Walvis Bay resident aboard floating library Logos Hope Walvis Bay residents looking forward to see the world's largest book fair aboard the ship Logos Hope mid-July have something more to look forward to – being served by Walvis Bay resident Benizo Smith Junior who is already working aboard the ship for his third month. Benizo (Bennie) Smith is the son of pastor Bennie and Karin Smith of the Walvis Bay Living Water Full Evangelical Church. Benizo Junior is a youth pastor for the past eight years and when his father showed him the brochure of Logos Hope some months ago, he instantly knew that was to be his next calling. He joined the crew of Logos Hope at the beginning of May and along with 400 other volunteers will bring their life changing stories to the people of the coast and wider Namibia when the ship docks in the last days of July. A statement of Logos Hope reads: “Logos Hope, the world's largest floating book fair, will soon bring its international crew with their life changing stories for the first time to Walvis Bay, Namibia. “Serving on board is the best experience of my life,” said Benizo Smith

Piquet Jacobs Die munisipale verkeersowerheid op Walvisbaai het sy optrede teen konstruksievoertuie verskerp en 'n totaal van dertig vragmotors is sedert verlede Sondag vir onpadwaardigheid van die pad gehaal. Daarbenewens is vragmotorbestuurders ook vasgevat oor hul vragte wat nie met nette toegemaak is nie. Van die sondebokke is wipbakvragmotors van die Sjinese konstruksiemaatskappy China Harbour & Engineering Company (CHEC) asook vragmotors wat op kontrak sout tussen die soutpanne en die Walvisbaai hawe aanry. Die verkeersowerheid se optrede vorm deel van 'n groter padveiligheidsoperasie waartydens 12 dronkbestuurders ook die naweek op Walvisbaai vasgetrek is, 36 voertuigbestuurders beboet is wat stoptekens verontagsaam het en 12 mense wat in hegtenis geneem is met lasbriewe vir onbetaalde verkeersboetes. Ander oortreders wat vasgevat is: 13 mense is aangekla wat nie veiligheidsgordels gedra het nie, vyf motoriste wie se motors onpadwaardig was of sonder nommerplate was, vyf spoedoortredings, sewe bestuurders wat op hul selfone besig was, vier bestuurders is beboet omdat hulle sonder wettige bestuurslisensies bestuur het en twee mense is vasgevat omdat hulle versuim het om aan die instruksies van 'n verkeersbeampte gehoor te gee.
