Body recovered of man who jumped off the jetty Erwin Leuschner
The body of Heyno Shone Haoseb, the man who jumped off the Swakopmund jetty on 25 June in a suicide incident was recovered on Friday afternoon.
The man's body was found close to the shore in the vicinity of the Maritime flats. This was confirmed by deputy commissioner Erastus Iikuyu, police regional crime investigations coordinator for Erongo. According to Iikuyu the body was discovered at around 16:00 on Friday, floating in the sea. "The body was found by a member of the public who was swimming in the area. He notified the police as well as personnel of the Sea Rescue Institute of Namibia (SRIN), who recovered the body," Iikuyu explained. The body was taken to Walvis Bay police mortuary where the postmortem examination will be conducted to confirm the cause of death. The body was positively identified by family members.
Haoseb allegedly jumped into the ocean at the jetty in the early morning hours on Sunday (25 June). Initial reports indicated Haoseb had a quarrel with his girlfriend shortly before the incident. He then walked to the jetty with a friend. Both were under the influence of alcohol. According to this friend, Haoseb allegedly walked to the tip of the jetty and jumped into the ocean. The incident occurred at about 04:00 on that day. At the time of the incident the police, the Sea Rescue Institute of Namibia (SRIN) and members of a security company were called to the scene, but they were not able to see any trace of Haoseb due to bad visibility. It was still dark and the mist was lying very low at the time.

UN Namibia: Beware of scammers Piquet Jacobs
The United Nations in Namibia strongly advise the public to be to beware of scams implying association with UN Namibia and its agencies. The organisation's name has recently been implicated in several identity fraud cases in Windhoek.
The fraudsters allegedly pretend to be presentatives of UN agencies, namely the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and through this alias request information and money from individuals, businesses or nonprofit organizations under the impression that the funds will go toward assisting victims. Others ask for registration f e e s f o r conferences allegedly sponsored by UN agencies and for hotel reservations, again with the promise of certain benefits. Another type of scam proposes employment opportunities with UN agencies. These scams sometimes carry the UN logo, or logos of agencies of the UN System, and originate from or refer to e-mail addresses made to look like an agency or UN address. "UN Namibia wishes to warn the
public of these misleading practices that do not originate from UN Namibia and are not, in any way associated with UN Namibia's projects or events. UN Namibia strongly recommends that recipients of such solicitations verify carefully their authenticity before sending any response," was stated in a press release regarding the matter. The organization would like the public to take note that they do not request money for recruitment, they do not charge a fee at any stage of its procurement process, nor do they charge registration fees for conferences or meetings, they also do not request or issue personal bank checks or any other type of money transfer at any stage of its procure-ment / recruitment process. UN Namibia does not request any information related to bank
accounts or other private information prior to formal registration as a vendor, neither do they offer prizes, awards, funds, certificates, scholarships or conduct lotteries through telephone, e-mail, mail or fax. Financial loss and identity theft can result from the transfer of money or personal information to those issuing such fraudulent correspondence. UN Namibia is not responsible for any such loss or theft. Individuals suspicious of a scam are encouraged to report suspect communications to the United Nations Department of Safety and Security in Namibia (+264 61 2046111 / +264 81 1274629 / johnny.katzao@un dss.org) or to visit the UN House in Klein Windhoek, Namibia to verify claims. Victims of scams may also wish to report them to local law enforcement authorities for appropriate action.
As part of the celebration of Founding President Sam Nujoma's 88th birthday, fishing company Erongo Marine Enterprises decided to donate canned fish to the value of N$100 000 to several marginalised communities and schools. Dr. Nujoma was allowed to identify the beneficiaries. At the same event a donation of N$250 000 was made towards completing the construction of the Etunda Farm Primary School near Otavi. In receiving the donation, Dr. Nujoma confirmed the fish will be distributed to the Children Life Change Centre in Windhoek, Ada Ma /Hao Senior group and Ausens Kindergarden in Otavi, as well as the Omuangete Primary school at Opuwo. "Through our various corporate social investment initiatives, Erongo Marine Enterprises will continue to convert our fishing rights into human
rights that create shared value by investing in sustainable and empowering community programmes. Also to advance the lives of local communities, not only in the Erongo Region, but throughout Namibia as illustrated here today. This shows our full support and commitment to the new fisheries scorecard, implemented by the Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources," Erongo Marine Enterprises managing director, Dr. Martha Uumati, said at the hand over. Note: Erongo Marine Enterprises also committed N$135 000 to sponsor Simon Petrus' studies at the Windhoek Vocational Training Centre, for a period of three years. This young genius stunned the world in 2016 with his invention of a mobile phone that works with radio frequencies, requiring no SIM card or airtime credit.

Single parent cries out for help as son suffers from glaucoma Sharlien Tjambari
When Tangi Martin from Swakopmund was two years old he was diagnosed with glaucoma, a disease in which damage to the optic nerves in the eyes leads to progressive, irreversible loss of eyesight. The boy's medical condition takes its toll on his father, Sam Martin, who has to regularly administer him eyedrops. To make matters more complicated, the eyedrops are only available in Windhoek. Tangi's father noticed something was wrong when the boy as toddler could not handle bright sunlight, as his eyes were super sensitive. The boy was subsequently diagnosed with glaucoma and he requires special eye drops. The eyedrops are expensive and have to be collected in Windhoek every other month – also at a price. According to an optometrist, Tangi was born with neither an iris nor a crystalline lens in both his eyes. He does not have the ability to focus properly. Due to this abnormality he suffers from glaucoma, an illness resulting in eventual blindness if the condition is left untreated. Tangi's eyes are extremely light sensitive, as his lenses are nearly non-existent. They are totally opaque. "When Tangi was diagnosed with glaucoma he was in and out of Swakopmund state hospital, because we do not have medical aid. When I saw a specialist from South Africa he only prescribed sunglasses thinking that Tangi suffered some form of allergy to the sun" explains Mr. Sam Martin. Martin is a single parent and his responsibility as father coupled with his son's medical condition is extremely hard on him. A specialist advised Martin that treatment would remain very costly and referred him to a certain Dr. Ndume at the Windhoek Central Hospital. "I consulted Dr. Helena Ndume and she told me that although she studied the subject matter on glaucoma, she never actually encountered someone with the disease. She therefore advised me to wait for a professor from South Africa. That was three years back," Martin continues. The professor did see Tangi, and the outcome was not very promising. "He said that nothing could be done at the moment and he gave us eye drops, which we are supposed to administer twice a day - depending on the pressure within the child's eyes". Tangi wears glasses, as he cannot see very far. Additionally, he wears special glasses to read and study. Martin adds Tangi can still see with his glasses, but he requires eye drops daily. The state hospital in Swakopmund does not have these drops available, hence the regular trips to Windhoek. "I travel every two months, just for my child's wellbeing. It is very costly," he explains. According to Martin he usually receives two bottles of eye drops. One bottle cost as many as N$500 and he pays without the assistance of a medical aid. When Martin asked at the state hospital to stock the eye drops, he was told that some eye drops are very expensive for Government and cannot be distributed to regional medical centres. "They told me there is nothing else they can do for my son," said the concerned father. "Must I travel to Windhoek every second month for the rest of my life? I am based in Swakopmund, I just want the Ministry of Health to help me by at least sending me the eye drops. This alone can make a difference" he pleads.

From the Orange to the Kunene on a surf-ski kayak Two men, one kayak and 1 600 kilometers: Ian Daniel and Desmond Howard from Windhoek will attempt a new record and paddle the entire Namibian coastline from the mouth of the Orange River to the Kunene mouth. If everything goes to plan, they will start their adventure on Monday (10 July). "Ian has always had this idea of a big adventure on a surf-ski," explained Ciske Smith to namib times. Ciske is the moral support and back-up driver for the two kayakers. She continues: "When Ian saw that no one has ever done the Namibian coastline with a surf ski, he decided that's what he wants to do." That is how the Skeleton Coast Challenge border2border was born. While Ian and Desmond will paddle in a double surf ski, Ciske will travel by land and meet up with them regularly with supplies.

Two new navy vessels delivered for Namibia Two navy vessels destined for service in the Namibian Navy were delivered in Walvis Bay yesterday. The two vessels were shipped to Namibia on the cargo deck of the Chineseregistered cargo vessel Da Qing and lowered into the water alongside at berth number seven in the port of Walvis Bay. A spokesperson for the Namibia Defence Force in Windhoek yesterday confirmed the delivery of the two naval vessels, but said there is limited information available as to the origin of the vessels and the role these vessels would fulfill. The spokesperson also confirmed the Ministry of Defence will make an announcement soon and that quayside christening ceremonies would take place in the weeks to come during which these two latest naval assets will be showcased to the Namibian public.

Jandré Dippenaar case re-open The murder trial against Jandré Dippenaar, accused of having caused the deaths of six people in a horror car crash on the Henties Bay to Swakopmund road on 29 December 2014 is set to resume next Wednesday (12 July) in the Swakopmund regional court. Taking the witness stand will be German national Antonia Joschko, the sole survivor of her family of four. Joschko is set to relive the events of 29 December 2014, when she lost her father, mother and sister in the crash. At the time, she was 16 years old. The collision, which was allegedly caused by Dippenaar, caused the death of her father Markus Walter Helmut Joschko, mother Stephanie Schermuck-Joschko and her sister Alexandra Marlene Joschko. The Joschko family was travelling towards Swakopmund in a Ford Ranger pick-up when a head-on collision with a Toyota FJ Cruiser allegedly driven by Dippenaar took place. Of the four occupants in the FJ Cruiser, only Dippenaar survived. The three passengers in the FJ Cruiser died on the spot. They were JC Horn, Dinah Pretorius and Charlene Schoombee. He is facing various charges, including six counts of murder. Anna KeeMaldrid Josti I feel sorry for the poor Laurika L And imagine how she will be pulled daughter who has to relive that traumatic incident apart and cross examined by his lawyer and the all over expert they have called.

WBCG Elated by one stop border post bill pass The Walvis Bay Corridor Group in a news statement on its website this week welcomed the passing of the One-Stop Border Posts Control Bill. Namibia has several trade corridors that link the port of Walvis Bay as import- and export hub to markets in neighbouring countries. However, smooth import and export trade can only take place if and border posts between Namibia and her neighbours have unified border clearance paperwork in place. This new legislation paves the way to implement standardised procedures between Namibia and neighbouring Angola, Zambia, Botswana and South Africa. The news statement reads: "The Walvis Bay Corridor Group (WBCG) has welcomed the One-Stop Border Posts Control Bill recently passed in the National Assembly. Finance Minister, Honourable Calle Schlettwein, who tabled the Bill, stated that One-Stop Border Posts indeed have the potential to improve trans-border traffic in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and with regards to law enforcement. "As a result, it can curb illicit trade and act as a better gate keeper at our borders", he stated. Julia Moller What is a one stop border
Criminal nest Two houses in 6th street, situated next to one another behind Shoprite in Walvis Bay, has been left abandoned by their owners and have since been stripped and become a hide out. The houses are in terrible condition, as built in cupboards and appliances have been stolen and the places left in a mess of clutter, filth and faeces. Since these houses have been abandoned, the number of burglaries in the street have gone up. Residents of the street have made numerouscomplaints to the municipality as well as the owners, about the houses attracting visitors at night, who are suspected of using the houses as a hiding place. These visitors are nowhere to be found when day breaks. "These people can be heard during the night, they are loud. Since the houses have been left empty, the street has experienced more break-ins and we believe that they use these empty houses to hide." Konrad Same happened with the SA embassy houses in Walvis Bay. It is a risk for us neighboring these houses.

The owners have done some to almost no maintenance and just left the equipment on site, alarm system rang for weeks, 24 hours a day and no one bothered till eventually... They've broken into that home and turned it one of these hideout places. They break the house apart and use the items to build a makeshift ladder and climb walls. This was reported to my landlords and they did what they could, and to the Municipality and it fell on deaf ears. they tried to break into my place at 5 30pm during a weekday whilst I was home even. sheer brazen Katja Glöditzsch That's the problem - it gets reported but nothing is done about it.

Namib Diesel Social League Brr.. it's feels so cold yet according to the weather app it isn't, maybe the grave yard shift has a role to play in it. One thing is for certain onesies are great and I shall never joke about them again. Ahh! Warmth creeping in, hot chocolate n marshmallows in hand and snug as bug.. Okay preparation done and the proper mindset attained.. The results for Wednesday the 28st are as follows:-
Seawork [3] vs WB Hardware & Building Supplies [3] 1. Brandon Grane vs Luke Allen 3-0. There's no stopping Brandon when he is on top of his game. 2. Juren Sander vs Jenny Pahl 2-3. Yep Jen's getting her game back.. She played a super game that left Jurgen spinning. Was Jurgen cross?.. Nah! He accepted the fitting result. 3. Andre Davids vs Chantel de Gouveia 23. Whoa, what a humdinger. These players must have been exhausted afterwards. The last game going to 20-18, which Chantel managed to nail and take an awesome match. 4. Reinette Mentz vs Ricku Mans 3-1.
