inside Two matriculants in deadly accident New hours after writing final examinations brewery at Swakop Erwin Leuschner

Four young Swakopmund residents were involved in a deadly car accident on the C14 gravel road in the vicinity of the Gaub Pass on Tuesday evening. The accident claimed the life of 18-year-old Saskia de Beer. Two of the occupants who survived the accident were Grade 12 learners of the Swakopmund Private School. They only hours earlier wrote their final exams. According to one of the parents the friends were on their way to go camping in the Namib Naukluft Park for three days. As some still attended school that morning they only left later in the day. They were travelling

in a Nissan NP300 four wheel drive pick-up and were pulling a camping trailer. At about 22:00, about 50 kilometers before Solitaire at the first descent of the Gaub Pass, the driver allegedly lost control over the vehicle. Sour-

ces speculate the camping trailer was the cause, resulting in the pick-up to ultimately overturn and come to a rest on its roof. There were four occupants in the vehicle. The 19-year-old female driver is a Swakopmund resident. Her

injuries were described as minor. De Beer, who was working in Swakopmund, passed away at the scene. The remaining two occupants were learners of the Private School Swakopmund (PSS). One sustained a leg injury while the other was admitted in a hospital in Windhoek and is currently in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Yesterday his condition was descri-

bed as stable. He is expected to make a full recovery. “This is very tragic. We are speechless”, said Hein Daiber, principal of the Private School Swakopmund (PSS), to namib times yesterday. The deceased Saskia de Beer matriculated in 2016. Family and friends described her as a lively, friendly person, always willing to assist. She was known to have a beautiful and unique soul and always

lived life to the fullest, as she said herself: “Life is short, so love the one you've got.” The accident also sparked outrage, especially amongst the paramedic fraternity. Only state ambulances were dispatched by the Motor Vehicle Accident Fund (MVA) to assist the injured. “There was no advanced life support backup sent out, even though the MVA was

A truck carrying break bulk sulphur powder spilled some of its content close to the main gate of the port of Walvis Bay on Tuesday morning, setting into action a swift environmental clean-up operation. All the relevant emergency services assisted, which include the Walvis Bay traffic department to cordon off traffic from the contaminated area as well as the hazardous waste management services of the municipality. A clean-up team of the company responsible for the load of sulphur cleaned the area, whereafter the fire brigade conducted the final cleaning by hosing off the area. The sulphur was destined for Rio Tinto's Rössing Mine where it is used in the production of sulphuric acid. Rössing uses sulphuric acid in its leeching process when uranium is separated from the mined ore.

MEDIA RELEASE:

The 2017 HAN Congress and HTTF officially launched Namibia Breweries Limited (NBL) – a subsidiary of the Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group – is once again proud to continue the journey as main sponsor of the annual 2017 Hospitality Association of Namibia (HAN) Congress, HAN Tourism Trade Forum (HTTF), as well its 30th anniversary Gala as part of this year's program. At the launch event which took place at the NBL Headquarters in Windhoek this week, Managing Director of NBL, Wessie van der Westhuizen handed over a cheque of N$130 000 to HAN National Chairman, Shepherd Chinhoi – up from last year's N$100 000.00. Van der Westhuizen: “NBL has for the past 27 years enjoyed a fruitful and longstanding relationship with HAN. We have become more than just partners in promoting and marketing a sustainable tourism industry – in fact, we are more like family. Therefore, we are and remain committed to the cause as can best be described in the O&L Purpose of “Creating a future, enhancing life. The tourism industry presents countless growth opportunities for us, BUT - we need to seize them by raising our game and gear up for growth. We must uplift our value proposition, innovate and transform ourselves to rise above competition. It cannot be business as usual. Namibia is a fantastic brand! It has a great offering for tourists and even locals to experience the time of their lives. Therefore, marketing the brand is a key element for success, and in promoting Namibia as a brand, everyone's goal should be to strive for equity, where input and output are well balanced and result in optimal results.” Van der Westhuizen further highlighted on NBL's commitment in support of local tourism with reference to other initiatives supported by the company. These include the Save the Rhino campaign; Television programmes like 'Groen Namibie' (aired on DSTV's KykNet channel) & Wild Jobs Namibia (Season 3 aired on local broadcaster, NBC). These programmes are proudly sponsored by NBL's Premium Beer Brand, Windhoek Lager. NBL is also a partner with the Intelligence Support Against Poaching (ISAP); the Fish River Ultra Marathon (with all proceeds going to the Ministry of Environment & Tourism (MET), and has the Tafel Lite/Light Educational drive at the annual Tourism Expo, amongst others. According to HAN Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Gitta Paetzold, Namibia's tourism industry has made tremendous strides, with the past two years seeing some of the highest visitor numbers ever recorded. Paetzold: “As HAN reaches a major milestone this year, able to look back on 30 years of service to the Namibian tourism industry, the organization is eager to reflect on

and plan for a sustainable tourism industry for the next decades together with its key partners and stakeholders, who jointly contribute to the success of this industry. Together with its valued and trusted sponsors and partners, HAN has realized that in view of global developments, be they environmental or political, it has become obvious that the world is changing rapidly and the ability and responsibility to adapt to such changes is vital to ensure continued business success. The massive growth in tourism in Namibia calls for thorough review and strategic planning to ensure continued and sustainable growth, making this year's HAN event all the more important.” Other sponsors for the 2017 activities include Standard Bank Namibia, Bannerman Resources and Air Namibia. This year's program will include an Awards Gala to celebrate HAN's 30th Anniversary in style. The evening includes internationally renowned musicians and entertainers as well as magicians to mesmerize guests and inspire us all to be ready for the challenges to come. Paetzold: “For the 2017 event, HAN will provide a platform for the entire tourism industry and all participants to 'work towards an awakening, changing world'. Interactive engagement with the renowned international facilitator Saffron Baggallay will enable delegates to recognize the challenges of a changing world and identify individual potential and responsibility to adapt and manage such changes effectively, to be able to run successful businesses. This is an opportunity not to be missed, and HAN is confident that this interaction will enable not only this association, but all its members and participants to the Congress and Trade Forum to step into the next decade with confidence and adaptive skills needed in this ever-changing environment, and more importantly, to do this as a unified team of tourism service providers! The HAN Congress will take place on Thursday, 23 November at the Safari Hotel Conference Centre, followed by a tourism networking cocktail at the Safari Hotel Pool Area, while the HTTF takes place the next day at the Nossob Hall at Safari, with the 30th Anniversary Gala in the evening at the Namib Conference Hall.

NamPol intervenes at Paheye Primary School in Omaruru Sharlien Tjambari This week members of the Namibian Police had to cut down locks from the gates of Paheye Primary School in Omaruru after parents changed the locks on the gates on Monday and refused to remove them to keep learners from entering the school premises. The incident is directly linked to parents' dissatisfaction with the exodus of good teachers who are not happy with the school anymore.

Parents allegedly locked down the school after they learned that teachers at the school were resigning due to various issues with the school's Principal, Martha Garises. According to sources, a total of 430 learners of Paheye Primary School did not

attend school on Monday due to the lockdown. The showdown between parents and the principal started at the beginning of the year when Garises was appointed as the school principal. Parents were not happy with the Ministry of Education's decision and felt that Garises did

not have sufficient qualifications compared to Wilhelmine Mate, who was the acting headmaster. The Namibian Police's Regional Commander in Erongo, Commissioner Andreas Nelumbu confirmed to namib times he ordered police officers at Omaruru to intervene in the matter. He instructed police officers to tell the parents to remove the changed locks. “I told them if the parents refuse to remove the locks, the officials should cut them. That was done and so some pupils are going to school now, but not everybody is going to school because the influence is so big. Some pupils, who want to attend school, are left to do so. Others stay away in solidarity with dissatisfied parents, said Commissioner Nelumbu. Nelumbu says the “situation is very bad” because some people do not think of the future of the children. He added that he has letters on his table from parents of pupils at Paheye Primary School.

“They are notifying us that they want to have a peaceful demonstra-tion from 10-30 November. I informed the station comman-der at Omaruru to inform them that we have no problem with a demonstration, as long as they are doing it at least 500 metres away from the school premises. Learners who want to attend school should not be affected in any way”. If these guidelines are not honoured, we cannot allow the demonstration to continue, said Commissioner Nelumbu. Nelumbu also explained the parents do not even have a petition attached to their letter. “The parents fail to understand that their solution is not at the school but at the Ministry of Education. The principal is already their target in this whole thing and they have no answer for the children, unless they go to the ministry of education. We are observing that school. We have deployed police officers at the school.” Garises could not be reached for comment.

Swakopmund is fast making a comeback as the beer brewing capital of Namibia. A unique, new craft brewery is operating at Swakopmund since the end of September. It is called the Namib Dunes Craft Brewery and their product is now on sale at various restaurants and stores in Swakopmund. The two partners and brewers are Du Preez Calitz, who started brewing in his garage two years ago, and André Genis. Initially the team experimented with different recipes and brewed various beers. After noticing a business opportunity, the two visited craft brewers in South Africa and decided to go bigger. The brand-new brewing equipment arrived in Swakopmund in April 2017. With the assistance of family members, especially their sons, they built the brewery at Eastern Concepts complex located in the industrial area.

They then started experimenting with different recipes. “Our intention is to brew an Indian Pale Ale, a Blonde Ale, a Weissbier, an Irish Red and a Belgian Wittbier. So far, we have finalised our recipes for the Pale Ale and the Blonde Ale and are supplying this to the market and we are receiving great responses”, Calitz said to namib times. The beer is available in a number of restaurants and bottle stores in Swakopmund. “We have received requests from interested parties all over Namibia but at present we are limited by the capacity of our equipment”, he said.

Driving license revoked for drunken driving Walvis Bay resident Elizabeth Cronje’s driving license was revoked for one year, and she was slapped by a fine of N$20 000 or one year imprisonment, after Magistrate John Sindano found her guilty last week of drunken driving. Cronje was arrested on 6 February this year. As this was the fourth time that she was arrested and charged for drunken driving, a request for direct imprisonment for a period of 18 months was handed in by the state prosecutor, Sylvia Kauluma. In 2012 Cronje paid fines of N$6 000 and N$8 000 respectively and in 2015 paid a fine of N$10 000 for drunken driving convictions. The court wanted to revoke her driver's license in 2015, but she then pleaded with the Magistrate she is an estate agent and that due to her work she is in need of her driving license. Court records show during a previous court appearance Cronje told the court she had learned a lesson and would never drink and drive again. Walvis Bay municipal traffic chief Eben Platt welcomed the convictions. “The traffic department welcomes the amount that is set for the fine and that her driver's license been revoked by the magistrate for such a period. The traffic department supports the request made by the by the state prosecutor for direct imprisonment. Direct imprisonment for drunken driving is something the Ministry of Justice has to look into. With the festive season on hand the message is clear: stay away behind the steering wheel when you are under the influence of alcohol. Not even money will save you now.

The event was held at the Walvis Bay Town Hall on Saturday morning and saw hundreds of women turning out to support this annual brunch gathering. Several guest speakers shared their experiences in their respective journeys with cancer. They also motivated those battling cancer to keep up the good fight. Also speaking at the event was Dr Annelie Zietsman who shared with the audience cancer statistics in Namibia and how the prevalence of cancer grew in Namibia. Zietsman is an oncologist from Windhoek and said many small lifestyle changes could possibly prevent cancer. The event gave a true sense to “Women Who Care”.

The deceased was identified as Joel Somseb (37). According to Nampol spokesperson in Erongo, Deputy Commissioner Erastus Iikuyu, Somseb engaged in an argument with his live-in partner, Ms Rosalia Afrikaner (44). Afrikaner bought a bottle of Tassenberg and refused to share with Somseb. During this argument Somseb allegedly slapped his girlfriend twice in the face. She entered their home without retaliating to the assault. Somseb decided to move out of the house, but said he will first destroy everything which he had contributed to as improvements to the house. He started with the windows by smashing it with clenched fists. In the process he sustained a deep cut wound to the inside of his right forearm.

They are recovering in the care of the Seabird and Penguin Rehabilitation Centre in Swakopmund. Since 1997, Dr Sandra Dantu and Mark Boorman have been taking care of injured penguins, found by the public along the central coast – but this has been the quietest year so far with the least number of penguins they have taken in for care. Under normal circumstances one would argue this is a good sign, but just the opposite is true. Finding fewer penguins each year that need care simply means there are less penguins on our coastline. "It is a big concern", explained Dr Dantu to namib times. The population of the Africa penguin along the Namibian coast is on a sharp decline. Once abundant, the species is facing extinction. The penguin is listed as endangered on the IUCN. The population, which breeds in Namibia and South Africa, has declined by 95% since pre-industrial times. Thys Rossouw Poached?

The Cessna 210 that made an emergency landing on the B2 coastal road near Langstrand on Thursday late afternoon was flown out again by an experienced pilot on Saturday. Traffic on the B2 coastal road was brought to a standstill to allow for the pilot to take off from the main road. Dozens of people witnessed this very rare occasion. In the meantime, it was established the plane was only slightly damaged when one of its wings clipped a road sign during the emergency landing on Thursday. The damage did not influence the plane's ability to fly. Fuel starvation is at this stage believed to be the cause of the incident. The pilot had two passengers, both foreign nationals, onboard when on Thursday late afternoon he was returning to Swakopmund from a scenic flight. The aircraft's engine without warning stopped, prompting the pilot to steer the aircraft to the B2 coastal road and executing a gliding landing. Werner van Zyl The opening line: "Langstrand emergency landing: plane ran out of fuel after pilot failed to switch to reserve tank" Last section: It is a matter of big speculation at this moment in the aviation fraternity whether the pilot did not follow procedures to switch to the reserve fuel tank, resulting in the main tank running empty and the engine cut out. So the opening line makes it sound like a fact while the last section states it is only speculation. So what is it namib times? Fact or Speculation?

No special treatment for Hai-//om San living in Swakopmund 78 Members of the Hai-//om San Traditional Authority residing in Swakopmund recently applied for residential plots in the coastal town. Town Council decided not to give the group special preferential treatment, but encouraged the members to participate in the housing registration exercise instead. In total there are about 300 Hai-//om San community members residing in Swakopmund. They are being represented by the Hai-//om San Traditional Authority. In February, the traditional authority sent a letter to the Swakopmund Town Council explaining the plight of its members. “Hai-//om San Community is the oldest indigenous com-munity in Namibia, which is still disadvantaged in some cases because of the social economic and educational status, and is also vulnerable (sic)”, the letter states. [Apart from the San, which are the only true first people of Namibia, all other ethnic groups in the country had their origins elsewhere in Africa and other parts of the world.] Ian J Izaacs I can understand that there us clearly policies that give prefriantional treatment to previous disadvantage people that do discriminate against other Namibians but now it is a issue to assist these marginalised indigenous group because ut will vome down to discrimination.

Open Market in DRC standing unused The business community of the DRC informal settlement is increasingly unhappy with the Swakopmund Municipality which constructed an open market for business people in the area, but years have passed during which the facility is unoccupied. The open market, also known as Omatara, in DRC was built sometime in 2011. There are many people in DRC who sell their products from street corners, because the municipality has not given a go-ahead to use the open market. The open market is now surrounded by shacks, litter and human waste. During a visit to DRC, namib times spoke to various street vendors to establish if they are interested in using the open market, should Council decide to open it. Ian J Izaacs Dus n klomp .....verskonings. Daar verkoop hul onwetig op straat hoeke sonder toilets en skaduwee.

EME Erongo Harambee Trust give workers real ownership Piquet Jacobs in horse mackerel fishery Walvis Bay horse mackerel operator, Erongo Marine Enterprises (EME), has launched its Erongo Harambee Trust recently whereby shares had been issued to its employees. The launch of the trust took place on Saturday evening with Vice-President Nickey Iyambo and the Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Bernhard Esau witnessing this milestone moment for empowerment in the fishing sector. The beneficiaries of the Trust includes the 160 employees of EME who are not in management positions. Annual dividends to these shareholers are projected at around N$30 000 annually. Vice President Iyambo, who officiated at the launch, applauded the company for taking up the initiative which is aimed at empowering employees. He added the initiative not only falls in line with Namibia's Harambee Prosperity Plan, but it is also a trailblazer in move to the proposed New Equitable Economic Empowerment Framework (NEEEF). The aim of the NEEEF is to provide a clear, overarching policy framework into which all other policies will slot. The NEEEF will supersede all other transformation and empowerment policies of Government as well as provide the framework within which all private sector initiatives, past and future will be expected to conform to. Also speaking at the event, the managing director of Erongo Marine Enterprises, Martha Uumati, that the initiative is not only to benefit the employees through shared resources, but part of their corporate social responsibility.

Municipality of Walvis Bay's Multi-Media Training Programme (endorsed by TIKA) With the aim of up-skilling unemployed youth at the coast, the Municipality of Walvis Bay has completed the first instalment of the Multi-Media training programme for youth trainers. Speaking at the graduation ceremony on Tuesday, Alderman Immanuel Wilfried, Mayor of Walvis Bay commended the young graduates for their hard work and encouraged them to use the skills acquired to not only make a difference but to start up their own businesses to add value to their communities. At the same event, Mr Abdul Kadir Abukan (Country Coordinator of the TIKA Windhoek Programme) said to date; TIKA Windhoek has implemented 70 projects amounting to N$20 million in the education and agriculture sector. “This training programme was one of our few projects of its kind, but we are very happy with its success. It encouraged us to develop similar projects. I am sure that my young friends who will receive their certificates today will use what they have learned and be successful in their lives�. The initiative was prompted after the Ambassador of the Republic of Turkey, Deniz Cakar handed over high-tech media equipment worth N$420 000 to the Municipality of Walvis Bay on behalf of the Turkish International Cooperation Coordinating Agency (TIKA) in October 2015. The programme aims to equip young people based at the coast with skills in handling multi-media equipment such as videography, pre and post film production, graphic design and photography. Ideally, they should then be empowered to start their own businesses. Furthermore, the idea is to encourage home-grown talent to showcase skills that highlight Walvis Bay's beauty and contrasting landscapes which have attracted a wide range of film makers and investors. The next instalment of trainers will be communicated in the media in due course. The Municipality's selection criteria will consider disadvantaged youth with a passion for multi-media. Applicants are usually encouraged to submit persuasive motivations and will be selected by a panel of communication practitioners. All enquiries regarding the programme should be directed to the Public Relations & Customer Service Division at 064-2013394.

Walvis Bay plays host to the biggest seismic survey vessel on the planet Floris Steenkamp

Walvis Bay was honoured twice now by the call at the port of Walvis Bay of the largest seismic survey vessel on the planet. The ship, Ramform Atlas, this week again spent a few days alongside to bunker up her supplies and a crew change. Upon invitation namib times paid an onboard visit recently to Ramform Atlas along-side at berth number eight. The Master of the vessel, Captain Anders Hansson, received the author of the article aboard. From the outset when you lay your eyes upon the ship you would know she is different from any other seismic survey vessel. Apart from being the largest, she is different in that she does not have the conventional shape of a seagoing vessel, in

other words a forward section, mid-ship and aft section. Ramform Atlas is built in a triangular shape. The ship-experts refer to a delta-shape ship design and the reporter, a laymen in ship design, prefers to refer to a triangular design. See picture A on this page. To explain the reason for this very special shape or design, it is necessary to understand first what is seismic surveying and what instruments and tools are needed to get the job done.

Captain Anders Hansson and selected members of the crew in the guided tour provided the most fascinating look into the world of seismic surveying and how it is done aboard the ship. To grasp the concept of why mankind needs seismic surveying on the world's oceans, let us take our lesson from a bread, freshly baked from the oven. To determine whether the bread is baked thoroughly, the baker would tap his or her index finger against the bread and with a tilted head listen to the sound wave produced by the tapping. A thoroughly baked bread makes a “hollow� sound and a half-baked bread produces a thumb-like noise that begs for more oven heat. In seismic surveying, huge tubes called arrays are populated with air guns, which are used to generate acoustic pressure waves. These air guns are towed behind the vessel at a certain depth below the sea surface. Simultaneously, long streamers containing instruments to record the acoustic pressure wave generated by the air guns are also towed behind the vessel. The air guns are triggered to release the compressed air. The sound waves produced by this powerful decompressing of the air guns travels through the water into the seabed. As the sound wave travels through the subterranean structures of the seabed, the special acoustic instruments in the stringers picks up different sound wave lengths and signals it to a hitech control room onboard. Much like the sound wave generated by tapping an index finger against the bread, the acoustics picked up from the sound waves are transformed into a structure of the sub surface geology, which geologist and geophysicists use to interpret and try to find patterns where hydrocarbons might have accumulated This data accumulated by seismic survey activities, as is undertaken by Ramform Atlas is the lifeline for the global oiland gas industry. When seismic survey data looks promising it attracts investors who undertakes oil- and gas exploration activities based on this data. Once economically viable oil or gas deposits are found, oil- and gas extraction companies are ready to invest into resources to extracting these fossil fuel resources and

thereby keep the planets industries going. Apart from being a scientific marvel when it comes to seismic surveying, Ramform Atlas is also a home away from home for its crew of some eighty people. She boasts the world's only basketball court at sea, complete with a state-of-the art gymnasium, sauna and computer games room for the crew to relax, stay fit and socialise. The crew is multi-national, but aboard Ramform Atlas everyone is one big family. The crew works as one team and love to engage in recreational activities that promote team work and a sense of oneness. An open deck swimming pool, cafeteria that serves from snacks to five star meals, a gig area complete with a drum set, electric guitars and other music instruments make one easily forget you are on the planets biggest seismic research vessel and not a passenger ship. But as you would appreciate: this is after all a working, ocean-going vessel where danger lurks around every corner. Safety always comes first. In fact, Ramform Atlas' delta-shape design primarily has safety in mind. Conventional seismic survey ships have narrow aft sections into which seismic survey equipment and tools are crammed into small, dangerous work areas. However, with her wide aft section from which all equipment are spread and deployed from a larger operational area, work is safer and easier for everyone aboard Ramform Atlas. Just to set you at ease for the unthinkable – there is a fully equipped medical facility aboard Ramform Atlas with a medical doctor on fulltime deployment. The facility can treat the occasional crew member that falls ill and can stabilise and prepare an injured person for air evacuation. For the time being it is still a closely guarded secret where Ramform Atlas is conducting seismic surveying. The fact that the ship is calling at Walvis Bay since earlier this year only tells you the survey cruises are targeting potential oil- and gas resources off the west coast of Southern Africa. The oil- and gas industry is very competitive. Information and data is precious and silence is golden.

Raith Gourmet Gelateria erstrahlt in neuen Formen und Farben Swakopmund (sk) - Am Abend des 31. Oktober gab es im obersten Stock des Delikatessengeschäfts Raith Gourmet Gelateria eine Halloween-Fète passend zum Volksfest am Abend vor Allerheiligen („All Hallows Day“ oder auch „All Saints Day“). Das “neue Kleid” dieses beliebten Betriebes wurde eingeweiht. Angefangen hatte es mit einer Idee von Xenia, der Tochter des Eigentümer-Ehepaars Christel und Thomas Raith, die sich für Innenarchitektur interessiert und die gesehen hat, dass sich die meisten Kunden eher im un-

Der obere Stock mit den funky Korbstühlen, die von der Decke baumeln, dem gemütlichen Ecksofa, den flippigen Sean Conneryund FriedenszeichenKissenbezügen, übermitteln einen jugendlichen Hauch, der zum “Chillen” und ausgedehnten Genießen einlädt. Auch sonst hat Raith Gourmet Gelateria zukünftig - und vor allem für die bevostehende Saison - einiges vor. Es wird einen Cocktail-Abend sowie eine “Happy Hour” geben. Am 17. November wird erst einmal den ganzen Tag lang eine Schmuckausstellung von Barbara Weyland von Chameleon Beads in den neuen Räumlichkeiten zu besichtigen sein. Übrigens gibt es außer dem frischen Kleid mindestens zwei weitere Gründe, dem Cafè in der Tobias Hainyeko-Straße einen ausgiebigen Besuch abzustatten: hier gibt es die knackigsten Brötchen in ganz Swakopmund, und für jeden Kaffee mit Kuchen, die man bestellt, gibt es zur Zeit ein gratis Glas Sekt. Das Halloween-Thema passt übrigens. Die Kelten glaubten damals, dass an Halloween die "Grenze zwischen den Welten" offen sei - so offen, wie hoffentlich die Türen zu Raith Gourmet Gelateria!

Schwer vom Stuhl Für immer und nie wieder Liebe Küstenleser! In dem Lied “Für immer” der Münchner Musikgruppe Megaherz heißt es: ,,Wir dachten, es wäre für immer. Wir hielten zusammen in schwerer Zeit, waren für jede Schlacht bereit, und wir dachten, es wäre für immer.” Eine Strophe des Gedichts “Augen in der Großstadt” von Kurt Tucholsky lautet: “Du gehst dein Leben lang auf tausend Straßen; du siehst auf deinem Gang, die dich verga-

Dennoch sind wir nicht darauf vorbereitet, welch erbarmungslose Bedeutung es hat, wenn man dabei ist, einen geliebten Menschen langsam ganz zu verlieren - dieses verdammt schmerzhafte

Auch wenn man sich noch so viel gestritten hat, den anderen immer wieder auf den Mond schießen wollte, so viele Diskrepanzen das gemeinsame Leben erschwert haben, hey, dieses “für immer” tut einfach unbeschreiblich weh. Plötzlich schrumpfen so viele Dinge, die man im Leben als wichtig erachtet hat, zu einem kümmerlichen, unbedeutenden Häufchen Asche zusammen. Ich habe noch nie einen Menschen verloren, der mir sehr, sehr wertvoll und in meinem Leben unendlich wichtig war und ist und

auch “für immer” bleiben wird. Und ich habe auch noch nie einen Hurrikan erlebt, aber ich stelle mir in meinem derzeitigen Zustand vor, in einem Hurrikan zu sein. Dieser Sturm, der in einem wütet und einen wegzublasen droht, ist destruktiv, unberechenbar, einsam und es scheint, als sei er un-

Jene Worte dieser Woche NEIN-Gedicht Ich nehm mir vor, ein NEIN zu wagen, nicht immer nur mein JA zu sagen. Doch ist es so, an manchen Tagen, da häufen sich in mir die Fragen, ob dieses NEIN so einfach ginge, ob ich nicht mehr noch mit mir ringe, um andere nicht zu verletzten, anstatt mich einfach durchzusetzen? Ein NEIN, das ist recht kantig, schnittig und selten brav, dies ist nicht strittig. Es erntet wenig Lob und Ehre, von denen ich mich meistens nähre. Es mag jedoch mich von den Massen hervorzuheben, nicht zuzulassen dies Schwimmen mit des Stromes Welle, an dessen Ende ich zerschelle. Drum hilf, oh Gott, mir NEIN zu sagen, wenn andre nur mein JA erfragen, lass mich mein NEIN mit Würde tragen, auch wenn sie über mich dann klagen. Anonym

Die Winde jedoch beuteln einen hin und her, und her und hin, und der ganze Schutt des Universums fliegt einem um die Ohren. Ich weiss jetzt erst, was Sie alle, die Sie dabei sind, einen geliebten Menschen zu verlieren oder bereits verloren haben, durchmachen bzw. an Verzweiflung erleben. Es mag für Sie nach einem Klischee und nach einer Verzerrung der Realität klingen, aber das ist mir egal.

National Darts trail at Walvis Bay A total of sixty darts players from six of the fourteen regions in the country turned up for the National Darts trail that is under way at the Narraville Primary School Hall in Walvis Bay. The trails are hosted by the Namibian Darts Federation to select the best players to represent Namibia at the Zone Six Championships in Botswana at the end of August 2018.

Mr Paul Fisher welcomed all the players and the management of the federation to the harbour town of Namibia and said in the opening remark that “if the eye sees that the hand precisely does what the brain thinks then we can be all winners”. The teams that will be selected are men's and women's veterans with two players in each team and their manager; the senior men's team with six players and one manager; a senior women's team with four players and one manager; the youth team with two men and two women players each. The Secretary General of the Federation Mr Naobeb is not happy with the fact that there are no youth and junior players at the trials and then mentioned that the Federation will have the trails for the youth and juniors next year. The Chairman of the Khomas Region said that the Federation is not doing enough for the youth dart players in the country. He also felt that darts should be one of the sports code at the NSSU. The President of the Federation Mr Ralph Ludwig said that national players will not contribute any money for the championships in Botswana as they (the players) need to concentrate on the games. We as the management do not want the National players to stress about the finances for the championships

in Botswana. He further said that dart players need to step up and make the deference, in showing the Namibian nation and the world that you can play darts without drinking any alcohol during the games. Only the best and disciplined players will be selected. Mr Ludwig also said that after the tournament the Federation will donate four dart boards to Narraville Primary school. Tomorrow will be an open dart tournament and everyone is welcome to enter. The registration fee will be N$100. If you are interested to play against the best in the country you can call Mr Frans Husfieldt at 0811483371. The open tournament will start at 08:00 and the games at 09:00.
