12/02/19--14:00: NFA development crisis
NFA development crisisNo team for Cosafa u-20 championship Namibia will not be competing at the Cosafa under-20 championship for the fourth time in a row. Namibia will miss out on this year's Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (Cosafa) under-20 championship because the country does not have a team to compete at the tournament.
The championship is taking place in Zambia from 4 to 14 December, with 12 Southern African teams competing for top honours.
Fifa normalisation committee chairperson Hilda Basson-Namundjebo confirmed yesterday there is no national u-20 team in place at the moment.
“I believe the biggest issue here is that we do not have development structures in place and we therefore can't have an under-20 team.
“The talent is there, but we need development structures first before we can assemble a team.
“As we speak, there is no development officer and that is why there is no team,” Basson-Namundjebo said.
Last year, Namibia failed to participate in the tournament after the football association struggled to get money for the competition.
The under-20 team needed around N$1.2 million to travel to different countries, which they failed to raise.
It is, however, a different scenario this time around, given that the association does not have a team to send to Zambia.
“Jakes Amaning was the association's development officer and we all know that he is no longer there.
“It will be the job of the incoming administration and the technical director to make sure that a development officer is appointed and that youth structures are in place.
“The important thing that we want here is the scouting of young players from all regions across the country,” Basson-Namundjebo said.
The Cosafa u-20 championship is a development tournament that over the years has produced top-quality players, who have gone on to forge successful careers as professional footballers and in their respective national teams.
Zambia are the most successful nation in the Cosafa under-20 championship, with 11 victories in all. Their last win was in 2016.
South Africa have traditionally been one of the powerhouses in the region in under-20 football and will be looking to defend the crown they won in Kitwe. They have won the competition eight times in all, with their first title coming in 2000.
They also hosted the tournament for 11 consecutive years between 1999 and 2009. This year's participants are Angola, Botswana, South Africa, Comoros Islands, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Seychelles and Zambia.

12/02/19--14:00: Fast times at FNB Sandman
Fast times at FNB Sandman Over 330 participants took part in the 2019 FNB Sandman triathlon on Sunday in Swakopmund.
This was a significant improvement in turnout compared to last year, when around 270 athletes participated.
The athletes took part in various categories, which included the ultra, standard, sprint and mini.
“The bulk of the people that took part this year just came to have a good day. They did it for fun. I think the competition was more on the social side. The majority of the people were social and just enjoyed doing it,” said event organiser Mark Brinkman.
The best swim time over a distance of 1.9km was recorded by Phillip Seidler (21:23). Conrad Marais had the fastest bike time over 90km (2:32:20), while Erich Goeieman ran a time of 1:16:11 over a distance of 21km.
In the ultra-category the results were as follows:

12/02/19--14:00: Waar vriende familie word
Waar vriende familie wordNóg ’n suksesvolle jaar vir Berg-Op Akademie ’n Privaatskool op Okahandja is trots op sy Christelike waardes waarmee onder meer sterk vriendskapsbande gesmee word. Mariselle Stofberg
Berg-Op Akademie is meer as net ‘n skool. Dit bied ’n veilige hawe waar leerlinge gehalte-onderrig ontvang en die geleentheid kry om hulself te vind.
Die skool het sy deure op 16 Januarie 2008 geopen. Dit het sy ontstaan te danke aan die stigters, mnre. Andre Berg en Willem Opperman, wat die behoefte opgemerk het vir ’n privaatskool op Okahandja waar kinders individuele aandag kan kry.
Die skool se naam is ’n kombinasie van die stigters se vanne.
Berg-Op Akademie beskou hulself as ’n familie wat saambou aan die toekoms van kinders, met die Bybel as die grondslag waarop die skool gevestig is.
Mnr. Piet Greeff is sedert die skool se ontstaan die skoolhoof. “Van dag een af was Berg-Op na aan my hart, want dit waarin ons glo, word in die skool toegepas. Die onderwysers en leerlinge het dit van die begin af so maklik gemaak om lief te wees vir die skool, want liefde straal uit hulle uit.”
Volgens mnr. Barend Koch, die voorsitter van die skool se beheerraad, streef Berg-Op na net die beste onderrig vir hul leerlinge.
“Om gehalte-onderrig te kan gee, is individuele aandag en tyd vir kinders noodsaaklik. Daarom is ons klasse kleiner. Ons bied ook ’n program buite normale skoolure aan vir kinders om selfs verdere individuele aandag te kan kry,” het hy gesê.
Berg-Op het tans ongeveer 200 leerlinge en 23 onderwysers in die laer- en hoërskool. Dit bring die skool se gemiddeld op ongeveer nege kinders per onderwyser wat verseker leerlinge ontvang die beste onderrig en individuele aandag.
“Ons onderwysers is nou betrokke by ons kinders en kan ook enige probleme vinnig opmerk. By Berg-Op kan ‘n kind nie maklik in die massas verdwyn nie, want hier is ons baie meer persoonlik betrokke by mekaar. Moderne en innoverende onderrigmetodes en die ideale leeromgewing is ook baie belangrik. Ons is ook in samewerking met ons vennote uit Finland om hierdie aspekte op die Namibiese kurrikulum toe te pas en sodoende ’n nuwe standaard vir onderrig in Namibië te help bou,” het Koch gesê.
Die Finse onderrigmetodes fokus daarop om kinders meer kreatief te laat leer en buite die boks te kan dink om probleme te kan oplos. “In die moderne toekoms waarvoor ons ons kinders opvoed, gaan dit ’n belangrike rol speel in hulle sukses. Daar word ook sterk klem op groepswerk as deel van die onderrigproses en selfstandigheid geplaas,” het Koch gesê.
Die skool se e-leerprogram en die beplande robotika-kurrikulum vorm ook deel van hierdie proses. “Ons berei ons leerlinge nie net akademies voor nie, maar ook vir die lewe ná graad 12 en hoe hulle probleme moet hanteer in ’n moderne wêreld.”
Koch het ook bevestig die skool is tans besig om moderne e-leerstelsels te toets wat onder meer aanlyn huiswerk, take en evaluering insluit. “Ons het die vak ‘Design and Technology’ geïdentifiseer wat baie toekomsgerig is. Ons beoog om addisionele periodes hieraan toe te ken waarin kinders ekstra en relevante praktiese opleiding gaan kry.”
Verskeie veranderinge en herstelwerk is ook onlangs aan die skool gedoen.
“Ons het met die hulp van kinders, ouers, onderwysers en ander vrywilligers die skool in twee dae heeltemal verander. Ons het odner meer binne en buite geverf. Spesifieke aandag is gegee aan die gebruik van kleure in klaskamers wat help om die regte area van die brein te stimuleer na gelang van die vak wat in die klaskamer aangebied word,” het Koch gesê.
Die beligting binne die klaskamers is ook verander na ligte met ’n ligfrekwensiespektrum wat daglig simuleer, met navorsing wat bewys dat dié die beste resultate in ’n leeromgewing lewer.
“In samewerking met ons sport- en kultuurvennote op die dorp bied Berg-Op ’n hele aantal sport- en kultuuraktiwiteite vir ons leerlinge aan. Dit behels onder meer atletiek, rugby, netbal, krieket, tennis, stoei, boogskiet, dans, vlugbal, skaak, drama en koor,” het Koch gesê.
Van die skool se prestasies sluit in die o.13-rugbyspan wat die nasionale ligawenners is, die o.13- en o.14-seunstennisspanne wat nasionale kampioene is, asook ’n derde plek vir hul o.14-meisiespanne wat aan die FNB-skoleliga deelgeneem het
Verder spog die skool ook met uitstekende prestasies in stoei tydens die Nasionale Namibiese Stoeikampioenskappe. Hier behaal die skool se leerlinge tweede plekke in die afdelings 24 kg, 27 kg, 34 kg en 43 kg. Leerlinge behaal ook eerste plekke in die afdelings 20 kg, 38 kg en 67 kg..
Ná die Napso Kultuurfees spog die skool ook twee goue medaljes vir dans, met van die hoogste punte van die fees. By die Nasionale Namibiese Boogskietkampioenskappe het die junior span van Berg-Op Akademie brons ontvang, asook silwer in die algehele junior kampioen-afdeling.
“Ons gaan voort om met goed gekwalifiseerde onderwysers ons leerlinge akademies goed toe te rus, maar ook om ons leerlinge deur ons Christelike beginsels voor te berei om goeie en volwaardige landsburgers te wees,” het Greeff gesê.
12/02/19--14:00: Hansen confirms Japan move
Hansen confirms Japan moveToyota Verblitz to benefit from coaching guru's off-field mentorship Steve Hansen has confirmed he has taken up a consultant post at Toyota Verblitz. Former All Blacks coach Steve Hansen on Monday confirmed his long-expected move to Japan, where he will take up a role as a coaching consultant with top league side Toyota Verblitz.
The 60-year-old stepped down from his All Blacks role following their third-place finish at the Japan Rugby World Cup.
He spent 16 years with the team, the last eight as head coach, and was a part of two successful World Cup campaigns.
“I've got a new job which involves me mentoring, consulting and advising at Toyota Verblitz,” he said in a video on the All Blacks website.
“It's not as a head coach, it's more as an advisor, a mentor, and it requires me to be up there for five to 17 weeks a year.”
Toyota Verblitz is coached by fellow New Zealander Simon Cron, who was an assistant at the New South Wales Waratahs for two years, until the end of the 2019 Super Rugby season.
“The key thing is to go in and work with the people in the environment,” Hansen added.
“The opportunity to help him (Cron) grow is something that really excites me.
“While it's not a full-time coaching role, it's a role that still allows me to stay in the game.
It's also a role that will allow me to have the family time that I want to have and I'm really looking forward to it,” Hansen added.
New Zealand media had reported earlier this year that Hansen was headed to Japan after the World Cup, but he said on Monday he had not signed anything until after the tournament had ended.
He will link up with former All Blacks captain Kieran Read, who signed a one-year contract with Toyota Verblitz earlier this year.
New Zealand Rugby are in the process of appointing Hansen's successor, with his former assistant Ian Foster and Canterbury Crusaders head coach Scott Robertson the leading candidates.
12/02/19--14:00: Verwerf kwalifikasies in Afrikaans
Verwerf kwalifikasies in AfrikaansNamibiërs kan op eie bodem studeer Akademia beoog om 'n leiding­gewende ­verskaffer van hoëronderwys­kwalifikasies te wees. Mariselle Stofberg
Akademia is 'n privaat hoër­onderwysinstelling en bied aan individue die geleentheid om 'n kwalifikasie te verwerf met behulp van interaktiewe nauurse klasse in Afrikaans by studie­sentrums oraloor Suid-Afrika en selfs nou ook in Namibië.
Een van die instelling se studentesentrums is in Windhoek, wat aan Namibiërs die geleentheid bied om 'n diploma, sertifikaat of graad te verwerf.
Mnr. Paul Vogel, ­bedryfsbestuurder van Akademia, sê die uitbreiding na Namibië is 'n groot mylpaal vir dié instelling. “Nou kan ons vir nóg meer studente 'n beter toekoms skep deur nie net hoëgehalte-onderrig te bied nie, maar ook by te dra tot hul vorming as mens en hul betrokkenheid in hul gemeenskap.”
Die Namibiese sentrum het op 10 Februarie 2018 amptelik sy deure in Windhoek oopgemaak.
Tydens die inligtingsessie wat Akademia aan voornemende Namibiese studente op 23 November vanjaar gebied het, het die instansie reeds groot groei ervaar met die hoeveelheid individue wat die geleentheid bygewoon het. “Ons is baie opgewonde, want ek dink Namibië raak nou meer bewus van ons en besef wat ons vir hul kan bied. Ek is opgewonde vir wat voorlê vir ons,” sê me. Chrisna O'Kennedy van Akademia. Sy is die studenteraadgewer by die studiesentrum in Windhoek.
Akademia beoog om 'n leiding­gewende verskaffer van hoëronderwyskwalifikasies te wees.
Wat Akademia van ander instansies onderskei, is die gebruik van moderne tegnologiese stelsels vir leergeleenthede en ondersteuning aan studente.
“Ons model is van so aard dat dit gerieflik is vir werkende mense wat nauurs wil studeer. Ons onderrigmodel kombineer afstandsleer met 'n klaservaring. Akademia maak gebruik van gevorderde ­tegnologie om klasse vanuit die ateljee in ­Centurion in Suid-Afrika regstreeks uit te saai na 13 studiesentrums. Die model is ten volle interaktief en studente kan aan medestudente in ander sentrums vrae vra of deelneem aan 'n gesprek,” sê O'Kennedy.
Elke studiesentrum is met moderne videokonferensie-tegnologie en gratis internettoegang toegerus waarmee studente toegang tot Akademia se digitale leerruimte, die Spens, kan verkry. Die interaktiewe aard van die kontaksessies bied aan studente 'n uitstekende afstandsleerervaring, aangesien dit voel asof jy werklik deel van die sessie en nie net 'n toeskouer is nie.
Tydens kontaksessies kan studente die dosent se klasnotas of berekeninge op 'n groot skerm sien en op 'n tweede skerm word die dosent lewensgroot vertoon. Studente kan aan die klasgesprek deelneem deur eenvoudig 'n hand op te steek en 'n vraag te vra. Sagteware bring outomaties so 'n student na die voorgrond van die ­videovoer in ander sessies. Op 'n soortgelyke wyse kan die dosent vrae aan enige student in enige van die studiesentrums rig en word die ­bespreking regstreeks oor studiesentrums heen gedeel en ervaar. Na afloop van klaskontaksessies word die opnames geredigeer en binne enkele dae op Akademia se digitale leerruimte vir ­studente be­skikbaar gemaak. Hier kan studente video-opnames van die kontak­sessie aflaai, argiefmateriaal ­bestudeer, of selfs net die klankbaan op hul selfone laai om later weer as 'n klank­uitsending te luister.
Akademia bied 'n nauurse rooster en 'n blokrooster. Nuwe studente by Akademia word outomaties op die nauurse rooster geplaas. Deur 'n maklike aansoekproses te voltooi, kan studente vir die blokrooster oorweeg word, mits hulle aan die bepalings en voorwaardes vir die blokrooster voldoen.
Die instelling het onlangs die blokstelsel bekend gestel. Dit maak dit moontlik vir studente wat meer as 100 km van die naaste studente­sentrum geleë is, om aansoek te doen om te kwalifiseer vir die ­blokroosters. Hierdie studente kan gevolglik vier kontaksessies kies wat hulle dan kan bywoon.
Solidariteit se Helpende Hand ­Studiefondssentrum bied ook aan individue die kans om aansoek te doen om rentevrye studielenings wat eers betaalbaar is wanneer die studente afstudeer het.
Akademia se aansoeke vind eksklusief aanlyn plaas, en kan op die instansie se webblad gevind word. Aansoeke kan binne 20 minute voltooi word. Vir jou aansoek benodig jy 'n gesertifiseerde matrieksertifikaat of jou mees onlangse ­matriekpunte, 'n gesertifiseerde identiteitsdokument, jou curriculum vitae en enige vorige naskoolse kwalifikasie (in die geval van mense ouer as 19).

12/02/19--14:00: Namibia among top safari destinations
Namibia among top safari destinations Namibia has been named one of the top safari destinations in Africa for 2019 by SafariBookings.
SafariBookings boasts that is the largest online marketplace for African safari holidays. It receives thousands of safari reviews and once a year analyses them to determine the country that should be crowned Africa's best for safaris.
Namibia was ranked the seventh best safari destination in Africa, with Botswana topping the list followed by Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Other countries in the top 12 include Kenya (five), South Africa (six), Uganda (eight), Rwanda (nine), Swaziland (10), Mozambique (11) and Malawi (12).
According to the website more than 4 000 reviews were analysed in the comprehensive study and safari-goers from across the world made their contributions.
The analysis also included reviews from travel journalists who contribute regularly to Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, Frommer's, Bradt and Footprint. These industry professionals made up the SafariBookings expert panel.
Under the Namibia safari reviews the country was rated 4.3 stars by experts and 4.7 stars by users. The SafariBookings overview of Namibia said the country is characterised by its desert habitat.
“The harsh environment forms a magnificent backdrop for a different kind of safari. Animal populations are smaller, but sightings in this sparse setting tend to be rewarding.”
The website further showed that Namibia had a higher user rating of 4.59 than its expert rating of 3.95, which resulted in a total rating of 4.27. Botswana's total rating was 4.61.

12/02/19--14:00: Lions are now livestock in SA
Lions are now livestock in SA The Operators and Professional Hunting Associations of Africa (OPHAA), which includes Namibia, has expressed concern over South Africa's reclassification of more than 30 species as farm animals.
Lions, cheetahs, rhinos and zebras were among 33 species that became “farm animals” in May this year when the South African government approved an amendment to the Animal Improvement Act (AIA) which governs livestock breeding.
The hunting association issued a statement saying it was troubled by the decision made by South Africa's Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development on the listing of indigenous wildlife game species as landrace breeds in terms of the Animal Improvement Act.
“This listing completely disregards one of the fundamental concepts of a natural world and wildlife as we know it, and will, without a doubt, threaten not only conservation efforts, but also the livelihoods of those who rely on well-managed and ethical hunting practices, as was clearly seen with the captive-bred lion issue in South Africa,” it said.
The association further said that not only was the reputation of South Africa jeopardised, but it also had implications for bans of trophy imports from South Africa and other African countries.
“OPHAA has taken a clear stance against the practice of captive-bred lions, and the shooting of such, as well as the artificial breeding of wild animals for hunting purposes, and where there is no conservation value. Our position on the listing of indigenous species as landrace breeds under the Animal Improvement Act is the same.”
The association said there was no doubt that hunting in general is extremely negatively affected by this practice, and therefore detrimental to all conservation practices.
The association further added that it directly influences the hunting industries of all other African countries negatively, and shows disrespect for other countries' views on conservation through hunting, thereby directly affecting its livelihood and conservation of natural resources.
According to the association the ramifications of this decision by the department of agriculture in South Africa has left the country with yet another obstacle in its way to rebuild its reputation.
“Despite the good conservation efforts of the wildlife sector in South Africa and the Department of Environmental Affairs, Agriculture and Forestry, OPHAA is of the opinion that if South Africa does not make a strong turnaround decision to take the high road in all its conservation efforts, that it might as well accept its total amputation from being a well-respected role player in conservation.”
OPHAA represents professional hunters in Botswana, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
