Swakopmund municipality Regional Commander calls to monitor air pollution on road users to be vigilant Erwin Leuschner

The Swakopmund municipality monitors air pollution caused by industries and business in town closely of late, doing so by enforcing Ordinance 11 of 1976 (Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Ordinance). Council in its most recent meeting confirmed it would in future closely monitor air pollution levels caused the various industries. The item was discussed at the council meeting after the matter was discussed at the Planning Forum early in March. “Given the propensity lately for development/establishment of industries which produce or emit gases and/or airborne particles which may pollute the air, such as sandblasting, pyro-

lysis, lime processing, etc., it is considered prudent to have the Ordinance promulgated to be applicable to the town lands of the Local Authority of Swakopmund,” it reads. The Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Ordinance 11 of 1976 is a regulatory legal device to provide for the prevention of the pollution of the atmosphere,

and for matters incidental thereto. Subsequent to the above it was decided to submit the ordinance to the Ministry of Environment and Tourism to be promulgated in the Government Gazette as applicable to the municipal area of Swakopmund. It was also decided that the said ordinance be binding to the municipal Continues on Page 2

Kandjoze recognizes challenges in mining sector, lauds Green Building in Swakopmund Erwin Leuschner

Looking back at the past financial year the Ministry of Mines and Energy was faced with various challenges in the Erongo region. Despite, there were some positive developments. This was said by Minister Obeth Kandjoze when he presented his budget speech for the financial year 2017/18 in the National Assembly recently. While Kandjoze reviewed the past financial year he mentioned on a positive note of the first yellow cake that was produced at the Husab uranium mine towards the end of 2016. “Having said that, the uranium sector still experiences profound market challenges. These challenges resulted in for example the Langer Heinrich Mine curtailing mining operations as well as retrenching a part of its workforce,” said the Minister. Kandjoze hailed the completion of the Ministry of Mines and Energy’s Green Building in Swakopmund and described it as one of the highlights of the past financial year. The purpose of this newly completed building is to bring our services closer to the people. “The initiative of the Green Building is to encourage other institutions to similarly invest in sustainable energy solutions”, he said. According to the minister the building contains several sustainable features, ranging from solar

panels to wind turbines, harnessing the sun and wind to produce its own energy. Excess energy is relayed into the electricity grid. “In addition, the building is harvesting water to be used for gardening and other functions where the water is not used for human consumption. The Green Building is located between the new office of the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology and the Office of the President. It is centrally located on the doorstep of most of Swakopmund’s suburbs. The building was completed more than a year ago, but the official opening is yet to take place. Speaking about income generated by the Ministry of Mines and Energy in the past financial year, Kandjoze remarked N$25 billion came from export levies on mined materials, whilst N$1.4 billion was collected in mining royalties. “That despite the cyclical nature of the minerals industry and some declining commodity prices, coupled with increasing market

Regional Commander calls on road users to be vigilant Continued from Page 1 he said. “Drivers must be cautious and adhere to the traffic rules to save their own lives and those of other road users.” He added that the police force will “be out there this weekend” to enforce the law. “Everybody travelling towards the coast is welcome, provided they adhere to the law,” he said. Nelumbu's cautionary message to road users comes in the wake of yet another traffic accident that took place yesterday in the vicinity of Long Beach on the B2 highway. It is alleged that the driver of a pick-up lost control over the vehicle (photo). It crashed through the cable barrier and overturned. Fortunately only minor injuries were reported, reports the West Coast Safety Initiative.

area. “Though this may be considered as the only area within which the Local Authority may impose its control, one should consider that operations/processes outside the area, such as open pit mining especially uranium mining, may result in air pollution, which may impact the municipal area,” it states. These areas will, however, be subjected to environmental clearance applications, which will allow the municipality as an affected party to respond applicably.

Apostle Dawid Bronzel (37) who is known for carrying a wooden cross covered in bible verses and scriptures calls upon believers in Christ to join him on Friday to walk with him from Swakopmund to Walvis Bay. “It is in honour of the Lord who died for our sins”, he explains. “I want to remind people that Jesus died for our sins. He was arrested, tried and sentenced to be scourged and finally crucified on the cross because of our sins. I just want to encourage people to come on Good Friday and make a decision of getting closer to the Lord. Make that a day personal with God”, said Bronzel. He continued saying that he would like to remind people that Easter encourages people to remember that Jesus paid a price, with His life for our sins to be forgiven. He further said he wants to encourage believers to stand together and support one another on that day, in order to grow the name of the Lord and to praise and worship the Lord. That's what the Lord wants the most. Those who are willing to walk with him while praising the name of the Lord on Easter Friday are most welcome. Bronzel said he will have a companion who already called him and wants to walk with him while carrying his own cross. “I am not expecting people who want to join the walk to carry a cross. I just want us to walk together and praise the name of the Lord together until Walvis Bay. So far I have not planned anything for when we get to Walvis Bay. It is just walking together in the name of the Lord and after the walk the people can return to their homes” Bronzel concluded. Those willing to join Bronzel can contact him on 081 437 1608.

One of Namibia's most celebrated photographers, Tony Figueira, passed away during the early hours of yesterday. He leaves behind his wife Gabi. Figueira, who was born in Angola, owned the design studio Studio 77. Figueira studied journalism at Rhodes University in South Africa. He worked for several radio stations including the Voice of America, and for anti-apartheid newspapers like The Rand Daily Mail. He became known for documenting key moments in contemporary Southern African history. He suffered from Multiple myeloma, a type of cancer. The National Art Gallery of Namibia in 2015 ran an exhibition to support him, titled: For Tony.

volatility,” he said. During his speech Kandjoze also presented a budget, amounting to N$207.9 million for the new financial year. A significant amount of this has been earmarked to improve energy supply in the country (N$61.6 million) as well as studies understanding the countries geological resources better (N$52.4 million). Kandjoze noted that the Kudu Gas to Power and the Baynes Hydro Power projects still remain strategic future projects for the country to contribute towards achieving security of electricity supply. Currently Namibia is importing about 200 Megawatt from ESKOM (South Africa), 39 Megawatt from ZESCO (Zambia) and 80 Megawatt from ZPC (Zimbabwe). “Recently Namcor and BW Offshore concluded a partnership for the development of the Kudu Gas Field. Commercial agreements will be finalized by the end of 2017,” He said. Additionally he said that the Namibian and Angolan governments are committed to finalize projec preparations for the development of the Baynes Hydro Power project.

Taking A Bow EBH Namibia successfully completes leading-edge bulbous bow project When a vessel such as an oil product tanker needs to be repaired, the time taken by the shipyard to complete the project is critical, as every day that it is out of commission could potentially result in substantial lost revenue. Walvis Bay-based Elgin Brown & Hamer Namibia (EBHN), the preferred ship repairer on the West Coast of Africa, is very well aware of this. When the owners of oil product tanker, the Huascar – with a collisiondamaged bulbous bow - approached EBHN, the company devised an innovative, fast and cost-effective repair strategy which would minimise the tanker's time out of service. The vessel owners sent an initial enquiry to EBHN in June 2016, and EBHN, in turn, submitted a preliminary proposal. “However, subsequent information received indicated that the damage was more extensive than we had initially expected,” says Willie Esterhuyse, Commercial and Marketing Manager at EBH Namibia. A site inspection, coinciding with the tanker's trading patterns between Togo and Nigeria, was then proposed and undertaken in September 2016; for which EBHN sought the assistance of highly-skilled naval architects, 6Sigma. “The challenge we faced was that the bow section of the Huascar was constructed of double curved plating. To remove this first and then repair it would have been very time-consuming; and therefore could have cost the owners a significant sum in lost charter fees. In keeping with EBHN's dedication to the very highest standards of client satisfaction, we came up with a superior option,” he adds. The EBHN project team therefore devised a 'total solution' repair strategy; which would not only save the vessel owners significantly financially, but also in terms of operational time. “This option featured a reduced project repair time of just 20 days; and an approximately ten percent reduction in the overall cost of the repairs,” explains Esterhuyse. “This repair strategy was to pre-fabricate the bulbous bow completely before the vessel was dry-docked. With the new section complete and ready for fitting, the Huascar could then be docked at our Namdock 3 Panamax-sized dock, and the damaged bow swopped out for the newly fabricated bow,” he adds. However, the data gathered from the first site inspection was not sufficiently detailed to allow EBHN to fabricate the new bow section with an acceptable level of confidence. Working with 6Sigma, the original off-set tables of the Huascar were sourced from the original shipbuilders in Japan. From these, 6Sigma was able to develop three dimensional (3D) and fabrication drawings. In November 2016, the owners accepted the proposal allowing EBHN sufficient time to immediately start

sourcing materials and to commence with fabrication. At EBHN's well-equipped fabrication facility, teams quickly swung into action, with skilled and semi-skilled boilermakers, burners and welders working in day and night shifts running continuously in order to meet the stringent project completion deadline. “CNC cutting, assembly, welding and quality control were all done in-house at the EBHN fabrication facility, supervised by 2 master boilermakers. The only aspect of the project not able to be completed in-house was the fabrication of the double curved plating, which we outsourced and then had freighted back to Namibia,” Esterhuyse comments. He adds that the completed replacement bulbous bow was then transported on a flatbed vehicle from the fabrication facility to the vessel, which had in the meantime docked at Namdock 3. “At an overall length of 176 m, breadth of 32.2m and weighing 25 060 tons, the Huascar is the widest and heaviest vessel ever lifted by EBHN; and our Namdock 3 Panamax-sized dock really came into its own in accommodating this vessel,” he points out. EBHN's rigging team furthermore did an excellent job in ensuring the safe dismounting of the damaged bow; as well as the safe and very precise positioning and installation of the new bow. With welding of the new bow in place complete, the new section was then prepared for corrosion-coating and painting accordingly. “We are delighted that the client was extremely pleased with the innovative, fast, cost-effective service that EBH Namibia's fabrication, propulsion and mechanical teams delivered,” comments Hannes Uys, CEO of EBH Namibia. “It was a privilege to be able to be of service to them, and to restore the bow of the Huascar to its former glory. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to our project management and repair team, as it is this type of client-centric service that continues to fly EBH Namibia's flag high as the shipyard of choice on the coast of West Africa,” Uys concludes. Note to Editors EBH Namibia EBH Namibia, an established ship repair company strategically located on the west coast of Africa in Walvis Bay, Namibia, provides a holistic service solution in all aspects of marine engineering and ship repair to the local and international shipping and offshore industry.

Press Statement from the Rossmund Rebels On 4 November 2016, a Swakopmund magistrate ruled that the Rossmund Golf Estate Home Owners Association (RGEHOA) has to approach the High Court of Namibia in order to rectify Notarial Bonds of Imposition that was registered against title deeds of properties at Rossmund using a non-existent section 21 Company registration number. Should they be successful in their application to get rectification could they return to the magistrate's court in their pursuing a claim for unpaid levies by disgruntled residents of Rossmund. To date, some 5 months have passed and no attempt to approach the High court has been made. It has come to our attention now that the RGEHOA is now targeting individuals verbally, informing them that by handing in their title deeds and other documents, their faulty Notarial Bonds would be rectified free of charge by the lawyers that created this mess. We strongly advise residents of Rossmund that anyone approached to do this, not conform with this request. It is just another manipulation to bypass a court ruling. On 3 Feb 2017 Advocate Richard Metcalfe sent a letter to the RGEHOA, spelling out our settlement proposals. This has not been communicated to Rossmund residents. For this reason, we are now publishing the letter so that all residents are duly informed. Rossmund residents will note that these proposals differ markedly from what was stated in the e-mailed communication of 31 Jan 2017 by the RGEHOA. The Directors of the RGEHOA continue to mislead Rossmund residents into believing that they live in a golf estate. They are collecting levies on that basis and this is in total disregard of the court ruling that they first have to attend to rectification before financial claims can be entertained. We strongly advise all Rossmund residents to not pay any levies with immediate effect. The non-existent Section 21 Company is a company of limited liability. It will therefore be impossible to claim back any payments made to them. There is an option open though to hold the Directors and the Developer accountable. This will however be a protracted and expensive exercise. Not paying until legal issues are resolved is the easiest and most sensible thing to do. Justice4Rossmund

Commuters should not use taxis without a number Sharlien Tjambari

Commuters in Swakopmund are advised for their own safety not to make use of taxis which are not marked with an identification number. This was said at a public meeting held last Thursday by the Swakopmund Traffic Department with taxi owners and drivers. The meeting took place at Meduletu Community Hall in Mondesa. According to Traffic Officer Bennet Stanley Kheibeb from the Municipal Traffic Service of Swakopmund, the reason the meeting was due to the department experiencing some challenges when it comes to the operations of taxis in town. “There are some issues we highlighted during the meeting that are getting out of hand,” he said to namib times. Over 200 registered taxi drivers and taxi owners, and even owners of unregistered vehicles without permits, attended the meeting. It was described as a very successful and well attended meeting. The first issue discussed involved unlicensed drivers that receive vehicles by permit holders or by drivers that are employed by the permit holders. The second challenge being the responsibilities of taxi owners registered as operators on the latest system. They have the responsibility to make sure that their operations take place within the law. “We have picked up that some of the owners are not aware of their responsibilities,” Kheibeb said. Traffic department informed the drivers and owners that they have temporarily stopped the numbering system. The department realised that there is a duplication of numbers as some of the vehicles were either sold and the permit was moved to another vehicle. “They come and apply for a new number while on our system that permit is already in existence,” he said. “We have also noticed that one permit is operating over ten vehicles while it is only supposed to operate one vehicle,” Kheibeb added. The meeting also looked into the operations at taxi ranks. Kheibeb was given permission by the Swakopmund Council to be in charge of the Mondesa taxi rank. Since he took over a queuing system at the Walvis Bay and Windhoek pick up points was introduced. The queuing system for the far north busses will be implemented soon. “We actually

want a first-come-first-serve system. The vehicle standing in front should be the first vehicle to load to avoid the grabbing of customers' bags,” he said. Another point on the agenda was the loading of private vehicles at the truck port. We have advised taxi drivers to ask passengers the reason why they want to be dropped off at the truck port. If the reason being that they are looking for a ride to Windhoek or wherever, the taxi drivers advise them to rather get a ride at the taxi rank,” he continued. Drivers were also advised that their appearance should be presentable and that taxis should be kept clean. “They were told to serve as guides for travellers because a lot of people will be coming down to the coast this Easter Weekend and will be need their services. Taxi drivers should not play loud music so that they can communicate effectively with their customers. Most of the customers visiting Swakopmund do not know the town,” he said. Another issue discussed was the manner taxi drivers pick-up and drop-off commuters in the CBD area. Drivers complained that the amount of drop-off zones are not sufficient. “We agreed on that matter because the number of taxis currently on our system is over 500. If you look at that number of taxis and the space in town, it is clear that Swakopmund has a challenge of limited parking spaces, whether it is for private or public transport,” he said; and added: “We have requested taxis to stop, drop-off their clients and drive off again, but they sometimes stand there and start cleaning their taxis.” The traffic official continued saying that there are certain taxi owners renting out their permits. They were informed during the meeting that, if the owner of the permit passes away, the family can claim the vehicle as stipulated in the registration. “When you are registered as an operator you need to take

New truck port on the cards for Karibib Erwin Leuschner Coastal residents travelling to the inland might soon fuel up their vehicles at a new fuel station and retail facility in Karibib. The new development by B2 Truck Stop & Chalets Valley CC is planned across the mobile police road block in Karibib along B2 road and will include a truck port. The development was recently made public by Matrix Consulting Services, an independent consultant, who has been appointed to undertake the required Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the proposed construction and operation of the fuel retail facility. The facility is envisaged to be a truck port able to accommodate heavy-duty transport tankers, as there are no fuel retail facilities that can accommodate trucks in the vicinity of Karibib and Usakos. In a detailed Background Information Document (BID) by Matrix the proposed installation will consist of three underground storage tanks: each tank measures 46 cubic meters and is intended for the storage of Unleaded Petrol (ULP) as well as Diesel (50 ppm and 500ppm). The tanks will be installed with suitable associated reticulation pipelines and dispensing points. A pump island and canopies will also be constructed and installed at the facility. During construction phase the following activities will take place on site: excavation for the pipeline trenches; the transport and installation of the storage tanks and relevant material; installation of fuel pipelines; construction of dispensing pump islands and installation of the pumps; construction of spill control measures and; installation of associated electrical supply. The development will of course only materialize if the environmental assessment complies with the Environmental Assessment Policy, the Environmental Management Act and the requirements of the Ministry of Mines and Energy. The scope of the EIA is to determine the potential environmental impacts emanating from the construction and operation of the proposed fuel facility. The report aims to identify and address potential environmental impacts and associated social impacts.

Lauiza Clara I said the road is evil a lot of people lost their lives on that same road,,,there are thousands of road but 99% of accidents only happen there WHY?? COS ITS AN EVIL ROAD!!!

Olivier-truck driver faces charge of culpable homicide The Walvis Bay police confirmed yesterday that the driver of the truck that caused the fatal accident in March in which Walvis Bay businesswoman Mrs Connie Olivier was killed, is investigated for culpable homicide. The docket will be submitted to the ProsecutorGeneral to consider the merits whether he would be criminally charged, it was explained. Since another fatal accident on Thursday evening on the B2 coastal road near Vierkantklip, the public again asks critical questions as to why trucks cannot be permanently re-routed to use the MR44 behind the dune belt. The accident on Thursday night was almost to the hour three weeks after the accident in which Olivier was killed. Narina Dekker Vir die trokke om gebruik te maak van die MR44 pad, sal daar geen probleem wees nie, maar dan moet die karre verbied word om daai pad te ry. Dit help nie om die trokke van die B2 roete te verwyder, maar die karre maak gebruik van die MR44 roete nie. Dieselfde ongeluk wat op die B2 roete plaasvind kan ook op die MR44 pad plaas vind tussen ñ kar en ñ lorrie, en ek weet nie of almal bewus is dat daar vir ñ groot deel van die MR44 roete baie swak sein is nie. Hoe gemaak as daar ñ ernstige ongeluk tussen ñ kar en ñ lorrie op daai roete plaasvind en daar is nie sein vir nood oproepe of aankomende verkeer wat hulp kan bied nie. Dan sal die trok drywers ook skuldig gehou word. Motoriste kan baie waaghalsig wees, en baie sien kans vir groot trokke. Dit maak in my opinie nie saak watse pad die vragmotors ry nie solank as wat daar karre op daai pad loop sal die vragmotors die skuldiges wees, want almal die motor bestuurders is onskuldig. Rina Liebenberg As trokke sulke kanse vat is daar geen kans vir oorlewing. En aangesien die Swk/W/bay pad verskriklik besig is, is daar nie plek vir motors en trokke nie en kan motor bestuurder of Trok drywers nie arrogant ook nog op ons paaie wees nie! Mense sit op hul Selfoon terwyl hul ry of self verbysteek en ry oor dubbellynne asof daar nie so n padreel is nie. Gister het n Windhoeker my tussen die palmbome soos jy W/bay uitry my en n vragmotor verby gegaan. En my nog middelvinger gewys toe ek vir hom hoeter druk. Dis die arrogansie wat doodmaak! Ewert Ewert Because the fatalities do not effect them RA directly which means its not their problem. Same with all G-institutes. If its not the controlling authorities problem. They don't do anything about it. Same with poverty! Nobody cares. Alan Meyer Haal alle trokke bo 10000 kg af van die pad voor sononder tot na sonop. En die Beamptes moet asseblief die nodige opleiding kry om die trokke te toets vir padvaardigheid op die paaie ligte wat nie werk nie ek wonder ook hoeveel

van die beamptes en drywers weet hoe werk trailer brieke en hoe toets hulle dit ??? Alan Meyer Mnr jy is reg want die hele transport bedryf is n klug ek wens hulle wil dit wet maak dat daar waar die spoor loop mag daar nie trokke loop en daar waar julle moet loop moet daar tolhekke opgesit word dat hulle betaal vir die skade wat hulle aan die paai maak Milly Izaacs Ek ry ook elke dag die pad tussen Walvis en Swakop.

Another fatal collision involving a truck on B2 One person died on Thursday evening (6 April) during yet another accident involving a truck on the B2 coastal road. The accident occurred at Vierkantklip between Swakopmund and Walvis Bay. The accident almost to the hour occurred three weeks after wellknown Walvis Bay businesswoman Connie Olivier was killed when her vehicle slammed into a truck on the B2 near Walvis Bay. According to Deputy Commissioner Erastus Iikuyu of the Namibian Police at Walvis Bay the truck with registration number N143-540W, registered to Namib Mills was travelling towards Walvis Bay from Swakopmund. The driver, R H Ratjamá (35) was the only occupant. At about 22:00 the truck collided head-on with an oncoming Isuzu double cab pick-up (N30318W) in the vicinity of Vierkantklip a few kilometers south of Swakopmund. Aletha Du Plessis ?????

Erongo Marine Enterprises hands over N$210 000 towards hostel repair Erongo Marine Enterprises handed over a cheque of N$210 000 to the Office of the Erongo Regional Governor recently on Friday, the money to be used for the repair and maintenance of several Swakopmund school hostels. Erongo Marine Enterprises pledged the money during the Namibian Newspaper Cup fundraising dinner that was hosted by the Office of the Governor. According to the Managing Director of Erongo Marine Enterprises, Dr Martha Uumati, the money is specifically earmarked for the school hostels in Swakopmund: “so at the gala dinner when we heard about the schools and saw the presentation on the schools, we decided that this is an opportunity to actually invest and to give back.

The Swakopmund Residents Association committee is formed from a group of elected, concerned and involved residents, who care about this special town of ours. We meet once a month and at these meetings we discuss matters of concern and letters, which have been written to us by Swakopmunders. We decide what course of action to take. Letters are written, phone calls are made and we do our best to help with all solvable problems. Our Chairman, Councillor Wilfried Groenewald attends all municipal meetings, and is involved in any major decision making which affects our town. Sadly, he stands alone as our representative because not enough Swakopmunders vote at the municipality elections to bring in a second councillor for the Residents Association. Are you a member of the Association? Did you vote at the last election? Poor Swakopmund has had some swelteringly hot days and our beaches and sea were a godsend to many. We complain so often about the cold, but heat such as that catches us totally unprepared. Winter is not that far away so when the cold days come, remember those hot days and be comforted! The Strand Hotel is a popular venue these days and it is frustrating to those who live to the north of the town centre to have to travel all the way into town, and then through town and down to the beach to reach the hotel, when a simple solution to access is available. The small one-way slip road that leads past the museum into the parking lot for the Mole could easily be widened to give access both ways. It is such a useful short-cut, but it should offer easement for both directions. And when, we wonder, will the new development on the old swimming pool premises ever be built? This area has been an eyesore for much too long and we look for some type of control or direction to come from the municipality on this matter. Another eyesore is the parking lot around the Dome...... such a dominant and smart building but our cars have to bump over rutted ground and be covered in dust to park there. It is simply not good enough. In addition, the roadside kerbing on the paved road below the dome, Welwitschia Drive, is also in disrepair and this area generally needs a lot of attention. Last month we pointed out that the sea wall around the Mole also needs serious attention as it is undercut and crumbling away in some areas – this cannot be ignored for too long. There is no doubt that the shopping centre - ' Platz am Meer' is not busy enough these days. Restaurants are mostly empty, corridors are thinly populated and one wonders what the businesses, which are paying very high rentals are thinking about their future. Checkers and DisChem are busy, and Woolworths is popular, although its shelves are too often empty in the food section, so some businesses might be paying their way, but certainly not all. Give a thought to the state of our government hostels. We were shocked to read that the once proud Hofmeyer Hostel, which serves Namib Primary is unfit for habitation and word has it that the two hostels, which once belonged to Namib High School are also in disrepair, with no hot water on the ground floor, leaking roofs and missing ceilings. Westside School is in disrepair as is Atlantic School and no doubt all the remaining schools have their problems. When will the Namibian people realize that the cost of free education has a price, which cannot be measured? How foolish are we as a society to think that any service – especially education – does not need a strong financial backing to operate efficiently? Whilst on the topic of schools – the school in Vineta, Swakopmund Primary School, has hectares of open, unused land within its walls, but their learners stand outside on the street for collection by parents and taxis, causing traffic hazards and safety problems with children running across the street. This could so easily be controlled and regulated, but there is no sign of any discipline from the staff or headmaster in this area at all. And poor Namib Primary School continues to look unkempt and neglected along its once attractive front too...it is simply a lack of will and motivation to uplift the appearance of this school and this from parents, the staff and the headmaster. Regarding motivation, Swakopmund can be proud of many of our strong organisations. We have a very good SPCA thanks to the good work of the committee and its supporters; we have the Lions Retirement Complex and Frail Care, which hold a high reputation. CHAIN looks after disabled children and we also have the 'Feed a Paw' Project, which feeds and helps starving strays. There is a group of ladies who feed and care for our feral cats and surely there are many more small groups doing great work. Our churches do their best to help and feed the needy too. Swakopmunders, please be generous if you can. Look after these organisations and recognize the time and effort that individuals put into them. Make kind donations and perhaps go the extra mile and remember them in your will. So many of us have so much. “If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.“ said Mother Teresa, and on another occasion: “We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.” Easter is upon us. Take care on the roads, and keep safe. There have been some frightening incidents recently and we need to be on guard. Do you have the number of Neighbourhood Watch easily available? - (085999). This is yet another wonderful organization, which needs our support. Volunteer to serve with them or donate – this is our town and we need to be involved. Our Annual General Meeting will take place on Wednesday, 10th May 2017 at 19h00 at the Museum Hall. Please make a point of attending and contributing to the deliberations. To join the SRA all you need to be is a resident of Swakopmund, not necessarily a homeowner. Subscription is N$50 per member. The meeting is public, non-members are welcome to attend. We need young blood on the committee and hope candidates will make themselves available.

GroupSave lends a helping hand BANK WINDHOEK - MEDIA RELEASE In times of economic uncertainty, it is always comforting to know that you can depend on friends and family to assist you. That was the common message from Bank Windhoek's GroupSave competition which ran from December 2016 to February 2017. The competition was themed: “Live the moments, share the memories.” Six GroupSave accounts each won N$5 000 that was deposited into their accounts to assist in its growth. “We were actually university friends that lost touch with each other. We then found each other on Facebook and decided to do something extra for each other this year by opening a GroupSave account at Bank Windhoek. The purpose of our account is to help, empower and mutually support each other in times of need and to celebrate birthdays and special occasions,” said Mietha Jacobs from The Class of 90-GroupSave account. Fredrika Martin, one of the signatories of the Ndina GroupSave account from Walvis Bay said that their main purpose of saving as a team was to provide for their future needs and unforeseen change in circumstances. “We are very happy with the results and savings we have made so far,” Fredrika said in an interview. “We have a big family and we need to help each

other in times of financial difficulties,” said Naftali Ngwediva from the Mukwhepo Family GroupSave Account in Rundu. By saving together as one we help each other when the need arises. “These are just some of the success stories of Bank Windhoek's GroupSave account that has made a significant impact on how friends and family can save as a group,” said Chris Matthee, Executive Officer: Retail Banking Services at Bank Windhoek. We congratulate all the winners of our GroupSave competition. These loyal Bank Windhoek customers truly show how team work leads to positive results when it comes to saving for your future,” Matthee said. “Nothing beats teamwork. Research has shown that when a team works together as a unit they are able to accomplish more than the individual members can do alone. Teamwork creates higher quality outcomes that are more efficient, thoughtful, effective, as well as faster. Individuals benefit from teamwork through mutual support and a great sense of accomplishment. “Just like working in a team, Bank Windhoek also gives its customers the opportunity to save as a group with our GroupSave account,” Matthee concluded.

NAMIB TIMES 13

13 APRIL 2017

Monthly Monitor: March 2017 On Friday 31 March the South African (SA) President Zuma fired the Finance Minister Gordhan and his deputy Minister. He also either fired or reshuffled a large number of Ministers and deputyMinisters. He appointed a very loyal supporter, Malusi Gigaba, as his new Treasury Minister. There was a huge political backlash as seniors in the ANC, Ministers in his own Cabinet, Members of Parliament from all political parties, as well as Analysts / Economists rose up in opposition against these moves. Many protest marches are planned for the major centres in SA over the following weeks. By Monday 3 April SA's foreign debt was downgraded by the S & P Global Ratings Agency to sub-investment. Fitch Ratings followed by downgrading SA's foreign- and local-currency bonds to junk status on Friday 7 April. What does this mean? It appears Zuma has enough political backing to change his cabinet to further his agenda and the agenda of the Zuma- ANC. Gordhan had to go because he stood in the way of many of their business and banking transactions, including those of the Gupta's and the Russian nuclear deal. It is difficult to say how much influence the Gupta's have on Zuma and his family. However, they aim to obtain a banking licence in SA. With Treasury under control, pressure can now be brought on the SA Reserve Bank (SARB) and on the judiciary system (through the nomination and selection of judges by Zuma) to bend to their wishes. It is also not clear how much geo-political influence the Russians have on Zuma and his cohorts and if this is to increase the Russian anti-Western vote and weaken Western access to African energy and other resources. Whatever the case may be, this is a test of the democratic institutions of SA. What happens from here depends on an intricate play of actions and reactions by the NEC, the ANC, the cabinet of Ministers, the members of parliament, the Treasury, the SARB, the judiciary, the business community, civil society, foreign rating agencies, foreign investors, Zuma, his advisers and his unseen influencers. What are the implications? Markets changed as follows: The SA Rand depreciated by 8%, from an opening of R12.42 to the US Dollar on 27 March (when Zuma recalled Gordhan from the UK), to end the month at R13.42. Bonds sold off and yields spiked upwards (prices went down), local listed property declined and local banking shares took a hit. Dual-listed and other company shares that have a foreign exposure rose in prices. Over the week the All Share Index, which has a large foreign exposure, increased by 0.5%. Junk status means foreigners will sell SA Government bonds, putting more pressure on bond yields (up) and listed property prices (down). It will also make funding of the Budget deficit more difficult, and the servicing of the foreign debt more expensive as a higher interest rate will have to be paid. SA was on a recovery path with strong global tailwinds from a synchronised growing world, capital inflows, a stable currency, slowing inflation and recovering company earnings. SARB may even have lowered short-term interest rates towards the end of 2017. Now the picture is volatile: The reverse of the above is a sharply weaker currency, capital outflows, a larger budget deficit, higher bond yields, rising inflation and eventually, higher short-term rates. This will increase the cost of debt and lower the disposable income of indebted persons. The same holds for Namibia. Against this negative backdrop we look back at asset class returns as at the end of March 2017:

Portfolio Performance: Although markets can be volatile over shorter periods, like a month, they become more predictable given enough time. Table 2 shows the 1-year, 3-year (average per annum) and 5-year (average per annum) returns ending March 2017 of our five managed portfolios. The returns are calculated based on gross internal rates of return (IRR's) from actual client data: Table 2: Portfolio Returns over a 12-Month, 36-Month and 60-Month Period:

Source: Actual Client IRR's off Sanport Asset class returns for the month of March did not help the 1-year returns much, but our longer-term returns have stood up well in tough market conditions. Everything changed from 27 March onwards. Since that date our portfolios have made money because they were positioned for a weak SA Rand. Conclusion: We cannot say how the politics will play out. That is uncertain. However, we can draw on decades of investment data and experience to say with high probability: · Have a diversified portfolio. · Have enough growth assets in your portfolio to beat inflation. · Do not draw too high an income. · Do not panic. Stick to your long-term financial plan. Please contact me if you want to discuss these issues further.

Table 1: Asset Class Returns (in N$ terms):

Source: Glacier Research Bonds and property have done relatively well up to 27 March, on the back of capital inflows and a strengthening Rand. Shares have been under pressure and foreign assets had the massive headwind of an appreciating Rand (for example, the price of foreign shares increased by 12% over the last year but it had to battle against a strengthening Rand). These trends could reverse quickly in the opposite direction. In a very short time foreign assets could become the star performing asset class passing all the others, as the SA Rand weakens over time. What are we doing? We were positioned for an improving SA (1 to 2-year view) and a strong currency (short-term view) that will weaken later on. This means we were overweight local property, neutral local shares and slightly overweight foreign assets. After Zuma's “Night of the Long Knives” we changed our position. We rebalanced our portfolios to lower our property exposures, maintain our local share exposures and to increase our foreign asset exposure. We decreased our pure equity funds to lower our risks, and increased our multi-asset funds to lower our risks even further. Multi-asset funds such as the Sanlam Namibia Inflation Linked Fund also has the advantage of moving fast if necessary. They further have the ability to put protection strategies such as hedges on currency, share and interest rate exposures to lower volatility and risk for the client.

LLiebe Küstenleser! Im Namib-Restaurant beobachte ich ein älteres Paar, das glücklich und verliebt aussieht. Bei näherem Hinsehen erkenne ich in der Frau die 74jährige Gisela Meyer-Ohlendorf (Mo) aus Swakopmund. Ich begrüße sie, und ihr Begleiter stellt sich als Rolf Lengemann aus Deutschland vor. Herr Lengemann kann es sich aus purer Freude nicht verkneifen zu erwähnen, dass er Mo auf eine wundersame Weise nach 50 Jahren wieder getroffen hat und demnächst geheiratet wird. Endlich wieder eine schöne Geschichte zwischen all den skiet, skop en donder-Berichten, die normalerweise die Zeitungen dominieren. Wir verabreden uns zum Gespräch. Es war im Jahre 1966 in Hamburg, als die beiden sich über den Weg liefen. Rolf studierte Maschinenbau, und Mo wurde zur DiätAssistentin ausgebildet. Sie trafen sich häufig, und ein reger Briefwechsel entstand. Als Mo sich dann aber doch für den anderen Freier, der sie umwarb, entschied, schrieb sie an Rolf: ,,Schade, dass man nicht zwei Menschen lieben darf.”

Worte der Woche 1. “Eine verliebte Person ist immer minderjährig.” 2. “'s Herz ist wie der Magen - wenn man lang nicht geliebt hat, so is es grad, als wie wenn man lang nix g'essen hat, man ist bald mit was zufrieden.” “A Madl darf gar ka Luft haben, in der Luft werden s' zu lüftig, eing'sperrt halten sie sich am besten, das hat mir a Türk' g'sagt, der Deutsch können hat. ” “Alle sieben Jahr' ändert sich der Mensch, drum ist es möglich, daß ich aufs Jahr wieder dumm werd'!, aber heuer noch nicht. “ Alle Zitate stammen von dem Schauspieler Johann Nepomuk Nestroy (1801 in Wien 1862 in Graz).

Hören Sie einige Kapitel aus dem Locker-vom-HockerSammelsurium, etwas Gitarrenmusik und ein paar Gedichte.

Wann: 23. April 2017 um 16h00 Uhr Wo: Woermannhaus-Galerie in der Bismarckstraße

Die Bücher gibt es dort zum Sonderpreis.

Jeder ging dann seiner Wege. Rolf studierte in Berlin und Stuttgart und arbeitete in Koblenz, Worms, Greven, Mainz, Schwalbach und London. Er bereiste berufsmäßig viele Länder der Erde, heiratete Madeleine, wurde stolzer Papa von vier Kindern und erfreut sich heute außerdem an 10 Enkelkindern. Dann wurde seine Frau schwer depressiv und verstarb 2014 im Alter von 66. Mo kam 1968 nach Windhoek, wo sie zu Anfang als Diät-Assistentin im Katholischen Krankenhaus tätig war, dann in das

und schöne Erinnerungen wurden wach... Nun folgte eins aufs andere. Rolf suchte im Internet nach Mo und fand sie auch auf der Website der Stadtmission Swakopmund. Dank der Tatsache, dass Mo nie geheiratet hatte und als Gisela Meyer-Ohlendorf bei der Stadtmission erwähnt wurde, war es für Rolf eine Leichtigkeit, sie ausfindig zu machen. Er schrieb also einen Brief an Mo und schickte ihn an Martin Frische, den damaligen Pastor der Stadtmission Swakopmund. In den Umschlag legte er wohl-

Da Mo inzwischen Christin geworden war, gab es keine wilde

Ehe, und somit wurde hakkahanna ein goldgelb glänzender Ehering beim Juwelier gehämmert. Einen lustigen Zwischenfall gab es bei der standesamtlichen Trauung in Swakopmund, als Mo einen goldfarbenen Knopf ihrer Kostümjacke verlor. Bei der kirchlichen Trauung am 8.

Rolf ist ausnahmsweise sprachlos vor Glück. Ihre tatsächlich zu Tränen gerührte Susann Kinghorn

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste Wiener Opernsängerinnen Hour of Music: ein unterstützen Autismus bezauberndes Konzert

Die Leiterin der Strings Attached Christa Lambrechts (links) mit Christine du Toit und Oliver Kittel. Fotos: Urte Remmert Swakopmund Wieder einmal präsentierte die Namib High School das Können Swakopmunder Musiker. Der Sonntag Nachmittag wurde zum musikalischen Erlebnis mit Melodien aus Barock, Klassik bis zum Jazz, mit bekannten Songs bis zu den mitreißenden und einmaligen Darbietungen des

Mascato Coastal Youth Choirs unter der Leitung von Theo Cookson. Die glockenreine Stimme von Janice van Rooy begeisterte das Publikum ebenso wie das gekonnte Spiel auf der Violine von Oliver Kittel. Die Strings Attached mit der Leiterin Christa Lambrecht boten ein filigran anmutendes

Ian Hooks am Saxophon

Konzert von Mancini. Mit erstaunlicher Kreativität spielte der 12jährige Ian Hooks mit dem bekannten Jo Humpsch (Sax) ein Saxophon-Duo - begleitet von Christiane Ast am Klavier. Swakopmunder Musikliebhaber dürfen sich schon auf die 'Hour of Music' im nächsten Jahr freuen! Urte Remmert

Swakopmund (sk) Am Ostersonntag, den 16. April, findet im Haus der Jugend um 19h00 Uhr ein Benefizkonzert zugunsten der Organisation Autismus Namibia und des Stepping StoneProjektes statt. Letzteres ist ein Kindergarten, der inzwischen auch autistische Kleinkinder aufnimmt und liebevoll auf die Schule vorbereitet. Die Küstenbewohner dürfen sich auf die zwei österreichischen Opernsängerinnen Frolieb Tomsitz-Stollwerck (Sopran) und Sabine Kogler (Mezzosopran) freuen. Begleitet werden die beiden Musikerinnen aus Wien von der Pianistin Ruzanna Manukyan, die ursprünglich aus Armenien stammt, inzwischen jedoch am College of the Arts in Windhoek Klavierunterrricht erteilt.

Jana Louw (links) und Katrin Tietz, Mitglieder der Strings Attached, an der Violine.

Haltet unsere Küste sauber!

Janice van Rooy sang mit klarer Stimme.

Frohe Oster, liebe Leser!

Kennen Sie das Gefühl der Hemmung, wenn ein anderer dabei ist? Melden Sie sich bei Susann Kinghorn; Tel. 405183 oder 08125388590; E-Mail: susannkinghorn @gmail.com

Auch wird der Mascato Jugendchor unserer Küste das Konzert bereichern. Das Publikum darf sich auf Duette freuen, wie etwa Mörikes “Wir Schwestern zwei”, komponiert von Brahms; Eichendorffs “Gruß”, von Fallerslebens “Maiglöckchen und Blümelein”, Klingemanns “Herbstlied”, Heines “Ich wollt, meine Lieb ergösse sich” und von Fallerslebens “Abschied der Zugvögel”, alles komponiert von Felix M e n d e l s s o h n - B a rtholdy und Robert Schumanns “Wenn ich ein Vöglein wär”. Nach der Pause werden zu hören sein: Rossinis “La Regata veneziana”; Rudolf Sieczyńskis “Wien, Wien, nur du allein” sowie von Robert Stolz “Frühling in Wien”, “Singend, klingend”, “Im Prater blühn wieder die Bäume” und “Zwei Herzen im Dreivierteltakt”. Abschließend werden Ausschnitte aus Bizets Oper “”Carmen”, Lehárs Operette „Giuditta”” und Offenbachs Oper „Hoffmanns Erzählungen” dargeboten. Der Eintritt ist frei. Dafür wird um eine Spende für die Organisation Autismus in Namibia gebeten. Die Sängerinnen werden übrigens auch den Gottesdienst am Ostersonntag mitgestalten. Ein Dank geht hier an Gaby Tirronen, die den Besuch aus Wien für die Autismus-Organisation in die Wege geleitet und keine Mühe dabei gescheut hat.

Wenn einer zuguckt, So, nun kann ich mach schon, nicht! ich hab’s eilig!

Die in Wien geborene Sabine Kogler, seit 2007 sängerisch bei den Salzburger Festspielen tätig und Mitglied des Chores der Volksoper Wien sowie der Staatsoper Wien, spielt zudem Blockflöte, Klavier und Harfe. Sie hat sich außerdem auf Kinderchor und Stimmbildung spezialisiert. Seit 2016 ist sie ferner diplomierte Shiatsutherapeutin. Fotos: Privat!

Frolieb Tomsits-Stollwerck hat Gesang, Geige und Bratsche studiert und ist seit 2009 Mitarbeiterin des Kinderchores der Wiener Volksoper. Sie singt und spielt ihre Bratsche in mehreren Ensembles. Auf ihrer Website steht folgendes Zitat: ,,In jedem beseelten musikalischen Augenblick wird in der Sprache, die alle Völker der Erde verbindet, ein Moment des Friedens geschaffen.”

Ring Contact and Kickboxing learn from one another Contributed

The Namibia RCFAI (Ring Contact Fighting Art International) & Kickboxing Academy in Walvis Bay, hosted Combat Club Windhoek this past weekend for a training seminar regarding the ever growing sports of martial arts in Namibia. Both clubs exchanged a vast amount of knowledge about the sport, by sharing their techniques and competition experience. Combat Club Windhoek is a Muay Thai (Millenarian Art from Thailand) and MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) club based in Windhoek. It was founded by Pedro Costa and Sheila Martins in August 2016. Pedro initiated Muay Thai training in 2008 at the Muay Thai School “ZFortes” in Lisbon – Portugal, with his Master José Fortes. As a leader and dedicated coach, Pedro always believed that Namibia could go very far in the sport and decided to establish the club, with the support of his wife. He introduced the values of traditional Muay Thai and the ideals of his Master José Fortes in Namibia. Months thereafter Combat Club – Windhoek met the Namibia RCFAI & Kickboxing Academy and joined the Namibia Kickboxing Federation. The MMA was introduced to the public once it was fully operational. CoachVany, a Capoeira Master, represented Namibia in The Capoeira World Games and holds a Brown Belt in Brazilian Jiujitsu. Together they decided to join forces for the benefit of the contact sport. Vany learned the art of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu with Carlos de Sousa at Vale

Tudo Namibia and got the opportunity to train in Brazil and Angola. The two Martial Art Clubs decided to have a weekend of training to sharpen their techniques and broaden their knowledge base. The Namibia RCFAI Kickboxing Academy has been exposed to international competitions and this experience shared especially with the less experienced fighters was very important. Sessions of sparring and grappling were the main focus of the gathering, through which the fighters learnt different techniques and effective Muay Thai striking skills. The grappling known as Brazilian Jiu-jitsu also featured in the session. Fighters were afforded the opportunity to learn different methods of submission such as arm locks, leg locks, rear neck chokes, take-downs and sweeps to add to their lists of techniques. For the benefit of the martial arts movement, the Namibia RCFAI Kickboxing Academy and Combat Club Windhoek intend to maintain their strong relationship and look forward to hosting a national martial arts event in Windhoe in the near future.

First horse race in Swakopmund after long break After a long absence at the coastal areas, horseracing will once again take place in Swakopmund this Easter Weekend. The event will start on Saturday (15 April) at the old race track next to the airport. Twelve races will be on the card with the top Namibian race horses competing. The main race of the day, the Easter Handicap, over a distance of 2000 meters, is one of the highlights for horselovers and the spectators, as Namibias best horses will compete for the honours. Shadaloo is the horse to beat and a big favourite, but with ten of the best horses competing, he has to be at his best. Horses in this race that have the ability to cause big upsets. Other horses to watch out for are Lite the Nite, China, Mia Taiga, Back to Bowler and Boogy Boy are horses that can win at any given time. Four of the twelve races are exclusively reserved for horses bred in Namibia. Local breeders will have the opportunity to showcase their breeds. In this category the horses Evergreen rose of Tjaka, Swaai Rokkie and the new kid on the block, Professor, are the favourites to fight it out. The A-div 1000 meters sprint will be one of the fastest races, where the speed freak of Rehoboth, Rose Gold, will be challenged by a new horse from Port Elizabeth, the highly rated Happy Lion. Prince De Lago, Chestnut Vow, Lady Lilac and Happy Lion are new imports that will compete for the first time in Namibia. The event commences at 12:00. Refreshments are available.

NAPSO Private School Athletics Sharoldine Bock

On 24 and 25 March fifteen private schools competed in the annual NAPSO Private Schools Athletics, organised by Dolphin Schools (Walvis Bay). The event was held at the Vineta Sport Stadium. A total of 1 200 athletes ranging from age groups U/7 to U/19 competed in the event, whereas on Saturday the finals for the track items took place. NAPSO started in 2000. It was initiated by the Tsumeb Gymnasium. For several years the Windhoek Afrikaans Private School organised it, according to Victor Rigby, sports co-ordinator of Dolphin Schools. One of the requirements is for the track events to take

place on tartan track. Hence it was decided to host the event at the Vineta Sport Stadium’s tartan tracks. Coca Cola and Wimpy sponsored all athletes who qualified for the Nationals. The Nationals takes place in April in Windhoek.
