled to the brim with cats, and no more cats can be accommodated. Many cats are waiting to be adopted into a new loving home.

Birgit Hoffmann, General Manager of EMONEKO / Olympia Eye and Laser Centre said “the animals at the various shelters were deserted by their owners.

Now they are in need of medical support, food and shelter, and cannot help themselves. I am happy if we from the Olympia Eye and Laser Centre can make a small contribution to lighten the plight of the shelter animals and support the SPCA's in the valuable work they are doing in our society.”

“We are selling Covid-19 protective masks at our various outlets, being the Olympia Eye and Laser Centre, Aesthetics Centre Olympia, Olympia Optics and Café Coffee. All funds raised in this manner are topped up very generously by the business owner, Dr Jonathan Joffe, enabling us to stand here today to give the gift of life to some of the shelter animals,” Hoffmann elaborated. “Our clients come from all over Namibia to our clinic in Olympia. Most of them buy a mask from us. Therefore, we will be visiting more shelters across the country to give our support to the community in the form of supporting selected animal shelters in areas in which we do business.”

SPCA's across Namibia are welfare organisations, and highly dependent on donations and funding from the community. SPCA's operate independently of each other and campaign for animal welfare, assist in the prevention of cruelty to animals cases, rehabilitation and finding homes for maltreated and unwanted animals that can be reestablished into new homes. All across Namibia, there are many animals sitting in animal shelters waiting for homes.

Unfortunately, not all these dogs and cats will ever get one.

NIIHA Development trials held Rudi Bowe

The Namibia Inline and Ice Hockey Association (NIIHA) held their Youth Development trials over the past weekend at the DTS rink in Windhoek.

Nearly 70 young players attended the trails where they gave their best to be part of the team of 46 players that were selected to represent Namibia at State Wars to be held in St Peters, Missouri USA in 2021.

Two years ago, NIIHA, as part of a bold new development effort send young Namibian players to participate at the State Wars in the USA. The players won 7 medals in 7 divisions, including 5 Gold. The players are looking forward to competing again and come home with more medals.

NIIHA President Bernd Bajorat said, “We were very happy with the turnout this year. There is a high level of excitement amongst the players and the parents. Everyone is energized and eager about the future of the sport and the efforts we are making to develop our program from the young ages and will have a big return in the future.”

According to Bajorat Inline Hockey is more than

just sport, these opportunities have a transcendent ability, and they open up the world to these young Namibian players. State Wars has nearly 20 countries competing and nearly 400 teams playing.

Bajorat said “These events are not just about performing well, but also being healthy physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Coming back with new experiences, friends and a better understanding of the world is something we are happy to be able to offer the young Namibian players and their families.”

“Last year one of our players, George Tjaahapi, delighted fans with his skill and play at State Wars and drew the attention of 2-time Stanley Cup winner and NHL player Pat Maroon. The two have become friends and they regularly keep in touch.” George was selected for teams again this year and he looks forward to representing Namibia once again in 2021” Bajorat added.

It was a close affair after the first round with Grant Mather, Kevin Wentzel and Gert Olivier Junior all in the hunt for the overall nett and Danie van Antwerpen and Shane Westerdale leading the best nett race.

In the ladies it was Wima de Wet and Estelle Bothma leading the field. But then along came day two, and in ideal weather for the early start it was game on.

The overall gross leaders went head to head and soon it was a two-man race between Grant Mather, Kevin Wentzel with Grant Mather eventually coming out on top by 2 shots from Kevin Wentzel with Gert Olivier coming in third. Well done Grant a worthy champion.

In the nett race Danie started well but two out of bounds put paid to his chances. It was Piet van Niekerk who shot the lights out to win best nett by three shots from Shane with Frans Grobler coming in third.

Wilma kept her head to win the ladies division with Justine Grobler winning best nett. Well played Wilma, also a worthy champion.

The 'A' division best gross was won by Jaco Greeff with the best nett going to Rocco Viljoen. In the 'B' division it was Tienie de Wet who won best gross with David Peake winning the best nett with Deville Dreyer won the 'C' division best gross with Carlos de Gouveia winning best nett in that division.

Potch Alchin won the best round on Sunday and Chris Bothma and Corne Schalkwyk won the lucky draws. Dean Kock represented the sponsors at the prize giving and committed to being back next year.

Thank you, Desert Iron and Steel, for sponsoring the

Club Championships for a good few year now.

Thanks also went to the ladies in the kitchen, the bar ladies and the green keeping staff who were out early on Sunday The pro shop has received a few new golfing manuals so please check the store for one which will hopefully suit and improve your game.

It was another day where the JOKER ducked a bullet last Friday, and for the first time in a long time it was an 'outsider' Eliza Steyl from Tsumeb who drew the 9 of clubs to ensure the JOKER survives another week.

Rocco Viljoen gave up the chance to win the 500 bucks on the members draw as he was not at the club but fortunately it was Andre Burger who was there to take away at least 300 bucks.
