The CEO of the Namibian partner of Namibia flyafrica, Clifford Strydom of Nomad Aviation, has confirmed to the namib times that the airline will be introducing direct flights from Walvis Bay to Johannesburg and Cape Town by mid-2015. He spoke to the namib times from Cape Town, after the official launch of the Cape Town leg of the flight plan. Return flights between Windhoek and Johannesburg and Windhoek and Cape Town, taxes included, will cost around N$2 000.
Strydom said prices for return flights to and from Walvis Bay would cost more or less the same. He confirmed that they are definitely looking at the introduction of direct flights between Walvis Bay and Windhoek, and that they would also con-
tinue their quest to have direct flights from Eros Airport, to Walvis Bay, Johannesburg and Cape Town, re-instated. Strydom says they have been trying for the last six to seven years, to realise this. “Nomad has been operating a successful airline in Namibia since 1989, but
we have always wanted to offer more to the travelling public. Our partnership with flyafrica.com delivers what we have always wanted: low fares and exceptional service. Travellers to Namibia have paid too much for too long and the launch
of Namibia flyafrica will change that,“ he was quoted in an earlier press release. Flyafrica.com will operate daily flights from Windhoek to Johannesburg from Monday 2 February 2015. Strydom told us the Cape Town flights would com-
mence a few weeks later, and by mid-2015, direct flights from Walvis Bay would hopefully bring welcome relief to flyers. Sales via flyafrica.com have commenced on 21 October 2014 and travel agency sales would follow soon after, according to the media release.

The Coastal Branch Organiser of the Namibia Food and Allied Workers Union (Nafau) who stands accused of corruptly using his office or position for gratification, appeared in the Swakopmund Magistrate’s Court yesterday and was granted bail of N$5 000. According to a highly reliable source the accused, Moses Veiko (31) represented employees of Schweizerhaus Café Anton, Swakopmund, in a salary increment negotiation, on behalf of
Nafau. The newspaper learned that workers at Café Anton approached their Union to negotiate for an 8.5 percent salary hike. Café Anton was apparently willing to offer an eight per-
cent increment. While negotiations were ongoing, Veiko supposedly approached the representative of Café Anton, asking her to convince the business’ management to pay him an amount of N$5
000, promising that he will then in return convince the workers to accept the eight percent increment. He afterwards raised the bar to N$7 000, believing that he has convinced her and the manageContinues on page 2

Johny Smith Portrait of an exceptional leader Liesl Losper
After the CEO of the Walvis Corridor Group (WBCG), Johny Smith, has been named by CEO Communications as the Continental winner in the sector of Logistics in October, the namib times wanted to share with him his vision as an acclaimed African leader. Smith, who was abroad, responded to our request for an interview, immediately after his return late yesterday afternoon. He has been focusing the past eight years in his role of CEO of the WBCG to develop Namibia through Walvis Bay as an alternative trade route for various SADC countries, cre-

ment. The Anti-Corruption Commission in Swakopmund was informed and a sting operation to set a trap for the accused, was arranged. Veiko allegedly communicated with the representative and they agreed on a rendezvous to “clinch” the deal. He requested for a cash cheque to be hand delivered at the agreed place in Mondesa, Swakopmund. The ACC apprehended the accused, while he was receiving the cheque. The newspaper contacted NAFAU’s deputy General Manager, Ms Wilma Angula, yesterday, but she noted that she was not aware of such a case, yet. The matter was postponed to 11 February 2015 for legal aid representation and further investigation.
A very worried and concerned parent contacted the namib times this week, claiming that his two children at Namib Primary School are being bullied and also that discipline is lacking at the particular school. The parent, who does not want to be named, in fear of victimisation of his two children, alleges that his
Grade 3 son was playing marbles with class mates on the school grounds during the week, when an argument broke out. The argument supposedly degenerated into a fight and escalated to a point where the concerned parent’s son was thrown onto rocks and beaten. According to the parent the other kid, who is in the same class as his son, proceeded to strangle the boy. “At that moment another child had to pull the kid off my son. My son is traumatised because of this and may have to see a doctor because his arm is injured. To what extent, I won’t know till we get confirmation from the doctor,” the parent commented. He further noted that he

understood the fact that kids, “at times need to fight their own battles, but where is the control and discipline at the school,” he asked. He alleged that that was one of many incidents that occurred at the school daily. “One of my colleges removed his kid from the same school, just after the first term of this year, because of bullying. Teachers and the principal can do nothing about it”. His other child (Grade 1) was apparently also beaten over his lunchpack, earlier this year, at the same school. “Bullying is rife at this school and I am not sure the headmaster can control the kids - I am seriously considering removing my children and looking for other schools,” the parent told the namib times. “I am uttering my dis-

may in the hope that other parents, who have been in this position, can take steps to protect their kids against this evil that no one can seem to resolve”, he appealed. The disgruntled father concluded by saying that the rich history of academic excellence of Namib Primary, was one of the reasons he brought his children there. The newspaper contacted the school’s principal, yesterday and when asked if she was aware of this incident, or of alleged bullying at the school, she demanded the parent’s name. The reporter informed her that he was not endorsed to reveal his source/s, whereafter she said that she would not give any comment and ended the call.

ating opportunities for the transport and logistics sector via Namibia and thereby growing the economic contribution of the sector. We posed several questions to the man who has been identified as Africa’s CEO of the Year, from thousands of nominations from Africa: You were chosen over almost 11 500 nominations from 43 African states, and the judges called you an informed leader with a non-traditional approach… what makes you thus? I believe in chasing opportunities - In Namibia we have a relatively small economy in the global world and therefore we have to go out to the regional and international market to draw people and companies to see the opportunities within Namibia. What was your big-
gest challenge in achieving this? The biggest challenge has been to convince the local industry in Namibia that we have an opportunity across the border, but also at the same time to convince importers and exporters in the region to use Namibia as an alternative, while the perception was there that at that time when we started, Walvis Bay was just known as a fishing port. Please share with us – who is your idol/the person/people who have inspired you/ you look up to as an example… I believe that I have an inner strength to be a successful person and saw an opportunity. I had some important people who supported me all the way and it has been GOD and my wife, as well as others. What is your vision, for yourself as leader,
and for your company? We must learn as leaders not to look just in the short term, but towards the long term - We also need to make sure that we as leaders are not making selfish decisions, but decisions that influence the economic development of our country. Smith said in the media release on his achievement, “This could not come at a more opportune time where Namibia has incorporated into its national development plan 4, to develop Namibia as a Logistics Hub for the SADC region. I feel very blessed and honoured to receive this award as recognition for exploring the trade opportunities for other coutries via Namibia during the past eight years at the Walvis Bay Corridor Group."

Chaos at NaTIS Piquet Jacobs and Madelaine Laubscher
Due to alleged disorderly behaviour at the Natis office involving frustrated customers waiting in lines for the roadworthy testing, Walvis Bay Municipal Traffic Chief, Eben Platt, was forced to close the doors recently to bring a halt to the erupting chaos. According to a private company employee, who was also waiting in the line, the situation was extremely chaotic. The situation apparently escalated to the point where customers had to swop staff members assigned to roadworthy tests, as a female staff member could no longer endure the chaos. Platt made the decision to close the roadworthy station during the course of the day. According to him it seemed like the only way to bring the situation under control. According to Platt, various customers in the queue did not behave fairly – he said it had prevented his staff members from doing their job. When the reporter visited the site on that
specific day, one of the customers remarked, “NaTIS makes enough money to hire more people which will result in the roadworthy testing process going faster. It cannot carry on like this. We stand here for hours and we are very frustrated. Something needs to change drastically”. A municipality spokesperson at the public relations department commented on this matter. “It was necessary to close the doors on that particular day to maintain order. Currently NaTIS officials go beyond the call of duty to accommodate the high influx of vehicles by testing up to 50 vehicles and trucks per day, as opposed to the prescribed limit of 30 vehicles per day. It is also necessary to
consider that the same officials that conduct the testing should also capture the information the same day so that licenses and vehicle registration can be issued the next day. It is essential to note that we take the delivery of this particular service very seriously, because all vehicles tested ultimately and directly involves the lives of pedestrians and drivers alike. It is thus crucial that testing officials are not disturbed while conducting tests on any vehicles. We therefore, call on those who come to have their vehicles tested, or for any other service at NaTIS, to remain in the queue, conduct themselves in an orderly manner and await their turn,” she concluded.

Jan Japan Motors’ future in question Madelaine Laubscher
The namib times has lately been informed on various occasions that a well-known car dealership, Jan Japan Motors, will allegedly either be closing its doors soon or will be changing owners. But, several Jan Japan Motors staff and management members have rejected the rumours, calling it malicious lies.
Frustrated vehicle owners queuing up at NaTIS
A trusted source informed the newspapers on different occasions that Jan Japan Motors, commonly just referred to as Jan Japan, would be closing its doors soon. “The company is closing down. I was informed that the Jan Japan vehicles would no longer be insured since the company was closing down and the warehouse would be handed over in December,” the source said. Several attempts to get hold of the owner of Jan Japan in Walvis Bay were fruitless as he is apparently out of the country. However, staff members and a branch member of the company spoke to us on his behalf, as he is out of the country at the moment. “This is a multi-million dollar company.
Fifty containers recently came in. It is impossible that the company is closing its doors,” a staff member of Jan Japan said. The reporter got hold of the manager of one of the branches in Walvis Bay (name known to the namib times, but withheld on request) who was also willing to comment on the matter. “The rumours being spread that the company is closing down are all mere lies,” he said. When he was informed that there were additional rumours about the company possibly changing ownership, he rejected that, too, as being utterly false. He said he could not understand why people would spread such rumours, but he could state cate-
gorically that it was untrue. “This company has been helping people to buy cheap cars. As far as I am concerned, the company is not closing down nor is it changing ownership,” he said. Jan Japan has branches all over the world and is known for the cheap cars it sells, which, according to sources, could have led to Jan Japan putting other car dealerships out of business. According to many, the company has only benefited people along the coast. Another staff member of the company contacted the newspaper to deliver her opinion regarding these rumours. “Before I became an employee at the company, I bought a car at Jan Japan. I can honestly say that this
company has only helped me as I would not have been able to buy a car if it was not for their cheap prices. I believe that the rumours are spread by people envious of the company and its success and that they therefore want the company to close down. However, from what I am aware, the company is not closing down nor is it changing ownership,” she said. The newspaper contacted another source who said, “I cannot give any valid information regarding this situation as I really do not know. All I’ve heard was that the company would be changing ownership, but that, too, can be only a rumour,” she concluded.

Members of the public alerted the namib times to look into this matter. The SPCA confirmed that the culprit – if and when identified - would definitely be charged with animal cruelty. The dog had two harnesses around its neck that was physically stuck to its flesh – one seemed to have been on the dog since it was a puppy and never taken off or adjusted. A second harness on the dog caused the dog’s nose to get stuck in the harness. The dog was freed from
the harnesses through surgical procedures. Good news is that the dog will survive the ordeal, and not be put down, the wounds being being serious but treatable. The volunteer kennel master said it was paramount for people to be educated on how to treat animals properly. “Animal cruelty is a reality in Walvis Bay. It happens on a daily basis and needs to be properly addressed through education and creating awareness,” he said.
A spokesperson of the SPCA urged anyone who might know anything about the dog, to contact the SPCA . “The person who caused this dog to end up with these wounds should be prosecuted. Such a person belongs in jail. We will protect the identity of anyone who has any information leading to the arrest of the culprit.” she said. According to the SPCA, members of the public have offered to give financial support with regard to the medical costs.
Phony police still at large
The Namibian Police are still searching for three suspects who robbed the Nando’s restaurant in Walvis Bay of more than N$40 000. In September, the Namibian Police Force (NamPol) Detective Inspector in Walvis Bay, John Mwatongwe reported that three men, wearing police uniforms, allegedly robbed the food outlet of N$40 440. On the day of the suspected robbery, the restaurant manager told the
police that the suspects approached him as uniformed police officers, but then pointed a gun at his face, handcuffed him and demanded money. The police have since been searching for the suspects, who have disappeared without a trace. On Wednesday, Mwa-
tongwe said there still have not been any arrests, and police investigations continue. He said so far, there has not been much progress because they do not have a strong lead, but they will continue to gather information which could lead to arrests. NAMPA

Duinesig mother and daughter tea In an attempt to reduce and eradicate teenage pregnancy after it has been identified as one of the major social problems within the Duinesig Combined School, a social worker intern student, Njomonee Tjihukununa, from the Ministry of Health and Social Services established a project called “The Crystal Rocks Girls”.
A style of her own Staff Reporter
On Wednesday night, local musician Madelaine Laubscher, performed at the Lemon Tree Deli in Walvis Bay, wowing the patrons with her acoustic performance. The Lemon Tree Deli has been growing in business, thus the owners, Belinda Burger and Donelia Esterhuizen, decided to invite local musicians to perform at the restaurant in order to promote them and to attract customers that take pleasure in listening to live music while enjoying their meal. They invited Madelaine after noticing her singing talent at a music festival that had recently been
held in Walvis Bay. According to her, the event was fun-filled and exciting and motivated her to perform more frequently. “The musicians performing at the deli are rewarded with ‘tips’ from the audience. I have to say that the evening was a success. The people really touched my heart. I am grateful for all the contributions that were given by them. Thank you very much. The crowd was really awesome. Thank you
to Belinda and Donelia for inviting me. I enjoy doing acoustic performances as I am able to make a song my own. It defines who I am and remains a personal challenge to always strive to im-
prove, and that is the pleasure behind it all. It feels good to take on a difficult song, to make it my own and to see the crowd enjoying it. I hope to only improve in my performances,” she concluded.
The project was aimed at educating the grade 8 girls on different topics that are related to teenage pregnancy namely: Self-esteem, Peer pressure, Teenage pregnancy, Contraceptives, Baby dumping, Academic performance & dreams, Communication & relationship with parents, house chores and Alcohol and drug abuse. The girls were educated on this topics through sessions that were conducted twice a week and thus to close off the project a mother and daughter “tea party” took place on 31 October at the Duinesig Combined School hall. The aim of the “tea party” was to discuss the importance of a mother and daughter relationship in our society so that social problems such as teenage pregnancy can be eradicated through open relationships where daughters
could feel free to talk to their mothers about anything and avoid seeking for advice from their peers. The theme of the tea party was “Be her role model”. Amongst the invited guests was the Mayor, school principal, life skills teachers, pastor, and social workers, girls accompanied by their mothers or guardians each. The event was opened with a powerful prayer by Prophet Gawanab a local pastor. It then proceeded with opening remarks by the Mayor where she narrated when they were growing up they were not privileged in those days and that children of today got many privileges and opportunities thus they needed to work hard and be successful one day. In her speech she also encouraged mothers to be there for their daughters. The school principal Ms Lucas encouraged
the girls to avoid bad friends and leave behind the things of the world and focus on their school and future. The highlight of the event was the powerful message that was given by Ms Mapalo, a local pastor's wife, who emphasised to the mothers to establish strong and close relationships with their daughters, she also touched on the role that tradition plays in our society as relationship and sex talk with our daughters seem to be very disrespectful as tradition would not let us. The event was concluded with a talk show which was a platform where the girls were posting questions to their parents and vice versa about issues they have and thoroughly discussed it with an input of the invited guests who were giving advice on a few mentioned issues during the talk show session.

MARINE NEWS
Albatros Task Force to the rescue Accidental deaths (known as incidental bycatch) resulting from commercial fishing operations constitute the major threat for many vulnerable populations of seabirds. As a result of a cooperative approach between industry, government and NGOs, new Namibian regulations are set to massively reduce this impact in the hake fisheries. Globally 300 000 seabirds are killed in longline and trawl fisheries where they are unintentionally hooked and drown on baited hooks, or are struck by trawl cables and dragged under water. Approximately 100 000 of these birds are albatross, the most threatened family of birds with 15 of 22 species at risk of extinction. The Albatross Task Force (ATF) is part of BirdLife International’s Marine Programme, and here it is implemented through the Namibia Nature Foundation (NNF).
The group works in the world’s global bycatch ‘hot spots’ with industry to introduce practical measures that, once in use, rapidly reduce the mortality of seabirds. The ATF has been working with the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources in Namibia since 2008. They have demonstrated that the combined levels of seabird mortality for hake longline and trawl fisheries is around 30 000 seabirds per year, which is one of the highest levels of mortality in the world. The good news is that the ATF has also demonstrated that the adoption of simple and cost-effective mitigation measures in both these fisheries could reduce mortality to negligible levels. In the trawl fleet the use of bird scaring lines

with streamers that flap in the wind and scare birds away from the dangerous areas of a vessel is a simple solution that practically eliminates seabird bycatch. In the longline fleet, this measure in combination with line weighting to sink the hooks away from foraging birds and paired bird scaring lines, should reduce bycatch by over 95%. The Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources has now taken a positive step toward reducing seabird bycatch in Namibia, by introducing new fishery regulations that
will require all trawl and longline vessels to use bird scaring lines, and for longline vessels to use improved line weighting. These new regulations are expected to be in effect as of the 1st November 2014 and will drastically reduce the impact of these two fisheries on vulnerable seabirds. The fishing industry in Namibia, led by local fishing companies, has been cooperative with the proposed conservation measures, with several companies already adopting voluntary use of the bird scaring lines. The introduction of
regulations will ensure the simple measures are adopted across the whole fleet. Namibia already has high levels of observer coverage in their fisheries, which means it will be easy to identify compliance with these new regulations. This provides an excellent example of how positive collaboration between conservation organisations, local government and responsible industry associations can make a huge contribution to sustaining global biodiversity and reducing our impact on the marine environment.
Obtaining Fishing
Permits
Obtain a permit from the Namibian Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources (MFMR) to catch fish or dive for crayfish and respect harvesting limitations. WHY? The marine resources are limited and currently some of them are overfished or over collected. It is necessary that everybody uses them wisely and carefully to secure the future harvesting needs by protecting the stock. Quantity/number of marine resources harvestable, minimum size limits of fish and crayfish that can be caught, open season etc. help to manage stocks to avoid the total disappearance of some species in our waters. Do not leave bait or fish on the beach! Either take it home or return it to the sea. This food attracts scavengers like jackals and gulls that prey on other bio-diversity. When you are back home after the holiday, it also inflates the predator population. Where can you get a license for angling, crayfish diving & bait/mussels collection?

Loslitdag-uitstappie groot pret
Madelaine Laubscher
Huis Palms in Walvisbaai se bejaardes het verlede week hul litte los gestap op ’n uitstappie ter viering van Loslit-dag.
Me Winnie Lubbe van Huis Palms het aan die namib times gesê die dag was ‘n groot sukses. “Die dag was vol pret en plesier. Ons het met ‘n ‘blikskud’-stapsessie begin. Daarna is ons bederf met heerlike kolwyntjies, geborg deur KLD Ship’s Agency. Dié uitstappie is gelei deur die Munisipaliteit se Verkeersdepartement, die St Gabriel Ambulansdiens, asook die Malherbe-dames. Lubbe het’n spesiale
woord van dank gerig aan DF Malherbe se dames, die verkeersdepartement, St Gabriel Ambulansdiens, Carlos Fernandes van Trust Market vir die koeldrank en verversings, en ‘n kontantskenking deur Dolphin Elementary School. Sy het ook alle lede van die publiek bedank wat saamgestap het, gehelp blikkieskud het, en ook almal wat met die organisering van die dag gehelp het.

“Namibian drivers are impatient”
Sharlien Tjambari
The Erongo Regional Road Safety Forum (ERRSF) mini conference took place on Wednesday, 5 November at Rossmund Golf Course near Swakopmund. During her introductory remarks, the chairperson of ERRSF Ms Natalia/Goagoses said it is supported by the National Road Safety Council of Namibia, “the first attempt is to try and see how we can reduce road accidents and tackle road safety issues” she said. ERRSF want to declare zero road accident deaths in the Erongo Region. The keynote speaker at this event was the Governor of Erongo Region Mr Cleophas Mutjavikua. The governor said he is worried about the future of Namibia as our country is known for tourist attractions and if we have
so many accidents on our roads, tourists will not come to our country anymore he noted. “A Namibian driver is the most impatient driver in the world and I want analysts to look at it and give me feedback on why Namibian drivers are so impatient” the Governor said. According to him the attitude of the drivers is the main cause of accidents on the roads. He also stated that it is proven that the number of tourists in Walvis Bay and Swakopmund will be double the number of last year this festive season and he is very worried about the traffic con-
gestion on the roads. Mr Haroldt Geiseb, the Director of Road Traffic Management Services said road safety will be taught in Namibian schools from Grade one to three next year. Senior Primary Syllabus for grade four to seven are received and approved by NIED ( Ministry of Education) and will be implemented in 2016. He also said the learners will be taught safety near roads, road signs, the law, community road safety and traffic calming measures. Mr Geiseb said that children should be influenced on road safety from a tender age.

Liefie Liefie wil net aan al die spyseniers noem, veral diegene wat die “corporate” funksies se tenders kry, dat die publiek glad nie beïndruk is met die gehalte diens wat gelewer is nie. Liefie was die naweek in die teenwoordigheid van ander spyseniers wat self nie baie "happy" is nie, want hulle name word krater gemaak deur dies wat dink hulle kan en wel nie kan nie. Dis nou ‘n taai een. Maar onthou tog vir die toekoms, as jy 10 mense tuis kan onthaal, maak jou nie ‘n gesoute “caterer” nie. Pasop, moenie julle vingers verbrand nie.
Liefie hoor toe ook in dieselfde asem van ‘n oulike jong kelnerin (jonger as 10 jaar oud) wat by ‘n bekende kuierplek langs die see ys aandra en sommer ‘n paar blikkies ook vang.
Aarde, kan julle nou meer. As julle julle skuldig maak daaraan om julle kinders saam te sleep na kuierplekke toe, moet julle nie later spyt wees as dit boemerang nie.

Passport Backlog cleared The Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration eliminated a backlog of about 3 000 passport applications within the first month of implementing its turn-around strategy. The N$126 million turn-around strategy, which has proven to be quite successful, was launched in May 2014 with the aim of improving operations at the ministry. The objective of the project was to ensure the shortest possible issuing time for key documents such as identification documents (IDs), passports as well as birth, marriage and death certificates. The project is conducted by consultants from South Africa’s FeverTree Consulting Company.
At a media conference held here yesterday to celebrate 100 days of the turn-around strategy, the Minister of Home Affairs and Immigration Pendukeni Iivula-Ithana said the entire backlog was eliminated because employees were working overtime and adhering to strict performance targets. The first phase of the project focused on three key areas - front offices appearance, passports and ID production. (NAMPA)

MEDIA STATEMENT
POWER OUTAGE TO WALVIS BAY - SUNDAY, 9 NOVEMBER 2014
POWER OUTAGE NOTICE OF POWER OUTAGE TO WALVIS BAY TOWN AND RUBY SUBSTATION Notice is hereby given that the electricity supply will be interrupted on the following date: DATE: DAY: TIME:
09 November 2014 Sunday 10:00 – 18:00
The power outage will affect the power supply to the following areas. Should reserve capacity be available, priority will be given to areas marked with stars (*): Hermes MTC/TN Mobile / Telecom Meersig CBD Area *** Kuisebmund * Narraville * Long Beach *
This outage has mainly been reserved for NamPower to conduct final testing and operation of the Anixas- and Paratus Generation Stations together with the main electricity grid. The objective is to resolve all outstanding matters to ensure that the Generation and Grid could be operated in future with high confidence levels without any operation malfunction. Erongo RED and NamPower had several discussions to identify all possible risks during this outage and formulated required action plans to ensure the power to the entire town will be fully restored within the specified time. Additional personnel will also be on site to coordinate at all levels. During the next two years many planned outages could be expected to accommodate the Walvis Bay upgrade which will bring a very reliable and secure supply to the town. One should comprehend the technical complexity and the difficulty during this migration to the new infrastructure. Erongo RED is carefully planning future requirements to limit the number of outages to an absolute minimum to reduce the overall impact to all customers. This will be the last planned outage for the entire Walvis Bay for 2014. No further planned outages will be scheduled and the next outage could only be expected towards the end of January 2015.
Power to the following areas will be prioritised. Interruptions will occur from time to time during this outage, but effort will be made to supply these areas during the 8 hour outage: Heavy industrial Area Namport Rooibank- Namwater Rooikop - NDF Walvis Bay Airport
During this outage on Sunday 9 November, 18 Mega Watt will be available which will be reserved for the Industrial area. Should surplus capacity be available, priority will be given to the CBD areas. Further surplus capacity will then be given to the residential areas that were most affected by the previous outage on 24 September, being Kuisebmund, Narraville and Longbeach. It should be noted that the electricity network cannot always be operated to control suburbs individually. Hence, the operation of the larger network will at all times be considered and small parts of residential area might be on during this outage.
PLEASE NOTE: YOUR INSTALLATION SHOULD BE REGARDED AS “LIVE” AT ALL TIMES AS THE POWER SUPPLY MAY BE SWITCHED ON AT ANY TIME DURING THE ABOVEMENTIONED PERIOD.

The Erongo RED Call Centre will be operated during this time to provide updates from time to time. Erongo RED regrets any inconvenience which may result from this outage and would like to ensure that the interests of all customers are considered at all times.

Keepers of Equilibria Piquet Jacobs Noreen Arangies has launched her first fantasy novel. The Keepers of Equilibria, published by Wordweaver Publishing House, is aimed at children aged 10 and up, but can be enjoyed by adults as it explores environmental issues, as well as how diversity can actually be a strength. It is a fast-paced, fun book, with interesting characters and unique situations. Arangies is passionate
about the importance for children to develop a love of reading, and how she said local publishing and stories can play their part in achieving this goal. Her first book, “The Most Important Book,” was published in 2012 and won a gold award at the Namibia Children’s Book Forum. Arangies writes books for children and young teenagers.
She uses creative and descriptive writing to educate young developing minds. Having a keen imaginative intellect, Noreen was inspired to write children’s books after the birth of her son. Viewing children as humanity’s future and main responsibility, she focuses on moral values, choices and accountability, while

the specific contribution of Jews to the economic, cultural and educational developments in SWA/ Namibia. Important Jewish families are covered in yet another section. The book is finally rounded off with a chapter one could call ‘loose ends’: Jewish graves, diverse articles on topics of Jew-
ish interest published over the decades, et al. A glossary and different indexes help to access the book’s wealth of fact and knowledge. The book is available in Namibia at OrumbondeBooks in Tal Street (Namibia Craft Centre) or to be ordered through orumbonde@mtcmobile. com.na

Property in Perspective
VACANCY
THE BIRTH OF “RENTVESTORS”. When times get tough, it is fascinating to see how innovative thinking “kicks in” to find alternative solutions. Likewise, it is common knowledge that the younger generations of today find it difficult to purchase property at prices they can ill afford from their lower based monthly income levels. In many cases, the assistance from parents, friends or family members renders rescue to enable the young adolescents an opportunity to own their first property. However, not everybody is that fortunate which cause a growing generation of property renters not seeing light to become property owners and perhaps believe “buying property only starts at 40”. But it seems a new group of rental home owners is here; the firsthome buying investor. This phenomena is shaped through creative thinking to gain an entry into the property market. Therefore, the stereotypical image of landlords being grey-haired owners of massive property portfolios is busy changing through the “birth” of – and being dubbed “Rentvestors” – i.e. buying property with the aim to rent it out and thereby secure payment of a larger portion if not all of the monthly bond repayments. Obviously the annual escalations of rent could soon, not only break even with the bond instalments but even exceed it and on the flip-side, the property generally also appreciates in value over time (a two sided win scenario). Surprising and unlike popular believe this new group is made up of single persons or couples who either keep renting where they are (normally at a lower figure than a bond instalment) or reside with their parents for an extended period to achieve their objectives in becoming first-time property owners. To this end, if you're part of this “emerging” group looking to buy your very first home there's a lot on your mind. Here's a brief synopsis to remind you of some of the factors you should be considering. Some of the more important issues include location, price, amenities, changing needs, reading the market, and the question of buying new, renovated or un-renovated. If you're falling in love with a property, it's time to stop and think about these bigger picture questions. Location: The most important thing to consider so far as location is concerned is proximity to the things that matter most in your life – your job, friends, family and places you visit regularly – remember you might want to stay there yourselves in future. Price: The basic premise is to buy the best house you can afford. If you can afford it today, it should be even easier in the future as your income increases (assuming interest rates remain fairly stable). The best way to calculate what you can afford is to approach your bank and find out what they can do for you. At the same time, get a second opinion by asking an Estate Agency to find you a good deal. It's a competitive market and there's lots of great options out there if you ask around and do your homework. Amenities: Consider that in future you might want to stay there or, if possibly consider to sell in time to come the following proximities are generally plus factors such as shops, schools, hospitals, etc. Changing needs: If you've found the perfect location and don't imagine moving for a long time, consider whether you can accommodate the changes in life. Is there a room to extend, put in another bedroom, living area, bathroom? If you're planning kids, is there enough room for them to play and grow? Is there car parking for more than one car? Is a unit sufficient or will you need to buy a house with some land? While it's impossible to know everything that life will serve up, it's important to think about how your first home will fit into your future hopes and plans, especially if you've found one that's a keeper. New, renovated or un-renovated? There's no right or wrong answer on this one. It boils down to your budget, tastes, ambitions and tolerance for things like repairs. If you're looking to buy a new home and don't have unlimited funds, this generally means you'll be buying a new house on the outskirts of the metropolitan area or a small apartment in the city. An un-renovated property provides opportunity to add value in the short term – but be honest about your DIY skills. It will be advantageous for Developers to take cognisance of this new group of “Rentvestors” and to cater for the opportunities at hand! Should you require

while the 4 man entries went even quicker – a staggering 6 seconds for them to be sold out and the online registration to be closed.” Ingrid Goeieman, Manager of Donations and Sponsorships at FNB Namibia said the bank was overwhelmed with the enthusiasm shown by local and international riders. “This is the 8th year that we are the title sponsor and the 10th anniversary that this magnificent tour takes place - through some of the most beautiful scenery Namibia has to offer.” Goeieman went on to say that this year a number of
changes have been made – based on feedback from participants, organisers and experience. “Every year we try to make it bigger, better and more fun and this year we have thus increased our financial involvement in 2014.” De Lange confirmed that the prize platform has been increased and the cash prize money alone now stands at N$220 000. “There is also a change in route for the last 46km stage and a new coastal venue for the Pupkewitz-Nissan Finish Zone. We look forward to lots of action and a fun-filled tour for all parties involved.”

The 8&U, 10&U, 12&U and 14&U teams from the Coastal Pirates club, under the national coach, Brian Sobel, took the

gold medals in all of these junior divisions! These teams have played exceptionally well all season with the first three teams remaining unbeaten in league matches all year and showing a clear lead against their competitors in league standings for 2014. The dynamic 16&U
Scorpions team took the gold medal in this division. The 18&U final between the Cazadores and Scorpions clubs was definitely one of the tournament highlights. This game had the crowds on the edge of their seats. The matching skills of these two teams brought the game
into extended overtime, the deciding golden goal making the final score 5:4 to the Cazadores team from Windhoek, coached by Bryan Robbins. The Ladies finals took place between the Kamikaze and Scorpions teams. The majority of these players were part

of the Namibian Junior Ladies team that competed in the FIRS World Championships in France in June. The Scorpions Ladies team, coached by Zach Sawyer, managed to snatch gold away from Kamikaze. The final Open game, where the top players in
inline hockey competed against one another, saw Coastal Pirates win gold against Badgers. This match was an absolute pleasure to watch as most of these players were also part of the Namibian inline hockey team. The Ladies Masters division showed great per-

Die Walvisbaai Boksklub fokus die afgelope twee jaar daarop om jong kinders van Kuisebmond van Maandag tot Saterdag konstruktief besig te hou. Die aanleer van dissipline is ‘n belangrike aspek waaraan baie aandag bestee word.

Ronaldo Julie en Lukas Nghikembwa, alias German, is die stukrag agter die boksklub. Skoliere van graad 1 tot matriek kry boksopleiding. Die klub word teen ‘n baie lae onderhoudskoste bedryf. Die klubbestuurders sê Rodger Van Wyk, (The Fish Trader), James Julie (Julie Auto Electric) en Freddie Liich (Impala Transport) se borgskappe en bydraes het dit moontlik
gemaak dat die klub sedert sy ontstaan kon groei. Die Walvibaai-munisipaliteit se goedgunstige beskikbaarstelling van die perseel, beteken ook vir hulle geweldig baie. Die klub het die afgelope week sy eerste kampioenskappe gehad waar boksers teen ander genooide klubs kon meeding. Klubs van Uis en Walvisbaai het meegeding in dié kampioenskap.
Nóg klubs wat genooi was, kon egter nie die keer deelneem nie, weens problem soos ‘n gebrek aan akkommodasie. Die kampioenskappe word egter steeds as ‘n groot sukses bestempel – en die plaaslike klub het die beste prestasie gelewer. Frans Valombola is as die beste bokser aangewys. Ander boksers wat hulle slag en vaardighede gewys het, was onder andere, Max

Die klub sê hy sal nog borgskappe baie waardeer, veral die skenking van toerusting sal hoog op prys gestel word, sodat hy sy droom, om die jonges in die gemeenskap op te hef en positief te rig, kan verwesenlik.
