Staff Reporter After demonstrating in front of Namport and the premises of China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) camp this week, Namibian workers have been suspended from the harbour project on Wednesday giving them 48 hours to prepare for a hearing that will be held at their premises today at 10:00.

With the camp project coming to an end (originally intended for end September) many camp workers are now worried that they would be left without employment starting October.

The namib times spoke to various workers, Namport and members from CHEC. “The contract between Namport and CHEC covers wage and employment agreements,” Elzevir Gelderbloem, port engineer at Namport confirmed. “However, the ex-

act stipulations of the contract are confidential, but the contract does require CHEC to follow local industry best practice on labour issues, and it goes without saying, that all the applicable laws of Namibia must be adhered to,” Gelderbloem continued.

“CHEC will follow the Namibian law and Labour Act to deal with this strike,” Aaron Hsu, deputy project manager for CHEC, told the newspaper.

“The strike was an illegal

strike, hence all 70 employees who participated in the illegal strike got suspended and were notified of their disciplinary hearing date,” Hsu continued.

Investigations are still underway, however, workers made serious allegations about one of the site managers working in the harbour area, Zu-Ling Rui, and suspicions arose over the role that the human resources (HR) division, Afrisay Group Holdings, play in the company.

Moordenaars steeds op vrye voet Marshallino Beukes

Ongeveer drie maande is verstreke na die sinnelose moord op Steven Eigab, in Swakopmund se Mondesa woonbuurt en dit blyk asof die ondersoek ‘n doodloopstraat bereik het.

Eigab is met ‘n mes doodgesteek, nadat ‘n stryery tussen hom en ‘n vriend blykbaar ontstaan het.

Die oorledene het op die toneel beswyk en die vermeende aanvaller het op die vlug geslaan.

Inligting dui daarop dat die verdagte wel bekend aan die polisie is, maar dit tog regkry om die lang arm

Steven Eigab se gebroke ouers tydens sy begrafnis van die gereg te ontduik.

Volgens ‘n familielid van die oorledene kry hulle geen terugvoering van die betrokke ondersoekbeampte nie, ten spyte van hul pogings om tot hulp te wees met die ondersoek.

Daar word beweer dat die verdagte homself in Windhoek bevind en hierdie inligting is blykbaar aan die

polisie verskaf, maar geen aksie word skynbaar in die verband geneem nie. ‘n Moedelose en gebroke mev Sophia Eigas (56), oorlede Steven se moeder, het vandeesweek die koerant besoek en haar teleurstelling in die manier waarop die saak hanteer word, uitgespreek.

Namib High School doen dit in styl Marshallino Beukes Matrikulante van Namib High School in Swakopmund het die verrassing van hul lewens gekry, nadat hul amptelike uitnoding na hul matriekafskeid deur ‘n valskermspringer van Swakopmund Skydiving Club afgelewer is.

All Banking Systems Down at Standard Bank Namibia Marshallino Beukes

Many Standard Bank customers in Namibia were frustrated and confused when the bank’s electronic system went offline across the country yesterday morning.

The bank’s PR & Corporate Communication Manager issued a statement today to announce that ‘An infrastructure related incident caused our entire banking system and other electronic chan-

nels to go down.

“Please note that customers on Business On Line (BOL) can access and transact all functionalities.

“Our IT Team has identified the problem and is addressing it on

an urgent basis. Standard Bank Namibia sincerely apologises for the inconvenience caused by this incident and we are considering all options available to make up for the inconvenience.”

Hierdie unieke inisiatief is deur skoolouers, wat op die skool se Matriekafskeid Beplanningskomitee dien geneem en was beslis ‘n eerste vir enige skool in die land, indien nie die wêreld nie.

Die skool se matriekafskeid gaan op 24 Oktober gehou word en hierdie beloof om nog meer opwindend en vol verras-

sings te wees.

Die leerlinge gaan by Live It vir ‘n skemerkelkie vergader, waarna hulle na ‘n geheime bestemming geneem gaan word.

Nie een van die matrikulante dra tot hede kennis van presies waar hierdie bestemming is nie en dit gaan beslis die “cherrie on top” wees.

Sunday’s blackout: Erongo RED explains Erongo RED told members of the press that they will no longer accept planned outages from NamPower without the Anixas power station being available to carry the electrical load.

This came after the planned power outage from 07:00 to 12:00 of Sunday turned into an outage that lasted the entire Sunday (from morning until evening) and early Monday morning in some areas such as such as Kuisebmond, Narraville,

Langstrand etc. One of the power lines should have been available from 13:00 according to NamPower’s notification which, together with Anixas, would have been sufficient to supply to Walvis Bay. Unfortunately, NamPower experienced technical pro-

sies wie my kind vermoor het, maar dit lyk nie asof hulle enige moeite doen om geregtigheid te laat seëvier nie,” sê sy.

Talle ooggetuies het op die betrokke dag die tragedie waargeneem en waarom leidrade nie opgevolg word nie is ‘n ope vraag.

“Is ons polisie onbekwaam om hierdie tipe sake te ondersoek en op te los, of word hulle dalk omgekoop?” is gevra.

Hierdie is nie die enigste moordsaak wat ‘n raaisel bly nie, nadat die moordenaar/s van Bronita Boois (15) ook steeds sy/ hul vryheid geniet.

Boois is op 15 Desember

verlede jaar naby Shalom Parish Church in Agaat Straat, Kuisebmond, met ernstige kopbeserings in die straat gevind.

Sy het dieselfde dag in die Walvisbaai Staatshospitaal aan die wonde beswyk.

Ook in hierdie geval is talle leidrade wat opgevolg kon word.

In nog ‘n onopgeloste moordsaak, is die oorskot van ‘n 13-jarige dogtertjie, Rachel Boois, gedurende Mei vanjaar in ‘n halfgeboude huis in Hentiesbaai gevind.

Sprake dat sy ook verkrag was, het die rondte gedoen.

die Swakopmund Rotary Club met die aanvang van die 2014 akademiese jaar, staal-kaste ter waarde van ±N$ 100 000 aan die koshuis geskenk het.

Hierdie kaste, wat as hangkaste vir die kinders gedien het, is ook vernietig in die brand. Die koshuis huisves ‘n totaal van 120 kinders, wat by verskillende skole in die dorp studeer. Drie-en-veertig van hierdie leerlinge is seuns en daar is vandees-

week verneem dat die seuns steeds verplig is om in twee klaskamers te slaap. Onvoldoende fondse blyk die probleem te wees en ‘n Fonds is intussen geopen om finansies te in vir die herbou van die koshuis. In ‘n amptelike brief vra die koshuis bestuur vir barmhartige Samaritane (gemeenskap, besighede en owerhede) om hulle in hul uur van nood by te staan en by te dra tot die fonds.

ing meetings regarding employees’ complaints and concerns two weeks ago, with all of our top managers including acting project manager, deputy project managers and assistant project managers as well as all our HR teams and HR from Namport participating in the meeting,” Hsu said.

“An average of 5 - 6 hours per month has been omitted from my payslip since April, which I estimate to be around 30 - 50 hours that I did not get renumerated for from then until now. What happened to those hours? Does Afrisay get some of our hours as commission, similar to what may happen if an employment agency gets commission from workers?” a worker, who preferred to stay anonymous, asked.

“AfriSay Group Holdings is not a labour hire agent and only provides human resources consultancy services to CHEC,” Hsu said.

“They do not receive any commission from workers. AfriSay Group is contracted by CHEC and the company pays a monthly retainer fee directly to AfriSay Group Holdings.”

When asked how hours and payments keeps track of time CHEC explained that “the employee and supervisor checks and signs timesheets on a daily basis.”

According to workers, site

manager Rui has allegedly been swearing and threatening Namibian workers making it very clear that if either of the workers belonged to a union that their contracts will not be renewed. According to the source the same site manager was the reason why more than 13 Namibians lost their jobs by the end of August, when their month-to-month contract came to an end. “If the problem was the Namibian workers why does only one site manager (at the harbour) have a problem with us and the other site managers work fine with us?” one worker asked.

“Sometimes communication between Chinese supervisors and local workers are not properly conducted due to the cultural differences of both countries,” Hsu explained.

“CHEC has organised and arranged sufficient and professional trainings upon our Chinese supervisors to assure the coordination work is conducted smoothly and properly. CHEC had a training course with our supervisors to be familiar with the local law and Labour Act, and scheduled another course regarding to the differences between Chinese culture and Namibian culture,” he said.

Apparently workers did not receive any warnings prior to being notified

that they were being dismissed.

Afrisay allegedly responded by saying that they cannot do anything as CHEC was both the HR consultancy and the workers’ employer. If you do not work according to the Chinese they must find other work, members said they were allegedly told.

They were also told that certain phases of construction require certain jobs as well, workers were told.

“We work on different phases of the project at the moment and the specific person’s skill is needed for a specific period of time,” Hsu confirmed.

According to workers, the Namibians who were dismissed due to the ending of their contracts have now been replaced by Chinese ‘general workers’.

Job positions such as welders, electricians, forklift-drivers and even general workers are being filled by Chinese nationals, according to workers.

Before the strike broke out, workers were allegedly told that all welder positions, will from now on, only be filled by Chinese.

Originally semi-skilled workers such as plumbers, electricians etc were employed at N$20 ph, however, after their jobs were threatened by Chinese replacements, certain semiskilled workers accepted working at the N$13.26

blems. NamPower assigned a team from Windhoek to investigate who restored power to the entire Walvis Bay at around 03:30 on Monday. However by 06:40 the electricity tripped again but the team were able to restore power within the

next hour. Nampower has apologised for the events and give assurance that they will be investigating.

Erongo RED insisted that no planned power outages will be accepted in future without the Anixas power station being fully operational.

Continued from page 1 ph that general workers receive. Tax allegedly gets deducted from each worker, even if they are employed on a monthto-month basis and even though they are not registered for tax (do not have a tax registration number).

“CHEC must abide by the relevant laws such as the labour law and CHEC should follow local industry best practice in terms of wages,” Gelderbloem confirmed.

“Currently there are about 100 Namibian employees and over 300 Chinese employees, many of whom are doing unskilled and semiskilled work,” a worker said.

“There are no limits on the amount of workers required in the agreement between Namport and CHEC, however all unskilled and semiskilled labour must be sourced from within Namibia,” Gelderbloem continued.

The workers union, Metal and Allied Namibian Workers Union (MANWU), have had discussions with CHEC, however, they stated at the time of going to press that they will not be able to comment until the final meeting has taken place.

According to workers they were told by the HR division that they would be employed on a probational period of three months in March, after which an opportunity of being em-

ployed on a contract basis for a year would exist prior to starting work with the company in March. Instead, the majority of the workers (with the exception of a few Namibians) have been reinstated either on a three month or a month-to-month basis.

“The duration of the whole project is about three years, all the contracts CHEC signed with employees are less than three years, thus, there is no permanent contract, only fixed term contract,” Hsu said.

“The company signed fixed contracts with every employee for a certain contract period,” Hsu explained. “Depending on the work involved, level of skilled required and on the expected duration of that specific task, some of the contracts are for three months, six months and one year duration. Most of the general workers got three months contracts simply due to the amount of general work required during this time in the project schedule.” Meetings with the trade union, AfriSay and the company has been ongoing, however, at the time of going to press, a resolution of terms have not yet been met. When asked whether CHEC feels that a resolution would be reached Hsu confidently answered “We have no doubt that a resolution will be reached.”

Workers meeting to discuss their concerns

GRN workers prepare to challenge NAPWU Jade McClune There are signs of trouble brewing within the ranks of the ministries of education, health and defence, as workers on the lower end of the pay-scale are preparing for protest action, aimed firstly at the union that is supposed to represent them.

At a meeting held in Swakopmund on Saturday a number of institutional workers, including cleaners, caretakers, matrons and labourers gathered at the office of the Namibia Public Workers Union (NAPWU) to discuss their concerns.

One of the leading shop stewards, who preferred to stay anonymous, said there is strong support from the workers' side. The aggrieved workers are mainly based in the education ministry, but are joined by members of the defense force, health workers and regional council employees.

They sent a letter outlining their grievances to NAPWU's regional coordinator, Mr John Ngolombe, at the end of July, but received no response to date.

The workers strongly suspect their concerns are being suppressed and are planning a mass demonstration against the union leadership at NAPWU's office in Swakopmund on Friday.

"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 are demanding a basic salary of at least N$8 000 for cleaners: "We can't afford to buy houses as we are underpaid. We are not invited to workshops. We are not invited to take part in sports activities," they wrote.

"The discrimination is still like in the apartheid era. People in the offices are the only ones that can pursue further studies", whereas cleaners are denied such opportunities.

"There is no promotion system for cleaners. We can't get study loans or advice... Once a cleaner, always a cleaner."

The letter to NAPWU followed a decision by the affected workers on 5 July to bring their concerns to the attention of the Prime Minister through the official channels of the union.

At that meeting, they decided to take further action over low wages, discrimination, lack of promotion and what they termed corruption in the appointment and promotion of staff.

They also allege that there is corruption in the appointment of government staff: "Some of the vacancies in our office are internal, but they don't notify all workers." The workers say that jobs and promotions are reserved for "family members" of managers "and certain ethnic groups".

The cleaners are also worried that they work with dangerous chemicals on a daily basis, but do not get adequate health and safety training: "Where will we get training?" they asked. We are "overloaded with work and if you complain to the principal, they tell you to go to NAPWU and tell them."

They are also unhappy that other employees are allowed to work overtime, but not cleaners in the education sector: "We also have a lot of work, but are not allowed to work overtime," or on weekends. Cleaners are also required to do maintenance work without any payment, they said.

Asked about the allegations, Mr Ngolombe said NAPWU is aware of the issue and participated in the meeting last Saturday. He has forwarded the workers' letter to NAPWU head office in Windhoek and is awaiting a response from headquarters, he said.

He also confirmed that institutional workers on the lowest end of the payscale received a 10% increase earlier this year.

"Nobody came to me to let me know (about mistreatment). It is not the job of the union to sniff out every problem. They should tell us, so that we can deal with the issues and investigate."

Regarding the alleged mistreatment, he said no-one reported the issue: "At the moment these are still rumours. We have no details, about where and when this took place, but there is no way we would tolerate the mistreatment of workers 24 years after independence."

There are indications that workers are mobilising in other regions to put pressure on NAPWU, which is affiliated to the ruling party. The workers' demonstration against the union leadership in the Erongo region is set to start at 16:00 on Friday.

The body being removed from the crime scene

Murder in broad daylight Madelaine Laubscher

A young man was stabbed to death in Walvis Bay in Meersig on Tuesday after an altercation over goods that he allegedly stole from the suspect, resulted in murder.

The namib times arrived at the scene while police officers were busy investigating the scene where the body of the deceased, Mr Zabian Bauwers (19), was discovered at approximately 10:30.

Nampol inspector Erastus Iikuyu told the newspaper on Wednesday that it is suspected that after a confrontation between the

suspect and the deceased occurred, a fight started, resulting in Bauwers being stabbed.

“The suspect, Mr Ricardo Maasdorp (28), was arrested. He had an argument with the deceased over goods that were allegedly stolen on a previous occasion.

From that a fight transpired and Bauwers was stabbed

with a knife. He died on the scene. His next of kin had been informed,” Iikuyu said.

According to Iikuyu both parties involved were destitute members of the community.

Maasdorp has been charged with murder and appeared in the Magistrate's court yesterday morning.

Commissioner Samuel //Hoëbeb with some of the recovered goods

Black-out burglars arrested Madelaine Laubscher

Nampol recently had a breakthrough after arresting six suspects for burglary at a local business in Walvis Bay on Sunday night while the electricity was off, stealing N$87 000 worth of merchandise.

According to the Nampol Regional Commander, Commissioner Samuel //Hoëbeb, the burglary occurred at Ellerines Furniture and it is suspected that the burglary that occurred at Supatronix at a previous occasion recently, involved these same suspects.

“We tried our best to prevent any criminal activities during that night due to the power outage.

However the suspects cut through the roof of Elle-rines with the use of a cutting torch and stole contents to the value of N$87 000,” he said.

According to him these stolen goods include seven LG flat screen televisions, two Samsung flat screen televisions and one Tek flat screen television.

They also stole four Tek home theatre speakers, one LG mini hi-fi system speaker, one Samsung DVD home entertainment system, two Tek channel home theatre systems,

three Tek subwoofer speakers, one LG mini hifi system, two Sony home theatre systems, and one Samsung subwoofer speaker with a remote.

They also stole items of which the owners must still be contacted.

These include two Acer laptops with a bag, a laptop charger, an E-Book reader, a portable DVD player, a Samsung Galaxy Tab and a Canon printer.

A truck was also impounded that is suspected to have transported the stolen goods from the scene to a certain Kuisebmond resident’s garage for storage. The six culprits were arrested in Kuisebmond on Tuesday.

The manager of Ellerines said they only learnt about the burglary on Monday morning. “Due to the power outage the backup battery ran out thus the alarm was not activated and the suspects gained entry through the roof.

We are very happy that the items have been recovered. We would have suffered a great loss if it was not recovered,” he said.

Commissioner //Hoëbeb said at first it was suspected that the culprits were not from the Erongo region, but the police soon learnt that they are indeed local community members.

“Some of these suspects were also active in card cloning. I am very proud of our investigators and the Narraville neighbourhood watch.

Thank you for your commitment. We express our deepest gratitude to the community and most of all the investigators.

We want to believe that as long as criminals remain behind bars, the crime will reduce in the Erongo Region. Together we can make our region safe,” he concluded.

The six suspects appeared in court yesterday.

GRN wants to buy Areva’s desalination plant

Obtaining Fishing

Permits

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

WHY? The marine resources are limited and currently some of them are overfished or over collected.

It is necessary that everybody uses them wisely and carefully to secure the future harvesting needs by protecting the stock. Quantity/number of marine resources harvestable, minimum size limits of fish and crayfish that can be caught, open season etc. help to manage stocks to avoid the total disappearance of some species in our waters.

Do not leave bait or fish on the beach!

Either take it home or return it to the sea. This food attracts scavengers like jackals and gulls that prey on other bio-diversity. When you are back home after the holiday, it also inflates the predator population.

Where can you get a license for angling, crayfish diving & bait/mussels collection?

Jade McClune

News surfaced this week that, following repeated promises to build a new desalination plant, the Namibian government now intends to buy Areva Namibia’s plant, located a few miles north of Swakopmund.

nated water.

Managers at Namwater make no secret of the fact that the Omdel has become relatively depleted, partly due to drought conditions, but also due to the high rate of extraction by NamWater.

The coastal towns of Swakopmund, Walvis Bay and Henties Bay need at least 4.5 million m³ of freshwater per year and the risk of contamination of freshwater sources is a very real threat. Experts have warned that lowering the water table in the delta raises the risk that seawater would rush in and destroy the precious underground freshwater reservoirs.

Previously NamWater was allowed to extract between 9 and 10 million m³ of potable water annually from the Omdel aquifer and 6 million m³ from the Kuiseb River to supply Henties Bay, Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, as well as mines, but Namwater’s license to extract water from the Omaruru Delta (Omdel) expired in October 2013 and under the terms of the new permit it may not extract more than 4.5 million m³.

Subsequent agreements between Areva, Swakop Uranium (Husab mine), Langer Heinrich Uranium mine, as well as Rössing Uranium, allowed the mines to buy 10 mil-

lion m³ of desalinated water via Namwater, but it appears the arrangement was not cost-effective. Rössing announced in July that it now plans to build its own desalination plant with a capacity to produce 8 200m³ of water per day at the site of the existing Salt Works, north of the town of Swakopmund.

Areva’s desalination plant near Wlotskabaken was inaugurated by then Minister of Trade and Industry, Prime Minister Hage Geingob in mid2010.

Areva is expected to make an official announcement once the terms of the new deal are agreed to.

designed to supply Areva’s Trekkopje mine with water and was built at a cost of N$3 billion.

Trekkopje was expected to produce 3 000 tons of uranium per annum, but was put into maintenance early in 2013, ostensibly due to the decline of the uranium price on the world market since the nuclear meltdown at Fukushima, Japan, in March 2011.

In December 2013, the government first announced that it plans to build its own plant at Mile 6 at a cost of N$1.6 billion north of Swakopmund, but it appears this plan has now been shelved.

The depletion of water in the Omaruru Delta (Omdel) aquifer in recent times presents a major risk factor to the mining industry, as it became clear that in the medium to long term the mines would not be able to continue operations, or carry out any major expansions without access to desali-

Namibia will make an offer to buy Areva’s water desalination plant, which has the capacity to produce 20 million cubic meters of water from the sea, Bloomberg reported this week.

“We can’t have water in the hands of a private company, it’s a resource that’s supposed to belong to the government...

Cabinet has made a decision for us to acquire that plant. We are busy with technicalities before we make an offer,” Mr Joseph Iita, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry, was quoted as saying.

The PS reportedly said that a negotiating team will be established shortly and once an agreement between the parties is reached, the plant would become the property of state-owned water utility, Namwater. The capacity of the plant may also be expanded once the deal is signed, he added.

Erongo RED - help asseblief

Ons het dieselfde oorgekom soos Wilmien, maar my brief kan baie langer wees.

In Swakopmund kan hulle nie in die staanspoor sê watter vorms jy alles nodig het om aansoek vir “PrePaid”-krag te doen. Elke keer as jy die een vorm bring is daar nog ‘n ander een nodig.

Ons aansoek was al in Junie 2014 ingedien met die hoop dat ons krag in Augustus kan kry, maar min het ons geweet hoeveel tyd ons in hul kantore moes deurbring. Blykbaar weet

hulle ook nie waar hulle die vorms wat jy indien bêre nie.

Eers nadat my humeur gedreig het om uit te breek en ek begin dreig het, kon skielik die komputers in gang gebring word en ook die selfoon is opgetel.

In al die ure wat ons in die Erongo RED kantore deurgebring het, het ons nooit ‘n telefoon hoor lui nie.

Telefone word glad nie beantwoord nie.

Ook in Walvisbaai was dit ‘n probleem om enigsins verder te kom.

Op die laaste werksdag van Augustus was ons krag uiteindelik aangesluit.

Soos reeds genoem kan ek nog uitbrei.

Nou wag ons in spanning op terugbetaling van deposit van ons vorige blyplek. (Na aanleiding van brief 12 September 2014).

Rare visitor at our Help needed coast

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.

A resident of Walvis Bay, Mr Manfred Dedekind, could hardly believe his eyes when he came upon a leopard seal (Hydrurga leptonix) around 15:00 Sunday afternoon between the Sandwich Harbour border fence and the third beacon (“derde paaltjie”).

Barrine Blom Spotted him this morning south of Jakkalsputz. Thinks he’s on the end of his travelling road. Looking very tired and not in a good condision.

Posted a lot of pictures today on fb.

Kim Jansen van Rensburg I recall from a kayak/boat trip quite a few months back already that she is in fact a regular or long term resident of our coastline, and yes she has a field day feasting on the seal pups - I would check with the boat and kayak tour guys and gals for more info.

Elizabeth Tórsdóttir Hentze They are known to be very aggressive, however, there’s a wonderful video online of a female trying to feed dead penguins to a wildlife photographer who wanted to study their behaviour and caught it all on film.

CNemoGlobal Fisheries Minister Bernard Esau has been the subject of more controversy this week as to quota allocation. Addressing stakeholders at the annual Namibian Fishing Industry meeting in February, Minister Esau said that “despite a decline in the total

allowable catch (TAC) for some species the contribution of the fishing sector to the GDP generally showed an upward trend and was forecast to slightly improve for 2013 on the back of global recovery.”

Profit from hake operations showed a substantial improvement as a consequence of revenue growth and operating efficiencies; horse mackerel TAC remains the same as 2013 at 350 000 tons noting that the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources continued to allocate further quota to new

rights holders.

Last year Minister Esau also said that “seal harvesting does not contribute significantly to the GDP in terms of jobs or income”.

If fish stocks are not depleted, what is the rationale for continuing the seal hunt?

Seal populations can be managed by immunocontraceptive vaccine.

The seal hunt does not benefit the nation brand, the controversy only harms it. We urge the MFMR to end the annual seal hunt and shift its efforts to the aquaculture industry instead.

Skindertonge maak vrou se lewe hel

Tammy-Ann Kleinsmith Mouton Carballo There should b support 4rom the government for ppl with disabilities and their families... but no their pockets needs 2 b filled 1st.... A country should provide and support their vulnerable citizens, like the old, those with disabilities and those with long term illnesses... what a shame.

Georgina Angelica van Wyk I think there is someone that should be banned from this post as he is attacking all religious comments with negativity.

There is a great God and he will provide for this woman and her children, as he will not put this stumbling block called suffering if he hasn’t placed it there as a test of her faith and strength on this earth. God will and will always provide for his children. Keep the faith of

the Lord our God and he will provide for you. And for those that are willing to donate, i think we should hand all things in by the namib times so that they can give it to her.

Eileen van der Schyff I cannot believe some of the comments I read in this thread! The women has a special needs child and is willing to do something to help her child. The world is in the state it is because of ignorant judgmental people like some of you who commented here. How to help you people who only have negative things to say and not using your time for anything better, I’ll be damned if I knew! But how to help this lady, I know!

And that is what I’ll do!

Shaun Smith God I pray that You almighty Father will transform every tear and sadness in smiles and

happiness. please Lord I beg You to intervine with all Your might. Lord Your the provider and protctr.

Lord you take care of orphns and widows and there for I know You will came through. Amen. Sister just believe cos He is the way the light and the truth.

Unotjari Katundu My friend, wll keep you in prayer’s. With the Almighty anything it’s possible, never loose hope. Sad to read your story.

Oummy Gotlieb But she had a job and she quit cause the was no one to stay with the child? I am confused.

Frank Boye Why don’t you do what is written in your book of fairy-tales...?

Sell all your belongings and give to the needy? But of course all you “Christians” conveniently ignore that part.

Quad bikes cause community uproar

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

COMMUNITY NEWS

New Coastodians pledge to protect the coastline The annual Coastal Biodiversity Week ended on Saturday with a mass coastal clean-up along the Namibian coastline.

Teachers and volunteers collected rubbish from the beaches and found that the most prevalent items discarded by people along the coast include plastic bags, glass and plastic bottles, cans, caps, lids and food wrappers.

Ms Caty Shemuvavula of the Namibian Coastal Management Project (Nacoma) says it would be safe to assume most of the rubbish was left there by visitors.

She notes that the estimated time for plastic bottles to decompose is 450 years, aluminium cans 200 years and plastic bags can take around 20 years to decompose.

The Municipalities of Oranjemund, Lüderitz, Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, as well as the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, Ministry of

Fisheries and Marine Resources, Nadeet, Namdeb Diamond Corporation, Plastic Packaging; Rent-a-Drum, various churches and schools, as well as individual volunteers took part in the clean-up.

The second part of the Coastal Biodiversity Week, which lasted from 13 to 20 September, also served as an educational platform to teach people about the environment through raising awareness on the conservation of coastal biodiversity. (Biodiversity refers to the variety of life in a particular habitat or ecosystem and sustainable development.)

The first phase took place between 2 to 8 June 2014 under the theme: 'Raise your Voice, Not the Sea Level'.

Fundraising dinner

Recipients of the scholarship grant with Mr Rod Braby at the fundraising gala dinner A gala fundraising dinner was held on Friday at Swakopmund to solicit funds for the Coastal Environment Scholarship Fund, to assist students to undertaking post-graduate studies in environmental management.

“The importance of having students in the field of environmental management should not be doubted, parti-

cularly because there is a need for individuals with the capacity to contribute to the sustainable management of

the environment”, Mr Rod Braby said at the gala dinner.

The recipients of grants this year were Ms Nangula Amutenya, who will be completing her Master's degree in Environmental Management at the University of the Free State, as well as Mr Petrus Uushona and Ms Selma Iipinge, who are both enrolled at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology for the Master of Science degree in Environment Management.

Mr Jacobs Jacob is the first PhD grant recipient and will undertake his doctoral research at the University of KwaZuluNatal starting in 2015.

ENTERTAINMENT

Diego releases album inspired by violence

NAMIB TIMES 13

Mavourlene Gaes

Nanyemba Aaron “Diego” Mushi, who inherited his stage name from a telenovela character, is a soft- spoken kwaito artist heating up the entertainment scene with his fiery lyrics and even dedicated his latest album to the series of passion killings that rocked the nation this year.

He may have been born in Ombango, Zambia during the liberation struggle but according to Diego, Namibia is home because both his parents were born here and Walvis Bay is where his heart is.

Diego has been singing since 2009 and said he could not imagine doing music in another genre other than kwaito.

He added that the love he had for music

blossomed after he joined the church choir, where he met a few guys and formed a band they called Diego and management production.

Although the group did not last long and split after some of the members decided to further their studies, leaving Diego stranded, they managed to record a gospel song which gave him just enough motivation to continue with his music career.

According to Diego, everything changed in 2011 when internationally renowned local musician Gazza had a show in Rundu and he (Diego) performed a gospel track “Kalunga Mpakalo” which means where is our God living, in Oshiwambo. “Gazza approached me and invited me to go with him to Windhoek

WALVIS BAY

because he wanted to collaborate on a gospel song,” he explained.

Diego agreed and they completed a track titled “I wanna go”, but instead of accep-

He released his first album that same year (2011) which he called “Ndakula Paife” meaning I am old now. It contained 15 tracks, which was quickly followed by his second album “Namibia one type” recorded at Moonlight Produc-

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste “Finnische Erinnerungen im Woermann-Haus”

Am Samstag, den 20.September 2014, eröffnete im Woermann-Haus die Ausstellung „Black and White: Finnish Memories of Northern Namibia“.

Die einzigartige Ausstellung zeigt 30, von finnischen Missionaren gemachte, Fotografien des Nordens Namibias.

Sie ist eine gemeinsame Bemühung der namib is c hen Mu s eumsvereinigung, der finnischen Botschaft in Windhoek und der Swakopmund Kunst-

ehemaligen Missionshaus ist heute das Nakambale Museum untergebracht, das die Kultur der Ovambo und die Geschichte der Missionare thematisiert.

Das Museum ist benannt nach dem Pionier der finnischen Missionsarbeit im namibischen Norden Martti Rautanen, der unter anderem die Bibel in Oshivambo übersetzte.

Den Spitzname Nakambale, der so viel bedeutet wie „Der, der den Hut trägt“, bekam er von den Ovambos ver-

So besuchten finnische Missionarskinder noch bis in die 1980erjahre ein Internat in Swakopmund.

Die Fotografien sind eine Spende des Missionsmuseum in Helsinki für das Nakambale Museum. Dort wird die Ausstellung im Anschluss an ihren Aufenthalt im Woermann-Haus in Swakopmund dauerhaft zu sehen sein. Im Mai diesen Jahres war sie bereits in Windhoek in der National Art Gallery of Namibia zu sehen.

‚Swimming. In 1909 and 1910 therewere good rains. Children could swim and play in the ponds that were left. Two large lakes attracted hundreds of people who waded through the water catching fish. Could these two lakes be Oponona and Etótha? (Selma Rainio, 1910).” vereinigung.

Die ersten Missionare aus Finnland erreichten 1869 Namibia und 1870 das Ovamboland.

Dort errichteten sie 1871 die Missionsstation Olukonda in der Region Oshikoto. Im

liehen, da diese seinen Namen nicht aussprechen konnten.

Auch wenn die Missionare im Norden tätig waren, so gibt es doch auch eine historische Ve r b i n d u n g z u Swakopmund.

Die Bilder entstanden um die Jahrtausendwende und zeigen das Leben der Ovambos und der Missionare während der Anfänge der finnischen Missionsarbeit. Die ältesten Aufnahmen sind ver-

mutlich die ersten Fotografien, die im Norden Namibias entstanden.

Bereits 1911 wurden die Bilder in Finnland ausgestellt.

Die finnische Botschafterin in Namibia, Anne Saloranta, konnte auf Grund einer Krankheit leider nicht wie geplant an der Eröffnung teilnehmen. Vor den etwa vierzig Gästen verlas Christiane Berker von der Swakopmund Kunstvereinigung stellvertretend die Rede der Botschafterin.

Saloranta beschrieb die Bedeutsamkeit der Erhaltung kulturellen Erbes, für das diese Ausstellung ein ausgezeichnetes Beispiel sei.

Die Fotografien seien etwa 103 Jahre nach ihrer ersten Präsentation in Finnland zurück in dem Land, aus dem sie kämen und dem sie rechtmäßig gehören.

Sie stellte auch die schon fast 144 Jahre andauernde gemeinsame Geschichte Namibias und Finnlands, die ihren Anfang mit den Missionen im ehemaligen SüdwestAfrika nahm, heraus.

Vor allem betonte sie die Partnerschaft und deren Entwicklung.

Die Ausstellung sei ein bemerkenswertes Beispiel für die gemeinsame Reise, die wahre Partnerschaft und die immerwährende Freundschaft, so Saloranta in ihrer Rede.

Photo left: “Taimi and Lydia. The two girls are described as 'foster children' who had been adopted by the Finnish missionaries.

(Hannu Haahti, 1911).”

Dass heute eine echte st att ei ner missi onarischen Kooperation

bestünde, hob auch Timo Palander, Honorarkonsul Namibias in

Finnland, hervor, der der Ausstellungseröffnung als Gast beiwohnte.

Die Swakopmund Kunstvereinigung ist erfreut die Fotografien präsentieren zu dürfen, vor allem auch angesichts der National Heritage Week, in der Namibia vom 22. bis zum 28. September sein kulturelles Erbe feiert.

Die Ausstellung „Black and White: Finnish Memories of Northern Namibia“ ist noch bis zum 4. Oktober 2014 im Woermann-Haus in Swakopmund zu sehen.

“Die Gäste der Ausstellungseröffnung konnten bei einem Glas Wein (oder Wasser) die historischen Fotografien betrachten und besprechen.”

märkten und Tankstellen, wo immer alles mehr oder weniger direkt zur Verfügung steht.

Der Ausblick von der Terrasse des Farmhauses verdeutlicht genau das: Kein Haus, kein Auto, kein Mensch ist von hier aus in der Ferne zu erspähen.

Bei einer Farmrundfahrt kann ich die Sonne und das herrliche Panorama genießen.

Solche weitläufigen Landschaften hatte ich mir in Deutschland ausgemalt, wenn ich an meine bevorstehende Zeit in Namibia dachte.

Auf dem Rückweg zum Farmhaus nehmen wir die zwei Hammel mit, die für die Kratzer in meinem Nacken (mit)verantwortlich sind.

Das, in Kombination mit mit dem bereits beschriebenen wunderschönen Panorama, macht mir wieder einmal klar, wo ich bin.

Nach zweieinhalb Wochen, die ich (zum Zeitpunkt des Farmesuchs) in Swakopmund verbracht habe, erscheint mir zumindest im Küstenort einiges alltäglich (dabei aber nie langweilig!).

Immer wieder rufe ich mir selbst ins Gedächtnis, wie weit ich von meinem zu Hause entfernt bin, als würde

ich es sonst vergessen.

Hier auf Nordenburg habe ich keine Chance es zu vergessen.

Nach meinem zugegebenermaßen oberflächlichen Einblick in die Arbeit eines Schafhirten, den ich dennoch überlege in meinen Lebenslauf aufzunehmen (aus Prinzip!), muss ich Nordenburg leider viel zu schnell den Rücken kehren.

Etwa vier Stunden später bin ich in Windhoek und zwei Tage später zurück in Swakopmund.

Die Städte und ihre Supermärkte und Tankstellen haben mich wieder.

Und doch hoffe ich, bald mal wieder am Farmleben teilzunehmen und den Menschen und den Städten ein wenig zu entfliehen.

Hinter den Kulissen einer Probe des SMVG Es ist Donnerstag,

Originalzitate aus Schüleraufsätzen: - Der Zug hielt mit kreischenden Bremsen und die Fahrgäste entleerten sich auf den Bahnsteig.

- ...und wir gingen mit unserer Lehrerin im Park spazieren. Gegenüber dem Park war ein Haus, wo die Mütter ihre Kinder gebären.

Eine Gebärmutter schaute aus dem Fenster und winkte uns freudig zu.

- In Frankreich hat man die Verbrecher früher mit der Gelatine

hingerichtet.

- Meine Eltern kaufen nur das graue Klopapier, weil das schon mal benutzt wurde und gut für die Umwelt ist.

- In Leipzig haben viele Komponisten gelebt und gewürgt.

- Graf Zeppelin war der erste, der nach verschiedenen Richtungen schiffte.

- Alle Welt horchte auf, als Luther 1642 seine 95 Prothesen an die Schlosskirche zu Wittenberg schlug.

19 Uhr. Nach und nach treffen die Sänger des Swakopmunder Männergesangsverein im Swakopmund Club ein.

Einige ölen ihre Stimmen noch schnell mit einem frisch gezapften Bier, bevor sie in ein Hinterzimmer verschwinden und die Theke vorerst recht einsam zurücklassen.

J e d e Wo c h e z u dieser Zeit trifft sich der SMVG zur Probe.

Diese beginnt zunächst mit einigen Stimmübungen,

„Veronica, der Lenz ist da“, das im Original von den Comedian Harmonists gesungen wurde, sorgt nicht unbedingt für Begeisterung in den Reihen der Sänger.

Es sind zwei der anspruchsvollsten Lieder, mit denen die Probe heute beginnt.

Einige Tenöre haben leichte Schwierigkeiten mit den hohen Tönen, sodass der Tenor die Lieder zwei bis drei Mal alleine durchgehen muss.

Zum Teil scherzen die Bässe über ihre Sangesbrüder, zum

heben.

Der Tenor soll aber auch noch Gelegenheit zum Scherzen haben. Wie über die -zum Teil- textlich weniger anspruchsvollen Passagen der Bassisten („bombombombom“).

Beim zweiten Lied der Comedian Harmonists an diesem Abend „Wochenend und Sonnenschein“ lockert sich die Stimmung und spätestens beim gemeinsamen Bier an der Bar des Swakopmund Clubs nach der Probe sind etwaige Unstim-

führt, dass dieses Lied zumindest für den Rest des Abends in meinem Kopf festsitzt.

Diese Privatvorstellung wird natürlich angemessen mit einer Runde honoriert.

Das Angebot der Pianistin Linette Potgieter mitzusingen, habe ich zum Wohl aller Anwesenden abgelehnt.

Der Gesangsverein freut sich aber immer über Verstärkung, die dabei

Worte der Woche Was am Menschen witzig ist

Jemand fragte einmal meinen Freund Jaime Cohen: „Was ist eigentlich an den Menschen so witzig?“ Cohens Antwort war: „Sie denken immer verkehrt herum: Sie wollen schnell erwachsen werden und sehnen sich später nach der verlorenen Kindheit. Um Geld zu verdienen, setzen sie ihre Gesundheit aufs Spiel, und geben später viel Geld aus, um wieder gesund zu werden.

Sie denken so sehr an die Zukunft, dass sie die Gegenwart vernachlässigen.

Und am Ende erleben sie Paulo Coelho: Sei wie ein weder die Gegenwart noch Fluss, der still die Nacht die Zukunft. durchströmt – Geschichten Sie leben so, als würden sie nie sterben, und sterben, als und Gedanken hätten sie nie gelebt.“

Möchten Sie auch zeigen, wie man andere zum Lächeln bringt?

Teil wird aber auch diskutiert und zum Beispiel die Liedauswahl bemängelt.

Man merkt, dass den Herren des SMVG i h r H o b b y, d a s Singen, wichtig ist: Fehler oder Probleme werden nicht hingenommen, sondern besprochen und versucht zu be-

migkeiten vergessen.

Auf Wunsch eines einzelnen (mir!) stimmte der SMVG nach der Probe noch „Halleluja“ von Leonard Cohen an.

Die Version des Chores ist näher am wohl populärsten C o v e r v o n J e ff Buckley, was dazu

hilft, die lange Tradition der deutschsprachigen Sänger in Swakopmund zu erhalten.

Im Oktober feiert der Verein, der ein fester Bestandteil des kulturellen Lebens im Küstenort ist, sein 112jähriges Bestehen.

Toyota presents stunning vision for new SUV Toyota has released images of a stunning concept car that provides the first hint of a type of vehicle the company would like to bring to the small SUV market.

The innovative Toyota C-HR concept, which will have its world premiere next week at the Paris Motor Show, presents a bold new dynamic design language.

The striking blue C-HR concept introduces an expressive new "diamond architecture" styling theme to the segment and features a hybrid powertrain.

Below its compact, sensual cabin profile, the lower bodywork has been sculpted to represent the faceted surfaces of a highly-durable, precision-cut gemstone.

The front view debuts new styling themes that hint at a future design direction for Toyota vehicles - a further development of the com-

pany's "under priority" and "keen look" design identity. From the side, the highly-faceted lower

body, aggressively angular rear shoulders and muscular wheel arches are contrasted with an

exceptionally sleek cabin profile.

Highly-distinctive, aeroinspired, floating rear

light clusters further enhance the broad shoulders of the concept car's lower bodywork.

thias Prillwitz are attempting to set a world record of driving over 17 000km from the northernmost part of Europe in Nordkapp, Norway, to the southernmost part of Africa, Cape Agulhas, in just under 10 days. Rainer Zietlow is attempting to set his third world record following his two successful world record drives from Tierra del Fuego to Alaska along the "Panamericana" in 11 days and 17 hours as well as a world record drive from Melbourne to St Petersburg in 17 days and 18 hours.

Team Zietlow's World Record Drive attempt officially started on Sunday, 21 September in Nordkapp, Norway at 3am (local time) when the Mayor of Honningsvag, Kristina Hansen pressed the start button of the stopwatch.

The Mayor of the Cape Agulhas Municipality, Councillor Richard Mitchell, will press the stop button when the Volkswagen Touareg reaches the southernmost point in Africa at the Cape Agulhas monument in the Agulhas National Park.

So far, the non-stop driving (the Touareg will only stop for re-fuelling) has seen Team Zietlow passing through Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germa-

ny, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria and Turkey. In Africa, Volkswagen Touareg will drive through Egypt, Sudan, Ethopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe before finally reaching South Africa.

Challenges awaiting Team Zietlow include potholes in Sudan and Ethiopia, countless switchbacks in the African highlands and the infamous "Road of Hell" with its corrugated and volcanic rock surface in northern Kenya. The Touareg will drive through varying temperatures from freezing in Norway to mid-40 degrees Celsius in Sudan.

Team Zietlow has been posting daily reports on its experiences on its website: www.touareg capetocape. com. It includes a blog with photos and videos detailing each day's stage. The current position of the Touareg is also shown on a virtual map that is updated every five minutes.

The team has pledged to support "Food & Trees for Africa" with the planting of nearly 600 trees around the city of Johannesburg in October 2014.

These trees will make the entire "Touareg CapetoCape" project, including the record drive and the scouting tour early this year, CO2-neutral.

Feasting the Senses: Infiniti Q80 Inspiration The Paris Auto Show is fast approaching and companies are jockeying for position in the eye of a media storm.

Infiniti presents Q80 Inspiration: Infiniti's vision of categorybreaking, supreme luxurious driving; a topof-the-line four-seat fastback that rises above the crowd.

It's an audacious and elegant step forward for Infiniti as a global player; designed to shake up the status quo in the premium large four-door club; a no-compromise ambassador of drivercentric powertrain and onboard technologies.

At 15:30 on October 2nd in Hall 5 of the Parc des Expositions de Versailles in Paris, Infiniti will introduce the progressive Q80 Inspiration to the media and provide details on its hybrid-electric powertrain strategy as well as on additional technologies.

In profile, Infiniti Q80 Inspiration extends to 5052 millimeters with a long wheelbase of 3103 mm framed by custom 22-inch fivedual-spoke lighweight alloys.

It strikes an imposing stance with its width of 2027 mm and height of 1350 mm.

"After showing Q30 Concept and Q50 Eau Rouge, Infiniti is eager to show the upper range of our portfolio expansion," says In-

finiti Executive Design Director, Alfonso Albaisa.

"In Q80 Inspiration, we wanted to capture that unforgettable feeling when you experience something important, something beautiful, something magnetic for the first time."

The Q80 Inspiration's expansive, edgy, sensual interpretation of the Infiniti brand really makes a statement.

There are no side-door mirrors to break up the aesthetics of the unmistakable profile, the full roof length of the teardrop passenger greenhouse is accentuated by lightweight acoustic glass, and its doors open portal style which allows the stunning cabin to be fully on display while driver and passengers step in and out with ease.

A concept as impactful as Q80 Inspiration is set to push boundaries in more ways than through the beauty of its attention-grabbing skin.

The cabin is able to bring together the four occupants in a highly stylised and personalised ambiance of the highest quality.

Carbon-fiber, aluminum, and leather surround those inside in

spacious "1 + 1 + 1 + 1" seating.

Earmarked for an advanced adaptive suspension, the light and rigid chassis combines with the acoustic glass all around and additional sound deadening to promise a driving and ride experience among the very best.

A design and technological highlight to which Infiniti's four worldwide design studios will refer regularly in coming years, the Q80 Inspiration fourdoor fastback is to be taken as clear intent to have an entry into the newly defined premium fastback segment.

Suspicion over EVMs Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) have remained under suspicion over their alleged tamparability and security problems during elections. After rulings of the Delhi High Court, the Supreme Court as well as demands from various political parties, the Indian Election Commission (EC) decided to introduce EVMs with Voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT).

Security Problems descriptions of several machine.

An international conference on the Indian EVMs and the tamparability of the machines on 13 February 2010, came to the conclusion that the Election Commission (EC) of India was evading its responsibility on the transparency in the working of the EVMs. On 28 April 2010, an independent security analysis was released, including video demonstrations, of two successful attacks on a real EVM, as well as

other potential vulnerabilities: Before voting: One demonstration was based on replacing the part inside the control unit, which actually displays each candidates' vote totals. This substitute component can be programmed to "steal" a percentage of the votes in favour of a chosen candidate.

A fte r vo tin g : Th e second demonstration used a small clip-on device to manipulate the vote storage memory inside the

Votes stored in the EVM can then be changed during the time between the close of the election and the public counting session. The researchers where also surprised to find that the votecounting software in the EVMs is programmed into so-called "mask-programmed micro-controllers", which do not allow it to be read out and verified.

These chips are made in the US and Japan, therefore nobody in

India knows for sure what software is in these machines and whether it counts votes accurately.

Observers came to the conclusion that even brief access to the machines could allow for manipulation of election results.

Court Cases

On 25 July 2011 the Supreme Court of India asked the EC to consider a request by a petitioner to modify EVMs by having them produce a slip printed with the symbol of the party in whose favour the voter cast his ballot.

On 17 January 2012, Delhi High Court ruled that EVMs are not "tamper-proof".

The court, furthermore, found it "difficult" to issue any directions to

the EC in this regard, but added that the EC itself should hold wider consultations with the Executive, political parties and other stake holders on the matter.

When on 27 September 2012 an appeal was lodged with the Supreme Court (against the undecisive ruling by the High Court), the EC submitted that a field trial for a VVPAT (Voter verified paper audit trail) system was in progress, whereupon the Supreme Court posted the matter for further hearing to January 2013.

The EC had by then ordered the manufacturers of the EVMs to produce machines that will generate a "paper trail" of the vote cast.

BEL CMD announced that the "EVM software will be modified and a printer attached to it. When you cast a vote, the serial number and 'some data' will be generated as a printout."

It appears that, when the voter presses the button for the candidate of his choice in the EVM, a paper ballot with the serial number, name and symbol of the candidate will be printed. The printouts can be used later to cross check the voting data stored electronically in the EVMs.

International Usage

In October 2006, Netherlands banned all EVMs (with or without Paper print out).

Problems with ensuring secrecy of the ballot due to risk of electronic evesdropping were the reason for the ban.

In March 2009, after almost two years of debate, German Supreme Court declared that EVMs were unreliable and unconstitutional because the average citizen could not be expected to understand the exact steps involved in the recording and counting of votes. In April 2009, Republic of Ireland banned EVMs in their elections.

(Full references with regard to all statements of fact are available – AvW – Feb 2013).

National Assembly Notice Of Question I give notice that on Thursday, 2 October, 2014, I shall ask the Honourable Minister of Regional and Local Government, Housing and Rural Development the following: 1. In which way is the Hon Minister going to allay the anxiety of the opposition parties and win the trust and confidence of the electorate as a whole in the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs in short), while there exists scientific proof since April 2010 that the Indian EVMs acquired by the Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) are vulnerable to fraud, as discovered and explained in finest detail, including video demonstrations, by a research team of three renowned security analysts, who carried out two successful attacks on real EVMs and identified several other potential vulnerabilities?

2. Is the Hon Minister not aware that the same Indian EVMs were repeatedly subject to court interventions, when Ø in July 2011 the Supreme Court of India asked the Indian Electoral Commission to consider and respond to the request that the EVMs should be modified by providing a simultaneous printout of the voter's ballot on paper; Ø in January 2012 Delhi High Court ruled that EVMs are not "tamper-proof", and added that the Electoral Commission of India should hold wider consultations with the Executive, political parties and other stakeholders; and Ø in October 2013 the Supreme Court of India directed the Electoral Commission of India to introduce Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail system for the next general elections in India, in order to ensure free and fair elections?

3. Does the Hon Minister really mean to dispute the fact that, with the current EVMs, there is no way whatsoever of verification of the ballot in case of an election challenge?

4. Can the Hon Minister agree that the only way to ensure trust and confidence of the electorate in the EVMs is by adding a Voter Verifiable Paper Trail, which will enable the voter to see a paper printout of their electronic ballot, displaying name and/or symbol of the chosen Party or Candidate, before dropping in a ballot box?

5. How does the Hon Minister explain his allegation a few weeks ago in this assembly that "the technology for the paper trail is not yet available", while it is reported from India that Ø the Electoral Commission of India informed the Supreme Court that EVMs with the Voter Verified Paper Trail were successfully and satisfactorily used at 21 polling stations in Nagaland during assembly elections in February 2013; and that Ø the New Delhi constituency utilized EVMs with Voter Verified Paper Trails in its constituency elections on the 4th of December 2013, enabling voters to verify if their vote was recorded correctly, and being hailed as successful and a positive experience!?

6. Can the Hon Minister comment on the banning of EVMs and the reasons for the banning by the following countries: Ø Netherlands (2006) – due to the secrecy risk of electronic evesdropping; Ø Republic of Ireland (2009) – due to lack of transparency and trust; Ø Germany (2009) – Supreme Court declares EVMs unreliable and unconstitutional due to lack of transparency to a common voter; Ø United States – California and other States ban EVMs without Paper Trail; Ø UK and France – not implementing?

AIDS Activist Bernard Kamatoto with Lukas Ndameke from one of the support groups who received donations and Namport peer educator Yvonne Mutambulua

Namport donates to worthy cause Mavourlene Gaes Namport donated food to the value of more than N$10 000 to different HIV/AIDS support groups around the Erongo Region and made their final stop at the Walvis Bay Multi-purpose centre on Tuesday where they handed groceries over to three of the groups.

According to Advocacy and fundraising manager of Namibia Network of AIDS Service Organisations (NANASO), Zack Makari, NANASO was pleased to hand over a portion of goods they received from Namport from the plea that both strong hand and weak hand need each other.

“Namibia is affected by HIV/AIDS and the country is facing a challenge of food security, to the extent that some patients started throwing away their medicine because they could not drink them on an empty stomach,” Makari said.

He added that they are very happy a prestigious company such as Namport came on board to assist them in the fight for zero new HIV infections and he urged other companies, businesses or even individuals who want to lend a helping hand to feel free in doing so, because every little help counts and there are people across the country in need of their help. He concluded by saying everyone should understand that by giving to others, they are not sponsoring or donating but, that they are investing. In total, nine support groups received the donations. Usakos 1, Arandis 1, Swakopmund 3, Walvis Bay 3 and Henties Bay 1.

Round 7 of Enduro Series completed

Forty-nine riders took part in Round Seven of the Bank Windhoek Namibia National Enduro Championship Series (co-sponsored by Moths Transport) which took place at Farm Ravensburg in the Okahandja district.

The riders battled it out for the podium places as this was the second last race for the 2014 championship series.

The riders lined up to take on the sand, rocks and obstacles the organisers had included in the race.

Two-thirds of the competitors managed to complete the race while some entrants suffered mechanical problems and others did not finish due to tough and demanding conditions which upset the less prepared and fit riders.

In the National Bike Class, Henner Rusch put on a good display and won his sixth race in the series. Shannon Rowland raced her way to victory in the Ladies

Quads.

In class 10, there were three entrants, Mark Johnston in third place, behind Marius Faul in second place and Nickey Hohmeier who won this class.

In class 9, there was only one entrant and Juan Tyran took the honours.

Four riders entered class 8 and two of those Did Not Finish (DNF).

Franco Junius won the race followed by Dennis Dembski in second place.

Class 7 had the most entries with 15 entrants. RJ Visser finished in third place, behind Sven Grünert who was beaten by six minutes for the top step

by Tom Moths.

Class 5 had four entrants, and two of the riders had a DNF. In second place was Frank Ahlreip and the current leader Sven Schneidenberger won this class.

Eight days to Lucky Star Marathon The Lucky Star Marathon, Namibia’s premier coastal running event, is taking place on 4 October this year.

Apart from being the premier marathon event in Namibia, the Lucky Star Marathon serves as a qualifier for the Two Oceans and Comrades marathons.

The event is unique in the sense that the course follows the scenic main road between Swakopmund and

Walvis Bay, where runners are able to enjoy the cold Atlantic Ocean on the one side, and the rolling sand dunes of the oldest desert in the world, the Namib Desert, on the other side.

Etosha Fishing, the main sponsors of the event, aims to promote community involve-

ment and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle among the youth through this event. For this reason, significant focus is placed on involving schools from across the country.

The marathon attracted approximately 790 runners in 2013 and with the participation

of 10 SADC countries in the Southern Regional marathon division, hope is that this year’s event will be even bigger and better.

Apart from the scenic nature of the marathon, the event offers four different routes with varying levels of difficulty to satisfy the ap-

petite of hard core athletes and fun runners alike.

The full marathon (42.2 km) and the school relay (10.2 km) will start in Walvis Bay, whereas the 21.1 km and 10 km races will start in Swakopmund.

Starting times of the respective events are

06:00 for the full marathon; 06:30 for the school relay; whereas the fun run and the half marathon will start at 07:00. Full details are available on the Etosha Fishing website: www. etoshafish.com.na For those athletes still interested in entering, closing date for regis-

trations has been postponed to 29 September.

Online registration is encouraged on the Etosha Fishing website.

Entry fees for the different races are as follows: Full marathon N$100; Half marathon and fun run - N$80; School relay team N$80.

Anton van Rensburg number one Walvis Bay golf news Forty-one consecutive years of sponsoring by Old Mutual Short Term Insurance Company, surely this must be a Namibian record for a company to support a club.

Anton van Rensburg (left) and Impie Brand

The weather conditions were perfect for the 39 entrants this year and all was set for good scores and that is what we got.

Stephan Jacksch and Anton van Rensburg started very good with 23 points each on the first nine holes followed

by Pikkie Champion on 21.

Desmond Benson, 12 points and Brendan Britten, 13 points struggled on the first nine holes. Seems that they missed windy conditions, but at least they both played better golf on the second nine holes.

Jaans Stander did not finish that well at all, making bets at the start he wanted to shake hands after nine holes, but at least continued like a good sportsman should, ending the day on a total of 23 points. Practice boet and thanks for the money!

Stephan Jacksch spent too much time in the club house after nine holes and messed it up on the second nine with

a mere 13 points to end on 36, this to the great delight of his playing partners that had consistent scores on both nine holes. 2-clubs were scored by Brendan Britten, Johny Borges and Wayne Hart. Nearest to the pin was Johny Borges and Wayne Hart.

The final outcome was as follows: 1st Anton van Rensburg - 44 points, 2nd Sergio Figueredo - 40 points C/O, 3rd Rocco Viljoen - 40 points C/O, 4th Johny Borges - 40 points C/O, 5th Bertie Coetzee - 40 points C/O, 6th Willie van Zyl - 37 points C/O, 7th Victor Clara - 37 points C/O, 8th Amandio Sardinha - 37 points C/O, 9th Pikkie Champion - 37 points C/O, 10th Lady T Grobler - 36 points.

A competition that was started 41 years ago by Hans Frielingsdorf and today is continued by Impie Brand, manager of Old Mutual Short term insurance Co is still very popular in Walvis Bay.

Impie and staff, what can we say about your support? You and your staff are all great and we can only salute you all. See you again next year!

Subs - Enough said about this. All subs due by 30 September! If you are not on the handicap system any more, you will know why. Remember, that once you are off the handicap system, it costs the club a fee to reinstate you. It does not happen automatically.

FNB Namibia Coastal Open - This weekend we host one of the prestigious Namibian golf events, the FNB Namibia Coastal Open.
