NAMPORT SEAL THE DEAL

Residents from Swakopmund and Henties Bay rushed to try and save a badly injured washed up Sperm Whale on the beach between the two towns on Wednesday morning.

Members of the Fire-brigade, the Ministry of Fisheries and E-Med Rescue were the first to arrive to the 10 meter whale who was desperately rolling on the shore line as enormous waves collided with its body, crashing each time with a resounding boom.

On their day off, Brendon Scott and

Louw Greef from E-Med Rescue took to co-ordinating the rescue attempt, and with a handful of volunteers desperately tried to push the whale back into the water, but had to stop as the rising tide made the circumstances increasingly dangerous for the volunteers.

Everyone had to sit back and watch helplessly as the animal tried to roll itself back into the ocean, until members of the Namibian Dolphin Project arrived from Walvis Bay and informed the hopeful folks that virtually nothing could be done to save the Sperm Whale.

Thief Catches a Free RideSiglinde de Villiers

Last week a coastal resident was shocked to find out that she unknowingly had been driving a man around with her. Zee Kufuna only learned about he incident when she parked at the

International School, and some students came downstairs to tell her that they had observed a suspicious male stealthily get out of her car.

Zee said that she drives a Jeep where the back windows have been

tinted, reducing visibility from the outside.

“The man was driving around with me and no-one could see it,” she said.

“I went to the Venus ATM to draw some money,” Zee related.

“It was very quiet. The only people in the street were the security guard at the ATM and a newspaper vendor.”

Zee continued to explain that her anonymous passenger must have intercepted her remote control

signal that locks her car with the intent to steal whatever he could find in the car. According to Zee, she later found some money and her earphones missing.

“The person that broke into my car did not expect me to return so

N$3 Billion Namport Tender Deal SealedDorcas Mhungu

According to the Chief Executive Officer of Namport, Bisey /Uirab, the upcoming N$3 billion Namport new terminal project value, is equivalent to three percent of Namibia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). After completion the terminal will triple the port’s capacity and unleash another N$500 million per year as value-added to the country’s economy.

The tender was awarded to the sole finalist China Harbour Engineering Company. /Uirab said the multi-billion tender was the country’s largest single investment since Namibia became independent in 1990.

The contract requires the contractor, CHE, to allocate 30 percent of the work to Namibian owned companies, of which five percent must be allocated to local Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

“The concept of an expanded

port facility at Walvis Bay has been considered for many years. However, it was not until Namibia and all the countries in the region achieved independence and full democratic status that this vision was able to gather momentum. Upon transfer of the assets of Walvis Bay in 1994 to Namibia, the Port of Walvis Bay was identified as a gateway to the SADC region due to its locality, natural harbour and port efficiencies,” /Uirab reminisced.

He said Namport’s handling capacity grew in leaps and bounds from 2000 containers per year over the last decade to the current 350 000 containers and noted that the new terminal will push the capacity to a million TEU.

/Uirab paid tribute to the critical role played by the Walvis Bay Corridor Group (WBCG) and its efforts to develop sustainable volumes for the port by providing secure and

reliable access to neighbouring countries.

“The Walvis Bay Corridor Group is an integral part of that evolution and I am pleased to note that the African Development Bank is also signing an agreement today for a Capacity building initiative for the WB – Ndola – Lubumbashi Corridor administered by the WBCG. In many ways, the WBCG is a leading agent of Namibia’s ambition to be the Logistics Hub of the SADC region as envisioned in our National Development Plan 4,” /Uirab said.

China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC), Uirab said, amongst their other projects, have built the world’s busiest container terminal, the Port of Shanghai and the 32 km-long Donghai Bridge.

“I have complete faith that our New Container Terminal will be a facility that will make Namibians proud for decades to come,” /Uirab said.

According to Dr. Tess Gridley, the whale is too large to safely steer back into the ocean, and weighs anywhere between 20 to 30 tons.

Sperm Whales, she continued, are deep sea mammals, and there is virtually no way this whale can be reintroduced back to its environment, as it is crushing under its own weight while out on the beach floor.

Dr Simon Elwen cleared up the speculations surrounding the strange and very clear scars on the whale’s body, which looked like those from a ship’s propeller or a net, but are in actual fact from the teeth of another Sperm whale, which would point towards a natural death.

Unfortunately, this sad event didn’t have a happy ending, but

quickly and had not time to get out and away. So he stayed put and simply pulled the door closed,” Zee said.

“When I started driving, my car did make a warning sound, but since I could not figure out what it was I switched the alarm signal off.”

According to Zee, when she parked at the International School she noticed a guy advancing towards her from the back of her car and she quickly changed her purse from her one hand to under her arm.

“He came toward me onto the sidewalk and would probably have mugged me if I had not noticed him.

“When he realised that I was aware of him he casually

crossed the street and strolled on towards Woolworths side.”

It chilled her to the bone when Zee found out that this man had been her passenger.

“It was only when the Grade 6 learners told me that they saw the guy crawl out and get down from the back passenger side of my car that I realised what had happened.”

Zee expressed how glad she was that her small daughter, who usually accompanies her in the baby car seat at the back, was not with her in the car on that day. “I really feel horrible about the incident.

“I was in such a hurry and did not expect it at all. If I had been driving to my home or even a more remote location, instead

of the school, who knows what could have happened,” she exclaimed.

On Wednesday morning yet another group of car thieves robbed a 30-year-old local resident in the Industrial Area, right in front of Bathroom World parking area.

“I was in my car on my phone,” she relates, “when he opened my car door and tried to grab my phone.”

However, this served as a distraction, while a second thief softly opened up the passenger sided door and silently stole the lady’s handbag.

“I screamed and when I looked at the passenger seat my handbag was gone.

“I saw a guy running towards

Thief Catches a Free Ride

town and the other one who tried to distract me towards the Industrial Area,” she said.

The lady also mentioned that she saw another two guys running away, assuming that they were also part of the group.

“Seconds after the incident occurred

the police drove by and I called them over. We all started looking for my handbag but nothing was found.”

The public is advised to be aware of who is around them and ensure that their car doors are locked at all times.

Badly Hurt Sperm Whale Found on Beachit did open up discussion on how unprepared and untrained we are to deal with this sort of tragedy in the future.

Opinion Piece by Lavrenty Repin

So the government is in quite a dilemma at present over the situation taking place in the DRC. David, the chairman of DRC, has been illustrated in most publications in Namibia, as the crusader of the struggling impoverished residents of the shanty town while the Swakopmund municipality is more frequently on the receiving end of cynical questioning and suspicious glances.

Of course nothing is black and white, and both the municipality and the DRC group have gone out of their way to paint a very different picture, one that attracts the most public attention to their cause, because these bureaucrats perceive the public like some kind of moths that will flock to the light burning most brightest, who knows maybe they’re right.

But now, the proverbial game has become more solemn, after the DRC decided to blackmail the municipality by withdrawing from next year’s National elections and handing back almost 8000 voting cards.

Suddenly this has become a National problem, since 8000 voters is quite a substantial number. So how does the Government respond to this act? If they cave in and meet the conditions, it may incite many such tactics around Namibia, on the other hand if the Government continues to ignore these peoples pleas, they will lose out on 8000 votes, votes that they’ve been pushing for relentlessly

by (apparently) dividing land and holding Gazza concerts all over the place, so this refusal to vote can cause quite a bit of anarchistic disorder – not the best thing for democracy.

The time when the Swakopmund mayor called this people a handful of “enemies to progress” that are not a threat, but rather a nuisance has now past. Although when protesters camped outside municipal grounds, it was an inconvenience, it also put the municipality under a good light, since they allowed this peaceful demonstration to go on for over a week, flaunting their respect for the democratic right to protest.

This next strategic move however, makes the municipality look as if they’re so out of touch with the people’s needs that the people have given up on their democratic right to vote, and have become weary of the government and the system; that assumption, I believe, is equally inaccurate.

For those that don’t know, and I suspect that there is quite a number of you, what the issue is about, I will try to explain as blatantly as I can the way that I see it. Probably an inaccurate account, but as good as any really.

People want land. The municipality wants to give people land, but first the municipality wants to register those people that live illegally, so that they can also benefit from this housing project. However, since the registration card says that once you sign this paper, the municipality has the right to evict you

within 21 days, many have become weary and frightened by the very real prospect that they might end up on the streets.

The municipality stresses that they will not evict anyone until they built new property, but need to include the eviction clause for precaution.

However they haven’t included the “we will provide affordable housing before we evict you” clause in the registration form, so obviously the people don’t believe in this promise. Are you still following?

Now the problem is, if they do sign off on the promise of land, anyone who has signed this form and hasn’t been allocated a piece of land (for an array of numerous sensible potential reasons) would be able to take the municipality to court.

Also, those residing illegally assume that

if they don’t sign the paper they somehow remain in justice limbo, neither illegal nor legal. I’d say that this is probably an erroneous assumption.

I can understand that some people have been told for ten years that they are allegeable for land, waiting patiently on waiting lists, and are still yet to receive it.

But the argument remains that these people, whether or not of their fault, are residing illegally, and although their human right should not be affected by that, the complications behind the issue are substantially greater for all parties involved.

Neither side is willing to compromise, which, if I’m not mistaken, is the core of democracy – if all else fails, and you’ve run out of diplomatic loopholes, remember that you can always resort to compromise.

Kulila - First Music Video Released by The All Sorts

Siglinde de Villiers

Even though they are only a year old, The All Sorts have released their first music video, entitled ‘Kulila’, which is of an international standard. The Namib Independent obtained an exclusive interview with two band members, to find out more about the band as well as the production of ‘Kulila’.

The All Sorts feature mainly percussion and string instruments, however, one may wonder as to how they conceived such an interesting name.

Gerson Dollar answered, “It was quite a struggle to find a name for ourselves because our band is a combination of Spanish, Afrikaans, American and Oshiwambo cultures.

“However, a year ago, we simply stumbled upon the name ‘The All Sorts’ and I think it describes us quite well. In the end music is not about a specific culture but about sharing your culture.”

Alberto Bazan added, “Under different circumstances, our different personalities and backgrounds would be quite a culture clash, however music is what has brought us together.

“We got to know each other through music and started to play and make music together. What started out as an experiment is now ‘The All Sorts’.”

The All Sorts have invented their own music genre, and are able to present their audiences with something unique.

“We cannot tell you what we are playing, only that it is completely different to what people are used to,” Alberto explained.

“There is no music genre into which our music can be categorised for it has something of each one of our cultures in it, and is a one and only mix of style and tradition.”

How do The All Sorts match with their contemporaries in Namibia?

“We do not need a large setup in order to perform. We can go and play in the middle of the street in a matter of minutes and produce good music,” Gerson answered. “It just makes life so much easier.

“We are not really there to compete. A song that comes from the heart never loses its character and the songs we write all come from our hearts.”

Alberto explained, “Many artists try and

imitate other musicians and their styles. In that sense we are unique for there is no style that we imitate, just our own style that we invent.”

'Kulila' is the first music video created by The All Sorts in collaboration with Namib Films. According to Gwen Swart, Prodcution Manager of Namib Films, they realised that there was a gap in the Namibian market for the production of international quality standard music videos for Namibian artists.

“We have designed a package deal to give artists the opportunity to compete on an international level as well as being aware of the cost of creating a music video of international standard without having to go through the time consuming budgeting process,” Swart said.

“Before we could launch the package deal,” she continued to explain, “we had to test the service product.

“We decided to do a pro-bono music video for a talented band. The selection process was rigorous and lasted for more than two months, However, The All Sorts proved their talent, were hard-working and humble, and thus came out on top.”

How did The All Sorts feel about the opportunity?

“It was a very extensive experience for us,” Alberto related. “First we had to record our song in Windhoek. Then we got to the filming. Five seconds on the music video actually took at least 40 minutes in reality to film.”

According to Gerson, 'Kulila' has a very deep symbolic message inscribed.

“It is very personal to me, a celebration of life but at the same time life is not always sweet.

“We are like a river that flows by the wind, moved along a course through circumstances beyond our control,” Gerson explained.

He also mentioned that The All Sorts have received invitations to tour Switzerland and Germany, however they still need to finalise their arrangements before they go. In the meantime they are working on recording an album consisting of songs that were written by the group.

“To create an album takes lots of funding and we first need to figure out how we are going to finance the project, before we can share it with the public,” Gerson concluded.

Rotary Fun Day Host to Cars, Camels and More

Laura Callard

Last Saturday morning saw a parade of classic cars and motorbikes lead curious folk to the SFC, where the first Annual Rotary Fun Day was held.

Well visited throughout the day, the Fun Day could boast with a huge jumping castle, a book sale and camel rides to mention but a few. The classic cars put on show attracted a lot of attention and more than a few pictures were taken. The oldest was from 1944 but the most admired was certainly the Chevrolet Biscagne. Other cars present were various Mercedes, a Rolls Royce and a Jaguar as well as a Chrysler Valiant.

One of the main attractions, however, was the Wedding Expo, the first of its kind at the coast. With exhibitors ranging from florists to Tupperware agents, every bride-to-be could expect to find something useful for her big day. Free cupcakes were apparently the theme, because at almost every second stand they were for the taking – in all forms and colours. A whole photo studio set up by Karl Andre Terblanche competed for attention with Amazing Designs’ beautiful wedding gowns. On the other end of the tent, Imke Engelhard showcased her magnificent jewellery while Upendi Wedding Videos offered videos taken in High Definition or even Blu-Ray.

Sweet Beginnings Cake Art & More

might have gotten a little lost in a corner of the tent but the samples free for brides-to-be, as well as cakes and brownies for sale provided sheer bliss for anyone who took the time to stop by.

A fantastic surprise for future brides was the, perhaps a little understated, coastal launch of Namibia’s very own Wedding Magazine, “Namibia Weddings”, available now at Spar and Fruit&Veg. The magazine will come out every three months and contains tips, tricks and feature brides.

To top it all off, a modelling show was to be held at 2pm. Since we live in Africa, it started – of course – a little late. Although there was only one set of models and the time between sets was long and awkwardly filled by a substitute MC, the dresses certainly outshone their circumstances. Some dresses were provided by Earth Boutique, but most of the gowns were part of Miss Teen Namibia 2012, Andeline Wieland’s Snow White project.

Andeline collects unused gowns and dresses to lend to girls who cannot afford a new dress for an event. She aims to spread the joy of feeling beautiful in an amazing dress, like she so often gets to do, among less privileged girls.

The Rotary Fun Day was officially ended on that note, but the organisers promised us a bigger and better event next year, which we are gladly looking forward to.

She Had It Coming - A Window Into the Twenties

Siglinde de Villiers

Friday and Saturday evening saw the International School of Walvis Bay hosting a carbaret performance in broadway theatre style. Guests were entertained by an exceptional performance and treated to a three course dinner complemented by expertly selected wines and champagne.

The performance told a story of an ordinary girl, Roxie, being noticed by a pianist who realises that her good looks and talent will take him to fame. Together, they enter the showbiz and fall in love as they tour Europe. However, once the duo tastes wealth and fame, Roxie becomes ever so more obsessed with money and attention. Her partner becomes jealous and breaks up with her for he has found himself another lover. Roxie is devastated and avenges herself by shooting her partner’s lover and spends the rest of her life in prison as a result.

She Had It Coming was one of the creative ideas explored by the talented and independent Esmay Campbell, producer of the performance piece. The cast consisted of Pieter van Helslandt and Louise

Oosthuizen, who have appeared in theatres all over South Africa, performing their broadway songs, which were mostly taken from Chicago and Carbaret.

Pieter van Helslandt started his piano training when he was 13 and has won many awards and competitions since then. He was one of the few who were selected to study under the tutelage of an internationally acclaimed concert pianist. His repertoire was skilfully demonstrated on stage as he let his fingers dance across the piano keys in the most captivating way.

Louise Oosthuisen hypnotised the audience with her unforgettable voice. This is Louis’ first performance in a leading role since arriving in Namibia in 2010.

As the guests arrived they were persuaded to purchase the International Herald from a newspaper boy, who had come straight from the day and age of the 20s, accent, attire and all. The International Herald provided some information on the cast, the performance itself as well as the wine list and buffet menu.

Decorated in black and white with lots of feathers and pearls, the venue imposed a 20s feel. The guests further added to the 20s vibe by their innovative, creative and imaginative attire. Men wore suspenders, ties and hats and the women adorned themselves with glamorous dresses and flowing scarves and all manner of assorted headwear. Pearls, dramatic make-up and cigarette holders completed the roaring 20s look.

Before the performance began, the audience was served broccoli soup sprinkled with feta cheese as a starter, followed by the first act. During the interval the audience had a buffet selection that was complimented by a sommelier wine collection. Desert followed after the last act, with apple crumple and Irish coffee rounding off the evening.

Walvis Bay Private High School Introduces Their Medical Committee

The Sport Committee of Walvis Bay Private High School (WBPHS), under the guidance of Deputy Prinicpal and GM Sport of WBPHS, Mr Wynand Moolman, assigned a Medical Committee to assist WBPHS with sport injuries that might

occur during future sport activities.The aim of the WBPHS Medical

Committee is to give WBPHS parents and learners who participate in sport, the surety that they will be in capable hands should a learner sustain any type of injury while

The Moth Sentrum - Taking a Stand For PeaceSiglinde de Villiers

The Memorable Order of Tin Hats (MOTH) is an exclusive organisation that has a vision of remembrance in opposition to forgetfulness. Members consist of ex-combatants who hate war and its

futility and now practice benevolence and friendship with the crowning ideal of helping humanity.

In an interview with the Namib Independent, Chairperson Lee Liguma and Secretary Hein Altmann shared the purpose and history of the MOTH Sentrum.

representing WBPHS in a sport event.The WBPHS Medical Committee members

are Physiotherapist Anna-Mart Kruger (Chairman), Dr Callie Rautenback and Dr Roche Pitout, Biokineticist Johan Esterhuyse, Dietician Karin Templinc, Dentist Dean Kock, Pharmacist Hendrik van Schalkwyk, Deputy Principal and General Manager for Sport Wynand Moolman and WBPHS Board of Directors Callie van Wyk.

The purpose of the WBPHS Medical Committee is to sufficiently and effectively handle any injuries that may occur during WBPHS sport activities.

In addition, the Committee serves to condition WBPHS athletes and sport teams and to make sure that WBHPS athletes and sport teams can recover optimally from any

injuries which may occur during a sport event. Also, the Medical Committee will advise

WBPHS coaches, parents, teachers and learners about correct warm-up procedures and improve universal communication between WBPHS coaches and medical professionals.

Another aim is to always have a Doctor or Physiotherapist either present at a WBPHS sporting event, or available on call. The contact details of the medical committee will be available on the WBPHS’s webpage.

The system is implemented purely to streamline the effective handling/diagnosis and treatement of acute injuries and ethical referral towards any individual’s doctor and medical professionals will be maintained at all times.

“The MOTH Sentrum was founded in 1927,” Hein said. “Our members meet in the Dug Out Shellhole to share our comradeship and past experiences in remembrance of those who did not return from the war.”

Hein further explained that when they come together they light the symbolic candle, situated on top of the tin hat, preserving front line comradeship which transcends race, rank and material worth, thus keeping alive the memory of their fallen comrades.

“The two bayonets that look like they have been thrust into the battlefield’s soil symbolize peace and are crossed to signify sacrifice and remembrance,” Lee said.

According to the History Book of the MOTH Sentrum, the twelve stars in the MOTH badge indicate the twelve hours of the day, a reminder that every hour presents opportunities of promoting harmony among mankind through tolerance and mutual help.

In addition to the symbolic tin hat and crossed Bayonets, the Dug Out Shellhole’s walls are covered with pictures of old war ships, the missiles they used and infantry medals, surrounded by many other war memorabilia.

The MOTH Sentrum also has a museum, exhibiting uniforms and war equipment that was worn and used in the wars that mark the

history of Namibia.According to Lee, members of the MOTH

Sentrum also wish to promote a way of life and be an example in the pursuit of peace, mutual understanding, goodwill, tolerance and helpfulness towards others.

“We do not wish to publicise our Good Samaritan work,” Lee said, “but we have assisted the elderly in Narraville and Kuiseb and the Cancer Assosciation amongst others.”

Lee continued to explain that the MOTH Sentrum is built on three founding ideals symbolised by three boxes marked SM, TC and MH.

“SM stands for the upholding of Sound Memory, to express things for those whom we serve, TC stands for True Comradeship in order to find our true neighbour and MH stands for Mutual Help which refers to the joy of giving,” Lee said.

The 50 Year History Book compiled by MOTH Sentrums all over the world concludes with the words, “If all the countries in the world today could or would adopt and try to live up to these Ideals, war, strife and hatred would become a nasty nightmare of the past and human beings all over the world would be able to live in peace and prosperity.”

Walvis Bay Private High School Introduces Their Medical Committee

Lavrenty Repin

How did most traditions begin? Halloween, Valentines Day or April Fools? Well, the majority were born out of sinister, often tragic, situations and became folklore over time to entertain the ever apathetic human mind.

So it is a breath of fresh air when a new tradition with a humble beginning and a good cause behind it sweeps over the world and one begins to wonder whether it too will join the realm of folklore, lasting for centuries.

Movember Month is first and foremost fun. It’s an excuse for men to let go of social standards and prerequisite restrictions.

I’m speaking for many men when I say that shaving is often an obligatory burden, a precondition in a strictly orderly business world where well pressed suits, straighten ties and clean shaved mugs are expected and even demanded, so how great is it that for a month you can be relieved of conformist clichés, and not only will you be accepted, you will be trendy and might even be applauded for your support to men’s health awareness,

all the while you relish in your guilty-free pleasure.

It’s a win-win, and that is why Movember month has taken off like a wildfire stirring politicians, celebrities and business gurus from all over the world to participate, and Namibia hasn’t been spared of the hype either.

Like all great traditions, the Movember month idea was born in a pub in Australia 10 years ago, and the Movember Foundation has since raised 147 million dollars worldwide for men’s health awareness.

An outline on the official www.movember.com website (which you can join to help raise funds) plainly states that “during November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of millions of moustaches around the world. With their “Mo’s” men raise vital funds and awareness for prostate and testicular cancer and mental health.

As an independent global charity, Movember’s vision is to have an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health”.

A big part of men’s health, or lack thereof, is our reluctance to admit that we’re not feeling well, chiefly

Movember Month - A Great Excuse to be Macho!

due to pre-existing notions that men should “suck it up”. So paradoxically doing something as manly as

growing a moustache, or a beard, which ever you prefer, breaks down social barriers that prevent men from diagnosing health conditions early enough.

Furthermore, as Garron Gsell, the Country Manager for Movember in South Africa, the only official Movember campaign in Africa, points out - “by growing a moustache for 30 days, men effectively become walking talking billboards for the health issues that they are faced with and there is still loads to be done in creating awareness and educating men about their health issues”.

He has also taken interest in Namibia’s enthusiasm for the Movember month, and hopes that by next year

Namibia can join the Movember movement officially. Ladies are asked to endure with their man for one

month, as his face takes on the characteristics of a thorn- bush and there is even an International Man of Movember, who is chosen to be the face of Movember for a whole year.

Closer to home, South African Afrikaans rapper, Jack Parow, is the Movember month ambassador for South Africa, and he, by the way, wears a pretty striking moustache all year round. The Movember month is a global movement that is rapidly transcending into a culture. So what are you waiting for?

Ditch that razor and join over 1.1 million people (officially) worldwide in raising awareness for men’s health.

Rhino Hunting License, Not the Answer we've got MAIL

The Editor

I have read Rob Moffets opinion piece (Namibian 01/11/2013) on turning rhinos into a commodity with interest. I have also seen some other press coverage of this issue. All I can say is that this is a morally reprehensible act on the part of the Namibian government and that any serious conservationist who supports this hunt, and by implication auction of a wild animal to some bloated American fat cat in Texas, should reconsider their ethical and moral standards. The black rhino is being pushed to the brink of extinction in their last remaining pockets of existence and has been wiped out from many of its historic rangelands across Africa.

Namibia deservedly has gained an enviable reputation for innovative rhino conservation, but how often do we hear of the rhinos in what was the Caprivi Strip? This is, or rather was, a sub group of rhino that has been wiped out in Namibia, something that is seldom mentioned.

This permit that is to be auctioned off raises many questions. Perhaps the answers are out there and have been published, but if they have I have not seen them. Do we, the Namibian public, or the Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET), or indeed the brave heroic saviour of Namibia’s rhinos who is going shoot a rhino to do it actually know which individual trophy animal is to be shot? Is the hunter just buying a permit to shoot a rhino or is he buying a specific animal? Does anyone know what the animal looks like?

The justification for this hunt is that a male animal past his prime and no longer of value to the gene pool will be selected and shot. Great!

This implies that the highly professional and competent MET officials are, at this minute, out there studying the animals and know exactly each and every animals

behaviour and contribution to the good of rhinos in Namibia, I am impressed if this is so. Also, by some quirk of fate, the selected individual will be of trophy quality and worthy of being hunted by a wealthy patron of conservation.

If by some bitter twist the animal is not a magnificent trophy worthy of the Safari Club International member I am sure that the wealthy wally will also be more than happy to shoot some obviously decrepit animal on its last legs with a splintered nub of a horn worn down by many years of fighting off younger animals trying to usurp his position. Maybe there is a photo of the trophy animal to be hunted at the auction? It may even have a mark banded on to make it identifiable to the hunters and hopefully the MET officials tasked to see that the correct rhino is shot.

In recent history rhino populations have been wiped out in many African countries by poachers. Namibia still has a healthy rhino population, which apparently, is increasing. We also have the largest, if not only, wild free ranging rhino population. To widen the safety net animals have also been put onto private farms as part of the rhino custodianship programme and some have been sold as live animals to farmers. None of these animals were, however, to be shot.

Namibia is in the enviable position of a relatively low human density and all our rhino populations are very far from our borders with poor neighbouring countries making cross border poaching forays impossible. Except for those unfortunate animals that used to occur in what is now Zambezi and were within easy reach of cross border poachers from Zambia and Angola.

This geographic phenomenon is an important reason for why we still have rhinos in Namibia. Who is shooting the rhino’s in the Kruger Park in South Africa? Who shot the rhino’s in Zimbabwe’s

Zambezi Valley? Are the armed gangs that plunder Kenya’s wildlife Kenyan?

The sustainable use of natural resources for both consumptive and non-consumptive purposes is an important conservation tool. Game populations in confined areas need to be managed. Gaining community support for conservation through benefits to the communities from wildlife is an important conservation initiative. Conflict animals such as large carnivores or even elephants may need to be shot to keep the community on the side of conservation. These are all understandable and defensible conservation actions.

Dare I say it, but even trophy hunting of abundant species can be accommodated here or maybe as part of management intervention trophy hunters could shoot trophy wildlife earmarked to be culled. Proceeds from these hunts must then go back to conservation or the community on whose land the hunt took place. A species that is extinct in most of its former range and is under threat where it still occurs should not be sold off to a wealthy hunter as a trophy for his wall. Experience has shown that when a lion has caused problems and the problem animal has been allocated to a professional hunter, inexplicably, the wrong animal has been

shot and it is usually a prime animal. There will be pressure by the hunter

demanding a decent trophy which may, in all likelihood, result in a younger prime animal being shot. The hunter will be happy, the outfitter will be happy, MET will be happy, the tourism sector will be happy, the community will be happy and I suppose through all this we will have advanced the conservation goals for rhino conservation in Namibia.

Rob mentions the term “business model” in the context of conservation success. While I agree to a certain extent on gleaning economic returns from wildlife, there is also a moral and ethical responsibility to conserve wildlife even without making any money while doing it.

If conservation only happened for species that could pay their way, then our wild animal populations would be in a sorry state. In Namibia rhino conservation is the responsibility of the state. It is the state’s moral duty to protect them for future generations.

Rhino’s should not need to die to pay for their continued survival. We owe it to them.

SincerelyJohn Paterson

mOSHIWAMBOMOTORING

Shiny wheels and massive air vents distinguish the mighty S 65 AMG from lesser S-Class models. The "V12 BITURBO" badge is a bit of a giveaway, too.

A twin-turbocharged, 6.0-litre V12 developing 630bhp is at the heart of the new Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG, which goes on sale in the UK next year after making its global debut this month at the Los Angeles and Tokyo motor shows.

Mercedes claims modestly that the S 65 AMG sets new standards as the most powerful vehicle in its segment of the market. Although the mighty engine is its defining character, like other versions of the new S-Class, the S 65 AMG features a raft of technology such as sports suspension based on Mercedes' Magic Body Control system in which the Road Surface Scan functions detects undulations that might upset the car and MBC adjusts the suspension in advance to suit.

The latest S 65 AMG is the only high-performance 12-cylinder car from a German premium manufacturer and it is the third generation of range-topping rapid saloons. The first generation (model designation V 220) was launched in 2003, with V 221 in production from 2006 until earlier this year.

Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG, said: "Supreme exclusivity and incomparable dynamism provide the guarantee of a high fascination potential. With the third generation of the S 65 AMG, we offer our loyal and discerning V12 customers a unique high-performance automobile."

The 5,980cc engine develops 630bhp at 4,800-5,400rpm and 738lb ft (1,000 Newton metres) of torque at 2,300-4,300rpm. Its claimed economy is 23.7mpg Combined, with CO2 emissions of 279g/km. It meets EU 6 exhaust emissions requirements due in 2015.

Acceleration from 0-62mph is accomplished in 4.3sec and the top speed is electronically limited to 155mph.

The 12-cylinder engine is assembled by hand at AMG's engine production facility in compliance with the most rigorous quality standards; according to the philosophy "one man, one engine."

Like the similarly powered SL, the S 65

has a seven-speed 7G-Tronic automatic transmission with three modes: Controlled Efficiency (C), Sport (S) and Manual (M).

The S 65 AMG is equipped as standard with Dynamic Cornering Assist, which brakes the inside rear wheel to ensure greater agility and negate understeer when cornering at high speed.

The electromechanical AMG speed-sensitive sports steering offers a variable steering ratio. In "Comfort" suspension mode it provides greater assistance, while "Sport" mode gives a stiffer feel.

Forged light-alloy wheels reduce weight while increasing strength. The standard, high-gloss polished 20in wheels wear 255/40 tyres at the front and 285/35 rubber at the back. Three other designs of forged wheel are also available. Ceramic composite brakes are optional.

Aerodynamic and cosmetic tweaks include a front splitter with a chrome lip and a high-gloss black rear diffuser insert, which is flanked by a pair of chromed exhaust outlets at each side. The chrome additions are a delete option for those who value a touch more discretion.

Inside, the defining features are sports seats finished in nappa leather featuring a diamond-pattern design. There are two individual seats in the rear, with AMG logos dotted throughout.

The two-spoke sports steering wheel is also covered with nappa leather, with perforated leather in the grip area. Aluminium shift paddles allow manual gear selection.

Two innovations make their debut in the S 65 AMG: the head-up display and the touchpad. The head-up display projects important information such as vehicle speed, speed limits, navigation information, traffic signs and information from Distronic Plus on to the windscreen. The new touchpad controller is said to be significantly easier to operate.

UK pricing and specification are still to be confirmed, although the car will go on sale in 2014.

It has a simultaneous world premiere at the Los Angeles International Auto Show and at the Tokyo motor show, both of which run from 20 November to 1 December.

THIS WEEK IN YOUR STARS

ARIESDon't get stuck doing just one thing today. The more varied your activity, the easier it will be for you to integrate the different pieces of the puzzle. This is a day to think big. The more you know, the greater an asset you'll be when it comes time to solve the biggest problems. Learn how to multitask effectively.

TAURUSYou might be in a whirlwind today, and there will be information buzzing around asking you to do this and go there. You're the one most perfectly suited to deal with the tone of the day. Stay lively and upbeat. Don't get stuck on any one thing. Keep the energy moving. The answer will be right there waiting for you.

GEMINIYou might be jumping around today. This is one of those situations in which you don't want to stay in one place for too long. Each place is an individual step that leads to where you want to go. Keep your eyes focused ahead and keep on going. Stagnating will leave you lost in the middle of nowhere.

CANCERYour audience will be attentive to you today. Take the lead and others will follow. Be yourself and project your voice into the auditorium of eager listeners. Information will flow freely, and you shouldn't discount any ideas from the peanut gallery. Be open to questions and comments from others. Their participation is vital to your performance.

LEOYou could feel confident today, and you should have a strong idea of exactly what it is you want. Information is power. Others are working to wield power over you. Don't let them get away with it, especially today. Encourage synergistic behavior among all parties. You can accomplish a great deal by working together instead of against one another.

VIRGOYour mind will expand today. You'll feel like there's a ton of information crammed into your head that needs processing. Regarding big projects, try to finish them as quickly as you can. The best policy is to pace yourself. If you wait until the last minute to finish, the quality of your work will suffer. Make a plan and maybe even a timeline. Set small deadlines as you go along.

LIBRATry not to read too much into other people's words today. You may have spent hours tearing apart every off-the-cuff remark. You may build up a wild scenario in your head regarding what that person is thinking. Instead of trying to sneak up on the answer through the back door, try the direct approach. Simply ask your question.

SCORPIOLong-term trends are coming to an important climax now. This dramatic period is highlighted by the added amount of information being thrown your way. Try to make small adjustments to your direction that incorporate this new information. Be aware of the prevailing winds and your relationships will be much better off.

SAGITTARIUSTake a break from what you're doing. Look at what people are doing around you. Check your plans in relation to those of others and see if there's a way you can combine forces and kill more birds with fewer stones. Cooperation instead of competition is the lesson that needs to be emphasized today. The better you learn this today, the better off you'll be tomorrow.

CAPRICORNGet involved with the energy of today so you don't get left out of the loop. Your contribution to the group is important. You should foster positive relationships among all parties. Think big. You can do no wrong by expanding your mind out into the minds of others. Make a commitment to quench your thirst for knowledge and freedom through information.

AQUARIUSYou can add more tools to your toolbox today. Express your concerns and you'll find helpful remedies present themselves. Keep the lines of communication open and let the information flow. There's a great expansiveness that comes when you think for yourself - and think big. Don't get bogged down with the emotional side of things. Concern yourself with the facts.

PISCESJoin others before you make your big travel plans. The smallest idea can be quickly transformed into a huge plan of attack, thanks to the prevailing winds of the day. There's a light, communicative feeling in the air encouraging cooperation. If you find that people aren't chiming into the group effort, you may want to excuse them from the group.

TAURUSCareer possibilities look very promising this week with a dazzling lineup that could make you more money, too. This might be a good time to consider looking for a new job or go-ing for interviews. Either way, the news could be uplifting, especially as you seem to be on a roll. Finances look very rosy, with more than one opportunity to make extra cash.

GEMINIThe desire to explore new options and get away from it all could be stronger than ever. If you haven't yet taken your vacation, this might be a good time to get away for a well-deserved break. The cosmos is encouraging you to leave daily routines and explore new places and perhaps new faces. Current influences may be excellent for business trips since this week's upbeat aspects seem to hold the potential for success. CANCERThere's definitely a buzz in the air, with financial sparkles promising some positive new contracts and potential busi-ness deals.

There is a chance of some excellent news - again, career related - which should put you in a good mood. Don't second-guess a romantic offer of a date. LEORelationships seem to be fast paced and exciting whether linked to business or romance. The connections you make are encouraging you to explore a new direction. Someone may give you a tip that could expand your horizons, open new vistas, and suggest fresh possibilities. There is also a connection to your social life and networking that adds to the fun and upbeat energy of the week.VIRGOIt's an excellent week to make progress at work and on career goals. You may feel as though you're in the zone as one good piece of news after another brings positive change. Expect the unexpected since the best deal may come out of the blue. You could be living on your nerves and perhaps burning the candle at both ends. There's so much to do that you'll be busy all hours.

LIBRARelationships, friendships, and romance could all be hot topics this week, in a positive way. Expect a meeting out of the blue that could lead to a creative partnership or budding romance. You'll notice a definite chemistry involved that inspires you to take things further whether for business or pleasure. One of these connections may also encourage you to broaden your horizons and see life from a new perspective. SCORPIOFamily life is boisterous and energetic. You might be do-ing a lot of entertaining or have family and friends come to stay. It's also possible that you've started spring cleaning early and decided to tackle the décor, too. There seem to be lucky events or news associated with the home. It's possible you might get money out of the blue, perhaps from a family member.

SAGITTARIUSAll kinds of associations and relationships work for you this week. The people you meet or talk to may share information that's vital in helping you secure a job, contract, or move one step nearer a goal. There's also the possibility of a romance that happens out of the blue. There's a lot of chemistry in the air bringing folks together buzzing with excitement. CAPRICORNFinances are looking perky, with a chance to get more earn-ings. You might be in the mood to buy extra gadgets for the home, perhaps a new computer or something else that helps make life easier. The more the merrier as far as you're con-cerned. You could be given a raise or find that you've been given additional responsibility at work for which you'll get more money.

AQUARIUSThings may seem surreal today, Aquarius, so don't take other people's chatter too seriously. This is a day to reach out and touch someone, so pick up the phone. It's a good day to share your dreams, no matter how farfetched they sound. Others may look at you as if you have three heads, but as long as you're being honest with yourself, there's no reason to be shy about sharing.PISCESYou might be in a more reflective mood, especially as there's a focus on your spiritual zone. Your inner life is important, and that includes your self-talk, hopes, dreams, and fanta-sies. If you want exciting and positive things to happen for you, then start creating them in your head. You might get ideas about how to make more money or make your home homier. Go for it!

In their honeymoon suite on their wedding night. As they undressed for bed, the husband, who was a big burly man, tossed his pants to his bride and said, “here put these on.” She said “I can’t wear your pants.” “That’s right!!” said the husband, “and don’t you forget it. I’m the man who wears the pants in this family!” With that she flipped him her panties and said, “Try these on.” He tried them on and found he could only get them on as far as his kneecaps. He said, “Hell, I can’t get into your panties!” She said, “That’s right, and that’s the way it’s going to be until you change your attitude.”

Humankind’s propensity for imposing anthropomorphic characteristics on inanimate objects has now reached computers. But, which gender should your PC be?

Here are the top ten reasons why

they have to be male.

They have a lot of data, but • they’re still clueless.A better model is just around • the corner.They look nice and shiny until • you get them home.It’s always essential to have a • backup.They’ll do whatever you want if • you push the right buttons.The best part of having one is • the games you can play.In order to get their attention, • you have to turn them on.The lights are on but nobody’s • home.Big power surges knock them • out at night.Size does matter. •

But then again, here are the top ten reasons why they are obviously female.

They’re oh so picky, picky, • picky.They hear what you say, but • not what you mean.Beauty is only shell deep.•

When you ask them what’s•

wrong, they always say ‘nothing’.

They can produce incorrect • results with alarming speed.They are always turning • simple statements into big productions.Small talk is important.• You do the same thing for • years, and suddenly it’s wrong.They make you take the • garbage out.Miss a period and they go wild.•

The Castle Lager Outgoing Tour South Africa vs. Wales 24-16

The Millennium Stadium was packed with 74 000 souls that saw some magnificent rugby - especially toward the end of the first half. The pace was unrelenting and Wales were very willing participants in this showdown between the Number Two side in the world and the Six Nations Champions.

The playing surface left much to be desired because Referee Alain Roland made some comical decisions concerning the scrums when he sent off substitution Coenie de Villiers and his Wales counterpart after only his first scrum but that was only an unlucky culmination of events for both.

The pitch was not up to standard at all and although there was some tactical collapsing from both sides the playing surface was not at all suited for set pieces. The Springboks scored after nine minutes when Habana wormed his way through forward defenders from inside his own half and, when tackled, fed to Bismarck who bumped off the defence and then fed to Captain de Villiers

who showed his great hands when he took the ball behind his back and crashed over with two Welshmen on his back. It was a stunning try and as a result of it three Welshmen had to leave the field with different injuries.

The Welsh had been talking big about taking on R.S.A. upfront. That said it was done to their own detriment. They now had to man up, which cost them dear because not even the All Blacks talk disrespectful like that about the Springboks beforehand. This game showed how, with relative ease, the Springboks can just overpower a sometimes bewildered team. They just nullified all the hard work with their tactical kicking.

Vermeulen and Alberts made big impacts on offense and you could sense that the Welsh were hurting. The sturdy Bismarck du Plessis went over the line after a lineout and some powerful play by the forwards. This was also converted by Steyn, who soon thereafter had to leave the field because of back-spasms. Lambie took over at fly half and had a satisfactory, if moderate, game.

Halfpenny kept the scores close with penalties that were given by

the inconsistent Alain Roland. His idea of the “daylight” rule can be compared to the hysterical but it must be mentioned that he was totally unbiased and in the end I liked this guy because he wears his heart on his sleeve and sometimes that is worth more. Jean de Villiers’s childish attempts at sarcasm will cost the team if he continues to belittle refs. It is really irritating more than anything. His spurts of wise-cracks are not suitable for the captain of a calibre like the Springboks but would sit well on the playing ground between a few freckled faces, spurred on by ten-year- old girls.

With the World Cup around the corner I would suggest a serious change of attitude because you want to give your team every advantage possible. To anger a referee could change the way he blows his whistle for the rest of the game. A somewhat dubious try by Fourie du Preez sent the Welsh commentators crying but the Springboks would take it - how many times in the past have they been shorthanded by referees already, this it was no mistake of their own. So, three tries to nil over the defending Six Nations champions is not a bad start.

International ResultsEngland vs. Argentina 31-12

England will face the All Blacks next and with similar styles we can expect fireworks from England who really did not look bad against Argentina.

Scotland vs. Japan 42-17The Scots were too strong upfront and

will not have the same luxury on Sunday with the imminent return of Bakkies Botha and the hopeful start of Pieter-

Steph du Toit at lock. Something for the Scottish to dread indeed.Ireland vs. Samoa 40-9France vs. All Blacks 19-26

The AB’s were made to work for victory but you always had the feeling that they could step up the pace if need be.

The Barclays Premier League Results

Aston Villa vs. Cardiff 2-0Chelsea vs. West Brom 2-2. Chelsea

were very lucky to get a very debatable penalty in stoppage time that made sure Mourinho’s team was still unbeaten at home under his tutorship. (66 games)

Crystal Palace vs. Everton 0-0Liverpool vs. Fulham 4-0. Saurez in a

class of his own with a hat trick.

Southampton vs. Hull City 4-1. The Saints keep in touch with leaders Arsenal with stunning football.

Norwich vs. West Ham 3-1. The canaries move out of the relegation zone with a good win over Big Sam’s team.

Sunday 10 NovemberTottenham vs. Newcastle 0-1.

Tottenham were very unlucky not to at least get a draw because they bombarded the goal of Newcastle, but to no avail.

Sunderland vs. Manchester City

1-0. The third home win in a row and a stunning upset over a team with title aspirations.

Manchester United vs. Arsenal 1-0 . A stunning header from ex- Arsenal hero RVP and United are within touch again of leaders Arsenal. I told you-tear up ’em suicide notes!

Swansea vs. Stoke 3-3. Stoke playing to the bitter end to earn a hard-fought away point.

Manchester City vs. Tottenham at 13h30. Both sides will want to restore some sanity after unexpected losses.

Cardiff City vs. Manchester United at 16h00. It will be hard for The Blues to stop United now because we all know what they do to teams once they gain momentum and smell blood.

Game of the week predictionArsenal vs. Southampton 3-1. It will be

hard for The Saints to come to Highbury and score more than once and at the same time stop Arsenal from scoring once. Remember, there is N$200 up for grabs for the weekly 10th correct prediction. Go to our Facebook and then to “World of Sport.” Happy hunting!
