NEW PRE-SCHOOL PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER 1

Coastal Schools Filled to CapacitySiglinde de Villiers

Heavy bags, shouts of excitement and tears betraying emotions. Parents kiss their children goodbye as they make their way towards the school gates in a steady stream, entering the big ocean of education. The first day of school has begun, presenting victories as well as challenges.

Many first graders are unsure of what to expect from their first day at school.

“I am very nervous,” Yelena said. Others are excited while their parents shed one or two tears while pictures are taken.

Education is taken for granted by many, yet prized so highly by others that alternative arrangements had to be made for more than 700 Grade 1’s who are not able to attend school during normal hours. By means of what Monica Saridao-Gawises from the Directorate of Education in the Erongo Region calls the Platoon system, these learners will have to attend afternoon classes at the Tutaleni, Immanuel Ruiters, Kuisebmund and /Nara Primary Schools in Walvis Bay.

Similar arrangements have been made in Swakopmund, yet this is only a short-term solution. According to Saridao-Gawises, the Ministry of Education has already addressed the growing need.

“Another school is scheduled to be built in Tutaleni, which we expect to be completed in November this year,” Saridao-Gawises stated.

“In addition, a number of additional classrooms will be constructed at various schools. In the meantime, all the children from the coastal region have been accommodated, but the problem is the placement of children of the influx of parents from other regions, such as the north.”

Saridao-Gawises explained that they were able to accommodate 2014’s

ELECTRIFICATION OF 165 HOUSES IN UIS

Erongo RED reached another milestone on Friday, 20 December 2013 when it electrified 165 houses in Omkhaindare suburb in Uis. The electrification of these houses is part of the company’s new vision to provide electricity to all by 2020. This project was initially scheduled to be completed early next year. However, Erongo RED decided to fast track the project so that it can be completed before the festive season. Over 250 residents from Uis and surrounding villages were in attendance to observe this milestone.

In his welcoming remarks, the Regional Councillor of Daures Constituency, Cllr Ehrnst Katjiku said “today marks another important achievement for Daures Constituency in general but in particular Uis settlement where we are witnessing the official inauguration of electrification of 165 houses in Uis. This gesture was long overdue and the residents were in the dark for the past 23 years of independence and before, they were denied access to electricity for very long. Thanks to Erongo RED for having taken the lead in providing the most inevitable common denominator in the social economic livelihood of our people which is electricity,”

Uis is one of the smaller settlements that has benefited through the economies of scale and sharing of skilled human and technical resources. “Rural electrification needs to be intensified to ensure a greater number of participants to this most extraordinary commodity and the push from behind is needed to expedite accessibility to electricity as alluded in National Development Agenda , NDP that will lead us to achieve vision 2030” Katjiku added.

In his keynote address, the Governor of Erongo Region, Cleophas Mutjavikua, commended the residents and business community of Uis for their resilience after the only source of income in town, the tin mine, closed operations in 1991. He further encourages them to become innovative and start small businesses such as the production of “donkey carts”.

“Electricity is not only ingrained in modern life, it is also critical for its continued existence. Electricity has become part of our lives so much so that without a continuous power supply life will be unbearable. Without electricity there is no development. And if there is no development there are no job opportunities and when there are no job opportunities, life becomes unbearable,” said Mutjavikua.

He further said that “our government’s decision to develop the Kudu Gas Project shows that the government is determined to secure electricity supply and eliminate electricity shortages in Namibia. Therefore we should all supplement government efforts to turn Namibia into an energy exporter. Without reliable electricity supply industries such as fishing and mining will struggle, forcing thousands out of work and creating additional challenges to social economic development,” Mutjavikua added.

Erongo RED is committed to supplement the government’s efforts of building a robust, sustainable and prosperous Namibia by the year 2030. And we are fully aware of the importance of electricity to the economy of Namibia. For that reason the company has been busy these past months to upgrade its network capacity in various towns to meet the growing demand for electricity. Erongo RED’s renewed focus to connect the unconnected shows that the company’s commitment to distribute and supply electricity as mandated is being realised.

General Election Voters’ Registration BeginsDorcas Mhungu

The voters’ registration exercise began Wednesday, 15 January and will end on 2 March, giving Namibians the opportunity to register to vote during the General Elections that have been billed for November 2014.

According to the Electoral Commission of Namibia, a projected 1,153,758 people are eligible to vote in the forth-coming elections and of this total, the Erongo region has an estimated 98 229 voters. Walvis Bay, urban and rural combined, has the highest number of voters totalling 42 744, followed by Swakopmund with 29 380 and in third place Karibib with 8 037. Arandis with 6 493, Daures with 6 346, and Omaruru with 5 229 follow.

Walvis Bay Urban has ten fixed registration centres at Naraville Primary School

and Naraville Elcin Church, Kuisebmund Baptist Church, Methodist Church, Assembly of God Church in Kuisebmund, Pente Coastal Church and Tutaleni Primary School.

In Swakopmund people can register at Swakopmund Town Hall, Old Municipality Management room, Mahetago Hall, Meduletu Community Hall, DRC School Project and Community centres.

These registration centres are open from 8am to 7pm.

A total of 44 934 female voters are expected to cast their votes in Erongo Region compared to 53 295 male voters.

In order to register as a voter, a person must produce specific documentation to prove identity, age and Namibian citizenship. These are the new Namibian identity card, the old identity card or a passport. A person can also register using the

Citizenship Certificate and old Namibian identity card if the person was born outside Namibia.

Voters can also register by producing a Namibian Birth Certificate and new Drivers’ License or Namibian Birth Certificate and two registered witnesses.

Statistically, and like in most countries around the globe, the number of females is higher than that of males but Erongo region projection indicates that there are more male voters. It is against this backdrop that women aspire to use their numerical advantage to push for the attainment of 50/50 gender parity.

The ruling Swapo Party last year adopted the SADC Protocol on Gender Equality that advocates for the 50/50 gender equality in decision making positions, a stance that some academic critics in Namibia have described as a pipe dream.

“In the past parents used to camp two to three at a school to enrol their children. For the 2014 school year enrolment, we used school and community halls, whether parents have been camping or not, where we invited all parents to sit down and then handed out enrolment forms,” Saridao-Gawises laid out. She continued to say that there was no camping of parents for the 2014 school year enrolment. According to Saridao-Gawises, the announcement of Universal Primary

Education (UPE) for all primary schools has tremendously increased the numbers of children on the intake.

It is not only government schools that are filled to capacity. Henda Meyer, Prinicpal of the International School Walvis Bay, said that they budgeted for 345 students, but accommodate 350 students at present.

“This is the first year where we have more students than what we budgeted for. The number of school children increase with every year.”

as space in classrooms is tight.

“Our class limit is 22 students, but for the first grade we already have 25 learners,” she says.

With the turn of the century, Namibia becomes increasingly aware of the importance of education, but the question remains as to whether the country is able to cope with the great need of placing all its children in a school.

Tumble-Inn Pre-school Opens Doors in Kuiseb

Siglinde de Villiers

“It is time for Tumble-Inn Pre-school to spread our wings and fly,” says Lorraine du Toit, principal at Tumble-Inn. She and her team are finally able to open a preschool right in the heart of Kuisebmund. This was,

however, not accomplished without blood, sweat and tears.

An agency helped Lorraine to obtain property in Kuisebmund. Nevertheless, the buildings state was a far cry from a school environment.

“The past month we have been extremely busy,” she

continues excitedly, “working day and night so that we can open our doors on Thursday.”

This included laying carpets and transforming the interior to have a more appealing character.

“The walls were a hideous pumpkin colour,” Lorraine continues as her hands paint

the imaginary walls, “but we repainted them to a pebble grey and beautiful deep blue.”

What has inspired Lorraine to open a preschool in Kuiseb? “We had so many applications that we were not able to

accommodate all the children and so the idea of extending into Kuiseb was born,” she answers. Lorraine hopes that not only would this transfer a high education standard into the Kuiseb community, but also bring schooling closer to home for many of those who live there.

According to Lorraine, they furnished and equipped the schoolhouse in such a way that they are able to teach various age groups.

“We will give the same instruction at both schools, drawing on the rich knowledge and up-to-date techniques of the various programmes and workshops our school has been trained in,” says Lorraine.

Another great milestone for Lorraine is that the new preschool will be fully bilingual, with two qualified teachers and one assistant.

“One of my teachers can speak Oshiwambo, which will really help to breach the language barrier,” she says. Of much assistance will be Lorraine’s husband, Jack du Toit, with 50 years teaching experience behind his name.

“My husband received his Bachelors degree in Education at the University of Stellenbosch in the 1960s and also has qualification in technical drawing, woodwork and carpentry,” Lorraine explains.

“Known as a true teacher and seaman, he finally resigned after teaching for 21 years at the Walvis Bay Private High School, to help me set up and run the new preschool in Kuiseb,” she concludes.

Dune 7 Adventures Pleased with Accident Free SeasonSiglinde de Villiers

Amidst numerous accidents at the coast this holiday season, the owners of Dune 7 Adventures are pleased to welcome the new year with no misfortunes on their records. Yet, this milestone could not have been achieved without collaborated effort from several organisations.

Quadbiking is one of the more dangerous holiday pastimes at the coast and a cause for many broken bones.

According to Lorna Davis from Desert Explorers most accidents in the dunes involve people who go out on their own without knowing the dangers hidden in the dunes.

“Everything is fun until someone gets hurt,” says Louis Oberholzer, owner of Dune 7 Adventures.

“A Quadbike weighs about 130kg. No matter how strong or tough you are, if it rolls over you it will cause damage,” he continues.

Nevertheless, Louis says that their accident rates have always been very low.

“This is due to us having implemented several safety systems through the years, like our Go-Pro cameras.”

These cameras go out with every tour, showing Louis and Johan where their tour guides are going and what they are doing.

“The guides tend to go all out in the hope of receiving large tips,” Johan says, “but with the surveillance system we are able to maintain proper control and train them.”

“When an accident occurs, we are also able to see whether it is the client’s or the guide’s fault,” Louis mentions. The accidents are played back on a large flat screen TV in the Restaurant area, making people aware of the risks involved in quad biking.

“It also helps people to pay attention to the safety briefing and listen to the guides instructions,” says Louis.

“Many of the locals were very co-operative this year, and we want to thank them for that,” Johan adds, “but very big thanks go to NACOMA and the Ministry of Environment and Tourism (NET) for their great efforts this season.

“The system they had going was a perfect recipe, with strict but reasonable officers working round the clock.”

Usually, visitors to Dune 7 are greeted with litter strewn around every year. This year, NACOMA supplied staff members on a daily basis to clean up the area.

“We also repaired dilapidated fences and signs,” Rod Braby from Nacoma says. “Their cleaning efforts really boosted the tourism industry”

Joao Coimbra from Daredevil Adventures says NET was on a ball.

“Every day they were roaming out in the hot sun, and when you needed them they were just a phone call away,” he praises.

According to Joao, they also had a relatively free accident season.

“People want to play and take chances. For big groups, we thus employed extra guides and had no major problems.”

Joao says that NACOMA was the mastermind behind safety awareness in the holiday season.

“NACOMA helps the tour operators, law enforcement officials and municipalities to work together.”

According to Braby, every year they get all the environmentally responsible agencies together and update them on law enforcement, environmental issues and raising awareness.

“We prepare the institutions for the holiday season as best as we can and fill any gaps they have,” Braby explains.

With minor to no accidents reported by quad biking tour operators this year, hopefully it marks several more such seasons to come.

Ever since the announcement was made that a permit to trophy hunt an endangered species of Rhino in Namibia was put up for auction, it has received a lot of international attention and criticism.

Despite the controversy and outcry from people all over the world, the Dallas Safari Club held a silent auction last Saturday, and

the bid allegedly went to long time hunter and guide, Corey Knowlton. Knowlton, who has been in the hunting tourism industry for over a decade, coughed up US$350 000 (N$3.7 million) for the license to kill one of the most endangered animals on earth.

The general public has shown their disgust by posting hate mail and messages on Knowlton’s Facebook page, saying that

News

The Rhino HunterPublic Enemy Number One

he is the ultimate enemy of the Earth, and that he should use the money to do good and not evil.

“There's no honour in killing an endangered species in such a fashion. You can't even call that hunting- it's an execution. And how will this animal's death benefit you, besides an ego boost? Waste of life for your amusement. One should be ashamed for considering such a crime,” was just one of the angry posts on Knowlton’s wall.

As a response to all the attention the rhino hunting permit has been getting, Knowlton simply said, “Thank you all for your comments about conservation and the current situation regarding the Black Rhino. I am considering all sides and concerns involved in this unique situation.

Please don't rush to judgment with emotionally driven criticism towards individuals on either sides of this issue. I deeply care about all of the inhabitants of this

planet and I am looking forward to more educated discussion regarding the ongoing conservation effort for the Black Rhino.”

This comment, however, made the general public even angrier.

A government-approved annual quota, in place in Namibia since 2012, gives permission for the killing of five black rhinos per year, however by the time of going to print the paper was unsuccessful in reaching the right person within the Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET) to confirm this figure.

"Science shows that selective hunting helps rhino populations grow," the club said in a statement released after the US auction.

"Removing old, post-breeding bulls, which are territorial, aggressive and often kill younger, breeding bulls, cows and even calves, increases survival and productivity in a herd," they added.

Namibia wildlife authorities on Friday defended the auctioning of permits, saying the kill was aimed at conserving the endangered species. But despite the parties fighting back with conservational reasons, the club, Namibian authorities and Knowlton continue to receive hate mail.

According to Romeo Muyunda, MET spokesperson, the proceeds of the latest auction will go to a special fund used by the Namibian Ministry of Environment and Tourism, which provides anti-poaching, habitat

protection and research money. According to media reports,

Muyunda said the results of Namibia’s conservation programmes are self-evident and most of the world understands that the sustainable use of natural resources is the key to success.

In the case of Namibia’s annual rhino trophy hunting quota, only old males who cannot breed are hunted.

“The revenue derived from such hunts is reinvested into rhino management, including addressing challenges such as poaching, which is a real threat to rhino all over the world,” Muyunda said.

It was also reported that the country’s rhinos are protected through the Community Based Natural Resource Programme that gives communities ownership over the animals and the responsibility to protect them.

Muyunda said that in accordance with Namibia’s laws, the conservation

of such animals is sustainable and it is a requirement that the community must benefit from sustainably protecting the rhino.

“When the community benefits through such activities, poaching will be discouraged and limited. Namibia’s conservation methods are recognised and hailed internationally as one of the best, hence we are not afraid of the isolated views of individuals,” he added.

He further urged Namibians not be misled by those that are trying to jeopardise the progress that has been made in conserving black rhinos and other species.

“This activity is done with the best intentions to conserve our natural resources like black rhino.”

According to the Dallas Safari Club, Namibian wildlife officials will accompany the auction winner through Mangetti National Park where the hunt will occur, "to ensure the correct type of animal is taken."

NamPower signs Power Purchase Agreement with InnoSun Energy Holding

In its continued efforts to ensure security of supply, NamPower signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with InnoSun Energy Holding, a local Independent Power Producer (IPP), on 13 December 2013 in Windhoek. The new Omburu Solar PV Park to be constructed by InnoSun Energy Holding will provide 4.5 MW power to Namibia from the end of 2014. The plant will be constructed at Omburu, near Omaruru.

The signing of this agreement marks an important milestone in the development of the Namibian power sector. The Managing Director of NamPower, Paulinus Shilamba described the PPA as historic to NamPower as it is the first ever PPA that the utility is signing with a local Independent Power Producer. Shilamba said “the agreement is also important to Namibia as it forms part of the short-term initiatives under the Short Term Critical Supply programme of NamPower, aimed at ensuring security of power supply for the country”.

Such PPA’s are important given the fact that the country will continue to rely on various power supply options for the next four to five years, while NamPower continues to work on its own generation projects.

It is a well known fact that the SADC region is facing a shortage of power, a situation that will continue to prevail for the next three to four years. For Namibia, the power supply deficit and associated challenges will continue to prevail until the commissioning of a new base load power station by 2017/18.

As a result, NamPower will continue to appeal to its customers and the public at large to reduce their electricity usage to help manage the current power supply situation, while NamPower continues to pursue various power supply options.

With due consideration of the credibility and good standing of both InnoSun Energy Holding and NamPower in their respective areas of operation, NamPower is confident that the agreement will be beneficial to both companies and by extension our electricity customers.

InnoSun Energy Holding is a sister company of InnoVent from France. InnoVent, created in 2001, is involved in the development, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of wind and solar farms in France, South Africa and Namibia. The Chief Executive Officer of InnoVent/InnoSun, Gregoire Verhaeghe at the signing ceremony pointed out that the project will offer employment opportunities during the construction phase, source some components that will be needed for the plant and are locally available and make use of local companies for the construction, operation and maintenance of the plant. No capital expenditure or investment is required from NamPower as part of this agreement.

The CEO of Innovent/Innosun; Grégoire Verhaeghe , Jacqueline Bassa-Mazzoni, the French Ambassador to Namibia and NamPower’s MD Paulinus Shilamba sealed the deal.

Naukluft Mountains: There and Back Again

Lavrenty Repin

Being the kind of people that generally don’t follow schedule, we arrived late, unpacked and slightly hung over. One of us didn’t even arrive at all. We spent too much time packing, arguing who will carry what and complaining about the steep (not really) entrances fees to the park.

It wasn’t the harmonious exhilarating inspiring start that you’d see in films and documentaries, but then again very little of how they depict hiking and travelling is actually reality. We split up into two groups, the first, comprising of 2 ladies and a guy, went ahead, while Mwisho, my friend, and I waited for the last woman to arrive.

Unfortunately, by the time she arrived, we grew impatient and irritated and having established that she was completely unprepared and, as the rapidly setting sun reminded us of our fate if we didn’t get a move on, an argument ensued to which she promptly turned back. In retrospect, we should’ve probably been more helpful, but alas we finally marched forward, one man down.

The view as we began our trail was a rejuvenating surprise. Walking along a weaving spring-water stream that continued under great fig trees and over ancient rock structures, that once were rough and erratic but were now smooth and polished, over time slowly succumbing to the mercy of the elements.

On the right we passed a waterfall, and had we more time, we would have thrown ourselves against it, to escape momentarily from the abiding heat all around us. We walked quick, hoping to catch up with the rest of the group, and we walked silent, feeling sorrowful for leaving a man behind.

I always find the first three hours of a hike the most challenging; after a mere 30 minutes you begin to feel weary and detached, you catch yourself questioning your own fitness and wondering – “how can I possibly complete four days of this, I’m already so disheartened” – or a version of that sentence, with a higher PG rating.

After an hour and a half you’re literally

forcing yourself not to stop, because you know if you do, you won’t find your pace again. You have to constantly remind yourself what stopping will do to you, and if circumstances oblige you to stop, you have to pretend like you’re still moving, complacency is your worst enemy. After three hours of continuous walking, we caught up with the rest of the group, and coincidently discovered that we had lost the path and were now following the numerous animal tracks plotted all around the mountains.

The group was about 500 meters away, climbing up a barren mountain, while we remained near to the wonderfully lush spring, as any sane person would do. So, we climbed over an impressively built (for the terrain) fence, and began our ascend to meet the group. However two of them had turned around and were coming down to meet us, only Lennie, my mom, remained on top. They told us that they had enough and were turning back.

Again, in retrospect, I should’ve convinced them to soldier on, but we were too exhausted and caught up in our own personal battles to persuade them otherwise. So as I solemnly, and maybe inappropriately commented “and there were three”, we continued up the rocky dull mountain edge. The three of us walked in a silent army march, ignoring the magnificent scenery unravelling before our eyes, until it became dark, we found an opening, set up camp, had some canned meat for dinner and collapsed under the stars. It was a terrible start to a spectacular trip.

Trying to shake off the discouraging feeling of loosing three companions wasn’t easy, but the incredible view as the sun rose over the mountains overshadowed any disconcerts or guilty conscience.

Also, over night, some curious Kudu’s visited us, and for a couple of hours stood what seemed like 5 meters from our camp eerily making all sorts of noises that you would never expect from an antelope. This stimulated us to dream of Kudus for the rest of the night. We drank the last bits of our water and set off to find what was supposed to be our camping place.

We became a little anxious, having exhausted all of our water supply and in need to refill our bottles and our bodies. 2 hours on, we reached our provisioned campsite, equipped with a hut and a water pump – not as spectacular as the view we woke up to. I tell you, it took a good thirty minutes to get any water out of that wretched thing, and for as long as the pipes remained dry, our torment grew. If my retelling of the hike may sound surreal and methodical, it is probably because those are the qualities I felt most predominantly in the first few days.

We walked systematically, following each other in a line, speaking very rarely. Each was admiring the surroundings in his or her own way, fighting his or her own personal battles. Having started late, we were playing catch up, and would only take breaks every 2 and a half hours for 10 minutes at a time. This left little time to stop and admire our position, or contemplate great ideas.

Indeed all we did was walk. One foot in front of the other, keep your pace, don’t slow down, don’t stop. Repeat. This method paid off, and after a morning of hiking, we reached the natural springs ahead of time. The cathedral fountain as it’s named, is a panorama of a magnificent mountain wall bending over a corner, under which a stream timidly runs.

On either side of us, dawning cliffs shot up in the sky, on top of which, barking hysterically, baboons casually followed us as we celebrated the water pools by taking a dip. The baboons were barking, not us. Although I did reciprocate a couple barks myself. We dropped our bags, having established that this would be the best place to set camp. and ventured on with the path, to see what the allocated camping hut was like.

The next day we’d have to return this way, the path made provision for the gorgeous stream, by making us backtrack the following day. We descended down steep cliffs, decorated with rusty chains that you could chose to hold on to for support and walked along the river. When it became late we turned back, found our bags and set camp next to a

pond under the cathedral. For the second night in a row, we didn’t spent the night in a hut. I think between the three of us, the biggest argument was always food. Mwisho, who is East African and who did most of the cooking, because he’s East African – I mean have you tried East African food?

They’re like magicians in the kitchen. Anyway, he was very uncomfortable letting go of any supplies. Considering that between the three of us we had enough food for 6 people, it would be rational to leave some behind in one of the huts. However Mwisho found nothing rational about this plan, and said that if we won’t eat it, he will!

Needless to say, after 4 days of hiking, we actually ended up gaining weight! The times that we didn’t walk, we ate. Of all the trips I’ve ever done, I had never encountered such a strange, comical situation.

We set out late on day 3, being ahead on time and trail. We took a few dips in the pond, had porridge for breakfast and bid farewell to our little oasis. In retrospect we should’ve stayed longer, we had the time. There was much more positive energy this time around, but within an hour it was back to our army march. Lennie and I trailing behind Mwisho, talking all kinds of nonsense. Also, we were arguing between which nickname we should give to Mwisho that best described his unabated steady unyielding march, like a hybrid camel. We settled on zombie-robot.

Up and down hot lonely hills, following little white shoe-steps occasionally painted on rocks, marking our trail, we soldiered on. For lunch we stopped under a Camelthorn tree. 5 minutes into lunch, I noticed roughly 25 meters from us 2 Kudus, casually and obliviously walking past us. The pair of them must’ve been in the middle of a heated conversation, since they completely failed to notice us three. Unlike a Safari trip, where you comfortably sit in your Land Cruiser, sipping on beer and listing to the radio, watching the antelopes as if they’re actors on television, here I felt a connection; you felt like you are part of their habitat. If they can just carelessly walk past you, you suddenly realize that

you aren’t really superior here, you are at nature’s mercy, it becomes easier to understand your place in the universe.

Another time I was sitting on a ledge over a cliff, watching the most stunning view imaginable, and a meter to my right a dassie, you know those little fury critters who are actually great descendents of elephants, well he walked out on the ledge, took a uninterested glance at me, and then set there enjoying the spectacular view.

Compared to the surroundings, I was nothing but an ornament, and that sure does put you in your place! We saw Zebras or Kudus or Gemsbok about every hour of our hike. A herd of Zebras below us on the plain, were rolling joyfully in the dust, the little calf’s jumping around gleefully. Another time two klipspringers jumped from behind a rock 2 meters ahead of me, giving all three of us one hell of a fright. I actually fell back from shock.

We got to the hut at 1 o’clock. Which left us with absolutely nothing to do for the remainder of the day. We couldn’t keep walking because we didn’t know when we’d find water again, and we didn’t have enough containers to carry with us, so we just killed our time doing pathetic tasks.

For example, we found that Mwisho had arranged all of our food very neatly and well organised, almost alphabetically, over the floor of the hut. We were becoming concerned over his fascination with food. Lennie and Mwisho also had a senseless argument, of which I can’t remember neither the origin nor the content. It was very strange, on that hot afternoon in a crappy little hut in the middle of the driest part of the trip, after walking senselessly for 6 hours, to try and come up with anything sensible to occupy yourself with.

We left very early on the 4th day. The alternative route back to base camp was 25 kilometres long, and we had to traverse many hills. But as Lord of the Rings never focuses too much attention on the boring eternal walking that Frodo endured, neither will I. Instead, we were again too pessimistic of our capabilities, and reached the stream, the same one that began this journey, by

early afternoon. Which meant that we had ample time to dive in the surprisingly deep, but quite small pools jotted around the area. The baboons in the area, however were not quite as harmonious as the once previously encountered, indeed their actions were much more sinister than mere barking. They tried to steal our freaking bags!

And they weren’t offhand about it either, instead they used various tactics to disorientate and out smart us. One succeeded in stealing Mwisho’s sleeping bag, but let go of it after concluding that it wasn’t particularly edible. I went for

a walk, climbing on a peculiar cliff, the same one where I encountered the dassie, while searching for serenity. I returned to the news that Mwisho has left for camp (about a 2 hours hike away), like a mouse. A zombie-robot mouse.

He later told us that he was so sick of his shoes giving him problems that he wanted to get the trip over and done with. We all secretly knew that he just wanted beer. We didn’t follow in his footsteps, but instead found a hidden lake, 25 meters in length, the size of the Swakopmund swimming pool, and the water was as clear

as daylight. We spent the rest of the day and the following morning in our birthday suits gleefully splashing about, jumping off 5 meter ledges and giggling hysterically. It was a magical ending to a trip where everything

seemed to go wrong, where our expectations where either overrated or overwhelmed – this was neither, it was really the perfect moment. We hardly noticed the walk to the camp, and kept reminiscing of our secret

lake under a cliff, in the middle of a forest. Up to the point where Mwisho was visibility annoyed. Just to clarify, Mwisho and I continue to remain very close friends. That might change after this article though…

THIS WEEK IN YOUR STARS

ARIESThere's no question, this has been a long time coming. But today the change you have been hoping for so long is likely to occur, Aries. The enormity of the change may not be obvious, at least at first. But over time, you will look back on the events of today and see just how pivotal they were. Keep your wits about you today, and seize any intriguing opportunity that comes along.

TAURUSThis is a time to take care of yourself in the truest sense of the word, Taurus. This doesn't mean indulging in excesses, but rather just the opposite. Make an extra effort with your clothes and grooming today. Shout down those voices inside that say you don't look as good as you should. You look just fine, and after your care today you will look even better!

GEMINIIt's another potentially anxious day ahead, Gemini. But you have the power to soothe your ruffled feathers. Physical activity of any sort will calm you down considerably. Even a quick walk around the block will be of benefit. A calmer disposition in the afternoon makes it easier for you to handle favors and requests with your customary grace. If you need to, you can "disappear" for a few hours early in the afternoon and take in a movie.

CANCERHobbies and diversions are wonderful; no one will argue this with you, Cancer. But there comes a time when you use your hobbies as a way to avoid other responsibilities. Your intuitive levels are at an all-time high right now. Perhaps you can use them to your own benefit. Try blocking out your worries over the mundane, day-to-day issues so that you can determine why you're avoiding the tasks at hand.

LEOThere is no question about it, Leo, change is in the air! Perhaps you can't feel it because you have allowed yourself to become bogged down in disappointment. You can't help but wonder if you will ever attain your goals. Well, take heart. The times they are a'changing, as Bob Dylan says. You just need to wait a bit longer. In the end, it doesn't matter how long it took to get there, only that you arrived!

VIRGOAll living things benefit from your gifts, Virgo. Nurturing has always been part of your nature, and is especially so today. But sometimes you lavish more attention on others than you do on yourself, and this benefits no one. You will find that you'll have even more of yourself to give when you take the time to fill your own emotional well. Some time off from good works will ultimately be to everyone's benefit, yours especially.

LIBRAAt some point, popularity becomes a burden rather than a blessing. Your bulletin board is cluttered with invitations to lectures and parties, Libra, but your eyes begin to glaze over at the thought of attending all these events. Just how many chicken dinners is one expected to consume in a lifetime? It may be time for you to reassess your priorities. Rather than trying to say yes to everything in order to please everyone, why not start saying no in order to please yourself?

SCORPIOIt's another fortuitous day for finances, Scorpio, so be sure to take advantage of any opportunities that come your way. Though, in your usual analytical style, you will be careful first to do a thorough review of the plusses and minuses of the proposal. Much as you benefit from being at your desk today, don't forget to get outside to clear your mind. Be especially aware of any thoughts or ideas that come to you seemingly from out of the blue.

SAGITTARIUSYou are seeing a new side of yourself today, Sagittarius, and what a lovely side it is! Normally so conservative, today you find yourself considering purchasing clothes with stylish details and expensive fabrics. And why not? You only live once, after all. And romance is definitely in the air today, so any sexy or sensuous purchases you make are bound to find an audience.

CAPRICORNWe are all gullible to a certain extent. And you are no exception. You can expect to receive some financial offers today. They may come via the mail or an in-person sales pitch. Trust your instincts here. Some of what is being offered may really be too good to be true. However, on the home front, what is being offered is genuine through and through. There is passion in the air to go along with all this integrity!

AQUARIUSYou have heightened sensitivity right now, Aquarius, and you know just how to use it. While it can be difficult to be so needed by others, right now it is your place to give help where it's needed. You are uniquely suited to the task at hand, so why not give of yourself wholeheartedly? In the end, you will reap huge rewards for your altruistic efforts. In the meantime, you can feel great about all the good you're doing.

PISCESYour warmth and good nature draw people to you like a magnet today, Pisces. Of course, you're used to this occurring, but today these aspects of your character are especially enhanced. You will find that encounters with other people leave you feeling full and satisfied. After all, it is our loved ones who truly make life worth living. The time is ripe for romantic encounters.

THIS WEEK IN YOUR STARS

ARIESIt's an upbeat and positive time for you, with lots of socializing and fun on the agenda. Networking is one of the best things you can do right now, so keep it up. Fabulous aspects over this week suggest you'll be busy making new connections that could be very lucrative for you. You may also be in the mood to splurge, but you might be restrained by your credit limit.

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. Your intuitive hunches may play a big part in enabling you to be in the right place at the right time. 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.•

Lavrenty Repin

On 28 December 2013 the Dolphin Stadiumin Vineta was transformed into a sea of colour. Colour Goes to Coast saw over 7000 people; at points it took an hour of queuingto get to the gate.

With stalls for food, drinks and the colour packets as well as a VIP area, the party-goers had a beautifully organised saturday afternoon. early in the evening the crowd got a special surprise when skydivers jumped out over the stadium and sprayed colour everywhere on their way down.

Community lensNissan Sport Sedan Concept

Article by: http://www.cmhnissansandton.co.za/

Nissan IDX free flow and IDX NISMO concepts make its first appearance in North America. The Nissan sport sedan concept is looking forward to a future production.

nissan continues its rollout of show-stopping advanced concept vehicles with the world debut of the stunning sport sedan Concept at the 2014 north American International Auto show. The sport sedan Concept will be joined by the North America debuts of the Nissan IDx Freeflow and IDx nIsMO concepts, which were among the most popular vehicles at the recent Tokyo Motor show.

The sport sedan Concept previews a new energetic design direction that amplifies Nissan's legendary approach of applying sports car principles to a sedan. The IDx Freeflow and IDx NISMO's innovative, eye-catching designs offer two different approaches to a next-generation compact vehicle - one expressing a casual, lifestyle-focused vision and the other an ultra-sporty design that looks as if it came directly from a driving video game.

The trio of concepts will be revealed at a press conference on Monday, January 13, 2014 at 3:50 p.m. esT and displayed throughout the public days of the show, which runs at Detroit's Cobo Hall from January 18th through 26th.
