Trans-Kalahari Railway Line Piquet Jacobs The signing ceremony of the bilateral agreement between Namibia and Botswana for the construction of the Trans-Kalahari Railway (TKR) Line Project took place yesterday morning in the vicinity of the Walvis Bay Bird Island.

The proposed TKR will link Botswana's Mmamabula coalfields with the Walvis Bay Port in Namibia.

The 1 500 km heavy duty railway line will boost trade in Botswana and turn it into a regional trade hub. The estimated capital expenditure for the project amounts to approximately N$100 billion and construction work is expected to stretch over the 2014-2019 period. The process to obtain financing from the private sector in order to secure the development has already commenced. Most of the products used in the construction phase will be sourced locally.

The agreement was signed at a formal and prestige event attended by delegates from Governments, investors and representatives of the business sector.

CEMENTING TIES: The Director General of the National Planning Commission Tom Alweendo and the Minister of Minerals, Energy and Water Resources of Botswana Onkokame Mokaila shake hands after signing the bilateral agreement between Namibia and Botswana for the construction of the Trans-Kalahari Railway (TKR) Line Project yesterday.

The two governments resolved at the highest level that they will strive to ensure that the development of the TKR becomes a reality.

A committee of ministers was appointed by the Namibian President to ensure that the

project materialises.

The involved parties have agreed to establish a dedicated project office in Walvis Bay. Once completed the railway line will afford alternate transportation routes for landlocked SADC

countries such as Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. It will be ideal for exportation of bulky goods destined for Europe, Asia and America and will also serve as relief to the already congested corridors within SADC.

Through the TKR a huge difference for the general populace through employment creation will be made, as well as empowering the citizens in the two countries to play a role in the realisation of the project. It is expected

that the project will transform the economies of the two countries involved.

The signing of the Bilateral Agreement creates legitimate expectation from ordinary citizens of the Continues on page 2

Trans-Kalahari Railway Line CONTINUES FROM PAGE 1 two countries, neighbouring Sub Saharan countries, investors throughout the value chain from the mine to port together with support service industries on either end of the value chain and potential Financiers. It will stimulate economic growth, employment and diversification in the two countries.

According to the Minister of Minerals, Energy and Water Resources of Botswana Onkokame Mokaila, there is an ever growing demand for coal in India and China to meet their growing power needs. The Walvis Bay Commodity terminal as envisaged is expected to handle about 65 million metric tonnes of coal per annum.

Mr Andries Leevi Hungamo, the Permanent Secretary of the National Planning Commission led the proceedings. He pointed out that the solicitation of the bilateral relationship between the two countries paved the way for the facilitation and development of the Trans-Kalahari Railway Line Project and that the deliberation process took quite a while.

Governor of Erongo Region, Mr Cleophas Mutjavikua pointed out that the integration of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) was of huge importance to all citizens of the involved countries and labelled it a milestone that would ensure both cooperative and economic advantages.

Director General of the National Planning Commission Mr Tom Alweendo gave a brief description about the dynamics of the project which is expected to kick-start soon.

He labelled the project as of huge significance for the two neighbouring countries. “Africa is no longer regarded as a dark and hopeless continent, with six of the fastest growing economies in the world on the continent.”

He pointed out that this sentiment comes with challenges and said that the biggest was in terms of

infrastructure related to electricity, roads and access to clean water.

According to Alweendo transport infrastructure is of huge importance for SADC and the realisation have dawned on African countries that more investment towards this specific sector is needed.

The current trade figures between Namibia and Botswana amounts to less than N$300 million (excluding diamonds). Once realised it is expected that the project will lead to a significant increase in trade figures, not just between Namibia and Botswana, but continent wide.

It is also of significance that the project is being undertaken by two governments and this served as proof that the two involved countries have looked beyond a one-centred approach. The project will be executed in collaboration with the Namibian and Botswana private sectors. Alweendo quoted the Zimbabwean ambassador who said “This is a long dream we have been having and now it's happening. When you do not realise your dreams they can turn into a nightmare”.

In conclusion he expressed the hope that the signing ceremony would ensure that the project takes place and said he was looking forward to meet those involved again when they gather to start the construction of the railway line.

Minister of Minerals, Energy and Water Resources of Botswana Onkokame Mokaila, thanked President Hifikepunye Pohamba and President Ian Khama Seretse Khama of Botswana, for taking a personal interest in the project. “Their involvement, commitment and hard work of all the stakeholders involved made the signing of this important agreement possible.” He said that this was an affirmation of the commitment from the two Governments to develop the TransKalahari Railway Line and commodity handling facilities.

Mokaila pointed out that the SADC would come to nothing without crossborder projects which he labelled as of huge importance for landlocked regions.

Mokaila added that notwithstanding environmental challenges associated with coal generated electricity, it is a fact that coal will be a source of fuel for power generation for a long time to come.

In this regard, the development of TKR (TransKalahari Railway) and commodity handling facilities in Walvis Bay will go a long way in facilitating the development of the estimated 212 billion tonnes of the coal resource from Botswana towards power generation.

He further acknowledged the challenge which lies ahead for the two Governments. “This massive and expensive project will not be without problems. The long-term economic benefits are more important than just availing opportunities. We should therefore ensure that investors are comfortable and focus on the long-term awards of the project” The Namibian Minister of Works and Transport, Mr Erkki Nghimtina, delivered the closing remarks and expressed his appreciation towards all involved. “Guided by our Constitution, the Namibian Foreign Policy is based on mutual respect and benefits between member states and what we have experienced today; the signing of the agreement on the TransKalahari Railway Line Project is a testament to that fact,” he said.

“Two days before we are to celebrate the 24th Anniversary of our Independence, I am reminded of the generosity of the Botswana people who have hosted us during the struggle for liberation and who served as a safe corridor during the difficult and dark days in the fight for our freedom. We will for always be grateful for that,” Nghimtina added.

Swakopmund Mass Housing Project on par Marshallino Beukes Briefing the media and public at a press conference, Swakopmund Mayor, Juuso Kambueshe, informed attendees that the town is more than ready for the National Mass Housing project.

The meeting, which took place yesterday morning, was conducted under the theme, “Inspiration through aspiration” and the municipality's progressive activities, achievements, feedback on their 5 year strategic plan and also an update on mass housing development were presented. The National Mass Housing Project was initiated during 2012 and the Government's aim is to construct 185 000 housing units by the year 2030, in order to provide affordable housing to the Namibian people. To date the National housing backlog is estimated at around 100 000 units and this number is growing at an alarming rate.

The first phase of the project is to be implemented during 2013/2014, which constitutes pilot projects, targeting urban capital centers, of which Swakopmund is part of. More than 3 000 houses will be constructed in the DRC and according to mayor Kambueshe the bulk services are on schedule. Kambueshe also noted that Swakopmund is the only town in the country

which can provide more than 3000 erven for this purpose. He made use of the opportunity to lash out at the DRC Concerned Group, saying that the municipality is aware that their motives are political and they are deliberately trying to mislead the community, with the aim to derail progress. “I personally believe that the people that have been driving this destructive agenda owe the community of Swakopmund an apology”, he noted. He expressed his gratitude towards the entire administration of the Swakopmund Municipality, which he described as “the rock behind their successes”.

Rotary Interact Club donates blood Piquet Jacobs The Rotary Interact Club of Walvis Bay took the initiative to spread awareness on the importance of donating blood.

The club gathered at the Blood Transfusion Services of Namibia office at the Welwitschia Medical Centre and surprised the staff with their excitement and enthusiasm to donate blood. Unfortunately not everyone was able to donate, but it's the thought that counts. Charmaine van Wyk delivered a welcoming address to all the club members and encouraged them to donate blood, and to spread the word of the importance of donating blood, donating a life.

Train accident victim surprised Mavourlene Gaes with stationery Benita Johannes (15), the grade 9 pupil of Duinesig High School who was maimed by a train in the industrial area of Walvis Bay last year, received stationery from a family in Kuisebmond.

Mr Saltiel Kalola says that although he works for the Municipality of Walvis Bay, his reason for this donation is personal. “When we heard the story we thought she had sadly passed away but were pleased to find out later that she is indeed still alive and felt it was necessary to offer the little we have as a form of encouragement for her,” he added.

He also noted that as human beings we might not always understand Gods' way of doing things but said he believes this was a test by God and that whatever happened was meant to happen.

Amongst donating books, pencils, scientific

calculator the Kalola family also gave Benita a bible and held a moment of prayer.

“It's not about the donation but the encouragement we are offering her in the form of this donation” he said. Benita had no other words to say but “thank you very much”.

This young lady although having gone through so much, as the accident that caused her to lose her left arm, left leg and right foot, is facing life with enthusiasm.

When asked how she was doing, Benita answered with a bright smile on her face that she is doing well but describes the whole trauma she went through as scary.

The Windhoek State Hospital has offered to provide an artificial left arm and leg and according to Benita's mother Mrs Hilma Johannes they will be travelling to Windhoek, as soon as the process gets started.

Namibiërs uitgedaag om 'n halfmiljoen vir kanker in te samel Die Lubbe Motor Group cc het 'n ieder en elk uitgedaag om deel te wees van 'n reuse fondsinsamelingsprojek en minstens 'n halfmiljoen Namibiese dollars vir kinders met kanker in te samel. “N$500 000 is nie baie nie as elkeen van ons 'n bydrae maak,” het Etienne Lubbe, besturende lid van die Lubbe Motor Group cc, tydens die bekendstelling van die projek by Huis Acacia in Windhoek gesê.

Die projek, Tractors4Chica, behels 'n twee dae lange reis teen 'n slakkepas met vier trekkers vanaf Windhoek tot op Swakopmund. Die publiek en maatskappye kan die inisiatief ondersteun deur hulleself tot 'n per km borgskap te verbind. Alle opbrengste sal aan Chica Namibia, die Kankervereniging van Namibië (CAN) se ondersteuningsgroep vir kinders met kanker, geskenk word.

Tractors4Chica is nie net 'n fondsinsamelingsprojek nie, maar ook 'n poging om meer bewustheid oor kanker en die voorkoming daarvan te skep.“Die vroeë waarneming van die simptome is kern om die siekte te beveg. Daarbenewens is dit te maklik om net geld te gee. Soms moet ons ongemak verduur om ons aan ander se swaarkry te herinner,” het Etienne, wat self ook aan die reis gaan deelneem, gesê.

Volgens Reinette Koegelenberg, die hoof uitvoerende beampte van die CAN, is een van die organisasie se

grootste uitdagings om mense op voetsoolvlak oor die siekte in te lig.

“Hierdie projek kan ons help om 'n klomp mense te bereik wat nie daaglikse toegang tot die internet of koerante het nie. Dit is 'n wonderlike geleentheid om na mense uit te reik en seker te maak hulle is ingelig oor kanker en die waarskuwingstekens daarvan.

Bewusmaking was dus 'n groot deel van die projekbeplanning.”

Die konvooi vertrek Donderdag, 20 Maart, om 05:00 uit Windhoek en sal teen ongeveer 30 km per uur kus toe ry.

Hulle sal op elke dorp en verskeie punte op pad stop om geleenthede vir skenkings te skep. Engen Namibia borg die brandstof en die span sal ook by elke Engen-vulstasies op pad stop. Hulle beoog om die eerste aand naby Wilhelmstal oor te slaap waar dié boerevereniging 'n stuk kampeergrond beskikbaar gestel het. Ander maatskappye en instansies wat reeds die projek ondersteun is Hitradio Namibia, 1 FM en Spar Swakopmund.

Twee van die vier trekkers wat vanaf Windhoek tot op Swakopmund vir kanker bevegting gaan ry.

“Ons vertrek die volgende oggend weer vroeg om tot by Arandis te ry waar ons beplan om die tweede aand oor te slaap. Ons behoort die Saterdagoggend omstreeks 10:00 in Swakopmund te wees. Die konvooi sal ten alle tye 'n 500 m spasie tussen elke trekker handhaaf om ander voertuigbestuurders in ag te neem en nie die verkeersvloei te ontwrig nie. Voorts sal veiligheidsvoertuie die span vergesel,” het Etienne verduidelik.

Volgens hom is daar reeds sprake om die projek in die toekoms na die suide, ooste en noorde van die land uit te brei.

Chica Namibia is 'n nie-winsgewende instansie wat deur vrywilligers, soms ouers van kinders wat aan kanker ly, bedryf word.

Die organisasie beywer hom tot die ondersteuning van jong kankerlyers wat se lewens deur moeilike en langtermyn behandeling teen die siekte ontwrig word asook bewusmakingsveldtog te oor die siekte. Chica Namibia staan kinders en hul families by deur onder meer tot hul reiskoste en akkommodasie by te dra wanneer hulle na en van Windhoek moet reis om behandeling te ontvang. Families wat nie

aan 'n mediese fonds behoort nie word ook ondersteun.

Die CAN is ook by Namibië se landelike gemeenskappe betrokke. “Ons besoek van tyd tot tyd daardie areas wat ver vanaf 'n kliniek geleë is en dan is alle dames vanaf die omliggende plase welkom om 'n papsmeer of ondersoek vir borskanker te laat doen. In hierdie opsig kan ons ongelukkig nie die mans help nie aangesien 'n mediese dokter

hul ondersoeke moet behartig, maar ons kan raad gee oor die voorkoming van kanker,” het Reinette gesê.

Sy het boereverenigings uitgenooi om haar te kontak om reëlings in die verband te tref en boere en hul werknemers gemaan om veral teen velkanker te waak. “Velkanker is en bly die mees algemeenste vorm van kanker in Namibië.

Onthou dit is nie net ligte velkleure wat velkanker kan opdoen

nie ons is almal daaraan blootgestel. Boere en hul werkers behoort langmou hemde, hoede en sonbrille te dra en sonskerm te smeer wanneer hulle in die buitelig is,” het sy aanbeveel.

Diegene wat 'n bydrae te maak tot die Tractors4Chica projek kan hul Facebook-blad by Tractors4CHICA besoek vir meer inligting of die CAN by 061 237 740 kontak om skenkings te doen.

“Man van Stof” besoek Walvisbaai ten bate van Shotokan Karate Coenita Balt Adam Tas se diep rasper stem en unieke skrywershand is 'n wenkombinasie wat Namibiërs laat saamsing het.

‘n MAN WAT KAN: Adam Tas

Adam het opgetree ten bate van geldinsameling vir die Walvisbaai Shotokan Karate Klub se wêreldbeker kompetisie wat plaasvind vanaf 14 tot 19 Mei 2014 in Terni, 'n klein dorpie naby Rome, Italië.

Die Namibiese delegasie bestaan uit 65 th lede wat die “7 JSKA World Karate Championship” gaan bywoon. Drie senior bestuurslede /instrukteurs is ingesluit in die groep naamlik Sensei Willem Burger van Windhoek en Shotokan Karate hoof van Namibië, Sensei Wikus Oberholster van Walvisbaai en Sensei Valdemar Swart van Swakopmund. Dit is 'n wêreldwye kompetisie om die wêreld se beste karateka te bepaal.

Die Karate Wêreldbeker groep is reeds vroeg in 2013 geïdentifiseer en het reeds begin voorberei met die oog op hierdie groot geleentheid. Namibië het al suksesvol in Pretoria, Manhattan, New York, en Cancun in Mexiko deelgeneem. Elke wêreldbeker kompetisie het kampioene vir Namibië opgelewer.

In Cancun, met 'n klein delegasie van 24 wat bestuurs-lede en afrigters ingesluit het, het 6 wêreldkampioene verskeie silwer en brons medaljes ingepalm.

Tydens hierdie kompetisies word ook 'n "Masters Course and Referee Course for Juniors, Seniors and Veterans”, aangebied. Groot name soos Abe Sensei en Ngaki Sensei neem hierdie afrigting waar wat ongelooflike blootstelling vir jong karate studente bied.

“Adam se optrede in Windhoek, Walvisbaai, Swakopmund en Otjiwarongo het meer as 1 000 Namibiërs gelok”, sê die organiseerder Belinda Oberholster.

Almal was dit eens dat Adam passievol en uit sy hart uit skryf en sy oorspronklike komposisies is boeiend gevul met

verhale van mense wat hy op sy lewenspad ontmoet het. Sy musiekstyle sluit in Rock, Folk-, Blues-, en Country musiek. Hy het al 'n hele paar albums opgeneem, onder andere Ben Bicycle, Springbok Radio, Memories in 'n Menthol, Storm van liefde en die nuutste, “Man van stof”. Man van stof bestaan uit 15 snitte en dit sluit in Lappies Kombers, 'n Man soos my pa, 'n Boerseun se droom en Liefde maak op 'n country song, om 'n paar te noem. Die album sal teen einde April of begin Mei plaaslik beskikbaar wees.

Adam het sy plek in die “Guinness Book of World Records” verdien nadat hy in 2007 binne 24 uur by 41 verskillende plekke opgetree het.

Die presasie was duidelik nadat hy onder luide applous seepglad deur akkoorde op sy ghitaar gegly het. Adam sing sonder agtergrond musiek wat sy vernuf met sy ghitaar laat uitstaan.

In Walvisbaai het Adam die gehoor beslis met sy musiek aangegryp, veral toe hy oor rugby begin sing het. Hy het die aand probeer afsluit, maar was deur 'n groep 'encores' terug voor die mikrofoon. Na sy laaste liedjie het mnr Traugot Sachse Adam se ghitaar opgeneem en die toeskouers begelei terwyl almal saam vir hom die ou “Suidweslied” gesing het, nadat Adam gevra het dat iemand dit asseblief vir hom moet sing. Adam was dan ook bederf deur Ziggi in Otjiwarongo wat vir hom die Duitse weergawe van die lied gesing het.

Adam stel definitief nie teleur nie en sy naamgenoot en vader van geskrewe Afrikaans van die 1600's, sou trots gewees het oor die werk wat uit Adam se pen vloei.

Adam Tas is beslis 'n naam wat menige Afrikanerssprekendes nog volksbesit sal maak.

I know that God has placed me on this journey to transform me into the woman He has destined me for.” She further explained that they are currently 55 semi-finalists and the next step is selecting the top 20 finalists on 12 April 2014 at the Emperors Palace in Johannesburg at the glamorous CANSA Ball event, a fundraising event by the 55 semi-finalists for the CANSA Association. Estrolita further added, “As the Winelands Winter Queen 2013 I was automatically a semi-finalist in the Mrs South Africa 2014 pageant, I decided to accept the opportunity and be part of this prestigious event as this to me is an achievement on its own. I would like to further embark on the platform by promoting my 'Butterfly Project’ and charities I support.”

This talented 30-yearold born Namibian grew up in Walvis Bay where she spent most of her childhood but now resides in Cape Town.

Her first "big break" in the industry happened when she entered her first pageant: the Winelands Winter Queen 2013, as a married woman and mother.

Estrolita shared that her favourite "job" so far has been her "charity" work - seeing the joy on people's faces and their thankfulness is priceless which makes her want to work harder in helping and providing for them and others.

Naturally being a model, a lot of travelling is involved, and dealing with this can be strenuous, Estrolita shared, “I enjoy travelling, but I don't like being away from my family for too long.”

Estolita loves spending time with her family and friends, she shared, “I love cooking and entertaining guests and with a husband who is a "social butterfly", we are always having guests around.

I enjoy quality time with my husband and daughters, my daughters and I enjoy the outdoors so we do lots of exploring on the weekends. I enjoy and look forward to "date nights" with my husband - we usually eat out, I love good food and enjoy conversing and relaxing with him, he is my best friend and biggest fan!”Estrolita shared that motivating the youth is her passion. She continued saying, “I know the pressure and struggles of being a teenager.

I was bullied at school and have been through many trials and tribulations in my life but I did not allow it to overpower me, I chose to live and make the best of the situation and life. This was a stepping stone which motivated me to become a stronger person and I want to help youth which are fighting these battles on their own.” She continued saying, “The charity work I am currently involved in - feeding people living on the street, taking care of the elderly, empowering abused women and children and promoting my "Butterfly Project".” Estrolita added that what she enjoys most as a beauty queen is meeting and getting to know and helping amazing people, but the most important aspect for Estrolita is being a blessing to those in need, changing and saving lives.

Estrolita believes that the key to success in being a beauty queen is being confident, having the will to succeed, having a strong personality and a heart of gold. She continued saying, “The best advice I was given was, "Go big or go home." If you really want to do something you are passionate about put everything into it or rather leave it.” When asked where she sees herself in five years she confidently said, “I see myself as an accomplished businesswoman, mogul and motivational speaker.

I would also love to own an establishment where I can empower abused women and children plus see the success of the "Butterfly Project".

Lastly and most importantly seeing God's plan for my life unfold, Him directing my steps and leading me.” Estrolita shared her advice to young aspiring beauty queens, “Stay true to yourself, be the best you, you can be.

Do not underestimate yourself by comparing yourself with others. It is our differences that make us unique and beautiful.”

As Estrolita is currently a semi-finalist in the Mrs South Africa 2014 pageant, she needs all the support from her Namibian friends and family she can get.

Namibians cannot vote per sms from Namibia, therefore a new campaign was opened whereby people from other countries can vote via Facebook and Twitter.

These are the easy steps to follow: Facebook: Go to Mrs South Africa Page, like the page. Go to Estrolita's picture and like her picture.

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste Ein biekie Südwester Deutsch!

Neulich erhielt ich eine Mail von einer guten Bekannten, die eine Gästefarm betreibt im waschechten Südwester Deutsch, die ich hier, mit ihrer Erlaubnis, anonym wiedergebe. Viel Spaß!

Jes Ja, ja, ich denk’ mos net so, man kann sich auch an kleinem kak aufreiben. Seit ich ein fämily-Mitglied verloren hab, kommen mir alltägliche Probleme umso kleiner vor. Viele Leute verstehen das nicht.

Ich frag mos morgens

Jinne, diese Toeries könn’ klagen. Jesslaik, die soll’ n tog net mit ihr’ m poepol zuhause bleiben!

land sind se ne Null, und hier try’n se, wer zu sein, indem se dich rumdonnern.

Die checken wir sofort aus, aber die try’ n die anderen Gäste dann aufzustochern, damit die auch was zu Klagen haben. Bleib mit deim holl zu Hause, wenn du moeilik bist und plag mich nicht mit der negativen Einstellung!!! Das Leben ist teilweise be-sch….n genug, da freu ich mich doch über Jeden, der mir was Lustiges erzählen kann und der ein sonniges Gemüt hat.

Stör dich nicht an diesen moeiliken Leuten!. Die P.... is mos net so moeilik. Die jobbt tog in der alten Peter Müller-Straße. Total verjapied und snaaks, solche Leute muß man net lassen.

Stör dich auch nicht an Es ist gar nicht so einfach mit unserer der C....... Die’s moets Sprache! net oudtyds. Ich hoffe immer die Gäste, am Ham grad wieder so’ n nicht, du ärgerst dich.

Hallo, wir sind von Ärzte ohne Grenzen. Können wir hier im Dorf helfen?

Pappa, was gibt’s zum Abendessen?

Hot Doc’s!

Ja, wenn ihr alle zu uns auf die Farm kommt, können wir lekka wandern. Die, die vrotten wollen, sollen das machen und die anderen können ne klene staptoer machen.

Will deine Ma miskien auch kommen? Klomp Leute sind da. Ich mail dir die details. Find’ ma bei ihr raus, ob sie auch kommen will, dann organize ich alles für sie Wenn sie aber jacked-up mit Computer ist, kann ich ihr das auch direkt mailen, sag net, ne?

Locker vom Hocker Sensibel und ,,Sensible”

Liebe Küstenleser, In meinem Leben begegne ich immer mal wieder einem Menschen, der sich selbst oder sein Kind als zartbesaitet tituliert. ,,Meine Tochter ist ein Sensibelchen”, heißt es dann zum Beispiel. ,,Die muss man mit Samthandschuhen anpacken.” Oder aber jemand reagiert auf irgendeinen äußeren Faktor mit den Worten: ,,Ich bin sehr sensibel!” So genannte Mimöschen, habe ich

,,Jetzt hab’ich schon wieder Penspiepen, weil Frauchen immer so besig iss. Hat nie Zeit für mich, iss dauernd die moer in und ignoriert mich pläin. Keine kaans auf eine Streicheleinheit in diesem Haus, wo alle net hakkahanna machen. Ein Katzenleben ist wrachtach kein Zuckerschlecken.

Und ich bin doch so ein Sensibelchen!”

erfahren, sind aber meist nur sich selbst gegenüber empfindsam und nehmen nicht unbedingt gleichzeitig Rücksicht auf die Verletzbarkeit des anderen.

Deshalb bevorzuge ich es, wenn einer von sich sagen kann, dass er ,,sensible” ist. Wenn dieses englische Wort sich vom Klang und der Buchstabenkombination her auch kaum von dem deutschen Begriff sensibel unterscheidet, so hat es doch eine wesentlich andere Bedeutung. Das Englische ‘sensible’ kombiniert nämlich das Meerdorfer Musik- Vernünftig- und SinnLiebe Freunde!

fordern! Wir lesen in der Zeitung, dass ein Mensch verstorben ist, den wir vielleicht mal gesehen haben oder flüchtig kannten, der uns allerdings nicht nahe stand. Reagieren wir automatisch, wie es von uns erwartet wird, mit Schock, Trauer und/oder Empathie, sind wir in den Augen des Herdentieres in einer Gesellschaft sensibel - obwohl die Reaktion alles andere als ,,sensible” ist. Horchen wir aber in uns

um den Toten oder seine Angehörigen, oder richtet sich meine tieferliegende Reaktion nicht eher auf mich selbst: ,,Zum Glück sind ich und meine Familie/ Freunde nochmal davongekommen!”

Leider hemmen gerade die Medien den so wichtigen Blick nach innen und die Formung dessen, was ich einfach mal ganz vorsichtig unsere Persönlichkeit bzw. unseren Charakter nennen möchte.

Inwiefern? werden Sie sich vielleicht fragen.

Nun, weil wir täglich mit Hunderten von grässlichen Begebenheiten konfrontiert werden, die uns in mundgerechten Häppchen und gerade noch verdauungsverträglichen KurzInfos gereicht werden - kurz genug, dass wir sie lesen, aber nicht lang genug, um sie wirklich gedanklich zu verarbeiten. Die Kürze und Menge dieser Schreckensnachrichten sorgen dafür, dass wir alles wieder so schnell wie möglich vergessen, weil unser Gehirn nicht dafür konzipiert ist, so viele Todesfälle, Naturkatastrophen und Unglücksfälle zu betrauern und zu verinnerlichen. Das Resultat ist ein peripheres Wahrnehmen von schrecklichen Dingen, die in der Welt passieren, die wir dann mit einem oberflächlichen, bedeutungslosen ,,Ach, wie furchtbar’’ in die Katakomben unseres Kurzzeitgedächtnisses verbannen.

Aber ich verlieren mich schon wieder viel zu sehr im Labyrinth meiner Gehirnwindungen. Was will ich eigentlich sagen? Ich glaube eher an ,,sensible” als an sensible Menschen, weil sie Ehrlichkeit und Entwicklung bedeuten, weil sie weniger im Ego gefangen sind, einen Abstand zu sich selbst haben und einen knallharten Blick sowohl nach innen als auch nach außen werfen können.

hinein, analysieren unsere Gefühlsduselei und sagen ehrlich und ,,sensible”: ,,Mei, bin ich froh, dass ich noch am Leben bin bzw. dass es nicht mein Sohn oder meine Tochter ist, der/die da umgekommen ist!”, dann sind wir hartherzig. Ist es nicht so? Wenn wir bereit sind zur Selbstanalyse, werden wir erkennen, dass wir den Tod eines Menschen, der uns im Leben nichts bedeutet hat, nicht wirklich betrauern, und dass wir nur deshalb schockiert sind, weil die Gesellschaft von uns solch eine Reaktion erwartet. Wer von sich selbst also meint, dass er ein feinnerviges Sensibelchen ist, sollte einfach alles nochmals überdenken und sich fragen: ,Ist mein Gefühl von Mitleid, Schock usw. wirklich ehrlich, oder reagiere ich so, weil man so reagieren sollte und weil mir meine Reaktion die Anerkennung der Ge- Ihre sellschaft verschafft?

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste Hour of Music an der NHS Swakopmund (sk) Wie jedes Jahr war am Samstag eine Stunde der Musik in der Aula der Namib High School zu hören, die von Schulleiter Ernest Olivier eröffnet wurde. Jung und Alt kamen zusammen, um sich an den Klängen verschiedener Swakopmunder Ensembles zu erfreuen. Ob BigBand, Meerdorfer Musikschule, das neue StreicherSeptett, Trio Feminale oder Cgals, es gab für jeden etwas.

Sogar ein junger Geigensolist trat auf!

Die neunjährige Camilla Olivotto aus Windhoek genießt die Namibdünen vor Swakopmund.

Wilna Liebenberg und ihre Cgals sangen ein Ave Maria, das afrikanische Lied Meguru und ,Daar kom die Alibama’. Ihr Gesang war eher verhalten und eine stimmliche Wohltat. Von links: Louise Vogel, Imelda Naobes, Irma Kruger, Gisela Moisel, Emma Narises und Elrie Pieterse.

Worte der Woche

Die unpolitischen Farben hingegen rufen Entzücken hervor.

Es ist ein Kreuz mit den Parteien.

Im Nebel, das Parteiprogramm.

Politskandale, Schweinereien.

Man zeigt sich gern als Unschuldslamm.

Was immer zählt, ist die Prognose.

Man rechnet hoch und glaubt der Zahl.

Und hofft, es geht nicht in die Hose.

Und davon singt so manche Wahl.

Es wandert stets der 'Schwarze Peter', von links nach rechts, von braun nach grün.

Es schwankt das Stimmungsbarometer, und es wird seine Kreise zieh'n.

Das Stimmenvieh, nicht zu beneiden.

Parteien rufen auf zur Tat. Es fällt so schwer, sich zu entscheiden.

Gefordert jeder Demokrat.

Roman Herberth, 2013

V.l. Christa Lambrechts, Christine Meintjes und Heinz Czech machten Teil des Streich-Septetts aus. Gespielt wurden eineArie aus Händels ,Rinaldo’, der ,Reigen seliger Geister’von Glück und ein Andrea von Wietersheim, eine Ex-Schülerin Menuett von Boccerini. Das Streich-Septett besteht erst seit einigen von Dörte Witte, spielte auch mit.

Special of the week

Interestingly, all of these cars come in at under 4.0litres/ 100km, which means at current prices, it will cost you roughly R51 to cover 100km, or 50c a kilometre.

Without trying to create peace in the Middle East, buying one of these cars is about the best thing you can do to lower your future fuel consumption.

VW Polo 1.2 TDi BlueMotion and VW Golf 1.6Tdi Bluemotion The Polo wins it with an average of 3.4 litres/ 100km, but I’ve added the bigger sibling from the group, which is astonishingly just behind its smaller counterpart at 3.8 litres/100km.

The Polo will set you back R205,000, which isn’t exactly a cheap exercise, but it’s a well-built, comfortable run around. It is however the least interesting to drive of possibly all the cars here, but that’s the price you pay for ultimate efficiency.

down here in the efficiency wars. The V40 is one of my favourite new cars – stylish, safe, comfortable and a great cruiser. At 3.6litres/ 100km, I would say you’ll only get close to that on the open road, as you’ll find yourself asking a lot of the engine in the urban environment. But at R286,000, this is a solid option packed with tech that ticks many, many boxes, and makes a handsome alternative to the usual C-Segment players.

Ford Fiesta 1.6TDCi The new Fiesta is a very good little car indeed.

Ford have ploughed money into their new 1.0litre petrol, which really is blazing a trail, but its diesel cousin still ousts it at an average of 3.6litres/100km. The Fiesta 1.6TDCi is also a very fun drive, although of course the more fun you have, the more fuel you burn. With great infotainment functionality as standard, at R184,100, the Fiesta is a companion you could get very attached to indeed.

not a powerful motor by any means, at 230Nm it does have healthy torque, which should make it at least interesting in the acceleration stakes. At 3.7litres/100km on average, the DS3 in particular is a very stylish way of saving cash at the pumps, while the C3 with 5 doors is a lot more practical. Prices for the C3 start at R219,100, and the DS3 starts at R251,900.

Toyota Auris Hybrid Toyota Yaris Hybrid T h e t w o T o y o t a ’s achieve exactly the same figures on paper, at 3.8litres/100km.

Having driven the Yaris HSD though, I would say you have a better chance of achieving that in the Auris. The Yaris has to work very hard to get up hills, and seems to rely on the petrol motor a bit more than I thought necessary. I may have a slightly heavier right foot, so perhaps if you do release your inner pensioner, you will do just fine. The Auris comes in at R273,000 with the Yaris at R230,600. If telling your drum circle that you’ve just bought a

Hybrid is important to you, the Toyota is a winner.

Peugeot 208 1.6 HDi Active More French efficiency from the Peugeot but from a bigger motor, which means the 208 has a bit more go to match the show. The new 208 is very handsome indeed, with a super modern touchscreen interface and great rear space that frankly embarrasses cars like the new Renault Clio. At 3.8 litres/100km, the little Pug is a super little run around. Prices start at R190,300.

Audi A1 1.6 TDi With the same oily bits as the Polo, the A1 is a very stylish way of paying more for efficiency. If outright cost saving is important (which I suppose is the point of this article) you could just buy the Polo 1.6TDi (SA car of the year for 2011) for R235 900 and save a good few grand over the R249 500 Audi A1. The Audi on paper achieves slightly better consumption at 3.8 litres/100km to the Polo’s 4.2litres/100km, but you’d have to drive to Melbourne and back

(very slowly) to reclaim that price difference.

Renault Megane 1.6Dci The Megane runs on a great, sporting chassis, it’s a big comfy 5 door and looks very good in my humble opinion.

With fuel economy figures of 4.0litres/ 100km, this is a very attractive fuel saver at R274,900. You could very easily use this as a daily run around and as well as eat up the longdistance miles. The Renault comes with TomTom live navigation built-in, to help avoid those traffic jams.

Mercedes Benz A180 Cdi Well this is interesting.

A three-pointed star mingling with the fuelsippers.

But Merc’s new generation diesels are very good indeed, wrapped up in a seriously attractive package. The new A-Class is a super looking piece of kit, with a great sporting interior and loads of new tech as standard.

At R300 000, its not the cheapest way to buy your way into fuel saving, but you’ll be chuffed with yourself

every time you drive past a shop window.

What a dilemma. No one said living for efficiency would be easy.

Lexus CT200h and Toyota Prius Seems fitting that we’re wrapping up this list with the Prius.

The car that invented economy-themed smugness is still mixing it with the best of them, but now you can buy the same tech in the form of the very stylish Lexus Ct200h.

Both provide that eerie but wonderful feeling of cruising around on full electric mode, while the petrol engine kicks in seamlessly when needed. Of all the cars here, the Toyota Hybrids make you feel most like you’re driving something from the future, and I suppose that has value in and of itself.

The Prius comes in at R342 000 with figures of 4.1litres/ 100km, and if the CT200h achieves the same but will set you back another R28 000, which could be used to buy a lot of fuel for your Prius.

Next Generation Porsche Panamera To Be Equipped With New V8 And V6 Engines * Cars.co.za It has been revealed that Porsche plans to equip its secondgeneration of the Panamera with allnew V6 and V8 engines.

According to the report, the Porsche Panamera will ride on the new MSB platform and will feature its own new V8 engine that will apparently be sportier than Volkswagen offerings.

MSB will underpin sporty and luxurious front-engine models with both rear and four-wheel-drive, largely from Porsche and possibly Bentley in 2017.

The report further mentions that the MSB platform is being developed to meet high-speed performance standards and include high-strength

steel and lightweight aluminium components.

In addition to riding on a Volkswagenderived platform, the

next Panamera is said to borrow most of its electrical components from its parent company in order to benefit from eco-

nomies of scale.

The same structure could presumably be used on Bentley models as well as in a number of Audi

vehicles inclu-ding the A4 and A8.

Porsche will also reportedly expand the Panamera family with a two-door variant

that has a soft and/or hard top roof and will be based on the same platform The second generation Porsche Pana-

mera is expected to arrive in the second half of 2016 before going on sale later that year or early 2017.

Rossmund Golf Club Weekly News Hi there from Rossmund - sun is setting and we had a great day.

Saturday 15 March we had an old faithful Ray Fitzpatrick as our sponsor - although he was not 100% - handling a bad dose of flu he still managed to pull out all the stops. We thank him and Weir Minerals for their continuous support of golf at Rossmund.

Sunday 16 March the Sages were out in full force with a field of 24 players. The sponsor was Cornerstone Guesthouse - with Margot & Peter on hand at the prize giving - we thank them for their ongoing support of Sages - scores were good in a well contested competition.

There was 1 x 2-club from Jacque - he is making a habit of this Nearest to the pins on

Quote for the week: "It's good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling"

Walvis Bay Golf Club News One hundred and twenty three players supported the Walvis Bay Private High School Fundraiser.

The event was made possible by AVIS/Zeda Cars Sales once again, standing in as main sponsor for 8 years in a row. AVIS/Zeda Car Sales promised to be back next year for this prestigious event, supporting our local school.

With a American Scramble format, all teams had an even change to walk away with top honours as adjusted handicaps was used. Play started early morning as the youngsters set off on their round. By 10h00 the first teams finished their first nine holes and many teams still had to tart their respective rounds. Lunch was served early and some teams took time to better their putting on the practice greens and other rather opted for a few cold ones before they started their

35

second 9.

All fears that the players will not finish before sunset was set aside as all teams finished well before the desired time.

Willie had enough time to finish all the admin and fines for the respective teams and players to start prize giving.

During the day photographs was taken of all teams and some action photo's that can be viewed on the club Facebook page as well as the Schools page.

Have look for action pictures of yourself.

All teams were winners, the school made good money and it could only be done by you the player supporting a well-organised event that is close to all our hearts.

A big thank you to AVIS/ Zeda Car Sales and all their staff that travelled from Windhoek. We certainly enjoy your company and look forward to see you again next year. Willie van Zyl, thanks for organizing this event. Jy is ‘n yster

“The winning team should be labeled the” three gorillas”. Philip Vorster, Duane Sanders and Jason Barnard rewrote the record books by playing a 51 nett.

The previous record was 55.

It has been said many a time, these three gorillas have ridiculous handicaps, but on the day still played well.

Congratulations, hope you are up for a defense next year with new handicaps.

Last Week end a pupil of WBPHS, Neil Theron, won the Oranjemund Spergebied Open. Certainly a great performance from our local youngster that outplayed many senior players of Namibia and South Africa taking part.

Namibia also won the Namaqua Challenge that was played on Friday 14 March comfortably.

Wednesday 12 MarchCar Bath Last Wednesday Chris van Rensburg of Car Bath sponsored the competition.

Chris opted for some nice certificates this to honour the winners and the looser. It was something different and we at the club appreciate new initiative. Chris said he will sponsor every three months.

1st Luandre Duvenhage on 24 points, 2nd Pieter van Aarde, 3rd Willie Venter. Wooden spoon, Emile Vilbert, once again! Wat gaan aan broer?

Friday is a public holiday.

The club will be open.

Members should note that the suppliers of soft drinks cannot supply goods. We struggle to find Coke Light, Coke Zero and TAB. All efforts were used to keep the products on the shelf. We even bought in Henties Bay at higher prices to have it available for you, but now we cannot find these products. Be patient.

Saturday will be an individual stableford, spon-sored by the club.

See you in the fairway.

Big expectations for Municipality's Sport Weekend Marshallino Beukes The Swakopmund Municipality is hosting the annual Mayoral Multi-sport Fun Weekend tomorrow and Saturday and everyone is invited to join in on the fun.

According to Mr Rafael Aluteni of the municipality's Sport and Recreation Department, this event usually take place during November each year, but seeing that the Independence Celebrations were shifted to 5 April this year, they decided to move it to 21 and 22 March.

Aluteni also commented that only one sport code (football) was usually presented, but this year other sporting codes, such as netball, chess, volleyball (mixed), basketball (3 on 3), as well as mancala African stone game and ring board game will also make part of the event. The only requirement for participating teams, are not to be registered as a sport club and also no registered players will be permitted to take part. He noted on Tuesday afternoon they received 39 teams displaying their interest in the soccer tournament, 12 netball teams, 11 volleyball teams, 7 for chess, 6 basketball teams and 8, who would like to participate in the stone and ring board games.
