Group of business people buy out Elgin Brown Hamer Nam Consortium Floris Steenkamp A consortium of several leading business people in Namibia and also three companies, bought Elgin Brown Hamer Namibia Consortium, effectively giving them a 47,5 % shareholding in Elgin Brown Hamer Namibia (EBHN). One of the shareholders, namib times can reveal, is a leading marine industrial businessman. He preferred to speak to the newspaper on condition of anonymity, as an official announcement will only be made at a later stage. Namport owns a 52,5 % shareholding in
EBHN. The remaining 47,5 % was owned by Elgin Brown Hamer Consortium Namibia which in turn was owned 100 % by South African ship repair giant DCD Dorbyl. “We bought out DCD Dorbyl and that gives the new Namibian consortium the 47,5 % shareholding in EBHN”, it was ex-
plained. Almost to the month approximately a year ago, the Namibia Competitions Commission approved a merger between Namport and EBHN. There were so many conditions attached to the approval that the merger never took place. This merger would Continues on page 2
Walvis Bay’s sewer challenges growing Eileen van der Schyff A sewer management specialist from Cape Town, who was supposed to assist the Walvis Bay municipality to alleviate the growing pressure on the town's ageing sewage system, was turned around at the Namibian border earlier this year on account, this specialist's Namibian partner failed to obtain proper entry documents. A convoy of trucks carrying high-pressure equipment and combination trucks was forced to return to Cape Town, and to date no new attempts have been made to bring in the team to come and do the work. Namibia reportedly has no sewage management specialists or the
equipment to flush sewer systems and can only rely on service providers from elsewhere in SADC. This revelation was made this week when namib times asked critical questions with regard to the harbour town's growing sewerage problems. During these questions the newspaper learnt
officials within the municipality fear the worst: Walvis Bay is running into a stalemate situation with regard to the management of the sewage network. “We don't know for how long flushing would remain as simple as pushing a button”. To shed some light on this situation, the evol-

Rage as several antelope died during export to the DR Congo Father

Herman passed on
Employees of several companies working in the port of Walvis Bay expressed their disgust this week over an incident in which several heads of game were found dead in the cargo containers in which they were supposed to be exported alive to the Democratic Republic of Congo. The antelope included oryx and kudu and was destined for a super luxury wildlife retreat in the DRC. The animals were captured on a game farm and loaded in specialised containers. During the transport process and possibly also the loading process some of the animals died. It is believed the stressful circumstances like the capturing and transport resulted in the deaths. Animals that survived were exported aboard this reefer vessel sailing under the name “El Nino”. “We are not in favour of Namibia’s wildlife exported alive to other countries. Moreover, we were disgusted to learn some of the animals died. That is proof to us that this is wrong to capture, transport and export game alive”, said a stevedoring worker. vement of the Walvis Bay sewage network must first be put into perspective. In the period 1960 -1970, the Walvis Bay sewage infrastructure was established and replaced the bucket system. The re-integration of Walvis Bay in 1994 resulted in a massive influx of people.
Simultaneously, efforts followed in 1995 to industrialise Walvis Bay and to position the port of Walvis Bay as a logistics hub for SADC imports and exports. The sewage system became under increased pressure as the town's population grew. The problem was augmented by “densi-
fication”. In order to provide more housing for the growing population, the erf densities were increased to allow for more living units on all plots. Problem becoming w o r s e : Wi t h t h e sewage system coming under increased pressure as a result of the Continues on page 2

The global economic conditions is also not very favourable for the ship repairs and marine industrial sector, that this would certainly have led to the collapse of EBHN. We as a group of business people and three companies believe we can turn EBHN around to profitability again and for that reason we bought out the shareholding of EBHN Consortium”, this businessman explained. Full details of the transaction is expected to be made public in due course by means of an official statement to the media.

Walvis Bay’s sewer challenges growing Continued from page 1 increase in the population, new problems started to develop. The system is ageing rapidly and the cost of replacing the entire sewage system will run into billions. The municipality of Walvis Bay adopted a strategy over the years to replace stretches of sewer lines in the event of ruptures or breakages. In this way severe problem areas are neutralised, but according to the local authority this cannot entirely wipe out the problem. Blocked sewer lines remain a reality for many parts of Walvis Bay with so called “hot spots” identified as the lagoon area, the light industrial area, parts of Kuisebmond and Narraville. Then: to replace sewer lines is easier said than done in Walvis Bay. Walvis Bay is for all practical purposes con-
structed on reclaimed land. When trenches are dug to lay or replace sewer pipes, huge volumes of seawater flood it within a very short period. The municipality is reliant on powerful water pumps to keep the trenches dry for the purposes of construction. The only option then is to pump the seeping seawater into the sewage system. However, with the system already under pressure from the high volumes of sewage water, the local authority tries as much as possible to avoid seawater entering the system. The future: The municipality of the Walvis Bay's department for water, waste and environmental affairs says the problem can be reduced to a great extent if residents of Walvis Bay
cooperate and prevent the “abuse” of the sewage system. Restaurants, hotels and other institutions with industrial sized kitchens must prevent fat and oils from entering the system. Maintain fat traps. Other unwanted items in a sewage system are oils, chemicals, fabrics and food solids. There were incidents in the past where people dumped garbage into manholes, resulting in severe blockages of the entire system. At time of going to press, namib times was yet to receive answers from the municipality of Walvis Bay's public relations department, to provide more details on as to what the Walvis Bay public can expect in the near-, medium- and long-term future with regard to alleviating the town's sewerage challenge.
Disgruntled resident Elvanius Tshabo, who is now living in Swakopmund, because his family fell victim to the alleged corrupt practices said, that council sold his family's home without informing them of the sale and should be investigated. “How does the Arandis Town Council sell someone's property without the legal owner's consent and get away with it? The houses in question were initially built and owned by Rössing Uranium Mine for its workers, and were handed over to the council, who then introduced a scheme through which residents could buy the houses directly through the council at a minimum interest”, said Tshabo. According to Tshabo and a few other residents, the council allegedly repossessed their houses illegally. Information received by the namib times indicates that the council has been repossessing these houses since the 90's. Tshabo provided proof of ownership and claims that the council sold the house belonging to his late mother, to new owners without informing his family, even though his family is still the legal owners of the property. “Currently the new owner, who is also claiming ownership is living in my mother's house, but fails to produce proof of ownership. My uncle’s house which is on erf 2200 is also having new owners even though the house still belongs to my uncle”, said Tshabo. Tshabo further said the council is also requesting that his family pay the outstanding bond on the house which now has 'new owners', even though there are no records of the balance payment at the council and even if they agree to pay, they would not know how much to pay. “We have asked them to show us proof of what they say we owe, but they have also failed to provide proof of that, something is not right”, he said angrily. It is also to the knowledge of the namib times that on 12 February this year, the council published a notice in local newspapers informing around 38 homeowners to settle the loan amounts in full before or on 30 March this year, the same notice later said people should go to council to make the necessary arrangement in settling their debts, while according to sources, the council has already started the process of repossessing the houses. Tshabo said that the council somehow knows that what they are doing is illegal and have since offered the unhappy residents some form of compensation to maybe shut them up. “Now the council is telling us to accept their offer of two plots at the selling price of N$24 000 each, and not all of us are in agreement with their offer, we just want our properties back. Let them give those plots to people whom they illegally sold houses to. We want nothing to do with their fraudulent transaction. For whatever outstanding amounts there maybe we are ready to settle yet they also fail to provide us with a detailed ledger for us to see how much we have paid so far and how much is outstanding. They are even threatening us that they will take legal action”, he said. In response to the allegations, the Arandis Town Council's Communications Officer Irene Jacobs, who refuted all the allegations laid against the council, said the process of repossessing houses has been a long and costly process to the Arandis Town Council, since 2000. “Most of the persons who have participated in purchasing their house through an Alienation Scheme introduced in 1996 abandoned their properties without notice to the Council, resulting in vandalism and excessive debts on the books of the Local Authority. Since 2000, the Council has struggled through various legal firms to get hold of the defaulted customers, with no resolve, except for additional fees that the Council had to pay”. When questioned if the new owners of the houses have proof of ownership and also how council manage to sell the houses to new owners without the current owners' knowledge Jacobs said that the new occupants entered into agreements with the council, which is proof of the transaction between the occupant and the council. This was done with the understanding and interpretation of the provision of the Mortgage Bond describing the right to call in the bond. In response to how the council informed the residents about its intention to sell the houses, the council's spokesperson said there has been various attempts ranging from letters of demand, default judgements and the final resort was to place a notice in the newspaper to get a response from the clients. She further said that the council has allegedly kept records of all the bond repayments and defaults on these accounts, but did not mention why the council failed to provide this information to the residents. According to Jacobs, these houses were bonded in favor of the Arandis Town Council. A loan was granted over a period of 30 years at 9% interest. The residents were asked to pay a minimum amount between N$180 and N$220 per month on these loans. She went on to say that these clients even failed to pay the loans, including rates and taxes and other municipal fees during the 2002 retrenchment at Rössing Uranium Mine, which impacted most of the employees residing in Arandis. This resulted in an exodus of people out of Arandis, leaving these properties unattended. Jacobs also said the debtor's book of the council has increased significantly because of customers not paying their loans. “The structures would have deteriorated to the point where houses would not have been visible, should the opportunity not be given to others whom needed accommodation at the time. Council exercised its rights in terms of the Mortgage Bond to lease the properties to interested persons”. According to Tshabo the deed of sale of the house belonging to Tshabo's late mother had a 'Cancelled' stamp on, that stamp means that there is no outstanding mortgage on that house, but council still repossessed that house. When asked what the 'Cancelled' stamp means, Jacobs said, “The cancellation of some of the bonds were erroneously done by our lawyers who understood the calling in of the bond which is stipulated in the Mortgage Bond as an option to cancel. Cancelling the bond while there are still arrears on the loan account was not correct and will be reversed in accordance with prescribed legal procedures. However, if it is proven that the loan has been settled in full, such cancellation process will be honoured”. According to her, the two plots which the council offered to the residents of repossessed houses was a solution proposed to reach amicable conditions for all parties, but it is still subject to Council and Ministerial approval and subject to the affordability of persons whom are already in default. She said it is very painful that people are coming back after so many years to claim a property that they have abandoned in the first instance and never attempted to approach Council to remedy the situation. “Now, that other people have been given an opportunity to care for these properties, claims are now pouring in, demanding houses to be returned. This situation is really frustrating for the council” Jacobs concluded.

Husab now “steams” under its own power Melba Kaure and Sharlien Tjambari Swakop Uranium this week announced that the Ministry of Mines and Energy approved an application for a 15 megawatt steamturbine power generation plant and a 9,9 megawatt emergency diesel-generation plant for its Husab Mine. According to Swakop Uranium's Vice President: Human Resources, Percy McCallum, the approval was given on 1 April this year. The two plants were already constructed at price tags of N$87 million and N$65 million respectively. “The testing of the power plants was successfully completed and it conforms to the National Grid Code including an environmental assessment. The electricity generated will be consumed by Husab Mine”, explained McCallum. Husab Mine is currently reliant on bulk
electricity supply from Nampower. McCallum added that the coming into existence of the power plants created twelve permanent jobs. These positions are all filled by qualified Namibians. A specialist company trained these Namibians in lieu of the full commissioning of the power generating plants. Electricity supply to Husab has been a concern for a number of years. It affected production negatively and made operational planning difficult. According to McCullum Husab produced 1000 metric tons of uranium oxide last year and once in full pro-
duction Husab will be the largest open pit uranium mine on the planet. It will also catapult Namibia to one of the world's top uranium producers. Swakop Uranium is a mining investment vehicle between the Republic of Namibia [Epangelo Mining Company] and the People's Republic of China. Husab employs 1612 permanent employees, and about 500 contractors, making it one of the single biggest employers both in Erongo and nationally.

Municipal skips becoming a nuisance Sharlien Tjambari
Municipal skips are becoming a nuisance on the streets of Mondesa, because of dumping of rubbish not meant to be dumped in these disposal containers.
One of the skips in Tulinawa, at the New NHE extension
According to Ailie Gebhardt, the Communications Officer of the Swakopmund Municipality, municipal skips are meant to be used solely for building rubble, garden rubbish and old electrical appliances, but residents have a tendency of rubbish disposal next to the skips, and it has been reported that they set the skips on fire, thereby, obviously reducing the lifespan of these disposal containers. “The skips can also be used for household garbage, in most cases, the rubbish bins get too full, especially in areas like Tulinawa and Oletweni where there are a lot of informal dwellings and that is when residents are allowed to use skips for their household rubbish”, he said. Even though Swakopmund is regarded as one of the cleanest towns in Namibia, unpleasant sites haunts the town in areas where the skips are located. Houses near these skips are especially affected because of residential rubbish not intended for these skips, blowing around in the wind and polluting the backyards. Gebhardt further said the municipality of Swakopmund is ready for the President's May Day Cleanup campaign, which is scheduled for 25 May. She said the council is busy with preparations for the day and urged everyone to volunteer for the cleanup campaign. “We have so many green-ambassadors in Swakopmund who go around town to advocate and teach people how to keep the town clean, and we also have many dedicated cleaners from the municipality who are great at keeping the town clean, but then you find residents who just throw the rubbish on the ground without a second thought”, she said.

Swakop railway station still under construction - yet used by the public
Swakopmund residents and visitors are becoming increasingly frustrated to use the station building in Swakopmund which is still under construction, but already open for use by rail travellers. The building complex does not even have a roof yet has incomplete ablution facilities and people feel unsafe, as the building is not guarded and rail travellers fear they might become the target of criminals whilst waiting at the station or disembarking waiting for people to come and pick them up. So dire is the situation becoming now that many opt to disembark at Walvis Bay and then use the services of a taxi or shuttle to Swakopmund.

Swakopmund Brewing Company Collaboration Brew a Huge Success The Swakopmund Brewing Company (SBC) located at the Brewer & Butcher Restaurant in the Strand Hotel Swakopmund was a hub of entertainment and education on beer brewing when it hosted world renowned craft brewer from Germany, Christian Hans Müller for a special collaboration brew with Namibia's very own brew master and head brewer at Namibia Breweries Limited (NBL) – a subsidiary of the Ohlthaver & List (O&L) -, Christian Muller. “This 3rd annual initiative in pursuit of providing memorable experiences for local brewers, NBL and SBC customers and consumers has grown bigger and more successful year after year since inception”, says Senior Brand Manager at NBL, Claudia Opperman. “We were really surprised at the turnup of our invited guests and stakeholders including NBL customers and the media, and were even more surprised at the number of walk-in customers who came to witness and experience the special collaboration brew by these two masters in the craft. It was an absolute delight and pleasure to have Christian Hans Müller with us to share in his experience, and put to practice his skills and knowledge as a world renowned craft brewer, alongside our very own Christian Müller.” This annual initiative for SBC to create memorable experiences for its stakeholders, taking hands with brewers across the globe, as a special annual activity and engagement started in 2016 when Namibia's 1st Collaboration Brew was with Paul de Beer of South Africa. The 2nd was SBC's participation in the Best Brew Challenge in 2017, which brought the microbrewery onto the same stage as other best practice breweries across the globe. This past Friday, the public had the opportunity to see two masters in brewing, collaborate a special craft beer, which will be ready for tasting in about six weeks. Müller: “It was such an honor to work alongside a legend in craft brewing.
The experience was absolute fun and such a pleasure to get together with other experts in the field and just enjoy doing what we love. It has also been a learning and growing experience since the inception of this annual initiative, as well as an opportunity to compare our craft with that of the best in the world. We are always excited to learn from the best, and co-create exciting experiences with them.” Guest brewer, Müller says his experience during the collaboration will remain one of his most memorable experiences in his career so far. Müller: “It is always great to brew with people who enjoy the same passion I have, and who knows their craft – people I can also learn a thing a two from on this journey of perfection. Today was fun and I definitely take home with me, a refreshed inspiration and excitement to continue to experiment even more in craft brewing. It was such pleasure to spend an awesome day with Christian and his team.”

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste Strip-Strip-Hurra! Blondinen Revierkampf im Rivier Folge 2 Immer, wenn sich ein Kellner mit einem gefüllten Tablett vorbeikämpfte, musste ich meinen Kopf auf die Schulter der neben mir sitzenden Dame legen, wodurch eine gewisse Vertrautheit entstand. Ich sagte jedesmal höflich “Pardon!”. Beim drittenmal bat sie mich, die Schlüssel aus der Hosentasche zu nehmen, denn sie drückten sich in ihr Bein. Die Prozedur war gar nicht so einfach. Ich bat den Amerikaner, auszuatmen und für einen Moment die Arme hochzunehmen. So gelang es, die Schlüssel herauszuholen und ein dankbares Lächeln meiner schönen und mir körperlich nicht mehr fremden Nachbarin zu ernten. Man hätte die Stimmung geradezu als intim bezeichnen können, wenn die Musik nicht so fürchterlich laut gewesen wäre. Auch bedrückte mich der Gedanke, dass mein bester Anzug wahrscheinlich mit vielen Brandlöchern versehen wurde, denn hinter meinem Rücken drängten sich kettenrauchende Orientalen, deren Zigarrenasche mir in den Kragen rieselte. Das Publikum war ganz anders, als man es in einem Striptease-Lokal erwartet. Erstaunlich viele Ehepaare, die Damen alle sehr elegant gekleidet. Französisch sprachen nur die Kellner. An die legitimen Gattinnen wandte sich eine Leuchtschrift mit dem Text: Fürchten Sie, die Gunst ihres Ehemannes zu verlieren? Dann besuchen Sie unsere Nachmittags-Striptease-Kurse! Diese neuartige Methode zur Ehefestigung und zur Herabdrückung der Scheidungsquote sollte sich unser so rühriges Familienministerium mal durch die zahlreichen Köpfe gehen lassen. An den Keller-pfei-
lern waren zu Hunderten kleine erleuchtete Farbdias angebracht, auf denen die Königinnen des Strips im letzten Stadium ihrer Entblätterung prangten. Alleinstehende Herren prüften die Bilder sehr genau, Kavaliere in Damenbegleitung riskierten nur einen flüchtigen Blick. Rundherum wurde Champagner getrunken. In dem Glauben, diese Wohlstandserfrischung sei hier obligatorisch, bestellte ich beim Ober eine halbe Flasche. Da mischte sich der Amerikaner ein und sagte: “Bestellen wir gemeinsam eine ganze Flasche, das ist bedeutend billiger.” So erfuhr ich von der im internationalen Nachtleben wohl einmaligen, gestaffelten Preisgestaltung des “Cray Horde”: Eine halbe Flasche kostet 70 Mark, eine ganze, wenn man sie zu zweien trinkt, 90 Mark. Trinkt man dieselbe Flasche zu vieren, steigt der Preis auf 130 Mark. Die zweite Flasche kostet dann aber nur noch 60 Mark. “Hier wird nicht geneppt”, versicherte mein Nachbar, “es ist ein richtiges Familienlokal. Animierdamen gibt es nicht, und auch die Tänzerinnen dürfen sich nicht zu den Gästen setzen, sie müssen nach ihrem Auftritt das Etablissement durch einen separaten Ausgang verlassen.” Der Mann schien sehr gut Bescheid zu wissen. Deshlab fragte ich ihn nach der Bedeutung des großen Ölgemäldes aus dem 18. Jahrhundert, das vor der Bühne hängt. Es zeigt eine füllige weibliche Schönheit, die nur mit einem Geldtäschchen bekleidet ist. In der Hand hält sie ein geöffnetes Notizbuch und einen Gänsekiel, rund um sie herum drängen sich korrekt im Kostüm der Zeit gekleidete Herren, von denen einer ihr den nackten Fuß küsst. Ich hielt die buchführende Dame für eine Frühform des Call-Girls, wurde aber eines Besseren belehrt. Das Bild heißt: “Die Göttin der Liebe, der Neid und das Geld.” Es ist eine
Reliquie aus der Zeit, da der Inhaber des “Crazy Horse”, Monsieur Alain Bernardin, noch Antiquitätenhändler in der Rue Faubourg St. Honorè war. Er sattelte nach dem Kriege von alten Kunstwerken auf junge Nackedeis um und hatte es nicht zu bereuen, denn er wurde reich dabei. Plötzlichgingen alle Lichter aus. Das Gehämmer eines elektrischen Klaviers dröhnte in die Finsternis. Eine sonore Ansagerstimme verkündete aus mehreren Lautsprechern: “Wir beginnen unser Programm der Girls de Luxe in ihrem Strip-tease intègral! Lehnen Sie sich zurück! Entspannen Sie sich! Vergessen Sie Ihre Frau!” Wer jetzt in der Totalfinsternis ein Taschentuch zum Brilleputzen aus der Ho-, sentasche holen wollte, erwischte nicht unbedingt das eigene. Vor dem tiefschwarzen Bühnenhintergrund leuchtete ein sehr gut gewachsenes Mädchen auf. Soweit man mit bloßem Auge feststellen konnte, hatte es nichts an.... Fortsetzung folgt!
Warum bucht eine Blondine keinen Nonstop-Flug? – Weil sie Angst hat, nie wieder aussteigen zu können. - Eine Blondine, eine Brünette und eine Rothaarige in der siebten Schulklasse. Wer hat die größten Brüste? Die Blondine, weil sie schon 19 Jahre alt ist. - Zwei Blondinen in der Bar vor einem Spiegel. Sagt die eine zur anderen: „Schau mal, die trinken das gleiche wie wir. Ich gehe mal zu ihnen rüber.“ Sagt die andere: „Bleib sitzen, die kommt gerade zu uns.“ Zwei Blondinen bewerfen sich mit Stroh. Wie nennt man das? Gedankenaustausch. Nichts für ungut!
Worte der Woche
“Warum kompliziert reden, wenn mit dem Mittelfinger alles gesagt ist?” Anonym “Wieder einer dieser Tage, wo man Muskelkater im Mittelfinger hat!” Anonym “Als der Lehrer sagte, er will nicht immer die gleichen Finger oben sehen, hob ich spontan den Mittelfinger. Jetzt sitze ich vor der Tür.” Anonym
Der Bärenpavian (Papio ursinus), auch Tschakma genannt, lebt meist in größeren Gruppen mit ausgeprägten hierarchischen Strukturen. Die Männchen sind deutlich größer als die Weibchen. Sesriem (mw) „Puh, ist das heute heiß“! Meine Frau Lilly und ich kommen gerade zurück vom Sossusvlei, es ist ein heißer, wolkenloser Tag Mitte März. An einem Rastplatz an der C27 verbringen wir unsere Mittagspause mit Game-Biltong, Salzcrackern, Äpfeln und warmer Cola und bereiten uns nun auf den Besuch des Sesriem Canyon vor. Wasser, Kopfbedeckung, Sonnenschutz und Fotokamera – alles ist bereit und es kann los gehen. Steil hinab führt uns ein schmaler Pfad in das Flussbett hinunter, es wird immer heißer, wir empfinden die Temperatur unten im Canyon als weit über 40 Grad. Die mächtigen Felswände interessieren mich als Hobbygeologen ganz besonders: der Flussschotter des Tschauchab, meist Steine aus dem Naukluft-Gebirge, hat sich hier abgelagert und wurde anschließend durch Karbonate wieder verfestigt. Der heutige Canyon ist das Er-
gebnis von Millionen Jahren, in denen sich das Flussbett nach und nach in den Schotter gegraben hat. Als wir durch den Canyon flussabwärts schlendern, fliegt uns auf einmal ein Stein vor die Füße. “Wir sollten nicht so nahe an den Felsen gehen”! Und da, schon wieder ein Stein, als wir ein paar Meter weiter sind. Als wir nach oben schauen, erblicken wir voller Erstaunen einen Pavian, der gerade dabei ist, einen weiteren Stein zu werfen. Offensichtlich sind wir in sein Revier eingedrungen, und er will uns vertreiben. Wir gehen weiter, als plötzlich ein Furcht erregendes Gebrüll die Stille des Canyon zerreißt: ein junger Pavian ist auf der Flucht vor diesem alten – unserem
P a v i a n , offensichtlich dem Anführer eines Rudels. Ich kann es nicht lassen und imitiere das Gebrüll eines erwachsenen Pavians. Der Anführer schaut in unsere Richtung und ist ganz offensichtlich irritiert. Noch jemand, der mir mein Revier streitig machen will? Doch bevor ich einen weiteren Schrei loslassen kann, zieht mich meine Frau weg. Ihr ist nicht ganz geheuer bei meinem Treiben und sie will lieber weiter. Wir überlassen also die Revierkämpfe lieber denen, die es auch können! Nach einer schönen anderthalbstündigen Tour kommen wir schließlich etwas müde, aber zufrieden und um ein aufregendes Erlebnis reicher zu unserem Auto zurück. Martin Weigand
Der Sesriem Canyon ist etwa 30m tief und 3 km lang. Deutlich sind an den Felswänden die verschiedenen Ablagerungen zu erkennen. Fotos: Martin Weigand

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste Garantiert Made in Namibia Swakopmund (sk) Sie möchten nach Europa fliegen und suchen ein Mitbringsel? Nichts wie hin zu einem kleinen feinen Laden namens “Made in Namibia” in der Libertina Amathila-Straße. Der bunte Betrieb schräg gegenüber von Peter’s Antiques mit der Fassade von drei Säulen in den Farben unserer Landesflagge ist nicht zu übersehen. Raymond Spall hat sich ein ganz besonderes Projekt ausgedacht. Gemeinsam mit seiner Frau Marilyn gibt er hier namibischen Künstlern und Kunsthandwerkern aus dem ganzen Land - von Nord bis Süd, von West bis Ost - die Möglichkeit, ihre Produkte an den Mann zu bringen bzw. in klingelnde Münze zu verwandeln. “ Ich möchte, dass unsere hiesigen Künstler lernen, auf ihre Kreationen stolz zu sein”, sprudelt Raymond enthusiastisch hervor. Er ist für die Vermark-
tung des Betriebs verantwortlich, während seine Frau als Künstlerin eher die Qualität der Produkte überprüft und einschätzt. Das Projekt begann ganz bescheiden vor etwa dreieinhalb Jahren und hat sich inzwischen exponentiell ausgeweitet. Besonders wichtig sind Raymond und Marilyn, dass das Produkt von A bis Z namibisch ist. Selbst die Verpackungen und sämtliches Druckwerk kommen aus diesem Land. Des weiteren muss die Qualität stimmen. Künstler, die nie gelernt haben, auf die kleinen Feinheiten eines Produktes zu achten, werden darauf hingewiesen, um somit ihre Kreation zu verbessern. Schauen Sie sich das Geschäft einmal an! Hier gibt es namibischen Schmuck, Kinderschürzen, Tassen, Magnete, Lamellophone, Brillenetuis, Schals, Topflappen, Taschen und mehr. Sie werden es nicht glauben, aber der Laden ist sieben Tage in der Woche geöffnet: Montags bis Samstags
In dem kleinen Betrieb “Made in Namibia” wird man von Tonita Ankugo (links) oder Janet Herman bedient, die beide auch künstlerisch tätig sind. Tonita trägt einen Schal in den Farben der namibischen Flagge, der von einer Swakopmunderin gestrickt wurde. Janet hält ein Lamellophon (Kaffernklavier) und ein geflochtenes Körbchen in den Händen.

Das Geschäft riecht so schön namibisch!
Locker vom Hocker Über Stroh und Witwen
Liebe Küstenleser! Ein Bekannter sagte neulich leicht herausfordernd zu mir: “ Du darfst dich jetzt also Witwe schimpfen.” Da dämmerte es mir zum ersten Mal: “Mensch ja, ich habe tatsächlich einen neuen “Titel” erworben, wenn auch ungewollt und in keiner Weise auf Fleiß beruhend.” Selbstverständlich wäre es mir lieber gewesen, wenn man mich Frau Dokor statt Witwe Kinghorn titulieren könnte . Jedenfalls ging mir daraufhin die Frage durch den Kopf, warum man eine Frau oder einen Mann, die vorübergehend ohne ihren Partner leben, eigentlich als Strohwitwe(r) bezeichnet. Sind die jeweils partnerlosen Geschöpfe dann etwa auf hartem Stroh gebettet, weil sie in dieser Zeit auf die weiche Daunendecke - sprich Körpernähe ihres Gegenübers - verzichten müssen? Nun, wie gut, dass man Google hat. Im Internet konnte ich nachlesen, dass das Wort auf den Begriff der Gras- oder Strohbraut zurückgeht. Früher wurde so ein Mädchen genannt, das kei-
ne Jungfrau und unverheiratet war. Und weil es keinen Brautkranz aus Gras oder Stroh auf dem Kopf getragen hatte, machte man sich auf diese Weise darüber lustig. Das Mädchen war keine richtige Braut, genauso wie eine Strohwitwe keine richtige Witwe ist. Diese Erklärung zeigt einem auch, wie sehr die Zeiten sich geän-

Ewigkeit solch einen winzigkleinen Bruchteil einer Sekunde aus, dass wir uns das selbst in unseren kühnsten Träumen nicht vorstellen können. Also, es mag hier und da kleine oder gewaltige Unterschiede zwischen uns geben, und die sollten wir eigentlich mit ü-

Swakopmund (sk) - In der Sam-CohenBibliothek überreichte Lilly Weigand (rechts) Trudi Stols von der Gesellschaft für Wissenschaftliche Entwicklung ihr Büchlein “Eine Rose fürs Leben” .

Mann, der, wie die Jungfrau, vor der Ehe noch nicht sexuell mit einer Frau verkehrt hat, keine Bezeichnung gibt. Vielleicht weil diese Spezies nicht existiert? Oder können Sie mir da mit einer gleichwertigen Betitelung auf die Sprünge helfen? Wie dem auch sei, ich bin jedenfalls ganz froh, in einer Zeit zu leben, wo man zumindest versucht, die Dinge nicht mehr ganz so eng und dogmatisch zu betrachten. Ob nun Witwe, Strohwitwe,
berbordender Glückseligkeit und großem Interesse studieren wollen, denn am Ende sind wir alle gleich: Asche zu Asche, Staub zu Staub! Bevor dieser Zustand jedoch eintritt, will ich - WENN mich das Schicksal nun schon in die Kategorie Witwe geworfen hat - zumindest die lustige Witwe aus Franz Lehars gleichnamiger Operette sein.

The management and player of the Kudus thanked the companies for the sponsor as they are grateful and happy. The sponsors are old players of the club and said that they need to give back to the community as they all wished the club all the best. At the same event, Allister Carolissen stepped down as
chairperson of the club for medical reason. Donald De Koker will be the new chairperson of the club. The Kudus lost their premier league game 9-18 last Saturday against Western Suburbs.

Press release
Psychical Swaziland beat Brave Warriors The physical appearance of Swaziland, coupled with the seven new players, contributed to the Brave warriors 1-0 defeat against the host in Manzini in a friendly match on Thursday. Coach Ricardo Mannetti calls to focus on development of psychically apt defenders. This is observation of Coach Ricardo Mannetti in the friendly match played as part of Swazi-land's 50th Independence Anniversary in Manzini on Thursday night and he calls for local coaches do more to help the national team. “The Physical appearance of Swaziland gave us a lot of problems, and I will plead with coaches in the regions to develop and expose tall and big central defenders so that we can compete better on the continent”. Mannetti said. Swaziland got their goal on 93 minutes and Mannetti adds that despite losing, the idea was to expand the pool of players, and it worked. “Losing is not a problem as I got to see what others can offer and that is very vital. We experimented against Lesotho and now Swaziland and I'm satisfied with the overall outcome of the two games. We saw players who were ready and players who were doing well domestically buy not ready to step up yet”, Mannetti indicated. The 2015 Cosafa winning coach, however sings praise of Marcell Papama who started in midfield. “Seven players got a chance to play for the first time at this level against a Swaziland team that played their first team players and losing at the end by a solitary goal, tells you something in terms of experience. Marcell Papama should get special mention though”, said the 2018 CHAN quarter finalist. Brave Warriors vs Swaziland: Edward Maova, Charles Hambira, Ferdinand Karongee, Riaan Hanamub, Tjinotjiua Tjiuana Tjatindi, Captain Ronald Ketjijere, Petrus Shitembi, Ikuaterua Hoveka, Marcel, Itamunua Keimuine and Mapenzi Muwanei.

Swakopmunder at Ironman African Championship Rudi Bowe
Local Swakopmunder Tyrone Kotze was one of Namibian participants, who did the country proud at the 2018 Ironman African Championship in South Africa. In a time of 09.53.07 he is the first Namibian to finish under 10 hours!
The annual Standard Bank Ironman African Championship took place in Port Elizabeth South Africa on the 15 April 2018. The race entails an open ocean swim of 3.8km followed by a cycle of 180km and ends with a 42.2 km run. A total of 2150 competitors entered the event representing approximately 60 countries from around the globe. Seven Namibians competed in this year's event. These include: This was his third attempt (2016, 2017 and 2018) at this distance. The goal for the first attempt was to simply finish the race and he was happily surprised by achieving 10h14mins. After that the goal then became to complete the race in sub 10hrs.Tyrone failed to do so in 2017 after severe fatigue in the final stages of the marathon resulted in a poor marathon time and a total race time of 10h08mins. He went back a third time more prepared than ever and realised the dream by completing the swim in 53mins, the bike in 5h23mins and the marathon in 3h30mins with a total time of 09h53mins. Tyrone's next goal is to represent Namibia at the Ironman World Championships held annually in Kona, Hawaii. One needs to obtain a slot for this race by finishing in
the top 15 positions in your age group. The field is extremely competitive as the lure of Kona is every competitor's dream. Tyrone missed qualification this year by about 10-15mins. Preparation for this race requires a monumental effort and a lot of sacrifice. Simply finishing this race is a lifetime achievement on its own. Results: Tyrone Kotze: 9h53mins (overall position: 96) Swim 3.9 km 0053.29 Div. Rank 5 Gender Rank 25 Overall 27 Bike 180.2 km 05:23.03 Div.
