‘n Moordsaak wat voortspruit uit ‘n insident gedurende Desember 2011, toe die 32-jarige Elifas Hailonga in hegtenis geneem is vir die moord op sy meisie en ongebore baba in Swakopmund, het vandeesweek in die Hooggeregshof in Windhoek ten einde geloop, met die beskuldigde wat vir 35 jaar tronk toe gestuur is. Hailonga is alreeds in Julie vanjaar skuldig bevind aan aanranding en moord op die 23-jarige Helena Nghipunyati, wat op daardie stadium vyf maande swanger was. Hy was aangekla dat hy haar, na ‘n rusie by hul won-

ing in die dorp se Mondesa woonbuurt, met ‘n mes in die rug gesteek het. Die oorledene het blykbaar weggehardloop, waarna hy haar gejaag het en die fatale wond toegedien het.

Hy het aanvanklik erken dat hy haar wel met ‘n mes gesteek het, maar later van tyd het hy sy storie verander en aangevoer dat hy slegs die mes in haar rigting gegooi het. Hierdie weergawe is deur

die hof verwerp. Op die aanklag van aanranding op die oorledene is hy een jaar gevangenisstraf opgelê, wat saam met die moordvonnis uitgedien gaan word.

We will join another union, say NAPWU members Jade McClune

Following repeated protests by government workers, who say the union is ignoring their demands, a tense meeting between the workers and union bosses took place at the offices of the Namibia Public Workers Union (NAPWU) in Swakopmund on Wednesday.

Gideon Thomas, head of operations addresses the workers

NAPWU, which is affiliated to the ruling Swapo Party, through its membership in the National Union of Namibian Workers, is widely considered a ‘sweetheart union’ of the government and has repeatedly come under fire from public servants, who are struggling to make ends meet. NAPWU’s head of operations, Mr Gideon Thomas, arrived from Windhoek to deal with the issues. Dressed in Swapo regalia, he opened the meeting by asking non-union members to immediately leave

the building. According to NAPWU rules he is not obliged to speak to anyone who is not a member, he said. “I am here to face the NAPWU members. I have no duty to speak to anybody but our members.” He pointed to the holes in the ceiling of the union building and joked that at least there is light streaming through the dilapidated roof. The namib times was also excluded, as Gideon said that he “may not address the media”. Ironically, many of the workers who were put out

of the meeting are new government employees, who came to find out about the union and how to join. Looking disappointed after they were told to leave, some workers said they would rather consider joining the Public Service Union of Namibia (PSUN). Thomas reportedly told the workers they did not follow correct procedures when laying their complaint, although the workers insist they tried every available channel to air their grievances and submitted an official Continues on page 2

Two-thirds majority must be done away with, Venaani Jade McClune

The DTA leader, McHenry Venaani says it is imperative that voters dismantle the ruling party’s two-thirds majority in parliament during the upcoming national elections scheduled for Friday 28 November. Speaking exclusively to the namib times on Wednesday Mr Venaani, who is the DTA’s presidential candidate, said it is only due to its two-thirds majority in parliament that the Swapo Party was able to push through the unpopular Constitutional amendments that passed into law this week. “Democracy is under threat”, he said, because the two-thirds majority means the ruling party can push through any laws it wants, no matter how unpopular. The recent amendments to the Constitution will lead to greater concentration of power in the hands of the presidency. This is a dangerous tendency, as absolute power corrupts absolutely, he said, noting that the newlycreated post of vicepresident would not be appointed by, or accountable to parliament, but would answer only to the appointing authority, the president.

Giving more power to the ruling party is a threat to the democracy, he said. “We need to defeat the two-thirds majority. It must go in order to restore a democratic balance in parliament,” he said. This means the governing party will have to seek support from opposition for key changes to the law and cannot unilaterally pass laws without support. Commenting on Prime Minister Hage Geingob’s decision last week to cancel a catering tender worth N$3 billion from the Ministry of Education, after it emerged that a large contract worth N$47 million was awarded to a company in which the wife of Permanent Secretary Alfred Ilukena had an interest, Venaani said the PM did not go far enough: “He needs to suspend the PS with immediate effect. Under his leadership the DTA party would create a more robust anti-corruption framework in the

regions, Venaani said. On the housing crisis, he said the DTA manifesto is clear. House prices are being pushed up by the lack of land. “We need a resettlement plan, which includes the urban areas. As in the DRC in Swakopmund, we believe the only way to reduce the housing demand is for people to be given serviced land for free.” “We also need to curb the speculators by taxing people who buy land purely for speculation and give first-time home buyers a subsidy. It is unacceptable that we have the second highest house price increases in the world. At the same time, in terms of income we are one of the most unequal countries in the world. The income gap is too large,” he said. Venaani also lamented the fact that around 3 000 children under the age of five die in Namibia every year due to preventable and curable diseases caused by lack of sanitation. Wednesday was World Handwashing Day, but for many people maintaining hygiene and basic sanitation is a major challenge. He said the situation is “due to the failure of the government to provide services”. “The lack of basic water and sanitation has cascading effects on all spheres of life, therefore our party will put forward a robust framework for town planning, which involves firstly implementing sanitation infrastructure, as a matter of priority.” “Swapo keeps saying they freed the country, but freedom cannot be eaten. We have kept the peace, but sooner or later freedom must translate into socio-economic justice, or it is meaningless. Three thousand kids are dying every year for lack of water and sanitation, but the government has the audacity to spend N$330 million on a new Lear jet.” “The Swapo goverment’s priorities are totally skewed; they are spending vast sums of money on luxury items, while the most basic needs of the people are not being met.

Government is not helping, they have the audacity to spend N$1.5 billion this year to buy weapons and equipment for the military, but who are we at war with? Why are we spending all this money on defense when there are other urgent priorities?” On the protection of water rights, Venaani said the DTA has a problem with Namwater’s policy of charging commercial rates for water: ‘Water services should not be privatised. Water services for the rural and urban poor should rather be subsidised to reduce the cost and to help farmers. At the moment farmers are going under because of the high prices Namwater charges for water.” Venaani said a DTA government would also offer monthly social grants to all single mothers raising their children and would offer rebates on the price of water and electricity. To tackle youth unemployment they would boost job creation by providing startup capital to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). “SME’s are the most effective way of creating jobs. We would take 2.2% of the national revenue to re-invest in SMEs in order to give young people a jumpstart and enable them to get loans without having to put down any collateral.” “The ruling party has become complacent and democracy is under threat. We need a new government, people with new ideas,” he said. “The DTA is the only alternative to the present government. Under my candidature we will build a formidable opposition and restore balance to our democracy.”

complaint to NAPWU in June, which was ignored until they took to the streets. “With a meagre salary of N$2 000, how will you support a family with food, shelter, education, clothes... while ministers get all this for free?” they asked in their grievance letter. Sources inside the meeting on Wednesday said NAPWU did not respond to their demands, but instead asked the members to wait until 2015 when negotiations with the government resume. The current wage agreement spans the period 2012 to 2014. The cleaners demand a basic salary of at least N$8 000. “We can’t afford to buy houses as we are underpaid. We are also not invited to workshops or training events. We are not invited to take part in sports activities.

The discrimination is still like in the apartheid era”, they wrote in June. A meeting of NAPWU leaders to set out a proposed salary structure will take place next week, with the aim of preparing for the next round of wage negotiations, starting early 2015. Gideon reportedly said NAPWU would meet with various ministries to address the workers’ concerns. The workers were also upset to learn that they had the right to appeal the re-grading structure, approved in 2012. Thomas allegedly said NAPWU has no obligation to inform its members of their right to appeal. “Many people are angry over the way the union is treating us. They left the meeting one by one until there was almost nobody present.

Some want to leave the union, but we persuaded them to be patient,” one of the leading organisers said yesterday. “The people are still unhappy and plan to give back their membership cards. If NAPWU cannot address our concerns, we will look for another union to represent us. They have now given us assurances and we will give them a chance to sort out the issues, but if they fail we will take further action,” she said. Not prepared to leave their struggle for bread and butter in the hands of union bureaucrats, the workers, including cleaners, matrons, caretakers and labourers, are building a shop-stewards’ committee, including delegates from every school, hospital and government workplace in the region, they said.

New Junior Town Council takes centre stage Piquet Jacobs The Walvis Bay Junior Town Council looks bright for 2015, as the senior members of 2014 step down to the new leaders of 2015, with Junior Mayor of 2015, Omar van Reenen at the helm. The new members were announced on Wednesday evening at the Municipality Council Chambers, with council members, parents, principals and Walvis Bay Mayor, Uillika Nambahu, as witnesses. The new members have large shoes to fill, with the Junior Council of 2014 being recognised as the most productive council yet. Junior Mayor of 2014, Marietta Janse van Rensburg, stepped up to the podium to thank her

fellow councillors for their enthusiastic participation in the past year to make a difference as youthful leaders. “Thank you all, for stepping up to the plate and proving your devotion to your selected roles of the council of 2014. We really delivered. The difference between extraordinary and ordinary is that little extra you all put in, thank you.” The newly elected Junior Mayor, Omar van Reenen, said that he will

The newly elected Junior Town Council dedicatedly lead the council to strive to better themselves and to better the deeds of the Junior Town Council. He promised to selflessly always strive to do his part, and with his fellow leaders will ensure that anything that can be changed or improved by

them, will be done. With Jani Van Den Berg as Deputy Junior Mayor and Aaqielah Kamaldien as CEO at his side, van Reenen can take the council to higher goals. Galant Himlin, motivational speaker, delivered an exceptional speech, talking life and

confidence into the new council members by referring to them as astronauts and the Junior Council as a whole as a spaceship. “I want you all to see yourselves as rocket leaders, the difference of tomorrow. It takes someone special to be an astronaut, it takes

hard work and dedication. See your council body as a spaceship, pushing through the earth's atmosphere, pushing through all the limitations. Be as powerful and lightweight as a spacecraft, powerful through

your deeds and lightweight by staying humble, then you all can achieve greatness,” he commented. Mayor, Uillika Nambahu, wished the new council members well as they embark on a growing journey together.

Concern over possible oil dumping at the coast A maritime surveillance aircraft fitted with radar would be the best equipment for the detection of oil dumping in Namibian waters. This was suggested by Eric Haase, a satellite technology lecturer at the Polytechnic of Namibia (PoN) on Tuesday during his presentation at the sixth annual Science Forum of the Benguela Current Commission in Swakopmund. The forum started on Monday. Maritime surveillance aircraft perform a number of missions such as pollution detection and mapping, search and rescue, maritime surveillance, border patrol, fisheries’ control, anti-smuggling patrols, offshore oil-field monitoring and research applications. Oil spills can kill marine birds such as penguins and pelicans, and mammals such as whales and seals, as well as fish and shellfish. Haase said patrol vessels and small craft are currently used to patrol the coastal waters, but there is a need for an aircraft fitted with radar. “There could be oil dumping in Namibian waters which is not detected yet. Even if it could be detected, it is difficult to catch the culprits without airborne surveillance,” he stated. Haase indicated that patrols are now also challenged by a lack of clear vision at night and fog on some days. As such, it is difficult to detect who is dumping the oil. A combination of technological radar and aircraft would thus

CRIME & COURT

Satellite technology lecturer at the Polytechnic of Namibia, Eric Haase, says Namibia must get a radar-fitted surveillance aircraft to monitor oil dumping. defeat such challenges. “A surveillance aircraft is able to patrol a large area, even at night, and can detect oil spills in the water from above. When a ship is seen dumping oil, the craft can easily come closer to that vessel and take pictures as evidence for conviction,” he stressed. He indicated that these are the findings of his voluntary survey on initiatives to establish a marine oil spill surveillance programme in Namibia. The Danish lecturer said since he is about to return home in two months, he is willing to provide his survey results to Namibian researchers so that they can solicit funding and continue with it. “Somebody should take over this project so that you can do something about the dangers of oil dumping in Namibian waters,” he noted.

The last oil spill in Namibia was detected in 2009 along the coast of Lüderitz. It covered about 100 kilometres of the coastline and affected more than 156 African Penguins, which were rescued. About 100 marine scientists and researchers are attending the three-day forum, which ends on Wednesday, to discuss ways to protect and preserve the marine ecosystem in the three partnering countries, Namibia, South Africa and Angola. The Benguela Current Commission, an inter-governmental organisation, which coordinates the efforts of the three countries in promoting the longterm conservation and sustainable use of marine resources, is hosting the conference. ~ NAMPA

Coping with illegal fishing A new study shows that Namibia has been far more effective than neighbouring South Africa in curbing illegal fishing in its waters. Although previously sharing many ecological and institutional conditions, the fisheries reform processes undertaken in South Africa and Namibia in the early 1990s have produced highly different institutional trajectories, two researchers from the Quality of Government Institute in the Department of Political Science at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, suggest. A leading marine expert visiting Swakop-

mund, was recently quoted as saying that many West African countries are quite unable to prevent illegal fishing that is exhausting fish stocks and depriving governments of much-needed revenue. “In most West African countries, surveillance and monitoring is almost zero, most African countries don’t even have a single vessel, or even a small craft,” Professor Daniel Pauly, a fisheries specialist from University of British Colum-

bia, told Bloomberg last week. He said many countries are unable to enforce the conditions of fishing quotas, “while illegal operators exploit the resources at will…” Prof Pauly reportedly said that revenue from fishing is being redirected or simply lost through mismanagement and corruption. The Swedish researchers, in contrast found that “In Namibia, the institutional arrangements governing fisheries management have

turned Namibia into a regional success case with relatively low degrees of illegal fishing and poaching, but in South Africa, the institutional arrangements are generally considered to be weak and characterised by noncompliance – and poaching is widespread.” The overall objective of the research conducted by Martin Sjöstedt and Aksel Sundström is to provide an institutional perspective on how to understand the dyna-

mics of these different paths of development. The researchers aimed to provide an institutional perspective on how to understand this puzzle and found that

South Africa and Namibia share several ecological and historical characteristics, yet their effectiveness to curb illegal fishing has taken contrasting

routes. While Namibian management is relatively successful, poaching is much more widespread in South Africa, they reported.

In Namibia 3 000 children die yearly for lack of sanitation Ahead of the celebration of Global Handwashing Day on Wednesday, the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) raised the concern that one out of five schools nationwide lack toilet facilities. Namibia also has one of the lowest levels of sanitation coverage in eastern and southern Africa. It is estimated that more than 1.4 million Namibians – two thirds of the population – have no proper toilet facilities and half of the population relieve themselves in the open. “And the number is even greater in rural areas and informal settlements, where four out of five households are without toilets. About 52 percent of Namibians are still practicing open defecation,” Unicef said. Unicef statistics indicate that about 3 000 under five-year-old children die from preventable and curable diseases caused by poor hygiene and sanitation. Diarrhoea is a leading cause of death among children under the age of five in Namibia, accounting for about 18 percent of all deaths. Pneumonia accounts for 13 percent of under-five deaths, and malnutrition accounts for another 12 percent. Unicef said there is a common believe and practice that washing with water alone is sufficient

to clean hands. Global Handwashing Day is a campaign to motivate and mobilise millions around the world to wash their hands with soap. The event will be celebrated under the theme 'Choose handwashing, choose health'. The aim is to promote handwashing and raise awareness of the crucially important role it plays in child survival and overall community health. Unicef released some shocking facts, noting that only 58 percent of health facilities in Namibia have running water and soap. “This simple behaviour change can save lives, cutting deaths from diarrhoea by almost one-half and deaths from acute respiratory infections by nearly one-quarter. And it is not just children who are affected, we all are – many of the most common things that make us unwell – diarrhoea, chest infections, colds and flu can be prevented or reduced by the simple act of handwashing with soap,” Unicef added. ~ NAMPA

Stay clean and stay healthy

Country's renewable energy in spotlight Sharlien Tjambari The Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) held an energy seminar in Swakopmund, at the Zum Kaiser Hotel in Swakopmund, this week. The main focus of the seminar was renewable energy in Namibia.

Participants of the Seminar

Mayors and councillors from different towns in the Erongo Region attended the seminar. Speaking at the seminar, Mr Harald Schütt of Amusha cc noted that Namibia's electricity sector faces major challenges. The security of supplies, both nationally and regionally, are not guaranteed and demand is outstripping supply faster than replacements can be brought on line, he stated. The supply of electricity to Namibian

consumers is increasingly under pressure. In Namibia, the electricity energy that is fed into the transmission grid is generated at four local power plants, in addition to the electricity energy imported from neighbouring countries. The four local power plants are the Ruacana hydro-electric power station at the Kunene River, the van Eck power station just north of Windhoek, Paratus power station in Walvis Bay, and the Anixas power plant,

which is also located in Walvis Bay. According to Mr Schütt, using electricity to heat water is like throwing money away. “People spent a lot of money on electricity, without thinking how much they could safe when they use solar water heaters,” were his words to the attendees. Mr Schütt further urged Namibians to start looking at renewable energy resources. “Without electricity we are doomed in

everything we try to achieve, electricity is a national commodity,” Schütt warned. He also encouraged Namibians to use Solar Photovoltaic (PV) technology, which can play a vital role in narrowing the country's electricity supply gap. Solar Photovoltaic technology converts sunlight into electricity and according to Mr Schütt, Namibia has all the resources for renewable energy.

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?

Where are the traffic cops when you need them?

Road Safety Campaign The National Road Safety Council launched its annual Road Safety Campaign in Swakopmund on Wednesday under the theme ‘Take the Pledge’. This year more than 1 000 coastal residents put their signature on a petition, pledging to be a safe road user. Allan Roodt: I have a better idea, how about more visible policing from traffic authorities and highway patrol’s and issuing traffic fines

instead of people putting down stupid promises on a piece of paper? Denise Van Bergen: Costs money.

Kliëntediens steeds doring in die vlees Marshallino Beukes Die Feesseisoen is op hande en alle paaie gaan weereens na die kus lei vir ‘n welverdiende jaarlikse vakansie. Besoekers van heinde en verre gaan die kusdorpe binnestroom en sommige besighede, asook staatsinstellings sal beslis aan die standaard van hul kliëntediens moet skaaf.

Klagtes stroom weekliks in na die koerant en dit blyk asof sommige besighede hulle glad nie steur aan die ongerief wat hul klante moet verduur en ook nie aan media beriggewing aangaande die tendens nie. Puik kliëntediens is die rugmurg van enige suksesvolle besigheid en ‘n onvriendelike kassier, of een wat op ‘n selfoon be-

sig is, terwyl lang rye klante op hul tande moet kners, is beslis nie opbouend vir sodanige besigheid nie. Kus inwoners, sowel as besighede, is direk verantwoordelik vir die beeld wat na buite gestuur word, ten einde die toerisme sektor ‘n hupstoot te gee. namib times gaan voortaan hierdie situasie onder ‘n vergrootglas plaas

en weekliks die besigheid of werknemer, wat volgens jan publiek bo die res uitstaan, rakende puik kliëntediens, in die koerant publiseer. Hierdie inisiatief staan ten doel om besighede op hul tone te hou en ook om diegene wat wel hul kliënte tevrede stel, hul eer te gee. Epos u nominasies aan marshallino@ namibtimes.net

of skakel 081 605 2595. Onthou, u moet motiveer, waarom u die spesifieke persoon of besigheid as werknemer/besigheid van die week nomineer. ‘n Onafhanklike ondersoek sal ook geloods word, ten einde te verseker dat sodanige persoon/besigheid wel verdien om hierdie groot eer te kry.

I would like to ask a question I think everyone is asking, does Walvis Bay have a traffic department? The reason I am asking is because it seems to be the norm to park on yellow lines, double-park in parking areas, driving while talking on cellphones and texting and some cars driving without any form of registration. Its come to a point where people

dont even rethink about their actions because they know nothing will be done about it. I’m sick of people parking behind me on a yellow line and if I reverse into him (because of being boxed in) of course it’s my fault. Has the idea of traffic fines become extinct? Allan Roodt

Repayment of loans is critical – DBN

Repay loans for future development The Development Bank of Namibia's Communication Manager, Jerome Mutumba, says that loan repayments are vital if the Bank is to sustain its lending in the interests of national development. According to Mr Mutumba, the management of loan terms, particularly repayment of loans, is critical for both the Development Bank of Namibia and its clients. He further noted that one of the Bank's dictums is 'what is given gets given back'. Explaining the concept, he said that the Bank has a fair approach to lending that fosters the mandate of development. However, he noted that DBN also has to ensure that loans are repaid, as it uses the capital and interest that it recovers to make more loans for development of enterprise and infrastructure. The contract between DBN and clients is a contract to responsibly use national resources, as DBN was established from national resources,

Mutumba explained. “The contract allows clients to start up new enterprises or strengthen existing ones, and we expect our clients to prosper, but at the same time the Bank must prosper as well”. Mutumba pointed out that since its inception 10 years ago, the Bank's annual level of lending had grown consistently. In the financial year 2005, when the Bank achieved full operating capacity, loan approvals were N$ 110 million, growing to N$ 840 million for the 2013 financial year, with a total of N$ 3,379 billion approved since the Bank's inception. These amounts translate into prosperity for recipients of loans, infrastructure, employment creation and retention, as well as improved social development. If repayments are not made, the pace of

development will slow down, and enterprise and infrastructure will also slow down, Mutumba said. Talking about impediments to repayment, Mutumba said the Bank has observed three primary causes of impairments and defaults. He said the first primary impediment is unrealistic business planning. Entrepreneurs are often overoptimistic in the early stages of planning, and may not be able to cope with the operational reality of the plans on which they base their applications for finance. This, he said, would lead to lower streams of revenue than initially expected, and would have an impact on the enterprise's ability to keep up with repayment. Secondly, Mutumba said, the administration of enterprise

also plays a critical role in the ability of the enterprise to repay. If administration is lax, additional costs may mount up, placing strain on the enterprise's ability to service its loan repayments. Thirdly, some entrepreneurs do not reinvest earnings, or they are quick to make drawings on profits. This also reduces the ability to repay loans in future. Mutumba stressed that an enterprise must never be seen as an instant source of wealth for owners, but should instead reinvest revenue in operations and in growth. By taking the longterm view, owners would achieve financial stability and subsequent wealth. Regarding the importance of collateral, he said while DBN does not base its credit extension on collateral,

the Bank does request a certain level of collateral in some instances. Collateral serve two main purposes. Firstly it helps align and borrower's interest with that of the Bank, i.e. the borrower shares the risk with the Bank and it ensures the borrowers commitment to the success of the enterprise. Secondly, collateral serves as a secondary source of loan repayment in case of the worst case scenario of business failure. If the entrepreneur is collateral-resistant, he said, the Bank perceives this as a lack of confidence on the part of the entrepreneur in his or her own business. He added that the Bank does however make provision for reduced collateral for emerging entrepreneurs who have not yet been able to build up a portfolio of assets which can be pledged as collateral. He pointed to the Bank's acceptance of certain assets acquired with Bank finance

Jerome Mutumba serving as collateral. Mutumba said recovery of capital through collateral was inevitable, if the enterprise defaulted on loan obligations, as the Bank is duty bound to preserve its capital to apply to the projects of other borrowers. In the final analysis, Mutumba said, finance from the Development Bank of Namibia, should be considered a privilege,

not an entitlement. The decision to allocate finance is based on what is best for national development, although it envisages growing wealth on the part of the borrower. “We firmly believe that good business is good for development and, as a part of this, what is given gets given back”, Mr Mutumba concluded.

Big brother hotshots M-net and Endemol South Africa make a correction to the Big Brother hotshots’ nomination announcement and voting process Error Will Not Affect Voting M-Net and Endemol South Africa have taken immediate steps to address an error that occurred during the Nomination Announcement on Big Brother Hotshots on Monday evening, 13 October. The name of Permithias was erroneously omitted from the list of this week’s nominated housemates and was not made available as a voting option for viewers on the relevant platforms. Housemates made their nominations on Sunday evening. Frankie received 8 nominations, Tayo and JJ received 7 each, Permithias received 6, Esther received 5, Sabina received 4, and Lilian and Laveda received 3 nominations each. M-Net and Endemol South Africa have taken the following steps to correct this error and to ensure that the voting process is fair to all nominated housemates:

1) All voting platforms, except SMS, will be closed as of 11:00 CAT on Tuesday 14 October. 2) Big Brother’s nominee read will happen on Tuesday 14 October after the broadcast of the Daily Highlights show at 20:30 CAT on all relevant channels, so that the housemates and viewers are aware of the full list of nominees. 3) All votes, including SMS votes, for the period Monday 13 October 20:30 CAT to Tuesday 14 October 20:30 CAT will be verified by auditors SizweNtsalubaGobodo on Tuesday 14 October 20:30 and will be excluded from the accumulated vote count for Sunday 19 October. 4) Charges for all SMS votes received between Monday 13 October 20:30 CAT and Tuesday 14 October 20:30 CAT will be reversed (users will be refunded). 5) Voting will reopen on all platforms directly after the housemates have been

informed of the relevant nominees on Tuesday 14 October after the Daily Highlights Show, 20:30 CAT. The nine housemates nominated for eviction on Sunday 19 October are therefore: Esther; Ellah (both Uganda); Frankie (Rwanda); JJ (Zimbabwe); Laveda (Tanzania); Lilian; Tayo (both Nigeria); Sabina (Kenya) and Permithias (Namibia). Eight of the housemates are up for eviction based on nominations received from their fellow housemates, while Ellah is up for eviction after Head of House Samantha used her powers to add her to the list. Ellah will not be informed of her nomination until Sunday evening when Samantha reveals her decision during the Live Eviction Show. M-Net and Endemol South Africa apologise to viewers for the error and can confirm that the correction will have no bearing on the results of the eviction vote on Sunday 19

October, due to the independent auditing process verified by SizweNtsalubaGobodo. There are four ways to vote for your favourite housemate each week: 1. Via SMS 2. Via WeChat 3. Via www.bigbrotherafrica.com 4. Via the mobisite on your mobile phone SMS Voting To vote via SMS: Text the keyword ‘Vote’, followed by the name of the housemate to the short code number for your country.

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste Vielseitigkeits-Reitchampionat Wiltrud Becker: ein bewegtes Leben

Silvia Kleyenstüber auf Midgard Gigant. Es ist fast soweit. Am 1/2. November findet das 2. FNB Namibianische VielseitigkeitsChampionat auf dem Gelände des Reitervereins Swakopmund (RVS) statt. Das Buschreiten in Namibia lebt so richtig auf. Vor noch knapp zwei Jahren gab es lediglich ein Vielseitigkeitsturnier in Namibia. Dies fand jährlich auf der Sphinxblick Reitund Gästefarm unter der Schirmherrschaft des RVS statt. Nach sieben Jahren hat sich dies nun endlich geändert. Jährlich finden inzwischen mindestens 6 Vielseitigkeitsturniere auf 4 verschiedenen Ge-

ländestrecken (Sphinxblick, Claratal, Reitgemeinschaft Otjiwarongo und Reiterverein Swakopmund) statt. Jede Strecke hat seinen eigenen Charme, seinen individuellen Schwierigkeitsgrad. Doch die Buschreiter sind sich einig, dass j e d e s Vi e l s e i t i g keitstunier einzigartig ist und nicht verpasst werden darf. Das Championat, welches der namibianische Höhepunkt im Buschreiten ist, verlangt so einiges von Ross und Reiter. Fitness ist daher das absolute A und O bei diesem Hochleistungssport.

Worte der Woche

Swakopmund (sk) Eine Swakopmunderin, die namentlich nicht genannt werden möchte, entdeckte auf ihrem Spaziergang einen jungen Mann am Ufer des Swakopriviers nördlich von Kramersdorf, der mutterseelenallein auf einem Schlagzeug spielte. Sie war von diesem Anblick so gerührt, dass sie ein Foto schickte mit

dem Zitat von Charlotte Graf: “Musik ist die Sprache der Menschlichkeit, wann immer und wo immer sie klingt. In ihrer Gegenwart sind wir eins.” Sollte der junge Musiker diese Zeilen lesen, bitte bei Christiane Ast unter der Handynummer 0812757080 melden. Sie kann in ihrer BigBand sehr gut einen Schlagzeuger gebrauchen.

Um so grösser ist die Freude, wenn ein großzügiger Sponsor, wie das Finanzhaus First National Bank Namibia (FNB), dem Veranstalter zur Seite steht. Mit N$ 7500 Preisgeld unterstützt die FNB das diesjährige Vielseitigkeits-Championat, das auf dem RVS Eventing Parkgelände ausgetragen wird. Unter der Leitung von Silvia Kleyenstüber wurden die Strecken überarbeitet und der Schwierigkeitsgrad angehoben. Bisher ist die Königsklasse über ein Meter stark vertreten. Aber auch in den Kategorien über 80cm und 90cm füllen sich langsam aber sicher die Starterzahlen. Der Nennungsschluss für die Teilnehmer ist am 14. Oktober. Auch in diesem Jahr bekommt der Veranstalter von der FEI richterliche Unterstützung, namlich von Patricia Clifton, David Evans und Darryl Scaife aus England. Auch Nationale Richter werden zur Unterstützung eingeladen. Mit den Dressurprüfungen geht es am 1. November ab 09:00 los, gefolgt vom Springreiten ab 14:00. Am 2. November ab 10:00 geht es dann auf die Geländestrecke, die für jeden Buschreiter und auch Zuschauer der absolute Höhepunkt ist. Der Reiterverein Swakopmund freut sich über zahlreiche Besucher. Für das leibliche Wohl wird natürlich gesorgt und der Eintritt ist selbstverständlich kostenlos. Holger Kleyenstüber

Swakopmund - Im Verlauf des Jahres 1924 starben Lenin und Franz Kafka, Robert Mugabe und Marlon Brando wurden geboren und die Stadt Berlin nahm den elektrischen S-Bahnbetrieb auf. In diesem Jahre wurde auch Wiltrud Brock im Küstenort Swakopmund geboren. Nachdem sie als Kleinkind fünf Jahre mit ihren Eltern in deren Heimat Deutschland verbracht hatte, zog die Familie 1930 zurück nach Swakopmund, damit ihr Vater, Wilhelm Brock, nach dem Tod Eduard Wardeskys, der seit 1899 die Geschäfte des Handelsunternehmens „Woermann & Brock & Co.“ leitete, dessen Aufgaben übernehmen konnte. Im Juli des Jahres 1939 nahm ihre Mutter, Helene Henriette Auguste Keck, sie und ihre drei Geschwister mit nach Hamburg, um dort die erkrankte Großmutter noch einmal sehen zu können. Der kurz bevorstehende Ausbruch des zweiten Weltkrie-

Harz unterzukommen. Hier in Blankenburg heiratete sie auch 1943 ihren „Auserwählten“, Hasso Becker. Sie hatte ihn schon als junges Mädchen in Südwestafrika kennengelernt und gefragt, ob er sie irgendwann heiraten werde. Hasso war 1938 aus dem südlichen Afrika nach Deutschland gegangen, um dort im Militär zu dienen. Bereits eine Woche nach dem Angriff deutscher Truppen auf Polen, am 7. September 1939, wurde er verwundet und verbrachte einige Zeit im Lazarett. Die Schmerzen sollten ihn ein Leben lang begleiten, doch vermutlich rettete diese frühe Verletzung dem jungen Mann das Leben. Er wurde in die Ukraine zur Schafzucht versetzt, einer Tätigkeit, der er bereits in Südwestafrika nachgegangen war. Wiltrud (jetzt: Becker) begleitete ihren Mann nach Kiew. Bei jeder sich bietenden Gelegenheit versuchte sie auch hier, der Großstadt zu entkommen und mit Hasn-

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste vom Hocker Fußballprojekt ,,Auf Ballhöhe” Locker Ach, Afrika!

Fußball ist sowohl in Deutschland als auch in Namibia Volkssport Nummer 1. Die deutsche Organisation „Auf Ballhöhe“ setzt sich weltweit dafür ein, dass Kinder und Jugendliche Fußball spielen und dabei ihre sportlichen, aber auch ihre sozialen Kompetenzen entwickeln und ausbauen. Daher organisiert „Auf Ballhöhe“ seit Ende August mit den zwei Mitarbeitern Johannes Schröpfer und Matthias Frosch ein Fußballcamp für 300 Jungen und Mädchen aus sieben Schulen in Katutura. Das Camp findet vom 13.10. - 25.10. an der Augustineum-Schule und der Ella du Plessis-Schule statt. Neben dem Trainingscamp, welches am 25. Oktober mit einem Turnier enden wird, werden 25 Lehrer der Schulen von einem deutschen A-Lizenz Trainer, sowie darüber hinaus 10 Schiedsrichter ausgebildet. Das Auswärtige Amt unterstützt das Projekt über die Deutsche Bot-

schaft im Rahmen seiner internationalen Sportförderung mit einer Sportgerätespende in Höhe von N$ 54188 und dem Ziel, den Ausbau des Breitensports in Namibia voranzutreiben und beim Auf- und Ausbau nachhaltiger Sportstrukturen zu helfen. Darüber hinaus wird das Projekt von Physically Active Youth und Klaus Stärk, dem Technischen Direktor der NFA, unterstützt. Vor dem Hintergrund der zeitgleich in Windhuk stattfindenden CAF African Women’s Football Championship soll die Rolle der Frau im Sport und in der Gesellschaft Namibias gestärkt werden. Außerdem wird durch die Weitergabe des vermittelten Wissens sowie die Überlassung des verwendeten Materials der Spaß am Sport nachhaltig gefördert. Somit werden das S el bs tb ew u s st s ei n, soziale Charaktereigenschaften und interkulturelle Kompetenzen aufgebaut und nachhaltig positive gesellschaftliche Ent-

17 OCTOBER 2014

Monthly Monitor: September Black October has kicked off after September's opening act. Investors get the jitters as the dreaded October month arrives, and the reason is in the history books. Market review: The Black October fever started in the September months of 1929, after a period of exceptional growth in the United States (US) and irrational exuberance by investors. Investors felt that the stock market was a one way bet and borrowed money to purchase more and more shares. The market was caught in a speculative bubble. On Black Tuesday, 29th October 1929, companies reported earnings lower

than expected. Share prices started coming down, investors panicked and sold immense volumes of shares in their overreaction. Almost 4 times the usual volume was traded on the New York Stock Exchange that day, much of which was leveraged positions. That was the beginning of the Great Depression. Black October is often associated with stories of investors and traders jumping out of windows

after losing everything. Businesses closed and banks failed. Still today this time of the year is the period with the highest suicide counts. Since 1929, September and October months have been a volatile investment period. The stock market crashes from 1929, 1987, 2001 and 2008 all started in the September and October months. Even in the absence of a full-blown stock market crash, this September the JSE All Share experienced

Table 1: Asset Class Returns (in N$):

Sources: Various Portfolio Performances: Though markets move in random ways over shorter

periods like a month or a quarter, they become more predictable given enough time. Below we show the performances of cash: the

steady thin red line – a proxy for cash and bonds (safety assets) and local shares: the volatile thin brown line – a proxy for

a correction after many months of making record highs. The market is overvalued and investors are starting to doubt the current 6-year bullish trend. At this time of the year portfolio managers rebalance their portfolios and often increased their cash holdings until deciding where to go next once the dust has settled. Shares are often sold in this process until more certainty regarding the markets emerge. See table 1 below for asset class returns over various periods:

the expansion phase, with reducing unemployment and inflation at acceptable levels (1.7%). The Federal Reserve Bank is tasked with the complicated job of removing quantitative easing from the economy in a gradual and efficient manner. Interest rates can be expected to stay low into 2015. · EU The European economy is struggling with stagnation as well as threats of deflation. Interest rates have been lowered further to 0.05% to stimulating consumer demand. Employment is relatively high for the EU and debt levels are rising as lending remains cheap. · China China's significant economic expansion has slowed as the economy undergoes structural reform to secure more sustainable future growth. As a result, GDP growth in China is lower but still robust, and demand, especially for resources and commodities, has declined. The policy reform stems from pressing debt burdens and high inflation is causing price bubbles, especially in the housing sector. · Japan

In a rising interest rate environment, bonds become an unattractive investment. This caused our safer portfolios to lose some momentum, but they are still beating their benchmarks. The Conservative+ portfolio obtained just over 8.0% (benchmark: 8%), the Cautious portfolio re-

turned 9.7% for the year (benchmark: 8.5%) and the Cautious+ portfolio gener a t e d 11 . 2 % r e t u r n s (benchmark: 9%). Slightly riskier portfolios have been gaining from foreign share exposure, as well as the JSE All Share highs throughout the past year. The Moderate portfolio managed to reach

12.3% (benchmark of 9.5%) for the year, whilst the Moderate+ portfolio gave 13.8% (benchmark: 10%). Finally, the Assertive portfolio obtained 15.4% for the year (benchmark: 10.5%). The uncertainty surrounding Black Octobers suggests that portfolio performances in future

cannot be guaranteed nor predicted. We do, however, expect portfolio performances to be lower over the next decade than the exceptional returns we become used to since 2009. Valuations and Risks: · US The US has made a strong growth recovery and is in

In the midst of high debt and inflation levels, Japan has introduced higher sales and consumption taxes in order to contract activity levels. These tax reforms are proving to be useful as Japan's inflation slowed to 3.4% and GDP growth dropped to -0.1%. · SA South Africa is struggling with high unemployment and high inflation especially as supply shortages are pushing up energy prices. These and other factors are taking its toll on economic activity as the GDP growth rate decreased to 1.7%. SA has to keep an eye on stagflation evident in the economy. China's weakened demand is having a noticeable negative effect on SA commodities and resources, despite a recent lower Brent crude price. The SA share market is starting to make corrections as the overvalued asset class buckles under selling pressure. This does not necessarily indicate the end of the bull trend, but rather shows that the market does need to correct its prices in order for company earnings to catch up. · Commodities The commodities market is feeling downward pres-

sure mainly due to lowered demand from China. Precious metals prices have fallen, also due to the strengthening of the USD and lower oil prices. As the US makes a strong reco-very, the demand for gold as a 'safe haven' is reduced. In Conclusion: Whilst the world leader, the US, is making a strong recovery, other parts of the world are not following the trend. After desperate efforts by all Central Banks and Governments to lift their economies out of the recession, damage control is setting in, and it is not without its costs. There is hope that after Black October, investors may experience relatively more certainty regarding the markets.

Birthday boy - Honda Gold Wing turns 40 * Wheels 24 Dave Fall During this month (October 2014) Honda is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its Gold Wing touring-style motorcycle with the announcement of a ‘birthday edition' Wing. That’s

a limited number and some will reach South African showrooms. I well remember the announcement of the landmark Honda Gold Wing back in 1974, which seems more like 100 years ago! 'Out Of The Box' Just five years after

producing their first superbike in 1969, the celebrated CB750 (the very same machine that sounded the death knell for British steeds) Honda once again thought “out of the box” by creating the first long-distance touring bike: the

GL1000 Gold Wing. Shaft drive, a watercooled flat four engine, disc brakes all around - here was a touring bike that set standards of comfort and sophistication previously unheard of. Factor in a low centre-of-gravity 19-litre fuel tank (the conventional tank sited ahead of the dual seat was in fact a dummy), the bike offered an entirely new twist to the definition of high-speed motorcycle touring.

That water-cooled four-stroke alone was to prove a unique selling point all those years ago but the novel ‘Wing’ back then could comfortably cruise at 160km/h all day long.

The entire bike had a relaxed feel about it, at 120km/h the motor loped along at only 4 000rpm. Despite this (and despite the weight and bulk) the bike could still manage close to

200km/h, if pushed. From standstill a 400m sprint saw a time of around 13 seconds, putting the bike in the same class as the rapid Kawasaki 750 Triple and even a Laverda Jota.

Not bad for a machine that tipped the scales at 270kg dry (that means without a full tank of fuel, oils, humans etc). Here To Stay Many owners fitted additional touring equipment such as panniers and hefty fairings with built-in sound systems - the Wing would still

manage to pull like a locomotive. BMW enthusiasts of the day who maintained their aged and staid twin-cylinder, air-cooled Stroke 5 machinery as being de rigueur, dismissed the Wing as a flash in the pan - but the Wing was here to stay. Sales success came easily but the factory

in Japan was considered too small to handle serious production numbers so, in 1981, the plant was moved lock, stock and barrel to the Marysville Motorcycle plant in Ohio, in the US. Interestingly, sales from 1979 to 1999 surpassed a million, with engine sizes also

increasing along the way, ie: 1100cc, 1200cc, 1500cc (sixcylinders for 1988). A major innovation for that year was the addition of a reverse gear that revealed clever use of the electric starter linked to the transmission‌ the Wing was getting heavier and heavier to park.

In 2001 the GL 1800 came into being - the first new model in 13 years. It was fuel-injected but a considerably lighter machine thanks to an all-aluminium frame. Anti-lock brakes were optional; the engine, incidentally developed a car-like 97kW.

Some of the options available to avid owners were GPS, cruise control, heatable dual seat/handlebar grips, adjustable engine air vents (opened and closed

Tears of Hope going strong Sharlien Tjambari Mrs Naftaline Mauha, the founder of Tears of Hope in Swakopmund, this week spoke to the newspaper and shared her story of dedication, hard work and commitment towards a noble cause. After the closing of the New Start Centre, where she was working, all the members parted ways and she decided to start working with vulnerable children and orphans. At that time, the late Mrs Berdine Potgieter, who was employed at the Swakopmund Municipality, had a garden where she grew fruit and vegetables for people living with HIV and AIDS. Naftaline met with Berdine and after sharing her story with Potgieter, the latter committed in helping her, providing food to the children. A German couple, visiting in the country, shared their dream of helping people living in difficult circumstances with Berdine and asked for her to direct them to organisations helping such people. “At the time Berdine could not think of any other organisation than

Tears of Hope, so she brought them to me”, Naftaline commented. When the couple saw me and the situation my kids were in, they sympathised and helped me to look for donations and also sent out letters to different organisations, asking for help, she continued. According to Naftaline the couple's boss, Mrs Jannes Lee of the SACA Charity fund, then flew in to Namibia to further assist her. Mrs Lee brought a bag filled with children clothing along. “She, Jannes, introduced me to other people in Swakopmund who also lend a helping hand”, tells Naftaline. This brave lady said she never planned to open such an organisation. “As I was growing up, I was always helping children in need. At the age of 17 a child was given to me to take care of and that child is now 37 years old”. Naf-

Mrs Naftaline Mauha and volunteer Karin from Sweden taline said they eventually got a piece of land, in order to build a house for the children. They are just waiting for the final touches, before moving in. She operated from her own home for all this years. “I have come to love these children as my own and sometimes I get bad thoughts and ask the Lord what will become of these children should I die one day,” were her words. Naftaline said she gets donations from different people and her kids never go to bed on a

hungry stomach. “I got a lot of these children from their mothers, who were my patients, who died” said Naftaline. The youngest of Naftaline's children is a six month old baby. This baby belongs to one of the children she raised at the institution and who is the oldest of them all, a 24 year old beautiful young lady. About ten of the children are school going. Tears of Hope started off with nothing; they didn't have donors or

funds. Naftaline says she had nobody to assist her with daily chores and her own children had to babysit when she had to go out of town. Naftaline was raised by her grandmother and when she died, she went through hardships and disappointments. That's one reason why Naftaline is encouraged and still moving forward with what she started. Naftaline is a mother to this kids and she said it is always better to help someone while they are alive

rather than running to their grave. The chairperson of Tears of Hope is Dr Smith, with Naftaline as the vice chairperson, Denise Maree is the Secretary. There are other members of Tears of Hope, namely Annelle, Sandra van der Kloog, who is helping in building the house in Mondesa, and additional members are Pearl Grobler, Doreen Mathew and Christo van Rensberg. Tears of Hope was established in 2000.

Team KIA Namibia rider Freyer claims podium position at Cycle Classic MTB race

Team Kia Namibia rider Martin Freyer has put up a solid performance to clinch the third place in the men’s elite category at the Cycle Classic MTB race which took place last Saturday on the southwestern outskirts of Windhoek. Freyer had only recently returned from training camp at the UCI headquarters in Switzerland where he spent nearly one month working on his skill set. Last weekend’s race was won by one of

Martin Freyer

Namibia’s most promising youngsters, Herbert Peters. The new champion finished the 55km long event with a time of 1:58:40 hours. Second-placed Tjipe Murangi clocked in at

2:01:57, while Freyer was a mere half minute adrift (2:02:29). The race was so tightly contested that there were less than five minutes separating the winner from Philip Steyn, who came in

seventh. During the road race the next day, Freyer went on to come in at a respective 15th place. Pascal Marggraff took to top honours in this event after a photo fi-

nish. Meanwhile Johanita de Waal was on top of her game during the ladies 55km race. She finished in 2:24:13 with Antje Tietz (2:29:37) in second and Hester Prins in third place (2:32:35).

SA Mountain bike series does Namibia proud After a series of successful league events of the FNB Namibia Schools Mountain Bike League, presented by Waltons – Pantum Namibia, and hosted both in Windhoek and Walvis Bay/Swakopmund, a squad of 13 riders were selected to participate in the Schools MTB finals held in Magaliesberg, South Africa on 4 and 5 October 2014. Over the two days of exciting mountain biking, the Namibian squad brought home well-earned podium finishes and a wealth of sporting experience. “Considering that most of the Namibian riders had not experienced such a high level of mountain biking, both in skill and attendance, the squad performed well and did Namibia proud”, said Aiden de Lange, organiser of the events. Through both the Saturday and Sunday's events, the racing on the 4,5km was fast, tough and hard. Kayla Pedreiro (u/14

girls) bettered her timing over the two days, with Oliver Ahrens and Charl du Plooy (u/14 boys) taking time from the competition and Josh Lichtman stepping down due to medical reasons. His second day proved tough with a hard crash taking him out of the running. Charl du Plooy ended a successful day two with a bronze podium finish. In the u/16 category, Stephanie Grossmann rode hard on both days to secure her 4th positions, while the boys, Herbert Peters, FC Smith and Marcel Holtz fought hard and

fair. Defending champion, Herbert secured his gold medal on day one, with a copy-paste of his last year’s performance. Day two saw Herbert crash down, putting him over a minute behind the leaders. Hard work and valuable assistance from co-rider FC Smith, saw Herbert holding onto the bronze medal for his category. FC Smith and Marcel Holtz improved their times and positions under the skilled competition. The u/18 girls trio of Lara Winterbach, Hilde Goebel and Daniela Kolb, from Swakop-

mund, performed exceptionally well under the circumstances, with Lara Winterbach staying well within the top ten and both Hilde and Daniela improving on their performances over the weekend. Bringing up the Namibian force in the boys’ u/18 category, Brandon Plaatjies and Erik Kolb, were under pressure, competing against the top school riders of South Africa. A bad crash put an end to Brandon`s dreams for the weekend, while Erik raced well on Saturday with a hard fall, putting a spanner in the works for his Sun-

The squad of 13 Namibian riders day race. In addition to the valuable sponsorship by FNB Namibia and Waltons – Pantum, Bar-One / Milo provided energy cereals and bars while Mannies Bike Mecca was on site to keep the bicycles running in competition form. “In summary, a real-

ly great effort by the squad, with specific mention to the riders from the coastal league who attended this season and the finals for the first time”. The four team managers, Carolin Janik, Francois Smith, Pierre du Plooy and Wynand Holtz, ensured that the plan of action stayed

on track while logging experience for the way forward. With the commitment of support from both FNB Namibia and Waltons - Pantum, the Namibian Schools Mountain Bike League is set to go from strength to strength,” concluded de Lange.

Scenes from the Beginners Tournament

Inline Hockey tournament this weekend The annual Coastal Pirates Inline Hockey tournament will be taking place at the Swakopmund Indoor Sport Centre (SISC) this weekend (17-19 October). This is the final inter-club league tournament, in order to qualify for the NIIHA Championships (Namibian Finals) on the weekend of 31 October, which will also take place in Swakopmund. The Coastal Pirates Inline Hockey Club will be the first Club in the history of inline hockey in Namibia to host their tournament on two courts in the same complex - at the same time, thanks to the assistance of the SISC. In light of the extreme growth of inline hockey in Namibia, NIIHA (Namibian Ice and Inline Hockey Association) is facing a new challenge, which is the fact that more teams are competing in the National League. One weekend on one court is just not enough time to be able to complete the required games, a statement provided to namib times Sport reads. “Some

games always had to be played in Windhoek the week before, which led to the splitting up of tournaments, extra hours and teams having to travel long distances for little playing time”. The Coastal Pirates will venture into new waters this weekend by using two courts. This is a very exciting new development and good experience for National teams, participating internationally, as these tournaments always take place on two to three courts at the same time. Being able to start incorporating this in Namibia will not only help to solve the time problem, but will help to set up

an international feel to tournaments, which will prepare players even better for when they travel abroad. The Coastal Pirates Inline Hockey Club piloted a fun-filled Beginners/ Development Tournament this past weekend and for many players this was their very first experience playing in a tournament environment. A total of 30 players, aging from 6-14, competed in this tournament. There were 4 junior teams and 4 senior teams, which delivered some really close and exciting games. The tournament ended off with a skills competition where the kids could test their scoring abilities.
