Sharlien Tjambari Residents of the DRC in Swakopmund feel that the Fire Brigade Station in DRC does not serve its purpose and it should rather be removed.

A heated debate took place this week between members of the community and Town Councillor Assertha Marsh over the issue of manning the fire station permanently, in order for the fire brigade to respond timely to fire emergencies. Marsh is herself a volunteer fire fighter that responds from the DRC fire station.

Residents argue it is slow response times that resulted in two deaths in a shack fire late last year.

The shack that burnt down was situated yards away from the fire station, yet the fire raged out of control and killed two people.

Marsh explained there are five trained volunteer firemen working at DRC fire station. They all reside in DRC, but the driver of the fire truck does not reside in DRC and could be the root cause of the slow response time in the event of fires.

“During our induction training, we were told that commanding someone to the DRC fire station is in the pipeline” March added. She expressed hope that the situation can be remedied.

According to the Fire Brigade Chief of the Municipality of Swakopmund, Adri Goosen, the station in DRC is fully equipped and always on stand-by. “Our staff members are always on stand-by should something happen” explained Goosen.

Goosen explained they have considered stationing someone permanently, but due to the limited capacity to employ permanent people this would mean the person stationed there would be working long hours. That would also be in violation of the Labour Act. Despite the explanations, residents are in agreement the fire brigade is not responding fast enough and that has been the case in most fire incidents, according to them.

Imposters denied bail Continued fromPage 1 The duo was arrested at Mariental on 14 January, after one of their victims laid charges.

Paul Bernard Vryman (26) and Frans Isaacks (30) allegedly impersonated police officers.

They would apparently phone their victims and inform them of criminal investigations against them and of imminent warrants of arrest. If the victim is willing to pay cash, they can make the dockets disappear or quash the charges and arrest. Amounts of up to N$5 000 in bogus bribe money were received by the two.

They were charged yesterday with fraud and impersonating a police officer. They remain in custody and will make a next appearance in court on 15 February.

Meanwhile, NamPol

spokesperson, Deputy Commissioner Ottilie Kashuupulwa, gave a stern warning to the public over incidents of this nature. She explained the two accused were calling members of the public pretending to be police officers and using the names of police officers. “They even went as far as sending pictures via WhatsApp of real police officers, in order to make their stories more believable.”

“There was an incident reported in which they contacted a lady from Swakopmund, it appears they knew her because they knew about her husband and that he is in Angola. They informed her they are investigating a case of fraud against her husband. They claimed to have a warrant of arrest and that he would be

deported from Angola to stand trial in Namibia.”

Kashuupulwa said the accused then instructed the woman to pay N$ 5 000 if she wanted her husband to be released and even provided her with the account number where she should deposit the money and she allegedly did as she was told.

“Another incident was also reported in which they called a certain business owner from Walvis Bay and told him they are having a truck full of cattle that were stolen from the farm and that they are transporting the cattle to Windhoek and he needed to go and identify them.

According to Kashuupulwa the business man opted not to pay the money and instead reported the matter to the police. Soon the police located the two men in Mariental using the bank account details.

Never try and buy someone’s silence you will pay for it over and over.......

Mavourlene !Gaёs As two alleged swindlers were denied bail in the Walvis Bay magistrate's court yesterday, following their arrest for impersonating police officers and pretending to able to make dockets disappear for cash, four more suspects will make a first appearance in the Swakopmund magistrate's court this morning for allegedly extorting a man out of N$70 000.

The victim of the extortion is a resident of Swakopmund. He met two women on the beach recently and they accompanied him to his residence. At the residence it is claimed the trio became comfortable, although no sexual intercourse took place.

Days later, according to Namibian Police spokesperson, Otillie Kashuupulwa, the man received a phone call a few days later with the caller claiming one of the women was a minor and that he raped both of them. “They told him because of what he did to them they opened a case of rape against him and were going to send him to jail”, explained Kashuupulwa.

Soon the complainant started to receive phone calls from police officers claiming to investigate the rape cases. They would make the case disappear though, would he pay. “The complainant started paying them money. Up to N$ 70 000 was involved before they demanded a payment of N$ 300 000 in order for the docket to be destroyed.

He told them he will only be able to pay N$200 000 because he does not have money but will see what he can do.”

The complainant did the right thing and notified the police. A sting operation was planned leading to the arrest of the four at a designated meeting place where the man would have handed them N$200 000 to destroy the docket.

B2 road threat

Continued from Page 1 (CHEC) started in recent days to pump dredging spoil (a mixture of sea sand and water) onto a large land area covered by rolling dunes. The plan is for the dredge spoil to settle on the dune field and become a new, stable land mass on which the Namibia Ports Authority wants to construct warehouses and other operational buildings. The area directly north thereof is earmarked for the future SADC Gateway Port.

CHEC is constructing a new bulk fuel import facility between the naval base and bird island north of Walvis Bay. Among others the construction work requires the dredging of a new shipping channel. Approximately 10 million cubic metres of sand needs to be dredged and dumped at a designated area north of Pelican Point.

Namport, however requested 400 000 cubic metres of the dredged sand to be pumped onto a land area to reclaim the land for development. A large earthen containment wall was built and the dredging spoil is pumped into the area. The sand separates from the water to settle, whilst the water runs back into the sea.

However, as the dredging spoil is pumped onto the land mass, its sheer weight started to push ground water to the surface. The groundwater level in most areas of Walvis Bay is very shallow and huge pans of salt water have started to form only metres from the B2 coastal road in recent weeks as the land mass’s weight increases. namib times consulted Mr Chris Theron this week, a veteran with more than forty years of road building and construction experience.

After inspecting the area Theron warned that Namport and CHEC should closely monitor the accumulation of water next to the road. He explained the ground water could soon saturate the road’s foundation which comprises compacted gravel and other composites. Once saturated it cannot support the asphalt surface and the road would start to deteriorate rapidly.

Theron reiterated the projects Namport and CHEC undertakes in the area is important for national development but urged the relevant authorities to investigate the possible impact on the B2 and conduct immediate interventions in order to prevent any form of threat to the road’s foundation.

A closer inspection by namib times of the area showed huge areas where water seeps from underground to form surface pools. Some areas were still accessible days ago, but is now covered in water more than thirty centimeters deep.

Above: A bulldozer used some weeks ago to form the sand containment wall’s tracks are buried under water. Access to the area is now impossible

The area is seemingly turning into a partial marshland and water pan

The water mass can reach the road’s foundations within weeks

Chris Theron says development in the area is welcomed but the water situation must be monitored

Young Namibian scientists cover new ground in Namib Desert It seems all the hours of exhaustion are starting to pay off for the students of the 19th session of the Summer Drylands Programme (SDP), as the students are hard at work putting all the pieces of the puzzle together to reveal the secrets of the Central Namib.

During December 2015, the students from UNAM and NUST were spending countless hours at various sites in the Central Namib looking at soil respiration responses to rainfall, in both the dunes and on the gravel plains.

These students were focused on figuring out how the Central Namib is vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

Here's a preview of the students' findings. In observing soil respiration responses over an eastwest climatic gradient from the coast inland, it seems soil respiration rates increase as one moves inland.

However there is more to it, as there are numerous other factors besides distance from the coast that contribute to the variation in soil respiration rates across the Central Namib. SDP students' fieldwork included measurements of many of these variables, including vegetation, presence of animal activity, and local weather conditions.

This study, one of the first preliminary studies on Namib Desert soil carbon dynamics, has revealed many surprises to these Namibian students.

Despite the region's aridity, these soils hold a surprisingly large amount of soil

organic matter that in turn supports a wide variety of fauna and flora.

This definitely gives us more reason to love our beautiful Namib Desert.

This year's SDP students are fully aware of the privilege they have been given while spending time in the Namib this summer. It is a wonderful opportunity these students have, as they are given the chance to put in practice all that they are learning in lectures.

“This programme has given me an insight on how we as a country can implement desert agriculture using soil respiration as an indicator of soil that will be suitable for such

Gobabeb’s iconic skyline practices,” says Justina Shimwafeni, a graduate in Agricultural Management from Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST).

You can’t change the Natis way Madelaine Laubscher Numerous complaints surfaced from community members who wanted to apply for their learners/drivers licences at Natis Walvis Bay - claiming the phone remains unanswered where appointments must be made beforehand.

According to one of the complainants, she had to drive to Swakopmund, because she was allegedly chased out of the offices in Walvis Bay when insisting to speak to the supervisor about the problematic telephone line.

“I have been trying to make a booking for a learner's licence, but whenever I dial the number where bookings are to be made (20-6024) the phone remains unanswered.

I start calling from 08:00 in the morning, but to no avail. I wanted to see the supervisor about this, but I was chased out of the building when I requested to see her. I subsequently had to drive all the way to Swakopmund in the end. It cannot go on like this and I am not the only one struggling like this,” she complained.

A spokesperson at Natis Walvis Bay said “complainants cannot speak to the supervisor, nor can we change the system. We book 180 applicants every Tuesday for their learner's licences. If

those 180 applicants manage to get through on the said telephone line, so can everyone else. The lines are busy and one should simply keep phoning until you get through. We cannot change the system, but those who want the system to change should speak to the Chief Traffic Officer,” the source said.

Learner's licence bookings are to be done on Tuesdays from 08:00 where 180 applicants will be booked. Learners licence tests are written from Monday to Friday. Driver's licence bookings are to be done on Thursdays from 08:00 where 60 applicants will be booked. Roadworthy application tests and motor vehicle registrations/ licence renewals are done from Monday to Friday.

The collecting of learners/drivers licences can be done from Monday to Thursdays at 14:00.

Drivers licence renewals are done on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 08:00 to 12:00.

sity of Nami-bia says the SDP has given her the oppor-tunity to work in a desert environment which is different from the environ-ment in her home country.

She is looking forward to applying some of the things she

has learned in Namibia, especially working in large groups and scientific practices, back in Germany.

The participants of the SDP 19 would love to share these findings with the public at the Gobabeb Research

and Training Centre on 30 January It will be the perfect opportunity for the gene-ral public and the scientific community to hear from a group of Namibia's young environmentalists.

Shack fire victim receives help from Ghetto assistance centre

Sharlien Tjambari

The Ghetto Assistance Centre (GIC) donated building materials, a bed and blankets, and food worth N$7 000 to Magreth Nanus who lost her husband and child in a shack fire late last year in the DRC informal settlement.

Magreth’s shack was on Erf 324 Ombili Street. The fire destroyed all of her belongings leaving her with nothing. She joined the Ghetto Assistance Centre in 2014 and have been a devoted member since then. Magreth said she started paying the monthly fee, which is N$200, in October 2015 and her payments have been up to date that is why the Ghetto Assistance Centre is assisting her with some of the basic needs. Magreth was deeply touched and grateful for what the Ghetto Assistance Centre have helped her with. The Ghetto Assistance Centre was established in 2015, with the main aim of assisting shack fire victims in Swakopmund. Magreth's advice to the fellow DRC residents was that they should join the Ghetto Assistance Centre “because they really help when you are in need”. Speaking at the handover, the Mayor of Swakopmund Pauline Nashilundo said, “I am deeply touched by this act of generosity.” She further said that the Ghetto Assistance Centre does not only focus on their members but also on investors to get on board to construct affordable low cost houses, “they managed to partner up with an investor to construct houses for their member that own erven, I have been informed that the first phase of construction will commence in March or April this year,” said Mayor Nashilundo.

She further said that she would like to encourage everyone to take full advantage in supporting the project wholeheartedly. Mr Gowaseb of the Ghetto Assistance Centre personally gave a solar light to Magreth so that she does not use candles and paraffin lights, which are the main causes of shack fire. According to Gowaseb, the Ghetto Assistance Centre have created a GIC Trust Fund for its members, and the trust fund will be as insurance and at the same time can assist members in sending their children to higher education because it is reinvested in Old Mutual.

Onduidelikheid rondom 'n waterpyp bars Madelaine Laubscher 'n Ontstoke leser van Walvisbaai het gister die namib times genader nadat 'n waterpyp binne die erf waar sy woon gebars het en volgens haar het die munisipaliteit drie ure geneem voor daar gereageer was.

Alhoewel dit 'n groot kopseer vir die leser was, het die munisipaliteit bevestig dat hulle nie verantwoordelikheid kan vat in dié geval nie.

Volgens die leser het sy omstreeks 12:00 gistermiddag die munisipaliteit geskakel nadat die pyp in die erf waar sy 'n woonstel huur gebars het, maar was baie ongelukkig toe hulle eers omstreeks 15:00 by haar opdaag en die erf vol water geloop het.

“Ek het die koerant gebel omdat dit onaanvaarbaar is dat ek so lank moet wag vir die munisipaliteit om te reageer,” het sy gesê.

Die woordvoerder van die munisipaliteit, mnr Kevin Adams, het aan ons verduidelik “as die pyp binne die erf bars, is dit nie die munisipaliteit se verantwoordelikheid om uit te kom nie. Sy moes dus 'n loodgieter geskakel het. Slegs wanneer die waterpyp buite 'n erf is, is dit ons verantwoordelikheid om te reageer,” het hy gesê.

Ons het later die situasie aan die leser verduidelik en sy het gesê “dit is vir my 'n groot probleem want ek huur net by die eienaar en die eienaar is op die oomblik uitstedig. Ek sit sonder water,” het sy gesê.

Die munisipaliteit lig die publiek derhalwe in dat hulle slegs kan reageer wanneer die waterpyp buite die erf is.

Graad 10’s onder 18 moet voorrang kry om graad te herhaal Liesl Losper

Graad 10 leerlinge wat onder 18 is behoort voorkeur te kry oor Graad 10 leerlinge ouer as 18 om dié graad te herhaal. Om Graad 10 te slaag moet leerlinge 23 punte en meer behaal.

Daar is nou 'n uitsondering gemaak en leerlinge wat tussen 18 en 22 punte behaal het, word nou toegelaat om Graad 10 oor te doen. Die dilemma waarmee baie ouers nou spook is wat word van hul Graad 10 leerlinge wat nie die 18-kerf gemaak het nie, maar wel nog jonger as 18 is.

Hierdie leerlinge wat onder 18 is kan nou nie Graad 10 oordoen nie, maar diegene wat agtien en ouer is, wat die 18 kerf gemaak het word toegelaat om Graad 10 oor te doen.

“Ons verstaan ons kinders het eerstens nie die vereiste 23 punte gehaal nie, en toe ook nog minder as die 18 punte gekry, maar hulle is maar 'n skrale 16 jaar oud en moet nou skool verlaat en toekyk hoe leerlinge van 18 en selfs ouer hul Graad 10 oordoen,” het 'n

National weather forecasts indicate chances of rain will reduce countrywide over the weekend, after good down pours were received in the South, East and North of the country. In the central areas chances of good rains remain for the weekend.

Sy het geen keuse as om haar sestienjarige nou na alternatiewe opvoedingsinstansies, soos Namibia College of Open Learning (Namcol) te stuur, maar sy het geen vertroue in dié instansie nie. Sy wou nie daaroor uitbrei nie.

Daar was vanjaar 37 441 voltydse Graad 10-kandidate in Namibië.

Hulle mag Graad 10 oordoen, maar ouers voel leerlinge wat onder die 18 punte het, maar wat in ouderdom ook onder 18 is behoort voorrang te kry om Graad 10 te herhaal.

A serene scene at the Walvis Bay lagoon earlier this week of two boats used by fishermen to net mullet (harders).

Fishing rights to catch mullet are given from time to time to small-scale fishermen by the Namibian Government.

As opposed to large seagoing vessels, small scale fishermen has to take the tides and weather conditions into account, as it is a very dangerous to go to sea by small boat.

Mullet is a low priced fish and a large source of protein for lower income consumers. It is also used as bait and smoked mullet is a local delicacy.

Why book fees if secondary schooling is free from 2016?

Liesl Losper Parents of several government schools at Walvis Bay are concerned about schools requesting them to pay book fees, whilst there is a government directive in place that all public secondary schools will also offer free education as from this year (2016).

“The government has made available an amount of N$30 million for the implementation of free secondary school services for the period January to March, when the current financial year ends.

The N$30 million has already been disbursed to the regions, whilst a further budgetary provision of 120 million has been requested from the treasury for the 2016/2017 financial year.

With the implementation of free secondary education (in public schools), parents will not be required to pay or make compulsory contributions towards the School Development Fund,” as per the notifications send by the Ministry for the interest of the public.

It was also discovered that there are various areas in Meersig where stop signs are missing. Some of the areas are newly constructed areas where residents have been living for months, but no stop signs have been placed where needed.

A certain traffic light in the vicinity of Indongo Toyota was also reported to us as being faulty.

“When the light switches from green to yellow, the yellow light only flashes for less than a second before it switches over to red. With other traffic lights there is still enough time to drive with the yellow light on before it switches over to red, but this traffic light poses a danger as it switches over to red within less than a second,” a complainant said.

Another complaint surfaced about speed bumps in Meersig that are not visible at night.

“The respective officials will have to place reflective signs near the speedbumps or mark it with new reflective paint because it is hard to see where the speed bumps are at night.”

It was brought under the attention of the Walvis Bay Municipality.

Spokesperson Kevin Adams said these matters will be attended to.

“With traffic lights, the green light must be on for 14 seconds, and the amber (yellow) light for three seconds before switching over to red. We will do a checkup to see if the amber light is on for 3 seconds or not,” he said.

The Making of the Strand Hotel Swakopmund Series From Conception to Reception O&L Leisure Hotels & Lodges, Namibia The Strand Hotel Swakopmund is the most ambitious and innovative hotel project in the history of Namibia, and its own Brewer & Butcher may be the most ambitious restaurant.

Two beers brewed on site will always be available in the restaurant.

It is the job of brewmaster Stephan Koepp to keep the beer flowing.

We spoke to Stephan about what to expect from the innovative new restaurant and the new Namibian Craft-Brewery at the coast.

Stephan Koepp – Keeping the brew flowing at the Brewer & Butcher “We will have two beers available at all times, and we will brew a new flavour regularly according to the seasons or big occasions like Oktoberfest, St. P a t r i c k ' s D a y, Spring Festival, Karneval and Christmas.

I will also be giving regular

tours of the brewery and ans-wering ques-tions from patrons.” Stephan, you have been with O&L for many years.

Can you tell us a bit about your experience with Namibia Breweries Limited?

“Namibia Breweries Limited (NBL) is one of the original O&L companies, dating back to 1919.

I've been with NBL since 1996, almost 20 years now.

I started with a brewer's apprenticeship lasting 3 years, which was 2 ½ years at the brewery in Windhoek and then six months in Ulm, Germany, about two hours outside of Munich, where I completed my German Brewing Qualification.

O&L really tries to do everything the

right way, and they look after their employees.

I've been with NBL since then working as a brewer and shift supervisor.”

And how did you come upon this opportunity?

“I heard about the plans for the Strand Hotel Swakopmund and for the onsite micro brewery back in 2013.

I approached Thomas (Müller) about it, and he kept me informed about the progress of the hotel.

Late last year NBL had a vacancy for “Brewer at Strand Hotel” for which I had applied. As the project came closer, it all came together for me.”

And what will your job be at the Brewer & Butcher and the Swakopmund Brewing Company?

“It will be my responsibility, primarily, to brew the beer, clean and maintain the equipment and engage with the customers.

The bar will draw their beer directly from the tanks, so I will keep the tanks full.

I stand behind the quality from the raw material selection to the point where customer receives his pint.

I'll probably be brewing up to five times a week, depending on the season and requirements.”

What kind of flavours can we expect from the Brewer & Butcher?

“We want to offer authentic European beers, especially traditional German beers.

We will add our own personality and

interpretation of these traditional specialties, but we are not going to add artificial flavours or chemicals or anything like that.”

So they will be original flavours, but based on German tradition?

“Yes. Most beer types we will be using originate in various regions of Germany, but we will also offer British ales and IPA's.

They will be uniquely Namibian made, but at the same time, we are honouring the German Reinheitsgebot and Swakopmund brewing tradition.”

Can you give us some examples?

“We are looking at a Märzen beer, Helles, a Pale Ale and we will pro-bably have a Weiss-bier available all year.

One important factor is that these will all be unfiltered beer.

What is the difference between filtered and unfiltered

beer?

“Large industrial breweries normally filter their beer before they can take it to market to ensure maximum shelf life.

This process removes some natural components that improve taste, but reduce shelf life.

At our microbrewery we don't treat our final product. It is comparable to fresh unpasteurized milk.

Our philosophy is to brew and sell fresh beer on site directly from the 1000 litre dispensing tank.

That way we can keep these complex flavour compounds in the final product which makes the beer taste even better and more healthy.”

So we can go the Brewer & Butcher comfortable in the knowledge that we are drinking this beer for our health!

“Exactly!

Are you looking forward to your new job?

“Yes, most defini-

tely. It will be a much more lively environment than working in the breweries - brewing beer and making the brewing process a part of the customers experience.

I am very excited with being a part of this amazing project. It will be a first for Namibia, and really it is a brewer's dream. I can brew my own recipes at the microbrewery.

Of course I have a strong team behind me in Windhoek, but I will have some freedom to experiment with the flavours and search for that perfect taste.

And on top of that, my eight year old daughter is always complaining she has never come to see me at work.

Now she can come and see me every day!”

ACC views life skills teachers as the root to fight corruption Sharlien Tjambari The Erongo branch of the Anti-Corruption Commission's (ACC) Directorate of Public Education and Corruption Prevention held a training workshop for teachers of 24 secondary schools of the Erongo Region this week.

The focus was on Life Skills teachers and to equip them with infor-

mation and knowledge concerning what constitutes corruption,

measures.

Teachers are expected to share their knowledge with learners from an early stage how to identify posand to nurture an sible corruption as understanding of the well as preventative

dangers of corruption to a country's resoures, service delivery and general economic and democratic performance.

Learners upon entering the work force would through knowledge and understanding assist in the fight to root out corruption.

According to the Chief Public Education and Corruption Prevention Officer, Mr Tobias Amoonga, corruption have no boundaries and it involves embezzlement, favouritism, abuse of power, nepotism, conflict of interest, fraud, extortion and gifts.

During the training Mr Amoonga shared the impacts of corruption, prevention and the levels of corruption, which consists of administrative, petty, business, grand, wellestablish and chaotic corruption. The AntiCorruption Commission has also developed a teachers manual, Anti-Corruption Education Manual for Teachers which is still to be launched.

According to Amoonga, the life skills teachers will start using the manual as soon as they are done with the training and it will be added to their curriculum.

The training also included an information session by Ms Ottillie Shingenge of ACC about my country, my pride campaign, an initiative of the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology, which focus more on nationhood and national pride.

Shingenge believes that if a person love himself, then he will also love his country and be a proud citizen.

“A proud citizen who love his or her country will break through or away from corruption, they will do whatever it takes to protect their country and fight the war to end corruption. Other topics discussed during the training workshop were, behavioural change, state finance and property, silent corruption, citizenship and fighting corruption.

NHE houses increasingly vandalised and stripped Liesl Losper Houses that have been built by NHE under the Mass Housing Project in Walvis Bay is increasingly vandalised and stripped of installations. At the same time sand encroachment results in sand piling up in the houses, and all this as tens of thousands of Namibians cherish the dream of an own house.

Since the Mass Housing Scheme was put on hold by the Namibian Government, the process stopped to allocate homes to qualifying Namibians, and this created an opportunity for thieves and vandals to strip houses of doors, door frames, geysers, window panes and electrical installations like lights, wiring and plugs.

Namib Times visited some of the houses this week. Windows have been broken and some of them was neatly taken out which creates suspicion that it is for reuse. Doors were broken open and some doors were missing.

Electric meter boxes, glass shower partitions, wash bins and toilet have been removed and some were plainly vandalised.

The newspaper receives phone calls weekly from the community calling for the allocation of the houses in the midst of a housing shortage.

“Why don't they at least rent out the

houses for a short period of time until they can allocate the houses to their long awaiting applicants.

And the question is: who is going to pay for the repair of the damages?” asked one concerned community member. He also expressed disappointment in Namibians taking such a scandalous opportunity of vandalising and stripping these homes, which they know all too well these homes are destined for homeless brothers and sisters.

“Late last year the minister of Urban and Rural Development, Sophia Shaningwa, was here to receive land from the municipality for more mass housing.

Why didn't she address the problem then of the houses standing empty and vulnerable to thieves and vandals?

These houses that they start to build, will it also stand for about two years until vandalised and then handed over to new house

owners? Or maybe this will only be rectified just before the next elections when the goodwill of voters are needed, said a second resident.

Mr Eric Lanongani, Corporate Communications and Marketing Manager of National Housing Enterprise (NHE) explained security services contracts in place between NHE and various security service providers, to guard the completed houses at the mass housing sites, already expired on 31 October 2015.

He was uncertain what arrangements was made from Government's side to fill in the security gap that arose after 31 October last year.

He said he was aware of the fact that at night there are security guards of Government at the low cost housing sites, but did not know how effective it was and how guards are deployed to be able to curb theft and vandalism.

Pictures on this page are evidence of the opposing forces at play - on the one end there is a critical housing shortage, however Government stopped the Mass Housing Project due to irregularities driven by people’s greed. At the same time unscrupulous Namibians take advantage to steal and vandalise from these homes they know is destined for their brothers and sisters.

THE WBCG Wellness Centre Service The Walvis bay Corridor Group is a Smart Partner of the namib times/PEPFAR HIV-AIDS awareness campaign.

The WBCG established its first HIV/AIDS Help Desk in 2003, in order to address the adverse effects of HIV/AIDS in the transport sector.

In 2008, the WBCG Wellness Service initiative was transformed into a holistic Wellness component to address not only HIV/AIDS related issues but also to improve the general health and wellness of the transport workers in Namibia.

This effort is applied on the principles of smart partnerships and is addressed in a comprehensive and cost-effective way through combined efforts and shared resources with its transport member companies and indeed with the broader Namibian transport sector.

Through its broader membership the WBCG offers a platform that facilitates and supports the fight against HIV/ AIDS and the provision of general wellness services in the transport and logistics industry as well as along the major transport corridors and Namibian port communities. By doing so it reaches a wide, traditionally and generally perceived high HIV and A I D S k e y a ff e c t e d audience within various sectors in Namibia.

It has also become apparent that in order to address the advent health needs of hard to reach populations such as long distance truck drivers and many other mobile communities within the transport sector, the WBCG project is implementing a “ mixed model approach” with a principle of combining static roadside wellness centres and mobile wellness clinics with on-site HIV/AIDS and employee wellness workplace interventions. This initiative also spreads beyond the trucking industry into allied industries, with the potential to spread the message of wellness and information about HIV &AIDS and general

wellness. The Walvis Bay Corridor Group significantly contributes to the national goals and outcomes as outlined in the National Strategic Framework on HIV/ AIDS Response in Namibia (2010/11-2015/ 16) and it demonstrates “a multi-sectorial approach” led by the HIV and AIDS/Wellness – Strategy for the Public Works & Transport Sector 2013 -2015/6 in action.

Wellness Service success stories Significant growth was achieved on the WBCG Wellness project in terms of the development of key documents such as the WBCG Wellness Business Plan and the Project's Communication Plan. A comprehensive Service Delivery Analysis study was done to determine amongst others, the size of the market, potential customers, membership fee structure as well as general customer satisfaction levels. Capacity building trainings such as peer education training programmes and senior management cadres' pre-sentations on the impact of HIV/AIDS at workplace level were conducted but more still needs to be done. Senior management commitment towards the project has resulted in improved participation of workers in HIV/AIDS and Wellness programmes at the workplace and has demonstrated significant potential for supporting sustainable approaches.

Two Mobile Wellness Clinics were procured within the last two years and are currently used to visit various transport companies and allied industries to provide onsite wellness screening services. Additionally, the project now fully operates three Roadside wellness clinics located in Oshikango, Katima

Mulilo and Walvis Bay respectively. The medication and other medical consumables are supplied by the Ministry of Health and Social Services through our Public Private Partnership model.

Moreover, the WBCG Wellness initiative is on course to achieve its strategic initiative of being self - sustainable and a profit-making centre within the WBCG. The project has also managed to keep the HIV positivity rates within the transport sector below 10% over the past three (3) years.

The WBCG Wellness Service initiative supports the core functions and mandate of the broader WBCG such as the facilitation trade of business development amongst various countries in a sense that the transport and logistics industry has employed a large number of mobile groups such as long distance truck drivers, who are crossing borders every day and sometimes engaging in risky behaviours with groups such as sex workers which if not addressed can lead to HIV infection. If the drivers of our cargo continue to perish due to HIV/AIDS or other non-communicable diseases such as high blood pressure, cancer, cholesterol etc, then this will have an adverse effect on our economy in the long term as the industry will struggle to replace skilled drivers.

Therefore, the WBCG Wellness Service supports these core mandate by building a network of Roadside Wellness Clinics around the country to ensure that transport workers can access health services wherever they are in the country in order to stop the further spread of HIV rates.

Winners of the Premer Construction Betterball Medal - (fltr) D Frankfort, L Nande, T Shitaleni, F Jordaan (RGC Cpt), E Angula, S Ndalombumo, W van der Plas (Sponsor) and E van Wyk Saturday was our first official competition for 2016, sponsored by Wim van der Plas, owner of Premier Construction. The guys opted to go for a Betterball Medal and weather conditions were good, albeit a little hot at times. The field was unfortunately not that big as a lot of guys are probably still getting into routine.

The scores were great with no count outs - well done and thanks to Wim and his team for providing us with this fantastic venue to play on every week.

Results: 2-clubs – (No 7) H Ndjendja and (No 12) T Shitaleni. Winners: 1. F Jordaan/J v/d Merwe 61; (well played to the Cappie and the vice Cappie you make an awesome team); 2. T Shitaleni/S Ndalumbumo 6; 3. D Haimbondi/E Angula 63; 4.

G Louw/E van Wyk 64; 5. D Frankfort/ L Nande 65.

Sunday was the first SAGES event for this year sponsored by The Swakopmund Collection (Atlantic Villas; Beach Hotel and Swakopmund Plaza) represented by Johan Kok, who also played along together with 20 of our regular SAGES - he commented that despite the warm weather conditions he had really enjoyed his game.

Results: Nearest to the Pin (No 7) Eddie van Wyk;

(No 12) Bruce Burns.

There were no 2-clubs. Some great scores were posted. Winner: Gerd Vogel (c/o) over Rina Knight 41pts; 3rd Bubble Burns 40pts; 4th Bruce Burns 37pts; 5th John Powell 36pts; 6th Werner Borg (c/o) over Shorty van der Walt 35pts. It was great to see all the old faces again and we look forward to a bigger and better field next month.

Coming Up: Saturday 23 January - club sponsored Betterball Stableford. For the serious golfers the Walvis Bay Open will be played. Saturday 30 January - the first Novanam Monthly Medal.

Saturday 30/Sunday 31 January - Hollard Insurance 10th Ladies Coastal Open Championships.

Wednesday 27 January we will hold our AGM - so now is the time to put your name forward and make that difference.

(Fltr) Rocco Viljoen, Riaan Lottering (MD Walvis Bay Stevedoring) and Piet van Niekerk

Rocco and Piet win Walvis Bay Stevedoring Sponsored Day The Walvis Bay Stevedoring (WBS) sponsored day was played last weekend in ideal weather conditions with MD, Riaan Lottering and Ops Manager, Ian Foster in attendance.

There seems to be no record of how long WBS have been sponsoring this event annually, but in his speech Riaan did say that they were in it for another year, obviously to a thunderous cheer.

Winners on the day were Rocco and Piet on a solid 51 points which is not too shabby for a better ball alliance. Second place went to Emile and Kevin who, on 50 points, won the count out from Estelle and Chris. Fourth place went to Heinie and Linda on a good 49 points and the lucky draw (by virtue of some players having left early) was won by Shane. Well played Shane. Two clubs were recorded by Rocco, Kevin, Herman and Shane. Well played guys.

Riaan said that they (WBS) were indeed part of a larger group who have deep roots as sponsors in the Walvis Bay Golf Club, with Manica sponsoring an event and Namsov sponsoring the Walvis Bay Open. Obviously the club acknowledged and thanked Riaan for their continued support and this was supported by a rather large field of 54 players on the day. This is far higher than the average of 45 for last year.

This weekend is the Namsov Walvis Bay Open with all divisions playing 36 holes on the day. The draw will be circulated via the email. The 2015 champion, Grant Mather, is unfortunately not amongst the full field of 60 players that entered. However, most of the top ranked Namibian golfers entered and amongst them are past champions including Werner Lassen and the current top ranked Namibian golfer, Stephanus Bonifatius.

Next weekend is the WBGC Pairs competition and more info to follow during the week. We welcomed three new members to the club, Mike Samson, Divan Grobbelaar and Barend Nieuweholtz and we wish them a long and happy stay. The committee decided to change the starting times and now first hands will be at 11:30 and last four ball will be at 13:30. This was in response to a few fines (and grumpy old men haha) dished out last week for those that took the law into their own hands and entered two late four balls. Herman was also fined in his absence for allowing a 5 ball in the middle of the field. Jip, the rules are the rules. The Bank Windhoek Golf Corporate League resumed last week and there were a few, shall we call them upsets, along the way but more of this info to follow once all games in round three have been completed. The 10 000 buck hole-in-one, sponsored by Old Mutual Short Term Insurance Company, is still out there and surely needs a home. Good luck to all, hope the best man (or lady) wins it. If it is not won, it is returned to the sponsor.

See you on the greens and remember to fight fair.

Sport Stein and Baard back home from Dakar 2016 Send your sports news to sport@namibtimes.net

Liesl Losper

After the Dakar 2016 Rally ended on a good note, Frank Stein and Phillipie Baard returned to Walvis Bay on Tuesday with the traces of endurance, mixed with exhaustion, very clear on their faces. They were part of the technical team for Dakar 2016 “Team Rhide SA”.

When we met them at the airport, Frank told us that the weather was very unpredictable. “The weather made it more challenging this year. At times you would have stormy weather and then sand storms. It just went from the one extreme to the other extreme.

For two weeks you would be lucky if you had a full night's rest. Early in the morning hours you are still working and maybe if you are lucky, you will get sleep for at least one to two hours and then it all starts again.” Phillipie said, “People think that going through all this is difficult, but I would say this is an understatement. Perseverance is the key to all this and it is exiting to form part of a group like this. The experience was challenging, but the excitement is actually something no-one is able to describe.”

Family members and friends gave them a warm welcome when they arrived at the Walvis Bay Airport on Tuesday.

Success for Team Rhide SA at Dakar 2016 Brian Baragwanath of Team Rhide SA won Stage 3 of the Dakar Rally's quad category with just a four second lead ahead of the Chilean, Ignacio Casale. With tight competition between the two quad riders, Baragwanath managed to secure South Africa's first Dakar victory for 2016.

His three team members, George Twigge (SA National Off-road Master Quad Champion), Ted Barbier (2015 Dakar Team Rhide SA member) and seasoned athlete Wessel Bosman (who has taken a record-breaking journey from Cape Town to Cairo on his motorcycles), are performing well and have all finished Stage 3 in the following positions: George was 40th, putting him in 29th overall (Quads), Ted completed the stage in 31st position, placing him in 38th overall (Quads), Wessel climbed four positions in Stage 3 to 121, giving him an overall standing of 123 (Bikes) in his second Dakar Rally attempt.
