Mukwiilongo, is still in a criti-
cal condition in a private hospi-

he was attacked at his Elim resi-

The 92-year-old Mukwiilongo was
tortured and assaulted by six robbers
who demanded from him the keys to
his safe.

Deputy youth minister Agnes
Tjongarero has blasted young
people for not showing interest
in national issues.
Tjongarero said she was disap-
pointed in the youth, adding that she
did not see any active involvement
by the younger generation.
“There are so many youth bod-
ies in this country, yet there is no
input from their side. We want ac-
tive participation from them,” said
Tjongarero, who was speaking at
the launch of the national prepara-
tory committee for the upcoming
World Youth Festival at the Swapo
Party headquarters in Windhoek.
Tjongarero delivered the keynote
address on behalf of minister Jer-
ry Ekandjo, who had to accompany
President Hage Geingob to Zimba-
bwe.
She told the media that she had
the minister’s prepared speech but
she was not going to read it because
she wanted to address her disap-
pointment in the youth instead.

to move the public hearing to Oka-

This came after the council’s CEO,

At the 2016 financial year-end the
revenue account had a negative bal-
ance of N$44.6 million. These funds
were for infrastructure development
and were instead used for operation-
al issues, the committee found.
Mutilifa was adamant that a lack
of qualified staff was to blame for
the council’s poor financial manage-
ment. “There was no financial man-
agement in place,” she said.
Political interference

for qualified staff, but political inter-

“The police investigation contin-
ues and we are still looking for the
other three suspects,” Kunga said.
Mukwiilongo’s nephew, Epafras
Mukwiilongo, said his uncle de-
served state security by virtue of be-
ing a former governor. “These are
prominent people in the communi-
ties who need protection all the time.
Now this is what is happening since
the government abandoned them,”
Epafras said.
“I am running a council that has no
senior staff in place. The 2015/16 re-
port will be the same as 2013/14 be-
cause the same people are doing the
same thing.
“I should just admit that we were
not doing things right, we might just
implicate things further if I try to ex-
plain further.
“There were funds from Tipeeg
and from the Build Together project
missing and the senior financial of-
ficer just resigned.”
When Mutilifa was questioned
on the municipality’s bank accounts
and why they did not reflect certain
amounts, she said there were 15 bank
accounts at one stage, some of which
they still could not access.

“We are talking of 2012/13 and the

Mutilifa claimed that “certain peo-

said as long as these people knew
how to manipulate the system, no
financial control was possible.
She also revealed that the recom-
mendations by the line ministry
after a forensic audit had been done
were not being fully implemented.
For example, a recommendation that
some staff should be suspended was
defied by reinstating them.
At this point it was suggested that

gation at the municipality, but audi-
tor-general Junias Kandjeke pointed

with its government and the exiled
Swapo leadership.
Many of these children were first
taken to Jagdschloss (hunting cas-
tle) Bellin, which the GDR govern-
ment had expropriated from a noble
family.
There, in the rural backwaters of
the socialist state, the children were
housed and schooled. The castle,
built by Henry Brarens Sloman in
1910, has 50 rooms where the chil-
dren slept, played, prayed, and where
the foundations of their lives were
laid.
From Bellin many of the older
children were transferred to the for-
mer School of Friendship Strassfurt,
which is now the vocational train-
ing institute of Saxony-Anhalt, about
three hours from Bellin, where they
continued with their secondary
schooling.
Most of the children had been liv-
ing in the GDR since 1979. Some ar-
rived later in the 1980s.
As seismic political changes swept
across Europe, the notorious Berlin
Wall dividing East and West Germa-
ny fell in 1989, heralding in a new so-
cio-political era.
It was also the birth of the new
Namibia. With that came the end of
Namibia’s GDR kids’ stay in Germa-
ny. They were all repatriated to Na-
mibia, the country of their parents,
where many struggled to adapt to
the local way of life. This week’s trip
was aimed at retracing the history of
the so-called ‘GDR kids’ and what
it meant for them and the Germans
who were part of this project.

Tjongarero urged youth groups to

ing that they should dictate what

ment.

ic Youth, is scheduled for 14 to 22

“Now we are hearing that the report
is not being implemented and staff
members are running away when

advised the chairperson.
Kazongominja wanted to stop the

questions.

Khomas tops ammunition list
STAFF REPORTER
A total of 1 276 firearms, 99 509
rounds of ammunition and 81
explosive devices were surren-
dered under an amnesty de-
clared by the Ministry of Safe-
ty and Security.
The Namibian Police declared
a gun amnesty in August 2016
which ran for three months and
was subsequently extended to 18
February 2017.
The Khomas Region regis-
tered the highest number of ar-
maments returned, with a total
of 806 firearms, 55 712 rounds of
ammunition and 21 explosive de-
vices, followed by Otjozondjupa

A large quantity of ammunition
was also returned in the Oshikoto

//Karas (68), Erongo (62), Omu-

She said when she tried to advertise
vacancies for senior staff there was
interference time and again. The
mayor told her this year that the po-
sitions would have to be advertised
again “because she had touched the
applications”.
“There have even been life-threat-
ening letters that have been sent to
me to get rid of me. Yes, it is a risk.
And people can hate me, but I am
proud of the work that I have done,”
she said.
Asked whether she had raised her
concerns with the town council,
Mutilifa said she was told that she
had been appointed to implement
the decisions of the council.
Kazongominja said the committee
would decide on the way forward as
soon as possible.
Safety and security minister
Charles Namoloh said the fire-
arms would be subjected to bal-
listic tests. “The ministry is in
the process of establishing if any
of the firearms handed over has
been used in the commission of
crime through ballistic tests.”
Ndeitunga said the government
was concerned about the prolif-
eration of illegal weapons and
ammunition that had been found
by the police during operations
conducted nationwide.
He said the reason why there
were so many illegal guns in Na-
mibia was the Angolan and South
African conflict, during which
war materials had been acquired
by many citizens.
He said from 2013 to 2015 the
police had confiscated 560 illegal
firearms.
“This year there is a big num-
ber, but they may still be tied up
with investigations in court cas-
es,” he said.
“Illegal firearms in irresponsi-
ble hands are a great concern and
are used in violent crimes,” said
Ndeitunga. He said an earlier am-
nesty had been declared in 1992,
but despite that some people still
possessed unlicensed weapons.

OVAHERERO WANT RESETTLEMENT PUT ON HOLD
Land and genocide hand in hand
JANA-MARI SMITH
The Ovaherero Traditional
Authority says all
resettlement activities
should be suspended
until after the second
national land conference
in September.
T
he Ovaherero Traditional Au-
thority (OTA) say the only way
to restore faith in the govern-
ment’s resettlement efforts is to im-
mediately suspend all resettlement
activity until the issue is finalised
at the proposed land conference in
September.
In a press statement issued yes-
terday on behalf of the Ovaherero
Chiefs’ Council after a two-day
meeting, the OTA expressed con-
cern about the government’s per-
ceived ambivalence about the ques-
tion of ancestral land.
OTA spokesperson Bob Kandetu
said the government’s approach to
such a sensitive matter left much
to be desired. “We look forward to
raising these matters with the head
of state at his earliest convenience,”
he said.
He added that the authority’s po-

“as the only way to restore a meas-
ure of integrity of the process of re-
settlement”.

Namibia has retained its top rank-

the freest media in Africa.
But Namibia dropped seven places
to 24th out of 180 countries in the

The rankings were released this
week by Reporters Without Borders.
Ghana (26), Cape Verde (27), South

the other top-ranked African coun-

had noted with concern that the
willing-buyer, willing-seller model
had not performed well and that
the process had not been well man-
aged.
“Also, there is no evidence that
those who were settled on these

Namibia, there are those who have
lost land and deserve to be resettled
and those who yearn to be settled
on land as entitlement.”
He said the Ovaherero and Nama

continent and its government in par-
ticular has been credited for uphold-
ing press freedom.
The chairperson of the Namibia Edi-
tors’ Forum (NEF), Joseph Ailonga,
commended the country on main-
taining the highest ranking on the
continent, but was quick to point
that a lot still needed to be done to
guard against dropping in the overall
world ranking. “The latest rankings
show the value and the media envi-
ronment that we currently have in
our country,” he said. “The indica-
tion of us dropping in terms of world
ranking probably has to do with
other African countries going down.
An example is what is happening in
Cameroon.” Ailonga added that the

that their assets were forcibly tak-
en from them by Germany over 112
years ago and redistributed to Ger-
man settlers and soldiers.
The OTA also raised concern
about the “status and format” of
the planned land conference later
this year.
Kandetu said the authority
hoped the land conference would
be “above board” and “fairly man-
aged”, despite the strong views al-
ready expressed by the government.
over the last 12 months or so might
have led to the country falling seven
places in the world ranking.
He particularly singled out the im-
minent Broadcasting Code that will
be enacted under Namibia’s new
Communication Act as a drawback.
He also blasted last year’s cabinet
directive which sought preferential
treatment for two state media hous-
es when it comes to government in-
formation and advertising.
“Press freedom must continue. Obvi-
ously the government must be pro-
active in this regard. If they want to
be the freest in Africa they should
adhere to transparency and tune
down the tone on intimidation. Gov-
ernment must play its role to ensure
that Namibia remains the freest in
Africa,” he said.
Sins and apologies
Yesterday’s comments came in the
wake of this week’s confession of
guilt and a request for forgiveness
issued by the Evangelical Church of
Germany (EKD).
In subsequent interviews, church
officials described the apology as
long overdue.

DTA demands
Zambian
leader’s
release
STAFF REPORTER
DTA leader McHenry Venaani
has written to the chairper-
son of the SADC Troika, John
Magufuli, demanding that he
intervene in the recent arrest
of Zambian opposition leader
Hakainde Hichilema on trea-
son charges.
Hichilema was charged with
treason for allegedly obstructing
President Edgar Lungu’s motor-
cade on a road about two weeks
ago.
It was reported that Hichile-
ma’s convoy refused to give way
to the presidential motorcade
when it passed through the town
of Mongu, about 500km west of
Lusaka.
In Zambia, treason is punish-
able by a minimum jail term of 15
years and the maximum sentence
is the death penalty. No bail is
granted in such cases.
“The current wave of political-
ly motivated arrests of opposition
party leaders and members in
Zambia has culminated in the ar-
bitrary arrest and detention of the
leader of the official opposition in
Zambia, Hakainde Hichilema, for
what is at best a minor traffic vi-
olation that has creatively been
dubbed ‘treason’,” said Venaani.
“It is deplorable for those
in the region who fear political
competition and opposition to
use state machinery to victimise,
criminalise and oppress oppo-
sition parties, their leaders and
3
the wrong done them and the pain
they suffered as a consequence,” the
church said. In a lengthy document
adopted this week by the EKD, the
church said it was clear that the Ger-
man response to the Ovaherero and
Nama resistance was “clearly geno-
cidal”. The apology stated: “As the
Evangelical Church of Germany, and
successor organisation of the former
Prussian Evangelical High Church
Council, we expressly confess our
guilt today towards the entire Na-
mibian people and before God.”
The statement said the actions
were “a great sin and not to be justi-
fied at all”.
It further said the church was
“deeply aware that any acts of atone-
ment cannot undo the injustice
committed”.
The document concluded with a
list of proposed examples of the way
in which the church could cooper-
ate in the “process of healing mem-
ories in Namibia and Germany”, in-
cluding supporting efforts to gain
public recognition of the genocide
in Germany, and assisting with the
transfer of the remains of genocide
victims still in Germany.
The Chiefs’ Council said they had
resolved to “tirelessly take the cam-
paign for reparations to the doorstep
of Germany”.
They accused the country of not
having shown any respect for the
reparation campaign.
“Germany has proven that they
have no respect for human lives as
testified by the genocide against two
nations and the scorn they continue
to pour on our leaders,” they said.

“SADC and Africa at large does
not need reminding that it is ac-

previously and continue to fuel
political instability and conflict
throughout Africa.”
Venaani asked Magufuli, who
is the president of Tanzania, to
intervene and “put to an end the
politically motivated arrests and
detention in Zambia”.
“I also call on the SADC Troika
to ensure the immediate release
of the UPND president, Hakain-

During the application the state

According to Quickfall, the state

New plan for marine oil spills
STAFF REPORTER
Cabinet has approved the new
Draft National Marine Pollution
Contingency Plan that will replace
Namibia’s first National Oil Spill
Contingency Plan (NOSCP) which
has become inadequate to effec-
tively manage the fast evolving
risk profile driven by the growth
of the Walvis Bay port.
The NOCSP was approved by Cabi-
net nearly a decade ago and provid-
ed for a coordinated and integrated
national system for dealing with oil
MANAGEMENT: Cabinet has approved a new plan for marine oil spills. spills in Namibian waters and was
PHOTO: NWR characterised by willing and effec-
tive cooperation between govern-
ment and the industry.
The system is no longer sustainable.
“Unfortunately, the above economic
activities also mean that the risk of
a serious marine pollution, not only
from oil but also from hazardous and
noxious substances, is greater than
before. “This threatens our marine
resources and our coastline, which
- in its entirety - is classified as a
national park and is endowed with
many biological and socio-economic
resources,” the new draft plan states.
Namibia had to review its marine
pollution preparedness and response
system in order to make it more re-
sponsive to the prevailing risk sce-
narios and align it to international
best practices. The new national
plan adopts a sustainable funding
model while recognising the need to
develop and maintain a shared re-
sponsibility, and the commitment of
all stakeholders in order to provide
effective marine pollution preven-
tion, preparedness and response
services in Namibia, the region and
internationally. The 1995 hull failure
incident involving the cargo vessel
Irene, wherein 700 metric tons of
heavy fuel oil (HFO) was released
into Namibian waters, highlighted
the need for Namibia to develop and
sustain a coordinated and integrated
system for preparing and responding
to ship-sourced pollution incidents.

T
he Angolan health minister has
confirmed that malaria trans-
mission has increased in Ango-
la and added that the disease is also
transmitted to Namibia by Angolans
who visit Namibia on daily basis.
Dr Luis Gomes Sambo made this
announcement during the com-
memoration of World Malaria Day
at Omafo in Ohangwena on Tuesday.
The event also saw the Namibian
health minister, Dr Bernhard Hau-
fiku launching a health relationship
memorandum to combat common
diseases at Oihole in the Cunene
Province of Angola.
Sambo commended Namibia’s ef-
forts and successes in fighting ma-
laria and he vowed to work with
Namibia to make sure that Angola
also defeats the disease. However,
he said that malaria transmission in
Angola is increasing and due to the
free movement across the border.
“Like many countries in sub-Sa-
haran Africa, I commend the efforts
made by Namibia in combating ma-
laria. Angola is still in progress in
this regard and needs to learn from
Namibia. Since we are sharing our
borders and our culture, we are also
sharing diseases through our people
who are visiting Namibia,” Sambo
said. He they started strengthening
border control and improved inter-
vention mechanisms. He said he was
also delighted to see Dr Haufiku in
Angola with effort to strengthen the
health relationship between the two
countries.
“We have introduced disease con-
trol along the border that includes
vaccinations and testing those
who are going to, or coming from,
Namibia.” This year Haufiku an-
nounced a malaria outbreak in the
northern region after his ministry
reported more than 7 000 cases be-
tween January and February alone,
while 15 people have died from ma-
laria since the beginning of the year.
The ministry reported that most of
these cases are coming from Ango-
la and it is against this background
that the two ministries launched
the memorandum and commemo-
rated Malaria Day together to en-
able them fight the disease together.
“For us to defeat malaria Namibia
and Angola must speak one medical
language. It will not help if we are
fighting malaria here while Angola
is quiet. What is happening in Na-
mibia must be the same in Angola.
At the launch in Angola I told the
Angolan people that the malaria
fight can only be won if they go out
en masse and fight malaria in their
own communities,” Haufiku said.
He said that the memorandum
will not only concentrate on malar-
ia, but also on other diseases such
as tuberculosis (TB), HIV and Aids,
polio and other diseases. He also
said that they are broadening their
cooperation which was first estab-
lished by former health minister Dr
Richard Kamwi and former Ango-
lan health minister Dr José Vieira
Dias Van-Dúnem. “Our lawyers are
busy reviewing policies that govern
the existing memorandum of under-
standing which only focuses on bor-
der control.
We would like the relationship
to focus on equalising the health
system on both sides. This will in-
clude health workers’ exchanges
and treatment programmes to make
sure the two countries are on equal
footing,” he said.
Haufiku said that for the two na-
tions to successfully fight malaria
they must have a task team of com-
munity health workers deep in re-
mote areas where people need to
be educated on how to prevent ma-
laria and how to respond to malaria
symptoms.
came up with the figures after
conducting research at 63
community libraries, 17 special
libraries and at the national
library in Windhoek. The deputy
director added that NLAS
wanted to reach over 6 000
community members through
mobile library services and
eventually reached 5 746, falling
just short of their mark. He also
said that they initially targeted
training for 2 000 community
members in basic ICT training
and finally managed to conclude
the training for 1 492 community
members. “The target was
not met as only 26 libraries
funded by the Finnish Library
Association are conducting
basic ICT training and some
of the computers were not
working,” said Manga. Manga
says that only the national
library has internet services
for users. According to Manga
they targeted 152 800 users in
libraries and with the help of
Wi-Ri in 2016/17 they exceeded
that target to 184 000. “The
target exceeded as many users
are using Wi-Fi services -
even after hours - at the three
concern however, is the lack of
preservation of indigenous work
in Namibia that is not being
digitised for broader access.
“Broader consultation to get
participants from identified
regions has been a challenge,”
said Manga.
Due to a shortage of staff at
the national library and the
National Archives only 2 604
documents were digitised in
2016/17. While there have been
many challenges, there have also
been many successes and over
3 000 children have benefited
from the organised reading
programmes at schools and
community libraries. Access to
information in Namibia remains
problematic but has improved
with the greater penetration
of smartphones, allowing
instant internet access from any
location. Drives by for example,
MTC, have made smartphones
for accessible for all Namibians
providing far greater access to
information than ever before. In
the view of some, this may cause
long-term challenges to libraries
as they may become redundant
as physical institutions.

been declared unlawful and set
aside.
Judge Lee Bozalek on Wednesday
morning ruled in favour of the case
brought by Earthlife Africa Johan-
nesburg and the Southern African
Faith Communities’ Environment
Institute (Safcei) against govern-
ment.
In his ruling, he declared govern-
ment’s attempts to secure 9.6 GW of
nuclear energy were unlawful, in-
cluding the initial determination to
procure nuclear energy in 2013, the
cooperation agreements signed with
Russia, the US and South Korea, as
well as former energy minister Tina
Joemat-Pettersson’s decision to
hand over the procurement of nu-
clear energy to Eskom late last year.

Two years after Burundi’s presi-

country into turmoil, the regime
shows no signs of easing up on a
crackdown that has forced hun-
dreds of thousands to flee.

BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD: The ANC government will have to redo their
entire nuclear power deal. PHOTO: FORBES.COM
The court case was first launched
in October 2015, with Earthlife Af-
rica and Safcei challenging the gov-
ernment’s decision to buy 9.6 GW
of nuclear power without debating
it first in Parliament, thus flouting
democratic processes.
The two organisations said in a
joint statement issued on Tuesday
that if the court bid is successful, it
will put “serious roadblocks” in the
way of the government and Eskom’s
nuclear procurement process.
Fin24 earlier reported that the ap-
plicants argued in court papers that
the government cannot afford the
mooted R1trn nuclear price tag, and
that it acted in secret when it signed
an agreement with Russia as part of
the procurement plans for a nuclear
build programme.
ident Pierre Nkurunziza sought a
third term in April 2015. Aid groups
say as many as 2 000 people have
died.
Nkurunziza’s re-election move vi-
olated the two-term limit set by the
constitution and a 2006 peace deal
that ended a dozen years of civil war.

first term doesn’t count because he
The court declared that the min-
ister’s decision on or about 10 June
2015 to table the Russian IGA before
parliament in terms of the Constitu-
tion is unconstitutional and unlaw-
ful, and it is reviewed and set aside.
The judge also declared that the
minister’s decisions at about the
same time to table certain other
agreements before Parliament in
terms of the Constitution unlawful
and unconstitutional.
These include the agreement for
cooperation between SA and the US
regarding peaceful uses of nuclear
energy, and an agreement between
SA and the Republic of Korea re-
garding cooperation between the
two countries in the peaceful use of
nuclear energy.

CNND-FDD party has unleashed its
feared youth wing known as the Im-
bonerakure - “those who see from
afar” in the local Kirundi language -
who now reign with impunity across
much of the country.
“The Imbonerakure have become
the spearhead of the repression, they
have spread out across the country
identifying and harassing the oppo-
sition,” said Florent Geel of the In-
ternational Federation for Human
Rights (FIDH).
And the UN rights chief con-
demned the youth wing this month
for repeatedly calling for the rape
and murder of opposition support-
ers, saying it amounts to a “campaign
of terror”.

gue that the Department of Ener-
gy acted unlawfully when it decid-
ed in December 2016 to move the
procurement of nuclear energy to
Eskom, as former energy minister
Tina Joemat-Pettersson had not
followed any public participation or
consultative process before making
the decision.
Joemat-Pettersson in a respond-
ing affidavit said she was not aware
of any rule or court order that would
prevent her from handing over the
procurement process to Eskom.
Government’s lawyer Marius
Oosthuizen SC said in counter ar-
guments that the deal signed with
Russia is not tantamount to a com-
mercial agreement, but was only an
agreement to work together.
He pointed out that an inter-
national agreement between two
countries is not required to be de-
bated in Parliament, as it is not a
constitutional requirement.
Oosthuizen also argued that the
government is within its rights to
come up with policies such as nu-
clear energy as part of South Afri-
ca’s energy mix, and that it should
not be preceded by a debate in par-
liament.
He further questioned why “eve-
rybody” is “picking” on govern-
ment’s agreement with Russia when
similar agreements had been signed
with France and China.
The procurement of nuclear ener-
gy is the subject of fierce debate in
plans a summit meeting for May,
which many officials see as the last
chance to find a diplomatic solu-
tion to a crisis that has prompted
more than 400 000 people to flee
the country.
“The crisis is behind us, security is
assured, peace has returned to Bu-
rundi and everyone is going about
their business,” said the country’s
first vice president, Gaston Sindim-
wo.
But opposition leaders as well as
NGOs say this claim of “peace” re-
sults from brutal repression that has
left hundreds dead.
The Imbonerakure often set up
roadblocks to search vehicles head-
ing north into Rwanda or south into
Tanzania, arresting scores of “sus-
pects”, several witnesses told AFP.
“The entire population is terror-
ised because anyone can arrest you
in the street and you won’t be heard
from again,” a resident in Bujumbu-
ra, the capital, said on condition on

the country. A number of energy ex-
perts argue that it is superfluous, as
energy demand is lower than previ-
ously projected and nuclear energy
would be too expensive.
The government, on the other
hand, including power utility Es-
kom, maintains that South Africa
needs nuclear energy as a form of
base load power as coal-fired power
stations are being phased out.
Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba
repeated President Jacob Zuma’s
earlier statement that nuclear en-
ergy would only be procured at a
pace and scale the government can
afford.
The affordability issue however
was also raised by Fitch, which be-
came the second rating agency to
downgrade South Africa’s sovereign
credit rating.
In its statement issued on April 7,
explaining the decision to cut South
Africa’s rating to junk status, Fitch
said under new Minister of Energy
Nkhensani Kubayi the programme
is likely to move “relatively quick-
ly”.
It further noted that under the fi-
nance ministry of Nhlanhla Nene,
who was removed on 9 December
2015, National Treasury said Eskom
could not absorb the nuclear pro-
gramme with its approved guaran-
tees at the time. A nuclear build pro-
gramme would increase contingent
liabilities, Fitch said, which are al-
ready “sizeable”.
anonymity.
“The fear is so strong that some-
times a father won’t dare ask the se-
curity services for news of his miss-
ing son,” he said.
The government has rejected all of
the UN’s reports on the violence and
calls for inquiries, as well as a Secu-
rity Council resolution seeking the
deployment of 228 police officers.
The political opposition, and many
elements of civil society in general,
have fled Burundi.
A foreign diplomat in Bujumbu-
ra said the government also wor-
ries about rebel groups forming in
neighbouring countries, including
the Republican Forces of Burundi
(Forebu), which mainly consists of
deserting police and soldiers.
“Many Burundians now believe
that this is the only language under-
stood by President Pierre Nkurunzi-
za, who refuses to talk about peace,”
said Jeremie Minani, an opposition
leader.

locally. ing the paperwork before they could start.
The tenders were advertised in local
newspapers last year.

T
he Namibia Diamond Trading
Company, Namdeb, Debma-
rine and other players in the
mining sector set the bar high with
the introduction of the first coor-
dinated diamond hub at this year’s
mining expo.
Officially launching the Cham-
ber of Mines of Namibia’s mining
expo, mines and energy minister
Obeth Kandjoze said: “Although
the concept of a diamond hub is
not new to the diamond sector
across the globe, it is, indeed, a
new concept for Namibia.”
According to him, the hub would
create better opportunities for lo-
cal diamond players.
“The long-term benefits of a dia-
mond hub are that it will contrib-
ute towards drawing attention to
new investments from diamond
technology companies, global cut-
ting and polishing companies, and
drawing investment from dia-
mond buyers and services to sup-
port them.”
Applauding the brains behind
the hub, Kandjoze said: “What you
have collectively achieved with
the diamond hub is, indeed, in line
with the government’s vision for
the establishment of a downstream

diamond industry in a profession-
al, socially responsible, commer-
cially viable and sustainable man-
ner that satisfies the aspirations of
the government, the international
diamond industry and other im-
portant key stakeholders.”
He also commended efforts to-
wards local value addition. “The
government appreciates the fact
that downstream beneficiation in
Namibia can only be successful on
the back of a successful tripartite
partnership between the govern-
ment, NDTC and the cutting and
polishing industry.”
The head of new established
mining contractor BMI Namibia,
Emile Smit, described the expo as
the perfect platform to market his
company. “It is a good opportuni-
ty for us to market ourselves. In
terms of the marketing, it is a very
good event. We are very excited
about the local mining sector.”
Namibia Rare Earths president
Don Burton echoed Smit’s senti-
ments, saying: “It is a very well-or-
ganised expo. There have been big
improvements in its organisation.
It will also give us an opportunity
to meet with the various local ser-
vice providers for our envisaged
mining project.”
The mining expo ends tomor-
row.
Mutorwa was responding to a question
from Sabine Mufenda, who represented the
Kavango West Regional Farmers Union at
a community meeting conducted by Vice-
president Nickey Iyambo.
Mufenda said markets for livestock had
been non-existent and wanted to know
what the government was doing to address
the problem.
She recommended that the Agro-Market-
ing and Trade Agency at Rundu be given the
authority to enforce a cabinet directive that
required all public tenderers in the North-
ern Communal Area (NCA) to source meat
products from that area.
Mufenda further asked whether inter-
nal veterinary fences could be erected in
the NCA to prevent the spread of foot-and-
mouth disease.
Mutorwa said whether such fences were
erected between villages, constituencies or
regions in terms of the Animal Health Act,
that authority was given to the minister of
agriculture, which implied that it should be
a straightforward matter.
Such a development would, howev-
er, most likely lead to misunderstandings
among community members.
“There is nothing that prevents it by law
but it must be the responsibility of lead-
ers to thoroughly explain and educate the
masses what erecting a livestock fence en-
tails,” the minister said.

Thousand Namibian Dollars). The Loan Agreement is
attached hereto marked “GNC1”.
7. The Plaintiff was there and then represented by David
Nujoma, in his then capacity as Chief Executive Officer.
8. First Defendant was there and then represented by Second
Defendant in his capacity as Member of the First Defendant.
See the Resolution of the First Defendant attached hereto
and marked as Annexure “GNC2”.
9. The further terms of the Loan Agreement were inter alia as
follows:
9.1. The Total Loan amounts to N$500,000.00 (clause 1.1.
thereof of Annexure “GNC1”)
9.2. The loan plus interest and costs are repayable within
2 (two) months inclusive of a 1 (one) month grace

Second Defendant and returned to the Plaintiff.
11. Plaintiff pleads that it did not present same to the Defendants
and same was accordingly not initialed by the Second
Defendant, despite reference being made to same in the
Execution Clause.
12. Plaintiff therefore pleads that the said General Loan
Conditions applicable to the Plaintiff’s SDF Loans accordingly
do not form part of the terms of the Loan Agreement.
MAIN CLAIM
13. The First Defendant duly complied with the Conditions in
terms of Clause 2 read with Clause 3 of the Term Loan
Agreement, in that:
13.1. The Second Defendant duly signed and accepted the
Plaintiff’s Term Loan Finance Facility Agreement on
behalf of the First Defendant.
13.2. The Second, Third and Fourth Defendants signed
unlimited suretyship in favour of the Plaintiff for the
liabilities of the First Defendant; and
13.3. The Fourth Defendant ceded a life cover policy in the
name of the Fourth Defendant to the Plaintiff.
14. The Plaintiff tacitly and/or impliedly, and/or by conduct
waived the fulfilment of the suspensive condition as provided
for under Clause 3.5. of the Loan Agreement.
15. The Plaintiff pleads that the purpose for the joint account
referred to in Clause 3.5 of Annexure “GNC1” was for the
Plaintiff to have access to the funds that were to be paid into
the said account.
16. Such a Clause was therefore for the sole advantage of the
Plaintiff and Plaintiff therefore was entitled in law to waive same. 37. Despite demand, alternatively this Summons constituting
17. The aforesaid waiver was made tacitly, impliedly or by way of
conduct and Plaintiff therefore did not have to communicate
same to First Defendant and/or First Defendant did not have
to accept same.
18. Since 30th August 2011, when the Parties entered into the
Agreement to date of Summons, the Plaintiff has not asked
the First Defendant to open the joint account as provided for
in Clause 3.5. It is therefore evident that by implication the
Plaintiff waived the fulfillment of the said condition.
19. First Defendant never queried Plaintiff as to whether Plaintiff
waived compliance with Clause 3.5.
20. The alleged non-compliance with or waiver of Clause 3.5
of the Agreement did not suspend the operation of the
Agreement because it is the basis on which N$499,740.00
was paid to the First Defendant and accepted by the First
Defendant.
21. In the alternative to Paragraph 17 above, Plaintiff pleads that
Clause 3.5 of the Agreement is severable from the Agreement.
22. As such, the Agreement was duly concluded between
Plaintiff and First Defendant.
23. The Plaintiff duly complied with its contractual obligations
in that it disbursed a total amount of N$499,740.00 to the First
Defendant in respect of Loan Agreement. See Annexure
marked “GNC3” hereto attached.
24. First Defendant was hence to repay the loan over a period of
two months of which the first instalment was due on the last
day of the second month, following the date of the First draw
down. The said date expired on 31st December 2011.
25. First Defendant made a total payment of N$10,436.00 of
which the last payment was received on 7th April 2012. See
Annexure marked as “GNC3”.
26. FIRST DEFENDANT is indebted to the Plaintiff in the amount
of N$577,916.18 (FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SEVEN
THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN NAMIBIAN
DOLLARS AND EIGHTEEN CENTS) being in respect of
monies lent and advanced by the Plaintiff to First Defendant
on a Limited Bridging Finance Facility including compound
interest as agreed between the Parties at the rate of 9.75%
per annum as calculated on a daily basis and capitalized
monthly as from 30th August 2011 to date of payment, which
amount and interest having become due and payable. See
Annexure marked “GNC3” read with Annexure “GNC4”
hereto attached.

STATUS HEARING: 6th March 2017
ALTERNATIVE CLAIM
27. In the Alternative to the Main Claim Above and in the event of
this Honourable Court holding that there was no Agreement
between the Parties owing to the alleged non-fulfillment of
Clause 3.5 of the Agreement, Plaintiff pleads that the First
Defendant was enriched at the expense of the Plaintiff.
28. Plaintiff in error paid a total amount of N$499,740.00 to the
First Defendant. The said amount is computed as follows:
28.1. On 3rd October 2011 Plaintiff paid to the First
Defendant an amount of N$64,656.00;
28.2. On 4th October 2011 Plaintiff paid to the First
Defendant an amount of N$411,084.00; and
28.3. On 11th October 2011 Plaintiff paid to the First
Defendant an amount of N$24,000.00.
29. The said sum was neither due nor owing to the First
Defendant.
30. The First Defendant was enriched unjustly by N$499,740.00
at the expense of the Plaintiff.

Possibly one of Namibia’s
most loved brands,
Toyota continues to excel
and Indongo Toyota is
proud to be part of the
value of the brand name.
W
hat started out as a very small
Toyota dealership in Namibia
has grown into a formidable
dealership grouping in Namibia. In-
dongo Toyota, with its three dealer-
ships, in Windhoek, Walvis Bay and
Okahandja, is a leading automotive
retailer which has built its reputation
by focusing on customer service and
quality.
The dealership was founded by the
business stalwart Frans ‘Aupa’ Indon-
go and has secured a large chunk of
the Toyota business in Namibia using
their business strength which lies in
their knowledge of the local market.
Indongo Toyota currently has three
branches in Windhoek, Walvis Bay,
Okahandja and there is also ‘Hino’.
The new Ongwediva dealership will
be opening its doors towards the mid-
dle of 2017. Not only is the dealership
making strides in the motor vehicle in-
dustry in Namibia, they take their so-
cial awareness projects seriously. One
of these projects includes creating
road safety awareness on social media
platforms to encourage customers to
become safe road users.
Eugene Junias, sales executive at
Indongo Toyota sat down with Na-
mibian Sun to speak about what the
dealership offers, their road safety
initiative and he offered some tips to
road users on how to make the jour-
ney safer. According to Junias, at Toy-
ota they strive for technology that
prevents and minimises the damage
of an accident in any situation. “What

gers, which is the cause of 70% of ac-
cidents,” says Junias. He further says
that in addition, Toyota is utilising the
most advanced technology to work to
improve the three basic functions of
a vehicle: Drive, turn and stop. “Toy-
ota is striving to ensure the safety of
all vehicles by evolving the vehicle
movement control technology of ve-
hicle stability control (VSC) and vehi-
13
cle dynamic integrated management
(VDIM).” Despite selling vehicles
which provide comfort and safety, In-
dongo Toyota encourages and shares
five tips for surviving on the long road.
Safety first
To avoid common causes of break-
downs, make sure your basics are in
order. Book a service now to make
sure you arrive at your destination in
one piece and make sure your wheels,
water and oil are efficiency checked.
Plan your route
A road trip is all about the adventure
of the journey, not just the destination.
Enjoy the sights along the way. Be sure
to stop every two hours or so for a rest
and leg stretch.
Keep the kids happy
Pack activities to keep the kids en-
tertained during the trip and dur-
ing stops. Toys like skipping ropes
and balls are great for rest stops as it
gets them moving. Car games, like I-
spy and 20 Questions, will also keep
your kids giggling throughout the
trip. If your drive is especially long,
this might be a good time to invest in
tablets loaded with games and educa-
tional activities.
Pack smart
Have an emergency kit handy packed
with snacks, wet wipes and other use-
ful items. According to experts, the
unwritten rule to follow when packing
your boot is to concentrate the weight
as far forward as possible to reduce
pressure on your back wheels.
Stay charged
Have a USB charger handy to keep
your phone and GPS charged and
ready to go. It’s also very nifty for
keeping your children’s portable de-
vices charged. Other than that, Junias
says keep within the speed limit, stay
awake and sober and be courteous.

F1 to ditch ‘halo’
protection
device
NAMPA/REUTERS
Formula One is set to abandon plans
for a ‘halo’ head protection system in
favour of a transparent screen that
could be introduced for 2018.
The governing International Auto-
mobile Federation (FIA) announced
the development following a meeting of
the sport’s Strategy Group in Paris on
Tuesday ahead of this weekend’s Rus-
sian Grand Prix.
“A number of more integrated solu-
tions for additional frontal protection
have been studied, and the decision has
been taken to give priority to the trans-
parent shield family of systems,” it said
in a statement.
“The FIA aims to carry out track
tests of this system during this season
in preparation for implementation in
2018.”
The ‘halo’ cockpit protection device,
which is fixed at three points includ-
ing a central pillar in front of the driver
that supports a protective loop above
his head, was extensively tested last
season with a mixed response.
The FIA said in January the net safe-
ty benefit had been established but a
decision needed to be made about the
aesthetics and whether such a system
was right for Formula One.
Cockpit protection has become a pri-
ority since the deaths of drivers in other
series after being hit by wheels and fly-
ing debris.
The shield, a see-through screen in
front of the driver that does not cover
the cockpit, was tested in practice for
this year’s Chinese Grand Prix.
Decisions made at the Strategy Group
have to be approved by the FIA’s World
Motor Sport Council, which is usually

Tuesday’s meeting also agreed chang-
es to the 2018 regulations that will lead
to the disappearance of the current ‘T-
wing’ and ‘Shark Fina’ aerodynamic de-
vices that have also been criticised on

Measures will also be taken to ensure
that oil will not be used as fuel.
The Strategy Group, which is cur-
rently limited to top teams, will also be
opened to non-members.
The governing body said this would

ment of both the FIA and the commer-
cial rights holder to improve transpar-
ency in the sport.”

NETHERLANDS CONTINUES COACH SEARCH
Ten Cate turns down job

It appears that it will
take a bit longer before
the Netherlands’ national
team gets a new coach.

he search for a new Nether-
lands coach after the sacking
of Danny Blind appeared in
further disarray Wednesday as
Henk ten Cate revealed he had
turned the job down.
Ten Cate, the current trainer of
UAE’s Al Jazira, told the Dutch
daily De Telegraaf: “I was offered
the job on Monday. But in the end
I decided not to do it.
“If you accept such a responsi-
ble job - to me the most honoura-
ble in Dutch football - it is essen-
tial that the whole organisation is
behind it, or it will not be a suc-
cess,” he told the paper.
At the weekend, he revealed
that he had long talks Saturday
in an Abu Dhabi hotel with Hans
van Breukelen, the technical di-
rector of the Dutch football fed-
eration (KNVB).

anchester United manager
Jose Mourinho has an oppor-
tunity to score a seismic vic-
tory over his old foe Pep Guardiola
when his side visit misfiring Man-
chester City tonight.
Guardiola oversaw a one-sided
2-1 win when he and Mourinho re-
sumed hostilities in September -
each at the helm of a new club - and
was generally felt to have made a
bigger impact than the Portuguese
in the season’s early months.
But having been condemned to a
trophy-free first season at City by
Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final loss to
Arsenal, Guardiola will lose his hold
on a top-four place if United prevail
at the Etihad Stadium.
“It is going to be the game of the
season,” predicted United’s Spanish
midfielder Ander Herrera.
“We are one point behind them. If
we win we have the chance to finish
in the top four. If they win, it is going
to be very difficult.

NAMPA/AFP
The city of Manchester is painted red and blue today as
two English premier league clubs battle for a place in the
top four.
“Is it make-or-break? Probably.
Both teams are in a good moment so
if one of us wins the game we are not
going to lose a lot of games or make
mistakes after that. Us or them. It is
going to be key.”
Mourinho, Guardiola’s bete noire
during their time in Spain, has
played down Herrera’s remarks,
telling Sky Sports: “He says that be-
cause I always say that about the
next match.”
But the United manager will
know that victory would give Unit-
ed the edge over City in the quest for
Champions League qualification.
United have struggled for fluency
this season, drawing no fewer than
12 games, and spent four months
SPORT
grimly locked in sixth place in the
table.
As the days grow longer, howev-
er, the prospects of a successful end
to the season appear to be getting
brighter.
United have already won the
League Cup, face Celta Vigo in the
semi-finals of the Europa League
and showed in their stunning 2-0
ambush of league leaders Chelsea
that they are a match for anyone.
Avoid defeat on Thursday and
they will equal the club’s record for
the longest unbeaten run in a top-
flight season - a 24-game sequence
enjoyed in 2010-11 by a United team
who finished as champions.
Fatigue aside, the only other dark
cloud on United’s horizon is inju-
ries.
Marcos Rojo and top scorer Zlatan
Ibrahimovic have both been ruled
out for the rest of the season with
knee ligament damage, while Paul
Pogba was forced off during Sun-
day’s 2-0 win at Burnley.
Despite Mourinho’s entreaties for
them to play through the pain barri-
er, centre-backs Chris Smalling and
Phil Jones are both expected to miss
out again, along with Juan Mata.
Mata scored the winner when the
teams met in the League Cup fourth
round in October.
Ibrahimovic’s injury, meanwhile,
has opened the door for Marcus
Rashford, who netted the game’s
only goal when United last visited
the Etihad in March 2016.
Anthony Martial will hope to start
after scoring one goal and mak-
ing the other for Wayne Rooney at
Burnley.

ing the 2-1 loss to Arsenal at Wem-
bley due to a hamstring injury and a
dead leg respectively.
John Stones, Bacary Sagna and
Fernandinho are also injury doubts,
while it is not clear what role - if any
- Gabriel Jesus might be able to play
following his return from a broken
foot.
Securing a top-four finish is
Guardiola’s last chance of salvaging
something from his first season in
England and midfielder Yaya Toure
knows his side face a battle.
“It is going to be difficult. It is very
tight,” said the Ivorian.
“United are doing well, Arsenal
are going to have confidence and
Liverpool lost (against Crystal Pal-
ace), but it is not finished yet. This
league is going to be very tough.
“It is a very big game, an impor-
tant game. We have to do the job and

The category A codes are ath-

Simon Junior
makes his
debut
LIMBA MUPETAMI
Next week’s boxing bonanza organised
by Salute Boxing Academy at the Coun-
try Club in Windhoek promises to be an
entertaining affair as new talents come
to the fore to show off their punching
power.
Among the newcomers is Harry Simon
Junior, son of former super welterweight
champion Harry Simon. Simon Senior
coaches his son and says he is a force to be
reckoned with.
“The guy is just 18 years old but he is a
gifted boxer. I don’t know if he will break
my records but one does not know in box-
ing, so let’s wait and see what he can do. He
is also arrogant and that might help him in
his fighting career,” he said.
Simon Junior will meet the slightly more
experienced Sam Shaama in a four-round
fight that could make or break him as a
fighter.
The bonanza, which initially had only
nine fights, will now feature 11 fights of
which three are for national titles.
Nathanael ‘Natty’ Kakolo says he is
super-fit and ready for his fight against
Dominicus Weyulu. The two will contend
for the featherweight interim national title.
“I’m ready, come and see the fight and
see the best man win,” Kakolo said.
Tickets can be bought at Computicket.
General tickets cost N$100, VIP tickets
N$200 and a table for ten N$7000.
The full fight card is as follows:
Bantamweight four rounds: Japhet
Amukwa vs Frenkie Kativa
Super flyweight four rounds: Immanuel
