Bringing a baby into the world is without doubt the most wonderful experience any mother encounters. However, giving birth to a baby on the day of the birth of Christ or the first day of a new year is a huge bonus to that. A total of 9 babies were delivered on these two special days in Swakopmund. The nurses at the Swakopmund state hospital confirmed they delivered six babies on 25 December 2019. The first baby was a boy named Simeon Nangolo Jesus Kapalanga. He was born at 00:37 and weighed 4.01kg. The second baby was a girl and she was born at 01.05. She weighed 3.07kg and her name is Hertha Atutala. The third baby delivered at the hospital was a boy, born at 04:00 and weighed 2.8kg. A baby girl weighing 3.38kg and a boy weighing 3.9kg were born at around 10:00 later in the morning. The last of the little ones to arrive on Christmas Day at Swakopmund state hospital was born at 23:21pm and weighed 2.48kg. Cottage Medi Clinic only saw the arrival of little Adrian Ceaser Auchab. He was born at 09:35 and weighed 3.5kg. New Year's Eve brought smiles to two young mothers at the state hospital at Swakopmund. Elizabeth Joshua gave birth to Lotete Joshua at 02:50 on 1 January 2020. The baby girl weighed 3.32kg. Williams Hekandjo was born at 13:49 to Luwisa Ituwa. There were no New Year's babies here either. Meanwhile in Walvis Bay, there were no Christmas babies or New Year's babies at the Welwitschia Private Hospital. Three babies were born at the Walvis Bay state hospital on Christmas Day. Due to an administrative situation, the hospital was unable to provide the names of the little ones by the time of going to press. Three babies were born on New Year's Day at the Walvis Bay state hospital. All three babies are female. For the rest of their lives will share and brag with the fun to have the birth date of 01/01/2020. Desire Nawes gave birth to a 3,3 kg baby girl at 04:20 on 1 January 2020. At 09:17 Maria Fillipus gave birth to baby girl weighing 3,150 kg. At 11:34 Shirley Naobes gave birth to a baby girl weighing 1,7kg. For the Welwitschia Private Hospital there were no births on either Christmas Day or New Year.

Isaac Chikosi Residents and holidaymakers at Swakopmund were treated to an unlikely sight when a large desert elephant was spotted close Swakopmund on 24 December last year. In this very unique picture, a police vehicle is seen trying to drive the elephant back, northwards so that it can re-enter the Ugab River area. Water and feed were placed at strategic points to lure the desert giant back to his natural home, as it unlikely he would have found holiday accommodation in Swakopmund. See related article elsewhere in today's edition of unique creatures of nature that visited the coast this festive season.

Nie almal kom met leë hande tuis nie
Die hengelaars het gemengde gevoelens as jy vra of die vis goed of sleg was hierdie feesseisoen. Daar is dié wat baie goed langs die viswaters gevaar het. Hulle het goed onder die kabeljoue baljaar en kon darem sorg vir vars vis op die kole. Die visslagplek langs die strandmeer op Walvisbaai is deur heelwat hengelaars besoek wat kom vis skoonmaak het. Hier is so ‘n paar foto’s.
Young man commits suicide by hanging The family of the late Ajay Allistar McNab (22), is struggling to come to terms with the untimely death of this young man on New Year's Day. The lifeless body of McNab was discovered hanging from a rope at the old water tank near Swakopmund airport. That was at around 05:00. According to Chief Inspector Daniel Gurirab, McNab was in the company of his twin brother the previous day. They attended a New Year's Eve show. “They walked early this morning from Long Beach to Swakopmund after the New Year's Eve show because they couldn't get any transport. The deceased didn't say anything to his twin brother about what is disturbing him.”, reads the police report. He parted company with his brother and was later discovered where he committed suicide by hanging.

A l t h o u g h fireworks is synonymous with N e w Ye a r celebrations, it r e m a i n s a problem to human safety, pet safety and fire safety. The use of f i re w o r k s t h i s festive season was a cause of concern for both the Namibian Police a n d l o c a l authority law enforcement in all three central coastal towns. “Fireworks remain an area of concern”, the Namibian Police headquarters i n Wa l v i s B a y stated on a media statement. Calling for the general public to be considerate and careful in the use of fireworks. Adding, the criminal prosecution of people under the A r m s a n d Ammunitions Control Act is an option and also future prosecutions under new animal cruelty legislation that is currently debated and processed in Parliament. It has been reported both the Walvis B a y a n d Swakopmund SPCA branches (Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals) have received stray dogs and cats in the immediate hours after midnight 1 January. That is as a direct result of the use of fireworks. Pets, dogs in particular, panic in the event of the use of fireworks because of the noise and also become bewildered if seeing the stripes of light or columns of light in the night s k y. I n m a n y instances the animals would run away from the premises they call home to chase after the light or are scared by the noise and attempt to flee from it. Thanks to good Samaritans these strays are picked up from the streets and taken to the nearest SPCA shelters. Come the first few days after New Year pet owners and their animals are reunited, but it comes at a price for the SPCA which has to invest man hours and resources to care for the animals in the interim. I n Wa l v i s B a y several marine flares were observed lighting up the night sky on New Year. As a fishing town, many
people have m a r i n e pyrotechnics in their possession which is actually only to be used in the event of emergencies at sea when these flares are used to indicate the position of a vessel or boat in distress. U n f o r t u n a t e l y, many of the pyrotechnic emergency devices are never discarded when expired. Instead it is stored at homes to be used as fireworks during New Year. The use of these devices are not only an immediate danger to the person using it, as it has expired and can be unstable. It also poses secondary dangers to bystanders or fire risks where it lands. The use of fireworks have proven at several previous New Year celebrations that it can injure and maim. People have been injured in successive New Year celebrations at the coast by fireworks. The end-results include severe burn injuries, facial injuries or losing fingers or eyesight.
