Tunino Haskell: Best "investment" anyone could have made with the right connections, N$ 405 000k and 9 years later sold for N$ 20 million ! That's an interest rate of approximately 550% per annum.

Puff Adder Swakopmund resident Devin Klein, son of prominent business man Detlef Klein, is doing well after he was bitten by a Puff Adder about two weeks ago. “Even after so many days, I still cannot wear shoes, because my foot is still too swollen,” Klein said to namib times this week. Chris Jordan: Dr Christo Buys is a fantastic docter. If I get bitten by a snake, he will be the dr to look after me. Thankful that we have him in our country a man with a heart of gold. Francois Theart: The snake responsible for the snakebite was a horned adder and not a puff adder. Anti venom should not be administered for horned adders as it is not effective. However in the case of a confirmed puff adder bite anti venom should be administered early. It is also falsely stated that cutting is standard procedure for treating snakebite with exception to zebra snakes where early surgical debridement is needed. Bradley Lil-Gee Urikhob: Why do we have to know who he is affiliated to, who's son he is . Why cant it just be a story about a boy who was bitten by whatever the hell kinda snake it is... Hybrie Hayes: Sjoe dis erg In swakop nogals Dis baie erg hoe aktief die slange is in ons gemeentskap! John Hayes Pierre Lambert Linda En John Hayes ons moet maar mooi kyk as Jp en Linn
