Late President Hage G. Geingob once referred to the friendship of Brazil and Namibia as that of “neighbours, separated only by the Sea.” Thanks to three decadesofsuccessfulnavalpartnership,BrazilandNamibiahavetrulybecome neighboursunitedbytheAtlanticOcean.

On Monday, 4 March, we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Brazil-Namibia Agreement forNavalCooperation,whichpavedthewayfor Brazil's biggest and strongest naval cooperation inAfrica.

Revised and extended in 2001, the naval agreement allowed for 1,179 Namibian military personnel,comprising90%oftheNavystaff,toreceive training in Brazilian naval institutions within a period of 10 years. Since then, every yearnewcoursesandtrainingsareofferedtothe Namibian Navy, in areas as diverse as cartography,nauticalsciencesandmilitarystrategy

Galp's Mopane Discovery Hype or Reality?

Eileen van der Schyff

In recent months, Portuguese energy giant Galp's exploration activities in Namibia have stirred significant market interest, but doubts lingeroverthe true extent of its Mopane discovery Galp's initialannouncementinearlyJanuaryofanoilfindattheMopane2 well was met with optimism Subsequently, the company commenceddrillingasecondwell,withconfidenceinthepotential ofthediscovery However,concernshavebeenraisedbytheBankof America analysts regarding the perceived overvaluation of the discovery and the broader implications for Galp's financial outlook.

Energy Voice's oil Journalist, Ed Reed reported in a recent article, despite Wood Mackenzie's provisionalestimateof400 million barrels for the Mopane discovery, the market has responded asifGalphadunearthed a mammoth 3 billion barrelsofoil.

This discrepancy in valuation has prompted scepticism, particularly considering the lack of confirmation regarding thesizeandcommercial viability of the find.

Bank ofAmerica's analysis, based on comparable such as Impact Oil and Gas' deal with TotalEnergies on Venus, suggests that the

market's exuberance may be premature While Venus enjoys a high level of confidence, the same cannot be said for Mopane.

Adjusting the valuation to a more conservative USD2perbarrelimplies a discovery size of 750 million barrels, still a significant find but far from the market's currentperception.

Moreover,Galp'sfinancialconstraintsandlack of flexibility raise concernsaboutitsabilityto capitalise on potential growth opportunities in Namibia or Mozambique's LNG sector “With a high breakeven oil price and projected

increases in net debt over the next three years, Galp may face challenges in pursuing its ambitious explorationagenda.”

Galp's intention to reduce its stake in the Namibian license further complicates the situation, potentially undermining its negotiatingpositioninfuture endeavours.

The article furhter reads: “Galp has publicly said it plans to reduce its 80% stake in the Namibian lisence.

The analyst note said this requirement was 'detrimental to its potential future negotiatingpositions.”

That's what spawned the idea for this expedition, and there's good news. We've been privileged to see firsthand the incredible work being done to protect and restore vast tracts of wilderness and the frontline fight against criminal networks that profit from illegal trade in wildlife, logging, and mining We've heard gutwrenching, personal stories of loss from rangers on the front line, alongside uplifting stories of hope that bear witnesstotherevivalhappeninginmanycountriesthanks to proactive governments, and the positive impact it is having on both wildlife and neighboring communities.” The expedition has now reached 15 of the 22 wildlife regions on their list. Starting in the northern tip of the Namib Desert at Iona National Park in southwestern Angola, it has journeyed through nine national parks in Zambia,Zimbabwe,Mozambique,andMalawi;reached the furthest and highest source of the White Nile in the mountainousrainforestsofNyungweinRwanda;tackled a difficult route to two remote wildlife parks in South Sudan; and nearly lost the expedition Defenders to the worstfloodsin20yearsatGarambaNationalParkinthe remotenortheasterncorneroftheDRC.

All4TheBabies to Take on Cape Town Cycle Tour

Iron ladies Michelle Strauss and Michelle Steenkamp will be participatingintheCapeTownCycleTourthisweekend.

Strauss and Steenkamp previously competed in the Nedbank Desert Dash as a four-woman team to raise funds for theRuachElohimFoundation,aregisteredChild Protection Organisation focusing on the awareness and prevention of baby dumping. It also serves as a home that accommodatesandcares for abandoned, neglected, and abused babies.

With just one day left before the Cape Town Cycle Tour, Strauss expresses both excitement and anxiety “This is my second time; Michelle has participated in the CycleTourtwicebefore.

Hailed as the world's largest individually timed cycle race, it's trulyanhonourtobepart of the 46th event and to participate in it for the Ruach Elohim Foundation.”Steenkampadded that she is 'super excited' and nervous as well. “The Cape Town Cycle Tour is, after all, one of the largest timed cycling events in the world, attracting thousands of cyclists. The race brings together cyclists from around the world not only to test

physical endurance but also to celebrate cycling and community spirit. I cannot wait. This will be my third Cape Town Cycle Tour I am really honoured to be able to make a positive impact towardssuchacharitable effort while also engaginginphysicalactivity.”

Both Strauss and Michelle say that they haven't stopped cycling since competing in the Nedbank Desert Dash.

“Although we've been battling with flu and colds, it has been all hands-on deck to remain fit and in shape. Cycling 109km nonstop can be challenging, especially considering Chapmans Peak and Suikerbossie.”

The duo added that they are asking for a N$1.00 donation per kilometre.

“Any other contributions are also more than welcome.”

Strauss added that creating awareness about babydumpinghasbeena challenge in Namibia for a long time. “Ronel and DickPeters,thefounders of the Ruach Elohim Foundation, have put theirheartsouttheretobe a safe haven for these babies. Supporting our cause will ensure they

havefundstocareforthe babies. We have all read abouttheSocialBabiesin the media a while ago, and we are delighted to mention that some of the babies have found a safe place at The Baby Box.

We are grateful to play a part in doing what we love to raise funds and awarenessforTheRuach ElohimFoundation.”

With the addition of the Social Babies, the Ruach ElohimFoundationneeds volunteers to assist, especially during 16:00 and 20:00 They added that creating awareness about the Foundation's work through the Nedbank Desert Dash has been amazing. “This has been to such an extent that we still received donations after the Dash.

The awareness process for the Cape Argus has been done on the same basis,andthemainaimis tocreateawarenessinaid of baby dumping and its prevention. It's been an incrediblejourneyforus!

We have received so muchsupportthroughout andaftertheDash.Asour focus is to create awareness to eradicate baby dumping in Namibia and aidRuachElohim.

The ladies expressed their gratitude to everyone who has supported themthusfar

“Thank you sounds so small in comparison to thesupportanddonations received thus far, but we are so thankful for the support.Westandinawe ofyoursupportandreally can't thank you enough for your support We appreciateyouall!”
