Shack fires hit Kuisebmond

A crew of nine fishermen were stranded for two days on the shore close to Conception Bay, after their snoek vessel, Lucille Way, ran aground in the area at 05:15 on Tuesday [18 April 2017]. The crew spent 53 hours in adverse desert conditions with survival gear before they were found “by mere chance”. “Lucille Way” ran aground on a sandbank about 25 kilometers south of the famous “Eduard Bohlen” shipwreck. The vessel ended up on its starboard side on the beach, as strong waves pounded the vessel. The sailors were found by Mr. Armand Basson of I Dream Africa Adventure Tours. Luckily for the stranded crew I Dream Africa Adventure Tours offers tours into the far south and was

travelling towards Meob Bay from Walvis Bay when Basson spotted the stranded crew. Basson conducts tours up to Meob Bay about twice a month. The crew can consider themselves very lucky indeed that they were spotted by mere chance. “The crew was understandably extremely happy to see us,” Basson said to namib times yesterday. Together with some clients he left Walvis Bay early on

Thursday morning. At about 10:30 he spotted something strange on the beach and upon closer inspection saw the stranded vessel. The crew was standing on the beach waving at the oncoming cars. At the time, they were left over to nature for 53 hours. “They had a bit of water and some biscuits left but not much else,” Basson added. The crew explained they ran aground on the sandbank early in Continues on Page 2

Man beaten up after racial slurs at Windpomp 14 Erwin Leuschner The 3rd Leg of the Coastal Angling Competition on Saturday by the Namibia Rock and Surf Angling Association (NRSAA) ended on a sour taste at the popular establishment Windpomp 14. One of the Association's affiliated members allegedly behaved embarrassingly and after racially motivated slurs it ended in a fist fight with security officials. A video clip of this unfortunate and immature incident e-merged on social media and spread like a wild-fire. The video shows security guards getting the better of the misbehaving patron, identified as a certain Willem de Klerk. De Klerk can clearly be overheard referring to the security officials as two baboons. In an effort to get a full version of events,

namib times obtained input from eyewitnesses. Eyewitnesses reported members of the NRSAA congregated at Windpomp 14, located between Swakopmund and Wlotzkasbaken, after the conclusion of the fishing competition. De Klerk included. At one point de Klerk allegedly pulled down his pants in public and urinated in public, much to the disgust and dis-

belief of other patrons. A security official confronted de Klerk who retaliated with alleged racially laced insults. The security official hit de Klerk. He was joined by a colleague. De Klerk can be overheard calling out to the officials as baboons and using exceptionally crude language. The incident has drawn much criticism since the weekend with many on social media conContinues on Page 2

doning de Klerk's behavior as revolting and scandalous. One person was of opinion race relations in Namibia cannot be improved in a climate where people insult one another based on race and colour. Another added white Namibians in general are “dragged down” by incidents and acts like this. The NRSAA in the meantime also issued an official statement reading: “It has been brought to our attention that one of our affiliated members allegedly misbehaved after a Coastal league competition held on Saturday 22 April 2017 at mile 14. The incident reportedly occurred at “Die Windpomp” restaurant in which hate speech and racial comments were made,” reads a statement issued by the NRSAA shortly after the incident. The NRSAA ensures to investigate the incident. “The NRSAA, on the highest level, would like to clearly state that it does not condone this type of behavior. Should this individual or Member Club be found guilty of these alleged offences, necessary disciplinary steps will be implemented,” the statement concludes. It is signed by NRSAA Chairman Johan Agenbag. Windpomp 14's Bertus Struwig also issued a statement on behalf of the owners, management, security and staff: “I'm totally amazed that we still have such human elements in this great country, whilst we cannot wish you away, our doors will always be closed to you. Struwig was not available for comment. The sign NOT WELCOME should have your name on,” he revealed in a statement. “We hope this gentleman is as embarrassed this morning as we are.” Struwig explains that it took hundreds of visitors to help build Windpomp14's reputation over a period of 16 months as a place where friends and family can meet, relax and enjoy Namibian hospitality at its best. “It took one man to trash that reputation in a matter of minutes.” Struwig is the CEO of Sun Karros, the company that took over the Mile 14 camp site and converted it into a popular hangout spot after a substantial investment. Struwig's statement continues: “We are this morning disgusted and strongly condemn this juvenile behavior of this person that caused this unacceptable incident. We are totally confident that our staff and security on duty did their best to try and contain this man, who arrived early afternoon at Windpomp14 on a “break out mission”. We failed miserably as this character was set to cause the day's drama and make social media headlines. We complement our security who tried their best to deal with this situation and apologize that they had to take the insults from a man who obviously has no respect for himself or others.” The response by Struwig was met with lots of praise judging by the great majority of comments made in this regard. After the incident initially went viral, many blamed the establishment on social media. By yesterday the table had turned and Windpomp14

Swakopmund resident Hildegard Scheps, better known as “Scheppi”, celebrated her 101st birthday on Saturday, 22 April 2017. Mrs Scheps, who was born in 1916 celebrated her birthday in a small circle with coffee, cake and champagne at the Lions Old Age Home (picture on the right). Mrs Scheps was born in Adeldorf, Germany. She stayed in the former German Democratic Republic (DDR) until 1954. With her son she arrived in Walvis Bay on 23 March 1954, carrying two suitcases. Until 2001 she lived in Walvis Bay where she worked in a pharmacy. Up until this day many residents fondly remember Mrs Scheps. For the past 16 years she has been living in the Lions Old Age Home. Her son, three grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren lives in the Cape. She has seen and experienced things many of us can only dream of. Her secret to longevity includes being happy and friendly and as her German friends say: “she is always on the move”.

snoek vessel runsaground

Continued from Page 1 the morning on Tuesday at about 05:15. Apparently, the vessel sailed too close to the shore in the night. The reason why the vessel moved so close to shore is yet to be determined. After realizing they are about to run aground the sailors sent out an emergency signal via the ship radio. “It seems the emergency signal did not reach its destination”, they explained. After the vessel ran aground the crew set up a small camp on the beach, using the vessel's lifeboat and a few other supplies. There was nothing more they could do than waiting patiently for help, staying sheltered against the elements and consuming their water and food conservatively. The “Lucille Way” is a small snoek vessel. “As a thank you the crew gave us a bit of snoek”, Basson said. He gave the fishermen water, Coca Cola, food and more. The crew was especially happy about the meat skewers [“sosaties] he offered them. “I used my satellite phone and called for help. Afterwards we continued our journey”, Basson continued. According to NamPort Corporate Communications Officer Jo-Ann Stevens the “Lucille Way” is a Namibian flagged vessel registered at Lüderitz. As the incident occurred outside of the port's jurisdiction, NamPort only received a report on the stranding. The Directorate of Maritime Affairs (DMA) is handling the incident. · Upon Basson's return on Sunday he passed the stranded vessel again, which is still lying on the beach. The crew has in the meantime been moved to Walvis Bay. There are plans underway to pull Lucille Way off the beach into the water again. (See pictures on page 7).

De Klerk contacted namib times yesterday morning and was audibly distressed and embarrassed at what has happened. He shortly thereafter emailed the following statement: “I refer to the incident which took place on Saturday 23 April 2017. I am truly regretful of my idiotic behaviour, and I unconditionally and sincerely apologise to the security guards, the management of Windpomp 14, my family and friends as well as the public.

Six teenagers, aged between 17 and 19, were arrested over the weekend after they allegedly stole a taxi. After being spotted by the police they fled from law enforcement officers, but were ultimately arrested. They are expected to make their first court appearance in the Walvis Bay magistrates court today. According to deputy commissioner Erastus Iikuyu, regional crime investigations coordinator for Erongo, the incident occurred on Saturday at about midnight. The suspects used an unknown object to break into the taxi, a silver Toyota Corolla with registration N1707WB. The vehicle was parked in Lepelaar Street in Tutaleni. They managed to start the vehicle and drove off. During the same day at about 4:00 the vehicle was spotted by members of the police. The officers attempted to stop the driver, but the driver ignored the police officers and instead sped off. The officers chased the car around town. At the Puma Service Station in Kuisebmond the driver stopped the vehicle and fled the scene with two other suspects. “We arrested three more suspects at the scene,” Iikuyu confirmed. The driver as well as the other two suspects, who fled the scene, were arrested on the same day in Kuisebmond. All six suspects are in custody. The value of the vehicle is estimated at N$57 000. Two of the suspects were found with car keys in their possession the investigator believes were used to steal the car.

Fines of up to N$25 million await rhino and elephant poachers Floris Steenkamp

Tourism minister Pohamba Shifeta took the gloves off in the fight against rhinoceros- and elephant poaching. The minister recently tabled an amendment in the National Assembly of the current Nature Conservation Ordinance 4 of 1975. If becoming legislation, the fines for rhino and elephant poaching will skyrocket from a current N$200 000 to N$25 million. Recurring offenders can face a fine of up to N$50 million. The term of imprisonment will also increase from 20 years to 25 years if the bill is passed in both House of Parliament and signed into law by President Hage Geingob. In the light of a recent incident at Walvis Bay, where two men, among them a senior officer of the Namibian Defence Force, were nabbed for trying to sell two rhino horns of a freshly poached rhino, Minister Shifeta's amended legislation is long awaited and much welcomed. “Unprecedented levels of illegal hunting of elephant and rhinoceros are being experienced across Africa. Namibia is not an exception. Organized crime syndicates are involved in traf-

ficking of rhinoceros horns and elephant tusks using very complex networks leading to foreign markets. If these current rhinoceros and elephant poaching levels, as well as the trafficking of their products, are not brought under control there will be severe negative impacts on the survival of the two species. Rural poverty will also be enhanced because a high number of our local communities derive income from wildlife through consumptive and nonconsumptive use of wildlife. The current levels of illegal trade and wildlife trafficking also promote corruption, threaten peace and stability, strengthen illicit trade routes and destabilize economies”, Minister Shifeta told member of parliament on 21 February this year introducing the amendment bill to the National Assembly. The Minister stated foreign syndicates are working with Na-

mibians and plunders Namibia's elephantand rhino populations. From Minister Shifeta's address it transpired 2016 was the deadliest year for Namibia's elephant population of 22 000, when it comes to poaching. It shot up from 49 animals lost to poaching in 2015 to 101 in 2016. “Out of our population of approximately 22 000 elephants, we have lost seventy-eight (78) in 2014, forty-nine (49) in 2015 and hundred and one (101) in 2016. This is particularly concerning as most of the poaching has occurred in Bwabwata National Park and involve foreign nationals working together with Namibians”. With regard to rhino poaching Minister Shifeta painted an equally cumbersome picture: “Namibia is home to about 2700 rhinoceros, the sec o n d l a rg e s t p o pulation of rhinoceros in the world. How-

ever, in 2014, we lost sixty-one (61), in 2015, ninety-one (91) and last year 2016, sixty-three (63) animals. This has negatively impacted our rhinoceros population especially in Etosha National Park. What is further alarming: the surging poaching situation takes place despite Government mobilising spending and other resources to combat this dreaded

This yellow container (photo) at the old “New Start Centre Building” in Mondesa is not only home to vagrants and drug users, but has also now become a dumpsite, residents complained this week. “The area is very unsafe at night, because the people who sleep there sometimes smoke cannabis in there,” said a member of the public who chose to remain anonymous. This person regularly spots homeless people lighting fires next to the container at night. According to the source a body was found in the container about a year ago. The container was used as a Tuberculosis (TB) Clinic before the clinic moved into the New Start building. It is located on the same plot. The clinic moved as the container was vandalized and it was unsuitable for long term use as it had no door or windows. The source says the TB Clinic is also vandalised from time to time. The building's electricity is disconnected, although regularly visited by TB patients. Pictures: In the middle of the rubbish and dirt somebody has a bed. This is messy, said a resident.

Debt collector warns public about former employee “stealing” Top military man arrested clients

for dealing in rhino horn

One of the three alleged rhino horn dealers arrested in Walvis Bay recently, is a senior officer in the Namibian Defence Force (NDF), based at Grootfontein – he holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. This was revealed this week by deputy commissioner Erastus Iikuyu, Nampol regional crime investigations coordinator for the Namibian Police in Erongo. “The recent arrests are a hard blow to the rhino poaching syndicates and the rhino horn trade in Namibia,” said Simson Uri-Khob, CEO of Save the Rhino Trust (SRT), in response to this major Police success. So far two suspects appeared in the Magistrates Court in Walvis Bay after they were allegedly in possession of two “fresh” rhino horns. Exact details about how the arrests went down are still being kept under wraps. Jp Fourie I told you. I said just give it time the top bras will be arrested for the rhino horn. The others are there even politicians. We have money hungry corrupt scammers in our police, army and cabinet. All these GRN cars that just skip roadblock and NDF vehicles and even POL and ministers vehicles should be checked. The info is there just follow the money trail Carlito Spencer Karlo Those saying salary of police and NDF must be increased to stop poaching or corruption are very ignorant...how many CEO and high earners commit serious crimes..salary can't be the reason for poaching...even if one is unemployed they can't poach and use unemployment as an excuse...stop poaching regardless of who you are Ringo Namiseb Never blame salaries of Police and NDF now we are talking about Lieutenant Colonel which earns very well...in Namibia behind every dirty deal is an law enforcement official involves...Start searching so call VIP, POLICE, NDF vehicles at roadblocks ... Monika Ihms But we have to stop in the middle

of a national park for an NDF officer (without uniform) and trust them?? or get shot at!?????!! Anita Nita Jaa.they use to it.thanks to erongo police.for a job well done.an they are one who have been promoted.shame. Ringo Namiseb Jp Fourie you are very right...those (GRN) vehicles should be checked.. Carlito Spencer Karlo I support those calling of all cars to be searched because top officials might be the master minds behind poaching...

Double Happiness brings Chinese cigarette smuggles double trouble

The Swakopmund branch of OSK Debt Collectors has levelled serious allegations against a former employee, Monique Prince, who was charged with fraud. Prince allegedly pinches their clients after she opened her own debt collecting company. Prince refutes these allegations, though. The case became public recently after OSK Debt Collectors came forward to warn the business community and general public about the fraudulent dealings of their former employee. “It is ruining our company's image,” said Titus Kaapangelwa, OSK Debt Collector's Manager of Corporate and Commercial Affairs. Franz VernonMuller Do you have any contact information with Mr Kaapangelwa. I don't receive feedback or statements from OSK but they collect money from the people that was handed over to them. Osk Debt Collectors Good day Mr. F. Verno Muller When did you sign up with OSK Debt Collectors? As per the above article, there are some files that were stolen from our office by the fraudulent lady mentioned above, some where confiscated by the police and they are still in the hands of the police, your file might be one of the files she stole, because we do give out client's their monthly reports and we are well in correspondence with money recovered from the debtors.

New traffic circle has drivers “confused” The Municipality of Swakopmund maintains that all traffic circles in town are constructed using international guidelines and safety aspects. This statement follows after the opening of the new traffic circle on the corner of Dr Schwietering and Aldridge Street in Ocean View, which leaves many drivers confused.“Traffic circles are implemented to reduce vehicles' speed thereby introducing safer driving conditions and ease the flow of traffic,” the municipality said in a statement. “Whereas a traffic light causes a halt in the traffic, providing for a longer travel time. Another reason for constructing a circle instead of the traffic light would be the cost involved and the construction period.” Zara Castelyn I know how to use a traffic circle, but this specific circle is too small! Secondly, the entry into it from Aldridge street (left lane) isn't even part of the circle- it is very confusing! There are also no markings painted on the road, which also confuses people. Agree with Valencia, should really have been a three way stop! Laurika L Hattingh Fully agree. A three way stop would have made more sense Norman D Bester And much more.. CHEAPER...What about change the name..swakopmund to ...Circlemund???? all issues solved.....

Three Chinese nationals were arrested at the Walvis Bay International Airport last Friday after they were caught trying to smuggle undeclared cartons of cigarettes into the country. The trio was spotted throwing the cartons of cigarettes through a toilet window in an attempt to circumnavigate the watchful eyes of customs officials and the police. Li Suifen (50), Wu Jinhai (41) and Zeng Xianggui (54) are from the South-east Chinese province of Guangdong. They were taken into custody and charged with the breach of security measures at an airport. The eleven car-tons of cigarettes represent 2 200 individual cigarettes. The brand ironically: Shuangxi “Double Happiness”. The trio was fined N$3 000 each in the Walvis Bay Magistrate court on Tuesday.

Zenobia Seas denied bail in child killing Erwin Leuschner

Zenobia Seas, who stands accused of murdering her two-year old toddler Ava Owoses in September 2016 and thereafter attempting to commit suicide in the vicinity of Mile 108, will remain in custody. Magistrate Surita Savage made the ruling on Thursday in the Magistrate’s Court in Swakopmund after Seas brought a formal bail application. “Every day we open the newspaper, we read of horrific domestic violence crimes being committed and this one ranks as one of the worst in that the accused, being little Ava's mother, was supposed to protect her defenseless child but from what was placed before this court, the accused allegedly did the extreme opposite and a little girl paid with her life,” explained Savage in her ruling. She added that “in my view there is sufficient evidence to come to the conclusion that it would not be in the interest of justice to release the accused on bail.” The murder of Owoses close to seven months ago sparked a nationwide outrage and a national state of shock and dismay. The 32year-old Seas stands accused of murder after she allegedly sent her former boyfriend a cellphone message informing him that she had killed their daughter. After an extensive search, Seas and the lifeless body of Owoses were found in the vicinity of Mile 108 by a member of the Swakopmund Neighbourhood Watch. Once confronted she

allegedly admitted to an attempted to burn her deceased daughter in the car and in the process also dying in the fire herself. Seas is represented by lawyer Mpokiseng Dube. The State Prosecutor Dalon Quickfall represents the State. Dube argued once released, Seas will not abscond; she will not interfere with witnesses; she intends to seek assistance from a psychologist or psychiatrist; and that she is of the opinion that her constitutional rights will be violated if she is not released on bail. In support of Seas' case the educational psychologist Estelle Bailey was called to testify. She told court she visited the accused once in the holding cells and subsequently compiled a report where she recommended that “there is no reason to suggest that she should stay any longer in custody.” Bailey also said that Seas does not appear to be a threat to herself or anyone else. She recommended though that more evaluation in different physical circumstances are required to shed light on what drove her actions

that day. Prosecutor Quickfall called in various witnesses to testify on behalf of the State. Among others the investigating officer, Izolde Kleinbooi. Kleinbooi testified she attended the crime scene on that fateful day and found various belongings of Seas. Amongst these was a bottle of camphor oil. The police investigation has in the meantime established the deceased was suffocated. Traces of the camphor oil was found in the deceased's airway. Kleinbooi further testified she found a notebook at the scene, in which the accused not only described how she killed the deceased but also left messages to family members. From the notebook Kleinbooi gathered the accused tried to kill herself after she killed her child. The Riaan Van Rooyen investigating officer objected to the granting of bail and said that the investigations are at an advanced stage. Quickfall called various other witnesses to support his case, including Chief Inspector Selma Shangula, head of the unit dealing with Gender Based Violence in the Ministry of Safety and Security. Also, Margareth Richter, a social worker based in Swakopmund, who objected to the granting of bail. She is concerned over the rise in cases of domestic violence in Namibia. In her ruling, magistrate Savage considered various factors but came to the conclusion the State has a strong case. “The actions of the applicant seem to be premeditated. It would not be wrong for the court to express its indignation, not only in the matter at hand but in general at the rise in domestic violence cases,” she said. Savage added the public ultimately wants to see justice served. “To achieve this, the justice system must not fail them. The courts must as far as possible strike a balance between the rights and interest of the accused on one hand, and the interest of the Public on the other. The court affirms the position of the State that a child's killing is a matter of public interest. Also, this incident and the manner in which Ava Owoses lost her life. She is one of the many victims in our country,” she said. After the ruling the case was postponed to 7 June to allow for further police investigation. There is still some medical and forensic evidence outstanding. Seas remains in custody and has been transferred to the Walvis Bay Prison to await her trial.

Lady Laksman set on going bigger Lady Laksman who exchanged Walvis Bay for the city of Vigo in Spain at the beginning of 2017 says she is focusing all her attention, that is apart from completing her school career, on football and athletics. She is currently on holiday back home and namib times took the opportunity for an interview to learn more of this very promising Namibian sport star. Lady Laksman (18) was born in Windhoek and grew up in Walvis Bay. She completed her primary school years at the Narraville Primary School and started secondary education at De Duine Secondary School up to Grade 10. She always cherished a deep affection for sports, particularly soccer and athletics. In 2016 she successfully applied for a opportunity to further develop herself in soccer and athletics at the Velodromo De Porriño in Vigo in Spain. There she plays football for the Porriño Industrial FC and athletics for Athletico Bibao. Her personal circumstances at home and the high prevalence of alcohol and drug abuse and high school dropouts woke her to a quest to go bigger in life already at the age of four. She always loved to play street soccer with the boys since you age. At the age of 7 in pre-primary school she achieved her first success (gold) in athletics. That too developed into a sport passion. She can recall telling her mother already at a young age that she wants to become a sportswoman. In 2013 where she was Junior Victrix Lodorem. To cap the matter as good sports all rounder she qualified for the Namibian Darts Team in the same year. “Whenever I am on the soccer field or on the athletics track, for a moment I remind myself where I come from and where I am heading. It helps me to give my very best, said Laksman. Shelly-Ann Fryser Prince has been her greatest influence to take her athletics to the next level. Shelly-Ann too started her athletics at a young age. After her sport achievements in 2013, she wanted more. In De Duine in 2014 she was again Junior Victrix Lodorem. It was followed with being part of the U/17 NSSU Nationals and attending U/20 National NFA-camp. “If talent does not work, hard work beats talent” this is the motto she uses to achieve her success. She is most grateful towards her sister; Marlyn Laksman Gonzalez Aquino, who has made it possible to live her dream of playing soccer, practice athletics and furthering her studies. And her list of future achievements are: qualifying for the 2020 Olympics and to play for Real Madrid or Barcelona football clubs. On an intellectual level she cherishes the dream of becoming a chief engineer at sea. She admits it is challenging to balance her life between sports and studying at school, but thrives in a good challenge. Her daily routine starts with a morning jog of 30 minutes and warm-up stretches. Then come the 1500m runs and 200m sprints on the tartan track. Her program is also packed with circuit training and all rounded off with a recovery jog. On the soccer field she does stamina running, stretches, high intensity exercises, ball positioning, team practice and a full soccer game. She had a big thank you for coach Leandri Lucas (Walvis Bay) for all her encouragement, training, opening doors in soccer for her and not only making her a better soccer player, but also a better person. “One of my biggest concerns in football is male dominance. She wants to actively contribute towards growing the female share in soccer. To Laksman life without sport is unimaginable. She breaths, eats and sleeps sport. Unlike the average teenager a social life is virtually non-existent. “ Usually when I run into an obstacle in sport, I measure the obstacle against what I have encountered before. Once I identified the problem or shortcoming I go full-out working at it to prevent it in future”.

She encourages people to never stop working towards their objectives. Believe in yourself and God and pray, I believe that's one of the key factors for success. “If you fall stand back up and turn failure into a lesson”, she concluded.

Desert Clash Sharoldine Bock

The Desert Clash was hosted at Atlantis Sports Club over the weekend by the Walvis Bay Sports Martial Arts Club. This event was the first ever nationally and internationally-sanctioned event hosted in Namibia, in order to select a team to compete at the SA Open Championships (Destiny). Destiny is the qualifier for the US Open, the biggest Mixed Martial Arts event in the world and the official world championships in this sport.

Belt groups compete together under weight and age groups. Lower grades did not compete against higher grades and there are 3 divisions in general: Beginner (white, yellow & orange); Intermediate (green, blue & purple) and advanced (brown & black belt). There are divisions for the following: Points & Continuous Fighting, Self Defense and Tag Team Matches. There were 48 entries from all three clubs. The clubs present at the competition was The Dojo (Windhoek),

The Swakopmund Fight Club (Swakopmund) and the Walvis Bay Sports Martial Arts Club. The main referees for this event were Shihan Nic Kolby, Sensei Dorothy Bachmann and Sensei Martin Gunter.

Mrs Suzanne van Zyl from Healing In Motion for attending the event as well as attending to the athletes medical needs. The Municipality of Walvis Bay for the fighting mats.
