Alhoewel Brandweer-hoof Adri Goosen en sy span vuurvegters verbete probeer het om die brand onder beheer te kry, is ‘n groot gedeelte van die per-seel totaal verwoes. Al die

besittings van die kinders, beddens, skoolboeke en ander meubliment het in die slag gebly. Vader Anthony Spencer het op daardie tydstip aan die koerant genoem dat

Marienheim koshuissteeds in puinMarshallino Beukes

Die seuns-afdeling van die Marienheim Rooms Katolieke koshuis in Tamariskia, Swakopmund, is gedurende Januarie van-jaar deur ‘n see van vlamme verswelg en tot hede is geen reparasiewerk gedoen nie.

Eigab is met ‘n mes dood-gesteek, nadat ‘n stryery tussen hom en ‘n vriend blykbaar ontstaan het. Die oorledene het op die toneel beswyk en die ver-meende aanvaller het op die vlug geslaan. Inligting dui daarop dat die verdagte wel bekend aan die polisie is, maar dit tog regkry om die lang arm

van die gereg te ontduik. Volgens ‘n familielid van die oorledene kry hulle geen terugvoering van die betrokke ondersoek-beampte nie, ten spyte van hul pogings om tot hulp te wees met die ondersoek. Daar word beweer dat die verdagte homself in Wind-hoek bevind en hierdie in-ligting is blykbaar aan die

polisie verskaf, maar geen aksie word skynbaar in die verband geneem nie.‘n Moedelose en gebroke mev Sophia Eigas (56), oorlede Steven se moe-der, het vandeesweek die koerant besoek en haar teleurstelling in die ma-nier waarop die saak han-teer word, uitgespreek. “Hulle [polisie] weet pre-

With the camp project coming to an end (origi-nally intended for end September) many camp workers are now worried that they would be left without employment start-ing October. The namib times spoke to various workers, Namport and members from CHEC. “The contract between Namport and CHEC co-vers wage and employ-ment agreements,” El-zevir Gelderbloem, port engineer at Namport con-firmed. “However, the ex-

act stipulations of the con-tract are confidential, but the contract does require CHEC to follow local industry best practice on labour issues, and it goes without saying, that all the applicable laws of Nami-bia must be adhered to,” Gelderbloem continued. “CHEC will follow the Namibian law and La-bour Act to deal with this strike,” Aaron Hsu, depu-ty project manager for CHEC, told the newspa-per. “The strike was an illegal

strike, hence all 70 em-ployees who participated in the illegal strike got sus-pended and were notified of their disciplinary hear-ing date,” Hsu continued. Investigations are still un-derway, however, workers made serious allegations about one of the site man-agers working in the har-bour area, Zu-Ling Rui, and suspicions arose over the role that the human resources (HR) division, Afrisay Group Holdings, play in the company. “We had four high rank-

After demonstrating in front of Namport and the premises of China Har-bour Engineering Company (CHEC) camp this week, Namibian work-ers have been suspended from the harbour project on Wednesday giving them 48 hours to prepare for a hearing that will be held at their premises today at 10:00.

die Swakopmund Rotary Club met die aanvang van die 2014 akademiese jaar, staal-kaste ter waarde van ±N$ 100 000 aan die ko-shuis geskenk het. Hierdie kaste, wat as hang-kaste vir die kinders ge-dien het, is ook vernietig in die brand. Die koshuis huisves ‘n totaal van 120 kinders, wat by verskil-lende skole in die dorp studeer. Drie-en-veertig van hierdie leerlinge is seuns en daar is vandees-

week verneem dat die seuns steeds verplig is om in twee klaskamers te slaap. Onvoldoende fond-se blyk die probleem te wees en ‘n Fonds is intus-sen geopen om finansies te in vir die herbou van die koshuis. In ‘n ampte-like brief vra die koshuis bestuur vir barmhartige Samaritane (gemeenskap, besighede en owerhede) om hulle in hul uur van nood by te staan en by te dra tot die fonds.

sies wie my kind vermoor het, maar dit lyk nie asof hulle enige moeite doen om geregtigheid te laat seëvier nie,” sê sy. Talle ooggetuies het op die betrokke dag die tragedie waargeneem en waarom leidrade nie opgevolg word nie is ‘n ope vraag. “Is ons polisie onbekwaam om hierdie tipe sake te ondersoek en op te los, of word hulle dalk omge-koop?” is gevra. Hierdie is nie die enig-ste moordsaak wat ‘n raaisel bly nie, nadat die moordenaar/s van Bronita Boois (15) ook steeds sy/hul vryheid geniet. Boois is op 15 Desember

verlede jaar naby Shalom Parish Church in Agaat Straat, Kuisebmond, met ernstige kopbeserings in die straat gevind.Sy het dieselfde dag in die Walvisbaai Staatshospi-taal aan die wonde beswyk. Ook in hierdie geval is talle leidrade wat opgevolg kon word.In nog ‘n onopgeloste moordsaak, is die oorskot van ‘n 13-jarige dogtertjie, Rachel Boois, gedurende Mei vanjaar in ‘n halfge-boude huis in Hentiesbaai gevind. Sprake dat sy ook verkrag was, het die rondte gedoen. Geen arrestasie is tot hede uitgevoer nie.

Moordenaars ing meetings regarding employees’ complaints and concerns two weeks ago, with all of our top managers including acting project manager, deputy project managers and as-sistant project managers as well as all our HR teams and HR from Namport participating in the meet-ing,” Hsu said. “An average of 5 - 6 hours per month has been omit-ted from my payslip since April, which I estimate to be around 30 - 50 hours that I did not get renu-merated for from then un-til now. What happened to those hours? Does Afrisay get some of our hours as commission, similar to what may happen if an employment agency gets commission from wor-kers?” a worker, who pre-ferred to stay anonymous, asked.“AfriSay Group Holdings is not a labour hire agent and only provides human resources consultancy ser-vices to CHEC,” Hsu said. “They do not receive any commission from work-ers. AfriSay Group is con-tracted by CHEC and the company pays a monthly retainer fee directly to Af-riSay Group Holdings.” When asked how hours and payments keeps track of time CHEC explained that “the employee and su-pervisor checks and signs timesheets on a daily ba-sis.”According to workers, site

manager Rui has allegedly been swearing and threate-ning Namibian workers making it very clear that if either of the workers belonged to a union that their contracts will not be renewed. According to the source the same site manager was the reason why more than 13 Nami-bians lost their jobs by the end of August, when their month-to-month contract came to an end. “If the problem was the Nami-bian workers why does only one site manager (at the harbour) have a pro-blem with us and the oth-er site managers work fine with us?” one worker asked. “Sometimes communica-tion between Chinese su-pervisors and local wor-kers are not properly con-ducted due to the cultural differences of both coun-tries,” Hsu explained. “CHEC has organised and arranged sufficient and professional trainingsupon our Chinese super-visors to assure the co-ordination work is con-ducted smoothly and pro-perly. CHEC had a train-ing course with our super-visors to be familiar with the local law and Labour Act, and scheduled ano-ther course regarding to the differences between Chinese culture and Na-mibian culture,” he said.Apparently workers did not receive any warnings prior to being notified

that they were being dis-missed. Afrisay allegedly respon-ded by saying that they cannot do anything as CHEC was both the HR consultancy and the wor-kers’ employer. If you do not work according to the Chinese they must find other work, members said they were allegedly told. They were also told that certain phases of construc-tion require certain jobs as well, workers were told. “We work on different phases of the project at the moment and the specific person’s skill is needed for a specific period of time,” Hsu confirmed. According to workers, the Namibians who were dis-missed due to the endingof their contracts have now been replaced by Chi-nese ‘general workers’. Job positions such as welders, electricians, fork-lift-drivers and even ge-neral workers are being filled by Chinese natio-nals, according to wor-kers. Before the strike broke out, workers were alleged-ly told that all welder po-sitions, will from now on, only be filled by Chinese. Originally semi-skilled workers such as plumbers, electricians etc were em-ployed at N$20 ph, how-ever, after their jobs were threatened by Chinese re-placements, certain semi-skilled workers accepted working at the N$13.26

ph that general workers receive. Tax allegedly gets deducted from each worker, even if they are employed on a month-to-month basis and even though they are not regis-tered for tax (do not have a tax registration number). “CHEC must abide by the relevant laws such as the labour law and CHEC should follow local indus-try best practice in terms of wages,” Gelderbloem confirmed.“Currently there are about 100 Namibian employ-ees and over 300 Chi-nese employees, many of whom are doing unskilled and semiskilled work,” a worker said.“There are no limits on the amount of workers required in the agreement between Namport and CHEC, however all un-skilled and semiskilled la-bour must be sourced from within Namibia,” Gelder-bloem continued.The workers union, Me-tal and Allied Namibian Workers Union (MAN-WU), have had discus-sions with CHEC, how-ever, they stated at the time of going to press that they will not be able to comment until the final meeting has taken place. According to workers they were told by the HR di-vision that they would be employed on a probatio-nal period of three months in March, after which an opportunity of being em-

ployed on a contract ba-sis for a year would exist prior to starting work with the company in March. In-stead, the majority of the workers (with the excep-tion of a few Namibians) have been reinstated ei-ther on a three month or a month-to-month basis. “The duration of the whole project is about three years, all the con-tracts CHEC signed with employees are less than three years, thus, there is no permanent contract, only fixed term contract,” Hsu said.“The company signed fixed contracts with every employee for a certain contract period,” Hsu ex-plained. “Depending on the work involved, level of skilled required and on the expected duration of that specific task, some of the contracts are for three months, six months and one year duration. Most of the general workers got three months contracts simply due to the amount of general work required during this time in the project schedule.” Meet-ings with the trade union, AfriSay and the company has been ongoing, how-ever, at the time of going to press, a resolution of terms have not yet been met. When asked whether CHEC feels that a resolu-tion would be reached Hsu confidently answered “We have no doubt that a reso-lution will be reached.”

The bank’s PR & Cor-porate Communica-tion Manager issued a statement today to an-nounce that ‘An infra-structure related inci-dent caused our entire banking system and other electronic chan-

nels to go down. “Please note that cus-tomers on Business On Line (BOL) can access and transact all func-tionalities.“Our IT Team has identified the problem and is addressing it on

All Banking Systems Down at Standard Bank NamibiaMarshallino Beukes

Many Standard Bank customers in Namibia were frustrated and confused when the bank’s electronic system went offline across the country yesterday morning.

This came after the planned power outage from 07:00 to 12:00 of Sunday turned into an out-age that lasted the entire Sunday (from morning until evening) and early Monday morning in some areas such as such as Kuisebmond, Narraville,

Langstrand etc. One of the power lines should have been available from 13:00 according to NamPower’snotification which, to-gether with Anixas, would have been sufficient to supply to Walvis Bay. Unfortunately, NamPowerexperienced technical pro-

blems. NamPower as-signed a team from Wind-hoek to investigate who restored power to the en-tire Walvis Bay at around 03:30 on Monday. How-ever by 06:40 the elec-tricity tripped again but the team were able to re-store power within the

next hour. Nampower has apologised for the events and give assurance that they will be investigating. Erongo RED insisted that no planned power outages will be accepted in future without the Anixas power station being fully opera-tional.

Hierdie unieke inisiatief is deur skoolouers, wat op die skool se Matriek-afskeid Beplannings-komitee dien geneem en was beslis ‘n eerste vir enige skool in die land, indien nie die wêreld nie. Die skool se matriek-afskeid gaan op 24 Okto-ber gehou word en hier-die beloof om nog meer opwindend en vol verras-

There are signs of trouble brewing within the ranks of the mini-stries of education, health and defence, as workers on the lower end of the pay-scale are preparing for protest action, aimed firstly at the union that is supposed to represent them.

At a meeting held in Swakopmund on Saturday a number of institutional workers, including cleaners, caretakers, matrons and labourers gathered at the office of the Namibia Public Workers Union (NAPWU) to discuss their concerns.One of the leading shop stewards, who preferred to stay anonymous, said there is strong support from the workers' side. The aggrieved workers are mainly based in the education ministry, but are joined by members of the defense force, health workers and regional council employees.They sent a letter outlining their grievances to NAPWU's regional coordinator, Mr John Ngolombe, at the end of July, but received no response to date. The workers strongly suspect their concerns are being suppressed and are planning a mass demonstration against the union leadership at NAPWU's office in Swakopmund on Friday. "With a meagre salary of N$2 000, how will you support a family with food, shelter, education, clothes... while ministers get all this for free?" They are demanding a basic salary of at least N$8 000 for cleaners: "We can't afford to buy houses as we are underpaid. We are not invited to workshops. We are not invited to take part in sports activities," they wrote."The discrimination is still like in the apartheid era. People in the offices are the only ones that can pursue further studies", whereas cleaners are denied such opportunities. "There is no promotion system for cleaners. We can't get study loans or advice... Once a cleaner, always a cleaner."The letter to NAPWU followed a decision by the affected workers on 5 July to bring their concerns to the attention of the Prime Minister through the official channels of the union. At that meeting, they decided to take further action over low wages, discrimination, lack of promotion and what they termed corruption in the appointment and promotion of staff.They also allege that there is corruption in the appointment of government staff: "Some of the vacancies in our office are internal, but they don't notify all workers." The workers say that jobs and promotions are reserved for "family members" of managers "and certain ethnic groups". The cleaners are also worried that they work with dangerous chemicals on a daily basis, but do not get adequate health and safety training: "Where will we get training?" they asked. We are "overloaded with work and if you complain to the principal, they tell you to go to NAPWU and tell them."They are also unhappy that other employees are allowed to work overtime, but not cleaners in the education sector: "We also have a lot of work, but are not allowed to work overtime," or on weekends. Cleaners are also required to do maintenance work without any payment, they said.Asked about the allegations, Mr Ngolombe said NAPWU is aware of the issue and participated in the meeting last Saturday. He has forwarded the workers' letter to NAPWU head office in Windhoek and is awaiting a response from headquarters, he said. He also confirmed that institutional workers on the lowest end of the pay-scale received a 10% increase earlier this year."Nobody came to me to let me know (about mistreatment). It is not the job of the union to sniff out every problem. They should tell us, so that we can deal with the issues and investigate." Regarding the alleged mistreatment, he said no-one reported the issue: "At the moment these are still rumours. We have no details, about where and when this took place, but there is no way we would tolerate the mistreatment of workers 24 years after independence." There are indications that workers are mobilising in other regions to put pressure on NAPWU, which is affiliated to the ruling party. The workers' demonstration against the union leadership in the Erongo region is set to start at 16:00 on Friday.

Swakopmund

According to the Nampol Regional Commander, Commissioner Samuel //Hoëbeb, the burglary occurred at Ellerines Fur-niture and it is suspected that the burglary that oc-curred at Supatronix at a previous occasion recent-ly, involved these same suspects.“We tried our best to pre-vent any criminal acti-vities during that night due to the power outage. However the suspects cut through the roof of Elle-rines with the use of a cutting torch and stole contents to the value of N$87 000,” he said.According to him these stolen goods include seven LG flat screen tele-visions, two Samsung flat screen televisions and one Tek flat screen television. They also stole four Tek home theatre speakers, one LG mini hi-fi system speaker, one Samsung DVD home entertainment system, two Tek channel home theatre systems,

three Tek subwoofer speakers, one LG mini hi-fi system, two Sony home theatre systems, and one Samsung subwoofer speaker with a remote.They also stole items of which the owners must still be contacted.These include two Acer laptops with a bag, a lap-top charger, an E-Book reader, a portable DVD player, a Samsung Galaxy Tab and a Canon printer. A truck was also im-pounded that is suspected to have transported the stolen goods from the scene to a certain Kuiseb-mond resident’s garage for storage. The six cul-prits were arrested in Kuisebmond on Tuesday.The manager of Elle-rines said they only learnt about the burglary on Monday morning. “Due to the power outage the backup battery ran out thus the alarm was not activated and the suspects gained entry through the roof.

We are very happy that the items have been reco-vered. We would have suffered a great loss if it was not recovered,” he said.Commissioner //Hoëbeb said at first it was sus-pected that the culprits were not from the Eron-go region, but the police soon learnt that they are indeed local community members.“Some of these suspects were also active in card cloning. I am very proud of our investigators and the Narraville neighbour-hood watch. Thank you for your com-mitment. We express our deepest gratitude to the community and most of all the investigators. We want to believe that as long as criminals remain behind bars, the crime will reduce in the Erongo Region. Together we can make our region safe,” he concluded.The six suspects appeared in court yesterday.

The namib times arrived atthe scene while police officers were busy inves-tigating the scene where the body of the deceased, Mr Zabian Bauwers (19),was discovered at approxi-mately 10:30.Nampol inspector Erastus Iikuyu told the newspaper on Wednesday that it is suspected that after a con-frontation between the

suspect and the deceased occurred, a fight started, resulting in Bauwers being stabbed.“The suspect, Mr Ricardo Maasdorp (28), was arres-ted. He had an argument with the deceased over goods that were allegedly stolen on a previous occa-sion. From that a fight transpired and Bauwers was stabbed

with a knife. He died on the scene. His next of kin had been informed,” Iikuyu said.According to Iikuyu both parties involved were destitute members of the community.Maasdorp has been charged with murder and appeared in the Magistrate's court yesterday morning.

Obtaining Fishing Permits

Obtain a permit from the Namibian Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources (MFMR) to catch fish or dive for crayfish and respect harvesting limitations.WHY? The marine resources are limited and currently some of them are overfished or over collected. It is necessary that everybody uses them wisely and carefully to secure the future harvesting needs by protecting the stock. Quantity/number of marine resources harvestable, minimum size limits of fish and crayfish that can be caught, open season etc. help to manage stocks to avoid the total disappearance of some species in our waters.Do not leave bait or fish on the beach! Either take it home or return it to the sea. This food attracts scavengers like jackals and gulls that prey on other bio-diversity. When you are back home after the holiday, it also inflates the predator population. Where can you get a license for angling, crayfish diving & bait/mussels collection?

Namibia will make an offer to buy Areva’s wa-ter desalination plant, which has the capacity to produce 20 million cubic meters of water from the sea, Bloomberg reported this week.“We can’t have water in the hands of a private company, it’s a resource that’s supposed to be-long to the government... Cabinet has made a de-cision for us to acquire that plant. We are busy with technicalities before we make an offer,” Mr Joseph Iita, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry, was quoted as saying.The PS reportedly said that a negotiating team will be established short-ly and once an agreement between the parties is reached, the plant would become the property of state-owned water utility, Namwater. The capacity of the plant may also be expanded once the deal is signed, he added.The plant was originally

designed to supply Are-va’s Trekkopje mine with water and was built at a cost of N$3 billion.Trekkopje was expected to produce 3 000 tons of uranium per annum, but was put into maintenance early in 2013, ostensi-bly due to the decline of the uranium price on the world market since the nuclear meltdown at Fu-kushima, Japan, in March 2011.In December 2013, the government first an-nounced that it plans to build its own plant at Mile 6 at a cost of N$1.6 billion north of Swakop-mund, but it appears this plan has now been shelved.The depletion of water in the Omaruru Delta (Omdel) aquifer in recent times presents a major risk factor to the mining industry, as it became clear that in the medium to long term the mines would not be able to con-tinue operations, or carry out any major expansions without access to desali-

nated water.Managers at Namwater make no secret of the fact that the Omdel has become relatively deple-ted, partly due to drought conditions, but also due to the high rate of extrac-tion by NamWater.The coastal towns of Swakopmund, Walvis Bay and Henties Bay need at least 4.5 mil-lion m³ of freshwater per year and the risk of contamination of fresh-water sources is a very real threat. Experts have warned that lowering the water table in the delta raises the risk that seawater would rush in and destroy the precious underground freshwater reservoirs.

Previously NamWater was allowed to extract between 9 and 10 mil-lion m³ of potable water annually from the Omdel aquifer and 6 million m³ from the Kuiseb River to supply Henties Bay, Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, as well as mines, but Namwater’s license to extract water from the Omaruru Delta (Omdel) expired in October 2013 and under the terms of the new permit it may not extract more than 4.5 million m³.Subsequent agreements between Areva, Swakop Uranium (Husab mine), Langer Heinrich Urani-um mine, as well as Rös-sing Uranium, allowed the mines to buy 10 mil-

lion m³ of desalinated water via Namwater, but it appears the arrange-ment was not cost-effec-tive. Rössing announced in July that it now plans to build its own desali-nation plant with a capa-city to produce 8 200m³ of water per day at the site of the existing Salt Works, north of the town of Swakopmund.Areva’s desalination plant near Wlotskabaken was inaugurated by then Minister of Trade and Industry, Prime Minister Hage Geingob in mid-2010. Areva is expected to ma-ke an official announce-ment once the terms of the new deal are agreed to.

In Swakopmund kan hulle nie in die staanspoor sê watter vorms jy alles nodig het om aansoek vir “Pre-Paid”-krag te doen. Elke keer as jy die een vorm bring is daar nog ‘n ander een nodig. Ons aansoek was al in Ju-nie 2014 ingedien met die hoop dat ons krag in Au-gustus kan kry, maar min het ons geweet hoeveel tyd ons in hul kantore moes deurbring. Blykbaar weet

hulle ook nie waar hulle die vorms wat jy indien bêre nie. Eers nadat my humeur gedreig het om uit te breek en ek begin dreig het, kon skielik die komputers in gang gebring word en ook die selfoon is opgetel. In al die ure wat ons in die Erongo RED kantore deur-gebring het, het ons nooit ‘n telefoon hoor lui nie. Telefone word glad nie be-antwoord nie.

Ook in Walvisbaai was dit ‘n probleem om enigsins verder te kom. Op die laaste werksdag van Augustus was ons krag uiteindelik aangesluit. Soos reeds genoem kan ek nog uitbrei. Nou wag ons in spanning op terugbetaling van de-posit van ons vorige bly-plek. (Na aanleiding van brief 12 September 2014).Heidi (064 402 674)

Elizabeth TórsdóttirHentze They are known to be very aggressive, however, there’s a won-derful video online of a female trying to feed dead penguins to a wildlife photographer who wanted to study their behaviour and caught it all on film.CNemoGlobal Fish-eries Minister Bernard Esau has been the sub-ject of more controver-sy this week as to quota allocation. Addressing stakeholders at the an-nual Namibian Fish-ing Industry meeting in February, Minister Esau said that “despite a decline in the total

allowable catch (TAC) for some species the contribution of the fish-ing sector to the GDP generally showed an upward trend and was forecast to slightly im-prove for 2013 on the back of global recove-ry.” Profit from hake oper-ations showed a sub-stantial improvement as a consequence of reve-nue growth and operat-ing efficiencies; horse mackerel TAC remains the same as 2013 at 350 000 tons noting that the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources continued to allocate further quota to new

rights holders. Last year Minister Esau also said that “seal har-vesting does not con-tribute significantly to the GDP in terms of jobs or income”. If fish stocks are not depleted, what is the rationale for continuing the seal hunt? Seal populations can bemanaged by immuno-contraceptive vaccine. The seal hunt does not benefit the nation brand, the controversy only harms it. We urge the MFMR to end the annual seal hunt and shift its efforts to the aquaculture industry instead.

The annual Coastal Biodiversity Week ended on Saturday with a mass coastal clean-up along the Namibian coastline.

New Coastodians pledge to protect the coastline

A gala fundraising dinner was held on Friday at Swakopmund to solicit funds for the Coastal Environment Scholarship Fund, to assist students to undertaking post-graduate studies in environmental management.

Fisheries and Marine Resources, Nadeet, Namdeb Diamond Corporation, Plastic Pack-aging; Rent-a-Drum, various churches and schools, as well as individual volunteers took part in the clean-up.The second part of the Coastal Biodiversity Week, which lasted from 13 to 20 September, also served as an educational platform to teach people about the environment through raising awareness on the conservation of coastal biodiversity. (Biodi-versity refers to the variety of life in a particular habitat or ecosystem and sustainable de-velopment.)The first phase took place between 2 to 8 June 2014 under the theme: 'Raise your Voice, Not the Sea Level'.

Teachers and volunteers collected rubbish from the beaches and found that the most prevalent items discarded by people along the coast include plastic bags, glass and plastic bottles, cans, caps, lids and food wrappers.Ms Caty Shemuvavula of the Namibian Coastal Management Project (Nacoma) says it would be safe to assume most of the rubbish was left there by visitors. She notes that the estimated time for plastic bot-tles to decompose is 450 years, aluminium cans 200 years and plastic bags can take around 20 years to decompose.The Municipalities of Oranjemund, Lüderitz, Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, as well as the Mini-stry of Environment and Tourism, Ministry of

Nanyemba Aaron “Diego” Mushi, who inherited his stage name from a telenovela charac-ter, is a soft- spoken kwaito artist hea-ting up the enter-ta inment scene with his fiery lyrics and even dedicated his latest album to the series of passion killings that rocked the nation this year.

He may have been born in Ombango, Zambia during the liberation struggle but according to Diego, Namibia is home because both his parents were born here and Walvis Bay is where his heart is. D iego has been singing since 2009 and said he could not imagine doing music in another genre other than kwaito. He added that the love he had for music

Diego releases album inspired by violence Mavourlene Gaes

blossomed after he joined the church choir, where he met a few guys and formed a band they cal led D i e g o a n d m a n -agement production. Although the group did not last long and split after some of the members decided to further their studies, leaving Diego stran-ded, they managed to record a gospel song which gave him just enough motivation to continue with his music career. According to Diego, everything changed in 2011 when inter-nationally renowned local musician Gazza had a show in Rundu and he (Diego) per-formed a gospel track “Kalunga Mpakalo” which means where is our God living, in Oshiwambo. “Gazza approached me and invited me to go with him to Windhoek

because he wanted to collaborate on a gospel song,” he explained. Diego agreed and they completed a track titled “I wanna go”, but instead of accep-

t ing payment for helping with the song he spoke to Gazza who in turn agreed to help him release an album. He released his first album that same year (2011) which he called “Ndakula Paife” mea-ning I am old now. It contained 15 tracks, which was quickly followed by his se-cond album “Namibia one type” recorded at Moonlight Produc-

tions. “My albums have been doing well and my fans are respon-ding well to every album I release, which is not only motivating but it also helps with the finan-cial side because they buy my music,” he said. His third and latest 16 track album, “Stop killing” will be on sale as from next week.

P. O. Box 3062Walvis Bay

It is with great pleasure, that the Walvis Bay Arts and Crafts Association will once again be hosting the annual and eagerly awaited exhibition. This year the expo's venue has very kindly been donated by, Christina and Bennie, the new owners of Lagune Restaurant, Walvis Bay Angling Club/ Hengelklub.

The couple saw the potential of Lagune Restaurant, not to men-tion the beautiful location right at the lagoon. The décor has been changed and is crisp, clean and welcoming.Bennie is the one who keeps the thirsty patrons happy in the pub andChristina is a whizz in the kitchen. So what a plea-

of coffee and an array of breakfasts or delicious cake in the mornings. Later, maybe a glass of wine or a beer while you watch the flamingoes and then indulge in anything from snack baskets, cala-mari or cordon bleu to bur-gers and too many more dishes to mention. There is also a kiddies menu and a swing and slide play area

for the little ones.The exhibition is being held in the Club hall and what a feast for the eye, heart and soul it promises to be. The local talent has once again been incre-dibly hard at work and our displays include fabric works, wood works, mirrors, candles, Christmas décor and so many other goodies that it really is a “must see!”As with any organization we have bid farewell to a few exhibitors but it is with great pleasure that we welcome the new members and their fan-tastic creations.The expo opens on Mon-day 22 September and is open daily from 10:00am to 18:00 including week-ends.There is no entrance fee and WSK/Saamkoop is available.

Closing day is 4 October at 13:00 when we shall once again pack up for another year. So come along, bring a friend or two and enjoy good food, a beautiful view and the best shopping ever!

26 SEPTEMBER 2014 16 NAMIB TIMES


Am Samstag, den 20.September 2014, eröffnete im Woer-mann-Haus die Aus-stellung „Black and White: Finnish Me-mories of Northern Namibia“. Die einzigartige Aus-stellung zeigt 30, von finnischen Missionaren gemachte, Fotografien des Nordens Namibias. Sie ist eine gemeinsame Bemühung der nami-bischen Museums-vereinigung, der fin-nischen Botschaft in Windhoek und der Swa-k o p m u n d K u n s t -

“Finnische Erinnerungen im Woermann-Haus”e h e m a l i g e n M i s -sionshaus ist heute das Nakambale Museum untergebracht, das die Kultur der Ovambo und die Geschichte der Mis-sionare thematisiert. Das Museum ist be-nannt nach dem Pionier der finnischen Mis-sionsarbeit im nami-bischen Norden Martti Rautanen, der unter anderem die Bibel in Oshivambo übersetzte. D e n S p i t z n a m e Nakambale, der so viel bedeutet wie „Der, der den Hut trägt“, bekam er von den Ovambos ver-

So besuchten finnische Missionarskinder noch bis in die 1980erjahre ein Internat in Swakop-mund.Die Fotografien sind eine Spende des Mis-sionsmuseum in Hel-sinki für das Nakambale Museum. Dort wird die Ausstellung im An-schluss an ihren Aufent-halt im Woermann-Haus in Swakopmund dauer-haft zu sehen sein. Im Mai diesen Jahres war sie bereits in Windhoek in der National Art Gallery of Namibia zu sehen.

liehen, da diese seinen Namen nicht ausspre-chen konnten. Auch wenn die Mis-sionare im Norden tätig waren, so gibt es doch auch eine historische V e r b i n d u n g z u Swakopmund.

Die Bilder entstanden um die Jahrtausend-wende und zeigen das Leben der Ovambos und der Missionare während d e r A n f ä n g e d e r finnischen Missions-arbeit. Die ältesten Aufnahmen sind ver-

mutlich die ersten Foto-grafien, die im Norden Namibias entstanden. Bereits 1911 wurden die Bilder in Finnland ausgestellt.Die finnische Botschaf-terin in Namibia, Anne Saloranta, konnte auf Grund einer Krankheit leider nicht wie geplant an der Eröffnung teil-nehmen. Vor den etwa vierzig Gästen verlas Christiane Berker von d e r S w a k o p m u n d Kunstvereinigung stell-vertretend die Rede der Botschafterin. Saloranta beschrieb die Bedeutsamkeit der Er-haltung kulturellen Erbes, für das diese Ausstellung ein aus-gezeichnetes Beispiel sei. Die Fotografien seien etwa 103 Jahre nach ihrer ersten Präsentation in Finnland zurück in dem Land, aus dem sie kämen und dem sie rechtmäßig gehören.Sie stellte auch die schon fast 144 Jahre a n d a u e r n d e g e -meinsame Geschichte Namibias und Finn-lands, die ihren Anfang mit den Missionen im ehemaligen Südwest-Afrika nahm, heraus. Vor allem betonte sie die Partnerschaft und deren Entwicklung. Die Ausstellung sei ein bemerkenswertes Bei-spiel für die gemein-same Reise, die wahre Partnerschaft und die i m m e r w ä h r e n d e Freundschaft, so Salo-ranta in ihrer Rede.

‚Swimming. In 1909 and 1910 therewere good rains. Children could swim and play in the ponds that were left. Two large lakes attracted hundreds of people who waded through the water catching fish. Could these two lakes be Oponona and Etótha? (Selma Rainio, 1910).”

Photo left: “Taimi and Lydia. The two girls are described as 'foster children' who had been adopted by the Finnish missionaries. ( H a n n u H a a h t i , 1911).”

“Die Gäste der Ausstellungseröffnung konnten bei einem Glas Wein (oder Wasser) die historischen Fotografien betrachten und besprechen.”

Dass heute eine echte s ta t t e iner missio-narischen Kooperation

bestünde, hob auch Timo Palander, Honor-arkonsul Namibias in

Finnland, hervor, der d e r A u s s t e l l u n g s -eröffnung als Gast beiwohnte. D i e S w a k o p m u n d Kunstvereinigung ist erfreut die Fotografien präsentieren zu dürfen, vor allem auch ange-sichts der National Heritage Week, in der Namibia vom 22. bis zum 28. September sein kulturelles Erbe feiert. Die Ausstellung „Black and White: Finnish Memories of Northern Namibia“ ist noch bis zum 4. Oktober 2014 im Woermann-Haus in Swakopmund zu sehen.

Ich stehe auf der Ladefläche eines VW-Transporters.

Mehr oder weniger erfolgreich versuche ich die drei Hunde, die links von mir stehen, sitzen und liegen, von den zwei sichtlich nervösen Hammeln zu trennen, mit denen ich mir ebenfalls die Ladefläche teile.So konzentriert da-rauf, den Frieden auf dem Transporter zu wahren, blicke ich nicht nach vorn. Das rächt sich, als der Transporter einen Baum und seine tief-hängenden, dornen-b e s e t z t e n Ä s t e passiert. Die nächsten anderthalb Wochen werden einige Kratzer meinen Nacken zie-ren.Aber von vorn: Wir verlassen vormittags Swakopmund. Unser Ziel: Farm „Norden-

burg“, direkt südlich der Chuosberge, etwa 50 Kilometer süd-westlich von Usakos. Nur wenige Kilometer außerhalb der Küs-tenstadt steigt die Außentemperatur, die wir über die digitale Anzeige im Auto beo-bachten. Bis zu unserer

Ankunft wird sie von 18° Celsius in Swakop-mund auf etwa 35° ansteigen. Na, das klingt doch s c h o n e h e r n a c h Afrika! Am Nachmittag kom-men wir an. Bevor ich mich in der Sonne entspannen

kann, wird erst der Transporter entladen: B e n z i n k a n i s t e r , Ziegelsteine, etwas Proviant. Bei dieser „Packliste“ hätte mir in Swakopmund schon klar werden können, dass unser Weg uns weg führt von der Stadt mit ihren Super-

märkten und Tank-stellen, wo immer alles mehr oder weniger direkt zur Verfügung steht. Der Ausblick von der Terrasse des Farm-hauses verdeutlicht genau das: Kein Haus, k e i n A u t o , k e i n Mensch ist von hier aus in der Ferne zu er-spähen. B e i e i n e r F a r m -rundfahrt kann ich die Sonne und das herr-liche Panorama genie-ßen. Solche weitläufigen Landschaften hatte ich mir in Deutschland ausgemalt, wenn ich an meine bevorstehende Zeit in Namibia dachte. Auf dem Rückweg zum Farmhaus nehmen wir die zwei Hammel mit, die für die Kratzer in meinem Nacken (mit)verantwortlich sind. Am nächsten Tag helfe ich die Schafe zusa-

mmenzutreiben. Vor mir t rot ten sechs Schafe, die ihre Schrit-te nur beschleunigen, wenn ich ihnen zu nahe komme, immer wieder nehmen kleine Eidech-sen vor mir Reißaus und trotz des frischen Ostwindes wird mir beim Laufen durch die Savanne schnell warm. Das, in Kombination mit mit dem bereits be-schriebenen wunder-schönen Panorama, macht mir wieder einmal klar, wo ich bin. Nach zweieinhalb Wochen, die ich (zum Zeitpunkt des Farme-suchs) in Swakop-mund verbracht habe, erscheint mir zu-mindest im Küstenort e in iges a l l täg l ich (dabei aber nie lang-weilig!). Immer wieder rufe ich mir selbst ins Ge-dächtnis, wie weit ich von meinem zu Hause entfernt bin, als würde

ich es sonst vergessen. Hier auf Nordenburg habe ich keine Chance es zu vergessen. Nach meinem zuge-gebenermaßen ober-flächlichen Einblick in die Arbeit eines Schaf-hirten, den ich den-noch überlege in mei-nen Lebenslauf aufzu-nehmen (aus Prinzip!), muss ich Nordenburg leider viel zu schnell den Rücken kehren. Etwa vier Stunden später bin ich in Wind-hoek und zwei Tage später zurück in Swa-kopmund. Die Städte und ihre Supe rmärk t e und Tankstellen haben mich wieder. Und doch hoffe ich, bald mal wieder am Farmleben teilzuneh-men und den Mens-chen und den Städten ein wenig zu ent-fliehen.

Jemand fragte einmal meinen Freund Jaime Cohen:„Was ist eigentlich an den Menschen so witzig?“Cohens Antwort war:„Sie denken immer verkehrt herum: Sie wollen schnell erwachsen werden und sehnen sich später nach der verlorenen Kindheit. Um Geld zu verdienen, setzen sie ihre Gesundheit aufs Spiel, und geben später viel Geld aus, um wieder gesund zu werden.Sie denken so sehr an die Zukunft, dass sie die Gegenwart vernachlässigen. Und am Ende erleben sie weder die Gegenwart noch die Zukunft.Sie leben so, als würden sie nie sterben, und sterben, als hätten sie nie gelebt.“

Rainer Zietlow and co-dri-vers Marius Biela and Mat-thias Prillwitz are attempt-ing to set a world record of driving over 17 000km from the northernmost part of Eu-rope in Nordkapp, Norway, to the southernmost part of Africa, Cape Agulhas, in just under 10 days. Rainer Zietlow is attempting to set his third world record fol-lowing his two successful world record drives from Tierra del Fuego to Alaska along the "Panamericana" in 11 days and 17 hours as well as a world record drive from Melbourne to St Petersburg in 17 days and 18 hours.Team Zietlow's World Re-cord Drive attempt official-ly started on Sunday, 21 September in Nordkapp, Norway at 3am (local time) when the Mayor of Hon-ningsvag, Kristina Hansen pressed the start button of the stopwatch. The Mayor of the Cape Agul-has Municipality, Coun-cillor Richard Mitchell, will press the stop buttonwhen the Volkswagen Tou-areg reaches the southern-most point in Africa at theCape Agulhas monumentin the Agulhas NationalPark.So far, the non-stop dri-ving (the Touareg will only stop for re-fuelling) has seen Team Zietlow passing through Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germa-

ny, Czech Republic, Slove-nia, Hungary, Serbia, Bul-garia and Turkey. In Africa, Volkswagen Touareg will drive through Egypt, Sudan, Ethopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe be-fore finally reaching South Africa.Challenges awaiting Team Zietlow include potholes in Sudan and Ethiopia, count-less switchbacks in the Af-rican highlands and the in-famous "Road of Hell" with its corrugated and volcanic rock surface in northern Kenya. The Touareg will drive through varying tem-peratures from freezing in Norway to mid-40 degrees Celsius in Sudan. Team Zietlow has been posting daily reports on its experiences on its website: www.touareg capetocape.com. It includes a blog with photos and videos detailing each day's stage. The cur-rent position of the Touareg is also shown on a virtual map that is updated every five minutes. The team has pledged to support "Food & Trees for Africa" with the planting of nearly 600 trees around the city of Johannesburg in Oc-tober 2014. These trees will make the entire "Touareg Capeto-Cape" project, including the record drive and the scouting tour early this year, CO2-neutral.

The innovative Toyota C-HR concept, which will have its world pre-miere next week at the Paris Motor Show, pre-sents a bold new dy-namic design language.

The striking blue C-HR concept introduces an expressive new "dia-mond architecture" styl-ing theme to the seg-ment and features a hy-brid powertrain.

Toyota presents stunning vision for new SUVToyota has released images of a stunning concept car that provides the first hint of a type of vehicle the company would like to bring to the small SUV market.

Below its compact, sen-sual cabin profile, the lower bodywork has been sculpted to repre-sent the faceted surfaces of a highly-durable, pre-cision-cut gemstone.The front view debuts new styling themes that hint at a future design direction for Toyota vehicles - a further de-velopment of the com-

pany's "under priority" and "keen look" design identity. From the side, the highly-faceted lower

exceptionally sleek ca-bin profile.Highly-distinctive, aero-inspired, floating rear

Infiniti presents Q80 Inspiration: Infiniti'svision of category-breaking, supreme lu-xurious driving; a top-of-the-line four-seat fastback that rises above the crowd. It's an audacious and elegant step forward for Infiniti as a globalplayer; designed to shake up the status quo in the premium large four-door club; a no-compromise am-bassador of driver-centric powertrain and onboard technologies.At 15:30 on October 2nd in Hall 5 of the Parc des Expositions de Versailles in Paris, Infiniti will introduce the progressive Q80 Inspiration to the me-dia and provide details on its hybrid-electric powertrain strategy as well as on additional technologies.In profile, Infiniti Q80 Inspiration extends to5052 millimeters witha long wheelbase of3103 mm framed bycustom 22-inch five-dual-spoke lighweightalloys. It strikes an impos-ing stance with its width of 2027 mm and height of 1350 mm."After showing Q30 Concept and Q50 EauRouge, Infiniti is ea-ger to show the upper range of our portfolio expansion," says In-

finiti Executive De-sign Director, Alfonso Albaisa. "In Q80 Inspiration, we wanted to capture that unforgettable feel-ing when you expe-rience something im-portant, something beautiful, something magnetic for the first time."The Q80 Inspiration's expansive, edgy, sen-sual interpretation of the Infiniti brand real-ly makes a statement. There are no side-door mirrors to break up the aesthetics of the unmistakable profile, the full roof length of the teardrop passenger greenhouse is accen-tuated by lightweight acoustic glass, and its doors open portal style which allows the stunning cabin to be fully on display while driver and passengers step in and out with ease.A concept as impact-ful as Q80 Inspiration is set to push bounda-ries in more ways than through the beauty of its attention-grabbing skin. The cabin is able to bring together the four occupants in a highly stylised and persona-lised ambiance of the highest quality. Carbon-fiber, alumi-num, and leather sur-round those inside in

spacious "1 + 1 + 1 + 1" seating.Earmarked for an ad-vanced adaptive sus-pension, the light and rigid chassis combines with the acoustic glass all around and addi-tional sound deade-ning to promise a driving and ride expe-rience among the very best.A design and techno-logical highlight to which Infiniti's four worldwide design stu-dios will refer regular-ly in coming years, the Q80 Inspiration four-door fastback is to be taken as clear intent to have an entry into the newly defined premi-um fastback segment.

HOUSEHOLD/FURNITURE



Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) have remained under suspicion over their alleged tamparability and security problems during elections. After rulings of the Delhi High Court, the Supreme Court as well as demands from various political parties, the Indian Election Commission (EC) decided to introduce EVMs with Voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT).

Suspicion over EVMs

Security ProblemsAn international con-ference on the Indian EVMs and the tam-parability of the mac-hines on 13 February 2010, came to the conclusion that the Election Commission (EC) of India was evading its responsi-bility on the trans-parency in the work-ing of the EVMs.On 28 April 2010, an independent security analysis was released, including video de-monstrations, of two successful attacks on a real EVM, as well as

descriptions of several other potential vul-nerabilities:Before voting: One demonstration was based on replacing the part inside the control unit, which actually displays each candi-dates' vote totals. This substitute component can be programmed to "steal" a percentage of the votes in favour of a chosen candidate.After vot ing: The second demonstration used a small clip-on device to manipulate t h e v o t e s t o r a g e memory inside the

India knows for sure what software is in these machines and whether it counts votes accurately.Observers came to the conclusion that even brief access to the machines could allow for manipulation of election results.

Court CasesOn 25 July 2011 the Supreme Court of India asked the EC to con-sider a request by a petitioner to modify EVMs by having them produce a slip printed with the symbol of the party in whose favour the voter cast his ballot.On 17 January 2012, Delhi High Court ruled that EVMs are not "tamper-proof".The court, furthermore, found it "difficult" to issue any directions to

the EC in this regard, but added that the EC itself should hold wider consultations with the Executive, political parties and other stake holders on the matter.When on 27 September 2012 an appeal was lodged with the Su-preme Court (against the undecisive ruling by the High Court), the EC submitted that a field trial for a VVPAT (Voter verified paper audit trail) system was in progress, where-upon the Supreme Court posted the matter for further hearing to January 2013.The EC had by then ordered the manu-facturers of the EVMs to produce machines that will generate a "paper trail" of the vote cast.

BEL CMD announced that the "EVM soft-ware will be modified and a printer attached to it. When you cast a vote, the serial number and 'some data' will be generated as a print-out."It appears that, when the voter presses the button for the candi-date of his choice in the EVM, a paper ballot with the serial number, name and symbol of the candidate will be printed. The printouts can be used later to cross check the voting data stored elect-ronically in the EVMs.

International Us-ageIn October 2006, Netherlands banned all EVMs (with or without Paper print out).

Problems with en-suring secrecy of the ballot due to risk of e l ec t ron ic eves -dropping were the reason for the ban.In March 2009, after almost two years of debate, German Su-preme Court decla-red that EVMs were unreliable and un-constitutional be-cause the average citizen could not be expected to under-stand the exact steps involved in the recor-ding and counting of votes. In April 2009, Republic of Ireland banned EVMs in their elections.

(Full references with regard to all state-ments of fact are available – AvW – Feb 2013).

machine. Votes stored in the EVM can then be changed during the time between the close of the election and the public counting ses-sion. The researchers where also surprised to find that the vote-counting software in the EVMs is program-med into so-called "mask-programmed micro-controllers", which do not allow it to b e r e a d o u t a n d verified. These chips are made in the US and Japan, therefore nobody in

Notice Of Question

I give notice that on Thursday, 2 October, 2014, I shall ask the Honourable Mini-ster of Regional and Local Government, Housing and Rural Development the fol-lowing:1. In which way is the Hon Minister going to allay the anxiety of the opposition parties and win the trust and confidence of the electorate as a whole in the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs in short), while there exists scientific proof since April 2010 that the Indian EVMs acquired by the Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) are vulnerable to fraud, as discovered and explained in finest detail, including video demonstrations, by a research team of three renowned security analysts, who carried out two successful attacks on real EVMs and identified several other potential vulnerabilities?2. Is the Hon Minister not aware that the same Indian EVMs were repeatedly subject to court interventions, whenØin July 2011 the Supreme Court of India asked the Indian Electoral Commission to consider and respond to the request that the EVMs should be modified by providing a simultaneous printout of the voter's ballot on paper;Øin January 2012 Delhi High Court ruled that EVMs are not "tamper-proof", and added that the Electoral Commission of India should hold wider consultations with the Executive, political parties and other stakeholders; andØin October 2013 the Supreme Court of India directed the Electoral Commission of India to introduce Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail system for the next general elections in India, in order to ensure free and fair elections?3. Does the Hon Minister really mean to dispute the fact that, with the current EVMs, there is no way whatsoever of verification of the ballot in case of an election challenge?4. Can the Hon Minister agree that the only way to ensure trust and confidence of the electorate in the EVMs is by adding a Voter Verifiable Paper Trail, which will enable the voter to see a paper printout of their electronic ballot, displaying name and/or symbol of the chosen Party or Candidate, before dropping in a ballot box?5. How does the Hon Minister explain his allegation a few weeks ago in this assembly that "the technology for the paper trail is not yet available", while it is reported from India thatØthe Electoral Commission of India informed the Supreme Court that EVMs with the Voter Verified Paper Trail were successfully and satisfactorily used at 21 polling stations in Nagaland during assembly elections in February 2013; and thatØthe New Delhi constituency utilized EVMs with Voter Verified Paper Trails in its constituency elections on the 4th of December 2013, enabling voters to verify if their vote was recorded correctly, and being hailed as successful and a positive experience!?6. Can the Hon Minister comment on the banning of EVMs and the reasons for the banning by the following countries:ØNetherlands (2006) – due to the secrecy risk of electronic evesdropping;ØRepublic of Ireland (2009) – due to lack of transparency and trust;ØGermany (2009) – Supreme Court declares EVMs unreliable and unconstitutional due to lack of transparency to a common voter;ØUnited States – California and other States ban EVMs without Paper Trail;ØUK and France – not implementing?Anton von Wietersheim, MP23 September 2014.

Namport donated food to the value of more than N$10 000 to different HIV/AIDS support groups around the Erongo Region and made their final stop at the Walvis Bay Multi-purpose centre on Tuesday where they handed groceries over to three of the groups.

According to Advocacy and fundraising manager of Namibia Network of AIDS Service Organisations (NANASO), Zack Makari, NANASO was pleased to hand over a portion of goods they received from Namport from the plea that both strong hand and weak hand need each other. “Namibia is affected by HIV/AIDS and the country is facing a challenge of food security, to the extent that some patients started throwing away their medicine because they could not drink them on an empty stomach,” Makari said. He added that they are very happy a prestigious company such as Namport came on board to assist them in the fight for zero new HIV infections and he urged other companies, businesses or even individuals who want to lend a helping hand to feel free in doing so, because every little help counts and there are people across the country in need of their help. He concluded by saying everyone should understand that by giving to others, they are not sponsoring or donating but, that they are investing. In total, nine sup-port groups received the donations. Usakos 1, Arandis 1, Swakopmund 3, Walvis Bay 3 and Henties Bay 1.

NAMIB TIMES 35 26 SEPTEMBER 2014 SPORT

The riders battled it out for the podium places as this was the second last race for the 2014 championship series. The riders lined up to take on the sand, rocks and obstacles the or-ganisers had included in the race. Two-thirds of the com-petitors managed to complete the race while some entrants suffered mechanical problems and others did not fin-ish due to tough and demanding conditions which upset the less prepared and fit riders.In the National Bike Class, Henner Rusch put on a good display and won his sixth race in the series. Shannon Rowland raced her way to victory in the Ladies

Quads.In class 10, there were three entrants, Mark Johnston in third place, behind Marius Faul in second place and Nic-key Hohmeier who won this class.In class 9, there was only one entrant and Juan Tyran took the honours.Four riders entered class 8 and two of those Did Not Finish (DNF). Franco Junius won the race followed by Den-nis Dembski in second place. Class 7 had the most entries with 15 en-trants. RJ Visser fi-nished in third place, behind Sven Grünert who was beaten by six minutes for the top step by Tom Moths.

Class 5 had four en-trants, and two of the riders had a DNF. In second place was Frank Ahlreip and the current leader Sven Schneiden-berger won this class.Class 4 the National Ladies had four en-trants with Shannon Rowland extending her lead and taking top honours. Coming in second place was Julia Moths, followed by Maike Bo-chert in third place. In Class 3, Heiko Bern-stein had a DNF due to quad problems. The class, in which only two riders entered was eventually won by Gary Rowland.In the Open Class (Class 2), Henner Rush took the win twenty-

five minutes ahead of second placed Ingo Waldschmidt. A new name to the po-dium of the Open Class was Sigi Pack who took third place out of the nine entries.Class 1 had eight en-tries with the current favourites, Kai-Uwe Brettschneider and Jörn Greiter taking third and second place respectively, while Kai Hennes, who normally rides in the open class, came in first place.The eighth and last event for the 2014 sea-son will take place on 18 October on the Farm Neu Heusis, which is a new venue with a new race track.

Apart from being the premier marathon event in Namibia, the Lucky Star Marathon serves as a qualifier for the Two Oceans and Comrades marathons. The event is unique in the sense that the course follows the sce-nic main road between Swakopmund and

Walvis Bay, where run-ners are able to enjoy the cold Atlantic Ocean on the one side, and the rolling sand dunes of the oldest desert in the world, the Namib De-sert, on the other side. Etosha Fishing, the main sponsors of the event, aims to promote community involve-

ment and the bene-fits of a healthy life-style among the youth through this event. For this reason, significant focus is placed on in-volving schools from across the country. The marathon attract-ed approximately 790 runners in 2013 and with the participation

of 10 SADC countries in the Southern Regio-nal marathon division, hope is that this year’s event will be even big-ger and better. Apart from the scenic nature of the marathon, the event offers four different routes with varying levels of diffi-culty to satisfy the ap-

petite of hard core ath-letes and fun runners alike.The full marathon (42.2 km) and the school re-lay (10.2 km) will start in Walvis Bay, where-as the 21.1 km and 10 km races will start in Swakopmund. Starting times of the respective events are

06:00 for the full mar-athon; 06:30 for the school relay; whereas the fun run and the half marathon will start at 07:00. Full details are available on the Etosha Fishing website: www.etoshafish.com.na For those athletes still interested in entering, closing date for regis-

trations has been post-poned to 29 September. Online registration is encouraged on the Eto-sha Fishing website. Entry fees for the dif-ferent races are as fol-lows: Full marathon - N$100; Half marathon and fun run - N$80; School relay team - N$80.

Bart’s Bash at Walvis Bay yacht club

The Walvis Bay yacht club’s race started at 10.30 on Sunday with boats such as the Optimist, Dabchick,

Laser, Hobie and others taking part in the race. Dormac Marine sponsored the event and Hit Radio

and local Walvis Bay Ra-dio Eros provided music for the event.Four other countries in Af-

rica took part in the event - Botswana, Kenya, South Africa and Tanzania.Sailing clubs across the

globe all sailed a race, co-ordinated by the Andrew Simpson Foundation, in a 24 hour period in an

attempt to make a new Guinness World record for the largest sailing race in 24 hours.

760 clubs in 67 different countries with over 17 366 sailors took part in this event.

Twenty-eight boats took part in the Walvis Bay leg of the world’s largest sailing race, the Barts Bash, on Sunday 21 September.

The weather conditions were perfect for the 39 entrants this year and all was set for good scores and that is what we got. Stephan Jacksch and Anton van Rensburg started very good with 23 points each on the first nine holes followed by Pikkie Champion on 21. Desmond Benson, 12 points and Brendan Britten, 13 points struggled on the first nine holes. Seems that they missed windy conditions, but at least they both played better golf on the second nine holes. Jaans Stander did not fi-nish that well at all, making bets at the start he wanted to shake hands after nine holes, but at least continued like a good sportsman should, ending the day on a total of 23 points. Practice boet and thanks for the money!Stephan Jacksch spent too much time in the club house after nine holes and messed it up on the second nine with

a mere 13 points to end on 36, this to the great delight of his playing partners that had consistent scores on both nine holes. 2-clubs were scored by Brendan Britten, Johny Borges and Wayne Hart. Nearest to the pin was Johny Borges and Wayne Hart.The final outcome was as follows: 1st Anton van Rens-burg - 44 points, 2nd Sergio Figueredo - 40 points C/O, 3rd Rocco Viljoen - 40 points C/O, 4th Johny Borges - 40 points C/O, 5th Bertie Coet-zee - 40 points C/O, 6th Willie van Zyl - 37 points C/O, 7th Victor Clara - 37 points C/O, 8th Amandio Sardinha - 37 points C/O, 9th Pikkie Cham-pion - 37 points C/O, 10th Lady T Grobler - 36 points.A competition that was star-ted 41 years ago by Hans Frielingsdorf and today is continued by Impie Brand, manager of Old Mutual Short term insurance Co is still very popular in Walvis Bay.

Impie and staff, what can we say about your support? You and your staff are all great and we can only salute you all. See you again next year! Subs - Enough said about this. All subs due by 30 Sep-tember! If you are not on the handicap system any more, you will know why. Remem-ber, that once you are off the handicap system, it costs the club a fee to reinstate you. It does not happen automatical-ly. FNB Namibia Coastal Open - This weekend we host one of the prestigious Namibian golf events, the FNB Namibia Coastal Open. Remember, the course will be closed as from 12:00 to-day in preparation. Those who are playing, please note that the use of alcohol on the course will result in disquali-fication. A big thanks to the Munici-pality of Walvis Bay for fix-ing the Golf Club Avenue surface.
