Shoprite werkers eis bestuurder se kop

supplement

Marshallino Beukes

Werknemers van Shoprite in Swakopmund het gister tydens ‘n demonstrasie en petisie oorhandiging te kenne gegee dat hul bestuurder, mnr Collen Christoph, binne 24 uur sy kantoor moet ontruim.

Hierdie wending volg nadat die bestuurder blykbaar een van die werknemers rondgestoot het. Volgens die werknemers is dit nie die eerste keer dat hul bestuurder hardhandig teenoor werknemers optree nie.

Christoph is blykbaar ook geneig om vuil taal en beledigende woorde na die werkers te slinger.

Volgens die petisie wat deur die werkers en hul werkersunie, NAFAU, oorhandig is, is die kwessie alreeds onder die aandag van die top-

bestuur gebring, maar slegs ‘n geskrewe waarskuwing is blykbaar aan Christoph gegee.

Die hoofbestuur word ook daarvan beskuldig dat hulle nie die maatskappy se dissiplinêre prosedure gevolg het nie, maar verkies het om by hul oorspronklike beslissing te staan.

Hierdie beslissing is blykbaar alreeds 25 April vanjaar deur die werkers teengestaan. In ‘n vorige geval het ‘n voormalige werknemer, Johannes Meniger, blykbaar sy hu-

Residents mobilise against dangerous facility Otis Finck

Walvis Bay residents have established a concerned group (WBCG) to oppose the proposed establishment of a dangerous goods storage facility by Native Holdings at the former Navy Communications bunker situated on the outskirts of the town.

Walvis Bay Municipal Environmental Officer David Ushona dispelled rumours doing the rounds that Council had already given official approval for the project to go ahead. “There is no such thing. Council had a meeting with the proponent to clarify certain issues last week Wednes-

WE

day. Members of the Army and the Navy also sat in. The Walvis Bay Municipal Town Planner Hilia Hithula has been tasked to draft a letter containing the views of the various council departments. The completed letter will be approved and signed by the CEO Mr Haingura for

the attention of Native Holdings. Council previously expressed support for the idea but not for the proposed location,” he concluded.

Hithula was not available for comment at the time of going to press.

In the meantime the WBCG have drafted an urgent request for a

meeting (possibly on Tuesday next week) with the Mayor and her councillors to discuss the issue and handed it over on Wednesday. According to WBCG spokesperson Mr Stan Bouman indications are that the town planner apparently ok’d the request from Native Holdings to be allocated the

bunker for the envisaged dangerous goods facility to be established. “We cannot simply sit back and allow these plans to materialise. We must mobilise in order to prevent such a facility becoming a reality on our doorsteps and will avail more information about the proposed action we will em-

bark on via the media, in due course” he said and called on the community to sign the petition (more than 200 signatures have already been obtained) doing the rounds. Those who sign the petition are concerned residents who urge Namibian leaders to act to challenge the handling, transport and stor-

age of various kinds and types of dangerous goods and hazardous materials as well as radioactive and nuclear material by the entity styled as Native Holdings.

The WBCG further alleges in the petition that the owners of Native Holdings already violated the principles of trust in that they failed to fully disclose their real intentions and plans and thus intentionally or by default brought the Municipal Council under false impressions about the exact nature, scope and context of their intended business plans by only revealing their intensions at the eleventh hour. According to the group these events portrayed the Municipality in a seriously bad light and also questions the seriousness, transparency and possible hidden agendas of the proponents.

The group also demands via the petition that all applicable laws, rules and regulations of Walvis Bay, the Republic of Namibia and all international laws, conventions, treaties and protocols be applied and enforced without fear of favour in respect of the production, processing, handling, use, holding storage, transport and disposal of dangerous goods and hazardous materials including explosives and all forms of nuclear material.

They further expressed their uneasiness with plans by Native Holdings to handle, transport and store various kinds of dangerous goods, hazardous materials as well as radioactive and nuclear material on one premises and in one building within the existing boundaries of a residential area and said that this violates the Namibian Constitution and all the laws pertaining to the matter.

“We demand that Namibia fulfil its international obligations and Constitutional requirements to ensure and assure its citizens that no toxic or nuclear waste would be imported or allowed to be imported and transferred though Namibian territory under the cover of recycling knowing that the real purpose of such imports or transfers are

to use Namibia as a dumping ground for toxic and radioactive waste.

The group was formed after a consultative meeting in Narraville between EnviroSolutions and community members about the establishment of the envisaged storage facility in May. Its members is in the process of organising a petition to be handed over to relevant authorities and a peaceful protest march to voice their objection about the proposed plan to establish a dangerous goods storage facility within the next two weeks.

Namport Chief Executive Officer Bisey/Uirab addressed the media in Walvis Bay on Tuesday 27 May and dispelled radioactive waste fears concerning the handling and storage of dangerous goods by the company in response to several media reports and inquiries which alleged that Namport were engaged in the illegal handling and storage of dangerous goods such as radioactive material, spent nuclear cartridges, plutonium and explosives.

According to him Namport was inundated with calls concerning the handling and storage of dangerous goods following a much publicised public meeting, held by EnviroSolutions on behalf of Native Venture Holdings after a managing member of the company, Mr Thomas Jonas, caused a furore when he said he had done his homework and discovered that dangerous goods are currently stored at various non compliant locations within the harbour area and surrounding warehouse facilities before being dispatched to their final destinations.

It is common knowledge that huge quantities of ammonium nitrate are used by the mining industry.

Namport has only landed one such cargo in the past and most consignments currently arrive by road.

According to a source the quantity of ammonium nitrate needed is set to increase manifold due to the large scale of mining operations at Husab mine.

Mayor responds to uncertainty over N$13 million tender Jade McClune

"I don’t want any funny business on my watch," says Mayor Kambueshe. He was speaking in response to questions about the recent proposal by the municipal management committee to extend an existing contract for installing residential infrastructure without following normal tender board procedures.

The proposed enlargement of Strydo’s Construction N$26 million dollar contract (for the installation of bulk services to the north of Mondesa, Swakopmund) by an additional N$13 million component for secondary services has come under the microscope since the namib times reported on the matter on 13 June.

The Mayor of Swakopmund, Cllr Juuso Kambueshe responded yesterday to an article, headlined ‘Council to extend Strydo’s N$26 million contract’, to clarify that the proposal tabled by the management committee for Council to add a new contract for the installation of secondary services to Strydo’s existing contract, was turned down by the Council.

“There must be no misunderstanding. We referred the matter back to the Municipal Tender Board.

As a matter of law, all procurement above a certain amount (typically N$50 000) has to go through the lawful tender procedure.”

He said there is a reason Council decided several years ago to remove all councillors from the Tender Board to remove the potential for conflict of interest.

“There is a very clear procedure to be followed in such tenders. I will not allow any funny business on my watch. I’m keeping an eagle-eye on the situation,” Kambueshe said.

the existing contractor which is providing bulk earthworks services, has “the competencies to deliver on the installation of secondary services.”

Mr Gert Strydom of Strydo Construction confirmed yesterday that there had been a meeting between him and the municipality regarding the issue and he was of the view that possibly “someone made an error” in the application.

He could not confirm whether the Tender Board had made a decision on the extension of the contract.

Strydo specialises in civil construction including, water and sewer reticulation, road building, mass earthworks, structural and mass concrete works and has also been contracted to tackle the problem of overflowing sewers in Mondesa.

Strydom said yesterday that they have been successful in unblocking and fixing the long-standing problem and implored the media to also report on the positive work they do.

He said Strydo is a local firm, not Lüderitz-based as was previously reported, and that they have local offices in Swakopmund and Henties Bay; all their vehicles are registered locally: “I am born here, we live here and our business is based here, so it is not as if we are coming from elsewhere to take business away,” Mr Strydom emphasised.

“We are regarded as the leaders in administration among all the local authorities.

We are accountable to the public.

It would be unacceptable if Council let such a serious issue pass unnoticed.

I want to assure the public and business community that a tender will have to be called. That is what I expect, because there is no legal basis for just extending the contract.”

It could not yet be confirmed whether the Tender Board has discussed or taken a decision on the proposed contract extension, but municipal sources, who are privy to the details suggest the proposal was turned down.

It is expected that the matter will surface again at the next Council meeting scheduled for Thursday 26 June. Members of the public are invited to attend.

He pointed out that the funds (N$13 million) for the contract were requested in January already and asked “why was the contract not out to tender then already?”

At the last meeting in May, Kambueshe had also opposed the proposal.

Since the publication of the report, he has been inundated with calls from companies demanding an equal opportunity to tender for the same contract.

“I don’t want anyone to think that my office is implicated in irregularities,” he said. “At Swakopmund Municipality we conduct our business according to the regulations. So I’m expecting the tender to be called. I want you to clarify to the readers that I am watching this matter very closely,” he said, taking a distance from the recommendation of the committee.

“The reason the recommendation was turned down is that Council simply does not have the legal authority to approve such contracts, he said. The contract will have to be put out on tender, he said, even if it takes three months to come to fruition, because it is a large amount of public money involved and the correct procedure must be followed”.

He also noted that different components of land development and servicing of erven require different sets of competencies, and he is not convinced that

Help streams in for latest shack fire victims Namsov supports fire victims

Madelaine Laubscher

The Namsov Community Trust joined the community of sympathisers who came forward with material assistance for the recent shack fire victims and donated school uniforms to 30 children and identified essentials worth more than N$200 000 on Monday.

According to the Chief Sustainability Officer at Namsov, Mrs Tuna Willem, the fires in Kuisebmond, which left more than 100 people homeless, prompted the company to play its part as a responsible corporate citizen. “Sustainability is not a one man show, nor does it stop at a cheque handover. We are required to mobilise our resources in the form of money, human capital and networks amongst others to bring support to our community.

To effectively change the world we live in, we are to repeat this exercise with innovation and practical methods. The commitment of Namsov Fishing Enterprises, through the Namsov Community Trust, which is a 10% shareholder in Namsov, is to ensure that the value that we harvest from Horse

Mackerel benefits Namibians from all walks of life.

We give, we build and we care,” she said. The Trust donated school uniform shirts, trousers, shoes, socks jerseys, skirts, school bags and blankets. They also donated stationery. “We also decided to donate food, hygiene packs and toiletries to all the households, Willem added. The total contribution to the community since 1991 is approximately N$15 million. The distribution was conducted via the office of the Mayor and in consultation with the Erongo Regional Governor's office. Present at the handover ceremony were officials from the Office of the Mayor of Walvis Bay, Namsov Fishing Enterprises staff, Namsov Community Trust staff members, learners from Duinesig High and the Walvis Bay Fire Brigade.

Young Africans graduate

Young Africa students showing off their certificates Mavourlene Gaes

Eleven students who took part in the Young Africa Trust Course in Installation and Maintenance of Photovoltaic Systems (Level I), graduated last Friday in Kuisebmond.

Initially 14 students enrolled for the course but three dropped out, citing personal circumstances. Three of the 11 graduates graduated with distinction.

The long hours of sunshine that characterises the Namibian weather and its intensity are ideal for solar energy.

The three month course which commenced in March was aimed at teaching the youth about solar power by giving them the necessary skills that they will need in both life skills and

entrepreneurship.

The Young Africa students are now equipped with basic knowledge of and skills in photovoltaic systems, suitable for a supervised position with a dealer/ installer or other PV industry company.

The demand for solar power keeps growing with the shortage of traditional non-sustainable energy sources and the spiralling fuel and electricity prices.

ing to underprivileged youth in the installation and maintenance of solar panels.

Councillor for the Walvis Bay rural constituency John Nangolo spoke at the ceremony and described solar power as affordable.

He also encouraged the students to make use of the knowledge that they gained during training by going out and giving assistance where needed.

He added that although solar power systems are bought by many

Namibians, the majority of people do not know how to connect the system.

“If you keep your knowledge to yourself, nobody will know. Our country is depending on you and your understanding” Nangolo concluded.

Young Africa is a group of local Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs), with establishments in Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Namibia with the umbrella foundation in the Netherlands.

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.

NSS is the only fully Namibian owned company, which specialises in the handling of cargo at the port of Walvis Bay. In his welcome speech the Managing Director of NSS Willem Derks, thanked the guests for joining in the celebration and described the event as a milestone.

Governor of the Erongo region Mr Cleophas Mutjavikua said NSS’s services at the port are one of the critical components of port operations.

He said with the expansion of the port, the company’s role becomes more demanding and must match

the demands of the port expansion. He urged the company to ensure that decent workers accommodation is made a priority to save them becoming victims of the rampant shack fires.

He urged Namport to be critical of companies getting operating licenses and ensure that those awarded licenses meet the minimum requirement.

“Lets look for best practices because we are now a global port. Let me congratulate you for the good work that you are doing.

That you have not had fatalities means you are do-

ing your job professionally,” the Governor noted.

Finance Director Robert De Villiers acknowledged the loyalty to the company of the employees who received long service awards for being with the company for ten years and serving with dignity, integrity and honesty.

De Villiers congratulated Namport’s chief executive officer, Bisey Uirab on his reappointment as CEO of Namport, and the Walvis Bay Corridor Group for the transport networks and marketing of the port internationally and its role as NSS Managing Director Willem Derks part of the logistics chain. speaking at the 10 year celebration

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?

A night Noah in Walvis of poetry

7

Trevor Noah (born 20 February 1984) is a South African comedian. He has also been a radio DJ, actor and TV host. Trevor Noah was born to a (White European) Swiss father and (Black African) South African (Xhosa) mother.

The Walvis Bay library will host a night of poetry at the library hall on Thursday evening 3 July.

The library aims to promote and enhance the public’s appreciation of literature through developing greater visibility for poetry and improve the public’s access to poetry through acquisitions, displays of poetry books, to create a visible presence for the art, live readings and poetry competition services to adults, young adults and children.

Night of poetry is open to everyone and the public is invited to come and read their own poems from their favourite poets.

Some of the books

that will be available for reading that night, will include the books of fallen legends Maya Angelou and Hans Daniel Namuhuja.

According to Cheryl Fortuin, the Head of Walvis Bay Library Services the initiative helps to encourage children to read, write and listen to poems from a very early age.

She added that due to its brevity and memorability, poetry is the most accessible literary form for all reluctant readers, despite its wider image as a neglected and difficult genre.

His mixed-race heritage, his experiences growing up in the Soweto township, and his observations about race and ethnicity are leading themes in his comedy.

Noah had a small role on the South African soap opera, Isi-dingo in 2002, when he was 18. He then began hosting his own radio show, Noah’s Ark, on Gauteng’s leading youth radio station, YFM. Noah then went on to host an educational program Run The Adventure from 2004-2006 on SABC2. In 2007 he hosted The Real Goboza, a gossip show on SABC1, and Siyadlala a SABC’s sports show. In 2008 Noah cohosted alongside Pabi Moloi The Amazing Date (dating game-show) and was on Strictly Come Dancing Season 4.

In 2009 he hosted the 3rd Annual South Africa Film and Television Awards (SAFTA Awards) and cohosted alongside Eugene Khoza The Axe Sweet Life (reality competition series) at the 15th annual South African Music Awards.

In 2010 Noah hosted the 16th annual South African Music Awards and also hosted Tonight with Trevor Noah on MNet (in the second season it moved

to DStv’s Mzansi Magic Channel).

In 2010, Noah also became a spokesperson and consumer protection agent for Cell C, South Africa’s third largest cellular provider. Noah dropped his radio show and acting to focus on comedy, and has performed with South African comedians such as Riaad Moosa, Darren Simpson, Marc Lottering, Barry Hilton and Nik Rabinowitz, international comedians such as Paul Rodriguez, Carl Barron and Paul Zerdin, and as the opening act for Gabriel Iglesias in November 2007 and Canadian comedian Russell Peters on his South African tour.

Noah has performed all over South Africa in The Blacks Only Comedy Show, Heavyweight Comedy Jam, the Vodacom Campus Comedy Tour, the Cape Town International Comedy Festival, the Jozi Comedy Festival, and Bafunny Bafunny (2010). His standup comedy specials in South Africa include The Daywalker (2009), Crazy Normal (2011), That’s Racist (2012), and It’s My Culture (2013).

On 6 January 2012 Noah became the first South African stand-up comedian

Liefie

Sy vertel ook gretiglik van die spesiale dienste wat teen ‘n koste van N$600 per uur se plesier by die oord beskikbaar is op haar ipad en begelei belangstelledes na die oord.

Meisies vertrap mans glo verskriklik by die oord en die ouens kom van regoor Namibia om hulle geld te blaas op die “special treatment” wat daar bekombaar is. Hulle verhaal die fondse dan glo weer van hulle mediese skemas wat voorsiening maak vir dinge soos masserings en ‘n fisioterapeut.

Met al die vreemde gesigte op die dorp het Liefie besluit om ‘n bietjie

to appear on The Tonight Show and on 17 May 2013, he became the first to appear on Late Show with David Letterman.

Noah was the subject of the 2012 documentary You Laugh But It’s True. The same year he starred in the one-man comedy

show Trevor Noah: The Racist which was based on his similarly titled South African special, That’s Racist. In 2013 he performed the comedy special Trevor Noah: African American. On 11 October 2013 he was a guest on BBC Two’s comedy panel

show QI. On 29 November 2013 he was a panelist on Channel 4 game show 8 out of 10 Cats. Four lucky readers can win tickets for Trevor’s show in Walvis Bay on Wednesday. Just go and share the post about the show on the namib times Facebook page.

Liefie hoor daar is ‘n Sjinese plesieroord op die dorp. ‘n Agent van die oord besoek omliggende nagklubs en wys vir kliënte ‘n katalogus met fotos van die plesierige produkte.

Japannees aan te leer. So sê ‘n ma glo vir haar kind in Japan om die hond te gaan haal. Ma: “Suzuki!”

Kind: “Jamaha”.

Ma: “ Kawasaki Ford Honda” ‘n Ou het hom glo ‘n rukkie gelede boeglam geskrik en homself sommer in ‘n koma gehou toe sy vrou en sy minnares gelyktydig by die hospitaal opdaag nadat hy opgeneem was vir behandeling.

Beide wou vir hom mondtot-mond-asemhaling kom toepas in sy siekbed om sy herstel te bespoedig maar dit blyk nou dat hulle teenwoordigheid daar meer skade as gene-

sing vir hom, sowel as vir hulle bewerkstellig het.

Beide sy geliefde besoekers asook die hospitaal personeel kon glo nie daarin slaag om hom wakker te kry in hulle teenwoordighied nie. Na verskeie mislukte pogins het hy glo wonderbaarlik herstel van die “Kul jou hier kul jou daar sindroom” en onverklaarbaar uit sy diep koma ontwaak die oomblik toe die twee dames die hospitaal verlaat het. ‘n Plekkie in die begraafplaas is groot in aanvraag.

Mense gaan dood om ‘n rusplek daar te bekom.

Gerugte doen deesdae die rondte dat dit deesdae

die norm is vir sommige mense se begrafnisse om noodgedwonge op die einde van die maand gehou te moet word as gevolg van stygende kostes en ‘n gebrek aan die nodige fondse, en dan moet die begrafnisgangers daarna nog eet en drink ook.

Die polisie reageer glo nie op versoeke van jan publiek om hulle te help met die oopmaak van sake nie. Gerugte doen eweneens die rondte dat die geregsdienaars sit en slaap agter die toonbank.

“Hulle gee lang gape wanneer ‘n mens daar instap en stel nie belang om te help nie. Toe ek daar

aankom moes ek eers skreeu om die geregsdienaar uit sy diepe slaap te laat ontwaak.

Ek wou ‘n ‘video clip’ van die petalje maak met my foon en is toe onmiddellik gedreig dat ek toegesluit sal word,” het iemand vir Liefie laat weet.

Lyk vir Liefie dat dit ‘n siekte is onder die ouens wat ons almal moet veilig hou.

Op Langstrand slaan die veiligheidsamptenare weer hulle motorsitplekke se rugleunings terug en patrolleer dan in alle erns in droomland!

Dit is nou vir jou geen diens dienendes!

Contractor headache Can you please help me publish this and perhaps try to get a response for me.

I am a resident at Mainson De La Mer in Tamariskia (next to Coastal High) a development by Oshiyuma Construction.

I bought my house in 2012.

Deed of sale signed in November and I moved into my house in February 2013. Since I moved in there were many things that required repairing. I did send a punch list to the

contractor.

My problem is this contractor does not respond to this requests. I had light fittings dropping from the roof, lights not working, leaking ceiling and the lot.

Till this day there are still things that I reported that have not been fixed.

Currently the stove does not work, since I moved in, the tiles in the bath-

room are coming loose (knocking on them shows that there are air pockets), kitchen table top is falling over, I am replacing taps, bathroom fittings and toilet seats are falling off one year into occupation and this guys keep promising they will come fix the stuff.

There are still houses under construction by the

same contractors in the area, my advice to these people, don’t sign those completion papers for as long as legally allowed.

Once the bank pays those guys they turn around and walk away.

I am a first time home owner, is this normal and if not where can I go for recourse?

Regards, Veiko

Prepaid water cards condemned The Rally for Democracy and Progress Youth League (RDPYL) would like to condemn the usage of prepaid water cards in the informal settlements.

Many households in the informal settlements live below the breadline and cannot afford to reload credit on their water cards on a regular basis.

We therefore believe that denying poor people access to clean water is not just inhumane, it also triggers the outbreak of water borne diseases like Cholera E. Coli and Salmonellosis.

In the interest of the nation, the RDPYL is urging the Namibian government to rethink about the implications prepaid water meters have on the society.

It remains a fact that denying any citizen access to clean water is

a gross human rights violation.

It is hence very sad to note that 24 years into our independence there are Namibians, still living in the informal settlements, who are forced to drink unhygenic water from public toilets because they cannot afford to reload their water meter cards with credit.

In a case of an emergency, even mobile phones usually enable the owner to dial emergency numbers without having credit on the phone.

However, the sad scenario with the prepaid water cards is that when the credit is used up, the prepaid water meters do

not provide water to the poor. The Government needs to understand that water is life The RDPYL is therefore convinced that prepaid water meters located in poor residential areas is a strategy by the Swapoled government to deny the poor access to clean water.

This method should be abolished with immediate effect because the government has an obligation to supply water to the poor.

The government, through the city councils, should be prepared to subsidise water to citizens who cannot afford to pay for it.

If the Government invests in the technology of harvesting rain water, that could solve some problems pertaining to lack of water.

We are therefore calling upon policy makers to come up with a solution to enable the poor to have acess to clean water.

A governmental subsidity is needed to ensure that the urban and rural poor have access to clean water. Water tariffs should be made affordable so that poor households’ water, in the absence of an income, be subsidised by the state.

Monica Nambelela, RDPYL Secretary General

Sport or cruelty to animals?

I have many questions on your article about pigeon racing in last Friday’s sport edition.

We live here in Walvis Bay between the desert and the ocean. With our weather conditions, is this a sport or cruelty to animals?

You wrote that the East wind was blowing. What route do these “sport people” expect their birds to fly? Over the hot desert or along the Coast and expect them to fight not to be blown into the sea?

You have stated the number of birds that completed the race. What happened to the others?

Some years ago we visited Vogelfederberg for a day braai. It was unexpectedly hot and windy. While we were sitting in the shadow of the rocks, one of the amazing pigeons was fighting against the wind and came to our shelter, totally

exhausted. A few hours later it continued its journey.

All I can say is poor animal, your owner does not deserve a prize. If we had not given you water, you would never have made it home.

Pigeons overpopulate so quickly. Is this the way these “sports people” breed?

Should this sport not be

forbidden at our coast?

During winter until December our weather is unpredictable. I will give a copy of this letter to the SPCA Walvis Bay. namib times please publish my letter and let the readers know the statistics of how many birds left Omaruru and who controls the sport rules.

Concerned

Nobody knows The recent statement by Dr Kawana that SWAPO Party wants to sue opposition parties to recover the money, which he alleges the opposition parties owe SWAPO for the 2009 election challenge, is untimely, irresponsible and most unfortunate, to say the least.

As a lawyer Dr Kawana is supposed to be aware that the issue of the money he is referring to has never been finalised, as far as we are concerned.

As far as we are concerned nobody knows who precisely owes who

what amount as the issue is still ongoing.

Our lawyers are still busy with this issue and we have not received any instructions either from our lawyers or SWAPO lawyers in this regard.

Therefore, Dr Kawana’s

statement is nothing other than a strategyical political campaign well calculated to confuse our members and supporters that we are in a financial mess, which is far from the truth.

We do not subscribe to statements of political

opportunism and we appeal to our members and supporters to remain focused and not allow themselves to be derailed by irresponsible statements.

C-Gals say au revoir

Searching for the next Star The auditions for Big Brother 2014 will take place in Namibia on 8 and 9 July at the Hilton Hotel in Windhoek.

The ninth edition of Africa’s biggest reality series BIG BROTHER AFRICA kicks off in September and already fans are asking who the new housemates will be?

Who will find their names and their faces gracing newspapers? Who will become the subject of drive time radio and just who will find themselves trending on all social media platforms?

Unlike previous years, this year’s entry process is slightly different as potential housemates are invited to come in their numbers for auditions in their respective country venues.

AfricaMagic has always been associated with unearthing, nurturing and recognising talent from around the continent; and Big Brother Africa is one of the shows that have become known for transforming ordinary citizens into stars.

“We are very grateful and remain pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming response that the show has been receiving over the years.

We look forward to the selection of our potential housemates coming in large numbers to auditions at the specified venues and take that chance at being the next Big Brother star,” says M-Net Africa Regional Director (West Africa) Wangi Wa-Uzoukwu.

“The fact that the fans truly adore the show is all

the motivation we need to keep it fresh and that is always made possible by the enthusiastic and funloving young Africans who will answer to Big Brother.

We are rearing to go and we know that this will definitely be another exciting season that is full of quality entertainment!” she adds.

Her sentiments are echoed

by Endemol MD Sivan Pillay who says, “We have been producing this series for M-Net for a number of seasons now and as partners, together we have seen this show grow to the phenomenon that it has become.

We hope the season will be even better as we strive to improve on our offering season after season. We will not hold back on the quality and exciting unpredictability that has become synonymous with Big Brother Africa.

Audiences and fans can expect yet another high quality production and of course, another group of fun-loving housemates who will keep you guessing on who will be left standing come day 91.”

MultiChoice Africa CEO Nico Meyer says: “As MultiChoice Africa we are always pleased to welcome each new season of Big Brother Africa onto our platforms and we applaud its amazing success and ability to bring together audiences from all across the con-

tinent.

The inclusion of Rwanda in this season is even more exciting as this displays that our reach and growth into the various sub-Saharan markets is going from strength to strength.

We look forward to seeing further growth as well as the impressive social media presence that the show enjoys.”

All persons over the age of 21, who are citizens of one of the participating countries and have a valid passport, can enter Big Brother Africa 9.

If you are open-minded, bold and adventurous, that’s even better!

Previous editions of Big Brother Africa have boasted huge cash prizes for winners and this it is no different as the prize money is USD 300 000.

Remember, entries are open to the following 14 countries: Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

BIG BROTHER AFRICA 9 will be screened live 24/7 on DStv channels 197 and 198 while GOtv audiences will see highlights of the show, which begins on Sunday 7 September and is scheduled to run for 91 days.

Big Brother Africa is produced by ENDEMOL SA.

The C-gals ladies ensemble held a performance to acknowledge the fundraising efforts of the Municipality of Walvis Bay CEO, Mr Muronga Haingura and his staff.

The choir performed four songs that set a jovial mood at a farewell event hosted at the Walvis Bay Civic Centre as a token of their appreciation on Wednesday evening.

Haingura labelled the choir as real champions and wished them success.

He reminded them that hard work brought them to where they are and called on them to remain focused.

Conductor Wilna Liebenberg, who founded the choir in 1998, expressed gratitude for the financial contributions and support received from Haingura and the Municipality of Walvis Bay and promised that the group would keep the coastal flags flying high.

The ensemble will have two more performances at the German Lutheran Church

in Swakopmund next Friday and Saturday where after they leave for Walvis Bay’s twin city, Kristiansand in Norway, to perform at various venues and compete with more than 500 other choirs.

They were invited as part of the Walvis Bay (Namibia) and Kristiansand (Norway) municipal cooperation to perform at several venues in Kristiansand as part of the cultural exchange program.

This will be the first overseas tour for the C-Gals choir and as a memento for the concert-goers, they will record their first CD, ‘Mama Afrika’, before the tour, which will be available for the first time in Kristiansand.

The C-Gals were launched after the 1998 “Musikwoche” (Music week) in Swa-

kopmund, an annual event that takes place during the December holidays, in which musicians from Africa and abroad meet, and share their love for music.

The ensemble grew from the humble beginnings of a small group of friends meeting once a week, to an esteemed ensemble passing their Advanced Recital Examination (Trinity GuildHall, London) with 91%.

Over the years, this ensemble has performed in various concerts held at the coast and performed with the Cantare Audire Choir in Windhoek at the end of 2011.

Their repertoire includes Western classical music, songs in the popular genre and, for the first time especially for the overseas listener,

African indigenous music. The members are all amateurs.

The conductor, Liebenberg, has several University Degrees and Diplomas in Music and Teaching, and passed all her Singing Licenciates of UNISA, Trinity GuildHall and Royal Schools with distinction.

She has performed as soloist for various choirs abroad.

Her National Youth Choir of Namibia toured to Elverum, Norway in 1993 and her PK de Villiers school choir won the prestigious ATKV competition for Schools - and Youth Choirs in 1994 and 1995.

Under her baton, the Southern Youth Choir of Namibia won gold at the Roodepoort Eisteddfod in 1996.

WALVIS BAY

MUSIEK VAN TOE EN NOU: (Vlnr) Bobby Angel, Dennis East, Daleen, Billy Forrest en Esmond wat vir die vermaak gesorg het tydens die country fees by Sarah se Gat

Country In Walvisbaai, Ou Wyn Se Moses Bernabé Blaauw

Die country fees verlede week Vrydag in Sarah se Gat het gewys dat die ou spreekwoord, “hoe ouer hoe beter soos rooiwyn”, nie net vir die gesogte rooi voggie geld nie, maar ook vir country sangers.

Die gewilde kuierplek aan die waterkant het behoorlik gedreun met country musiek van toe en nou tewyl die feesgangers lekker voete uitgepak het met die musiek van Bobby

Angel, Billy Forrest, Dennis East, Daleen en Esmond.

Daar was musiek vir oud en jonk met die 18jarige Esmond wat eerste opgetree het met musiek uit die moderne era. Billy Forrest (74) het grappenderwys gesê hy het nie meer die “moves” nie maar sy stem is nog sterk genoeg. Daleen (nee, ons gaan nie sê hoe oud sy is nie) was die enigste roos onder die dorings en het die atmosfeer so 'n bietjie getemper met rustige country van

sangers soos John Denver. Bobby Angel (hy word een van die dae 78) se stem het nog steeds daardie unieke karakter en hy het sy goeie gesondheid toegeskryf aan die feit dat hy al vir 45 jaar 'n vegetariër is. Dennis East (65) het sy bynaam van “The Rocker” gestand gedoen toe hy die mense op die dansvloer laat “jive” en “twist” het met musiek uit die sestigerjare.

Lekker man, lekker.

Salon Leanda opens in Swakopmund Anri Jacobs

Salon Leanda, originally a Salon in Windhoek, moved to the beautiful Swakopmund and now fully operates from shop number one in the Food Lover's Market.

Salon Leanda has been in Windhoek for almost 4 years and has now moved to the coast.

Leanda the owner of Salon Leanda, brings years of expertise in her field to the coast.

She studied at Bloemfontein for three years

and then worked in Windhoek at Hair Craft for almost 3 years.

It was after this that Leanda decided to start her own business venture and this is when Salon Leanda was born.

Leanda travelled a long road to become a hairdresser and at first

studied something else to only later move into her true direction and become a hairstylist and has never looked back since. Leanda absolutely loves her trade, and says it is how she expresses her-self best. “I have forever loved being creative, and whenever I

can do something with my hands I am happy.

Through hairdressing you can express yourself, each client is different and the same hairstyles are different for each and every client.

Every client presents me with a new challenge and this is what I thrive on.”

Leanda describes her style as modern, with a hip and funky upbeat twist, yet still traditional. She added, “I always keep up with the newest trends, but I add a traditional touch to my

styles.” One important thing that clients should know is that when they walk into Salon Leanda, they will receive quality individual attention.

Leanda explained that this is how she has always run her salon and continuously so, “I want to give my undivided attention to each client that comes to me.” At salon Leanda you will receive quality attention and walk away with beautiful hair treated with quality products.

Locker vom Hocker Altpfadfindertreffen

Liebe Küstenleser, Er nennt sie liebevoll seine ,,Altchen”. Seit etwa sechs Jahren kümmert der ExGrundschulleiter der Deutschen Höheren Privatschule Windhoek, Sigi Wagner, sich rührend um Senioren im Durchschnittsalter von 70 bis 75, die sich jeden zweiten Mittwochnachmittag im Monat um 15h00 Uhr zum Altpfadfindertreffen im Pfadfinderheim in Swakopmund einfinden.

Der heutige Pensionär, der mit seiner Frau Erika zusammen seit 10 Jahren in der Lüderitzstraße in Swakopmund lebt, gibt sich die größte Mühe, diesen Nachmittag unterhaltsam zu gestalten.

Die Damen des Vereins sorgen für Kaffee und selbstgebackenen oder gekauften Kuchen, und es wird gemütlich geplaudert. Dann werden aus einem ledereingebundenen Buch gemeinsam Volkslieder gesungen, während Linette Potgieter, Klavierbegleiterin des Swakopmunder Männergesangvereins und der Kantorei Swakopmund, ihre Ziehharmonika streckt und dehnt. Wenn es ihr mal nicht möglich ist zu kommen, holt der 95jährige Karl Thiel seine Mundharmonika hervor und entlockt ihr alte Weisen.

Besondere Mühe gibt Sigi Wagner sich mit der Zusammenstellung eines Quiz’ mit wohl durchdachten Fragen, die die Senioren - etwa 40 bis 50 an der Zahl mit Eifer auf einem Zettel beantworten, um dann hinterher selbst zu testen, wie es um ihr Allgemeinwissen bestellt ist. Außerdem sorgt Herr Wagner bei fast jedem Treffen für eine Überraschung.

Manchmal organisiert er einen Redner, der über ein interessantes Thema informiert oder von einer abenteuerlichen Reise erzählt. So

informierte Anja Kreiner vom Ministerium für Fischerei und Meeresressourcen einmal über das Thema ‘Phosphatabbau am Meeresboden’, Peter Steinkopff plauderte über Stadtverwaltungsangelegenheiten und Hans-Werner Thesen sowie Renate Witt berich-teten über ihre aufregenden Aufenthalte im Ausland.

Die Reden wechseln mit musikalischen Darbietungen, und jedes Jahr im Dezember gibt es eine Weihnachtsfeier, bei der Dörte Witte mit ihren Musikschülern etwas Musikalisches

ihres Mannes, ist Frau Fritze senior immer dabei, und Frau von Goldfuss nennt sie die ,,Mutter der Gilde”.

Sigi Wagner hat die Leitung von Hans Fritze übernommen, als es dem gesundheitlich nicht mehr so gut ging. Trotzdem war Hans Fritze bis zu seinem Tod so gut wie immer anwesend.

Auf die Frage, was Frau von Goldfus an Herrn Wagner schätzt,

Sigi Wagner schaut ein wenig streng, weil er nicht auf das Fotografieren vorbereitet ist, aber hinter dem ernsten Blick steckt ein ganz weicher Kern - vor allem für seine ,,Altchen”.

Foto: Susann Kinghorn präsentiert.

Erda von Goldfus, die seit langer Zeit gemeinsam mit Bärbel Fritze und Gretel Baas die Verantwortung für den Kaffee- und Kuchenausschank übernommen hat, besucht seit etwa 17 Jahren die Treffen der Altpfadfindergilde. Damals haben sich Hans Fritze und seine Frau Bärbel mit unermüdlichem Einsatz um den Verein gekümmert. Auch heute, zweieinhalb Jahre nach dem Tod

antwortet sie: ,,Herr Wagner stellt immer einen interessanten Quiz zusammen, organisiert gute Sprecher und sorgt dafür, dass die Treffen humorvoll sind.”

Also, liebe Senioren Swakopmunds, nichts wie hin zum Altpfadfindertreffen an jedem zweiten Mittwoch des Monats. Sie werden dort ihren Spaß haben.

Das jedenfalls meint Ihre Susann Kinghorn

- Ein fünfjähriger Junge lief versehentlich in das Badezimmer eines Mädchenschülerheims. Die Mädels begannen zu kreischen und versuchten, ihre Nackheit zu verbergen, woraufhin der Bube meinte: ,,Was ist? Habt ihr noch nie einen kleinen Jungen gesehen?”

- Ein 6jähriger Junge fuhr mit seiner Mutter im Auto. Plötzlich winkte ihnen eine splitterfasernackte Frau im Rückfenster des Mercedes zu, der vor ihnen fuhr. ,,Mama”, entrüstete sich der Kleine. ,,Die Frau hat vergessen, ihren Sicherheitsgurt anzuschnallen.”

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste Aubergine: Gesunde Eierfrucht

Auberginen enthalten wenig Kalorien und besitzen nur geringen Eigengeschmack. Sie passen gut zu mediterranen Gerichten, zum Beispiel als Zutat eines Ratatouilles.

Auberginen bestehen zu 93 Prozent aus Wasser und sind sehr kalorienarm – allerdings braucht man für die Zubereitung des Gemüses häufig recht viel Fett. Die Eierfrüchte, wie sie auch genannt werden, enthalten Kalium sowie vor allem in der Schale Vitamine der B-Gruppe sowie Vitamin C. Zum Rohverzehr ist dieses Gemüse nicht geeignet, da es Bitterstoffe und das giftige Alkaloid Solanin enthält.

Die Aubergine kommt ursprünglich wohl aus Indien. In China wurde sie bereits in vorchristlicher Zeit kultiviert.

Die Sarazenen lernten sie in Arabien kennen und brachten sie vermutlich im 13. Jahr-

Ostwindstimmung!

Swakopmund (sk) ,,Der Wind ist die älteste Stimme in der Welt”, äußerte sich der amerikanische Schriftsteller und Biologe Donald Culross Peattie über den physikalischen Vorgang einer stärkeren Luftbewegung in der Atmosphäre. Wenn wir hier an der Küste an den staubigen, heißen Ostwind denken, entlockt dieses leicht poetische Zitat einem wahrscheinlich höchstens ein gequältes Lächeln.

Wir Küstenbewohner wären ja auch sehr unglücklich, wenn wir nicht wenigstens über Wind und Wetter nörgeln könnten.

Was haben wir allerdings bisher für ein unwahrscheinliches Glück mit unserem Winterwetter gehabt.

Kein allzu starker Ostwind raste durch die Straßen, der die heisse Glimmerluft mit feinen Staubpartikeln braun färbte. Auch habe ich noch keine

Hausfrau stöhnen hören, weil der Dreck durch sämtliche Häuserritzen gedrungen ist.

Keiner von uns musste außerdem mit nach vorne gebeugtem Körper gegen den Föhn ankämpfen und den wie Nadelspitzen stechenden Schmerz der Sandkörner am Bein ertragen.

Dahingegen genießen wir eine milde Ostwindstimmung mit sonnigen Tagen und zauberhaften Sonnenuntergängen, die den kernfesten Mann des Winters völlig in Vergessenheit geraten lässt. ENDLICH haben wir mal keinen Grund, über das Wetter zu klagen!

Wie entsteht solch ein Ostwind?

Wenn es im höher gelegenen Inland besonders kalt wird, sodass die Lufttemperaturen unter denen des Atlantik liegen, geraten Massen der trockenen Inlandluft in Bewegung. Diese Luft ge-

winnt auf ihrem Weg zur niedriger gelegenen Küste an Geschwindigkeit und jagt schließlich wie ein Wasserfall über das Khomas-Hochland.

Auf der rasanten Fahrt über die breiten, glatten Flächen der Namib steigt die Lufttemperatur jede 100 Meter, die die Luftmasse an Höhe gewinnt, um einen Grad und endet schließlich als heißer Ostwind an der Küste.

Die Erwärmung der Erde nennt man in diesem Falle eine adiabatische Erwärmung, da die Zustandsänderung von Gas oder Luft ohne Wärmezufuhr von außen veräuft.

Erst über dem Atlantik mit seinem kalten Benguelastrom kühlt sich die Luft ab.

Wegen der gewaltigen Luftmassen dauert es etwa drei Tage, bevor wieder ein Gleichgewicht zwischen Land und Meer hergestellt ist.

New Manager for Pupkewitz Motors Marshallino Beukes Ms Ankia Greef was recently appointed as Branch Manager at Pupkewitz Motors, Swakopmund and this dynamic lady, with a passion for the motor industry, aims to take the company's already high level of customer service even higher.

Ms Greeff joined the Pupkewitz Motor Division as Personal Assistant to the Divisional General Manager in 2003 and after showing great potential for further development, she was nominated to join the Cadet Program (internal management development programme of Pupkewitz Motors Division). She indicated her goal is to serve others with integrity, honesty and respect and also to lead and encourage people to develop to their full potential, resulting into positive growth.

Her move to the coast is described by Ms Greeff as a welcome relief from the rushed city life and the “four-seasons-in-one-day� weather of Swakopmund is according to her all that she still has to adapt to.

Ms Greeff invites old and new customers to go and have a look at their new vehicles and premises. She emphasised the fact that they also provide exceptional after sales service. The fact that they have their own service workshop and spare parts on site offers peace of mind to clients, she concluded.

KTM PRESENTS IT’S MODEL YEAR 2015 ENDURO RANGE!

Timesquare 16133

KTM is pleased to continue its quest for pure brilliance as the company sets the benchmark once again in the development of offroad motorcycles with the presentation of its model year 2015 Enduro range. With continued refinements to the world dominating EXC machines, KTM's Enduro bikes are again ready to set the standard for offroad fun and serious competition.

KTM 350 EXC-F My15

With over 50 percent of the overall average Enduro market share worldwide, further dedication from the Austrian brand's Research and Development department has seen the EXC range receive a variety of improvements and refinements for the latest version of each bike. Last year KTM's EXC machines took the E1 and E3 Enduro World Championship title wins, the EnduroCross and SuperEnduro titles, a number of X-Games gold medals, the overall ISDE (International Six Days Enduro) win, along with numerous Extreme Enduro wins.

New for MY2015 For model year 2015 the EXC receives a range of chassis developments including a new MAE digital speedometer, which offers more readily visible information to the rider, new black Neken handlebars with improved handguards, and softer dual-compound grips. There are also new black colored rims from Giant providing higher rigidity, that compliment the CNC machined hubs, as well as the factory look being completed with a striking orange frame, usually only seen on race team machines, and an exciting new graphic design.

The EXC range is already well renowned for its high specification components with high-end WP sus-

pension including the well-proven PDS rear shock, a class-leading, modern and lightweight chromoly frame, high quality electrics and exhaust system and high-tech Brembo brakes.

Enduro range MY2015 The range itself includes four-stroke machines in the 250 EXC-F, 350 EXC-F, 450 EXC, 500 EXC, along with the two-stroke machines 125 EXC, 200 EXC, 250 EXC and 300 EXC, some of which have received detail engine improvements. In addition to this, with a design relative to the ISDE event in Argentina later in the year, the Six Days range is also available with all-round upgrades and specialist PowerParts fitted to the machines for the ultimate performance.

This year's launch for the EXC range is taking place this week in Sibiu, Romania, which quite aptly is the location that will soon see the Extreme Enduro experts battle it out for the Red Bull Romaniacs win. In a few weeks' time this Hard Enduro track will invite the world's best racers to fight it out across some of the most difficult terrain, and KTM's factory racer Jonny Walker, who rides the KTM 300 EXC, will be looking to add a Romaniacs victory to the Erzbergrodeo win he took just a few weeks ago.

Increased market access uncovered at Team Namibia AGM

Team Namibia members convened at their Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Tuesday at the Windhoek Country Club Resort to investigate ways of obtaining increased market access for Namibian products and services.

More specifically Team Namibia's role in stimulating the increased consumption of local products and services among Government, businesses and consumers was deliberated. A panel discussion was held with a range of panel members to discuss this topic from different perspectives. Suzanne Ackerman-Berman, Director of Transformation at Pick n Pay and Chairman of the Pick n Pay Foundation shared insights from a retail perspective, particularly their Small Business Initiative / Shelf Life Project which drives more suppliers from previously disNew Team Namibia Management

advantaged communities.

Michael Iyambo, Chairman of the Namibian Agronomic Board's National Horticultural Task Team reviewed the Horticulture Market Share Promotion scheme which stimulates the local production of fruit and vegetables in order to contribute towards increased national food self-sufficiency and security as well as import substitution.

Monica Kalondo from Pointbreak reflected on the service industry as an enabler for local market access and shared thoughts on how a truly conducive business environment can be created for thriving Namibian businesses. Jaco Venter, MD of Plastic Packaging and Board Member of Team Namibia and the Namibian Manufacturers Association made suggestions on how Namibian manufacturers' involvement can increase in the value chain.

Dixon Norval, Vice Chairperson of Team Namibia mentioned in his statement that with the organisation's new

Rehoboth Rugbyklub die naweek in aksie teen Kudus in Narraville

Rehoboth Rugbyklub kom die naweek op uitnodiging van Kudus na Narraville met twee spanne om teen die manne van Narraville kragte te meet.

Met die min wedstryde wat die jaar in Narraville gespeel word doen Kudus alles in sy vermoë om rugby na die kus te bring ter waardering vir hul getroue ondersteuners se jarelange ondersteuning aan die kusspan. Soos met die Reho Falcon westryd betaal Kudus weer Rehoboth se reisonkostes om die twee wedstryde moontlik te maak. Rehoboth het vir die laaste vyf jaar nog elke jaar in die eindstryd van die premier liga gespeel en is beslis 'n span met uitsonderlike talent. Hul agterlyn is van die gevaarlikste in die land terwyl hulle met 'n paar stewige voorspelers met baie ervaring spog.

Albei wedstryde beloof om goeie hardlooprugby op te lewer. Kudus se

volgende ligawedstryd is eers 12 Julie teen United en die wedstryd is ook gereël om die manne gemotiveer te hou.

Alhoewel talle spelers nog steeds op die krukkelys is bied dit weereens n geleentheid vir jonger spelers om hul stempel af te druk. Een spelers wat reeds sy merk gemaak het en sy kanse met albei hande aangegeryp het is die belowende Marvin Muller.

Baie word nog van die jong man verwag. Voorlangs behoort Kudus hul man te staan met Grant Nash wat weer stadig maar seker sy ou vorm herwin terwyl 'n man soos Mark Clarke altyd 'n gevreesde teenstander is.

Sy grootste teenstander is baie keer hyself maar

kom ons hoop hy is môre die Markie wat ons ken wat platvee wat voorkom.

Tesame met Richard, Craig, Chris, Enzio, Immo, Boetie, Ashley en CJ om 'n paar te noem, kan Rehoboth hul regmaak vir 'n taai stryd voorlangs.

Agterlangs hou 'n porsie chips nog vir Shalako vir 'n week of twee buite aksie andersins behoort die ander jongmanne hul ding te doen. Kudus nooi die gemeenskap van Walvis uit om die spanne te kom aanmoedig.

Die eerste wedstryd skop af om twee uur met die hoofwedstryd wat vir 15:30 geskeduleer is.

Toegangsgeld is N$20 per volwassene N$10 per voertuig en N$10 per skolier. Verversings sal te koop wees.

Desert Inn Pool Club received bad news on Saturday that one of the player's father passed away, but that did not take any wind out of their sails.

The tournament was played in a good spirit and at a good venue, Paradise Mini Market in Rundu.

The competition was contested over four

rounds, with eight games played per round.

The first, third and fourth round was drawn (4-4). As usual Desert Inn Pool Club started to get their act together and started eliminating their opponents in the second round (5-3).

It was a tough competition for the 2013 champ of champ winners D.I.P.C no matter that

Namibia’s FISH EAGLES off to France The 2014 Inline Hockey World Championships will be held at Palais des Sports André Brouat in Toulouse, France, with championship matches scheduled to take place from 29 June to 12 July 2014.

Namibia is the only country in Africa to participate in the upcoming world championships.

A few days ago, on Saturday, 14th of June 2014, the Namibia Ice and Inline Hockey Association (NIIHA) announced four teams fit and well prepared to represent the country in France at the Inline Hockey World Championships: a junior men’s team, senior men, junior women and senior women’s team.

Every team consists of four players and a goalie (goal tender), and in accordance with the rules of FIRS (Fédération Internationale de Roller Sports) each national team is limited to a maximum of fourteen inline hockey players.

The inline hockey players of the four national teams are made up of the crème de la créme of Namibian club-level players. Five inline hockey clubs are currently registered and operative in the country; Cazadores, Kamikaze and Badgers of Windhoek, Scorpions of Otjiwarongo and the Coastal Pirates of Swakopmund. The teams practice with their clubs on

average a gruelling three times a week and fitness levels are at an all time high. Trials for the national teams started in November last year and were concluded by February of this year.

The battle gear of the national inline hockey teams prominently displays the Namibian flag and an African fish eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer). Arrestingly aggressive, the battle gear was designed by NIIHA and officially approved by the Namibia Sports Commission (NCS), the official national custodian of world class sports development and excellence.

The Namibian national inline hockey teams will be accompanied to France by NIIHA (Namibia Ice and Inline Hockey Association) secretary, Mr Ulrich Thude, who intends to lobby the international community for the Inline Hockey World Championships to be hosted by Namibia in Swakopmund, in 2016.

The private sector of Swakopmund recently invested in a world-class sports facility ideal for inline hockey. Mr Thude also

said that in terms of tourist infrastructure, Namibia is best suited to hosting the 2016 Inline Hockey World Championships more than any other country on the continent.

The four Namibian inline hockey teams were congratulated and wished abundant success in the upcoming Inline Hockey World Championships by the president of NIIHA, Dr Holger Mentzel, who is passionate about growing the sport and Namibia’s competitive ability in the international arena. The country is currently ranked 16th out of 18 competing inline hockey playing countries and the only country on the African continent with a world class inline hockey team.

Inline hockey is a fastpaced and an even faster developing sport.

Namibia has approximately six hundred (600) registered players in different age groups (up to 70 years old even) who are attracted to the speed, dexterity, competitiveness and aggression inherent to the sport. Inline hockey players typically have to make split

Action from an inline hockey match second decisions while skating at high speeds on inline skates (wheels in a straight line), chasing goals after a swift puck.

In addition, inline hockey is played on a very smooth, non-slip surface ideal for speed skating and a very quick hockey puck.

It goes without saying that the smoother the surface, the faster the puck and the racier the game.

Known as a minority, prestige sport in Namibia, inline hockey has grown tremendously in appeal

throughout the world since the days of its humble beginnings back in 1993, when inline skates were first introduced to inline hockey players, instead of the slower, hugely popular quad roller-skates (4 wheels) of the time.

The first group of inline hockey players will leave Namibia for Toulouse in France, on Thursday, 26 June 2014.

Their first match is scheduled for the following Monday, 30 June, when they will face-off against

the USA.

Arrows survives relegation Mavourlene Gaes Eleven Arrows finished a dismal 2013/2014 Namibian Premier League campaign on a positive note with a hard-earned 4-3 victory over arch enemies and NPL rivals Blue Waters at the Kuisebmond Stadium on Saturday.

The match was off to a slow start but took an interesting turn when midfielder Valton Van Staden scored for Arrows in the 20th minute.

Blue Waters immediately retaliated and had the ball in the back of the net, but the effort was ruled offside.

Arrows tried hard to attack Blue Waters when they returned, but a resilient Blue Waters struck back with an equaliser by

striker Joseph Nghifinauako minutes into the second half.

The players’ inability to score led to frustration and tempers started to flare as play progressed.

Arrows were handed a penalty by referee Jonas Shengodi after an infringement on one of their players in the box. Midfielder Jaques Uwukhaeb converted from the spot in the 49th minute and restored Arrows’ lead.

Left winger Jason Ekandjo added a third goal for Arrows in the 69th minute and stretched the Arrows lead to two goals.

Blue Waters displayed a “never say die” attitude and this served them well as they were eventually rewarded with a goal by striker Hendrick Somaeb (NPL top goal scorer) in the 76th minute.

Somaeb also levelled the scores (3-3) once again in the in the 83rd minute.

Arrows desperately needed the win to ensure their continued existence in top flight soccer and the only way to achieve that was by beating Blue Waters.

Jaques Uwukhaeb finally brought the much needed relieve with his second goal in the 87th minute and made the final score 4-3.

The result secured a 10th place finish for Arrows and a 5th place finish for Blue Waters.

Time: 17h00 until 19h00
