The year 2020, themed by COVID-19, will go down in the history of Namibia and the world, as an unpredicted storm. It affected the global economic market, that in turn also had a major effect in the construction and mining industry. However, despite the challenging times in our industry, we want to express our gratitude for the unwavering support from our partners and stakeholders.

COVID-19, albeit being a global pandemic and having detrimental effects, taught us lessons that we can apply in our developing economy and industry as a whole.

two hospitals that helped address the health crisis. And SDF expanded on providing affordable houses to the most affected by the financial crisis that ensued.

It loudly whispered, that we were not ready, but that there is massive potential and other innovative routes to address our growing problems as a country.

And with that note, the 26 Media family is looking forward to further building stronger relations with industry leaders and innovators in our field, as we take from the lessons of 2020 and build a better magazine experience for our partners and readership.

We aim to maintain The Construction & Mining Magazine as a household name with a change in production to monthly issues, and new features such as the Tender Section and the IT booklet.

We promise to continue bringing industry players together.

In a time rived with a global economic setback such as this, there were still lessons that could be extracted from our biggest economies such as China and also right at home with Shack Dwellers Federation of Namibia (SDF) and City of Windhoek.

When the corona virus broke-out, China in record time, build

The City of Windhoek also embarked on the Informal Settlement Upgrading Pilot Project aimed at building brick houses in the informal settlement of the city. It is then evident, that the investment in affordable housing and in quality infrastructure in a developing economy helps address large phenomenon faster and efficiently.

Our team wishes you happy and safe festivities coming soon 2021

Housing

The Basics of Acquiring

a Residential Plot in an Urban Area G

iven the 300 000-housing backlog in the country, which requires about N$76 billion, urban dwellers are getting frustrated on whether they will ever own a residential plot or house in town. The Construction and Mining magazine has spoken with various experts to reveal the channels on how ordinary Namibians can acquire land (plot or house), in urban areas.

The industry players indicated that acquiring decent residential land (plot and house) in various towns of Namibia takes different channels/methods and depends on the town you are living in.

Servicing of land plays a role in its acquisition; first land serviced by a municipality; secondly is a plot serviced by a developer, and finally a plot serviced through a partnership between the municipality and developer.

Land which is serviced by the municipality through budgetary allocation can be acquired by the locals more affordably, the experts indicated that it is because in most cases the pricing is not done on cost recovery and can be politically influenced.

This type of land is acquired through the municipality’s advertisements and residents or anybody who submits their bids or can be sold to those who applied via the municipality.

With this method of acquisition, people build with their time and in most cases no mortgage is involved as people build off their pockets. However, with fiscal consolidation (reduced public

4

expenditure) back in the 2015-16, few funds were availed to the municipalities to service land and provide bulk services on virgin land.

When a developer buys virgin land from the local authority, service it and sells the plots to the public, resident can acquire it by purchasing property/land from the developer who builds top structures that individuals can buy. With this approach, the developer prices the residential plot or top structure on cost recovery and their profit margin. However, this approach was changed because more foreigners found a way to buy land in Namibia and prices went skyrocketing.

The third option to get a residential plot, which is kind of a hybrid is through a public-private partnership (PPP) serviced land. In this model, the municipality partners up with a private developer and avail land to be serviced with option to

Construction & Mining Magazine - December 2020 - January 2021 Edition

build top structures. The land does not get owned by the developer to avoid speculation -no title deeds given to the developer, they are just administrators.

Individuals who want a plot or house buy it from the municipality through the administration of the developer.

Individuals who want a plot or house thus apply to the municipality and their names get to be submitted to the ministry (urban and rural) for approval to avoid an individual owning multiple properties for speculations and pushing up residential plots and house prices.

The city of Windhoek spokesperson Lydia Amutenya added that it also depends on the zoning of the property. She explained that for the city’s, single residential erven are sold on tender (closed bid method), and private treaty to those on the city waiting list. “We only sell single residential erven on private treaty to clients in lower

Housing income areas registered to the City of Windhoek waiting list. She added that, if the land is privately owned, the only legal requirement is to get the necessary building plan approvals in terms of City of Windhoek Building Regulations.

While for City owns land and where it is under the CoW housing project, the process involves procuring services of construction contractors but is also subjected to the necessary Building Regulations Approvals. To register a house or plot in Windhoek- once you have been allocated the land and paid it in full the registration process is done through a conveyancing attorney.

THE SHACK DWELLER’S WAY Apart from the conventional way of land acquisition, the Shack Dwellers Federation of Namibia (SDFN) also offer a channel for one to own a residential plot or house.

According to Heinrich Amushila, Co-Director of Namibia Housing Action Group; one has to be a member of the saving group within a specific town for them to benefit from plots under the SDFN. He said low income people organise themselves in saving groups with minimum members of 10 and maximum 30. “They start saving within the groups. To qualify, they must save 5% of the loan amount needed, and participate in the activities of the group,” said Amushila.

No cash is paid to the home-owner but to building material suppliers and builders labour’which is paid to the saving group who pay the builders. Construction is managed by the building team - 3-4 members tasked by the group and monitoring is done to make sure houses are completed within a short period. In the past, construction time was three months but now reduced to two months.

Houses not completed within that time frame succumbs to a penalty of N$ 1000-00 charged per month. Finally, the overall cost of the SDFN houses range between N$ 35 000 to 60 000 for a 34m/2 house.

T

he Informal Settlement Upgrading Pilot Project is a joint initiative between the Ministry of Urban and Rural Development, City of Windhoek, the National Housing Enterprise, and the Khomas regional council, which targets to construct 1,200 affordable brick houses over two years in Windhoek’s informal settlements.

The project forms part of the country’s national development agenda under the Harambee Prosperity Plan and seeks to address the 84,000 housing backlog in Windhoek

Entrepreneurship

Emerging Entrepreneur with a Mission “We are in a fortunate position that we can learn a lot from developed countries infrastructure advancements to avoid mistakes they’ve made. We hope to introduce these kind of solutions to the built-environment infrastructure in Namibia, to accelerate towards more advanced infrastructure development.”

States Ndishiilange, the 33-year-old Engineer and Entrepreneur.

Ndishiilange has had a fruitful and successful employment career, finding himself as the youngest Director and Shareholder for the previous firm he worked at, WCE-Windhoek Consulting Engineers (PTY) LTD, before fully pursuing his business ventures under TeSik Group, a company he co-founded with his cousin Franz Sikiza Namuhuya.

“I think my purpose is to bring about development in the country through the infrastructure space, more specifically the built environment” he states.

Ndishiilange obtained a National Diploma in Civil Engineering in 2010 from the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, after a year working in the consulting engineering industry for WCE. He then obtained his degree in Civil Engineering in 2013 from the University of Stellenbosch.

The young Engineer has 10 years of industry experience, along with a reputable position at WCE and now a businessman, notions that one of the ways to develop a country is through infrastructure, and the main concept behind TeSik Group is to be pioneers in the infrastructure development in Namibia.

The company began while Ndishiilange was still at university, sparked during a lecture on alternative ways of doing construction.

TeSik Distributors (TD) a division of TeSik Group, is involved in the supply, fit, and distribution of innovative technology, bespoke services, and turnkey solutions within the built environment.

TD is currently the only approved distributor of Geoplast plastic building material in Namibia since 2015. Geoplast has been involved in the supply of innovative plastic building material across the world for 43 years. TeSik Group, founded in 2014, employs 40 people and has had notable success within the industry. TeSik Decking, the group’s manufacturing division, after a competitive bidding process was awarded a contract to design, supply & fit a 180 flats (12x blocks of flats)

residential development in Walvis Bay. TeSik Decking, has also been selected to design, supply & fit Ongos Valley, one of Namibia’s largest residential developments taking place.

To the young professionals in the industry, he advises, be open to travel, don’t be afraid of working in other parts of the world, and getting exposed to a different market especially in these times where work in the industry is scarce.

Get the expertise and come plough it back into the Namibian industry when things ripen again. “But most importantly,” he notes “get to know your God given purpose and get into alignment with it.

When you search for the right tools to help you construct what your purpose is, it can be framed it can be conceptualized and you can manifest it.”

Development

Namibian Housing of the Past

D

ating back to school days, our history books highlighted the nomadic nature of some Namibian/African people. Whereas some tribes were nomadic (like the Khoesan) and settled in a single place for a very short time, others were both crop and livestock farmers (the Ovaherero for example) and often stayed in one area for extended times. Whichever the case, these ancestors of ours had to formulate some form of shelter for the duration of their stay, hence this article will briefly cover the archaic housing of the Khoesan and Ovaherero people.

There is a belief that the nomadic tribes lived in caves to shelter them from harsh weather conditions, and when the hunting ceased or the area no longer had enough prey, they would move to a different location. However, there is a slight flaw in this theory. Seeing that predatory animals also occupied these caves, and that they (caves) were hardly found in most area, we now have learned that nests may have been the oldest form of architecture in terms of housing. This trait can also be seen in chimpanzees and

baboons. These makeshift houses were built by outlining the foundation, digging holes and placing branches, twigs, grass and leaves to create more advanced nests with the use of rocks and sticks as tools.

The Ovaherero people were farmers with large herd of cattle, sheep and goats.

Crop farming became a reality later on.

Their architectural ingenuity was based on their lifestyle, just as the Khoesan.

They lived in one area for longer periods.

This led to them building more solid structures using logs, mud and cow dung.

They were more permanent structures as opposed to the Khoesan people. They too used sticks to dig holes for the foundation and rocks for other means.

In the modern day, we find elevated issues on housing. The past is a blueprint from which we can learn to develop easier and affordable ways to cater housing for the vast majority in a country filled with resources.

Debmarine Namibia’s Diamond Vessel Fitted with a Helideck Debmarine Namibia’s latest additional recovery vessel has started to take a perfect shape after the installation of the helideck in Damen Mangalia Shipyard, Romania. Helideck with the diameter of 22.8m with a total weight 49.2 tonnes will be the largest in the Debmarine Namibia fleet and designed to accommodate helicopters of different specifications such as AW101, Sikorsky S92, and Sikorsky S-61 (MTOW 15600kg).

The new vessel will be fitted with deck integrated latest technology firefighting system, deck helicopter navigation lighting with circle and ‘H’ marking on top as per CAP 437 - standards for offshore helicopter landing areas.

The latest development is an indication that the vessel is nearing construction completion and ready for pilot ocean launch end of this month and geared for its maiden voyage to Cape Town, South Africa for mission equipment fitting early next year. The mission equipment consist of the recovery tool and processing plant of which parts of the steel works are being manufactured in Walvis Bay.

Poverty Eradication Through Community Driven Housing

RMB and partners reaffirm support to Shack Dwellers Federation of Namibia

T

he COVID-19 pandemic highlighted and exacerbated the plight of most Namibians, who were left penniless and in many cases without a roof over their heads – some because their landlords evicted them, some because they could no longer pay their home loan instalments and many – because they had no proper roof to begin with.

Assisting fellow Namibians and lending a helping hand – especially with a home to call your own - became even more important in 2020 and Ohorongo Cement, RMB through the FirstRand Namibia Foundation and the Pupkewitz Foundation rose to the challenge by pledging a sponsorship to the value of N$ 9 million towards the Shack Dwellers Federation Namibia (SDFN) in support of community driven housing over the next three years.

The SDFN’s strategy of providing low-income community driven housing is an extremely effective poverty eradication strategy. Being a homeowner and being able to offer your

16

family a home and it is most certainly the dream of almost every Namibian, especially for the heads of households.

Housing and the availability of land have been recurring news topics over many years and rightly so, as we believe that all Namibians should have quality housing. While house prices might have taken a slight dip and seem to have stabilised somewhat, the prices are still not within the affordability range of the most vulnerable of our society.

We believe that having your own house, made of brick and mortar, and being able to afford it, is a positive step in the direction of anti-poverty as brick houses are built with a kitchen and a bathroom and possibly two more rooms, which could be utilised as an office or rented out for extra income. Having your own roof also means that owners are no longer at the mercy of possible ruthless landlords and can budget according to their monthly payments.

Construction & Mining Magazine - December 2020 - January 2021 Edition

Housing From experience FNB also knows that owning a home gives people a sense of belonging and dignity as they no longer, for example, need to use a communal toilet. At the same time, it also increases the sense of safety as electricity provided negates the use of candles and a door can be locked at night against possible thieves as a well-built, welllit community with proper housing provides a safe environment.

We believe that affordable housing improves the community and further supports better health care – if all amenities within a built structure are in working order.

Windhoek has faced an outbreak of cholera and hepatitis E due to unhygienic situations in the informal settlements. A small, affordable house with proper plumbing, electricity and waste removal is the way to go.

As partners of this initiative FNB is extremely proud of the tremendous progress on this project, in realisation of the provision of descent affordable housing and improved sanitation for the Namibian people. Housing has gained prominence as one of the key national development priorities and an important vehicle for addressing poverty and inequality as well as for bringing about economic advancement. Therefore, we adopted the provision of and access to decent housing as one of our key development priorities.

FNB will continue to rededicate ourselves to the crucial developmental objective and goal of adequate housing for every Namibian.

The Tale of Roel Rutgers “Give a man a fish and you feed him one meal. Teach him to fish and he can feed himself for many meals.”

A Chinese proverb, that has carried weight over decades to this day. This is the tale of Roel Rutgers, a Duch Architect who has indeed done his part in positively impacting society.

The merger between his love for nature and his education in architecture from the Delft University of Technology led to the birth of Tabled Design. His story of manufacturing and building low budget houses for people in the slums of Windhoek struck a chord.

Moreover, this led to a more touching sight as Roel was destined to impact society in a heartfelt way. He ended up in Hope Village an orphanage for those stricken by poverty. The downfall was that those who grew older and got out of the orphanage still had a low chance of making it in this world. Roel came just in time to make a difference as he now trains and works with those who emerge out of the orphanage, giving them a start in life.

We can learn from Roel and use our gifts and knowledge to make a difference. A little goes a long way.
