Partial lockdown for 21 days Estelle de Bruyn

Stay at home! That is the urgent appeal of Erongo governor, Cleophas Mutjavikua.

At a news conference in Swakopmund on Thursday, he reiterated the fact that the Erongo region is under partial lockdown as from midnight tonight.

All people who can work from home are encouraged to do so.

For the next 21 days no one will be allowed to travel into or out of the region. To this effect roadblocks will be established on routes leading to Khomas, Kunene and Otjizonjupa. For urgent travel motorists will have to produce the necessary documentation as proof.

“Travel only when necessary. Try to stay at home. People can go to shops to buy food or to pharmacies to get medication. Let us not act like everything is normal, because it is not,” Mutjavikua said.

COVID-19: He also gave the assurance that no one in the Erongo Region has tested positive with Covid-19 (Corona virus). Some people who had been in contact with a person who tested positive, have been tested and were advised to self-quarantine.

“This virus is not mobile. It is moved by people, so please, limit the movement of people,” Mutjavikua urged.

SHEBEENS AND RESTAURANTS: Shebeens will be allowed to stay open till 18:00 and restaurants will be allowed to serve take-away meals. Mutajvikua however advised against seating customers. The same rule will apply to shebeens, where people will not be allowed to linger. They will however be able to buy drinks to be taken home.

All taxis and public transport will have to provide sanitizers to customers.

LEARNERS: Mutjavikua made an urgent appeal to learners to adhere to the partial

150-bed field hospital set up in Walvis Bay Work has commenced on the construction of a 150-bed field hospital on the premises of the Walvis Bay state hospital, a pro-active move should a Coronavirus outbreak become a reality.

The field hospital will provide the two most critical medical interventions needed to treat any Covid-19 patient: oxygen supply and lung suction.

X marks the spot In bid to enhance public hygiene, amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, people can resort to very ingenious measures to achieve that. On this picture: Checkers in the Dune Malls marked its shop floor with giant, distinctly red crosses, each cross serving as a spot for a person to stand on and in doing so maintaining personal distance from one another whilst queueing at the cashiers.

Social distancing is crucial in the fight against Covid-19 and with only hours to go before Erongo Region is partially locked down for a period of three weeks, we once again call on the Region’s inhabitants to each at individual level do its part in the fight against Covid-19.

The Namib Times Mining sector seeks during the lockdown The Namib Times will for the duration of the Covid-19 lockdown only publish a Friday edition. The Tuesday edition will only resume after the lockdown ends on 16 April 2020.

The newspaper will also only be available in shops and supermarkets. Street sales will also only resume after 16 April 2020.

For the entire lockdown period, essential staff will be manning both the Walvis Bay and Swakopmund offices, for the convenience of our advertising clients.

Namib Times will however, engage its readership on Facebook with continues news updates to keep the coast’s residents and the rest of the country up to date with latest developments. Like us on Facebook.

way out of lockdown

The Chamber of Mines is believed to have finalised a submission late yesterday in which it seeks an exemption from the Covid-19 lockdowns in the Erongo- and Khomas Regions.

The lockdown starts at one minute past midnight tonight and will see mining operations grinding to a halt should people be prevented from working.

Partial lockdown for 21 days Continued from page 1 lockdown, now that schools are closed. “I saw some childrens playing soccer outside. That is irresponsible,” he said. Parents must also understand that children should stay at home, as the current arrangement that schools are closed is not for holiday, but to protect lives.

If children go out, they are advised to keep a distance of one meter between themselves and others.

ISOLATION CENTRES: The regional authority has ordered 150 beds for isolation wards, 75 for Walvis Bay's and 75 for Swakopmund's state hospital. More ventilators will also be ordered as well as masks, protective clothing and sanitizers for medical staff.

“We are seriously working to ensure that we have the applicable equipment and to make sure that we are ready. We should have the two isolation centres up and running in two to three weeks' time,” he explained.

WATER RECONNECTION: After negotiations with mayors of the various towns and NamWater, Clr. Mutjavikua said he is confident that the water supply to disconnected accounts will be reconnected by next week.

He however said NamWater staff initially did “some bickering” as if they were unaware of the state of emergency and “what the President had said.”

Discussions were also held with Swakop Uranium and CNCC Rössing to limit the movement of people for the next 21 days.

PANIC: “There is no reason for the people to panic. There are however ample reasons to act responsibly and with logic. If we don't act responsibly, we will have an abnormal and socially intolerable situation on our hands,” Mutjavikua warned.

Ministry of Labour urges employers to protect jobs as far as possible

Estelle de Bruyn Cell: 081 124 7009

Following the Declaration of the State of Emergency by His Excellency the President Dr Hage Geingob regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Executive Director in the Ministry of Labour, Industrial Relations and employment Creation held a Tripartite Meeting on 24 and 25 March 2020 with the Social Partners (Employers and Workers' Representatives). The Meeting aimed at finding ways to maintain harmonious labour relations, ensure job security and business sustainability in the Labour and Employment Sector, particularly during this critical period.

The social partners reached consensus that employees should not lose their jobs due to the COVID-19 State of Emergency Lockdown. The Sector has learnt with concern that some employers are opting for retrenchment, while others are forcing their employees to resign or take unpaid leave. The Tripartite Consti-tuents are therefore urging employers to explore better ways that will enable them to keep their employees during this trying time.

In an event that employers in consultation with trade unions decide to temporarily send their employees home (not retrenchment) as part of the precautionary measures to avoid infections, such employers are urged to recall their employees back after the State of Emergency and Lockdown period.

Employers across all sectors are urged to ensure that all employees are fully remunerated for March and April 2020. Should the situation persist, further arrangements will be put in place through genuine consultations if the situation does not stabilise by then.

It has also been noted that there are some employers who are forcing their employees to take annual leave or /and be on unpaid leave. This practice should be avoided at all cost and if any kind of leave is to be taken, it should be mutually agreed. Forced unpaid leave is illegal and hence unacceptable.

Recently, the Ministry announced precautionary measures to be familiar at the workplace. All employers and employees are once again reminded to ensure maximum compliance with the precautionary measures at the workplace as set out by this Ministry as well as those of the Ministry of Health and Social Services and the World Health Organisation (WHO) in order to help to combat COVID-19.

150-bed field hospital set up in Walvis Bay Continued from page 1 Sterilised cargo containers, lined inside with proper paneling will be utilised in this project which is expected to be completed in as little as three weeks.

Groundwork already commenced on Friday and as of Monday the first containers will be placed on the premises. The work will be carried out by volunteer workers as well as assets and resources pooled by the private sector, the Ministry of Health and other public institutions.

The energy behind this project is: The Regional Councillor for the Walvis Bay Urban Constituency Clr. Knowledge Ipinge, the Welwitschia Hospital represented by the CEO Mr. Matthias Braune, the President of the NCCI Walvis Bay branch Mr. Johny Doeseb and the Ministry of Works and Transport represented by senior official Mr. Raymond Pieterse and Mr. Charles Neidl of the Erongo Regional Council.

You can add your weight to this project by donating funding, equipment and even your skill and time. Forward your pledge to: coronacare@welwitschiahospital.com The project has been receiving overwhelming support since it was launched on 20 March.

Watch the Namib Times Facebook profile in the days to come for updates on progress with the project.

Adding: “the state of emergency declared in Namibia virtually collapsed the tourism industry in a matter of hours. Hardship is ahead for this sector and nobody wants to see the same happening to mining”, explained this source.

The late Barth Jacobs

According to the spokesperson of the Namibian Police in the Erongo Region, Deputy Commissioner Erastus Ikuyu, Barth Jacobs was traveling on the B2 route towards Walvis Bay from Swakopmund in his Audi and allegedly overtook a few cars before slamming head on into the left side of a Toyota RunX. The passengers in the RunX sustained minor to more serious injuries. The 29year-old driver is stable, while the only other man in the car sustained a seriously broken arm. The remaining three passengers, all women, sustained more serious injuries. Two of the three women are stable, and one suffered severe head injuries.

In response to the announcement by the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of Namibia to decrease the policy rate as announced on 20 March 2020, Bank Windhoek hereby confirms the reduction of its Prime Lending Rate by 1.00% from 10.00% to 9.00%. The Mortgage Lending Rate will decrease from 11.00% to 10.00% The interest rate changes will be effective from Monday, 30 March 2020.

According to Diederik Kruger, head of funding and liquidity management at Bank Windhoek, the impact from the worldwide economic decline, triggered by the Covid19 virus changed the status quo everywhere and that we are in unchartered territory.

“We believe that the quick and sweeping change announced by BON will be the first of many and we can expect swift policy reforms to firstly guide banks to assist our

clients better, but also to lighten the burden on individuals and businesses operating in Namibia.”

“The impact from Covid-19 will go down in history as the worst disaster for financial markets, currencies and the world economy, but it is in times like these where brave leadership is needed to chart a new course towards a prosperous future for all of us,” Kruger said.

The Lockdown put into perspective The lockdown put into perspective: the public of Erongo needs to understand the following: This is a partial lockdown. Your risk to contract the Coronavirus (Covid-19) has a direct relation to people movement. If you travel a lot or move around a lot outside the confines of your home, you are more exposed than the person who prefers to stay at home, work from home and prevent crowded places as mucn as possible.

Your businesses are not forced to close. However, it is every business owner's patriotic duty to ensure as far as possible that people work from home. Limiting people's movement in this way will help to prevent the spread of Covid-19. The desired situation is for people to work from home and in doing so remain productive. It is every person's moral and patriotic duty to help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus (stay at home); remain productive (work from home) and ensure their employers' best interest is still kept at heart.

People who are essential in the continuation of a business's operations are allowed to work and shall not be hindered to travel between home and work. However, these workers must also adhere to the same rules as other people when he or she is not on duty and at home.

It is also essential that traveling between towns are discouraged as far as possible. People movement and risk of contracting the Coronavirus goes hand in hand. You will not be able to travel outside the borders of Erongo as the partial lockdown means Erongo's people cannot have physical contact with residents of any other region.

Equally, people must stay committed to social distancing. Apart from traveling only when necessary, scale down activities.

Conduct essential shopping and return home. Practise social distancing by absolutely limiting gatherings either at home (inviting friends over) or in public places (bars, shebeens and other places of recreation).

In instances where you have to go into public, ensure to maintain a safe distance between yourself and the next person. Hygiene is important. Wash your hands regularly, eat healthy, use a mouth wash regularly. A solution of water and salt is adequate. Drink water and prevent excessive alcohol intake, as it inhibits the immune system.

It is also not necessary to engage in panic shopping. Shops stay open and shelves will remain stocked. The import of goods will continue.

Don't fall prey to criminals. Criminals often use these circumstances to scam people out of their money, trying to gain access to home by pretending to be health officials etc. Also, refrain from sharing false news or inaccurate information with regard to Covid-19 on social media. Use official news sources as your frame of reference and adhere to official documents like brochures etc. of the health authority, the Namibian Police etc.

How salt keeps our drinking water safe

A total of 9 000 tons of bagged salt is shipped from Walvis Bay in the coming days, one of the major and regular bulk export commodities for the port of Walvis Bay. Salt manufactured at Walvis Bay Salt Refiners are exported to various global destinations, including South Africa where it is used among others in the manufacturing of water purification chemicals. Namibia’s national water utility, NamWater, incidentally is one of the major importers of this water purification chemicals to keep the country’s potable water sources safe and healthy.

Situated south of Walvis Bay, salt production at Walvis Bay Salt Refiners is expected to reach 1,2 million tons per annum after the evaporation ponds were significantly extended in recent years. Salt production at Walvis Bay is a major direct employer and also indirect employment to local service providers.

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste Stets wachsam sein! Zebra Crossing: Preisausschreiben Swakopmund(sk) Als ich mich am Sonntag ins Swakoprivier vor Kramersdorf in Isolation begab, entdeckte ich die Spur des Elefanten, der zuletzt beim Golfplatz und vor dem Tierschutzverein gesichtet wurde. Es spielten etliche Kinder auf den Dünen. Vielleicht nur wachsam sein - ohne Panik. Ich war freudig erregt - mit verschärften Sinnen, die in Busch und Felsen plötzlich einen Elefanten zu sehen glaubten.

Möchten Sie zeigen, wie wichtig es ist, Kinder im Freien spielen zu lassen, damit sie nicht frustriert sind?

Melden Sie sich bei Susann Kinghorn; 0812538850; susannkinghorn @gmail.com

Swakopmund (sk)-In Swakopmund gibt es ein kleines, feines Geschäftchen, in dem man nur zu gerne wühlt. Die Zebra Crossing Boutique besteht nun schon seit mehr als 16 Jahren.

Jegliche Bekleidung dort, ob Kleider oder Tops, gibt es nur in wenigen Ausführungen. Es ist nicht aufregend, wenn man auf der Strasse oder bei einem Event fünfmal dasselbe Kleid sieht.

Die Zebra Crossing Boutique hat festliche Sommer- wie auch Winterkleidung und seit neuestem auch einen Casual-ChicStil, der großen Anklang gefunden hat.

Die Lederartikel, besonders die Handtaschen, werden teilweise sogar in Namibia hergestellt. Die Auswahl der Handtaschen bezeugt, dass heutzutage der Kreativität keine Grenzen gesetzt sind.

Die Schuhe in dem Laden sind ausschliesslich aus Leder, auch hier wird auf Qualität geachtet. Es gibt für jeden Geschmack etwas Feines.

Nun gilt es erstmal, drei Fragen zu beantworten, um eventuell in den Genuss eines der drei Preise zu kommen: 1. Seit wann gibt es das Geschäft Zebra Crossing?

2. Aus welchen Fasern sind die Stricksachen hergestellt, die bei Zebra Crossing erhältlich sind?

3. Was macht Zebra Crossing so besonders?

Bitte senden Sie Ihre Antworten bis zum 30.

März an susannking horn@gmail.com oder per whatsapp an 0812538850.

Zu gewinnen sind: 1. Ein Gutschein im Werte von N$500; 2. Ein Gutschein im Werte von N$300; 3. Ein Gutschein im Werte von N$200.

In diesem liebevoll eingerichteten Geschäftchen kann man wunderbar stöbern.

Haltet die Luft an!

Aber bitte nicht zu lange!

Corona-Krise: Die Einschränkung des öffentlichen Lebens hat nicht nur negative Auswirkungen Aufgrund des Coronavirus sind die Menschen angehalten, möglichst in ihrer Wohnung zu bleiben. Das öffentliche Leben ist auch in Offenbach mittlerweile stark eingeschränkt. Das hat auch positive Folgen.

Einrichtungen wie Schulen, Kindergärten, Schwimmbäder bleiben geschlossen, Menschen sollen nach Möglichkeit zu Hause bleiben, das öffentliche Leben ist massiv eingeschränkt: Die Corona-Pandemie zieht weitreichende Folgen nach sich. Doch einzelne Maßnahmen können auch positive Effekte haben - wir haben mögliche und tatsächliche Begleiterscheinungen zusammengefasst: Satellitenbilder aus China zeigen, dass die Luftverschmutzung massiv zurückgegangen ist, seit dort QuarantäneMaßnahmen ver-

hängt wurden. Ein ähnlicher Effekt ist vermutlich nun auch für den Rest der Welt zu erwarten, da inzwischen Flugreisen und Kreuzfahrten global eingeschränkt worden sind. Einige Industriezweige müssen ihre Produktion reduzieren, und es ist zu erwarten, dass auch der Autoverkehr abnimmt.

Sprich: Sämtliche Bereiche, in denen normalerweise auch viele Schadstoffe produziert werden, sind massiv eingeschränkt.

Weniger Verkehr bedeutet auch ein Rückgang von Unfällen. Da viele Beschäftigte von zu Hause arbeiten oder auf ihre geplanten Urlaubsreisen verzichten, haben Einbrecher vermutlich nicht mehr ganz so leichtes Spiel.

Weil Menschen derzeit auch nicht mehr größere Feste und Partys besuchen können, gehen vielleicht auch alkoholbedingte Streitereien und gewalttätige Auseinandersetzungen zurück.

Möglicherweise steigt allerdings die Zahl der

häuslichen Auseinandersetzungen, da die Familien sich dort leichter in die Haare bekommen können.

Die Corona-Pandemie erfordert vor allem Rücksichtnahme auf Ältere und Schwächere, bei denen eine Infektion mit dem Virus besonders gefährlich sein könnte. Unter dem Hashtag #Coronahilfe bieten Twitternutzer an, für betroffene Menschen einkaufen zu gehen oder andere Erledigungen zu machen. Allerdings warnt die Polizei Südosthessen auch vor Betrügern, die Zettel mit Hilfsangeboten verteilen – bei diesen Angeboten gehe es nicht immer mit rechten Dingen zu.

Nachdem beschlossen worden war, dass Kitas und Schulen schließen, ist die Hilfsbereitschaft für betroffene Eltern groß: Die in Köln wohnhafte schweizerische Kabarettistin Hazel Brugger twitterte: „Ich bin, wie es aussieht, die nächsten paar Monate über zwangsarbeitslos.

Falls ihr in Köln wohnt, in einem medizinischen Beruf arbeitet und schulpflichtige Kinder habt, kann ich gern tagsüber auf die aufpassen. Das klingt zwar creepy, aber ich meine das ernst.“ Auch andere Menschen boten ihre Hilfe bei der Kinderbetreuung an, so auch eine Twitternutzerin aus Erlensee, die schrieb, dass sie Eltern im Main-Kinzig-Kreis unterstützen könne. „Bitte teilt es und schreibt mir gerne. Ich mache es kostenlos, also keine Sorge.“ Viele Verbraucher, die nicht einkaufen gehen können oder wollen, lassen sich Lebensmittel nach Hause liefern. Der Service ist deutlich mehr nachgefragt. Nur muss bei manchen Anbietern eine mehrtägige Wartezeit eingeplant werden.

Wie Rewe dieser Zeitung mitteilte, verzeichne der Lieferservice analog zum stationären Handel eine erhöhte Nachfrage. „Die kann vereinzelt

auch zu Wartezeiten von wenigen Tagen führen – dies ist aber kein bundesweites Bild“, so Rewe-Sprecherin Kristina Schütz.

Und weiter: „Es gab sowohl im stationären Handel als auch beim Rewe-Lieferservice trotz der hohen Nachfrage nach lang haltbaren Lebensmitteln, Nährmitteln, Konserven und Drogerieartikeln keine Engpässe, die Frequenz der Belieferung der Rewe- und Penny-Märkte haben wir entsprechend erhöht bzw. angepasst.

Die Warenversorgung ist unverändert stabil.“ Bei Edeka gab es gestern keine Informationen, auf der Homepage des Lieferdienstes Edeka 24 war von einer „Bearbeitungszeit von vier bis sechs Tagen“ die Rede. Bis zum 20. März ist der Lebensmittel-Lieferant GetNow ausgebucht. Beim Lieferservice MyTime hieß es, dass daran gearbeitet werde, die Warenverfügbarkeit zu sichern, Lagerbestände aufzustocken und eige-

ne Kapazitäten auszubauen, um auch Nachfragespitzen abdecken zu können. „Allerdings kann es durch die sprunghafte erhöhte Nachfrage derzeit zu einer leicht verlängerten Bearbeitungszeit im Bereich der Frischwaren kommen.“ Die Real GmbH teilte mit: „Auch in unserem Online-Lebensmittelshop hat sich die Nachfrage deutlich erhöht. Wie im stationären Handel haben wir allerdings auch unsere Logistik und Warenversorgung an die aktuelle Situation angepasst. Dennoch

kommt es hier zu temporären Engpässen, da wir auch hier deutlich an unsere Kapazitätsgrenzen stoßen.“ Am Regelbetrieb des Online-Shops habe sich aber nichts verändert. „So können Kunden nach wie vor für ihre Bestellung einen Wunschzeitpunkt für die Anlieferung angeben“, so die Real-Pressestelle.

Bei Tegut hieß es: „Aufgrund der aktuellen Situation liegt unser Augenmerk derzeit auf der Sicherstellung des gesamten Filialbetriebs.“ Von Niels Britsch und Achim Lederle

Hilde, eine Pin up-Ikone des US-amerikanischen Künstlers Duane Bryers (1911 - 2012), die bis in die 1980er Jahre Bekanntheit erfuhr und ein Jahr nach Bryers Tod wiederentdeckt wurde.

Aufmunterung zur Freude Wer wollte sich mit Grillen plagen, Solang uns Lenz und Jugend blühn; Wer wollt', in seinen Blüthentagen, An finstrer Schwermuth Altar knien!

1. Es fraß gern ein Hund in Bad Neuenahr/von Frauchens Friseurbesuch deren Haar.

Danach litt er Not,/ weil daduch der Kot/ echt perlenschnurartig verbunden war.

2. Ein taffer Frisör, der Berliner Atze/schlief sehr gern auf schaumweicher Roßhaarmatratze./ Doch hört man im Dunkeln/die Damenwelt munkeln,/ “Ob er das im Laden zu -sammenkratze?”

3. Ein Barde erschien auf Burg Brandenstein/,mit Lockenpracht wollt` er authentisch sein./Er schloss sein Gewand/mit gräsernem Band - das Ziegenvolk jagte ihm hinterdrein.

Ganz locker vom Höckerchen Über Friedrich den Großen und Schmetterlinge...

Liebe Küstenleser, Es gibt einen deutschen Spielfilm des Regisseurs Frank Wisbar aus dem Jahre 1959 über die Schlacht von Stalingrad mit dem Titel “Hunde, wollt ihr ewig leben”. Der Film basiert auf dem gleichnamigen Roman von Fritz Wöss.

Die Benennung des Films ist eine Anspielung auf ein Zitat von Friedrich dem Großen, der im 18. Jh. König von Preußen und Kurfürst von Brandenburg

1850 bis 1852 gemalt.

Friedrich der Große, der selbst Flötensonaten komponierte und für sein hervorragendes Querflötenspiel bekannt war, brachte seine Kompositionen öfter in der Stunde vor dem Abendessen sein e n Ve r w a n d t e n , Freunden und dem Hofstaat zu Gehör. „Ihr verfluchten Racker, wollt ihr denn ewig leben?“ Diese vermeintlichen Worte des großen Staatsmannes kamen aus einer

Das Flötenkonzert Friedrichs des Großen in Sanssouci ist ein Gemälde des deutschen Malers Adolph von Menzel, das heute in der Alten Nationalgalerie in Berlin hängt. Es zeigt den Preußenkönig beim Flötensolo während eines Abendkonzerts, das er zusammen mit Musikern vor Gästen im festlich erleuchteten Konzertzimmer seines Rokokoschlosses Sanssouci abhält.

(2 Millionen und 240 000) wie heute allein in Kapstadt leben (über 4 Millionen).

Wie anders sehe es mit dem Bevölkerungszuwachs aus, wenn wir Schmetterling ( Lepidoptera - aus dem Altgriechischen lepos „Schuppe“ und pteron „Flügel“) wären. Die Mehrzahl der Schmetterlinge wird nämlich nur mehrere Wochen alt, einige Arten sogar nur Tage oder gar Stunden. Die etwa 1500 Arten der Sackfalter leben extrem kurz. Die Weibchen entwickeln nicht einmal Flügel und leben nur Stunden, selten einen ganzen Tag. Andere Schmetterlingsarten wiederum werden deutlich älters.

Der Zitronenfalter beispielsweise hat eine Lebenserwartung von etwa 10 bis 11 Monate.

Die Falter mit einer längeren Lebenserwartung fressen in ihrem Leben Nahrung.

Manche Schmetterlinge, die nur einige Tage alt werden, können gar keine Nahrung aufnehmen. Diese Schmetterlinge fressen in ihrem kurzen Leben gar nicht. Sie haben keinen Mund und keine Verdauungsorgane, In wärmeren Ländern ist die durchschnittliche Lebenserwartung der Schmetterlinge

war. Dieser soll während der Schlacht bei Kolin, die Preußen gegen Österreich verlor, seinen fliehenden Soldaten im Zorn zugerufen haben: „Ihr verfluchten Racker, wollt ihr denn ewig leben?“ Ich verehre den “Alten Fritz” , wie er volkstümlich genannt wurde, posthum. Er lebte in schweren Kriegszeiten, war ein Repräsentant des aufgeklärten Absolutismus und bezeichnete sich selbst als „ersten Diener des Staates“, was er auch tatsächlich war. Er setzte tiefgreifende gesellschaftliche Reformen durch, schaffte die Folter ab und forcierte den Ausbau des Bildungssystems.

Bei uns zu Hause hing eine Kopie des berühmten Gemäldes von ihm mit seiner Querflöte. Das Bild hatte der deutsche Künstler Adolph von Menzel in den Jahren

etwas höher als in den kalten Gegenden.

Die Lebenserwartung des bei uns sehr bekannten, auffällig orange und schwarz gezeichneten Monarchfalters (Danaus ple-

Die Freude winkt auf allen Wegen, Die durch dies Pilgerleben gehn; Sie bringt uns selbst den Kranz entgegen, Wenn wir am Scheidewege stehn.

Noch rinnt und rauscht die Wiesenquelle, Noch ist die Laube kühl und grün; Noch scheint der liebe Mond so helle, Wie er durch Adams Bäume schien.

Noch macht der Saft der Purpurtraube Des Menschen krankes Herz gesund; Noch schmecket, in der Abendlaube, Der Kuß auf einen rothen Mund.

Noch tönt der Busch voll Nachtigallen Dem Jüngling süße Fühlung zu; Noch strömt, wenn ihre Lieder schallen, Selbst in zerrissne Seelen Ruh.

4. Am Sterbebett in Buxtehude/ zur Wiedergeburt meinte Ute:/ "Ein Pferdeschwanz reicht voll und ganz."/ Im Reitstall trabt sie jetzt als Stute.

O wunderschön ist Gottes Erde, Und werth darauf vergnügt zu seyn; Drum will ich, bis ich Asche werde, Mich dieser schönen Erde freun!

xippus), ein Tagfalter aus der Familie der Edelfalter, liegt bei etwa einem Monat.

Wenn die Falter wandern und eine Diapause einlegen, leben sie jedoch acht bis zehn Monate lang, jedoch nur noch einen Monat, sobald sie fruchtbar geworden sind.

Die Diapause ist eine Form der Dormanz, die bei Insekten und verschiedenen anderen Wirbellosen eine zeitweilige Unterbrechung der Entwicklung mit einer drastischen Einschränkung des Energie- und Stoffbedarfs zur Überwindung ungünstiger Klimaperioden bedeutet.

Ist das nicht faszinierend, liebe Leser, wie ausgeklügelt die Natur ist. Nur, leider funkt der Mensch immer viel zu viel dazwischen.

Namibia hits seven Coronavirus cases Nampol to disband crowds of more than 50 to combat the spread of COVID-19

It's been two weeks since Namibia announced her first two Coronavirus cases on 13 March.

On Tuesday we have recorded five more new cases. The number of people infected with coronavirus has hit seven after five more patients presented symptoms of the fast spreading virus.

Dr Kalumbi Shangula, The Minister of Health and Social Services during a press conference at State House primarily announced that two new cases involving Namibians were recorded in the country, The fourth case was a 19-year-old male student who travelled back to Namibia from England via Johannesburg lately.

The fifth case involves a 44-yearold Namibian pilot who travelled to Johannesburg, South Africa for a week last month, from 7 February to

With members of the public still reluctant and not sticking to restrictions made on gathering of more than fifty people, the Namibian Police (NamPol) will have to introduce strict measures to impose the dispersing of crowds as a degree to contain the further spread of the coronavirus.

13 February 2020.

“He had a visitor who is a fellow pilot from South Africa before he got sick. Samples were taken and result came out positive.

Arrangements have been made to put him in isolation,” Shangula said. With regards to the sixth case, the health minister said that a 21-year-old man, a student studying at WITS University was tested in South Africa, but travelled back before his results came out. The results came out on Wednesday as positive and the student was admitted in isolation.

The seventh person that tested positive is a French National who

travelled from France and landed in Namibia on the 16th of March before the state of emergency announcement by president Geinbob. He was screened at the airport where he did not show any symptoms of COVID-19. He then travelled to the south.

Few days later, The ministry came to know of his whereabouts after he checked in a health facility in the south with fever and cough, the health team there observed him and took samples for confirmatory laboratory testing and the results came out positive. Said Nangombe.

All Namibians are encouraged to adhere

to regulations prescribed during the declaration of a National State of Emergency on 15 March 2020.

“People are encouraged to avoid crowds, wash hands with soap and running water, avoid touching their faces, and stay away from other people when sick.

The main symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, cough, and difficulty breathing,” he said.

The health minister said that people who are concerned that they might have COVID-19 can call the health ministry's hotline on 0800 100

Lieutenant General Sebastian Ndeitunga, The Inspector General of the Namibian Police, issued an official statement and following the implementation of the State of Emergency declared by President Hage Geingob on 17 March in respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, the police has noted that members of the public are not adhering to the suggested measures and as such, the Nampol will be taking actions.

It has come to the attention of NamPol that people continue to overcrowd in public places, such as synagogues or churches, restaurants, bars, shebeens as usual, even where the space is limited and thereby ignoring the potential risks of contracting and spreading this Virus. A similar situation has also been noted at open markets and stalls where vendors display and sell their goods under very unhygienic condition,” Ndeitunga bemoaned.

Ndeitunga pleaded to the public to take COVID-19 as a serious threat to the safety and security of Namibia and said NamPol will not shilly-shally to introduce strong measures to enforce the dispersal of crowds at congested places. Therefore members of the public must abstain from overcrowding at business premises, places of worship, events and entertainment areas.

"Should the need for gathering arise, this must be done within the limits of required space and the number must not be more than 50 people at a given time," Ndeitunga stressed.

Owners of restaurants, shebeens, bars and bottle stores are advised to ensure that their clienteles take their food and alcoholic beverages to their own dwellings and avoid gatherings at drinking outlets. Ndeitunga further said that no contact with inmates will be permitted and that any items brought to inmates will be subjected to a comprehensive search and identification of the possessor. “We are appealing to the public to observe these measures and assist the law enforcement agents to carry out their duties without risking their safety and the safety and security of our nation.

The two economic power regions in a lockdown From two to seven Coronavirus cases reported in a period of 2 weeks in Namibia, Government decided to act and not wait until the situation was escalating. Government announced a lockdown of Khomas and Erongo regions.

We can not wait until the next case is confirmed for us to take necessary measures to combat and prevent the spread of COVID19. Waiting until one more case is one too many, said Dr Haufiku.

Internal travels are restricted for a period of 21 days and this will apply to the great Khomas and Erongo regions, effective from Friday, 27 March 2020 until Thursday, 16 April 2020. So travels to and from the country's two main economic regions are restricted until then unless otherwise these travels were special circumstances. Special circumstances include people with health emergencies and the movement of goods and services between the two regions.

Lockdown is more effective when you lockdown the whole country but seeing that all our cases so far are imported and both in Khomas region and that movements between Khomas and Erongo are the highest in the land. Khomas is where the capital is and Erongo is where the Port is. Its logical yet effective to lock the two regions. A portion of Otjozondjupa which is Okahandja and a portion of Hardap which is Rehoboth will be

victims of the lockdown too. Said Dr Haufiku.

Travels to all countries around the world are also banned for a period of 30 days.

Government also closed entry ports for people and customers at Oshikango, Katwitwi, Wenela, Buitepos, Ariamsvlei, Noordoewer, Walvis bay and Lüderitz.

Special circumstances for the entrance of certain persons into Namibia will, however, be considered and approved by the relevant establishments, depending on the nature of travel to be undertaken, and the criticality such mission. Such establishments will bear in mind the impact this could have on the safety and security of Namibia.

Special circumstances include people with health emergencies, Health professionals who need to come in to help us fight COVID-19, Movement of goods and services because we can not close our entries that deliver things such as medical supplies, food items. These are some of the cases that are going to receive special entrance into the country. Said Nangombe the Executive Director at the Health Ministry.

Returning Namibians and permanent residents arriving from high-risk countries are to be subjected to mandatory supervised quarantine for 14 days, at their own cost.

Government signposted that special exemption relates to business, commerce and trade missions and activities only from neighbouring countries on a mutual basis, to facilitate the flow of supplies, goods, commodities and services into Namibia.

All government employees as well as those in the State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and private sector are to work from home for the next 14 days, except those providing critical services.

The categories of affected services will be announced soon.

“COVID-19 is not only a threat to the lives of the Namibian people and the public health system, it also carries negative economic impacts threatening the survival of businesses and consequently jobs and livelihoods. Our key priority is therefore to curb the spread of disease.

While the pandemic that we are faced with today is unprecedented, we are confident that working collaboratively, we will respond effectively to minimise the spread of the virus and loss of lives and restore the health of those affected. the private sector is encouraged to support government's response measures and mobilise resources to combat the further spread of this virus.

“The public is urged to remain at home and avoid public gatherings at places such as bars, shebeens, nightclubs and markets.

President commanded that law enforcement agents must enforce these measures. Cabinet further decreed that private health service providers must inform the Ministry of Health and Social Services immediately upon identifying a suspected case.

“The government fully understands that these are extraordinary measures. They are adopted with the sole purpose of protecting the health, security and safety of the Namibian people. During this difficult period, I call on all Namibians to cooperate with the authorities and to remain calm, in order to ensure that public order is not compromised.

Allow the authorities to work unhindered, Stay at home, avoid crowd gathering and stay safe,” President Geingob said.

Müller makes sport accessible to all Rudi Bowe

Delano Müller, a young sportsman and reigning Namibian Junior Sportsman from Walvis Bay recently started a project to make sport accessible to all.

This 15-year-old boy with a passion to share with disadvantaged sports stars said that he is in a privileged position to practice sports with the support of his parents. He is aware that this privilege is not for other sport loving children in the country.

Therefore he would like to make a difference in their lives.

After outreach programs for young people in several towns of the country he saw that there are many children who cannot practice sports due to lack of equipment, Delano was spurred to start a project collecting used sports equipment and sportswear and then donates it to future sports stars and clubs in disadvantaged communities.

Delano does not have a specific goal for his project but would like to gather as much as possible sport equipment.

As part of this initiative Delano handed over various sports items he collected from donations to youth in Walvis Bay. The items include 13 soccer balls, a rugby ball, soccer boots, caps, sweatbands, goalkeeper gloves, a watch, medals and a golf cart with a full set of clubs that Delano bought with his savings. On the photo: Delano with the recipients of the sports items.

Delano said “The country is facing a difficult time and the youth must to learn to stand together and support each other and that in unity we can face a lot of obstacles let's support and respect each other.”

“To see the joy and the gratitude of the children made such a long-lasting impression in my heart, therefore my plea to the public community and business not only in Walvis Bay but country wide to support this project to help the disadvantaged communities in the country.”

Tokyo 2020 Olympics rescheduled Rudi Bowe

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics was rescheduled as the coronavirus crisis obliterated the world's last major imminent sporting event.

In the present circumstances and based on the information provided by the World Health Organisation (WHO) the International Olympics Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach and the Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe have concluded that the Games of the XXXII Olympiad in Tokyo be rescheduled from July 24-August 9 2020 but not later than summer 2021.

The rescheduling is to safeguard the health of the athletes, everybody involved in the Olympic Games and the international community.

It is the first time in the Olympics' 124-year history that they have been postponed and it is the first break in the four-year cycle for the summer Olympics since the 1940 and 1944 Games were cancelled because of World War Two. Athletes were sad but relieved after weeks of worrying and struggling to train as the world headed into virtual lockdown from the disease that has claimed more than 16,500 lives. National associations and sporting federations worldwide reacted with sadness, relief and mainly goodwill to the rescheduling of the

Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

The rescheduling the Tokyo 2020 Olympics will involve "massive" additional costs, organisers of the Games conceded Thursday as they convened a taskforce to begin working on the "unprecedented" and complex task.

The historic decision to postpone the Games over the coronavirus outbreak leaves organisers with a logistical headache as they work to shift the enormous event to an as-yet-undecided date next year.

Here are some reactions to the decision to reschedule the Tokyo 2020 Olympics: IOC President Thomas Bach, "This Olympic flame will be the light at the end of the tunnel." International Paralympic Committee President Andrew Parsons, "Sport is not the most important thing right now, preserving human life is." U.S. Olympic and Paralympic CEO Sarah Hirshland, "This summer was supposed to be a culmination of your hard work and life's dream, but taking a step back from competition to care for our communities and each other is the right thing to do." World Athletics president Sebastian Coe, "It's by a distance the right decision.

The world is in a really difficult, dangerous situation. Sport can be no

different... just simply it felt wrong to continue along that road given where the rest of the world is at the moment." Alfons Hormann, President of the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB), "It confirms to the world population that everything in sports is also being done to bring the global pandemic under control as best as possible and as soon as possible."

The Olympic flame will stay in Japan. It was also agreed that the Games will keep the name Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020.

Desert FC needs a helping Sharlien Tjambari hand

Eager to support and motivate young boys from staying off the streets and keeping them away from alcohol and drug abuse, Abraham Haimbondi registered a soccer team called Dessert FC, a team which he believes has excellent players who will one day make the National Team.

James Dean Goagoseb from Swakopmund Fight Club with his medal

Alex Bick from Swakopmund Fight Club with her medal

Desert FC was established in 2016 and started with U/11 boys and later the Coach and Founder Haimbondi, decided to focus on the young boys aged 1125. Haimbondi said: “When I started I noticed that most of the young boys were playing street soccer and didn't have a coach, I saw potential in them and being a former soccer player myself I decided to make use of the opportunity, I approached them and started coaching them with the aim of keeping them off the streets and away from alcohol and drug abuse which the youngsters turn to due to boredom because they are unemployed”.

Haimbondi further said, when he started, he had over 30 players and only picked out 25 best players. Last year in September Haimbondi registered his team at the Labour Office and is waitingfor approval from the Swakopmund Municipality.

Although this seems like an easy task to do, Haimbondi faces challenges like any new business. One of the huge challenges that he faces is the fact that 8 of the boys he coaches are speech-impaired, making it difficult for them to communicate with one another.

The team also lacks quality soccer balls, cones, bibs and soccer kits. Haimbondi is pleading with the business sector and members of the community to assist him with any donations in order to keep the team going. He said since he started with coaching the boys, he has been encouraging them and has been there for them every step of the way. “We do not want money as a form of donations; we just need a helping hand. I am a working man and a breadwinner at my house so I help wherever I can, but I need assistance to make sure these boys have a future to look forward to”.

The team trains every day on the open field between Festus Gonteb and Vrede Rede Primary school in Mondesa. Anyone who wants to render assistance can contact Haimbondi at 081 719 8968.
