  • Angolan Giraffe (Giraffa Camelopardalis Ssp
    Angolan Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis ssp. angolensis) Appendix 1: Historical and recent geographic range and population of Angolan Giraffe G. c. angolensis Geographic Range ANGOLA Historical range in Angola Giraffe formerly occurred in the mopane and acacia savannas of southern Angola (East 1999). According to Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo (2005), the historic distribution of the species presented a discontinuous range with two, reputedly separated, populations. The western-most population extended from the upper course of the Curoca River through Otchinjau to the banks of the Kunene (synonymous Cunene) River, and through Cuamato and the Mupa area further north (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, Dagg 1962). The intention of protecting this western population of G. c. angolensis, led to the proclamation of Mupa National Park (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, P. Vaz Pinto pers. comm.). The eastern population occurred between the Cuito and Cuando Rivers, with larger numbers of records from the southeast corner of the former Mucusso Game Reserve (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, Dagg 1962). By the late 1990s Giraffe were assumed to be extinct in Angola (East 1999). According to Kuedikuenda and Xavier (2009), a small population of Angolan Giraffe may still occur in Mupa National Park; however, no census data exist to substantiate this claim. As the Park was ravaged by poachers and refugees, it was generally accepted that Giraffe were locally extinct until recent re-introductions into southern Angola from Namibia (Kissama Foundation 2015, East 1999, P. Vaz Pinto pers. comm.). BOTSWANA Current range in Botswana Recent genetic analyses have revealed that the population of Giraffe in the Central Kalahari and Khutse Game Reserves in central Botswana is from the subspecies G.

  • The Structural Evolution of the Kombat Deposits, Otavi Mountainland, Namibia
    Communs geol. Surv. Namibia, 10 (1995), 99-107 The structural evolution of the Kombat deposits, Otavi Mountainland, Namibia J.G.Deane Gold Fields Namibia, P.O. Box 3718, Windhoek, Namibia The main phase of the Kombat Cu-Pb (Ag) mineralization is interpreted as being stratabound and syntectonic. The ore deposits are located in Hüttenberg Formation carbonates, on the Northern Platform margin of the Damara Province. Mineralization occurs on the contact with the overlying Kombat Formation phyllite. The deposits form a near-linear east-west trend of pendant-shaped ore loci with a strike length of 6 km. Characteristic features are the abundance of sandstone in Damaran-age karsts, Fe-Mn oxide/silicate as- semblages, intense faulting, fracturing, shearing and brecciation. A strong calcite alteration halo encompasses the deposits. The calcite alteration is of various ages, and therefore not always related to the mineralizing event. The association of stratiform Fe-Mn oxide/ silicate assemblages with the Kombat deposits has led to conflicting ideas regarding the genesis of these deposits. Field evidence, supported by analytical results, has led to the construction of a genetic model for the mineralization and Fe-Mn assemblages. A marine transgression, resulting from late-stage rift tectonism, drowned the southern parts of the Otavi Valley basin. This allowed for deep- seated hydrothermal fluids from the northern graben to migrate up the rift structures, enter the Otavi Valley basin, and deposit Fe and Mn as oxide/silicate assemblages in favourable third-order structures on the platform margin. It is probable that an early phase of Cu mineralization was related to these diagenetic processes.

  • Agricultural Activities on the Farms Tsumore and Manheim, Tsumeb District
    APP: 00911 AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES ON THE FARMS TSUMORE AND MANHEIM, TSUMEB DISTRICT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT SCOPING REPORT Assessed by: Assessed for: December 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Namfo requested Geo Pollution Technologies (Pty) Ltd to undertake an environmental assessment for their existing agricultural activities on farms Tsumore (FMB/01249) and Manheim (FMB/00100/00025) in the Tsumeb District (Figure 1). The farms are located adjacent to each other and are managed as one agricultural unit. Namfo currently irrigates 56 ha on the farm while 60 ha is used for dryland cropping. The main produce are tomatoes, sweetcorn, lettuce, cabbage, sweet melons, potatoes, carrots and onions. Irrigation is from six production boreholes, by means of centre pivot, micro-sprinkler and drip irrigation systems. The main operational activities include: land preparation; planting; water abstraction and irrigation; fertilizer application and pest control; harvesting; and processing and packaging. The environmental assessment is conducted to determine all environmental, safety, health and socio- economic impacts associated with the continued agricultural activities on the farm. Relevant environmental data has been compiled by making use of secondary data and from a reconnaissance site visit. Potential environmental impacts and associated social impacts were identified and are addressed in this report. The project location lies amidst various other agricultural farms and developments. Due to the nature and location of the Namfo’s agricultural activities, some impacts can be expected on the surrounding environment, see summary impacts table below. Regular environmental performance monitoring is thus recommended to ensure regulatory compliance and the implementation of corrective measures when necessary. Namfo’s operations play a role in contributing to the Namibian agricultural sector.

  • An Investigative Study on the Namibian Defence Force's Combat
    AN INVESTIGATIVE STUDY ON THE NAMIBIAN DEFENCE FORCE’S COMBAT READINESS FOCUSING ON ALTERNATIVE POLICY OF TERMINATION AND RETENTION OF EXPERTISE IN THE MILITARY SERVICES A THESIS SUBMITED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN SECURITY AND STRATEGIC STUDIES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NAMIBIA FACULTY OF ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE STUDIES BY APPOLOS NDAITWA HAIMBALA 200743112 Windhoek, April 2014 Main Supervisor: Dr. Lesley Blaauw i ABSTRACT National and international peace and security rely immensely on the perceived security dimension of combat readiness. As such, world nations frequently modernise their armed forces in order to achieve a sufficient level of competitive combat readiness in order to act as deterrence against external threats. These actions, however, frequently cause other nations to feel threatened which may result in them embarking on a build-up of the military at public expense. Nevertheless, combat readiness is a pre-requisite for a military’s ability to prevent attacks from a potential aggressor while simultaneously calling for the application of restraining measures in order to prevent wars. In light of the need for militaries to retain a sufficient level of competitive combat readiness, the general findings of this study suggest that there is a requirement to change the retirement condition within Namibia’s public service. This study aims to enlighten both military personnel and the general public on the country’s combat readiness, and ability to quickly deploy in war times. This study applied a qualitative research perspective which adopted a convenient stratified technique. Upon analysing the data, the study indicated that the absence of clear policies on retirement and retention of expertise in the military services hampers the effectiveness of military combat readiness in the Namibian Defence Force.

Abstract The purpose of this report was to assess the current state of the water supply and sanitation systems in the settlement of Tsumkwe, Namibia. Data collected during fieldwork resulted in a detailed map of the location and condition of these systems, which was not previously available. Information gathered from interviews revealed Tsumkwe residents’ perceptions. We have analyzed and com- piled this data into a list of recommendations for the DRFN regarding a possible development plan to improve water supply and sanitation. i Acknowledgements This project would not have been possible without the assistance of the Desert Research Foundation of Namibia, our advisors, and our many informants and translators.

Numerous studies have shown that ore formation in Mississippi Valley-type deposits. bears a close relationship with carbonate diagenesis and basin evolution. The application of isotope (Sr , 0, C) techniques as regards to timing and mechanisms of ore-forming processes, as a possible tool in exploration. is especially emphasized in this study. Detailed petrographic and isotope-geochemical investigations were carried out in the Late Precambrian deposits of Berg Aukas. situated just north of the town of Grootfontein. in addition to the Odin Prospect situated to the east of Kombat Mine.
