Ebola strategy for Erongo

Staff Reporter

On Friday the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources (MFMR) and Ministry of Health and Social Services (MHSS) called for an emergency strategic meeting with local ship chandlers and agents, Namport staff, immigration officials, doctors and medical staff members to devise measures to prepare for the possibility of the Ebola virus entering the Erongo region.

Key stakeholders are currently putting their heads B aldsy together to formulate a strategy to protect Erongo Spring feast from the fatal disease.

Over 1 500 deaths from the Ebola virus has been recorded within the last three weeks of this year, which amounts to more than 40 persent of all recorded deaths from the disease since it was disPages 13 covered in the 70s. virus is sporadic, SPCA Golf Day The Doctor Jean-Paul Musasa from the MHSS explained.

Certain diseases reach an infestation peak and thereafter start to drop. “Some specialists have projected 20 000 deaths to still be expected before the virus is under control,” Musasa Page 24

warned.

The disease that stems from the Ebola River, a headstream of the Mongala River in northern Congo (DRC), claimed its first reported victim in 1976, later an incident of Ebola was reported in South Sudan. More recently infections have been reported in Kenya, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.

With Namibia’s neighbouring country, Botswana, screening vehicles travelling from infected areas, the question whether Namibia will conduct the same method is looming on the shoulders of the country’s immigration decision makers.

Within the Erongo region,

the airport and Namport were identified as two entry points which accommodate high numbers of foreign travellers, however, as was pointed out, the coastal area is exposed to entry from any foreign vessel that can drop anchor in the area. Vessels from across the globe are currently around the coastal area.

It is therefore important to not only have measures in place for the official entry points, such as the harbour and airport, but to formulate a system for foreign vessels dropping anchors around the area and making use of the marine industry in the bay as well.

Local agents may service

or take supplies onboard the ship and crew members may enter the harbour town.

A local ship agent pointed out that Port Health inspects all foreigners travelling to Walvis Bay and called for an Ebola-centric strategy between Port Health and Namport.

Any vessel, whether anchored or moving through the port, needs to submit a shipping and health declaration form issued from the Directorate of Maritime Affairs, an official explained.

This helps to track where the vessel is travelling and whether any members have been affected by illness.

The technical name is the perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system.

A supermoon happens once or twice a year when the full moon is closer to Earth than during other full moons.

During this time, the moon may appear brighter and larger in the sky.

Moonrise is reported to be at 19:20 and moon set reported to be 06:56.

2014 boasted two supermoons, the previous one being occurring on 10 August. The next supermoon is expected around September 28, 2015.

Generally it is considered that if a full moon is closer than 360 000 kilometers (ca. 223 694 miles) at perigee, it is considered a supermoon.

The combined effect of the sun and moon on the Earth’s oceans, the

tide, is greatest when the moon is either new or full.

At lunar perigee the tidal force is somewhat stronger, resulting in perigean spring tides.

But even at its most powerful this force is still relatively weak causing tidal differences of inches at most.

The moon apogee, or the farthest point from the Earth (micromoon), will occur on 20 September. Moonrise will be 04:07 and moonset 15:48.

If a full moon occurs when the Moon is farther than 400 000 kilometers (ca. 248 548 miles) at apogee, it is considered to be a Micro Moon The 23rd of September marks the Spring Equinox where the sun shines directly on the equator and the length of day and night is nearly equal – but not quite.

for Erongo

Continued from page 1 Members who supply and deliver necessities and transport inspectors to ships that have dropped anchor may be at risk as vessels may not have been cleared by officials prior to the inspection being done on the vessel.

The disease can be transmitted through skin contact, body fluids or an infected object.

Human as well as non-human primates (chimpanzees, gorillas, etc) can be affected by the virus.

A member of the Welwitschia Hospital stressed that anyone entering a possible infected area should wear adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, overalls and masks to prevent any possible infections.

Key stakeholders will meet during this week to formulate more specific measures to prevent and control a possible infestation within Erongo and the rest of Namibia.

A number of days have been set aside for the Supplementary Registration of Voters, which started on Monday and will last until 20 September 2014.

The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) sent a reminder to prospective voters on Monday, saying: “Don’t forget to register to vote.

Registration has started today and ends on the 20th of September 2014.”

The ECN will afford eligible and would-be eligible voters a chance to register during the supplementary registration processes ahead of the 2015 Regional Councils and Local authority elections.

The aim is to ensure that all those, who could not be registered for local authority elections in particular during the general registration of voters (GRV), will be registered.

“The ECN would like to inform eligible voters, who may not have been able to register for the local authority elections for a variety of reasons

that they will be able to register during the said supplementary registration exercise. This period will also cater for people who turn 18 between now and the weeks preceding the forthcoming elections.

Those who lost their voter’s card, moved to a new constituency, or missed out on the GRV earlier this year, or changed their civil status will need to do corrections on their cards, as well as those whose voter cards were lost or damaged.

Those who turned 18 after the recently concluded registration of voters will also have an opportunity to register as a voter. To register, voters must provide proof of 12 months’ consecutive residency in their respective local authority areas.

This can be done by providing water and electricity bills or telephone

accounts from their municipal, town or village councils.

In a recent statement ECN chairperson, Adv Notemba Tjipueja, said the ECN “is fully aware that the utility bills are in most instances not in the name of all the members of the households and that the expansion of our cities and towns has resulted in residents who live in areas where it is virtually impossible to prove residency.”

He said there have been many complaints about the registration requirements applicable for Local Authorities elections in particular: “The ECN noted with concern that the stringent requirements for registration as a voter in a local authority area has discouraged many eligible voters to register in their respective local authorities.

We fervently hope that the ongoing electoral

Electronic Voting Machines will be used during the elections. The ECN says it facilitates verification of documents, capturing of voters’ data, taking photographs, signature and finger prints, as well as verification of voter data and finally, to issue voters’ cards. law review process will consider appropriate registration requirements for local authorities.”

He also noted that “in some instances, the voter cards that were issued may have certain spelling mistakes and factual errors” and therefore “the ECN will make use of this opportuni-

ty to rectify any of the mistakes on the voter’s cards”.

“The 3rd General Registration of Voters exercise was a mammoth national task as it indeed entailed an unchartered territory of enormous proportion for a young democracy such as Namibia and a relatively small institution like the

ECN,” he said.

The registration process involved 699 teams (including 142 mobile centres), 3 852 registration points, 3 866 temporary registration officials (including 58 at diplomatic missions abroad) and 1 268 deployed police officers. The ECN has also registered 3 441 eligible Namibians abroad.

“Buurtwag lede” rand glo aan

‘n Twee-en-veertigjarige inwoner van Swakopmund, mnr Herman Goseb, voer aan dat hy Sondagnamiddag deur vier lede van die Swakopmund Buurtwag aangerand is.

Goseb het gister aan die namib times sy nagmerrie verhaal vertel en wou weet of dit reg is dat lede van die publiek aan hierdie tipe mishandeling blootgestel moet word.

Dog’s death leads to assault charge Madelaine Laubscher On 30 August four Walvis Bay residents were arrested and charged for kidnapping and assault on three minors that were allegedly assaulted with a panga, a hammer and a spade after being tormented for six hours. After last week's court proceedings, the State's case vastly differs from that of the accused.

Curven Nathan Vries (21), Logan Pretorius (25), Andre Ashley Januarie (20) and Sandra Riobo (18) were arrested after they caught the boys who were allegedly sent by two adults to steal Mr Pretorius' dogs at his house in Meersig.

Their first court appearance was last Monday.

On Thursday, only Riobo was granted bail to the amount of N$2 000 as she is in school and her final examinations are underway.

The Walvis Bay SPCA Kennelmaster and investigating officer, Mr Peter Brookes, was the first witness on Thursday who told Adv. Shakespeare Masiza (representing the accused) that Pretorius is a registered breeder and he can confidently say that his dogs show no evidence of dog fighting.

“We have been examining his dogs. He has never denied us to do so either,” said Brookes.

He also said that dog theft is a problem. “We recently caught three boys in the act in Hermes who stole a full grown Boerboel.

When questioned, they admitted the dog was not theirs,” he said. The

identity of these minors could, however, not be revealed.

Pretorius, who is the father of a six year old girl, stood trial on behalf of all four of the accused. He gave his version of what transpired on 28 August.

“Around lunch time I arrived home and found my small gate open. I went inside the yard to see if all my dogs were there, but they were not. I found my eight month old baby boy 'Micklo' lying next to the yard.” According to him the dog clearly showed signs of strangling.

“I picked him up and took him inside and poured water into his mouth as I thought it would help.

Soon after, I left the house.

When I returned home at around 16:00, Micklo was dead,” he said crying.

Pretorius asked Vries to bury the dog in the backyard as he was emotionally unable to do it himself.

“I went to lie down. At 18:00 I heard the dogs barking and saw boys hanging over the fence with ropes in their hands trying to catch the dogs. I rushed outside, but they fled on their bicycles.”

Pretorius said.

According to him they

chased after the boys with one car and caught them.

“In the car I told them I will take them to the police, but they begged me not to.

Thus I took them to my house to question them about my dog. I only wanted to know what happened to Micklo,” he said.

Pretorius asked for their parents' number but apparently they did not have the number.

“I asked what I should do with them since they did not want to give me the number nor go to the police.

The bigger boy told me I should slap him instead of going to the police so I gave him a slap,” he said.

One of the boys allegedly said they were sent by two adults 'Zuma' and 'Plaatjies' to steal his dogs. Pretorius denied that any of them assaulted the children with a panga, a hammer or a spade and said the children were in their presence for no longer than 30 minutes before he told them to leave.

“I never gave them saltwater to drink nor did I make them lick vomit off the floor.

One of the boys accidentally drank salted water I gave the bigger boy to

clean his bleeding nose and lip with, as the two smaller boys beat him after a fight broke out between them when he blamed them for forcing him to steal the dogs.

The boy took a sip of the water and spat it out on the floor. I told him to clean it up.

He took off his t-shirt to wipe the floor and afterwards I gave him a clean tshirt to wear. I let them go no later than 19:00,” he said.

According to Pretorius, they (the accused) were playing games and at midnight realised the electricity at home was low.

“When we returned from the shop after buying electricity we saw the boys are still on the street in Meersig.

We asked them why they were still on the street at such a late hour. They said their aunt is not home and they asked for a lift home,” he said. According to Pretorius he gave them N$20 to catch a taxi instead.

State Prosecutor Faith Chipepera, representing the children, had him under cross examination on Friday. She asked if he would dispute that he slap-

ped the one boy. “I slapped him once. The smaller boys beat him for blaming them for forcing him into trouble,” he said.

Chipepera informed Pretorius that the one boy had 'poo' in his pants which is sometimes a sign of fear.

“I asked the boy 'het jy in jou broek ge-A” because I smelt it and the boy said no.

I agree that it could be a sign of fear but it could have been fear of the dogs coming out of the yard when they opened the gate earlier that day,” he said.

Chipepera asked him if anyone could see what was going on behind the garage doors. “The door was half open and the kitchen door leading to the garage was also open. They were never locked in,” he said.

Pretorius' father was called to the witness stand. The state immediately objected for the reason that he was sitting in the court room throughout court proceedings. Judge Andre Matulich told Chipepera that she is making allegations against the witness, which was a concern.

“You allowed him to sit there and only when he was called as a witness, you object.

That is the prior issue here,” he said. She replied that she was unaware he was in the audience. His father was questioned about allegations that one of his family members

The four accused with advocate Shakespeare Masiza offered money to the family of the minors to drop the case. “I never offered money and if someone did, I am unaware of it,” he said. Detective Constable Hauseb from the Women and Child abuse centre, investigating this case, stuck to the children's statements stating they were tormented. Adv Masiza asked him where he got his facts from.

“From what the boys told me in their statements.”

Masiza also asked him if someone would break into his house, would he be allowed to arrest that person as the owner of the house, upon which he replied “according to that example, yes I could.”

Masiza also asked Hasueb if the boys told him that they were at Pretorius' house earlier that day to steal dogs. “They did not tell me,” he replied.

Masiza asked “would you deny they went there earlier that day and if so on what basis?” The constable

denied it according to the statements of the minors.

Masiza asked “is that your basis?

You only know what they told you.” Hauseb replied “statements are given under oath so we believe that what the boys said is correct.”

Masiza then replied saying Pretorius also gave his statement under oath and added that the story of the children in the statements differs from that of the accused, that the boys lied to him in the statements and that he cannot deny it because the only reason he said he denies it, is because of what the statements say. Hauseb, in his defense, said I believe that what they said is true even though I never asked if they were at the house earlier that day,” he said.

The case has been postponed until 11 September.

No bail has thus far been granted to Pretorius, Vries and Januarie.

Fleeing the scene is a crime Madelaine Laubscher

On Friday night an accident occurred in Union Street in Walvis Bay when a vehicle (white Mercedes N75000SH), belonging to a Mr ST Iipumbu, crashed into the back of a G4S bakkie at a very high speed where after the driver fled the scene on foot.

The accident occurred at approximately 22:45.

When this reporter arrived at the scene, witnesses claimed that the driver of the Mercedes was driving at exceedingly high speed and crashed into the back of the G4S bakkie, both travelling from the same direction. This caused the bakkie to turn around and veer off the road into a pavement, crashing into the brick walls of two residences and also hit a fire hydrant. This caused a lot of damage as the

whole area was covered in water and members of the Walvis Bay Fire Brigade had to cut off the shower of water.

Minor injuries were sustained by the driver of the bakkie, while the driver of the Mercedes fled on foot into the dunes.

Nampol officers, with the help of members of the Special Reserve Force and the Welwitschia Crime Prevention Team assisted in trying to locate this man by following his footprints. According to witnesses it seemed that he

was under the influence of alcohol when he ran away.

It is also suspected that a certain vehicle picked him up in his attempt to escape.

The officers continued in their search and it has not been confirmed if he had been caught that night.

According to Nampol Deputy Commissioner Kashuupulwa, fleeing the scene of an accident is a crime.

“I will have to look into the matter before I can comment on this specific occurrence, but I confirm that fleeing the scene of an

accident is a crime and could include many charges,” she noted.

One of the residents living nearby the scene of the accident said, “I heard a crash and ran outside to the Mercedes as it was quite damaged and I thought the person would be seriously injured, but there was no one in the car. I realised the driver had fled the scene.

The strong smell of alcohol was hanging inside the car,” he said.

The shocked owner of the house whose wall was knocked over, told the newspaper that it is horrific how people drive in Walvis Bay. “The crash was so loud that I thought it was an earthquake.

I ran outside only to find that my wall had been knocked over, water shooting into the air and the G4S bakkie in my yard. I reckon from the distance that the Mercedes was from the bakkie after the accident shows just how fast the driver of the Mercedes must have driven to be able to end up that far away from the point of impact.

I no longer feel safe in my own house. Something drastic has to be done regarding speeding in this town and especially in this street as not long ago two lives were lost in this same street due to inconsiderate drivers,” he said.

The newspaper managed to get hold of Mr Iipumbu,

who denied that he was in an accident on Friday night.

He added that he was busy at the moment and could not comment.

The newspaper informed him that whoever drove his vehicle Friday night allegedly caused an accident and fled the scene.

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.

Coastal Management Authority on the horizon Jade McClune

There are strong indications that once the Coastal Zone Management Act is passed into law it will lead to the establishment of a new coastal management authority, which will have legal responsibility to protect the coastal area.

Ms Justina Jonas (MANWU) and Mr Percy McCallum (Swakop Uranium)

Swakop Uranium, MANWU and contractors sign agreement Marshallino Beukes

Swakop Uranium and Metal and Allied Workers Union of Namibia (MANWU) signed a substantive agreement, covering the contractor’s employees for the remainder of the Husab Mine construction period, yesterday.

As per the agreement, a fair negotiated settlement was reached on hourly pay rates for the contracting company’s employees. All macro and micro economic factors were taken into account, said Mr Percy McCallum, vice president of Swakop Uranium’s Human Resources and Business Support division. He described these negotiations as a further step in a smart partnership between the three parties.

According to a press release MANWU committed to and will support

the contractor’s aim in improving productivity initiatives and also encourage their members to refrain from being absent from work without permission, or being guilty of poor time keeping.

The parties furthermore agreed to investigate and propose an HIV/Aids programme to Swakop Uranium and MANWU, which will be done in collaboration with Namibia Business Coalition on Aids.

The current Safety Incentive Bonus Scheme will also expand, agreeing

that a taxable monthly amount will be paid to all those employees within the Recognised Bargaining Unit, subjected to the employee’s monthly attendance rate and safety targets as determined by Swakop Uranium.

Ms Justina Jonas from MANWU commented that in many National Projects, construction workers are only paid as per the National Minimum Wage, as negotiated by MANWU and Construction Industries Federation of Namibia (CIF).

This, according to Jonas

is the first labour Agreement which allows the client to get involved in labour matters during the construction phase.

She assured Swakop Uranium of the Union’s full commitment towards approving and building of sound labour relations in the project.

Also present at the signing of this milestone agreement was Swakop Uranium’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr Zheng Keping and Ms Adelheid Kandjala, Special Advisor to the Regional Governor.

A draft of the Integrated Coastal Zone Management Act, which is currently under discussion, has been availed to the namib times and shows that the overall aim is “to establish a system of integrated coastal management in Namibia in order to promote the conservation of the coastal environment, maintain the natural attributes of the coastal landscapes and seascapes, and ensure the sustainable use of natural resources within the coastal zone” in a way that is socially, economically and ecologically justifiable.

In terms of the Act, the government, as the custodian, must ensure that Namibians benefit from the resources in the coast and in terms of the constitution, must “take reasonable and rational measures to ensure the maintenance of ecosystems, essential ecological processes and biological diversity of Namibia, as well as sustainably conserve living resources for the benefit of all Namibians, including future generations.”

The new law seeks to define the rights and duties in relation to coastal areas; to determine the responsibility of the organs of state in relation to coastal areas; to control pollution in the coastal zone and other adverse effects on the coastal environment; to give effect to Namibia’s international obligations

in relation to coastal matters.

Once passed into law, the Act would compel the State to adopt an eco-systembased governance approach, which recognises the interdependence among coastal processes, issues and sectors, whilst simultaneously promoting the health and well-being of all Namibians in the long term.

The draft document stipulates that government “must promote an adaptive, risk-averse and precautionary approach, through appropriate planning of coastal development by: preventing exposure of people, property and economic activities to significant risk from dynamic coastal processes; protecting and restoring natural coastal defenses; and discouraging recourse to hard protection measures” (such as seawalls and structures).

It also compels the State to use “science-based information methodologies to inform decisions that affect the integrity of the coast and the well-being of its inhabitants.”

The law would further oblige the State to promote healthy, resilient and productive ocean and coastal ecosystems, processes and resources.

The Act deals, inter alia, with marine and coastal pollution control, as well as discharge of effluent into coastal waters, the

prohibition on disposal, dumping and incineration at sea, disposal permits and emergency disposal at sea.

The new law saddles the proposed Coastal Management Authority with a duty of care and remediation of environmental damage, as well as a duty to avoid causing adverse effects on coastal environment and resources, will provide coastal protection and coastal access notices, repair or remove structures within the coastal zone, monitor compliance and ensure the protection of workers refusing to do environmentally hazardous work.

The new authority will also be responsible for administering existing leases on, or rights to, coastal public property, identifying unlawful structures on coastal public property and monitoring existing activities along the coast.

The preamble states that “integrated coastal management should be an evolving process that learns from past experiences, that takes account of the functioning of the coastal zone as a whole and that seeks to coordinate and regulate the various human activities that take place in the coastal zone, in order to achieve its conservation and sustainable use”.

Progress in mass housing, but workers bear the brunt Without a single exception, all construction workers on the mass housing project in Swakopmund, who spoke to the Namib Times this week, said they are not paid according to the minimum prescribed wage, as stipulated in the government gazette.

Chris Engels: Well they seem to be doing a sterling job, the houses look wonderfull, these builders should be looked after, someone needs to kick arse.

Frank Ngurimuje Khoe-Aob: One simple tiny question, dudes building houses do they hv houses?

Peter Baron Van

Ginkel: Becuase the contractors has government links.

Andre Plaatjie: I hope something can be done so that the workers get a living wage.

Erika Glück: So they too as per the ones building at the Strand Hotel have the same complaint- just a coincidence or a

planned story?? More investigation is needed I say.

Brad Withyman: But how will the boss get rich if he pays his workers correctly.

This is normal in Namibia. You either steal or get robbed.

Ndafa Aantu: Ek kan nie wag om in een van daai huise te woon nie,

vir wie is dit eintlik?

Douglas Thompson: So sad that our government allows this , fat cats skimming all the way.

Richard Reid: Why is labour law not involved if this is the case, seems to be rules for some and not for others.

A massive 78-carat diamond has been reported stolen Reports surfaced on Thursday that an enormous diamond, with an estimated value of N$64.2 million, “went missing” during the mine workers strike at Namdeb in August, when around 1 500 workers downed tools.

Paulus Ishitile: They should not fool this nation at all, just because they want to recover their loss now they hide the diamond so that they can auction it to the foreign country to make more money with our resources as usual! Ur time is becoming limited MasterBenjamin Pattis: Well done!!! Would have done the same.

Renier Botha: I find it surprising how you can all agree with this. Agreement with a crime, makes

people criminals. The diamond act describes the handling, the ownership and dealings in rough and uncut diamonds. Mine pay roalties to GRN for mining rights and this diamond like any other produces incomes which produces Tax income to the GRN. The street Value derived for this stone will contribute nothing to GRN, not to the mining company, not to employed of that company.

Diamond does belong to Namibia, and GRN ad-

ministers is, and hence from that GRN derbies value in terms of taxes and royalties. So stealing a diamond as an act not only against the company which mined it, but also against Namibia as there is a law called the diamond act, which prohibited the handling, precession and trading in rough and uncut diamonds. So please all of you who say this is good, when you get robbed, rapped and you stuff stolen, please also pad the criminal on

the book and say “Good Job” because it is one and the Same thing. Diamond syndicates are involved in robberies, drugs, Poaching, money laundering.

But like you all said, these are good people. I am ashamed at you, you should be charged with treason.

Patricia Denise Lombard: Well said, most of these people hold their hands out to the GRN and then they rejoice when the GRN gets robbed of the income that feeds them.

parable

Opinion piece by Madelaine Laubscher

Suicide, it seems, has become an accustomed occurrence during this time of the year, being labelled as ‘suicide-season’ or ‘that time of the year’. However, this should not be accepted as the norm or brushed off like it will be expected. Suicide is a very real problem in Namibia but also, very preventable. heid neem?

From the viewpoint of someone who has lost a loved one to suicide I can say that it leaves a kind of void and pain that no treatment can ever alleviate.

Had that person communicated early enough about the problems that started to accumulate, the emotional damage of being left behind would have never even existed as that person could have been alive today.

We as a community need to pay attention to our loved ones. We are prone to become so caught up in our own lives that we never really listen when someone says ‘I cannot cope anymore’ and we brush it off like it is something that would just blow over in time. People differ and one might not be as strong as the other in certain situations. Thus we cannot simply say ‘get over yourself’ or ‘it will be okay’ and carry on with our lives. Suicide begins as any flower begins, as a seed. If that seed is fed with ignorance, harsh words, lack of attention, no love, abuse, domestic

violence, it will grow into something negative which in the end results in depression and feelings of wanting to ‘escape life’.

If the seed is fed with love, patience, understanding, sympathy and healthy communication, a positive attitude will erupt.

There is a cure for suicide.

The cure is to stop being ignorant towards each other. Yes, we do not always mean to be ignorant, but how often do we really pay attention to those around us?

Have we become a community that looks past each other because we are too caught up in our own problems? Have we become a community that is too afraid to speak up and say ‘I am not okay’…?

Have we become deaf to each other’s pain?

This time of the year does not have to, and more so, should not be labelled as ‘suicide season’, as it is preventable, if we say how we truly feel and pay attention.

Once that person is gone, crying is too late and it simply leaves feelings of

guilt. It really is unfair to blame ourselves when someone takes their own life. However, we need to make people realise that we are not blind to their pain and that we actually do care.

All it takes is a loving word, as love drives out all fear. To those who feel suicidal or that they cannot carry on with life as they are doing right now, suicide has never been and will never be the solution.

Rather be brave and set an example to others who feel the same. Speak out about how you feel. If you do not speak out, how would people ever really know how you feel?

If you have spoken out and feel that you have not been heard, speak out again and again until you are heard.

Talk to a relative, friend, teacher or pastor. Suicidal feelings are caused by ignorance to our own feelings and that of others.

Look for the cause and face the cause. That is the answer you want. Suicide destroys lives, not just your own.

Die vinnige manier van verf

Marshallino Beukes Die Regering se Massa-behuisingsprojek is landwyd in volle swang en die koerant het laasweek ‘n geskiedkundige oomblik, wat die konserwatiewe manier van verf met ‘n roller en kwas betref, beleef met ‘n besoek aan Swakopmund se Behuisingsprojek.

Verby is die dae van lank sukkel met rollers en kwaste.

Die manne van Dulux het die koerant voorgestel aan ‘n relatiewe nuwe uitvindsel, die Graco Airless Spray Machine. Hierdie masjien behels die verf van huise ensovoorts deur middel van ‘n spuit-pistool wat met ‘n lang pypie aan die masjien verbind is.

Die eerste van die meer as 3 000 huise wat in Swakopmund opgerig word is bykans voltooi en met namib times se aankoms, was daar

‘n demonstrasie van hierdie produk gelewer.

Wat opmerkbaar was, was die spoed waarmee te werke gegaan word en die “spray painter” wat die demonstrasie gelewer het, Gillian Brandt, het genoem dat hy met sy medewerker, Eugene Mouton, ‘n binnekamer in minder as 10 minute kafdraf.

Mnr John Van Rooyen, verbonde aan Dulux se Tegniese span, het genoem dat die voordele van hierdie masjien tydbesparing, kostebesparing en

beter kwaliteit werk insluit asook dat die manne ‘n nuwe vaardigheid aanleer.

Hy het egter bygevoeg dat die konserwatiewe roller en kwas beslis nie heeltemaal gaan uitsterf nie, aangesien daar van die fyner verfwerkies is, wat slegs met die twee ou kalante gedoen kan word.

Dulux is tans die enigste maatskappy wat besig is om te tender vir die lewering van verf aan die Massa-behuisingsprojek, landwyd.

Suicide season a parable er on the other hand saves lives.

Anyone who has ever been moved by “I have a dream” or “I think, therefore I am” knows that a single, simple hug or loving word can change a day, a life and in the end… a world. Getting people to talk about their innermost feelings and emotions in times of distress and despair is always

the best way to deal with their inner conflicts. Leaving it will escalate and cause preventable damage.

Being unhappy within yourself could be taken as an opportunity to change your life. Go to that person that you simply cannot forgive and tell them how you feel, the rage, the hurt, the damage done. Go to the person that you have

wronged and tell them ‘I am sorry’ no matter what their reaction might be. At least you would feel better within. Never end your life. Rather step up and do what those who have lost their lives to suicide never did and that is facing the actual problem. When light is shed on a specific problem, it gives opportunity for improvement.

FNB Namibia Holdings Limited announced its financial results for the year ending 30 June 2014.

Headlines earnings are up by 28.7% to N$765 million, advances grew by 17.8% to over N$20 billion and a final dividend of 67 cents per share was declared, resulting in an ordinary dividend distribution for the year of 122 cents a share, a 22% increase.

According to Oscar Capelao, Chief Financial Officer

van Dulux, het aangedui dat die maatskappy spesiaal persone, soos mnr Van Rooyen uit Kaapstad ingevlieg het om opleiding aan plaaslike verwers te verskaf, asook tegniese bystand te lewer. NHE, wie

die Projek bestuur gaan die vertoon-huis, wat byna klaar is, evalueer ten einde vas te stel of hierdie nuwe metode, sowel as Dulux se verf wel aan die hoë standaarde wat daargestel is, voldoen.

Continued from page 8 not let your emotions take you to the level of wanting to die. People want to be loved, understood and accepted as they are. So accept each other’s differences. Your voice… is your life.

Speak up if you feel life is too much. Do not judge those who are depressed and never be blind to someone’s tears. We need

to be compassionate for in the end it is our loved ones that will be there at the end of our journey.

No degree, no bank balance, no success, no possession, no job title or relationship status will matter when we are lying on our death beds at old age. We need to take care of each other as we only have each other.

Lifeline-Childline sheds light

According to a certain parable ‘suicide-season’ is between September and October, when the most suicides allegedly occur during a year. However according to a spokesperson of Lifeline-Childline in Windhoek this is simply a parable and should not be taken as a fact as there are specific reasons why someone would attempt suicide and it is not simply due to the season.

“It has in some way been proven that most suicides occur during September and October.

However it is not sensible to link it to ‘suicide-season’ as there are actual reasons why people commit suicide.

As a person working at the suicide hotline, we can say that most suicides occur during this time due to a build-up of problems that commence early during the year that has not been dealt with properly.

The person has now reached their limit and feels they cannot handle it any longer.

It could be small things such as a parent not be-

ing affectionate towards a child or having financial problems.

There are various things that can trigger suicide if not dealt with early on,” she said.

According to her, a minimum of approximately five suicidal persons approach them on a monthly basis. “A minimum of five persons per month is quite a lot. However we have the necessary guidelines to help a person that is suicidal.

When we receive a phone call, we talk to the person, trying to make them realise it is usually due to a specific problem in their life that they feel depressed and the

problem can be dealt with.

We give counselling, teaching the person the skills on how to handle emotions.

At the end of the session, if the person says he/she still feels suicidal, we refer them to a psychologist for proper treatment.

In cases of a highly suicidal person, we immediately admit them in hospital for the necessary treatment,” she said.

The signs to look for in a suicidal person are a lack of interest in what they used to enjoy, isolation and when asked how they are, they simply say ‘I am ok” and does not elaborate on how they are doing.

According to WebMD Suicide Warning Signs are long-lasting sadness, mood swings, unexpected rage, hopelessness about the future with little expectations that circumstances can improve and sleeping problems.

Suddenly becoming calm after a period of depression can be a sign that the person has made a decision to end his or her life.

Another sign is when the person chooses to be alone, avoiding friends or social activities.

The person might exhibit a change in attitude or behaviour, such as speaking or moving with unusual speed or slowness.

In addition, the person might suddenly become less concerned about his or her personal appearance.

Dangerous behaviour, such as reckless driving, engaging in unsafe sex and increased use of drugs and/ or alcohol might indicate that the person no longer values his or her life.

A major life crises and trauma might trigger a suicide attempt.

Crises include the death of a loved one or pet, divorce or break-up of a relationship, diagnosis of a major illness, loss of a job, or serious financial problems.

Stop the violence album released Mavourlene Gaes

After Simeon Iipinge (aka Iszee) and Theofelus Nuyoma (aka Dox) visited the namib times offices in March this year, they have returned announcing that they have completed another album.

The duo, who makes up the Mr Sea Weather group, were both born in northern Namibia and made their way to Walvis Bay in 2000 with the hope, like many others, to make a name for themselves in the music industry.

Although they started performing in 2003 they struggled to promote their music because of financial difficulties.

According to Iszee it has been a tough road but

they are almost there, since they have now managed to finish their first album at last and are about to introduce their second album “Stop the violence” to the world.

The two have previously released their self titled album “Mr Sea Weather” and have since been busy working on their second cd.

According to them the album does not discriminate and it goes

out to everyone because of the powerful message it carries.

The album consists of 16 tracks, each carrying a unique message in itself.

Iszee added that they are currently busy shooting the music video for their song “Stop the violence”, which will be broadcasted on both NBC and One Africa as soon as it is ready.

Like many of our local artists that want to make

Elderly welcome spring in style Mavourlene Gaes

The senior citizens from the Huis Palms Old Age Home in Walvis Bay were in for a treat when a popular catering company prepared a feast for them to welcome spring in style on Friday at Oceans Restaurant at the Waterfront.

According to the matron of Huis Palms, Andrea Wisniewski, close to 60 of our elderly people were invited by the company and made their way over to the restaurant. Senior citizens, who showed up in their bright outfits, were ready to embrace spring.

The weather playing according to the theme, our seniors made sure they made the best of their outing to the Waterfront.

They were treated to a bus ride along the ocean and listened to soothing music while chatting up a storm with each other.

Wisniewski also added that it is important to make the elderly feel part of the community because many hardly ever receive visits from

family and sometimes feel lonely. However, initiatives like this help them feel important and cared for by the community.

The manager of the restaurant, Cornelius Nel, closed the bottom section of the restaurant, for their private party.

“They need to come out from the home and feel special, besides, it is nice to make them feel important because then you feel good about doing something to help,” he said.

Erika Young, who according to the elderly, plays a significant role in the lives of the elderly was surprised when she received a gift from the elderly to thank her for not only being patient but also for assisting them with a smile.

Channel O Africa Music Awards voting opens Channel O Africa, has announced the nominees for the 2014 Channel O Africa Music Video Awards (#CHOAMVA14).

The winners will be determined by the amount of votes that is received on the website, mobile site and WeChat platforms.

Voters are allowed to vote up to 100 times until 23 November and voting is free.

The Channel O Africa Music Video Awards are the only publicly voted annual music video awards show broadcast around the continent that exclusively features African artists.

Now in its 11th year, 2014 will see the awards taking place on Saturday, 29 November at Nasrec Expo Centre in Soweto Spread across 14 categories, this year’s Channel O Africa Music Video Awards nominees are a showcase of original African music befitting the 17 year old music channel.

“The music as well as the videos produced on our African soil is of the same, if not even better, quality as that of those produced internationally and most of our no-

minees are no stranger to performing on global stages,” says Channel O’s Director Nkateko Mabaso.

Leading with the most nominees this year is South African new kid on the Hip Hop streets Cassper Nyovest; Mr “Caracara” himself, K.O and Nigeria’s Davido with five nominations each.

Nyovest flexes his musical prowess with his nominations for Most Gifted Male Video, Most Gifted Newcomer Video, the ever controversial Most Gifted Hip Hop Video, Most Gifted Southern Video as well as the prestigious Most Gifted Video of the Year categories for “Doc Shebeleza”.

Davido represents West Africa with his impressive nominations for the track

“Aye” which dominated in four categories Most Gifted Male Video, Most Gifted Afro Pop Video, Most Gifted West Video and Most Gifted Video of the Year, while “Skelewu” earned him a comfortable spot in the Most Gifted Dance Video category.

K.O, the man behind one of the most popular tracks that’s blazing radio and television stations alike at the moment, “Caracara”, makes his Channel O Africa Music Video Awards nominee debut as a solo artist in the categories Most Gifted Male Video, Most Gifted Duo, Group or Featuring Video, Most Gifted Hip Hop Video, Most Gifted Southern Video and Most Gifted Video of the Year.

Coastal riders take honours at Okahandja Anike Maritz (13) led the charge of coastal riders gaining honours at the annual Okahandja Dressage and Showjumping extravaganza that saw 110 horses start in various events over the weekend.

The youngster took home the coveted Clydon Namibia Floating Trophy on her horse Midnight Rain for the most successful child rider in

showjumping and also garnered the Trophy of the Town of Okahandja for the most successful rider of the tournament in showjumping.

Two more of the five special awards went to riders from the coast.

Laura Braune (16) not only had her very first clear round on her

horse Luna Properties Pohlands Wendywood, she also won the Friend of the Horse Floating Trophy for the best junior rider in dressage and

Laura Braune on Luna Properties Pohlands Wendywood

showjumping.

The trophy of the Mayor of Okahandja for the best adult rider of the show deservingly went to Michelle Kuenzle on Metzger Drilling Zambesi Bodenhausen.

The Pfohls Trophy for the most successful child rider in dressage and showjumping was snapped up by 12-year old Linda Freyer from Windhoek with her horse Claratal Chromatic.

The Okahandja Derby proved a daunting task for most of the riders.

Michelle Kuenzle and Metzger Drilling Zambesi showed they were in a class of their own and offered the only clear round in the event that is much longer than a normal course and boast fences such as the dyke, the table, the bank and the water jump.

The pair took the 1.10 – 1.30m class, second place going to Franziska Leinberger and Adcon

Camelot with four penalties.

The coast also dominated the 1.00m Derby with Nicole Nederlof and Frischgewaagd Trabant the winners after only four riders out of a total field of 15 had made it through to the jump-off on four penalties each.

Second and third place went to Svenja Spaeth on Davetsaub Amor and Janiz Zandberg on M&A’s Jessica after Okahandja veterinarian Dr. Beate Voigts had opted not to send her trusted Salvano into the jump-off. Fifth place in this event went to Laura Braune on Luna Properties Pohlands Wendywood.

Most successful rider in dressage was Hanlie Kirchner on her horse Midgard Bonfire with two first and a second place in her three events.

Dressage judges were pleased at the strong turnout in the Novice and

Elementary classes, saying this bade well for the future of dressage in Namibia and fostered hope for more competition for the two grande dames of the discipline, Alexandra Roehl on Alpha so Cool (Medium) and Franziska Leinberger on Adcon Camelot (Advanced).

Apart from dressage and showjumping the weekend also saw the grooms compete against each other regarding the turnout of their charges. Winner in this event was Tauray Chashoya (Midgard Gotthardt) from Swakopmund with joint second going to Willem Boois (Sapphire) and Reinhold Basson (Zonjati Gunfire).

Deon Uirab showed the competition what a shining coat and impeccably kept tack was all about, but lost out on the prizes due to disobedience of his horse Dageraad Cassius.

First ever SPCA Golf Day Sharlien Tjambari

The Tierschutzverein Swakopmund (S.P.C.A) hosted a Golf Day Friday at the Rossmund Golf Course outside Swakopmund.

As part of their fundraising campaign, an auction was also conducted.

The aim for this Golf Day was to have 20 teams with three players per team.

Through hard work and dedication, members of the committee managed a total of 19 teams teeing-off and the motto for the day was “Tee-off for a great cause, let’s swing for charity”.

With players displaying a fantastic mood, sunny weather and an excellent golf course, set against desert scenery, the day was made for great, long lasting fun.

So much so, that they are already considering returning to the golf course in the future to raise more funds for the charity.

“For us it is of utmost importance to express our gratitude to all our sponsors of the day.

As always it is an extreme pleasure and very rewarding to see people stand up and support the SPCA, enabling us to give our

four-legged friends a good, warm interim home, feeding them and providing medical treatment when necessary, while we strive to find new permanent homes for them where they can become part of the family”, a media release of the SPCA reads.

Peter Witt, patron & chairman of the SPCA Swakopmund, cordially thanked all participants and stressed that such events are purely possible due to the business community and private persons who go out of their way to support and donate towards good causes such as the SPCA Swakopmund.

Witt also highlighted that without animal shelters, Namibia and the rest of the world would be confronted with an extreme disaster.

In Swakopmund alone, the estimated number of stray dogs would increase to approximate-

ly 30 000 alone in less than 10 years.

The health problems which would accompany uncontrolled strays would be unbearable for a town like Swakopmund.

This is a major reason for the SPCA’s existence and why the SPCA should be supported by the community.

Nineteen teams participated in the golf day and the guys from Wishy Washy scooped the first prize, with 88 points.

Second place went to Track and Trucks with 78 point and Nampower took bronze, with 77 points.

Three bottles of wine, products of the famous Springbok rugby player, Schalk Burger, were also on auction at the event and the first bottle went for N$600, with the other two going for N$650 each.

The Springbok player will personally sign these bottles.

Golf is thirsty work

Something cold after a hot day in the sun

Fun was had by all the contestants
