Murangi, Woman of Excellence Staff Reporter
Mrs Elsa Murangi, coordinator of the Walvis Bay Child and Family Centre, has been named one of the Standard Bank’s Women of Excellence finalists. “I feel honoured to have won this prestigious award,” Mrs Murangi says. “It feels as if all the hard work has finally paid off. It is good advertisement for my centre to be awarded on such a scale.” In the spirit of Women’s month (August) winners of the award were announced at the crowning of Miss Namibia 2014 in Windhoek, on 2 August. Fifty/fifty representation of women in government is a good thing, Murangi continued. “If you empower women, you empower the nation,” she explained.

Nigerians to build salt refinery

Following the visit of the Nigerian President to Namibia in March, Cabinet recently approved the plan to construct a new salt refinery near Henties Bay. During the delivery of his Annual State of the Region address, the Governor of Erongo region, Mr Cleophas Mutjavikua announced last week that “in addition to the existing salt refineries, a new salt refinery had been approved by the Cabinet of the Republic
of Namibia to commence their business near Henties Bay.” Mutjavikua said the Nigerian authorities are keenly interested in exporting salt from Namibia and without going into much detail, said the process was delayed, because “the bureaucratic process took

In the playoff for bronze, England was the better team on the day, forcing Calitz/ Esterhuizen to settle for fourth place. Namibia's 'four team', 'triple team' and 'single player' missed out on a top two position in their respective groups which would have taken them from the group phase to the quarter final.

Nigerians to build salt refinery
Continued from page 1
salt refineries, one situated 10km north of Swakopmund and one to the south of Walvis Bay, established in 1936 and 1964 respectively. An official at Swakopmund Salt Company said yesterday they do not currently export salt to Nigeria as that contract ended around eight years ago. They currently concentrate on the regional markets of Angola, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Nigeria and other West African countries, such as Ivory Coast, are however key export destinations of the Walvis Bay Salt Refiners. At the time of writing it is not yet clear how the establishment of a new refinery will affect the sustainability of the existing refiners, or what the ownership structure of the new refinery will be. Governor Mutjavikua also said last week that the upgrade of regional road infrastructure is a high priority for the government. The plan to tar the road between Swakopmund and Henties Bay and to establish doublelanes on the trunk road between Walvis Bay and Swakopmund, will likely contribute to the development of the new salt refinery and other regional industrial development plans, which are all linked to the expansion of the Port of Walvis Bay. In May last year the
Head of Chancery of the Nigerian Embassy in Windhoek, Dayo Adeoye told the press that Namibia and Nigeria would enter negotiations over the possibility of setting up a salt processing plant here. “There are many negotiations in the pipeline but my government would be eager to have a situation where we can tap into the salt resources in Namibia in bulk,” he said. Currently Namibia supplies salt in bulk to Nigeria. During his official visit in March Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan concluded a 12point memorandum of agreement with the Namibian government, covering a range of areas of cooperation, including the setting up of an oil refinery at Walvis Bay and the waiving of visa requirements for Nigerian officials travelling to and from Namibia. Minister of Trade and Industry Calle Schlettwein told the press at the time that “Nigeria is interested in salt, which is where we had discussions. We want to exploit our salt resources and add value… They (would) set up a factory and the application is to get access to an area along our coast and extract salt from evaporated sea water and make refined table salt and other products.”

Boat fire extinguished before serious damage Mavourlene Gaes
A privately - owned boat caught fire Sunday afternoon but the swift action by two men at the Synchrolift saved the boat from total destruction. The fire is believed to have started around 13:45, allegedly started by sparks from a grinder that was being used on the boat. According to Chief of the Fire Brigade, Dennis Basson, when the fire brigade
arrived at the scene, two men who were at the ship repair yard were already battling to put out the flames. The fire brigade assisted them and they all managed to get the fire under control and put the flames out. Although Basson
could not convey any further details on the name of the boat he confirmed that none of the people that were on the boat sustained any injuries in the fire because they managed to get off the boat on time before any further harm could come to them.

Nam-mic launches fuel and 'Criminals should be stripped of proceeds of their crimes' Marshallino Beukes fleet cards Mavourlene Gaes Nam-mic Payment Solutions yesterday launched an affordable transactional product called Nam-mic Card, that will not only save time but also offers loyalty incentive opportunities. The Nam-mic card is a prepaid debit card that is linked to an account and the account or the card does not expire. The free service account will cost the cardholders a monthly fee of only N$5 if they use the account frequently. There are two cards namely the Nam-mic fuel card that can be used for f u e l , g r o c e r y, AT M withdrawals, mobile and internet transactions and the Nam-mic fleet card that can only be used for buying fuel at participating service stations like Engen, Shell and Puma. According to Josef Nitzborn, Merchants Manager of Nam-mic, since March this year the vehicle and service station owners have been greatly affected by the removal of the garage

cards, that left vehicle owners red-faced and with empty tanks to those who did not have the cash in hand. “The Nam-mic card overcomes inherent challenges for the vehicle owners and the service stations by offering cost affordable, safe and secure payment alternatives,” Nitzborn said. He also added that each vehicle or company owner can now open an account with Nam-mic that will never close or expires and which can be used at participating fuel merchants across the country that are accepting the Nam-mic card for fuel purchases. The card will be used across the country and can also be used for ATM withdrawals or to send and receive money between Nam-mic accounts. “The card holder has different options to add value onto their accounts from Electronic Funds Transfers from any bank, deposits can be made at any Bank Windhoek Branch countrywide as well as at the participating merchants and we also have prepaid airtime and electricity purchases available. However, we are still in talks with
Erongo Red regarding our prepaid electricity purchases and we are confident it will go well,” he explained. Another option the card holders have is to get another card holder to send you money through their linked mobile phone or the Internet in case they have not made any deposits. All transactions are secured with PIN numbers that are required in case a transaction has to be authorised. The Nam-mic card offers lower cost per transaction than other fuel or bank accounts. The SMS and E-mail notifications that will be availed to card holders will keep them informed of any activity going on in their Nam-mic account. It is very quick and easy to open the account. All you need if you are interested in opening an account, is your National Identity document (ID) or Company document proving your ownership of the business and the proof of residency or trade address. If the public is not sure whether a particular merchant accepts the Nam-mic card payments, they can look out for the Nam-mic logo on posters, signs and window stickers.
Prosecutors, investigators assemble
Delegates from nine African countries attended a workshop on the recovery of proceeds of crime and money laundering, organised by the office of the Prosecutor-General, with the assistance of Asset Recovery Inter Agency Network for Southern Africa (ARINSA), in Swakopmund this week. Members of ARINSA are prosecutors and investigators who deal with the investigation and prosecution or bringing up of applications of asset forfeiture. In his opening speech, deputy minister of justice, Mr Tommy Nambahu, noted that all the stakeholders in the fight against organised crime, especially the recovery of the proceeds of crime, should know the overall purpose of this legislation. “We can no longer turn a blind eye on people who assist syndicates to destroy our resources through unlawful activities; who take government resources, which are meant for the people of Namibia to enrich themselves,” Mr Nambahu cautioned. The Deputy Minister further noted that criminals should no longer be allowed to create an impression that Namibia is a safe haven for criminals, because the know-how to use available tools against them lacks. In an exclusive interview with the namib times, Minister Nambahu noted that investigators should get
to the bottom of the crimes and determine the main aim of these criminals. He also mentioned that giving the criminals long prison terms is not beneficial to the state, because the proceeds of their crimes will be used only upon completion of their prison terms and the criminals will still benefit from their ill-gotten wealth. Thus, according to Nambahu, the offenders should be thoroughly investigated and only apprehended after all the money or assets obtained through criminal activities are recovered. That many organised criminals conceal their money and properties, smuggle the money out of the country, or “launder” it, is a cause for concern. Minister Nambahu concluded by noting that a strong network and mutual assistance between different countries should be obtained and that countries should understand each other's laws, in order to get ahead of criminals.

Winter bird count 2014 Bernabé Blaauw The winter bird count took place in and around Walvis Bay recently and volunteers turned up in numbers again to make the exercise successful. total of 56 210. July 2012 - Greater Flamingos 16 386, Lesser Flamingos 664, a total of 17 050. He said that they heard from Etosha in January that there were only a few hundred flamingos in the pan.There are also a substantial number at Sandwich Harbour and Cape Cross, but those counts have not been done. They counted 14 399 Black-necked Grebes, a good number but not the biggest count. In July 2008 they counted 23 853, the biggest number to date. Chestnut-banded Plovers numbered 3 814 but in July 2003 they recorded 6 095 and in July 2012 only 1 487. Cape Teal totaled 8 699, with 11 562 in July 2013 and only 809 in July 2012. The only rarities were one Redshank and three Red-necked Phalaropes. The Walvis Bay Sewage Ponds or Bird’s Paradise,
produced a total of 4 294 birds of 29 species, higher than most years but nowhere near the record 16 159 in July 2013 and 15 141 were Lesser Flamingos. A total of 95 348 birds were counted at the Lagoon (Walvis Bay Ramsar site) and consisted of the following (the numbers counted for the different species can be obtained from the Coastal and Environmental Trust of Namibia (CETN) and only the total number of birds in different families is listed): Grebes 14 399, Pelicans 497, Cormorants and Darters 243, Herons and Egrets 84, Flamingos 49 152, Geese and Ducks 8 600, Rails, Gallinules and Coots 1, Waders/ Shorebirds 19 126, Gulls, Terns and Skimmers 3 245, additional species 1 Eurasian Oystercatcher 1. A total of 4 294 birds were counted at the Sewage Ponds
and consisted of the following: Grebes 619, Pelicans 6, Herons and Egrets 13, Flamingos 2 658, Geese and Ducks 285, Rails, Gallinules and Coots 261, Waders/ Shorebirds 106, Gulls, Terns and Skimmers 346. Mr Bridgeford said that the count would not have been possible without the help of the Namibia Bird Club members from Windhoek and the other volunteers from far and wide. He noted that besides the volunteers who do the count, several businesses contribute in various ways and that he would like to thank them namely Walvis Bay Salt Refiners, Namib Marine Services, Probst Bakery, Radio Electronics, Namibia Breweries, Buccaneers Squash Club, Uri Adventures and Binnacle Marine Services. Next year’s Summer Bird Count will take place in February.

Mr Peter Bridgeford of the Coastal and Environmental Trust of Namibia (CETN) said they had sunny weather on the first day but the next day thick mist covered the coast. During the first hour of the count at the Sewage Ponds, the mist even made identifying flamingos difficult. Fortunately it cleared slightly later and the participants continued with the count. Bridgeford reported that the majority of waders are still enjoying the warm weather in the northern hemisphere, but there were plenty of flamingos. The total for the count was 99 642 birds of 43 species. This is not the highest winter count nor is it the lowest. Comparative figures: July 2014 - Greater Flamingos 19 200, Lesser Flamingos 15 485 and 14 467 unidentified Flamingos, a total of 49 152.

Obtaining Fishing New design for Permits breakwater blocks
Obtain a permit from the Namibian Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources (MFMR) to catch fish or dive for crayfish and respect harvesting limitations.
“This product does not roll away, even in the strongest of currents, as is the case with the stones currently being used as a barrier,” van Zyl and Theron said.
The product could serve as an artificial reef, has a lifetime assurance and is environmentally friendly, they added. It also serves as an advancement regarding
the construction of a jetty. These blocks are built on the required site, cutting down transport cost. It can be cast and molded close to the site
Simon Van Zyl (second from right) and Koos Theron (far right) with guests
and placed on top of each other with cranes. The blocks weigh about 12 tons each. The unique design dissipates rather than barricades energy from the ocean’s currents. Most of the energy is deflected to the side, making these blocks more difficult to dislodge than objects similar in weight presenting a flat surface. The spear point design has a positive hook action whereas the hexagonal design has no positive hook action, although both designs, when stacked, entangle into each other to create an immovable breakwater barrier. The blocks can also be filled with hard rock which is then locked in position by the blocks. The price per block is N$14 997.80.

Where to Fish Mile 72
Riv er
There are several advantages to using the new breakwater blocks at the harbour, which van Zyl and Theron hope to make contractors aware of.
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?

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Swakopmund Bodyworks, Koos Theron, in collaboration with the CEO of Coastal Precast & Paving/Suremix (CPP), Simon van Zyl, presented the latest concrete breakwater blocks that could be used at the port of Walvis Bay.

Gymnastics move ahead Madelaine Laubscher
First National Bank (FNB) recently made a generous donation of a tumble track trampoline to the Dongina Risser Gymnastics Foundation (DRGF).
MD of Namcor, Obeth Kandjoze, Chevening scholar Alina Fimaneka Haidula and Marianne Young, British High Commissioner
Namcor and UK Government sign scholarship agreement
The DRGF has in place an ‘adopt a gymnast’ program, where donors from all over the world can sponsor an underprivileged child and cover not only the costs of gymnastics training, but also school fees to ensure the children are getting a balanced education in sport and in academic studies. The DRGF says the donation signifies the
longstanding relationship between FNB and gymnastics in Namibia and is proud to have the tumble track. Mr John R. Wheeling, spokesperson of the DRGF said, “The tumble track is one of the best modern training tools available in gymnastics and it is also a lot of fun. This tumble track will not only help our elite
gymnasts learn the most difficult skills more safely and efficiently, it will help to bring new kids into the program. Thank you to FNB and Ian Leyenaar from FNB for this wonderful donation. We would also like to sincerely thank DB Mining and Industrial for providing transport for the tumble track.”
Chevening applications process for 2015/16 now open The British High Commission and the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (Namcor) signed a MoU regarding the co-sponsoring of a Chevening scholarship holder to study Petroleum GeoSciences at the Royal Hollaway, University of London, as part of the UK government funded Chevening scholarship programme for 2014/15. The competition for 2015/16 Chevening Scholarships in Namibia opened on 1 August 2014, and closes on 15 November 2014. All applications must be made through ‘eChevening’, the online Chevening Scholarship application system. Guidance for applicants and a link to
eChevening is available on www.chevening.org. Chevening Scholarships are UK’s funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations and are an important element in Britain’s public diplomacy efforts. They bring young professionals, who have already displayed outstanding leadership talents, to study in the UK. The British High Commissioner, Marianne Young, highlighted: “The Chevening Scholarship is a unique opportunity for future Namibian leaders to build their skills whilst developing an international network to help benefit their professional lives. The scholarship allows
Namibians to develop their own capacity to grow as a person and enables participants to establish social, cultural, academic and commercial partnerships with the United Kingdom. We hope that this year the scholarship will continue to attract rising professional talents from Namibia.” Awards for Namibians are typically for a oneyear Master’s degree in the subjects trade, human rights, governance, media, and climate change, and at any of the UK’s leading universities. Many Namibian Chevening scholars have gone on to reach positions of influence in a range of sectors: some work
as MPs, leading journalists, opinion leaders or policy advisors to NGOs and think tanks; others occupy senior positions in public and private organisations. Chevening Scholarships operate in 160 countries worldwide, and this year will support over 1500 individuals around the globe. Chevening Scholarships are for talented people who have been identified as potential future leaders across a wide range of fields: including politics, business, the media, civil society, religion, and academia. Applicants should be high calibre graduates with the personal, intellectual and interpersonal qualities necessary for leadership.

Party lig terug... party nie. Weet presies waardeer die drywers gaan. Wat ek nou nie verstaan nie.... wat het die kerk met jou skrywe uit te waai? In hierdie dorp word daar baie ge-

Henry Izak Carel Kotze Finished my food in time but my movie night was a disaster. Darion Coetie Its bad. You can do nothing anymore cause the power goes out almost every 2 hours in Meersig and to top it all up is I cannot get hold of prepaid electricity as in like now Tuesday 05/08/2014, but you increase electricity tariffs.

Missing person assistance
My name is Keshwin Gounder. I was born and raised in Pretoria, South Africa. I recently got engaged to a lady who also stays in South Africa, her name is Sharlotte Strauss, she told me a story regarding her mother whose name is Emma Strauss, her surname used to be De Bruin. From what I have heard her mother
is originally from Namibia but at a very young age she was kidnapped and brought to a place in South Africa called Upington and was raised by her kidnappers as there own. Well, that’s like between 43 to 46 years ago and I would like to
assist my mother in law in perhaps tracking down relatives of hers. Is there any way you can assist me regarding this issue? Please do reply to cell number 071 295 5878 Regards Keshwin Gounder EM National Control Room
Swakopmund Residents Association Newsletter The paving of Strand Street from the Jetty to the accommodation establishments along the river is nearing completion to the delight of property owners in this area as well as motorists. Furthermore council has made funds available for the repair of 17 pairs of columns of the jetty which have been damaged by the continuous pounding of the sea. Both projects are welcomed very much. They also focus the attention on the park between the jetty and fisheries institute which was named by previous council after former mayor Jörg Henrichsen (19821992) who lost his life in a tragic car accident. Mr. Henrichsen was an instrumental force in establishing the “Save the Jetty Fund) which made the restoration of the jetty possible and preserved it for the future. Unfortunately there is no commemorative name plate giving him credit for his efforts. Forgotten? Our suggestion is a granite rock, with a polished area carrying the information and displayed at a prominent place. Failing any support of
this initiative from the municipality, would it not be possible for some community-minded business to put this in place for us? Swakopmund is steadily proving itself as a town where the residents care about our quality and environment, and we simply need some initiative. Further good news is that council has called for tenders for the reinstallation of electric wiring at the Woermann Haus. We are confident that similar tenders for the reinstallation of water pipes will follow soon, before the building is renovated. We have had this topic on our agenda for a long time and are happy to see something happening now. Renovations to our police station next to the post office have been in progress for almost two years now without much visible progress. In the mean time wind
and weather tatter the flags in front of the building work, and in particular, our national flag is hardly recognisable and needs a good wash. Mr. Health Inspector, please pay the new parking lot in Liberthine Amadhilla Street, formerly housing the traffic department, a visit and have a look behind the transformer house. Do not get too close. This area is being misused as a public toilet littered with human excrement, and the sight and odour are shocking. Please do something about this “Grosse Schweinerei”. The heavy seas some two months ago have left their mark on the very popular walkways along the beach right up to the Maritime flats. Enough time has lapsed since to organise a few men with brooms and have the debris removed. No. 36, July 2014

STAKEHOLDERS MEETING The Namibian Standards Institution (NSI) cordially invites existing and potential fish and fishery products exporters and role players in the fishery value-chain, to a stakeholder meeting on the requirements for exporting fish and fishery products to the Republic of Mozambique. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the export requirements contained in the “Protocol No.5 concerning the inspection and certification of fish and fishery products” signed between the NSI and the National Fish Inspection Institute (INIP) of the Republic of Mozambique. Date: Time: Venue:
14 August 2014 09h00 -11h00 Protea Hotel Pelican Bay, Walvisbay
In terms of the Protocol, the NSI is formally recognised by INIP as the competent authority for the inspection of fish and fishery products traded between the two countries. Thus, fish and fishery products exported to Mozambique must and can only be inspected and certified by the NSI, and consignments of fish and fishery products from Namibia to Mozambique must be accompanied by a health certificate issued by the NSI. Furthermore, the law in Mozambique requires that all products traded in Mozambique should be labelled in Portuguese language as well, hence the need for fish and fishery product traders to comply with these requirementsin order to facilitate trade between Namibia and Mozambique. Kindly confirm your attendance with Connie Sinvula-Samunzala by 12 Aug 2014 at certification@nsi.com.na or by Fax 061 386454

Ondjila Oile
Mavourlene Gaes
Andreas Nanyala (25), better known as Dakostar is a local artist who, like many others, has dreams of making it big in the music industry and his Namibia Annual Music Award (NAMA) nomination was his biggest motivation. Although he was not born in Walvis Bay, he came to love the town as his very own and has never regretted moving here. Dakostar says he always loved to sing for as long as he can remember. It was while attending A Shipena Secondary School in Windhoek in 2007 that he realised he had more love for music than he ever thought. “Music is my ambition, it is what I love to do now and what I will always love to do,” he said. Explaining how he got into music, Dakostar said after he went to attend school in Windhoek, he met up with school mates Phillizo and Tempo who approached him after hearing him rap. They liked his style and asked him if he had already recorded anything and he said no. The three made up a group called TPD records but, unfortunately due to personal differences the group went their separate ways. Dakostar does Afro Pop, House and Shambo music and released his al-bum titled “Ondjila Oile” which means “It’s a long way to go” in Oshiwambo in 2012. He described the response from the public on the album as excellent. The album earned him a NAMA nomination the following year, in the “Best Damara Punch” category with his track titled “Damara Kwasa” song number 8 on his CD featuring Kooz. He has also released three music videos “Unyuni” an Afro pop track, “Posh” a house track and “Olye” a shambo track that were broadcasted on NBC and One Africa television.

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste Johanniter-Treffen im Europahof Belgien trifft auf Namibia
Wir trafen uns zum monatlichen Mittagessen mit einem Thema, das uns durch Mitglieder zugesendet worden war und uns zu lebhafter Diskussion anregte: In der Schweiz wurde ein Projekt „Zeitvorsorge“ gestartet. Noch rüstige Senioren sind aufgerufen, betagten Senioren Hilfsdienste anzu-bieten. Als Vergütung wird kein Geld angeboten, sondern die Stunden werden als „Zeitgutschrift“ verbucht. Jede(r) Betreuer/in erhält ein persönliches ZeitKonto, auf dem die geleisteten Stunden gutgeschrieben werden. Später, wenn die Betreuenden selber einmal Hilfe brauchen, haben sie Anspruch auf ebenso viele Stunden Betreuung. Zusammenfassung unserer Diskussion: Die Idee der gegenseitigen Hilfe ist sehr positiv aufgenommen worden, zumal sie der Inhalt unseres Johan-
niter Hilfswerks ist und bereits privat und von den Hospiz-Damen angeboten wird. Aber wenn diese Hilfe intensiviert werden könnte und zentral durch die Johanniter gesteuert würde, wäre es für Swakopmund sehr zu befürworten. Aufwendig wäre die Buchführung von jeweiligen Zeitkonten. Die Meinung eines Ritterbruders und Pastoren: Der Einsatz des Johanniter Hilfswerks ist ein freiwilliger Dienst aus Liebe zum Nächsten ohne eine Gegenleistung zu erwarten. Somit würde eine „Zeitgutschrift“ nicht zum Grundsatz der Johanniter passen. Wir beschließen: Das Johanniter Hilfswerk ist ab sofort bereit, Anmeldungen entgegenzunehmen von noch jungen Senioren, die bereit sind, ihre Hilfe betagten Menschen anzubieten für Botengänge, Spaziergänge oder kleine Roll-
stuhlausfahrten, für etwas Zeit, eine gemeinsame Tasse Tee und ein Gespräch. Ebenso erwarten wir Anrufe von Senioren (oder deren Angehörigen), die solche Hilfe gerne in Anspruch nehmen wollen. Unsere Telefonnummer in der Station ist : 402289. Sprechen Sie auf das Tonband, wenn die Station nicht besetzt ist, Schwester Teresa wird Sie zurückrufen. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn diese Initiative sich ausweite und helfenden und betagten Senioren an der Küste zur Freude diene.

Ihr Johanniter-Komitee
Ein Landstreicher steht vor Gericht und wird vom Richter befragt: ,,Wann arbeiten Sie eigentlich?” - ,,Hin und wieder.” - ,,Was arbeiten Sie?” - ,,Dies und jenes.” - ,,Und wo arbeiten Sie?” - ,,Hier und dort.” - ,,Haben Sie denn wenigstens einen festen Wohnsitz?” - ,,Mal ja, mal nein.” - ,,Nun, dann werde ich sie jetzt inhaftieren müssen.” - ,,Und wann werde ich wieder entlassen?” - ,,Früher oder später.”
Seltenes Phänomen
Das ist das einzige Mal, dass Sie dieses Phänomen in Ihrem Leben sehen. Der August in diesem Jahr hat fünf Freitage, fünf Samstage und fünf Sonntage. Das passiert nur einmal in 823 Jahren! Die Chinesen nennen das "volle Silbertaschen".
Werbung wagen und gewinnen!
Leserbrief: Enttäuscht!
Sehr geehrtes Team der NAMIB TIMES, Mehrere Freunde und ich vermissten am letzten Freitag die beiden deutschen Blattseiten in Ihrer Zeitung. Auf meine Nachfrage
am Montag teilte man mir in Ihrem Büro mit: “Es war kein Platz für die deutschen Beiträge!” Es gibt viele, die außer den anderen Artikeln und Rubriken Ihrer Zeitung, sehr gerne die
zwei deutschen Seiten lesen. Dort sind neben wissenswerten, interessanten Berichten auch mal witzige, humorvolle Erzählungen. Wir werden täglich mit vielen Horror-Unfällen und negativen Reportagen konfrontiert, da tut es gut, ab und zu etwas zum Schmunzeln und Erfreuen zu lesen. Deshalb möchte ich Sie im Namen mehrerer Leser bitten, weiterhin Freitags die zwei deutschen Seiten in der NAMIB TIMES zu bringen. DANKE! Mit freundlichem Gruss Brigitte Mracky Swakopmund
Möchten Sie zeigen, wie es nicht gemacht wird? Melden Sie sich bei Susann Kinghorn; Tel. 405183 oder 0812538850; Fax: 400182; E-Mail: susannkinghorn@gmail.com
Worte der Woche
Ich habe in meinem Leben viele kluge und gute Bücher gelesen. Aber ich habe in ihnen allen nichts gefunden, was mein Herz so still und froh gemacht hätte, wie die vier Worte aus dem 23. Psalm: Du bist bei mir. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), in Königsberg geborenen deutscher Philosoph der Aufklärung
In Osterath gab es einmal einen Landstreicher, der es zu zweifelhafter Berühmtheit brachte. "Du löps herum wie Bulles Willi", sagte man damals zu solchen, die sich wenig um ihr Äußeres scherten. Dabei führte Willi Konradi, so hieß der 1876 in Osterath Geborene wirklich, bis zum 30. Lebensjahr ein ehrbares Dasein als Viehhirt und Maurer - bis eine Frau in sein Leben trat. Der Kellner räumt das Geschirr ab und fragt den Gast: ,,Wie fanden Sie unser Schnitzel?” Antwortet der Gast: ,,Indem ich die Kartoffeln und das Gemüse beiseitegeschoben habe.” ,,Herr Lehrer, kann man für etwas bestraft werden, das man nicht getan hat?” , fragt Klaus den Lehrer. Der überlegt und antwortet: ,,Natürlich nicht, das wäre ungerecht.” - ,,Gut”, sagt Klaus erleichtert, ,,ich habe nämlich meine Hausaufgaben nicht gemacht.” Zwei Freunde treffen sich. ,,Wie geht’s dir?” ,,Geht so. Ich habe einem Bekannten 80000 Nam Dollar für eine Schönheits-OP geliehen - und jetzt erkenne ich ihn nicht mehr.”

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste
Schwer verdientes Festmahl!
,,Eish, wie kriege ich diesen Querkopf mit seinen unangenehm harten, sklerotisierten Chitinplatten und seinem Beingebammel nur in den Schlund?” Fotos: Susann Kinghorn Swakopmund (sk) Was auf diesen 5 Fotos aus einer Serie von 18 zu sehen ist, wirkt wie ein Kinderspiel gegen das, was ich auf der Kalahari Anib Lodge miterleben durfte. Eine buntscheckige Gabelracke versuchte mit allen Mitteln, sich eine sperrige Wüstenheuschrecke mund- bzw. schnabelgerecht zu machen. Dabei schlug ,,Wenn ich dieses Monster in die Luft werfe, sie dem Insekt links ob es dann endlich in den Schnabel passt?” und rechts eins um die Ohren, dass es nur so klatschte. Man konnte tatsächlich das Schlagen hören, das durch vehemente, ruckartige Bewegungen des Rackenvogelkopfes verursacht wurde. Zwischendurch versuchte der relativ große Insektenfresser wiederholt und auf geschickte Art und Weise, das unhandliche Kerbtier zu balancieren und so zu manövrieren, dass es endlich in sei,,Aaarrrggg, ich ersticke!” ne Kehle gleiten konnte. Nach vollendeter Tat, die zwischen 5 und 10 Minuten dauerte, saß die lilafarbenbrüstige Gabelracke ( (ilac-breasted roller auf Englisch) träge in der Sonne und ließ sich auch weiterhin nicht vom Klicken der Kamera und der aufgeregten Fotografin beirren. Schließlich hatte - nach hartem Kampf mit der Heuschrecke nun auch noch der ar,,Würg, würg!” beitsintensive Verdauungsvorgang im Inneren begonnen. Die monogam lebenden und territorial gebundenen Gabelracken ernähren sich von Heuschrecken, Grillen, Käfern und Schmetterlingen, aber auch von Eidechsen, Weichtieren und sogar kleinen Schlangen, Fröschen, kleinen Vögeln und Nagetieren.

Haltet unsere Küste sauber!
Locker vom Hocker Haargewirr!
Liebe Küstenleser, begehren wir nicht meist genau das, was wir nicht haben? Nehmen wir einmal unsere Haarpracht. Wie oft höre ich von Glatthaarigen, sie hätten gerne natürliche Locken. Ich kam schon mit Locken zur Welt und wünschte mir nichts sehnlicher als glattes, pflegeleichtes Haar. Hinzu kam, dass mich meine Söhne immer mal wieder pesteten, ich solle etwas aus dem Gewirr meiner
klägliche Versuch, seinen natürlichen Afro Look hinter Brul Cream (heute Haargel genannt), künstlichem Haar u. Ä. zu verstecken. Da ich kein Fossil sein möchte, meinem Nachwuchs auch mal ein offenes Ohr leihen wollte und schon immer bereit war, das, was im Bereich des Möglichen liegt, wenigstens einmal im Leben auszuprobieren, begab ich mich also eines Tages zum Frisör.
definitiv nicht künstlichen Kopfbedeckung machen: ,,Warum legst du dir nicht mal eine anständige Frisur zu?”, fragten sie mich wiederholt mit einem scheelen Blick auf meinen strubbeligen Pudelkopf. Sie wollten nicht verstehen, dass ich genetisch nun einmal für Locken prädestiniert und zu einem unzähmbaren Haargestrüpp verdammt bzw. damit gesegnet war, je nachdem, aus welcher Perspektive man es betrachtet. Der amerikanische Sänger Michael Jackson hat auch zeitlebens vergeblich versucht, das Negroide an sich zu verstecken, und dazu gehörte u.a. der
Mit Haarglätter, Glätteisen und all diesem Schnickschnack wurde meine zerzauste Wolle schließlich in fade Spaghetti-Strähnen verwandelt, wie sie heute so gut wie jeder weibliche Teenager trägt. Als das Haar nach der chemischen Behandlung dann auch noch brüchig und glanzlos wurde, war mir klar, dass ich mit meinen unbändigen Zotteln Frieden machen musste. Manchmal ärgere ich mich noch über das chaotische Mäusenest, das meine wohlgeformte Schädeldecke verbirgt (Letzteres müssen Sie mir einfach glauben!) und sich so gar nicht in Form
bringen lässt. Gleichzeitig beneide ich dann die Frauen, die einmal mit dem Kamm durch ihr Haar streichen, und schon sieht alles - äh, zumindest die Partie um das Gesicht herum - perfekt aus. Doch dann gibt es wieder Momente, wo ich mich vollen Herzens darüber freue, dass der göttliche Schöpfer oder Darwins Evolutionsguru mir nun einmal keine formvollendete Frisur verpasst hat. Als der Ostwind zum Beispiel kürzlich als steife, heiße Brise über unsere Küste fegte, da machte mir mein Durcheinander ÜBER dem Kopf (wohlbemerkt) beim Gang durch die Stadt richtig Spaß. Es war so lustig zu beobachten, wie die Frauen aus Sorge um ihre stilvolle Frisur hastiger als der heiße Föhn durch die Straßen eilten, um so schnell wie möglich im geschützten Geschäft oder Auto zu landen, aus Angst vor einer zunichte gemachten Haarpracht. Ich hingegen genoss den spielerischen Wind, der mein Haarstrang-Geknäuel hin- und herzauste. Egal, welches Wetter, ob Wind, Sturm, Regen oder Schnee, meine Frisur bleibt zumindest immer intakt. Es könnte höchstens passieren, dass zu große Hagelkörner das verderben, was unter der Haarwolle im Gewölbe meiner Gehirnwindungen listig lauert. Da ich nichts gegen aufregende Abenteuer und neues Gedankengut habe, stört auch diese rare Wettervoraussicht mich keineswegs. Eigentlich schade, dass es in unserem Nebelloch nie hagelt und wir uns mit mildem Wetter und ebenso gleichförmig-fadem Leben zufrieden geben müssen. Stellen Sie sich einmal vor, wir werden hier alle von Hagelkörnern bombardiert, die unsere eingerosteten Köpfe einmal so richtig lekker durchschütteln, unsere Gehirnwindungen neu verknüpfen und unser eingefahrenes Denken erfrischend erneuern. Ihre Susann Kinghorn

Monthly Monitor for July 2014
USA shares have doubled in value since March 2009. Various analysts say that this needn't end as those invested in global equities are indeed riding the longterm bull. Market Review: Shares tend to increase over the long-term.
As the graph shows below, peaks are followed by troughs. However, it is very important to note that increasingly higher peaks are formed over the years, as long as you give your investment enough time. Graph 1: Long Live the Bull!
Source: IJG Research Economic conditions such as low but rising inflation, economic momentum, reasonable valuations and investors rotating from fixed income to equities support the case of the bull. This year the short-term and long-term trend is upwards, supported by Central Bank liquidity.
The trick of riding the bull is to not fall off! Warning signals alerting one to trend reversals include downward revisions in economic growth and inflation, negative corporate earnings surprises and a loss in economic momentum. See Table 1 below for asset class returns over various periods:
Table 1: Asset Class Returns (in N$)
The assertive portfolio earned a stellar 23.3% return (benchmark: 10.5%). It is important to note that one should invest for the medium- to long-term and that these attractive returns are way above their expected averages. Valuations and Risks: The IMF World Economic Outlook reveals improved growth forecasts with benefits spilling over onto company earnings through reduced unemployment and increased economic activity. Summer is being kind to the US economy as property markets and consumer sentiment improves and inflation remains low. The Federal Reserve Bank confirmed that interest rates will be kept at ultra-low levels at least until 2015. The Dollar has depreciated slightly, which is good for US exports and equities. Interest rates in the Eurozone are also very low to stimulate the economy which is dealing with low inflation and relatively high unemployment. Cash and bond yields have fallen, helping to keep interest costs low for local companies. European shares are responding to this stimulus. In Asia, Japan is experiencing tremendous growth with the Nikkei surging since April. Japan's inflation slowed and the trade deficit has narrowed. China is also enjoying stronger growth with increasing property prices along rising inflation. In South Africa, the consumer confidence levels have risen despite high unemployment and inflation. Interest rates are slowly increasing with the Repo rate now at 5.75%. A weak Rand dampens the outlook for SA bonds. The SA Share index continues to impress with resource shares quickly catching up to industrial and financial

Our colder, capital preservation portfolios are all beating their benchmarks as cash and bonds have been ticking up while shares have done spectacularly: The conservative portfolio returned 9.2% (benchmark: 8%), the cautious portfolio reached 11.7% (benchmark: 8.5%) and the cautious+ portfolio did 14.1% (benchmark: 9%). Our warmer, capital growth portfolios are doing even better as they are more exposed to the well-performing shares: The moderate portfolio attained 15.8% returns (benchmark: 9.5%) and the moderate+ portfolio reached 19.1% (benchmark 10%).
shares, boosted by the end of the metalworkers' strike. Gold, platinum and silver shares are leading the resources sector. In Conclusion: Investors should not be too fearful and think the bull-run is over, but also not too greedy and jump in shares only. An appropriate diversified investment portfolio should be selected that fits your investment aim, term and risk profile. For that you need a good, ethical financial adviser.

Our deepest sympathy and condolences
to the bereaved BREHANY Family with the sad loss of your beloved husband and father. May the Lord bless you and keep you in your time of sorrow.
Will always be remembered by John, Trevor, Desmore and Constance (Radio Station)
To: the bereaved Cookson Family We feel so sad when those we love are touched by death's dark hand, but it would ease our sorrow if we could but understand that death is just a gateway that all people pass through and on the other side of death, in a world that is bright and new, our loved ones wait to welcome us to that land free from all tears, where joy becomes eternal and time is not counted by years.

Team Namibia returns with 3 medals trial road event in 27 place with Irene Steyn ending her race against the clock just a few seconds slower than Vera in 28th position. The cycling road race however was the most grueling of the Glasgow 2014 cycling events, with an extremely tough course with steep climbs, sharp corners, cobble stones and to make things even harder, the worst weather Glasgow has seen during the 11 competition days. As a result of the rain the roads turned slippery and with the risk of accidents the strongest riders started off the race at warp speed, dropping the less experienced cyclists within the first few kilometers of the 168km race. Out of 127 riders starting the men's race, only 12 riders managed to finish all 12 laps of the course. Namibia's Dan Craven impressed with a top 10 finish, ending the race in 9th position after a crash in the last lap which cost him an even better result. The other Namibian men performed exceptionally well in the conditions, with Till Drobish one of the last riders to drop out of the race. In marathon, Helalia Johannes lost a podium position in the marathon with 3 km to go, up to which time she was still placed in third th
HARD HITTER: Junias Jonas rocks his opponent
Staff reporter Namibia's athletes returned with three medals from the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Para-athletes Johanna Benson and Lahja Ishitile both claimed bronze in the long jump and 100m res p e c t i v e l y, w h i l e Junias Jonas returned with a silver medal won in the 64kg light welter boxing. Beyond the three medal winners, Namibia impressed on seven fields of play over 11 competition days. R eg a rd i ng bo w ls , Namibia's pairs lawn bowls team was in with a shot at the podium with Douw Calitz and his partner, Will Esterhuizen. The pair beat Norfolk Islands, Jersey and Cook Islands in the group phase, only losing to Australia. In
the quarterfinal Namibia caused an upset, beating Australia 19:12, but then unfortunately lost the semifinal against Malaysia. In the playoff for bronze, England was the better team on the day, forcing Calitz/ Esterhuizen to settle for fourth place. Namibia's 'four team', 'triple team' and 'single player' missed out on a top two position in their respective groups which would have taken them from the group phase to the quarter final. For single player, Will Esterhuizen, this was by the slightest of margins, finishing on equal points with Zambia's Harry Musonda, but on a lower

shot difference. In boxing, Junias Jonas was Namibia's top performer at the games winning silver in the light welter category. On the way to the final Jonas beat Amir Khan (PAK), Charles Lumbwe (ZAM), Leroy Hindley (NZL) and Sean Duffy (NRI). In the final Jonas put up an excellent fight against his opponent, local Scottish boy and Dehli 2010 silver medalist Josh Taylor. Taylor however was the better boxer on the day and claimed gold. Namibia's other boxers also impressed in their respective categories,
with Mujandjua Kasuto proceeding up to round 16 in the 75kg middle weight, Immanuel Shapaka eliminated in the round of 32 in the men's fly 52kg and Lazarus Shaningwa losing to New Zeeland's Chad Milnes in round 16 of the men's 60kg light weight category. Looking at cycling, in the mountain bike race Heiko Redecker finith shed a respectable 18 in the men's event with Vera Adrian ending the ladies race in 16th position. Vera Adrian, participating in all three cycling races for Namibia, completed the time
position. On the last three kilom e t e r s s h e u n f o rtunately was passed by Australia's Jess Trengrove and Canada's Lanni Marchant to end in 5th position. Nambia's other runners gave it all, especially Beata Naigambo who drew lot of attention when collapsing five meters before the finish line only to get up again and stumble over the finish line in 11th position, before being rushed off and treated by the race medics. Beata is however again well recovered. Regarding Parasports, the Namibian surprise of the 2014 Commonwealth Games was 17 year old Lahja Ishitile. Unknown to most Namibians before the Games, Lahja realised the medal prediction her coach had set for her before the 100m T11/12 race. Visually impaired Ishitile raced down the 100m track lead by her guide Davido Ndeilenga in 13:48 seconds to claim bronze medal. Ana Kambinda and Johanna Katjikuru achieved season best times in their respective heats of the 100m T11/12 race, but were unfortunately not able to qualify for the final. Etchegaray Nguluwe achived a new personal best in the F42/44 discuss with a distance
of 28.88m giving him th 12 position in his event. In the power lifting competition, Ruben Soroseb ended th in 6 place after lifting 200kg. Looking at shooting, expectations from Namibia's shooter, Gaby Ahrens, were high after she won silver four years ago in Delhi. Unfortunately Gaby missed out this time around on qualification for the trap shooting final by three points after the three qualifying rounds, finishing 12th in the qualification. In Triathlon, on the first competition day of Glasgow 2014, Namibia's Drikus Coetzee achieved his set target of finishing in the top 30 in the Commonwealth Games triathlon when he finished the race in th 25 position and lastly looking at wrestling, Angula Shikongo lost his wresting fight against England's Leon Rattigan after a respectable performance, and missed out on the opportunity to compete for bronze in the repechage round when Rattigan was defeated in the semifinal. Namibia's top performer at the Glasgow 2014 Games, was light welterweight boxer, Junias Jonas. Source: ProActive
Rossmund Golf Club News Winter seems to be truly here – and few golfers are braving the weather to swing a club or two. Last Saturday, we had the pleasure of Weiss Hardware sponsoring the Competition and just over 30 players participated. Thank you Eric for your very generous prizes, and we look forward to your being with us again in 2015 ! It was an interesting and fiercely closely fought competition; three
players shared the honours on a score of 37 points: W Borg, E Uushona and W Reitz. Congratulations. Wednesday's golf drew a greater field than normal, and the very cold “south wester” did not prevent J van Schalkwyk winning on 36 for the best 18 holes: followed by T Boesch as runner up on
34 points (he is very hard to beat) The best overall 9 hole score went to L van der Walt (18) on a count out/tie with G van der Merwe. The prizes were kindly donated by Megasave, CTM and Office Coastal International. Thanks to our sponsors. Next Wednesday 9 hole players must play the
front 9. This weekend is the attraction of Sages in Tsumeb, and their kindness, hospitality, and generosity have drawn several players from Rossmund to participate. Best wishes to you all bring home the honours. This Saturday is the FNB Betterball competition at the Club.
