Leandrea Louw While the bonfires are burning high after the release yesterday, of the 2014 results of Grade 12 Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate (NSSC) Ordinary Level for Full-time and Part-time, the top five schools in this proud region have been identified. They are Karibib Private School, Duneside High School, Namib High School, Walvis Bay Private High School and Westside High School. The top 10 learners for the Erongo Region are Joram Uutoni, Ndinelao Nelulu, Frieda Amadhila, Edwin Tsowaseb, Besley Namiseb, Fillemon Muunda, Lucia Tobias, Charlothe Hoases, Gedisha Neibas and Maria Nehale. The Erongo Region retained its position as number one, for the second consecutive year. For 2014, 19 392 fulltime and 25 540 part-time candidates sat for the examination at 176 and 125 full-time and part-time centres respectively. The majority of the part-time
candidates, 22 886 were registered with Namibia College of Open Learning; while a total of 2 654 were registered with other Private Institutions recognised and approved by the Ministry of Education. About 1 150 candidates obtained 20-24 points and students with less than 20 points are strongly advised to upgrade their symbols with part-time institutions which are registered with the Ministry of Education and or join COSDECs for other critical skills. Based on the performance of the 2014 Grade 12 can-
didates it is almost certain that 8 300, this is excluding part-time candidates, will qualify for admission to tertiary institutions, compared to the 7 300 in 2013. However, if an E symbol in English is taken into account by institutions of higher learning 10 924 candidates, excluding part-time candidates, will qualify for university admission. In a press briefing on Wednesday, Dr David Namwandi, Minister of Education encouraged those learners who did not make it, by saying, “I

Beloftes dat hy die geld gaan terugbetaal, aangesien die voertuig “ongelukkig klaar verkoop” was, is blykbaar toe gemaak. Hy het blykbaar ook aangevoer dat hy besig was om ‘n tjek by FNB in Swakopmund te wissel. Tot gisternamiddag het terugbetaling nie geskied nie en die koper het die koerant ingelig dat hy ‘n klag van bedrog aanhangig gaan maak. Nog ‘n slagoffer in Walvisbaai het gisteroggend die koerant in kennis gestel dat hy verlede Saterdag al die pad uit die hawedorp na Rehoboth gereis het om die Quantum bussie te gaan koop. Die adverteerder het hom blykbaar telefonies ingelig dat die voertuig in Rehoboth was en dat hy sommer die kontant kon saambring. In Windhoek was dit volgens hom ‘n deurmekaarspul, met die verkoper wat allerhande
draaitjies met hom wou loop en hy het later met publieke vervoer na Rehoboth gegaan, waar daar geen spoor van die koper of die bussie was nie. Hy noem dat hy baie gelukkig was, aangesien hy verkies het om persoonlik te gaan en nie enige geld in te betaal nie. Hy het egter ongeveer ‘n N$1 000 aan vervoerkoste na die binneland bestee. *Naam van adverteerder is bekend, maar aangesien geen kriminele klag nog aanhangig gemaak is nie, word dit weerhou.
tries and the South African media. David Robertson then started driving though the southern African countries visiting hospitals, schools, health centres and holding press conference in each country. The journey was both challenging and dangerous due to dreadful driving conditions, bandits, armed military, desert crossings and minefields, but this did not deter Robertson’s mission with DAM. In fact, it made him more determined than ever to fight malaria for the children of Africa. In November 1999, David Robertson met Julia Samuel in Ghana while giving away nets to hospitals. She was there to film “the mad man with the one leg and one arm in a 4x4 driving through Africa alone” on assignment for Top Gear in the Netherlands. Julia, a seasoned, international award-winning tv presenter and producer, previously from RTI Hilversum,and medical doctor, has now been David’s teammate and companion for the last 16 years. She says she was so inspired by the man and his cause when she met him in 1999, that she decided to follow him on his campaign for a year - she never returned to her high-profile life – she stayed and is now a pillar of strength for David Robertson. Unlike many others who have come to Africa and left a trail of destruction and death – they leave one of hope and inspiration. Since the inception of DAM, they have followed their ‘Zero Overhead Philosophy’. That means that DAM uses every cent received from donors towards their goal, without dishing out salaries, bonuses and expensive offices – and the team is adamant that it will stay like that – “because every cent spent otherwise means fewer mosquito nets to distribute.” They say, one of the most dangerous perceptions in Africa, that malaria is ‘under control’, is often strengthened by the very governments of the day in countries where up to 67 percent of their people are infected by the human parasite, Plasmodium. While countries and governments mobilise millions of dollar against terrorists, it seems that they are less perturbed and much less mobilised against ma-
laria, the silent killer of one child under 5, every minute of each day. in Sub-Sahara Africa. “Each year there are up to 500 million clinical cases of malaria and 3 000 deaths per day of children under five years of age, yet malaria is preventable and curable. Drive Against Malaria’s policy is to give away long lasting mosquito nets to children under five and pregnant woman in the poorest communities of Africa.” Plasmodium parasites are
transmitted from person to person via the bites of infected female anopheles mosquitos. These blood-sucking female mosquitoes feed on humans during the night. Yes, it’s definitely a she! And no, she doesn’t make a sound – she attacks in deadly silence – and when she strikes, she attacks aggressively, driven by an excruciating lust for blood.

by rebels. The message David and Julia come to share, is clear and shocking: In the 21 century, Malaria is still the biggest killer on earth.
She drives herself into her prey, injects an anaesthetic into her prey (preferably children under five and pregnant women – but else, anyone will do) – and then, for 90 seconds, she sits and sucks the lifeblood from her oblivious victim… if she’s been infected, she leaves behind the Plasmodium parasites, who aim for the victim’s liver immediately, “then infect red blood cells, causing the cells to burst out. Malaria can quickly become life threatening by disrupting the blood supply to vital organs, particularly the brain.” David says his dream is to stop malaria in Africa by giving away free treatment with long-lasting impregnated mosquito nets.

They will focus on regions like Kaokoland, Ohangwena, Omusati and others, as well as Cunene in Angola. Julia has indicated that she will keep us updated from the North – with weekly letters on what they find regarding malaria infestation. She says the DAM team heading North consists of two people – David and Julia - and their Land Rover at this stage, but they expect the convoy to grow as the drive in Namibia gets a life of its own. In some countries DAM grew to up to 27 vehicles, under which two container carriers, as international and national organisations, the government and benefactors offer their help and humanitarian support.

The cost of tampering with the legal system
-Nampol docket thief behind barsMadelaine Laubscher After the Nampol clerk, Ms Christaline Von Broen (30) was sentenced to two and a half years behind bars at the Walvis Bay Magistrate's court on Monday, for stealing and selling police dockets, the newspaper looked into the effect it has on the legal system as a whole. Von Broen was sentenced by Magistrate Vicky Nicolaidis to 12 and 18 months in prison in the hope that she would rehabilitate herself. The namib times spoke to Deputy Commissioner Andreas Nelumbu about the negative effect it has on the community as well as the legal system. “What Von Broen did leaves a very bad vibe in the community. A person who tampers with justice causes people to have doubt in the legal system. The solution to this prob-
lem could be to make accused persons realise they must rather face what they have done and accept the penalties instead of trying to protect themselves from it. They must understand that if the situation was turned around, someone might as well have wronged them and they would have wanted justice to prevail. They must live by the rule that you cannot do to another what you do not want done to you. It is just not right,” he said.
Court 14 January 2015
Alberto Bohitile (32) appeared on a charge of housebreaking with the intent to steal and theft and a charge of obstructing the course of justice. The matter was postponed to 24 February 2015 for the suspect to gain legal representation. The accused remains in custody. Leena Mwelihangela (29) appeared on a charge of fraud. The matter was postponed to 20 May 2015 for plea and trial. The accused is out on bail. Alweendo Timoteus (28) and Amakali Neto (34) appeared on a charge of robbery respectively. The matter was postponed to 23 February 2015 for further investigations. The suspects are out on bail. David Kashupi (32) appeared on a charge of theft. The matter was postponed to 4 February 2015 for further investigations. The accused remains in custody. A 14 year old minor appeared on a charge of housebreaking with the intent to steal and theft. The matter was postponed to 18 February 2015 for juvenile pre-trial community service. The accused was released in the care of a guardian. Vendelinus Shivolo (23) appeared on a charge of robbery. The matter was postponed to 17 February 2015 for further investigations. The accused remains in custody. Antonius Williams (26) appeared on a charge of common assault.

The accused is out on bail. Immanuel Shipangana (31) appeared on a charge of driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor. The matter was postponed to 18 March 2015 for trial.
According to the court record the accused appeared on six charges involving docket theft and obstruction of justice and offered to pay a fine of N$7 000 instead in a plea to not be jailed. Nicolaidis said that an offender who commits theft shows a deliberate disregard for the law and property of others. “Case dockets were stolen that had little financial significance. The accused had access to the property. As a Nampol employee, she is held to a higher standard than those
who steal televisions or mobile phones. Dockets have considerably more value than these material goods.” Von Broen was arrested on 15 June 2013 and appeared on three counts of obstructing the law but was released on bail. A trap was set and she was caught again stealing a case docket which she intended to sell for N$1 500. She was subsequently asked what happened to the very first docket she stole and what she wanted

Mondesa, DRC turning into a garbage dumping site Marshallino Beukes
Swakopmund is described by many as the cleanest town in the country, but contrary to this, the town's Mondesa and DRC suburbs are starting to transform into garbage dump sites. The Erongo Region's Governor, Mr Cleophas Mutjavikua, launched a clean-up campaign in DRC on 10 December last year, encouraging the local authorities to follow suit, but this clearly is not the case. More than a month has passed since the cleanup campaign and the state of affairs, regarding filthiness in these two suburbs, are shocking to say the least. Who is to blame? The town's municipality or the residents? The newspaper visited several of these sites and it
was clear that both parties are to blame. Skips for the dumping of household garbage are placed at strategic locations in the suburbs, but residents seem to ignore these clearly visible, big orange skips and are dumping their trash next to the containers. However, in some instances these skips are not emptied on a regular basis by the municipality, thus encouraging residents to dump trash all over the said areas. Municipal workers, emptying these skips also seem to
turn a blind eye on the rubbish piles surrounding these skips. “We pay with our hardearned money for municipal services, but year after year we are subjected to this kind of treatment and circumstances. If we don't pay our municipality bills on time, our services are terminated. We want the town’s administrators and people responsible for refuse removal to clean up their act and do what they are being paid big bucks for,” some of the residents fumed. Household refuse,
building rubble, garden rubbish, old electrical appliances and even timeworn matrasses make out the garbage, dumped next to the containers. The newspaper witnessed children playing in and with this trash, which surely is unhygienic and even
dangerous. “Is the reason for this neglecting of services rendered to us in Mondesa and DRC because we are poor and mostly black people? Our money is the same colour as those of other suburb's residents,” the namib times was asked. One concerned resident
of Mondesa noted that the authorities should consider educating the people on these issues and also try to personally visit these areas in order to familiarise themselves with the agonising surroundings people are living in. The town's mayor, Mr Juuso
Kambueshe commented that the Council will issue a statement on the scenario as soon as they have given a report, regarding the issue, to Governor Cleophas Mutjavikua. The Governor was not available for comment, yesterday afternoon.

Obtaining Fishing
Permits
Goodbye - till we meet again The passengers of the MSC Opera passenger liner wave goodbye to the people on shore as they depart under the booming reverberations of the ship’s horn on Wednesday
Obtain a permit from the Namibian Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources (MFMR) to catch fish or dive for crayfish and respect harvesting limitations.
Photo by Bernabé Blaauw
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?

Speculation that the Schottel Rudder Propulsion (SRP) was damaged could also not be confirmed. However, the same source confirmed that the extensive mechanical refurbishment that had been done last year had nothing to do with the sinking of the boat as the engines were in perfect working condition as they enabled the vessel to reach the jetty in time to dock. An eyewitness on the scene that night has said that he saw the tug entering the fishing harbour just after 19:00 and that she was heavily listing towards the starboard side. She then steered towards the Merlus jetty where she was tied up. He said that it was clear that she was taking in water at an alarming
rate. Marine companies Subtech Diving and Marine, Extreme Projects Namibia and Skeleton Coast Marine reacted immediately to control environmental damage under the supervision of Salvage Master Johan Kilian. Around 23:00 it appeared as though the bow of the “Omanda” was resting on the bottom of the harbour while an air pocket in the stern apparently still kept the stern of the vessel afloat. However, she sank even lower and fully came to rest on the bottom just after 23:00 in spite of all efforts and the assistance of the tugboat “Flamingo”. On Wednesday Namport stated in a press release that, “ At approximately
19h40 on 13 January 2015, whilst busy with tugboat operations, the Namport tugboat “Omanda” informed Port Control that they have an emergency on board and that they are taking on water in the engine room. The location of the boat was in the Port of Walvis Bay fishing harbour close to the Merlus fishing factory. The tugboat master was then instructed to steam to the closest available berth in the fishing harbour before she loses engine power, which was the Merlus fishing factory jetty. Other Namport tugboats were then dispatched to the scene to provide immediate assistance. Emergency procedures were implemented and all relevant personnel were
called to the scene at the Merlus jetty where the boat was tied up alongside the jetty. The crew of the boat then disembarked. The boat was still taking on water and severely listing to the starboard side. Pollution combating equipment such as oil containment booms were deployed around the vessel to prevent any fuel spill from escaping the immediate area around the vessel. All possible efforts were made to prevent the boat from sinking but to no avail. The boat sank next to the Merlus jetty at approximately 23h00 on 13 January 2015, which is where she remains. In confirmation as to the uncertainty on the scene for the reasons for the tugboat’s demise, the press

Contrary to reports that salvage operations of the Namport tugboat “Omanda” have commenced, a reliable source has stated that salvage can only start, once the insurance assessors have determined the exact cause for the incident and the extent of the damage. The vessel sank next to the Merlus jetty in the fishing harbour shortly after 23:00 on Tuesday evening. The case is still under investigation.

release further stated that “ the cause of the incident is still unknown and is currently being investigated. No other vessels were involved in the incident. No person was injured during this operation, neither was there any damage to 3rd party property.” Rumours were also abound that the sinking of the “Omanda” left the harbour authority in a crisis because they had only one operational tugboat left. It was subsequently confirmed that the “Flamingo” and “Onkoshi” are still fully operational and the statement continued, “Namport maintains a fleet of several tugboats and all port users are assured that the loss of this one tugboat will not adversely affect port operations.”

A Hadeda with a week-old chick on 6 December 2014 at Namushasha River Lodge
Hadeda nest on 23 November 2014 in a large tree. It was built some 4 m above the ground on lateral branches overhanging the river and contained a clutch of two eggs. By 6 December one of the chicks had already hatched. The ibis family deserted the nest in early January. The manager of Namushasha River Lodge, Otto von Kaschke, first noticed a Hadeda nest in November 2013, about 1.5 km downstream of the lodge. Since the bird in the nest seemed agitated it is likely that it was incubating. This is only the fifth time that Hadeda ibises were seen breeding in Namibia. Two nests with chicks were discovered in November 2012 and 2013
Gondwana Collection
The Godwana collection Namibia has announced via a press release that the Namushasha River Lodge had very special guests during the past months: Hadeda ibises nested on the banks of the Kwando River and had a clutch of two eggs. According to lodge manager Otto von Kaschke they left the nest in January.
Nesting Hadeda at Namushasha River Lodge on the Kwandu River in the vicinity of Mazambala Lodge and another one about six years ago at Susuwe Camp. During the early 1980s the Hadeda was considered a rare species in Namibia. It was only observed
in the eastern Zambezi Region and was even included in the first draft of the national red list of endangered bird species. Since then, however, this type of ibis has spread west, further into Namibia. Now it also occurs
along the length of the Kavango River and during the rainy season in Khaudum National Park. In the far south Hadeda ibises can be found in the lower reaches of the Orange River.
Die Dag wat was - 15 Januarie 2015
Suid-Afrikaanse soldate het Swakopmund gister, 100 jaar gelede binnegeval. Bronne verskil effens, want ‘n inskrywing op Google toon dat dit op 14 Januarie was, terwyl Klaus Dierks skryf dat dit 15 Januarie 1915 was. ‘n Besoek gisteroggend aan die museum langs die strand op die dorp het niks opgelewer nie en ek is na die Sam Cohen-biblioteek verwys. Dit is waar jy die Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft, Swakopmund kry. Daar het Trudie Stols geduldig geluister, boeke nageslaan, foto’s uitgehaal en uiteindelik bevind dat dit in die nag van 14/15 Januarie, 100 jaar gelede begin het. Wat ‘n leersame twee ure… As part of an attempt to display its loyalty to the British empire and, perhaps more importantly, enlarge its own sphere of influence on the African continent, South Africa sends troops to occupy Swakopmund, a seaside town in German-occupied Southwest Africa (modern-day Namibia). When war broke out in 1914, South African Prime Minister Louis Botha immediately pledged full support for Britain, antago-
nizing a portion of South Africa's ruling Afrikaner (or Boer) population, who were still resentful of their defeat, at the hands of the British, in the Boer War of 1899-1902. That conflict had pitted the Boers, descendants of South Africa's Dutch settlers who controlled two republics—the goldrich Transvaal and the Orange Free State— against the colonial armies of Great Britain. A stiff Boer resistance, including an extensive
campaign of guerrilla warfare, had ultimately been repressed by brutal methods—including concentration camps—introduced by the British commander in chief, Lord Horatio Herbert Kitchener (who later became Britain's minister of war). Under the terms of the Treaty of Vereeniging, which ended the Boer War in 1902, the Boer republics were granted eventual self-government as colonies of the British Empire.

Liefie
Ek wil u vandag voorstel aan ‘n persoon, wat volgens my mening die frase, ‘sout van die aarde’, se verpersoonliking is. Nederigheid, medemenslikheid, respek, lojaliteit en integriteit is sy wagwoorde…ontmoet vir oom Boets... Oom Boets is ‘n gebore Swakopmunder en leef in ‘n nederige plekkie in Mondesa, waar hy op eie houtjie sy pot aan die kook hou. Hy is een van die hardwerkendste mense wat ek nog ontmoet het, want oom Boets het te midde moeilike dae, nog nooit sonder werk gelê nie, “want hy het mos nie ronde hande nie!” Nadat hy sy skoolloopbaan voltooi het, moes hy die destydse Suidwes Afrikaanse Weermag join. Dié het oom Boets kafgedraf en hom daarna tot hande-arbeid gewend. Vandag is hy een van die beste in sy ambag en kan duisende dollar daarmee verdien, maar oom Boets noem dat hy nie ryk wil wees nie; nee, hy wil net gemaklik leef. “Wakiet [sleng vir ‘my vriend’] solank my dak (blyplek) betaal is, my potte nie stil is nie, my rookgoedjies daar is en so nou en dan ‘n biekie lawaaiwater, is alles reg,” vertel oom Boets. “Weet jy, ek het soms slapelose nagte, as die einde van die maand nader kom, en my ‘dak’ se sente is nie vol nie. Dai is die eerste ding
wat ‘n man moet na kyk, jou dak,” gaan hy voort. Kort voor lank slaan die geselskap ‘n heeltemaal ander rigting in, want oom Boets begin gee sy menings oor wêreldsake. En kyk, hier moet u nie ‘n fout maak nie, want hy het meer algemene kennis as die meeste mense wat ek al teëgekom het. Elke koerant word tot op die laaste letter deurgelees (met oë wat soms nie so lekker wil fokus nie) en oom Boets is sommer omgekrap as hy sy nuus oor die radio gemis het. Van die jongste verwikkelinge rondom die ebola virus, Airasia se vlug QZ8501, die Charlie Hebdo insident, Boko Haram en noem maar op, daarvan sal jy vir oom Boets niks kan vertel nie! Klassieke jazz musiek begin oor oom Boets se radio weerklink en ons gesprek is heeltemaal vergete, want sien, jazz is sy musiek. Kunstenaars soos Frankie Beverly, Maze, Bob James, Grover Washington en Brass Construction, wat vir baie van ons Griekse name is, is oom Boets se lyn en glo my, hy ken sy classical jazz. Dus, wanneer u weer ‘n ambagsman, boemelaar, prostituut, of wat ook al raakloop, kyk bietjie verder as sy/haar klere, werk, of doen en late… net dalkies skuil daar ‘n oom Boets agter die uiterlike…
Ek wil om verskoning vra vir my stilte, maar ek kon net nie uit die “festive feeling” uitkom nie. Met my instap by die kantoor het die brokkies entoesiasties by my mond uitgeborrel. Liefie het oor die feestyd die gruwelikste dinge raakgeloop, van kaal mans op die strand oujaarsaand, tot besope jong dames wat skaars voor hulle kon sien. Ja, I kid you not, ‘n kaal man het homself verspot gehou op die strand en vir die wat belangstel ‘n show gegee, al het hy kort-kort oor sy voete geval en sand geëet. Hy het later sy groen, sanderige onderbroek aangetrek en verdwyn. Gelukkig was dit anders as met Aspoestertjie se skoentjie, want ek glo nie iemand sou regtig daai groen onderbroek na sy
baas wou help soek nie. En dan kom ons by die “baai se kinners” wat nag na nag vir hulle met dronkenskap opgehou het. Siesa man girls, om ‘n drankie of 3 te geniet is niks, maar julle hoef regtig nie te mik na bewusteloosheid nie. Drank sal nooit uit die mode uitgaan nie, so julle kan maar stadig. ‘n Mooi meisie, dronk en sleeptong, met haar onderklere wat uitsteek is lankal al uit die mode uit. Liefie gaan sit ‘n tydtjie terug by ‘n “fast food” plekkie in die dorp, en in die hitte van daai dag kon hulle my nie eens ‘n
koue drankie aanbied nie – tot my skok redeneer hulle liewer oor hoekom hulle nie ys, roomys of milkshakes het nie. Maar mense, hoe maak julle nog besigheid, want alles bly net “out of stock”? En dit is nie die ergste nie: nie net kry hulle my order verkeerd nie, maar ook staan en grawe die dame in die kombuis in haar neus. Ek is baie bewus daarvan dat neuskrap ‘n nasionale sport in Namibië is – maar asseblief, moet nie oefen vir Namibiese kleure daarvoor terwyl jy met kos werk nie!
‘n Ander ding, ouers, hou ‘n ogie oor julle kinders soos hulle regmaak vir skool, want kinders try enigiets deesdae. Nes die laerskoolmeisie op die eerste dag van skool: toe hulle by die skool aankom sien haar moeder eers hoe bedek is haar gesig met grimering. Sy gryp toe onmiddelik ‘n tissue en begin dit afvee, terwyl sy haar dogter kliphard vra: “Gaan jy skool toe of gaan jy werk toe? Haal af daai goeters!”. So, spaar julle die verleentheid. Verder, don’t talk to strangers, hou moed vir Januariemaand.

Security Academy makes it to the coast Mavourlene Gaes
Ultimate Risk and Security Management Services (URSMS) made their way over to Walvis Bay and hosted their first registration process in the harbour town this week. URSMS is a private sector role player which contributes through its participation in complimenting, fostering, supporting and enhancing national legislative requirements in Risk, Safety and Security in order to make organisations, institutions and business entities compliant to such legal requirements. According to the Rector of URSMS Charles Eiseb, the institute was established by Namibians and has submitted an application a year ago for accreditation with Namibia Qualification Authority (NQA). The academy is set to start with their training next month and are currently registering interested students. The academy had a successful registration day in Walvis Bay. The institution focuses on three levels for three years (one for each year), level four which is a Certificate in safety and security. After the completion of level five
the students will receive a higher Certificate in safety and security management. At the last level (level six) students will receive a Diploma in safety and security management. Eiseb says URSMS is the only institution who offers distance qualification in safety and security, with lecturers who are on standby to assist students and prepare them for examination. “Although safety and security is one of the biggest industries in the country it is also neglected and it is out of this need that the in-
stitute was established” he says. URSMS offer six subjects for each qualification; three subjects will be completed in the first semester and three in the second semester. Interested candidates will have to pay N$100 for application fees and hand in the required documents for processing. “I am not saying that graduating from the academy will be a guarantee that you will automatically be accepted in the police force but, it can serve as a plus point” says Eiseb.
‘Multi-billion dollar industry’ with power to transform developing countries
The software powering YouTube and Instagram could help shape a more prosperous future for an African country as part of a project run by a British University. The free programming language Python is hugely popular around the world and is an important player in the multi-billion open source software dollar industry. As well as Internet sites, it is very widely used in science, medicine, data analysis and infrastructure applications including air traffic control. Now, the software’s international users are being brought together in Namibia to share ideas as part of a project run by Cardiff University in Wales, together with the University of Namibia. Python Namibia 2015, Namibia’s first international Python software development conference, takes place in Windhoek, Namibia from 2-5 February hosted by the University of
Namibia, for four days of talks, workshops, collaborative coding and community development. This event aims to lay the groundwork for future open-source software development and community activity in Namibia, including an event in Windhoek in 2016 organised by the Namibian Python community. Organisers hope Namibia’s Python users, plus around 40 students from the University of Namibia which is hosting the event, will develop the software for their own and their country’s needs. Many people believe that open-source software which is free to use, adapt and distribute - is one key to the future well-being and prosperity of devel-
oping nations and their people. A modern, easyto-learn language such as Python with a huge global community and a vast range of applications is ideally suited to being part of this. Software developer and Python Namibia organiser, Daniele Procida used to work at Cardiff University’s School of Medicine and still lives in Cardiff, despite now working for the Swiss web agency Divio AG [http://divio.ch/] - which is also supporting the project. He believes the type of freedom he enjoys to work in a different country from his employer can eventually make a real difference to Namibia. “If, for example, a Namibian trains as a nurse and
wants to bring in more money, they will have done their training in Namibia but may end up taking a job in the West,” he said. “The country will have invested in the nurse’s training, but may lose out on the benefits. “The work of software developers on the other hand can take place anywhere - unlike nurses, programmers don’t need to live and work at the point of delivery. “If we are successful in encouraging the creation of a cohort of programmers with in-demand skills, we could see Western companies employing African programmers who live and work in Africa, earning and spending in their own economies. “It is a multi-billion dollar industry and there is a global
shortage of Python programmers. “Meanwhile, a nation’s investment in open source skills and technology is one with enduring benefits for its own IT needs.” Mr Procida added Python had many possible applications in Namibia, such as being used to improve the communications infrastructure, which could bring major benefits for healthcare for example. Python Namibia is part of The Phoenix Project, a major initiative between Cardiff University and the University of Namibia, and is the result of a collaboration between the two universities and people and organisations in the international Python community. Professor Judith Hall, who is leading The Phoe-
nix Project, said: “Cardiff University is working with the University of Namibia to help develop expertise in this field. “It offers Namibia the opportunity to enter an international community of free software writing that avoids the need to buy in expensive consultants. “It allows Namibia to develop its own talent and participate on an equal footing with international partners.” Cardiff University is recognised in independent government assessments as one of Britain’s leading teaching and research universities and is a member of the Russell Group of the UK’s most research intensive universities. Among its academic staff are two Nobel Laureates, including the winner of the
2007 Nobel Prize for Medicine, University Chancellor Professor Sir Martin Evans. Founded by Royal Charter in 1883, today the University combines impressive modern facilities and a dynamic approach to teaching and research. The University’s breadth of expertise encompasses: the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; the College of Biomedical and Life Sciences; and the College of Physical Sciences and Engineering, along with a longstanding commitment to lifelong learning. Cardiff ’s four flagship Research Institutes are offering radical new approaches to cancer stem cells, catalysis, neurosciences and mental health and sustainable places.

Walvisbaai se skoolgetalle vir 2015 in fokus
Liesl Losper Liesl Losper Met die namib times se besoeke aan die plaaslike skole was dit 'n hartseertoneel om toe te kyk hoe ouers aandring op plek vir hul kinders, terwyl die skool se personeel met die hande in die hare staan weens gebrek aan plek. Skoolhoofde van verskillende skole beskryf dit as 'n nagmerrie maar op die 2de skooldag het alles reeds in plek begin val en is hul hard besig om leerlinge te akommodeer. Namiddagklasse is weereens ingestel as 'n oplossing vir oorvol skole. Duneside High School Die skool het vanjaar 420 leerlinge. Hul Graad 1 inskrywings is 28. Mev A Einbeck is die skoolhoof en hul atletiekbedrywighede begin volgende week. De Duine Sekondêre Skool Die skool het vanjaar
980 leerlinge. Mnr J A Van Wyk is die skoolhoof. Hulle begin ook volgende week met atletiekoefening. Twee nuwe onderwysers is aangestel: A Links (Engels) en C Mubiana (Ontwerp en Tegnologie). Flamingo Primary School Die skool het 846 leerlinge, wat pre-primêre inskrywings insluit. Daar is 3 klasse vir Graad 1 waarvan elke klas 38 leerlinge het. Weens die toestroming van Graad 1 innames het die skool ook namiddagklasse van 12:00 – 17:00.
Dit sluit 4 klasse in wat 38 kinders in elkeen akkommodeer. Dit is ook hul eerste jaar dat hul Graad 8 ook akkommodeer en die skoolhoof, Mev Damens het aan die namib times gesê hulle is baie opgewonde en sien uit na die uitdaging. Hul atletiekgereedsheidsprogram begin volgende week. Walvisbaai Primêre skool Die skool het altesaam 527 leerlinge vir die jaar, waarvan 70 Graad 1 leerlinge geakkommodeer is. Die skoolhoof is Carina Ferreira. Hul eerste atletiekbyeenkoms gaan plaasvind op 24 Januarie. Die skool het ook 6 nuwe onderwysers aan boord vir 2015. Walvisbaai Hoërskool Die skool kon 679 leerlinge akkommodeer vir die jaar.
Mev Eigelaar is die skoolhoof, hul atletiekoefening begin volgende week en hul gaan hul atletiekbyeenkoms in Februarie hou. JP Brand Primêre Skool Die skool het 241 leerlinge en is nog steeds besig om leerlinge te probeer akkommodeer vir 2015. Hul Graad 1 klas het 35 leerlinge. Mnr Imanuel Keib is die hoof. Atletiekoefeninge begin ook volgende week. Tutaleni Primêre Skool Dié skool het vir die jaar ongeveer 1400 leerlinge ingeneem – die getal was nog nie finaal nie. Mnr JW Damaseb is die hoof. !Nara Primêre Skool Nara Primêre Skool het hierdie jaar 1264 geakkommodeer, onder wie daar kinders is wat nog nie opgedaag het nie. Hul Graad 1 innames staan tans op 311. Hulle het in totaal 38
onderwysers van wie 7 nuwe onderwysers is. Hul atletiekbyeenkoms gaan in Februarie gehou word. Narraville Primêre Skool In totaal het die skool 1 463 leerlinge vanjaar. In Graad 1 is daar 210 leerlinge ingeskryf, maar die skoolhoof, mnr P Fischer, sê die plasingsproses is nog nie afgehandel nie, en getalle vir dié klasse sal verander. Die skool het een nuwe onderwyser aan boord, en die atletiekoefeninge begin Maandag. Kolin Foundation Sekondêre skool, Arandis Hulle het teen druktyd nog nie die totale beskikbaar gehad nie, maar hul akkommodeer die leerlinge en ondervind nie enige toestroming nie. Mnr Geiseb is die skoolhoof en hul atletiek-
oefenprogram begin Maandag. Urbanus B Dax Primary School, Arandis Die skool het 310 leerlinge vir hul 2015skooljaar en hul akkommodeer net graad 5 en 7. Me Kazombiaze, hoof van die onderwysdepartement, het die namib times meegedeel dat hul geensins probleme ondervind by hul skool, met leerlinge wat hul moet wegwys nie. Mnr Gabriel Kharuchab is die hoof. Kamwandi Skool, Hentiesbaai Dié gekombineerde skool van Graad 0 tot tien, het vanjaar 1 016 ingeskrewe leerlinge. In Graad 1 is daar 138 leerlinge in drie klasse geplaas, maar hulle werk daaraan om dit na vier klasse te verander. Die skoolhoof, me H Speelman, sê hulle moes ongelukkig een Graad 9 leerling wegwys, wat
saam met verskeie ander leerlinge, van ander plekke af gekom het om in dié skool plek te soek, omdat die twee Graad 9 klasse elk reeds oorvol was met meer as 40 leerlinge elk. Sy sê 2 nuwe onderwysers het die jaar daar begin, en hulle atletiekbyeenkoms sal op 30 Januarie plaasvind. Swakopmund Primary School Die 2015 totaal vir die skool is 956. Daar is 120 leerlinge in Graad 1 en daar is 40 leerlinge in elke klas. Die skool het ook vanjaar drie nuwe onderwysers. Hulle atletiek-byeenkoms sal op 11 Februarie plaasvind. Swakopmund se ander skole se syfers was teen druktyd nog nie beskikbaar nie - teen volgende week sal hulle finale syfers beskikbaar hê.

Choose wisely who you invest in for your child's education Sharlien Tjambari
It is that time of the year when the Grade 12 results are out. Parents are desperate to keep their children from the streets. But, beware, there are many colleges and institutions that are not accredited with the Namibian Qualifications Authority (NQA). The namib times contacted NQA in Windhoek to find out if it was safe for parents to send their children to certain institutions. It was advised that students and parents should do research on their own or call NQA to find out which institutions and colleges are accredited before they enrol into any institution of their choice. Ms Catherine Shipushu of the NQA says there are certain colleges/institutions which have many programs that are not accredited. Many parents end up losing money after
years of investing in a college or institution that is not accredited and the children end up on the streets again, because they eventually do not have a worthy document or diploma from an accredited institution. College of the Arts, International University of Management (IUM), Monitronic Success College, Institute of Open Learning and many other institutions are part of those accredited at NQA level. The parents are advised to visit www. namqa.org to find out which institutions are accredited and which programs at the
institution are accredited as well. According to Ms Shipushu the accreditation certificates expire within three years and after these three years the institutions are required to re-apply for a accreditation. Ms Shipushu also says she cannot comment on how many institutions are not accredited as there are many institutions which are not even registered as training or educational institutions. So, parents and students, beware – make sure you enrol in an NQA-accredited institution!

First-Day Mania Piquet Jacobs reminiscing
There's no escaping the fact that the first day of school can be crazy. New kids wander around in circles, and can't find their classes.
The school bullies are on the hunt for eligible candidates to pick on for the year. Some of the school fashionistas are trying to pass through with crazy make-up, and the seniors are already preying on the junior beauties. It's much worse for
the Grade 1's, scared and nervous, they don't know what to expect. I was six years old when I was first admitted to school. My elder sister was in Grade 5 by then, it was decided that I would attend the same school. I was a bit nervous at first.
It was a new and unknown world to me. I feared that I would be among strangers. I did not know how the kids would receive me. I was also scared of the teachers. But my parents and sister encouraged me, they said that at school I would get playmates of my age. The teachers were actually affectionate. At last I got over my fear and nervousness to some extent and I made it through the day. The years that followed were a breeze – I worked my way through. The first day of high school however was a different story. It was the first day and the first thing I was worried about was whether all my friends would be there and what the plan of action was to survive the first week. We were the “newcomers”, “guppies” as they called us, and a
range of inappropriate and humiliating tasks awaited us for the first week. My first day was, to sum it all up, a day of crazy events; I had egg on my face, had to ask seniors on dates and was robbed of my lunch money. I had it easy though, a few of my friends were on the verge of tears. We survived though, and I went through my 5 years of high school. I can't say they were my best years but I can say they were my most educational years, of course I wouldn't say that they weren't fun because they were. Back to the point, hopefully the little ones could combat the first-day chaos, most of them perhaps – like me, then - by just shadowing through it all. Once you've gotten through the first day, you're safe, and the world is your oyster.

2014 Market Review and 2015 Outlook 2014 saw heightened volatility due to widespread geopolitical tensions, a Chinese South Africa has also slowdown, Europe's instability and oil price depression. Stock markets corrected in the had a rough year.

This portfolio consists of a combination of SA property, shares and global shares denominated in SA Rand. Growth returned around 14% for the year and shows the impact of the stock market correction. Considering this, our own investment portfolios focussing on capital safety returned between 7% and 10% for 2014. Our portfolios based on capital growth returned between 11% and 12%. These are slightly below the long-term average outcomes one can expect for these portfolios. We thus repeat our warning of previous years – investors should lower their expectations and income requirements as we cannot continue to receive the excess returns we enjoyed since 2009.

positive returns with a 5.5% outcome for 2014. Bonds experienced instability in the face of rising interest rate expectations.
rica (US) The Federal Reserve Bank of the US (Fed) has carefully removed quantitative easing from the bond market, proving the economy is finally back on its feet after the 2008/9 Financial Crisis. US bond yields have been slow to normalise. This coupled with low inflationary pressures have given the Fed scope to keep short-term interests lower for longer. Job creation has improved, the US Dollar (USD) is strengthening and the economy has recovered. The real economy is expected to grow by between 2.5% and 3%, as forecasted by Blackrock and Pimco analysts. However, the Fed has a challenging task of normalising monetary policy through raising interest rates in 2015. Raising rates too soon or too fast could add a burst of volatility into the stock and bond markets. The USD is expected to continue to strengthen into 2015 as other economies struggle with their own challenges.
All in all it was a tough year: bonds gave less than 10% and shares made around 12%. Listed property share prices surprised every-
provide economic stimulus throughout 2014 as it struggles to recover from the Global Financial Crisis. Tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine have wearied sentiment towards Europe. Pimco expect the Eurozone to grow by about 1% in 2015, continuing a painfully slow climb out of a double-dip recession. The European Central Bank (ECB) is adding more quantitative easing in the hopes of spurring g r o w t h . H o w e v e r, excessive liquidity caused by this accommodating stimulus is dampening inflation. The EU could, therefore, fall back into a deflationary recession. It is expected that lower interest rates in Europe (and in Japan) will increase the demand for long-term US bonds.
Asia Chinese economic growth experienced a slowdown in 2014, further fuelled by prodemocracy protests in Hong Kong. B l a c k ro c k a n a l y s t s European Union (EU) predict a continuation of The EU has continued to this slower real GDP

growth of about 6.5% for the year ahead. Japan is burdened by a heavy debt ratio and a falling Yen, leaving the country on the brink of a recession. Serious risks of deflation prevail as the Central Bank follows the ECB's example of increasing quantitative easing. Japan's real GDP is expected to grow by between 1% and 1.5% in 2015. Asian equities are undervalued and attractive for investors who are willing to accept the country risk. Emerging Markets (EM's) A strengthening USD and falling commodity and resource prices (especially Brent Crude oil to below US$60 per barrel) is weighing heavily on most EM's. Oil exporters, such as Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Angola have been suffering, whilst importers have felt some relief from lower prices on inflation pressures. Ebola has hampered the transport and tourism industries on a global scale. In addition, Russia has entered into recession with the Ruble taking a massive beating.
the country include the fall of African Bank Limited in mid-2014 and it being placed under curatorship, which led the decisions of rating agencies to downgrade the out-look of SA financial institutions. The slowing China lowered the demand for resources, thereby adding volatility to share prices. The double deficit of the government also remains a serious cause for concern. Eskom's load shedding and strikes in the mining and platinum sectors dampened economic growth. Initially the retirement of former SA Reserve Bank governor Markus might have raised some concerns, but was fortunately well executed and the position covered by the capable Kganyago. EM's are expected to have continued inflation relief from low oil prices, but will be
challenged by the Fed's policy tightening introducing heightened volatility and more downward pressures on EM currencies. Low commodity prices will continue to limit exporters in the coming year. In Conclusion Investor sentiment starts the year off on a weak footing. Volatility will probably remain high going into 2015. Te c h n o l o g i c a l a n d financial stocks are expected to stay at the top of the list, whilst energy sector shares are expected to suffer. Gold is likely to come under further pressure from poor supply-and-demand dynamics, a strong USD, rising interest rates and a benign inflation outlook. Talk of the US interest rate hikes in 2015 has already sparked instability in the bond market but may open opportunities elsewhere. SA interest rates are expected to be stable for
2015 and cash remains unattractive. Evidence of budget discipline and more economic growth will be necessary to boost the bond market though the stable interest rates should help. Equities are overall on the expensive side but pockets of value exist. Large industrial stocks are considered expensive, but resource shares are cheap and financials are fairly valued, according to Cannon Asset Managers. Bloomberg and others expect global economic acceleration in 2015, led by accommodating Government policies, a low inflation environment and the expanding US. We wish our clients and readers a Happy New Year and a Prosperous 2015! Uncertain and volatile conditions create many opportunities for the patient long-term investor.

Kenya well prepared ahead of Cricket League Division 2 Tournament Kenya's national coach Stephen Tikolo says his team is well prepared ahead of the Pepsi – ICC World Cricket League Division 2 tournament. “Our preparations went very well. The players are confident”, the 43-year old explained after the squad touched down in Namibia on Tuesday afternoon. The East Africans started their preparations with a training camp in Namibia in November. This gave the team a first-hand look at the local facilities as well as the climate. The tour to Namibia was followed with a training camp in Pakistan before the players got their final edge in Kenya's world-renowned tourism hotspot Mombasa. Kenya will kick off their campaign this Saturday, against Namibia at the Wanderers Sports Club in Windhoek. Tikolo, who took over the as head coach last year January, further stated that the current weather conditions favour his side. “We finished off our preparations in Mombasa since the climate there is similar to Namibia's current weather of heat and humidity,” he said. However, this doesn't make his team a tournament favourite. “I don't see any clear favourite. In a tournament like this, anything can happen. We will take it one game at a time. We respect all teams and take them serious. If everything works out, we hope to make a place among the top two,” Tikolo, who represented his country for over 20 years, stated. The top two teams will, among other benefits, be promoted to World Cricket League Division 1.

Team Rhide Sa @ Dakar Rally Pretoria's Hannes Saaijman excel at Dakar Rally!
According to reports yesterday after Stage 10's 371km Team Rhide SA's Hannes Saaijman jumped into the Top 10 and moved up two positions to the 10th place in the quad category after he finished the stage in 9th place. He is also still leading the First Timers Class comfortably. With only three stages remaining, Hannes (32) is on his way to finish his first ever Dakar Rally. Just to give a slight overview, the two Quad Riders taking part in the Dakar Rally all the way from South Africa is Brian Baragwanath and Hannes Saaijman. However Team Rhide SA's debut Dakar Rally did not start too well for Saaijman and his teammate, Brian Baragwanath, with Baragwanath, who won his entry into the 2015 event by winning the 2014 Dakar Challenge event in Botswana, experiencing engine problems during the very first day. This meant that Saaijman had to tow him for 620 kilometres – 100 kilometres in the special racing stage and more than 500 kilometres on the road to the overnight bivouac where the service crew changed the engine on Baragwanath's Yamaha Raptor. Both riders lost a lot of

time and dropped down the starting order of a field of about 200 motor-cycle and quad compe-titors. They pushed hard to make up for lost time and Baragwanath was posting times on par with those of the top three fastest quad competitors at the first few waypoints. Both riders were slowed down by flat rear tyres. Baragwanath did his best racing with two flat rear tyres at one stage, but he was eventually forced to call it a day after he could not get over the dunes. Saaijman was carrying a spare tyre and had to make use it after he also had four flat wheels. He completed the day's tough 685 kilometres. Team Rhide SA is a Proudly South African Offroad Team consisting of 2 Quad riders who will be competing in the 2015 DAKAR RALLY in South America. The team is competing in the National Off-road Quad Championship in the Q1 and Q2 classes and in other local
Team Rhide SA.
events. The team's goal is to win the 2015 Dakar Rally in the quad category, as well as win the Quad Championship in the South African National Off-road Championship and promote world awareness to SAVE THE RHINO. In addition, assisting on the technical team we have two from our very own, all the way from Walvis Bay, Phillipie Baard and Frank Stein. Despite all the issues, Hannes Saaijman finished the stage 9 in 10th place to keep his current 12th place in the quad standings. He is still lading the First Timers Class as well after acquiring that position from Stage 4. After racing for almost a week and completing just over 4 400 kilometres, Saaijman , has reached the Rest Day of the 2015 Dakar Rally at Iquique in Chile in South America on Monday. The 37th Dakar Rally started on 4 January at Buenos Aires (Argentina) and will finish there on 17 January after motorcycle and quad competitors have completed a total of just over 9 500 kilometres through the toughest terrains in the world. Saaijman, who competed in 34 races during 2014 including two weeklong rally-raid events (the Namaqua African Rally and the Amageza Rally where he did this event on a motorcycle) as well as the Roof of Africa which he completed on his motorcycle, decided to change his strategy. “The terrain is extremely rough and the dust is very, very bad,” he said from the Iquique bivouac in Chile. “The Dakar is not like
racing anything we know back in South Africa and you have to approach it differently. That is what I decided to do,” the tough 32-year old Pretoria businessman said. Stage 10 is where the entire Dakar circus relocate to Argentina via a 385 km liaison. The competitive section of the stage is 358 km in length, and starts once the crews have crossed the border back into Argentina. The route will take competitors over sand, soil and a short tarmac section, and ascend from 3 600 m in altitude to more that 4 500 m before dropping back down to 3 400 m. This is the last of the completely barren desert stages, before the Dakar returns to the lusher landscapes of Argentina. The Dakar is a crosscountry race where vehicles race between GPS waypoints as opposed to existing roads. In a rally (a la WRC) the cars race along closed roads. In an off-road race the competitors follow routes not suitable for cars, but they still have a set route to follow. For the purpose of The Dakar, the event is called a rally (The Dakar Rally), though it doesn't conform to the definition of a traditional rally. It has timed race (stages) and liaison (open road) sections where they do not race against the clock, but still have to depart at certain predetermined times and clock in before a given deadline to avoid time penalties. In a rally, competitors race in similar fashion, but use multiple short stages (up to
25-35km each; around 5 or 6 special stages per day; 23 days per event). In offroad racing an event consists of one long stage on a single day only, and an
event is usually run over 2 days. The Dakar lasts 14 days and covers 4 752 race kilometres and 9 295 km in total (combination of sta-
ges and liaisons). The event is split by a rest day at the halfway mark. It is officially the longest motorsport event in the world (distance and time).

Rössing Marathon set for Valentine’s Day! The 24th Rössing Marathon National Championship will take place at Swakopmund’s athletic stadium on Saturday, 14 February. The 42 km annual running event, sponsored by Rössing Uranium and hosted by Swakop Striders Athletics Club, crowns Namibia’s national marathon champions. The theme for this year’s Rössing Marathon is “Walk or run, and live a healthy life”.
Nuwe afrigter het groot planne vir Dolphins Marshallino Beukes
Dolphin-rugbyklub van Swakopmund spog met ‘n nuwe afrigter, meneer Elic De Wee, ‘n ou bekende in rugbykringe. De Wee het tydens ‘n eksklusiewe onderhoud met namib times sport genoem dat hy beplan om die klub, asook kus-rugby oor die algemeen, se vergange glorie terug te wen. Meneer De Wee was ook vir twee jaar verbonde aan afrigting by Kudusrugbyklub in Walvisbaai en ook by senior vlak Namibiese rugby en Falconrugbyklub in Rehoboth. Hy noem dat hy as gevolg van sy werk na die kus moes verhuis. Sy korttermyn planne vir die Swakopmund rugbyspan is om die manne gemotiveerd te kry, spangees te bou en ook hard te werk aan algemene fiksheid.
De Wee se mikpunt is om Dolphin-rugbyklub hierdie jaar, ten minste na die laaste agt spanne in die Liga - finale te lei. Hy is positief dat hierdie doelwit wel bereik kan word en dat Dolphins weer een van die top rugbyspanne in Namibiese rugby gaan word. Die afrigter lê ook klem op die feit dat, met die professionaliteit en deursettingsvermoë wat die klub se bestuur aan die dag lê, hulle ‘n gedugte
span gaan opbou. Oud-spelers en borge se betrokkenheid by die span is van integrale belang, noem De Wee. Rugby teen die kus gaan beslis ‘n nuwe dimensie betree, aangesien De Wee ook van plan is om terug te ploeg in skolerugby en ook om kus-rugbyspelers te brei vir die Namibiese span. Dolphins het Dinsdagaand met oefensessies begin en gaan voortaan elke Dinsdag en Don-
derdag om 18:30 op die Vineta Noord sportveld oefen. Nuwe bloed is nog ‘n faktor wat ‘n rol in die span se sukses gaan speel, en De Wee nooi nuwelinge om nie te huiwer om aan te sluit nie. Hulle het gisteraand ‘n sessie met die welbekende Namibiese karate kampioen, sensei Leonard Martin gehad. Martin is genader om die klub by te staan met ‘n fiksheid-program, asook tegnieke om teenstanders grond toe te
Elic De Wee
bring. Saterdag gaan die manne ‘n spanbou-dag hê en met dit alles in ag genome is dit duidelik dat Dolphin-rugbyklub hierdie jaar ‘n krag om mee rekening te hou gaan wees.
Kudus in volle gang vanaf Maandag Alhoewel die spelers al begin litte losmaak het vir die komende seisoen begin die seisoen Maandag in alle erns met die algemene jaarvergadering wat om 18:30 gaan plaasvind. Alle bestuurslede is terug van vakansie en na ‘n paar weke se stilte gaan dinge vanaf Maandag in plek gesit word om die span reg te kry vir die seisoen. Nie alle bestuurslede en lede van die afrigtingspan
is weer beskikbaar vir poste nie en enige persoon wat op die bestuur of afrigtingspan betrokke wil raak kan met die huidige bestuur in verbinding tree. Alle spelers asook nuwe
spelers en lede van al die publiek is welkom om Maandag se alegemene vergadering by te woon. Die volgende spelers van laas jaar word versoek om Maandag daar te wees: Calaca, Markie, Lot, Len,

The winners of the open categories will receive prizes totaling N$60 000, which includes N$10 000 cash each and an additional N$20 000 development bonus for the men’s and ladies’ marathon winners. The development bonus is to help the winners further their careers throughout the year of their reign. Extra N$1 000 cash bonuses are up for grabs should the marathon records be broken in the open categories. The Rössing Marathon record of two hours, eleven minutes and twenty-three seconds (2:11:23) by Luketz Swartbooi was set in 1992. Mynhardt Kauanivi of the Namibian Police won the men’s open category last year in a time of two hours, twenty-five minutes and fourteen seconds (2:25:14). The ladies’ open champion was Alina Armas of the Namibian Defence Force, who won for the second year in a row. Entry fees for the marathon are N$60 for Namibians and SADC runners and N$100 for international runners. The popular 10 km run, for athletes that prefer a shorter route, also forms part of this year’s activities. Entry fees for this event are N$40 for Namibians and SADC runners, and N$60 for international runners. There will also be a 10 km team relay event for mining companies in the Erongo Region – a social event aimed at promoting camaraderie and healthy lifestyles among mineworkers. In addition, February is the cancer awareness month, so the fun-filled 5 km fun walk for charity, in aid of the Cancer Association of Namibia (CAN), will also be presented along the scenic,
northern beach walk of Swakopmund. The fun walk includes an exciting competition for best costume, most original hat, tallest walker, youngest and oldest walkers and largest group that participates. The coastal community is invited to show their support of cancer sufferers in Namibia by coming up with creative themes for the fun walk competition. Entry fee for the team relay is N$80 per team and for the fun walk N$10 per walker. All proceeds from these two events are donated to the CAN. All the running events start at 7 o’clock from the Swakopmund athletics stadium in Welwitschia Street, Vineta. The cut-off time for the marathon is 12 o’clock. The fun walk for charity starts at 9:00 from the same venue, with the prize-giving ceremony at 10:00.
