Pressure from governmental, trade and other industry members to conform to standards and processes implemented in the hake industry (such as value addition and job creation) are looming on the shoulders of the country’s horse mackerel players. factory and nine fishing vessels.

“Through the help of governmental programmes horse mackerel needs to be processed on-shore to help create thousands of jobs,” Marino expressed the ministry’s agenda.

Forty-nine percent of Tunacor shares, previously belonging to the Spanish fishing company Pescapuerta, has been ‘given back’ to Namibia in the form of share allocation to the Kaumwe Fishing group of companies. “Tunacor is now 100% Namibian owned,” Marino stated. Kaumwe Fishing Group consists of Compass Fishing (a hake rightholder), Tumina Fishing (monk), Ozohi Fishing (hake), Voorbok Fishing (monk), Atab

Yesterday one of the major hake and monk processors in Walvis Bay, Tunacor, has vocalised their support for the fisheries minister’s value addition strategy in the horse mackerel industry.

“The valuation of horse mackerel must follow in the steps of the hake industry,” Antonio Marino, the managing director of Tunacor, said at the company’s ‘Namibianisation’ celebration at the Tunacor factory.

“There are more employees at Tunacor than the entire horse mackerel industry alone,” Marino continued. “So it is quite clear what is employment creation and what is not.”

Tunacor currently employs just under 1 200 employees within their

Adding value and creating jobs in the horse mackerel industry by filleting fish Consortium (hake), Belinda Fishing (monk) and Corvima Group (hake and large pelagic fish).

Recent statements made by industry members, workers unions and the horse mackerel’s governing body, the Midwater Trawling Association (MTA), came as a result of the contentious fishing insert “Oshili nashi Popiwe” (allow the truth to

come out) distributed in a national newspaper over the last few weeks.

The MTA issued a press release on Friday stating that the organisation distances themselves from the views expressed in the inserts published earlier this month. “We would like to set the record straight that the reports in the fishing inserts are not the views of

the collective MTA organisation,” Sharon Neumbo, deputy chair of the MTA, said.

Jerome Mouton, chairman of the MTA and director of Namsov, was not present when Neumbo delivered this message to the press.

Moments leading up to the MTA’s response, the Trade Union Congress of Namibia (TUCNA) slated

the fishing publication as propaganda and, although they themselves could not confirm the publisher of the publication, have identified Namsov as the main instigator of the publication.

“We want to make it categorically clear that we do not agree with the Namsov group of companies and the associate that seems to

Skindertonge maak vrou se lewe hel Marshallino Beukes

“Genoeg is genoeg!” Dit was die woorde van mej Jennifer Wana aan die koerant, nadat sy blykbaar al vir bykans drie jaar onder die tweesnydende swaarde van sommige Swakopmunders moes deurloop.

Mej Wana, wat alreeds vir sewe jaar in die vakansiedorp woon, vertel dat sy die slagoffer van “afgunstige skinderbekke” is, wat blykbaar aanvoer dat sy HIV positief is en ook dat haar vorige mans aan die gevreesde virus oorlede is.

Sy het vandeesweek besluit dat sy genoeg gehad het en dat sy hierdie saak in die ope wil stel, via die namib times. Mej Wana vertel dat die stories begin het nadat haar vorige kêrel twee jaar gelede gesterf het.

Skindertonge wou dit blykbaar hê dat die oorsaak van sy dood Vigs was en sy het sy doodsertifikaat aan die koerant getoon, waarop duidelik aangetoon word dat die oorsaak van sy dood beslis nie Vigs was nie, maar wel ‘n kardiopulmonêre kwaal (hart/long) - Engels: Car-

diopulmonary arrest.

Sy noem voorts dat die pap verder dik gemaak word deur skinderstories wat lui, sy het hom die virus aangesteek en sodoende sy dood veroorsaak. Ook word daar skynbaar vertel dat dit nie haar eerste “man” was, tot wie se dood sy aanleiding gegee het met “haar virus” nie.

Mej Wana noem dat sy nog nooit getroud was nie en dat die oorlede persoon slegs haar kêrel was.

“My sosiale lewe word vernietig, want sodra ek met ‘n mansvriend opgemerk word klap die skindertonge en daardie vriende word agter my rug al die leuens vertel”, sê die hoogs ontstelde dame.

Sy het ook aan namib times bewyse getoon dat sy op 20 Junie 2013 en weer op 14 Julie vanjaar negatief getoets is vir

Mej Wana en mnr Barnabas Kambara MIV/ Vigs.

“Waar kom die mense aan die stories en waarom face hulle my nie en vra wat die ware toedrag van sake is nie?” vra sy.

Die meeste van hierdie karakters weet blykbaar nie eens wat haar naam is nie en noem haar slegs die “lady met die rooi Corsa”.

Die besigheidsvrou het intussen ‘n wit Corsa bakkie aangeskaf.

Saam met haar was Barnabas Kambara, ‘n berader op die gebied van geslagsverwante siektes.

Kambara noem dat die stigma wat steeds, veral rakende Vigs, in gemeenskappe kleef met wortel en tak uitgeroei moet word, aangesien dit baie mense se lewens nadelig beїnvloed. ‘n Zero toelating van diskriminasie en viktimisasie moet aan die dag gelê word en mense moet

leer om mekaar se privaat lewens te respekteer, noem hy.

“Los ander mense se persoonlike lewens uit, bepaal jou by jou eie en indien jy nie iets opbouend van ‘n ander kan sê nie, bly dan liewer stil,” is sy boodskap aan die gemeenskap.

Hy het aangedui dat indien mej Wana wel die virus sou opgedoen het, dit binne ‘n tydperk van drie maande sou toon tydens ‘n roetine opvolg ondersoek, wat nie die geval was nie.

Hy roep ter afsluiting gemeenskappe om nie teenoor persone wat wel die siekte het, te diskrimineer nie.

Hierdie virus tref geen onderskeid tussen verskillende rasse, statusse, etniese groepe, ouderdomme, jou hoeveelheid materiële besittings of jou geslag nie.

Quad bikes cause community uproar Madelaine Laubscher

Recently there have been a few complaints about children riding on their quad bikes during weekends causing noise pollution in certain neighbourhoods that have the Walvis Bay residents raging.

The Chief Traffic Officer of the Walvis Bay Traffic Department, Mr Eben Platt, warned that there are consequences regarding these violations.

“Residents who have a problem with children riding quad bikes in residential areas can contact our emergency numbers.

A traffic officer will assist you. If these children are caught, they face serious consequences.

We will fine the child for not having a licence, as well as the parent for they are the ones allowing it.

In many cases these quad bikes are not even roadworthy or licensed. Both the child and the parent will receive a fine for that violation as well.

You can also call us if you know where these children live and we will pay their parents a visit.

There are certain areas in the dunes where they may

ride their quad bikes. The quad bike must be loaded onto a trailer and transported to those areas in the dunes,” Platt said.

According to one of these upset residents this has been going on for approximately two months if not longer.

“All I can say is I am fed up with these children riding their quad bikes every Saturday and Sunday all day long up and down the street.

I do not even live in Union Street, but in the street next to it thus I cannot even imagine how the people in Union Street must feel by now if the noise is a problem for me.

I am fed up.

My sister in law lives in Meersig and the same happens there. These children have no respect for any one,” an upset resident said.

member of the Walvis Bay Neighbourhood Watch who said “We do receive a lot of these complaints.

People with such a complaint can indeed call us.

We also invite these residents to take photos of these occurrences for evidence.

Usually we give these children a warning and they have to push their quad bikes home.

If the violation is serious, we include the traffic department in which case the children/parents will be fined,” the member said.

Another resident living in Meersig also spoke to the newspaper about this issue.

“We do not know whether it is children or adults riding these quad bikes but

it has become a problem as many people are complaining.

It is a frustration from Saturday to Sunday every weekend as it makes a hell of a noise.

They should ride in the dunes and not in residential areas.

We are not being unreasonable in asking for some quiet time over the weekends. It is the only time we get to rest.

Please consider others. In certain areas there are children playing outside in the street. What if one of those riders loses control over his/her bike and strikes one of those children?

It is the parents’ responsibility to put a stop to this. It is a disturbance of peace,” she complained.

the southern elephant seal).

It is most common in the Southern Hemisphere along the coast of Antarctica and on most sub-Antarctic islands, but can also be found on the coasts of southern Australia, Tasmania, South Africa, New Zealand, Lord Howe Island, Tierra del Fuego, the Cook Islands, and the Atlantic coast of South America.

It can live for 26 years, possibly more. Leopard seals are predators, feeding mainly on other seals, penguins, fish, and krill. Killer whales are the only known, albeit infrequent, natural predators of leopard seals.

Along with all of the other earless seals, it belongs

to the family Phocidae, and is the only species in the genus Hydrurga. The name hydrurga means “water worker” and leptonyx is the Greek for “small clawed”. The leopard seal is large and muscular, with a dark grey back and light grey on its stomach. Its throat is whitish with the black spots that give the seal its common name.

Females are slightly larger than the males.

The overall length of this seal is 2.4 to 3.5 metres and it weighs from 200 to 600 kilograms.

They are about the same length as the northern walrus, but usually less than half the weight. Its front teeth are sharp like

those of other carnivores, but its molars lock together in a way that allows them to sieve krill from the water, in the manner of the crab eater seal.

The leopard seal is a solitary creature and comes together in small groups only when it is time to mate.

Leopard seals are not very vocal, although they occasionally make some grunting and growling noises.

The leopard seal is bold, powerful and curious. In the water, there is a fine line between curiosity and predatory behaviour, and it may ‘play’ with penguins it does not intend to eat. There are also records of leopard seals attacking divers. (Source: Wikipedia)

“All I need is a job to take care of my Lianly” Sharlien Tjambari

Ms Gladys Kuhlmann (35) is an unemployed mother of two beautiful daughters. She tries very hard to accommodate all the needs of her children and what is saddening, is the fact that her eldest daughter was born with disabilities.

Lianly Lieptke is 12 years old and cannot walk or talk.

“The first doctor I took her to in Windhoek told me that my child lacks oxygen.

I didn’t believe in that doctor, so when I got to Swakopmund, I took her to another doctor for a second opinion. He told me that one part of Lianly’s brain was damaged, causing her speaking and working muscles not to function properly”, said Ms Kuhlmann.

They supposedly informed her that Lianly will be able to walk again, if she goes for physic therapy. Lianly currently attends school at Chain, Rössing Foundation. According to Gladys she was working at a service station and had to quit, because there was no one

to take care of her daughter after school.

A list of prescribed food she [Lianly] needs to eat and medication was provided and according to Gladys there is no way she can afford it, since Lianly’s father passed away last year. Lianly can only walk with the help of her mother or younger sister, who is six years old. Gladys and her two daughters moved to Swakopmund two years ago. She said that her only source of income right now is Lianly’s monthly grant of N$250.

“This is too little, because N$50 goes to bank charges and N$100 for Lianly’s monthly school fee. I then still have to buy the prescribed medicine, food and pay my rent,” the ill-fated

Ms Gladys Kuhlmann and her two daughters Lianly (12) and Chloé (6) mother continued.

Gladys, who is currently living in Swakopmund’s Mondesa suburb with family friends, urges good Samaritans to please come to her aid. “All I need is a job. I want to be able to raise my precious daughters. I am a very hard working lady and very flexible, can anyone please help me with a job so that I can be able to buy my daughter's prescriptions,” she concluded.

Can horse mackerel follow hake’s footsteps?

try and hijack the effort of the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources to add value to horse mackerel fish,” said Paulus Hango, the president of TUCNA. “Although the company is making billions of dollars, workers of Namsov remain in poverty. The company has failed to even build houses for the seamen,” Hango continued.

Various fishing companies have been producing value added horse mackerel products such as canned fish, filleted steaks, smoked

fish and even fish soup.

However, many horse mackerel industry members still need to follow the minister’s initiative of value addition and job creation on land. In August this year industry members expressed their concerns over government regulations that have been implemented in the hake industry being ‘forced’ onto the horse mackerel industry.

The production processes of horse mackerel are completely different to that of the hake production market, stakeholders explained

at a meeting with the Namibian Standards Institution (NSI). “The model for hake cannot be copied and pasted into the horse mackerel industry,” one representative said.

Concerns of value additions negatively affecting exports of horse mackerel, traditionally a low-cost source of protein have been raised by industry members. “Horse mackerel exports are, by nature, volume driven as it is the staple protein food source for many African countries,” a stakeholder explained.

Attorneys’ fees set to increase in October Jade McClune

Given the constantly rising cost of legal services it is becoming increasingly difficult, if not impossible, for ordinary people to defend themselves before the courts.

poned to 15 October.

The accused is in custody.

Joseph Kamunwa (27) appeared on a charge of assault.

Magistrate Vicky Nicolaidis found the accused guilty and gave a sentence of 90 days imprisonment or a fine of N$800.

Aorian Kandjele (38) appeared on a charge of theft. Magistrate Vicky Nicolaidis found the accused guilty and gave a sentence of 30 days imprisonment or a fine of N$400.

Immanuel Ndjube Ndara (32) appeared on a charge of possession of a firearm without a license.

Magistrate Vicky Nicolaidis found the accused guilty and gave a sentence of 60 days imprisonment or a fine of N$500.

A well-placed source at the Law Society of Namibia (LSN) confirmed this week that legal fees are set to increase again at the end of September, but they would not specify by how much the legal tariffs are due to increase.

It was only said that the adjustment would be in line with the rate of inflation.

In 1990 it cost a mere N$100 per hour for consultations with an attorney, to settle affidavits and take instructions, or provide legal advice.

Today an attorney can charge an eye-watering N$1 256 for a half-hour or less for such consultations, for appearing in court and for drafting or perusing documents.

That is N$2 512 per hour, as well as requiring a signficant cash deposit in advance.

A telephone call from an attorney will cost N$126 for every five minutes or less, while a letter costs N$75 per page. In 1990 it cost only N$2.50 for a letter.

Today an attorney may also charge N$201 for every page that he says he looked at, as well as N$419 for every half hour of travel.

An officer at the Registrar of the High Court in Windhoek, Mr Bezuidenhout said that the cost of applying for rescission of judgment in the High Court has also increased from N$200 to N$5 000.

Bezuidenhout said that

the new tariff for such applications, where a judgment was granted on the basis of an unopposed application, had to be increased due to rising costs of legal services.

Critics of the new tariff structure have pointed out that the legal tariffs make it extremely difficult and costly, if not downright impossible for poorer people to approach the courts, which in turn facilitates the abuse of court procedures to the benefit of the wealthy.

The precarious state of affairs within the lower courts was also highlighted this month during an incident before the Magistrate’s Court in Swakopmund, where a defendant in a civil matter

was not called into the courtroom at the start of the hearing, with the result that the plaintiff was able to secure a summary default judgment, without the defendant having an opportunity to bring their side before court.

The defendant was left waiting in the corridor, while the default judgment was granted in favour of the attorneys.

Speaking off the record, a senior magistrate said afterwards that unlike criminal cases, where the accused is given every opportunity and legal aid to defend themselves, the courts cannot protect people in civil matters, even when there is evidence of unfairness: “Civil law is just not fair,” she said.

North Harbour project to kick off next year All indications are that the start of construction on the North Harbour project outside Walvis Bay will be brought forward to allow work on the new port to start in 2015, a year before the scheduled date.

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?

Namport also aims to construct the largest bulk storage terminal in southern Africa, with a handling-capacity to handle 100 million tonnes of per year. The planned container terminal will be able to handle around 2 million TEU’s per year.

The north harbour will add an additional 1 330 hectares (13.3km²) to the existing port infrastructure, with a 10 000 m quay wall and 30 large berths.

During phase 1, work will start on a tanker jetty capable of accommodating two 60 000 tonnes DWT Tankers at a time. Mr /Uirab previously said the tanker jetty would be beneficial to the mining industry and will enhance the port’s capacity to sup-

ply fuel to local mining operations. A new shipand rig-repair facility (Marine Repair and Supply Base) will also be a key component of the north harbour project.

The Namibia Petroleum Corporation (Namcor) announced in mid-July that the N$4 billion tender for the construction of a bulk fuel storage facility that will be able to accommodate at least two 60 000 tonne tankers at a time, was awarded to a joint venture company, including the Roads Contractor Company and China Harbour Construction Engineering Company.

The latter was also contracted to build the new terminal on reclaimed land to the south of the existing harbour.

Mr Gelderbloem explained that the new port would be linked to the planned Industrial Park behind Dune 7 and would be linked by a 10 - 15km railway line or a conveyor belt.

The planned Dune 7 Industrial Park has been made available by the Municipality for use by heavy and noxious industries.

The planned North Port development will include amongst other facilities, the largest ship and rig repair yard on the west African coast, with the aim of providing comprehensive services to the emerging oil and gas industry.

It is understood that central government will finance the construction of the tanker berth and bulk storage facility, as this will help secure the country’s strategic oil reserves.

The new port will also accommodate a liquid bulk terminal for the storage of fuel, estimated to cost around N$4 billion. There is already high-level commitment to begin construction of a liquid bulk terminal that will have the capacity to accommodate a large oil tanker berth, Port Engineer Elzevir Gelderbloem explained.

The first phase will include the installation of petroleum pipelines and a 75-million litre oil storage depot.

Mr Uirab said that with all the ongoing developments within the oil

Obtaining Fishing

Obtain a permit from the Namibian Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources (MFMR) to catch fish or dive for crayfish and respect harvesting limitations.

The project is a major component in the Namibia Ports Authority’s (Namport) strategy of positioning the Port of Walvis Bay as a premier import and export destination for the sub-Saharan region and locals are hopeful that the new port, also known as the Southern Africa Development Community Gateway (SADC) Port, will boost the regional economy and create thousands of much-needed jobs.

Namport revealed in July that the SADC Gateway Port could cost up to N$30 billion to construct and construction would start already in 2014. Namport CEO Mr Bisey Uirab said at the time that “The North Harbour project is becoming a reality,” noting that the Ports Authority’s other major project, the expansion of the container terminal on reclaimed land, is already “a done deal.”

dumping site?

I found this ID document & voters card in my street - 11th street in central Walvis Bay near the Old Age Home and Municipality.

I gave it to a police inspector and the person can pick it up at the po-

lice station in town.

You can contact me on cell: 081 337 3669 if

you require any further information.

The namib times recently received various complaints about Narraville becoming inundated with dumping areas and that attempts to have it cleaned have proved futile so far.

Helen Christensen Disgusting! U see it all around the reeds in Meersig too. People with no respect for themselves, others and Nature.

Ashley Skhokho Saban So where is the municipality to clean this

up?

Harold Mrmagic Davids NO! You gotta understand the dynamics of this all! Some developers (of whom are known to me) use this to acquire land!

They instruct people not living there nearby to dump their rubbish at these site so they can justify their proposals to council when they offer silly amounts of money to purchase these lands!

Chippa unleashes Experience count Ivan “Chippa” Nauyoma, a local Kwaito-Funk artist, is well on his way to make a name for himself in the music industry and is about to release his second album “Experience count”.

29 I-pads ‘donated’ to cabinet

Namibia’s telecommunications company MTC donated 29 I-pads to the Namibian Cabinet in Windhoek last week Tuesday. Nangula Mbako, Permanent Secretary in the Office of the Prime Minister, who received the donations on behalf of the Cabinet expressed appreciation and profound gratitude to MTC for their partnership with the Cabinet.

Allan Roodt Love how ‘donated’ is in quotes.

If we are a leading country in terms of technology then why is our internet services so expensive compared to South africa?

A 4Mbps ADSL line costs about R200 there and Telecom over here have such dismal customer service

its not worth mentioning.

Kariseb Mudani Wulf Why not give it to Namcol students to do research and such to make sure that their grades improve...lotta butt kissing in Namibia! Wie wrri anyway!

Nadine Correia Who asks for a lift of people you want to run away from? Makes no sense what the children say.

Egon Jankowski Aaa tell me if im wrong your innocent untill proven guilty or guilty untill proven innocent. This is

a tragic situation but let us give our legal system a chance to do its job.

Personal opinion is if I was tortured like that I wouldn’t run and not ask lift home.

I would go to police station after getting my realitives. My parents would demand that they be arrested that night.

I can't say that they were tortured like the kids version I was not there.

But I know if I was po-

lice officer and those kids was severly tortured came to my station the culprits would be locked up within the hour.

DeWet Mouton If my child came home and told me what was done to him, I would shoot first and ask questions later. If I can’t protect him from evil who will?!

Marcellino Caesar Martin They are not right in their head the story can be twisted n

turned for their liking but they have no right to torture kids.

Pieter van Niekerk I would like to please remind the users of this page that since this is a public platform that your remarks and comments are visible to everyone and that we should try and refrain from using vulgar language even if you try and disguise it.

To the lady in question, firstly as a lady and

mother I would not have thought that such language would cross your lips.

I do hope that your child/ children not suffer the same verbal abuse at home.

Secondly such comments might be construed as slander and I hope for your sake that Advocate Shakespeare Masiza does not pick up on this comment of yours.

Thirdly those “ fools, as

you put it might be evil” but they do deserve the right to a fair trial according to the Namibian Constitution and will remain innocent until proven guilty by the Namibian Legislative System and should they be found guilty they will get their due punishment.

And lastly, please remember that when we use the media as our source of information that we should always

try and read articles objectively and make comments objectively using facts once we have both sides of the story.

Economic trends: trade deficit grows and saving decline The Namibian economy is estimated to have recorded a respectable growth rate of 5.1 per cent during 2013, but the drop in savings has raised eyebrows among close observers of the economy.

Notwithstanding a severe drought and sluggish global economic environment, the Namibian economy is estimated to have recorded a respectable growth rate of 5.1 per cent during 2013.

This better than expected performance, was attributed to the secondary and tertiary industries that recorded growths of 7.6 per cent and 8.1 per cent, respectively.

The secondary industries growth was mainly driven by a booming construction sector on the back of improved activity in the mining and public sectors whereas the tertiary sector growth can be attributed to a strong performance by the wholesale, motor and retail sector.

In the primary sector, agriculture recorded a decline, which resulted in a contraction of the sector by 6.6 per cent.

The agricultural sector declined by 27.5 per cent owing to one of the worst droughts in recent memory.

However, both the fishing recovered to record 2.5 per cent while the mining sector recorded marginal growth of 0.6 per cent.

Gross National Disposable Income (GNDI) stood at N$140.6 billion in 2013 as compared to N$ 116.9 billion recorded in 2012.

The increase in the GNDI can be ascribed to the increase in current transfers that is caused

by SACU revenue recording N$ 14.5 billion in 2013. Real per Capita Gross National Income for 2013 recorded a growth of 9.5 per cent compared to 8.6 per cent registered in 2012.

Gross Savings only recorded an increase of 5.7 per cent and stood at N$ 22.1 billion during the period under review.

The savings recorded for 2013 was lower than the investment that stood at N$ 32.5 billion.

The balance of external goods and services deficit widened from N$ 17.6 billion to N$ 22.8 billion.

The increase in the deficit is owed to the import of goods and services that increased by 20.7 per cent in 2013 while exports of goods and services only increased by 17.4 per cent.

Inflation declines slightly, but food prices remain volatile Overall inflation for August 2014 slowed to 5.4 percent from 5.6 percent recorded a month earlier.

The annual inflation rate for August 2014 stood at 5.4 percent as compared to 5.6 percent recorded a month earlier. On a monthly basis, the inflation rate increased to 0.3 percent from 0.2 percent in the previous month.

The annual decline in inflation was primarily on account of base effects, as well as price declines in a number of food category sub-items, and a decline in the cost of operation of personal transport equipment following fuel price decreases.

On a monthly basis, the increase resulted from higher recorded prices in most groups comprising National Consumer Price Index. The all items index for August 2014 stood at 109.4 as compared to 103.8 in August 2013.

The food and non-alcoholic beverages category of inflation is a key driver of inflation in Namibia due to the fact that it tends to be fairly volatile, usually above average inflation, and represents a large weight in the overall basket.

As of August, the category's annual inflation stood at 8.6 percent, following a 0.3 percent increase on monthly basis. The increase in food prices were recorded in most of the subgroups except those of oils and fats (2.5 percent), vegetables including potatoes and other tubers (1.3 percent) and fruits (0.8 percent).

An additional driver of inflation is the category of Transport, which represents 14.28 percent of the overall basket, and as of August 2014, experienced 7.1 percent increase in prices when compared to the same period of 2013. This increase has been largely driven by increases in the public transportation services.

Namibian Archers to compete in Egypt The Archery Association of Namibia (AAN) is sending four archers to compete in the African Championships in Luxor, Egypt from 10 - 13 October.

The prestigious event will also include the 2nd African Open International Tournament.

Namibia’s team will be headed by AAN president Frank Bockmühl.

The AAN will send some of its most promising archers, all

of whom have qualified for the tournament through their respective rankings.

Among them is Xander Reddig of Tsumeb who became the first Namibian archer to have ever competed at the Youth Olympic Games which

took place in China last month.

Although Reddig didn’t manage to get past the first knockout phase in China, he gained invaluable experience that will benefit him now and in the years to come.

Reddig will be the only Na-

Elisabeth Taljaard, who will travel to Egypt with her three team mates

mibian to battle it out in the Recurve division.

The other three team members, Beanta Viviers, Liezl Schoeman and Elisabeth Taljaard, will compete in the Women’s Compound division.

Stefan Jacksch and his golf buddy Johnny G were having fun, while working up a bit of a sweat as well, on the Walvis Bay golf course on Saturday.

According to Stefan, Johnny was the best dressed player on the green that day, seeing that his clothes were all “handmade”, while Stefan himself was showing “some leg”. Players must remember that tomorrow is “National

Braai Day” and that they should rock up at the club to show their skills at the fire. It’s Mutual and Federal Saturday with individual Stableford.

The wind is expected to be calm and everybody is advised to get their names in as great

prizes are up for grabs.

Anton van Rensburg reported that next weekend is the FNB Coastal Open.

The course will be closed as from 12:00 next Friday for preparations.

They need a volunteer to help with the start-

ing. It is a full day’s work for Saturday and Sunday, helping to see the players start on time, making sure they do not spend too much time in the club and sending them off on their respective rounds. Please contact Anton if you can help.

NDF remains force in volleyball

NDF defeat students as SKW struggles

The Namibia Defense Volleyball (NDF) Club remained a force to beat in the Bank Windhoek National Volleyball league after beating the University of Namibia (Unam) Volleyball team in the ladies league last weekend. lost steam to win the game 3-1.

The SKW coach expressed his satisfaction with his team, but said it was not convincing as his ladies were over-confident in their match against Unam. He said they will go back and work on their mistakes. On the other hand, the students' coach was overwhelmed with the way his ladies played and hoped that they will still be confident and motivated to play in the next games.

In the Men’s league, the games were played in Walvis Bay. In the first game of the day, Khomas Nampol Volleyball Coub (KNVC) played against the Navy. The first set was easily won by KNVC 25:11 and it seemed as if the runner-up in the log standing would have an easy walk over to win the game.

However, the Navy put all their energy in winning the next set as KNVC struggled to find a way to block the spikes of the Navy lefthander, Sakeus Nashikuku. The Navy player who was on the “diagonal position” performed very well in the reception of the services from KNVC. They eventually won the set 25:17. This woke up the KNVC side, who then doubled their effort and used their best player, Rehabeam Hengari to win both sets.

The national player could not be stopped with his spikes from the net and from the second line. Hengari is an extraordinary player, who can be the playmaker, but also motivate his team to play their best.

The second game of KNVC versus Eleven Warriors Volleyball Club (EWVC) was no challenge for KNVC as they won the game in straight sets 3:0.

In another encounter,

EWVC also had a tough time against the Navy as the former did not give EWVC a chance to win a set. R Ngozu from EWVC who normally plays as a setter, played an outside attacker in the second and third set, which gave the Navy a lot of problems.

However, he got tired at the end of the sets and the Navy team won the game 3:0.

Below are the full results and log standing:

Stefan and Johnny G showing off

NDF won their game in comfortable straight sets to remain strong contenders to take the 2014 national league. The army side started at a slow pace with the students leading the first 5 points before experienced blocker, Sylvia Newaya, went to serve and bring the army side back in the game to take the set. Meanwhile, SKW struggled to beat a rejuvenated Unam team which came in the game with nothing to lose after a 3-0 defeat by NDF. The over experienced SKW team took the first set in a fashionable and easy way, while the second set saw Unam breaking the history of taking a set against SKW, when experienced coach, Kamwi Sezuni, showed his opponent how strong and determined his team is, by introducing Nomsa Gabela and Mukuka (cookie) Chishimba.

Both players came in with good blocks, which stopped the experienced attackers of SKW. Mukuka came in with fine spikes which encouraged the SKW coach to introduce his experienced player, Elina Viejo, who stopped the students from celebrating the first set they took from SKW. In the third and fourth set, SKW showed why they are champions as the log leaders showed no mercy and defeated the students who
