New Year’s Day crash claims 2
Erwin Leuschner
The lifeless body of a newborn baby boy was discovered on Wednesday at about 13:00 in a public bin located on the corner of Vrede Rede and Aldridge Street close to the Woermann Brock shopping complex. The person who abandoned the infant there is yet to be arrested. The shocking discovery was made by a young boy, who was in the area curiously looking into the bin. "It was my cousin's child who found the body and called me", said Josefina Swartbooi to namib times. Swartbooi was in the vicinity walking towards the shops when the baby's body was discovered. After she was told of the grim content of the bin, she went to look for herself. "I was completely in shock seeing that lifeless body lying there. I started crying and ran back and it was my employer who immediately called the police", she explained still shocked and horrified at the incident. The baby was suspected to have been born earlier on Wednesday. It is suspected the newborn was suffocated before being wrapped in a plastic with the placenta still attached to it before it was dumped next to the busy public Continues on Page 2

The message is now crystal clear. If you commit crimes against tourists a swift and rather lengthy prison sentence can await you. And forget about stretched out investigations and repeat appearances in court – your spot in the Government Hotel (prison) is booked in a matter of days.
Divers and a recovery truck were needed near Pelican Point to recover the Toyota Land Cruiser in which Mr Heiner Dörgeloh was killed on 30 December in an incident in which Walvis Bay resident Mr Tinus van Zyl drove into the water. Van Zyl now faces a possible charge of culpable homicide. (Full report on page 2).
Thanks to the quick response by members of the Namibian Police, police reservists and the Swakopmund Neighbourhood Watch two persons who stole from tourists during the festive season in Swakopmund were not only caught but also convicted and sentenced to jail in a matter of a few days. The first incident was reported on Christmas Day. A 32-year German tourist was sitting on a bench next to the Vineta walkway on the ocean front when a person suddenly reached over her shoulder from behind and grabbed her Samsung Tablet S5 valued at N$6 000. When she turned around the person who grabbed the device allegedly threatened her with a big knife and left. The incident was immediately reported to the Neighborhood Watch and thanks to their quick response one suspect, who was still in the possession of the knife as well as the stolen tablet, was apprehended. A second suspect believed to be an accomplice was also arrested. The two suspects appeared in the Swakopmund magistrates court three days later. The complainant testified and the main suspect, Hawie Kahuika (20), was convicted and sentenced to 24 months imprisonment without the option of a

Bay Air’s office gutted by fire hours before new year Bay Air Aviation's office at the Walvis Bay Waterfront was gutted by a fire only hours before the new year. The cause of the fire is yet to be confirmed. Patrons at Sarah se Gat as well as guests at nearby restaurants noticed smoke coming from the top floor at around 15:30 on Sunday, 31 December. They investigated and found the locked offices in flames. Thanks to prompt reactions, the door was broken down and the fire was extinguished. Apart from fire, heat and smoke damage there was also water damage and all windows were broken. All equipment in the office was also destroyed. The fire brigade responded to the scene and found the fire already extinguished. They nonetheless carried out an inspection to see if the rest of the businesses in the centre is safe.
Fatal accident at Pelican Point - case of culpable homicide investigated Staff Reporter
A case of culpable homicide is currently being investigated against Walvis Bay resident, Tinus van Zyl, following the death of a passenger in a vehicle he drove on the beach on the Pelican Point peninsula on 30 December. Van Zyl's vehicle plunged into the sea. Due to the steep slope at which the water in the area becomes deep, the vehicle was totally submerged within seconds. The sole passenger, Mr. Heiner Dörgeloh (58), was trapped in the vehicle and presumably drowned. Dörgeloh was a well-known businessman of Omaruru and for many years spent his time between this Erongo town and Walvis Bay. Dörgeloh fought brain cancer for close to a decade and was confined to a wheel chair, as the illness left him partly paralysed. He was also cared for in a hospice in Walvis Bay in recent months, as his illness made it increasingly difficult for him to spend extended periods at Omaruru. On 30 December he was taken on a beach ride by van Zyl. Van Zyl and the Dörgeloh shared the same friendship circle. The vehicle, a Toyota Land Cruiser, plunged into the sea and within seconds was totally submerged in water several meters deep. Earlier media reports over the incident suggest Van Zyl tried in vain to free Dörgeloh from the submerged vehicle. In the meantime, the Namibian Police opened a case of culpable homicide to determine whether Dörgeloh's death was accidental and whether recklessness was the cause. "Investigating a case of culpable homicide is standard procedure in these instances. We believe several people have witnessed this incident on 30 December or were present in the area in the hours before the fatal accident. We therefore call upon individuals to come forward, to assist with information to properly investigate this matter", a senior police official said this week. Eyewitnesses or people with more information are required to contact Detective sergeant Shipingana at 064-219054 or 081 602 1522.

fine. The second suspect, a 17-year old Namibian, was acquitted after insufficient evidence was presented. The second incident was reported on 27 December 2017. At about 12:30 in the Swakopmund central business district three suspects smashed the window of a rented car parked in Sam Nujoma Avenue. The victims were South African tourists. The suspects grabbed a back pack, two towels and a book with a combined value of N$2 760-55 before running off. Once again, all three suspects were promptly apprehended and all stolen items were recovered. The three suspects appeared in the Swakopmund magistrates court two days later and in this instance too the victim testified. The case was finalised and one accused, Thomas Johannes (35), was convicted and sentenced to a fine of N$3 000-00 or six months imprisonment. Two suspects were acquitted.

Government officials need to get respect for the public
New Year’s Day crash on C14 - two South Africans killed Erwin Leuschner
A fatal head-on collision on the C14 gravel road between Walvis Bay and Solitaire in the vicinity of the Gaub pass on New Year's Day claimed the lives of two South African tourists. Five more people were seriously injured. According to reports a SUV collided head-on with an approaching tourist vehicle, which was transporting four French tourists and one Namibian guide. The accident occurred on a blind crest. As the accident occurred in a remote area, it took emergency and rescue services close to two hours to reach the scene, the West Coast Safety Initiative (WCSI) reported. The injured were stabilised at the scene and were transported to the Welwitschia Private Hospital at Walvis Bay.

Following public outrage over a Swakopmund police officer who parked a service vehicle in a parking bay reserved for people living with disabilities in front of Swakopmund Spar shopping complex on 30 December, a similar incident allegedly occurred only a few days earlier involving a government vehicle. The Government vehicle used this same parking spot, much to the irk of passers by. The Government official disregarded the fact the parking bay is reserved for people with disabilities and parked there to go grocery shopping. A concerned Swakopmund resident informed namib times and provided pictures. "The matter bears down to respect. Our police and other Government officials as a matter of urgency need to nurture respect for other Namibians.
More so for vulnerable people like the elderly and those living with disabilities who are reliant on public infrastructure like parking bays designated for the disabled, in order to make life less challenging for them", said the person who provided the pictures.

Drowning at Henties Bay Sharlien Tjambari
A minor boy presumably drowned in Henties Bay on Wednesday afternoon, whilst two more were hospitalised after they were swept away in a strong sea current. The search for the missing boy was ongoing yesterday, but the body was not yet recovered at the time of going to print. According to Deputy Commissioner Erastus Iikuyu, police regional crime investigations coordinator for Erongo, five boys, aged between six and ten years old, went swimming in the ocean on Wednesday morning. At about 14:00, as the high tide was coming in, the minors were swept away by a strong rip-current and were unable to swim safely back to shore. "One young man who was strolling on the beach saw the dilemma and went in, but he only managed to rescue four boys", Iikuyu explained. The fifth boy, who has been identified as Lee-Wayne Nanubeb (10), presumably drowned. According to Lifelink Emergency Rescue Services the youngest of the group, the 6-year-old, was unresponsive, did not breathe and had no heartbeat. Paramedics successfully resuscitated the boy and he started breathing again. “He was immediately transported to the clinic where the very dedicated nursing staff took over. The child showed significant recovery", Lifelink announced. The child was later transferred to Swakopmund for specialist care. People who fall victim to near drowning must be monitored for up to 72 hours for signs of secondary drowning, a condition brought about by excess fluid in the lungs. The second child who was responsive was also hospitalised due to fears of secondary drowning. The other minors were treated for shock.
Search for missing American on Brandberg called-off Erwin Leuschner
The search for the American national of Senegalese origin who is missing on the Brandberg since 15 December last year has been called off. The Namibian Police called off all search efforts by air and on foot for Mark Mokosso (37) who is believed to have gone missing on a short hiking excursion up the mountain. Mokosso was on holiday in Namibia. On that fateful morning he allegedly drove alone from Swakopmund to the Brandberg for camping. He was travelling in a white Ford Ranger belonging to Namibia Car Rentals. Later that day, the vehicle was found parked next to the D2342 gravel road. There was no trace of Mokosso. After following foot tracks leading from the vehicle, the police initially assumed that Mokosso walked to the Brandberg by foot and
ascended the mountain. With all search efforts failing to locate Mokosso on the mountain, the Police now includes a criminal act against Mokosso as the next avenue to solve the mystery of his disappearance. Over the Christmas period Mokosso's brothers, Roy and Brilliant as well as his twin sister, Marie Nutter, flew to Namibia and joined the search for him. They have in the meantime issued a reward of N$150 000 to anyone who can find Mokosso alive or a reward of N$50 000 for the location of his mortal remains.

He showed no signs of life. Martin was declared dead by a private medical practitioner at the Swakopmund state hospital.

Environmental friendly loo’s for Bloedkoppies Sharlien Tjambari
Langer Heinrich Uranium (LHU) recently handed over four newly constructed water closet units to the Ministry of Environment and Tourism at Bloedkoppies, replacing the facilities LHU installed at the camping site back in 2010. These toilet units are environmental friendly as it needs water, chemicals or electricity to break down sewage waste. Built at a total cost of N$90 000, the facilities were received by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism's Acting Director for Parks and Wildlife, Johnson Ndokosho. During the hand over Ndokosho commended LHU and urged the Ministry's staff members to take care of these facilities. "The Ministry would like to commend LHU for providing sanitation facilities to be used by our visitors to the Namib Naukluft Park, specifically those that visit Bloedkoppies. These toilets will ensure waste is disposed of in a manner that is consistent with the national policy on sanitation. LHU is indeed an important partner in environmental management and meeting the Government halfway will go a long way in ensuring that our visitors have a wonderful experience visiting the area", he said. Environment superintendent, Richard Kangumba who represented LHU at the handover, high-
lighted LHU's commitment to ensuring effective environmental management across all aspects of its operations. "LHU is situated in the Namib Naukluft Park and has been enjoying a very good relationship with the Ministry of Environment and Tourism. In 2015, LHU renovated the Park Ranger Station House in the Namib Naukluft Park at total cost of N$380,000. LHU has and strives to assist the Ministry in maintaining the park facilities to make it a safe place for its inhabitants and tourists. LHU hopes these facilities will enable the park visitors to enjoy their stay at Bloedkoppies", he said. The toilet facilities use zero water and treat waste through the natural processes of dehydration and evaporation. There is no contact or contamination of the waste to either the immediate or surrounding environment. No electricity, power or chemicals are needed as the wind and the sun are the natural elements breaking down the waste.

Unusual fish bagged at Wlotzkasbaken
For anglers Johan and his son Hennie van der Westhuizen there was a very unusual fish in the bag this festive season in the Wlotzkasbaken area. Hennie van der Westhuizen caught this fish which resembles a galjoen, but the fish had a pair of lips which had everybody guessing. Was it a disease or an injury which caused the poor fish to showcase such a prominent pair of lips? The van der Westhuizen's asked several fishermen who were equally dumbstruck by this unusual catch, but after they conducted some research [and they are open for alternative theories] they established provisionally this fish is fairly common in Angolan waters, where it is referred to as the donkey fish or sweetlips. "Well, it might be common in Angolan waters, but certainly not at Wlotzkasbaken", remarked a seasoned angler when namib times showed him the picture. He said it is the first time in his more than three decades of angling on the Namibian coast to see there is actually such a species of fish in our waters.

Ambunda secures WBA title insideThe Dome - “Danny Boy” Felesiano and “Cowboy” Nashivela celebrate emphatic wins
Albinis "Danny Boy" Felesiano
Paulus "The Rock" Ambunda is the new WBC Silver International Super Bantamweight champion after beating his Tanzanian counterpart Nasibu Ramadhan at the Desert Rumble boxing bonanza inside The Dome Swakopmund on Friday night. The fight night, arguably the biggest the coastal town of Swakopmund has ever seen, was cohosted by Kalakoda Promotions from South Africa and the Salute Boxing Academy with plenty of dignitaries, including the Minster of Environment and Tourism, Hon Pohamba Shifeta and Police Chief Lieutenant General Sebastian Ndeitunga in attendance. Kwesé Sport aired
the fight live to more than 30 countries in Africa. Ambunda started his title fight off a lot more reserved than anticipated by much of the crowed as the former IBO world champion kept the guest from east Africa at a distance for much of the first four rounds, peppering the Tanzanian with quick combinations before taking up a defensive stance again. However, Ramadhan, highly experience after 35 bouts in paid ranks, did well to avoid any damage by the Ambundas hits. After a third of the fight passed, "The Rock" had adjusted well enough to his difficult opponent and started to control the action more and more. Ramadhan tried his utmost to still force a turnaround in front of a full capacity crowd, upping his work rate but failing to seriously trouble Ambunda, who eventually calmly played out his advantage past the 12-round mark. Ambundas dominance was reflected in the final score, as the three judges John Chaggu (Tanzania), John Shipanuka (Zambia) and Fillemon Mweya (Namibia) voted unanimously in favour of "The Rock" (118:109, 115:113 and 118:108). "I have worked very hard for this fight. I'm ready for another title shot", Ambunda announced after his 25-career victory. In the main supporting bout, Swakopmund-local and crowd-favourite Albinis "Danny Boy" Felesiano had a short work day as his thundering left
hook sent Raston Kayira from Malawi crashing to the deck after 47 seconds in the second round. Felesiano, who had recently spent a couple of weeks of preparation with Kalakoda Promotions in Cape Town, had promised he would "bring the pain" on Friday night and surely kept his word. After an uneventful first round, "Danny Boy" was causing Kayira all sorts of problems just after the gong got the second round underway. A short exchange of blows in the non-title lightweight fight between the two fighters was eventually ended in emphatic fashion as Felesiano's hook knocked Kayira out cold. "I told everybody I would win this fight and I did just that. I am very happy and now I look forward to the next thing", the winner explained. His record now stands at 18 fights with 15 wins, two losses and one draw. An even more dominant performance came from hot Namibian junior middleweight prospect Vakufilapo "Cowboy" Nashivela. Going into the fight for the vacant WBF Afrika Title undefeated with five wins from the same amount of fights, four of which failed to go over the whole distance, the pressure was on Nashivela to deliver against South African George Mduli. Despite his relatively tender age of 28 years, the "Cowboy" stepped up to celebrate his quickest win ever, sending Mduli to the canvas after a mere 47 seconds in the first round. In other action, Joseph "Smoky Joe" Hilonga beat Tinkhani Kamanga from Malawi on points (56:58, 55:58, 55:59). Namibian Jonas Matheus had a tough day at the office but managed to eventually reign supreme over Malawi international Israel Kamwamba with a split decision win (56:58, 57:57, 57:58). Immanuel Imms Josef beat George Kandulo from Malawi (60:54, 60:54, 60:54), while Lazarus Shaningwa won the all Namibian fight against his country man Andreas Nghinaunye (40:35, 40:35, 40:35).
