Workers told not to protest while PM is in town

Zambia cold storage

A group of government workers who gathered at the Ministry of Labour in Swakopmund on Friday afternoon to prepare for a mass demonstration against the Namibian Public Workers Union (NAPWU) were told, mere minutes before the march was due to start, that they would not be allowed to proceed. The police apparently could not escort the protestors across the
road due to the fact that Prime Minister Hage Geingob and Continues on page 2

Introduction Africa Union Financial Services (Pty) Ltd (AUFS) is proposing to develop a section of land within the Walvis Bay Harbour into a cold storage facility.
Kerk gee om
Under Namibia’s third National Development Plan (NDP3), Namport was given a mandate to improve and expand port infrastructure. Consequently the proposed site, currently known as the Zambian Dry Port, was established in March 2007 following a Memorandum of Agreement between the governments of Namibia and Zambia. AUFS was appointed to promote trade with Zambia and has developed its current container operations consisting of frozen goods stored in ‘reefers’ (refrigerated containers), most of which is destined for the Zambian market. Given the ever increasing demand for cold storage at the port and Namport’s instruction to its clients to optimise any available space, AUFS has embarked on a project to construct a state-of-the-art cold storage facility. Currently the transfer of frozen product from ship into refrigerated containers and then back into refrigerated trucks is hampered by weather conditions, which raises various operational and health concerns. Together with their equity partners Esja Fishing (Namibia) (Pty) Ltd, AUFS have commissioned an engineering feasibility study and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Figure 1 indicates the locality of the proposed cold storage facility (in green). The existing AUFS operations lie to the north east of the proposed site.

According to the Environmental Management Act (No.7 of 2007) the construction of a cold storage facility at the port is a listed activity requiring an Environmental Clearance Certificate. Quivertree Consulting has been appointed by AUFS to undertake the EIA. With this Background Information Document (BID), we hope to inform stakeholders of the project, to give them an opportunity to register as interested and affected parties and to submit any initial comments. This will ensure that all issues of relevance with respect to social and ecological aspects are identified and addressed.
Conflict erupts after assault on WB woman
The Project The site has not previously been developed and is currently being used for the storage of second hand vehicles. It is approximately 18,000 m2 in size and is bordered to the south by a railway siding, previously used by TransNamib for the washing of railway wagons, to the west by 5th Road and to the north and east, by container operations.

A virtual war of words erupted over the weekend following an incident whereby a woman was allegedly assaulted and threatened after taking photos of an official government vehicle in Walvis Bay. According to Mrs Rheta Kruger Smeer, she was driving in the parking area of the Spar Supermarket in town when a vehicle with GRN number plates (GRN81028) stopped in the middle of the driveway, blocking her vehicle so that she could not drive out. She indicated to the driver to move out of the way, but the driver apparently just put on his hazard lights, left the white Prado Land Cruiser in the
driveway and went into the shop. She then got out and took pictures of the vehicle with her camera-phone. That is when all hell broke loose, as apparently some of the women in the vehicle got out and started pushing Mrs Kruger Smeer around and threatening her. “I was called a white whore, who does not belong in Namibia. They said I’m a Boer that must
still be taught a lesson and other despicable words that I do not even want to repeat. They shouted at me to apologise politely for taking pictures and that I must delete the photos, because a governor may do as they want.” The namib times can confirm that the vehicle does not belong to the Governor of the Erongo region. It is assigned to the Governor of the Hardap Region, Cllr Katrina Hanse-Himarwa,

who was in Walvis Bay to join the Swapo Star Rally over the weekend. On further inquiry the Hardap governor’s personal assistant, Mr Carel Christians, said neither he nor the governor had any knowledge of the incident. “I can confirm that the governor was not in the vehicle at the time. It is possible that some personnel from her office were sent with the vehicle” to do some errands, he said. “The governor was certainly not in the car. She would never tolerate such behaviour,” Mr Christians
said. “it could have been some of the office staff, but such behaviour would be unacceptable, unless there was serious provocation.” One photo of the incident however shows a woman gesticulating in the backseat, who appears to be wearing the same attire and watch that Governor Hanse-Himarwa was seen wearing earlier that day at the rally. A women in blue jeans and another in a black dress were leading the attack on her, while the driver, who was wearing an orange shirt, refused
to move the vehicle, Mrs Kruger Smeer said. According to regulations, the control officer in the regional council would have to issue a ‘trip authorisation’ for every person traveling in the vehicle and would also have to sign an indemnity form before using official transport. Asked whether the people in the vehicle were authorised to use the government car, Mr Christians said they will investigate the issue and make their findings public. Mrs Kruger Smeer said she will lay charges of
racial discrimination and assault against the persons who allegedly attacked and threatened her on Saturday. The police apparently demanded her phone and that she go to the station with the police, but she refused, “because I did nothing wrong. I took pictures in a public place. They were very aggressive towards me, would not listen to what I have to say and wanted me to go to the station.” She says she drove off, when they tried to confiscate her phone. The management at Spar
had to intervene to defuse the situation and remove the angry women from the shop when things got out of hand. One apparently took off her high heels and wanted to beat Kruger Smeer with it. The alleged attack was also recorded by CCTV cameras at Spar. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and concern among coastal residents. The Namib Times will make public the video footage of the alleged assault as soon as it is available.

Continued from page 1 other VIP’s were in town and were expected in the area at the same time. A police contingent was stationed outside SWAPO Regional Office awaiting the arrival of the PM, at the time the march was supposed to take place. The march organisers said they were advised on Friday by the local station commander to cancel the march on account of the presence of dignitaries and that the police would not be able to escort the protestors to Napwu’s offices, which are located next to the Swapo Party offices, a mere 50 metres from their gathering-point at the Ministry of Labour. The workers, who are mostly drawn from the ranks of the most lowly-paid institutional workers, including cleaners, matrons and labourers, are protesting over what they see as the refusal of the union to take up their demands. They say that their letter of grievance sent to Napwu at the end of July for the attention of the PM, had not been dealt with, hence their decision to demonstrate against the union leadership. Among a list of other grievances the workers

also allege that there is corruption in the appointment of government staff. They say that jobs and promotions are reserved for “family members” of managers “and certain ethnic groups”. Mr Ngolombe, regional coordinator of Napwu said on Thursday that the workers had never brought their issues to him and that it is not the union’s job to sniff out problems: “They should tell us, so that we can deal with the issues and investigate… 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.” In the interests of harmony, the workers cancelled their protest last Friday and agreed to reschedule their demonstration for this week: “We will not give up. We are sick and tired of being mistreated. We are going ahead with our protest action,” one of the leading organisers said yesterday. The protest march is expected to resume at 16:00 on Friday outside the offices of the Ministry of Labour.

Erongo RED signs with DBN Staff Reporter
Erongo RED has announced the first externally sourced finance agreement of its kind for the company - a N$280 million loan from the Development Bank of Namibia (DBN) for a period of 10 years at prime interest rate. The capital will be used to finance projects such as the Walvis Bay bulk upgrade, Lithops Intake Substation in Arandis and Swakopmund's future upgrades. This will be in line with their campaign to bring electricity to the all by 2020. Previously Erongo RED has relied on internal financing. Since their inception the organisation's revenue has grown from N$183 million in 2005 to N$785 million in 2013. “We acted in accordance with all the due processes when we were sourcing external financing and DBN emerged as the successful tenderer,” said Robert Kahimise, CEO of Erongo RED. “On an African basis, the supply of electricity remains a concern,” Martin Inkumbi, CEO of DBN, started. “The Southern African Power Pool is challenged by the requirements of SADC growth. Although we are a beneficiary of the power pool, the bank is also aware that our own capacity to generate and distribute electricity is vital as a buffer against capacity fluctuation in the Southern African Power Pool.” Martin Inkumbi CEO of DBN (left) with Robert Kahimise of Erongo RED

Accordingly the 77 Namibian general workers who were suspended last week will be reinstated and the company will extend the contracts of those workers whose contracts are coming to an end. A performance evaluation plan will be implemented starting from October this year to evaluate each worker's performance and whether their contract will be extended. Even though there was no disciplinary hearing held on Friday, MANWU stated that CHEC should be commended for their understanding and leniency towards the suspended workers. CHEC's major concern was the illegality of the strike and according to the union workers should apologise for the inconvenience they have caused the company. “Mistakes will not be corrected through rocks but through rice,” Muniaro said reffering to the illegal strike that was conducted on Monday last week. According to the company workers only partook in an illegal strike on Monday and were suspended by Tuesday last week when they brought the company into disrepute. CHEC is sponsoring a training workshop for shop stewards to gain better understanding of the labour act. According to the company, 200 Chinese nationals are currently employed of which 81 are working on dredging vessels, 86 are working in management roles and 33 employees are technicians and engineers.

Waar ‘n wil is, is ‘n weg… Marshallino Beukes Ontmoet vir Harold Teek (43), gewese bendeleier, drank- en dwelmverslaafde, rower, tronkvoël en hawelose inwoner van Swakopmund. Harold vertel dat hy ‘n wettelose en bandelose lewe gelei het, totdat die die lewensstorms hom na Swakopmund gewaai het. Volgens hom het hy gedurende Januarie vanjaar in die vakansiedorp aangekom, nadat hy vanaf Rehoboth, in die Hardap streek, met ‘n vragmotor geryloop het. In Swakopmund, waar hy beplan het om groener weivelde te soek, het hy egter niemand geken nie en was verplig om op straat te slaap en deur die dag te bedel vir aalmoese. ‘n Welsynwerker het hom blykbaar opgemerk en vir pastoor Nicholaas Tjippo van Shalom Pentecostal Kerk in kennis gestel van sy situasie. Die kerkleier het Harold onder sy vlerk geneem en verras met nuwe klere en ‘n plek om te woon. Dit het egter nie hier gestop nie. Een van die kerk susters, mev Belin-
da Kharases, het Harold “aangeneem” en hy woon tans by haar en is ook aangestel as opsigter by die kerk, waar hy ‘n maandelikse salaris verdien. Harold kon nie sy glimlag keer toe hy die namib times vertel dat hy intussen ‘n pragtige dame ontmoet het en in November gaan die twee die knoop deurhaak. “Ek het selfs my eie selfoon nou!” spog Harold. Die gewese prisonier, wat vir ses jaar agter die tralies in die Hardap Maksimum gevangenis was, nadat hy skuldig bevind is aan roof en ernstige aanranding, loop deesdae met al die kerk se sleutels in sy sak en word selfs gestuur om geld van die kerk te gaan bank. Met ‘n hartseer uitdrukking op sy gesig, vertel hy dat almal in “die ou dae” hul besittings toegesluit het as hy in die omgewing was. “Ek kom uit ‘n goeie
huis uit, maar het dit weggegooi vir die plesiere van die lewe,” vertel hy. Hy kan nie uitgepraat raak oor hoe die Here sy lewe ten goede verander het nie. “Ek dank elke dag die Here vir ‘n pastoor soos hierdie en ek sien elke dag hoedat die Here deur hom werk. Hierrie is ‘n kerk met ‘n verskil, waar ‘n mens die Here se teenwoordigheid en liefde kan aanvoel”, sê Harold. Hy is al vir agt maande onder die kerk se vlerk en het sigarette, drank, dwelms en alle ander slegte gewoontes prysgegee. Sy boodskap aan diegene wat in dieselfde bootjie, as die waarin hy was, is dat daar wel ‘n uitkoms uit daardie omstandighede is. “As die Here dit vir my kon doen, hoekom dan nie ook vir jou nie, my broe… waar ‘n wil is, is daar ‘n weg”.
The Namibian Police, Erongo Region, is looking for Mr Fillemon Awene (identity number: 79092310034) as witness in connection with a housebreaking and theft case which occurred in Walvis Bay on 19 March. Mr Fillemon Awene or anyone who knows him is requested to contact Detective Constable Shitima on 081 304 9064 or 064 21 9057.

Free legal advice available Sharlien Tjambari
The Law Society of Namibia, in collaboration with the office of the Ombudsman, is organising Free Legal Advice Days. The Free Legal Advice Days form part of the Law Societies' objectives for 2014 to make legal services more accessible to those members of the public who cannot afford legal services. The Free Legal Advice Days coinside with the various circle meetings of the Council of the Law Society with members of the Law Society of Namibia (LSN) in the regions and/or other membership events. The advice will not be given by a particular firm, as all the legal practitioners in Namibia are members of the Law Society of Namibia. These individual legal practitioners will give advice free of charge.
Any individual is entitled to the free legal advice on this day. “At this stage it is one day. However, the LSN will consider longer periods, should there be greater need. The free legal advice will probably commerce at 10:00 until 16:00, but this will be confirmed closer to the dates” said Retha Steinmann, the LSN Director. If you want free legal advice from LSN you will need the relevant documentation relating to the matter in which they seek the advice. “LSN also keeps a register for purposes of registration and it would be helpful if the person brings his/her ID document and contact details, telephone number,
residential address and work contact details, as it makes the registration process easier if the information is already in writing and available” Retha Steinmann noted. For now the main focus of the advice will be on Wills and Estates, Domestic Violence, Divorce and Labour Law. The first Free Legal Advice Day was held in Keetmanshoop on 15 August, the second in Ongwediva on 12 September. The dates for further Free Legal Ad vice Days are, Windhoek: 16 January 2015; Mid-North CircleTsumeb: 20 February 2015; West Circle Swakopmund: 17 April 2015; East Circle- Gobabis: 12 June 2015.

Candles lit to remember lives lost to HIV Mavourlene Gaes The Namibia Network of AIDS Service Organisations (NANASO) held a candlelight vigil at the Shalom Parish Lutheran Church in Kuisebmond on Thursday to pray for those that lost their lives as a result of the virus and those infected and affected by it.
According to AIDS activist, Bernard Kamatoto, the first candlelight memorial service was held in 1999 during the establishment of Lironga Eparu, an organisation that helped those with HIV by giving them support. He added that day 15 years ago, the candlelight memorial has brought together the Namibian people to honour the loss of lives that were lost and to demonstrate the importance of the civil society that plays a central role in the prevention of HIV, breaking down the barriers of stigma and discrimination by giving hope to those that have recently tested positive to the virus. “Today through the candlelight vigil we have zero deaths related to AIDS because we make sure
every infected Namibian has access to ARV treatment” Kamatoto said. The deputy mayor of Walvis Bay Benson Uakumbua who also attended the vigil said that although it is sad, it is also a true reality that HIV/AIDS has robbed our country of its most productive citizens over the years. Despite what has been seemingly done to educate Namibians of this deadly virus, the infection rate is still worrisome. “I believe that awareness and education on HIV/AIDS can never be overemphasised, because one message could save the life of a future leader, one message could encourage our youth to act with caution when indulging in activities that could expose them to HIV/AIDS” The deputy Mayor concluded.

McCallum emphasized that one of the pillars of the Swakop Uranium Foundation Trust is community support and promoting awareness of diseases such as HIV and AIDS in Namibia. “The community benefits significantly when stakeholders partner for such events to improve the lives of the people in the surrounding communities” he quoted.

Executive Director Sandie Tjaronda said the past week has been very productive. “The Erongo Week was held to emphasise that HIV and AIDS is still a serious matter that we need to address in the workplace and at home” he said. He also said if not addressed properly, HIV and AIDS affects productivity in the workplace and can hamper economic growth. “This week has been a week of holding hands, and showing we can
Tjaronda said the private sector plays a critical role in combating HIV and AIDS. He indicated that various partners have come on board, providing their monetary support or platforms and services that the network needed, thus translating into savings for the network. From 22 - 27 September, NANASO carried out different activities to raise the profile of the network in the Erongo region. Clean-up campaigns were held in Usakos, Arandis, Henties Bay, Walvis Bay and Swakopmund. In addition, food parcels were handed over in the same towns on 22 and 23 September, while motivational talks were held at various work places on 24 September. The Erongo Week of Activities concluded with a sports/fun day at Utuseb in collaboration with the Minis t r y o f Yo u t h , National Service, Sport and Culture on Saturday, 27 September.

ficate. Quivertree Consulting has been appointed by AUFS to undertake the EIA. The cold storage facility will consist of a temperature controlled warehouse, with additional facilities including a reception area, workshop, offices and ablutions. It will have capacity to store up to 10 000 tonnes of frozen fish products. It will be a single storied building, about 1 860 m2 in area and 15 m in height; whereas the reception and loading areas will be about 2 900 m2 in size. The cardboard cartons containing frozen fish will be offloaded from fishing vessels approximately twice a week, wrapped and placed on pallets. These will be loaded onto trucks, transported to the cold store and packed using an automated racking system and telescopic forklifts. No processing of fish will be undertaken on site, as this will have been done prior on the fishing vessels. When ready, pallets will be removed, packed into shipping containers or refrigerated trucks, sealed and removed off site.

AUFS was appointed to promote trade with Zambia and has developed its current container operations consisting of frozen goods stored in ‘reefers’ (refrigerated containers). Currently the transfer of frozen products from ship into refrigerated containers and then back into refrigerated trucks is hampered by weather conditions, which raises various operational and health concerns. The proposed site, currently known as the Zambian Dry Port, was established in March 2007 following a Memorandum of Agreement between the governments of Namibia and Zambia. Under Namibia’s third National Development Plan (NDP3), Namport was given a mandate to improve and expand port infrastructure. Together with their equity partners Esja Fishing (Namibia), AUFS have commissioned an engineering feasibility study and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). According to the Environmental Management Act (No.7 of 2007) the construction of a cold storage facility at the port is a listed activity requiring an Environmental Clearance Certi-
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?

How independent are we really? Opinion piece by Jade McClune
Every day of the year we can hear politicians boasting about how they brought about independence and liberation in Namibia. It always puzzles me though how anyone can claim to be independent, when they don’t produce any of their own food, clothes or even tools.
People in this country have resigned themselves to the idea of being perfectly dependent on South African retail outlets to meet our every need. In a sense we are hostages of the SA retail market. If the SA supermarket chains decide an avocado costs N$50 dollars in Walvis Bay and R5 in Cape Town, there is nothing we can do about it, because Namibians are apparently unable or unwiling to produce their own potatoes or tomatoes. Instead we wait for trucks loaded with fresh produce from South Africa to arrive before we can start cooking. What we do produce locally, Namibians rarely even taste of. Can anyone at the coast say they have tasted even one grape from the famous grape farms near
the Orange River? Most likely not. The best of our produce is exported. The same is true of fish and meat, which we tend to buy back processed and packaged from South Africa. This colonial arrangement applies also to marble, diamonds, copper, gold etc. In fact, local producers are falling over themselves to sell their products abroad (to Europe and China, wherever they can get the highest price), even though a quarter of children in this country are chronically malnourished and many people live in a state of perpetual hunger, we can see the new rich driving through the townships in their Ferarris and Porsches. The best fruit of our labours are enjoyed elsewhere, while children starve on our streets.
We have allowed the situation to degenerate so far that vast numbers of people are sitting about unemployed and hungry, instead of producing our own food. How can half the people sit around without work when we do not have enough food? Municipalities must encourage backyard gardening and set up seed banks and support programmes for growing food locally. Schools must have gardens and kitchens to feed the learners. Every open space should be utilised for food production in order to supply the local markets and to undercut the high prices SA retailers demand. They are able to do this only because we have failed to produce enough food to meet our own
needs. Councils should allocate small plots in riverine and green areas for household gardening. NBC should have weekly gardening programmes, with advice and tips on how to grow your own food. Growing your own food, is of course like growing your own money. Growing our own food leads to greater independence, gives us control over what we eat and encourages self-sufficiency. In previous generations it was normal for every household to have a small garden, but today people have become so cash-orientated that the land lies idle, while we go off in search of cash to buy food. We should be turning our hands to the soil and growing our wealth and health from the ground up.
Yet gardeners are looked down upon, while the bankers and tenderpreneurs are praised for accumulating vast sums of paper money, because we have been taught to worship money before all else. If we do not realise it now, there will come a time when we will have to face the fact that we cannot eat money. A country that does not produce its own vegetables, or nappies, or even toilet paper, cannot convince the world that it is independent, when it clearly cannot even wipe its own backside with stretching a hand to its ‘former’ colonial masters. This country is no more independent than my fouryear old child is, because frankly we cannot even feed ourselves. I have no doubt that if the
Jade McClune borders with South Africa were closed for one week, this country would start to experience widespread famine and starvation. Since protein is the basis of all life and the main source of energy for humans, there can be no real talk about freedom without protein. The fact is Namibia is entirely dependent economically on South Africa. Despite the grandiose self-conception of our political elite, who have sought for 24 years to
convince us that they liberated the country from colonialism, Namibia still continues to function economically as a fifth province of South Africa and in economic terms remains a colony. Politicians of all shades will deny this to the bitter end, but let them show us where they get their potatoes, toothpaste and toilet paper from. The fact is that after 24 years of socalled independence, Namibia can neither clothe nor feed itself.
Kerk gee om vir behoeftiges, AVBOB dra by Marshallino Beukes
Shalom Pentecostal Church of Namibia in Swakopmund is ‘n kerk wat daarna streef om hulpbehoewendes, nie net liggaamlik nie, maar ook geestelik te voed en onder die bekwame leiding van pastoor Nicholaas Tjippo en sy wederhelfte, pastoor Katrina word die daad by die woord gevoeg. Die kerk, wat in die vakansiedorp se Mondesa woonbuurt geleë is, het ‘n voedingskema, “Hand of Grace”, gedurende 2011 begin en ongeveer 50 behoeftiges, insluitende minderjarige kinders vind baat daarby. Volgens pastoor Katrina het twee enkel moeders van die DRC informele area en Mondesa, afsonderlik, haar op ‘n dag genader vir iets om te eet en sy het opgemerk dat die twee vrouens
se babas inkopiesakke as weggooidoekies gebruik. Daar en dan het sy besluit dat hulle ook weggooidoekies aan diesulke moeders gaan skenk. AVBOB het van die program te hore gekom en vandeesweek hul bydrae tot die kerk se voedingskema gemaak. Kruideniersware en weggooidoekies het deel uitgemaak van die donasie. Pastoor Katrina vertel
dat die kerk se deur vir alle hulbehoewendes (enige denominasie, kleur, ouderdom of ras) oop staan en dat hulle op Sondae, Dinsdae en Donderdae al die honger mae met ‘n voedsame bord kos vul. Skoolkinders kom maak ook elke middag na skool ‘n draai, vir ietsie te ete. Sy noem voorts dat die Shalom Pentecostal kerk ook behoeftiges so ver as Arandis voed. “Ons probeer om hierdie

Make anybody's child everybody's child Madelaine Laubscher The Namibia United States Alumni Association in Walvis Bay is planning to start an “Angel Network” for the youth of Walvis Bay in 2015. The network aims at connecting the youth to mentors in their respective communities. According to American Allumni, Ms Taati Niilenge, Walvis Bay should start taking ownership for the wellbeing of children of Walvis Bay, in order to reduce problems such as teenage pregnancies, alcohol/drug abuse, dropping out of school and poor academic performances. “People are quick to judge these youngsters when they fail in society, but they lack in helping the children out of these situations. Teenagers are seen all over our streets, because their parents either work long hours or do not pay atten-
tion to their children. Children are at the wrong places and in the beds of people the age of their own fathers, looking for the attention they do not get at home,” she said. Niilenge said that they are looking for working individuals to “adopt” a child outside their own homes, acting as a mentor. “Individuals would be asked to check up on the child at least once a week to find out how the child is doing at school, who his friends are and what challenges he is facing. A mentor can take the child for a walk or just spend a day in town, motivating and counseling him/her. It will not take much of your money or time. The child
will grow up knowing that there is someone else out there that cares,” she said. According to Niilenge she has had many encounters since she came back from the United States of America, where they helped children with school uniforms, matric farewells, food and improving their talents. “Surprisingly, these children are the ones rising at the top of their classes at the end of the year. We have a grade 11 boy who is a clothing designer for models. There are bright students who enjoy helping at homework classes and producing great results for younger learners. What happens to these children
when they continuously struggle without the necessary support to go further in life? During my studies at the Arizona State University, I joined volunteer groups and what I saw there is what I want for our children. They are just as smart as their American peers. The difference is the support the American children get from their communities. We should stop moving away from the idea of simply caring for our own children and let us act like one big family,” she said. The American Cultural Centre had the privilege of accompanying a visiting American Activist, Mr Jason Rzepka, to Walvis Bay and Swakopmund last week. They had interesting discussions with the youth. “I was so proud that such young children could impress someone from a first world country, saying that the Namibian youth does not fit the picture that people have about Africa. Our guest was so impressed that he is planning to return next year. One question asked was how many people owned a cell phone. The majority of children raised their hands. Most of them spent a large part of their days on social media. There is nothing wrong with it, but social media is used for the wrong reasons and this can be changed. I visited first year media studies classes, and it was
unbelievable that the students were freshly out of high school, yet most had the ability to write stories and produce movies at the level of a qualified journalist in Namibia. Most of their news stories were from social media. The Walvis Bay youth asked about journalism. Some want to learn how to create animated educational programs. These children need a media laboratory to spend their days productively, while at the same time benefitting the entire country's youth through their programs,” Niilenge said. They also met the “Young Achievers” group from Kuisebmond at the meetings, who told them about the voluntary projects they are engaging in. There are projects such as beach cleaning, volunteering at old age homes and helping with rebuilding shacks that have burnt down. They argue that they want to do so much more, but as
unemployed youth, they need motivation from the community. “Although we cannot provide jobs for them, we can afford to dig into our pockets and at least sponsor N$20 per person for a project done on a Saturday morning. We cannot expect the government to tackle all these issues alone thus you as an individual are just as accountable. Previously disadvantaged schools are producing sky high results in various subjects. These children are bored out of their minds. They argue they have approached so many places to be heard, but that nobody cares,” she said. Niilenge feels this issue is a ticking bomb. “We can complain about the youth all the time, but we will never solve the problems until we start being mentors for all our children all over town. We still have a few months to prepare for the launch of the Angel Network and we need
people to volunteer as mentors. Let us make anybody's child, everybody's child,” she concluded. Niilenge is a Walvis Bay resident who obtained a BA degree in Media Studies at the University of Namibia in 2002. She has worked for Unam Radio, The namib times and NBC, before embarking to the United States of America on a US state department program, the Hubert Humphrey Fellowship program. She studied Social Media at the Arizona State University. She was awarded the president's awards for public service in 2011, prior to her return to Namibia with the promise of uplifting her own community. She is currently working with Artworks Projects, an organisation that tells world situations through Photo Journalism, as well as Arts for Change that is based at the Arizona State University.

Oues van dae op Safari
Die Lions Tehuis vir bejaardes in Swakopmund het onlangs hul jaarlikse Safari ontbyt, ter viering van die Lente seisoen aangebied en wat ‘n heuglike dag was dit nie! Groot pryse was op die spel vir gaste wat ʼn safari-tema in hul drag moes uitbeeld en die senior burgers het hulle behoorlik opgetof.
Die meeste inwoners was begeesterd en het baie moeite gedoen om op safari te gaan en het so twintig minute voor die bestemde tyd die
eetsaal betree, met of sonder hul kieries of karretjies. Daar is baie ge-oe en ge-a oor die kostuum van elke mededinger wat
sy of haar verskyning in die deur gemaak het en ‘n paar minute voor tien was dit soos die gezoem van bye soos daar gekletter is. Oral is oor en weer gegroet en goedige aanmerkings gemaak. Die servette op die tafels was ‘Safari’ uitgebeeld en almal het hul eie afleidings begin maak oor wie die wenners gaan wees. Daar was ʼn egte kakie helmet, verskillende groottesen kleure hoede, verkyker, byl en tot ‘n nagemaakte apie op die
skouer van ʼn tannie wat hom ewe trots ten toon gestel het. Die gaste is welkom geheet deur ʼn spitsvondige aankondiger wat sake deurentyd glad laat verloop het. Vrugtesap en twee kleure vonkelwyn is bedien en daarna is die wenners aangewys, wat vir die kamera moes poseer terwyl hulle hul pryse ontvang het. Die pryse is deur plaaslike besighede geskenk en die Tehuis inwoners en bestuur kan nie genoeg
dankie daarvoor sê nie. Daarná is die seën gevra en die ete, ‘n ware feesmaal, is bedien. Dit was ʼn ‘brunch’ duisend, waartydens almal hulle knuppeldik geëet het! En wie het aan die einde van die dag die
Oktoberfest 2014
The annual Oktoberfest in Walvis Bay was celebrated over the weekend at the Atlantis Sport Club. The organisers also handed over a donation of N$5 000 to the Kuisebmond Old Age Home on Saturday.

Monthly market a must for the curious and young at heart
NAMIB TIMES TIMES 13 13 NAMIB
The Monthly Market at the Last Resort Wellness Centre in Swakopmund is growing ever more popular. Over the past few months it has become a popular institution among locals with increasing ever-support from local organic
food growers, artists and crafts people, as well as cottage industries and homeopathic therapists, all putting their unique wares on
display. The casual browser will invariably meet up with other like-minded visitors at the stalls, who are
looking for an alternative to mass-produced and imported commodities. Thanks to the lovely weather, market day
on Sunday turned out to be a cheerful and bright day. The next market day will be held on 2 November.
Fun was had by all, exhibitors as well as visitors

Champions back in action
The first Bank Windhoek Long Course Gala for this season will take place this weekend at the Tsumeb swimming pool. The gala will start on Saturday at 09:00. The gala is sure to be well attended as some of Namibia’s best are expected to be in action. Zanré Oberholzer, Sonja Adelaar, and Toni Roth, some of the leading Namibian swimmers according to FINA points, are currently at the height of their training for participation at the World Short Course championship and the Zone VI competition in Harare, Zimbabwe. Both competitions will take place in December. Other strong young swimmers taking part are Arthur Loftie-Eaton, Jôrn Diekmann, Nicolai Flemming, Alexander Skinner, Philip Seidler, Kiara Schatz and Zune Weber, who will all at-
tend the Zone VI competition. Junior swimmers have their first chance to qualify for the Level 1, 2 and 3 galas in South Africa. Swimmers to watch will be Ricardo Richter, Heinrich Burger, Corne le Roux, Heleni Stergiadis, Ju-Ane Oberholzer, Jade Coury, Joanne Liebenberg and the sisters Carissa and Tiane Esslinger. “Please come and support our swimmers at the Bank Windhoek Galas. NASU would also like to thank Bank Windhoek for their continuous sponsorship during the long course swimming season,” said Rentia Meyer, Press Officer of NASU.
Some of Namibia’s best swimmers are expected to be in action at the first Bank Windhoek Long Course Gala for this season which starts this weekend in Tsumeb.

In the current economic climate, so many promising youngsters are unable to achieve their dreams and their potential and they have decided to tackle this head-on, and do their bit to assist these young people within the community. They have two main projects – the integration of underprivi-
leged children into gymnastics classes through their sponsorship program and Adopt-A-Gymnast, and the raising of funds for the purpose of buying much needed gymnastics equipment and in the future a permanent training facility through their Brick-by-Brick fund. She announced that they recently received a wonderful sponsorship of a tumble track from FNB Foundation (with transport provided by DB Mining). This provided wonderful stimulus for all
the gymnasts. However, there is still much more needed in terms of beneficial equipment such as a new beam, a proper full size sprung floor, landing mats, etc. Their current focus therefore is to provide the gymnasts with the right training equipment so they can train safely and effectively. On 10 October (the ‘10th of the Tenth’), they will be holding a special golf day to raise funds for the Foundation, with the chief fundraising aim being for more land-
ing mats and floor mats. Dione says that they cannot do this alone and that “You, our business partners, are an essential role-player in our efforts to improve our communities, and create opportunities where none exists. How can you be involved? For the ‘10th of the Tenth’ event, you can contribute in the following ways: Enter or sponsor a team of 3 players N$2 500, and/or buy a tee and/or green (118) - N$1 000, and/ or sponsor prizes in
sets of three (one for each member of the team), and/or donate any amount in cash or kind. For this last option, we would really like to offer a golf corporate day with a difference - if you have a product you would like to promote, we would like to give you this opportunity for doing so on one of the tees/greens while at the same time supporting our worthy cause. For example, if you are in the restaurant business, you can have samples of a cer-
tain dish you want to promote. Or if you sell beverages, perhaps you want to promote a particular type. The idea is that at each hole the golfers will experience something different to make the event enjoyable while at the same time possibly bringing you great exposure. We would like to give you something back for supporting us! In exchange for your support, you will also receive the following: Great team building opportunity for your
team; Great chance for networking with other like-minded business personalities; Official recognition as a sponsor (at the various levels) at the event itself and afterwards in local and social media; Promotion of a specific product or concept for your business or for your business in general.” She concluded by saying, “We are looking forward to hearing from you! Help us make a difference for these talented kids.”
