Two plead guilty after caught with 60 illegally harvested rock lobster Erwin Leuschner Fishing Inspectors, private investigators and members of the Swakopmund neighbourhood watch made a break-through in the illegal rock lobster trade over the weekend after arresting two residents who illegally harvested 60 rock lobsters – even though the season is currently closed. Lorenzo Pitt (23) and Edmund Klazen (42) were sentenced to a fine of N$2 000 each yesterday.

“This is a huge success. We haven't clamped down on people who have poached so many rock lobsters in years,” said Stanley Ndara, Fisheries Control Inspector in the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources, yesterday to namib times. The two suspects spent the weekend in the holding cells and made a

court appearance yesterday.

According to Ndara the inspectors had an eye out for Pitt and Klazen for a while already.

“Initially we got a tipoff that they were to go out on Thursday evening, but nothing happened. We went back on Friday evening and made the breakthrough,” he said. The two individuals started

diving at about 22:00.

“We set up a mini-roadblock at the entrance of Swakopmund and caught them in the possession of rock lobster just after midnight,” Ndara explained.

The Namibian season for harvesting rock lobster runs from 1 November to 30 April.

The Dogg sets example with circumcision Erwin Leuschner The United States has now committed an additional N$100 million to support the Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) in Namibia. During the official opening of the VMMC Site in Swakopmund on Friday Namibian artist “The Dogg” announced that he will undergo the procedure in August this year – and the Minister of Health and Social Services, Dr Bernard Haufiku, will circumcise him personally.

Male circumcision is safe, free and accessible to the public, thanks to the United States and various other donors that have made a huge amount of money available for this very purpose. “The World Health Organisation (WHO) believes that circumcision reduces a man's chances of Continues on page 2

Rock lobster Continued from page 1 permit a harvester may only harvest seven rock lobsters per day. The carapace length has to be 65 mm respectively. A rock lobster carrying eggs may not be taken. In this case the suspects were in the possession of 60 rock lobsters of which 33 were undersized and two were carrying eggs.

Pitt and Klazen were charged with harvesting rock lobsters during a closed season. During their court appearances yesterday in the Magistrates Court both pleaded guilty in front of Magistrate Nelao Brown. During sentencing state prosecutor Tanja Jacobie argued that it is a serious offence prevalent in the district. “The reason for not fishing in closed season is to give marine resources the chance to grow and multiply,” she said and argued for the prescribed fine being N$4 800 or twelve months imprisonment.

During her sentencing Brown took various factors into consideration, amongst others the personal details of the accused. “The court is of the opinion that an option of a fine will meet the justice in this matter; the fine must be of such nature that it will cause the accused to feel the economic impact of such fine for some time to come,” she said. She sentenced both Pitt and Klazen to a fine of N$2 000 or in default of payment to twelve months in prison of which N$500 or six months is suspended on condition that the accused are not convicted of the same contravention again.

It alleged that the accused were catching rock lobsters for a “fixed market” in Swakopmund.

“You cannot put a value on these animals as the season is closed. You may not harvest rock lobsters now. It's as simple as that,” Ndara said. He argues that currently the fines are very low and these need to be revised urgently to serve as a deterrent. The rock lobsters were confiscated by the Ministry and will, as is customary, be donated to a charity at a later stage.

only one percent of the intended target. “The situation needs to change now that there are additional resources,” he continued.

According to Dr Haufiku the procedure only takes 30 minutes and holds many health advantages. While it reduces the risk of HIV infection substantially, circumcision also improves hygiene, reduces the risk of developing penile cancer and reduces the risk of passing the virus that causes cervical cancer to their female partners.

During his speech Ambassador Daughton said that “experts tell us that Namibia is getting close to controlling its HIV epidemic.”

Since the U.S. became a partner in the fight against HIV in 2003 the rate of infection has been reduced tremendously. While in 2003 one in four Namibian adults were infected, today that number is one in seven. “That's right: The goal of epidemic control – of achieving an AIDSfree generation in Namibia – is within reach,” he said.

The main regional VMMC site is based in Swakopmund. Another fixed site is located in the Kuisebmond

Health Centre in Walvis Bay. “In order to have the greatest impact possible, there are also several outreach sites where VMMC services will be made

more accessible to men working in fishing and mining,” he said.

Fire destroys thirteen shacks Sharlien Tjambari A total of fourteen residents of Swakopmund lost their homes in Ombwindja Street, Tulinawa Mondesa after the shacks they were living in burnt to the ground on Friday at around 09:35.

The Deputy Chief of the Swakopmund Fire Brigade, Mr Gerhardt Coetzee, who confirmed this incident, said a total of thirteen shacks burned down completely, leaving about 14 people homeless. Coetzee further said that the course of the fire is still unknown. Many months have passed by since the last shack fire in Swakopmund and the people were very saddened when they were watching their neighbours' shacks reduced to ash.

One resident who works at a mine was lucky, because his friends managed to remove all his belongings from the shack before the fire reached his shack. No lives were lost and no people were injured during the shack fire, casting a blessing over this otherwise tragic event.

Y-Fem empowers women in self-defence Sharlien Tjambari Last week the Young Feminists Movement Namibia (Y-Fem Namibia) started with the training of trainers in self-defence at Swakopmund, an initiative forming part of the Movement's campaign on violence prevention. Young women and girls of Swakopmund benefit from this program.

The expected outcome of the training is for women to gain the skills that facilitate the setting of healthy emotional and physical boundaries. Self defence is not only about physical skills to protect oneself from an attacker or would-be attacker, but concentrates on safety and preventative measures not to fall victim.

The Y-Fem -defence campaign aims at reaching a wide range of the nation and attract public opinion on the need for women to gain skills to eliminate violence in their communities by talking about violence prevention strategies. The focus of the campaign will be on violence prevention, emphasising on the impact of violence against women in our community and strategic steps women can take to protect themselves.

“We hope to encourage different stake holders to provide selfdefence training for women and minority groups” said the Y-Fem Director, Florence Khaxas.

“As feminists, we claim women's and young women's right to ownership and control over our bodies, minds and lives. We have the right to dignity - to be respected as persons with full human rights; to bodily integrity – having control over what happens to our bodies and ensuring our well-being; to autonomy – thinking, speaking and acting for ourselves; and to choice – in all areas of our lives, including our sexuality, relationships and reproduction” adds Khaxas.

Khaxas further said that as feminists, they acknowledge many differences and diversities among

women in the ways in which they craft their identities, and in the ways women are marginalized and oppressed. These differences relate, for example, to women's age; to the racial or ethnic group women are born into; whether women live in rural or urban areas; whether they are poor, middle class or rich; our religious beliefs and spirituality; our political affiliation; our level of formal education; our life experiences and abilities; as well as our sexual orientation and gender identity. “We celebrate our diversities and differences, and seek to build a shared vision and commitment to social transformation in the interests of all of us” adds Khaxas.

“We also plan on working with a reputable organisation to provide basic self-defence for young women. Through the campaign we would like to encourage the community of Swakopmund to join the Fem-defence campaign by signing up for training with that organisation that provides those services” Khaxas emphasised. The campaign is targeting all four coastal towns, namely, Arandis, Henties Bay, Swakopmund and Walvis Bay and training sessions are running twice a week for a period of four months.

Bi-weekly traning sessions of selfdefence will take place in Swakopmund while the weekend selfdefences training will take place in Walvis Bay, Henties Bay and Arandis.

“Our main aim at Y-Fem is to reach out to young women (aged of 16-34) in the Erongo Region and provide them with basic self-defence training” concludes Khaxas.

Fishing industry questions sudden support for marine phosphate mining The Editor Namib Times Dear Sir, The letter in the namib times of Tuesday the 5th July 2016, by Mr King Mandume Muatunga “Phosphate Mining need our collective support in the creation of job employment” cannot be left standing without comment.

Pangolin smugglers slammed with a scandalous N$300 guilt admission Three Namibians came off almost scot-free after they were recently caught redhanded in Swakopmund while trying to allegedly sell two Pangolins – a rare and endangered species. Jason Nangolo (52), Juuso Ipadhi (53) and Hans Aoseb (39) were each fined N$300, while they allegedly were trying to sell the animals for a whooping N$45 000.

Shilongo Kamati Wild as animal taken back into the forest that's good . Fined or not fined don't matter what matters is human minds if they can change or not.

Star Maiden Only 300?? For participating in extinction of endangered species.... that's a bit more than demotivating.... that's just up! The world goes in the wrong direction.....

Katja Bär Glöditzsch This is just so wrong: (These ridiculous fines send a clear message that our country does not value our wildlife heritage! So annoyingly sad!

Andrew Meyer Wat de hel help dit! Dit is so goed soos toestemming van die owerhede af om maar ons wildlewe, en dan nog spesiaal beskermende wild, uit te roei.

Andre' Stadler Wow! N$300 fine for trying to sell an endangered species, I'm speechless, Seriously. There is nothing good to say about that.

Richard Klein Ja net 300 maar steel ‘n skaap of bees dan is dit duisende want die ministers net hul self beskerm.

Carola Krämer And the chinese paid them them ten to one more than that thats why they 300 bail is peanuts for them these smugglers are better off than any person working from 8-5.

Lourens Venter Dis bull....! 1 000000 as jy n renoster poatcher vang maar 300 vir n poatcher om highly protected game te verkoop....wat is die verskil nou eintelik.

Bina Kondjele 300 or its 30000 namibia dollas bail?

Chibo Chikwililwa You're literally ensuring that they try it again. N$300 is too little.

Erich Kesslau Die ordonansie Van 1975 steeds van krag. Nuwe wetgewing dringend nodig om straf en boetes aantepas. Howe kan net toepas wat in wette voorgeskryf word.

Ursula Swanepoel Sjoe, smokkel maar met bedreigde spesies, maar moet asb nie op 'n verkeerde plek stop in die dorp nie. Die fines vir stupid goed is meer as vir goed wat regtig saak maak! Wens ons slim mense wil regtig breins kry en iets vir die samelewing beteken!

MasterBenjamin Pattis Yo....u even get fined more for catching 1 or 2 crayfish 2much!

Andre' Stadler Might as well catch a white rhino and sell it because you'll only get fined N$300.00.

Lioness Lala Zopa Eish.

Mclyn Nsiwa Kasale And they got a man in Katima with a tortoise, the case is still on. Bonnie M Kabozu, Inonge Mainga, Gerardo Luzibalule Lizazi, what's your take on this one?

Natalie Nats Beukes This is just really really wrong.300 is nothing.

Richard Reid Unreal , government needs to sort this out.

Yolandi Loots 300.00? No way.

Borris Erasmus How is this possible....? We can only think.

Janine Schoonbee That is a Disgrace.

Martina Du Toit Sick.

It is interesting to note that Mr Muatunga made the effort to study the 1,000 page hard copy Environmental Verification report on the Sandpiper project, of which there is only one hard copy available at each of the relevant ministries in Windhoek, and which can only be studied on site and not removed, making it extremely difficult for interested parties to get a qualified opinion.

In view of the fact that scientists and administrators world-wide are grappling with, and seeking to find the correct answers on whether phosphate mining is detrimental to the environment or not, we are astonished that the writer can as he puts it 'categorically state' that mining, even if he refers only to trial mining, should go ahead when experts the world over advise a cautious approach.

In his letter the writer goes on to compare phosphate mining to commercial deep sea diamond mining and came to a conclusion that since diamond mining is taking place, phosphate mining should also be allowed. Perhaps it is necessary to point out that there is a substantial difference between commercial diamond mining and the proposed phosphate mining which may have escaped the writer. In sea diamond mining, the gravel is lifted from the sea bottom to the vessel where the diamonds are extracted and the gravel returned overboard. Carried by the water, most of gravel settles back on the sea bottom although not necessarily at the point that it was collected, covering vast expanses of the seafloor and killing all life as the Lüderitz based lobster industry will confirm. After many years, benthic communities may establish themselves again in these areas.

Phosphate mining on the other hand will strip up to 5 metres of sediment which has accumulated on the seafloor over millions of years and in doing so, all life in the stripped areas will be removed FOREVER. The writer categorically supports trial phosphate mining in order to see whose argument, that of the proponents or scientists, who are against mining at this stage, is correct. This is a very interesting proposal in view of the light that in his letter the writer welcomes new investment as long as it does not negatively impact on the current employment situation. If mining is allowed, and let us for argument assume that it does negatively impact on the environment, then by the time that

Disbelief as veteran fishing industry leader Jan Arnold announces his retirement One of the leading figures in the private sector of Namibia's fishing industry, Mr Jan Arnold announced his early retirement this week, much to the astonishment of the wider fishing industry and its support industries.

Denise Van Bergen As the young people say, Jan - "Respect", and with a capital R. It was a privilege to be associated with you, albeit briefly, years' ago. Wish you all blessings and Godspeed on your path forward in life.

Venessa Wolff A great person with whom I had the honor to work with albeit for a short while, but I know everyone that has had contact with Jan has the highest regard for him. I wish you and your family a fantastic future ahead!

Werner Van Der Merwe Hel Jan is dit al sulke tyd vir ons. 40 jaar en dit voel soos gister in daardie klasse. Voorspoed en geniet dit.

Nadine Derbyshire Best wishes to Jan and his family for the future.

Conny Becker Respect . Blessings for your future Sir. Alan Lamont A good man. Respect.

the scientists are proven right, then irreversible damage has been done and the jobs in the fishing industry have been lost. The writer is happy to experiment with the livelihood of+/- 14,000 people directly employed by the fishing industry for the benefit of 160 permanent jobs, presumably not Namibians for that matter because of its nature of operations which will be created if mining goes ahead (470 jobs during construction & 160 permanent according to the press statement by NMP of 17th July 2016!).

The fishing industry has on more than one occasion made it abundantly and categorically clear that we do not see the ocean as being our own pond in which nobody is allowed to paddle, nor are we against phosphate mining per sé. Our concern is that since this type of mining has never been done anywhere in the world, we request an independent scientic research to be conducted to determine whether fishing and phosphate mining can co-exist. We must also be cognicent of the fact that fishing is a RENEWABLE resource while phosphate mining is not. If it is mined, it's gone forever, it can't reproduce while fishing remain an infinite resource if managed sustainably and reponsibly.

As an industry, we are aware of the serious unemployment in our town and the country at large, and just as the writer, we fully support investments that create jobs as long as they do not negatively impact on the current jobs created by the fishing industry.

All over the world countries have put sea phosphate mining on hold until there is irrevocable evidence that the mining does not impact negatively on the environment. The World Bank has also pronounced itself clearly on this matter. Let the independent research be conducted by scientists not financially or otherwise connected to the proponents of mining or the fishing industry continue, even if it requires a number of years. LET'S DO IT FIRST TIME RIGHT! If the research proved that phosphate mining and fisheries can co-exist, then Namibia as a country will benefit, and not just a few. Since the writer is a “Strategic developments analyst”, I request him to read the articles

by Katerina Teaiawa titled 'Ruining Pacific Islands,: 'Australia's Phosphate Imperialism' or the book 'Consuming Ocean Island': 'Stories of People and Phosphate from Banaba'. These sources elaborated how these islands were destroyed by phosphate mining activities. What is heartening is that the phosphate which has been mined went on to develop the agricultural sectors in the other part of the world, while the investors cashed in and disappeared. Let's keep our ocean PURE, NATURAL and FREE from any type of pollution. We have built a responsible and a very successful industry and we should not ONLY be proud of it but WE SHOULD ALSO PROTECT IT.

Namibia Airports Company (Fire Department)donate to Kids Haven

Namsov Community Trust donate to schools in Omaheke Region WITVLEI: The Namsov Community Trust donated tinned fish and sports equipment to needy schools in the Omaheke Region on Saturday.

The donations included more than 1 200 boxes of tinned fish and over 100 soccer balls of an unspecified value to Nossob Combined School at Witvlei and the Gunichas Primary School situated some 15 kilometres outside Gobabis.

Speaking during the handover at Witvlei, Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources Bernard Esau said Namibian marine resources belong to all Namibians and should therefore benefit everyone.

Esau called on other institutions in both the public and private sector to assist Government in the fight against poverty by giving back to the poor.

Director of Education in the Omaheke Regional Council Peka Semba said they received N$2,5 million for the school feeding programme and the donations are a big help.

(NAMPA)

The Fire Squad Team of the Namibia Airports Company Fire Department donated a few items to the Walvis Bay Kids Haven on Friday, 1 July. “Not only should we save lives, but we should devote to loving others, the community around us and to devote to creating something that gives a purpose and meaning. As Winston Churchill once said, 'we make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give', therefore we want to put smiles on these little faces and hope to achieve that by donating to their Haven�

Die wêreld se grootste drywende biblioteek gooi Saterdag anker Floris Steenkamp

Die wêreld se grootste drywende biblioteek, die Logos Hope, sal na verwagting Saterdagoggend in die hawe van Walvisbaai vasmeer vir 'n bykans twee weke fees van kennis, hulp en hoop. 'n Voorspan bestaan-

de uit drie bemanningslede is alreeds vir meer as ses weke op Walvisbaai en het gister tydens 'n mediakonferensie die program bekendgemaak waartydens lede van die publiek die skip kan besoek om boeke teen reuse afslagpryse aan te koop of deel te neem aan 'n reeks aktiwi-

teite wat onder andere kulturele verskeidenheid en Christelike bewusmaking aanwakker en bevorder.

Logos Hope se voorganger, die Doulos, het Walvisbaai laas in 2002 aangedoen waartydens meer as tweeduisend mense aan boord verwelkom is. Sedert Logos Hope in 2009 omgeskakel is in 'n drywende biblio-

teek, wat terloops met meer as vyfduisend boektitels spog, het die Logos Hope meer as 43 000 seemyl afgelê, meer as 62 hawens regoor die wêreld besoek en meer as 2,5 miljoen mense aan boord verwelkom.

“Ons almal aan boord is Christene en ons glo in Jesus Christus”, het die projek-

Boektitels op die Logos Hope sluit in: wetenskappe, sport, stokperdjies, gesinslewe, kinderboeke, akademiese titels, woordeboeke en atlasse.

koördineerder Mareike Fritschen (Duitsland) gister tydens die bekendmaking gesê. Die Logos Hope se meer as vierhonderd bemanningslede kom uit 45 lande en bring tydens hul wêreldreise 'n boodskap van hoop. “Ons besoek baie lande van ander geloofskulture, maar ons bring aan hierdie vriende van ons die boodskap van Hoop in Jesus Christus,” sê Fritschen.

B e r n a d i n e Ta n (Singapoer) het bygevoeg dat net 'n gedeelte van die biblioteek aan Christenliteratuur afgestaan word, en dat daar 'n magdom boeke is oor leefstyl, bestuurstyl en ander nie-sekulêre titels. “Ons kon nog nooit ervaar dat mense van verskillende geloofskulture onwelkom by ons gevoel het nie.

Ons respekteer alle kulture en geloofsoortuigings en ons reik uit as vriende van

'n internasionale gemeenskap,” het Tan verduidelik.

Die Logos Hope se loopplanke is nie 'n eenrigtingstraat nie het Lyte Gatchalian (Die Fillipyne) gister verduidelik. Logos Hope se bemanning het ook 'n vol program aan land en dit sluit verrigtinge by talle kusskole en kerke in.

Daar gaan ook 'n magdom oogtoetse gedoen word vir mense wat swak sien.

Die oogtoetse sal beperk wees tot die uitreiking van leesbrille.

“Ons is ook besoekers aan julle mooi land, net soos wat julle besoekers by ons aan boord van Logos Hope is.

Met ons projekte aan land gaan ons 'n kerk help bou op Swakopmund en aan gemeenskappe verskeie vaardighede oordra soos bou, verf, houtwerk en selfs hoe om drinkwater te suiwer”, verduidelik Gatchhalian.

Logos Hope se program is gister by wyse van ‘n mediakonferensie op Walvisbaai bekendgestel

Namib Diesel Squash Social League Sheesh! Only 3 rounds to go and the socials is kaput for 2016. Man is this year flying by or what. Take note that the final round has been shifted from the 22nd to Friday 29th July; make sure you keep that date clear it's going to rock.

Soooo .. looking at the points situation it looks like it's going to be a fight for the number one slot between FCS, Seanam and Gateway Logistics, that's unless nothing untoward happens.

One never knows, so the other teams must hang in there, that gap may just appear and be up for grabs.

The results for the last two rounds are, as follows: Monday, 4th July.

BitStream [0] vs Seawork [6]!

1. Dylan Spencer vs Jaco de Witt 0-3.

Dylan was not feeling a hundred percent, it was great to see him on the court. Nonetheless, Ja-co took full advantage of the situation.

2. Jenny Pahl vs Robert Schaaf 2-3. A nail biter to the end, which could have gone either way. Robert came out tops and took the points.

3. Jaco de Jager vs Trevor Heath 0-3. Hard luck Jaco, it's rough moving up all the time.

4. Jakkie Nel vs Blackie Zwart 0-3. A good effort Jakkie. It must be tough week in and week out, but it can only be doing your squash good.

5. Michail Pretorius vs Patrick Quinn 0-3. It's good to be back, eh Michail.

6.Toya Louw vs Reinette Mentz 1-3. Reinette underestimated Toya's play, but managed to get things back on track after a slight hiccup.

Magic Discounters [1] vs FCS [5] 1. Cecil Humphries vs Imanuel Amorongo 23. Imanuel had to jostle some facts to eventu-ally take a good 5 set-ter.

2. Cabous Olivier vs Leslie Bosman 0-3. Figuratively speaking, Cabous had all the odds stacked against him.

3. Bennie Gabrielsen vs Sharde Fisher 0-3.

4. Shelly Arnold vs Os-car Fernandez 0-3.

5. Luther Mostert vs Floris Steenkamp 3-1.

With a bit of magic on his side, Luther notched up a point for Magic.

6. Jenny Lombard vs Goretti Jansen 0-3. If I am not mistaken it was a retake of last week's match.

Gateway Logistics [5] vs Rent-A-Drum

[1] 1. Angelo Titus vs Jan de Smit 3-2. Angie's wasting no time in trying to be top dog again. A good tough match and a good effort

by Jan. 2. Wynand Brytenbach vs Dirk Bosman 3-2.

Another tough match.. and yes, Wynie has his touch back again.

3. Richard van der Meer vs Raymond Duvenhage 1-3. Raymond is on a mission and ruling the roost at this slot.

4. Chantel de Gouveia vs Bertus Fokkens 3-1.

Chantel is going great guns this year and having no problem playing against the guys. In fact, she's swatting them aside like flies.

5. Poena Olivier vs Sam Webster 3-0.

Poena does not even need to call up the magic when he is playing in this slot.

6. Lindsay Lottering vs Anna Maria Venter 3-0.

Lindz driving the final nail home.

Supatronix [2] vs Seanam [4] 1. Trevor Grane vs Brandon Grane 2-3.

Ha.. The day had to come sometime. You taught him too well, Trev. Well played, Brandon.

2. Ze de Britto vs Sergio Figueiredo 0-3.

No processing was needed. Serge went on the court did what was needed and didn't make a meal out of it.

3. Matthys Robberts vs Craig Hearn 3-1. Full of energy, Matthys zapped Craig.

4. Arlene Visser vs Doyle de Haas 2-3.

Doyle pushed himself and made a meal of it.

5. Bruce Stewart vs Ockie du Plessis 3-1.

Another supa performance by Bruce.

6. Marche-Le Breytenbach vs Zaan de Witt 03. Another rematch.

Fuel Pump Repairs Africa [5] vs Woermann Brock Hardware & Building Supplies [5] 1. Clifford de Witt vs Stefan van Tonder 3-0.

Cliffy applied the gas to makes sure his weakened side takes at least one set.

2. Edwin van Urk vs Danie Jansen 0-3. Mr. nice guy giving Edwin a good work out.

3. Bykes Muashekelr vs Callie Geel 0-3.

4. Ricardo von Stein vs Flippie Scheepers 0-3.

5. Mauricio Rangel vs Kobus Oelofse 0-3.

Mauricio gave Kobus a run for his money.

6. Greer Coppin vs Diana Meyer 0-3. It seems like it was a nice sporting game. th Wednesday, 6 July.

Seawork [1] vs Gateway Logistics [5] 1. Jaco de Witt vs Angelo Titus 1-3. Great respect shown by Angie, just not enough to give Jaco the match.

2. Robert Schaaf vs Wynand Breytenbach 1-3. Agh.. Too much respect from Robert.

Wynand played like a star.

3. Trevor Heath vs Richard van der Meer 2-3. Rich was on the brink of earning Trev's respect, but then he went and blew it.

Played, Dude.

4. Blackie Zwart vs Chantel de Gouveia 03. This girl is on fire.

5. Patrick Quinn vs Poena Olivier 0-3. Not that GL need it, but Poena's a gold mine for them at 5.

6. Reinette Mentz vs Lindsay Lottering 3-0.

There's no two ways about it, Reinette has more than proved her worth for Seawork.

Rent-A-Drum [2] vs FCS [4] 1. Jan de Smit vs Imanuel Amorongo 0-3.

Imanuel made sure he had the perfect equation for the perfect result.

2. Dirk Bosman vs Leslie Bosman 0-3. A short bout of sibling rivalry.

Leslie proving 'wie is baas van die baan' .. heh heh.

3. Raymond Duvenhage vs Sharde Fisher 3-0. Raymond took Sharde to the cleaners with some mean play.

4. Bertus Fokkens vs Oscar Fernandez 3-0.

Bertus played his Agame and dumped Oscar.

5. Sam Webster vs Floris Steenkamp 1-3.

Floris kept a clear head, put the facts together and took a good win.

6. Anna Maria Venter vs Goretti Jansen 0-3.

No negatives for Goretti who played a positive game.

BitStream [2] vs Woermann Brock Hardware & Building Supplies [4] 1. Dylan Spencer vs Stefan van Tonder 2-3.

A nail biting match, which I am sure Stefan is glad went his way.

2. Jenny Pahl vs Danie Jansen 0-3. Danie is

razor sharp and playing like a mean machine this year.

3. Jaco de Jager vs Callie Geel 0-3. .. And so the saga continues.

No doubt Callie did not complain.

4. Jakkie Nel vs Flippie Scheepers 0-3. With a disrupted bitstream Flippie cruised to victory.

5. Luther Mostert vs Kobus Oelofse 3-0.

Super reserve, Luther got the data stream working to great effect which left Kobus dazzled.

6. Toya Louw vs Diana M e y e r 3 - 2 . To y a managed to find that extra byte needed to take Diana down.

Magic Discounters[2] vs Seanam [4] 1. Cecil Humphries vs Brandon Grane 3-2.

Whoa! What a time to pull out the magic and pull off a great win.

2. Cabous Olivier vs Sergio Figueiredo 1-3.

A great win for Serge, but by no means an easy one.

3. Bennie Gabrielsen vs Craig Hearn 1-3.

Craig almost lost the

plot.

4. Ettiene Beukes vs Doyle de Haas 3-1.

Ettiene notching up a good win for MD. 5. Shelly Arnold vs Ockie du Plesses 0-3.

6. Christelle Eiman vs Elsje van der Merwe 13.

That's it for another week. No doubt everyone is eager to see the points standing at the moment, so here goes: FCS – 126 ; Seanam – 111 ; Gateway Logistics – 109 ; Woermann Brock Hardware &

Building Supplies – 93 ; Rent-A-Drum – 92 ; Seawork – 90 ; Supatronix – 69 ; Magic Discounters – 68 ; Fuel Pump Repairs Africa – 60 & BitStream 52.

Wow! Finished just in time to see Portugal become the football Champions of Europe.

The Portugal football supporters must have been over the moon.

Victories for KSS and Kolin Foundation On 8 and 9 July Kuisebmond Secondary School and Kolin Foundation Secondary School won their soccer games against SI Gobs and West Side High School with 1-0 and 5-3 respectively.

Abraham Tjahika scored the only goal, as Kuisebmond Secondary School clinched their FNB Classic Clashes match on Friday afternoon in Omaruru.

SI Gobs rallied desperately to be in the game, but were frustrated by some superb goalkeeping from the visitor's goalie. Helmuth Namaseb of SI Gobs was chosen as Vigo Hero while Denzil Katjimune of Kuisebmond Secondary School was the FNB Classic Clashes man of the match.

In the other game Kolin Foundation stunned West Side High to win the Coastal FNB Classic Clashes in a penalty shoot-out on a very windy Saturday morning at Arandis. The hosts made some good passes, but failed to score and at half time it was still 0-0. Tonla Guriras of Kolin Foundation was crowned Vigo Hero while Piesley Ndumba of West Side was chosen FNB High School Classic Clashes man of the match.

Upcoming games will take place on 15 and 16 July when Coastal High School and Swakopmund Secondary School meet in Mondesa on Friday at 14:00, while De Duine and Namib High School will play a soccer game on the Narraville sports field on 16 July at 10:00.
