OMUTHIYA NEWSLETTER.Cdr OMUTHIYA TOWN COUNCIL MESSAGE TO POTENTIAL INVESTORS COUNCIL GATHERS INFORMAL TRADERS TOURISM ESTABLISHMENT IN OMUTHIYA Omuthiya Newsash OMUTHIYA TOWN COUNCIL Preface I am grateful for this opportunity to present this reading to the people of Omuthiya in particular and Namibia in general, while we are still early in the year 2017. The Council is currently at the budgeting period for 2017/18 nancial year. Therefore, I must utilize this platform to inform you of this opportunity and request you to assist us by bringing forth some considerations that you might wish council to look at. We do not want to plan in isolation henceforth, I would Finally, I wish to shed light on the matter like to humbly request you during our discussion to open of compensation which played a major up and assist the Council with the budget formulation. role during Council Public Meetings last I believe you have brilliant ideas with you therefore so, year.

Therefore, old policy as promised during our I advice that you should be considerate of this economic meeting last year, therefore let us be condition and come up only with activities and projects patient and wait for the outcome. that can be nancially achieved and is of the pressing nature. The suggested ideas would then be weighed and repriotised depending on the affordability. Some can be implemented this year and some in the following years to come. All Ofcial Correspondences Must be Addressed to the Chief Executive Ofcer Omuthiya Newsash OMUTHIYA TOWN COUNCIL Editor’s Note The year 2017 kicked off kind of in usual tone with people complaining about January being a difcult month. People normally say that in January most people nd themselves in nancial anxiety hence they struggle to make ends meet. Even worse, January is a month during which school starts and children have to be sent back to school during this dry month. To avoid this situation, I suggest that people seek nancial advice on how to handle their nances during the festive season. Let us make use of our nancial institutions and learn about nancial products and services available. Most importantly, we should work on our nancial discipline and do away with impulse buying. I am, however, glad that good rains have fallen in most parts of the country and in fact most parts of the SADC Region recently. This is giving hope of a better harvest after a prolonged period of draught in Namibia and the SADC Region. The economy of the country is currently hostile but if it continues to rain well before the rain seasons ends, crops and animal farmers will produce more and this will result in food security for our country in general and Omuthiya Town in particular. The tourism sector for our country is however favourable hence I would like to urge the public to treat the tourists like an uncooked egg, so that we don't scare them away but make them conduct repeat visits. Furthermore, should the public and the law enforcement agencies protect and take care of the tourists, the tourism industry will continue to grow and result in more job opportunities created. The Omuthiya community should take this serious because Omuthiya has a great potential to become the tourism hub of the north due its close proximity to the world popular Etosha National Park. I would nally like to use this opportunity to urge the business community, non- governmental organization, and the general public to work closely with the Omuthiya Town Council to make Omuthiya the preferred town in Namibia.

This area is very popular and currently the Okashan Wetland (Othithiya). This planning attracts mostly residents and local tourists (tourists involves creating residential plots and business from neighboring towns), who usually gather plots for properties such as hotel and water park, around the water area and engage in braaing, a 9 hole golf course, golf estate, recreation and swimming, and sometimes play sports such as braai area, camp site, heritage site, lodge Volley Ball, and Seven-A-Side Soccer. establishments, and urban agricultural land. This envisaged development is expected to boost This wetland being located on the King Nehale tourism in Omuthiya Town. Road that leads into the Etosha National Park, gives it the potential of attracting international tourists and all the other tourists using the King Nehale Road to and from Etosha.

Bredenkamp Co-supervisor: Mr. B.J. Strohbach © University of Pretoria ABSTRACT The vegetation of Omusati and Oshana Regions, central-northern Namibia by FRANSISKA NDIITEELA KANGOMBE Supervisor: Prof. Dr. G.J. Bredenkamp Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MAGISTER SCIENTIAE in the Department of Plant Science, Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences University of Pretoria December 2010 Central-northern Namibia is home to an approximate 43% of the country’s population, a large proportion of which still depends directly on natural resources for their livelihoods. The main land use in this area is agro-silvo-pastoralism i.e. a combination of subsistence farming and silvi-culture. The few phytosociological and biodiversity data available in Namibia are not substantial to motivate environmental management and sustainable utilization of the country’s natural wealth. The Vegetation Survey Project of Namibia coupled with the BIOTA southern Africa Project therefore share a common goal of re-classifying Namibian vegetation by building on the Preliminary Vegetation Map of Namibia of 1971 and the Homogenous Framing Areas Report of 1979. The vegetation of Omusati and Oshana regions which are situated in the Mopanne Savanna in central-northern Namibia was classified and described by subjecting 415 relevés to multivariate analysis i.e. classification and ordination. The geographical distribution of these community types was established by supervised classification of satellite data of the study area.

Preparation of Cabinet Agenda Of late, the Prime Minister has noticed that some of the Cabinet Memoranda referred to the Cabinet Office for placement on Cabinet Agenda do not conform to the requirements set out in the Cabinet Handbook. As a result, there is marked increase in the incidence of issues referred back from the Cabinet. In order to avoid such instances, all Permanent Secretaries should - ensure that Cabinet Memoranda submitted to the Cabinet Office are prepared in conformity with the provisions set out in the Cabinet Handbook. Specifically, the Permanent Secretaries should ensure that: 1. Cabinet Memoranda are prepared after the necessary consultation with the various ministries or offices affected by or having an interest in the issues being referred to the Cabinet for decision; 2. the Memoranda are unambiguous. They must be very specific as to the Cabinet decisions being sought. This requires that the Memoranda must contain specific recommendations -- it is not sufficient merely to present a problem to the Cabinet for a decision without proposing course of action or actions; and - 3.

  • Chapter 6 Kunene, Oshana and Oshikoto Regions
    Chapter 6 Kunene, Oshana and Oshikoto Regions By Ute Dieckmann Farm Six – a Hai||om San settlement in Oshikoto Region 6.1 General background In the 19th century and early 20th century, the Hai||om San as an ethnic group lived in the region stretching from the area then known as Owamboland to present-day Etosha, Grootfontein, Tsumeb, Otavi, Outjo and Otjiwarongo (Dieckmann 2007b: 35-36) (see map next page). Today the Hai||om are concentrated in parts of Kunene, Oshikoto and Oshana Regions, constituting the majority San population of these regions, therefore these three regions are dealt with in a single chapter. Estimations of the number of Hai||om in Namibia vary. Budack’s estimate in 1980 was 11 000 (see Widlok 1999: 23), and the census of 1991 (the latest available data on Hai||om) found 7 506 Hai||om speakers (see Widlok 1999: 19). However, the Hai||om language is closely related to Nama/Damara (also of the Khoekhoegowab language family), and our study found that many Hai||om, in response to the census question of “main language spoken at home”, had stated that it was “Nama/Damara”.

    REPUBLIC OF NAMIBIA MINISTRY OF WORKS AND TRANSPORT VOTE 24: DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT BY HONOURABLE ERKKI NGHIMTINA, MP MINISTER OF WORKS AND TRANSPORT 25 March 2014 1 | P a g e Vote 24 Budget speech for the financial year 2014/2015 by Honourable Erkki Nghimtina Minister of Works and Transport Honourable Chairperson of the whole house Committee Honourable Members Let me thank the honorable members of this House for affording me the opportunity to present to you the programmes for the Department of Transport, Vote 24, in the Ministry of Works and Transport. Vote 24 is responsible for the oversight of the development of efficient and effective transport infrastructure which contributes to the promotion of the country’s economic development and social upliftment. Namibia is daunted by the formidable task of maintaining the roads and railway lines due to flood waters during rainy season. Easy mobility for the people and industry remains our focus therefore maintenance and proper management of these government assets is a must and needs to be preserved and intensified. Transport infrastructure and services remain crucial for generating economic growth, alleviating poverty, reducing the scourge of inequality and increasing domestic and international competitiveness. In financing transport infrastructure we are aware of Namibia’s economic and social characteristics including various demands made on tax based revenues. We, on the other hand, therefore welcome and encourage the willingness of the private sector to invest in transport infrastructure. I am confident that Namibian’s transport infrastructure can boost our prospect to flourish despite the world economic recessions. We therefore need to be more assertive to open up the existing and untapped markets 2 | P a g e through the provision of adequate and world-class transportation infrastructures.
