    THE EFFECT OF REGULATIONS ON THE EFFICIENCY OF BUS AND TAXIS SERVICES IN WINDHOEK ASSOC. PROF. EUGENE MADEJSKI Ms. ROSWINDIS AMUSHILA Ms. LUCIA KULATAU Polytechnic of Namibia. Private Bag 13388, 13 Storch Strasse, Windhoek. Namibia. [email protected] 00264 61 207 2597 Title of paper: The effect of regulations on the efficiency of bus and taxi services in Windhoek. Abstract: This project was conducted in order to analyse the effect of regulations on the efficiency of bus and taxi services in Windhoek. As the public transport indeed plays a vital role in the economy, it is important to bring this sector to order and efficiency. Proper regulation of this sector is not only important for the income it generates to a country and its contribution to GDP, but as it has been observed elsewhere, when the transport sector goes on strike due to dissatisfaction in one 0 area or another, the result is chaos in public and loss of business to general members of the public. The public transport has great potential to contribute significantly to the country’s economy and it plays a vital role for the government (Ministry of Works and Transport), in ensuring good governance which is essential towards achieving efficiency. In order to successfully carry out this research and critically analyse the public transport system in Namibia, a qualitative research was conducted. This research was done in a form of face to face interviews with a sample size of 20, via simple random sampling methods. This method helped to establish a great understanding of the current situation faced by this sector.

Independence brought to an end one of the most intractable and wasteful conflicts in the region. With independence, the people of Namibia not only gained political freedom, but set out on the challenging task of building a nation and defining their relations with the world. From the perspective of mediation, the role of the international community in bringing about Namibia's independence in general, and that of the United Nations in particular, was of a deep structural nature.

  • Geology of the Kranzberg Syncline and Emplacement Controls of the Usakos Pegmatite Field, Damara Belt, Central Namibia
    GEOLOGY OF THE KRANZBERG SYNCLINE AND EMPLACEMENT CONTROLS OF THE USAKOS PEGMATITE FIELD, DAMARA BELT, CENTRAL NAMIBIA by Geoffrey J. Owen Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science at the University of Stellenbosch Supervisor: Prof. Alex Kisters Faculty of Science Department of Earth Sciences March 2011 i DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitely otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Signature: Date: 15. February 2011 ii ABSTRACT The Central Zone (CZ) of the Damara belt in central Namibia is underlain by voluminous Pan-African granites and is host to numerous pegmatite occurrences, some of which have economic importance and have been mined extensively. This study discusses the occurrence, geometry, relative timing and emplacement mechanisms for the Usakos pegmatite field, located between the towns of Karibib and Usakos and within the core of the regional-scale Kranzberg syncline. Lithological mapping of the Kuiseb Formation in the core of the Kranzberg syncline identified four litho-units that form an up to 800 m thick succession of metaturbidites describing an overall coarsening upward trend. This coarsening upwards trend suggests sedimentation of the formation’s upper parts may have occurred during crustal convergence and basin closure between the Kalahari and Congo Cratons, rather than during continued spreading as previously thought.

  • The Cassinga Massacre of Namibian Exiles in 1978 and the Conflicts Between Survivors’ Memories and Testimonies
    ENDURING SUFFERING: THE CASSINGA MASSACRE OF NAMIBIAN EXILES IN 1978 AND THE CONFLICTS BETWEEN SURVIVORS’ MEMORIES AND TESTIMONIES BY VILHO AMUKWAYA SHIGWEDHA A Dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History University of the Western Cape December 2011 Supervisor: Professor Patricia Hayes ABSTRACT During the peak of apartheid, the South African Defence Force (SADF) killed close to a thousand Namibian exiles at Cassinga in southern Angola. This happened on May 4 1978. In recent years, Namibia commemorates this day, nationwide, in remembrance of those killed and disappeared following the Cassinga attack. During each Cassinga anniversary, survivors are modelled into „living testimonies‟ of the Cassinga massacre. Customarily, at every occasion marking this event, a survivor is delegated to unpack, on behalf of other survivors, „memories of Cassinga‟ so that the inexperienced audience understands what happened on that day. Besides survivors‟ testimonies, edited video footage showing, among others, wrecks in the camp, wounded victims laying in hospital beds, an open mass grave with dead bodies, SADF paratroopers purportedly marching in Cassinga is also screened for the audience to witness the agony of that day. Interestingly, the way such presentations are constructed draw challenging questions. For example, how can the visual and oral presentations of the Cassinga violence epitomize actual memories of the Cassinga massacre? How is it possible that such presentations can generate a sense of remembrance against forgetfulness of those who did not experience that traumatic event? When I interviewed a number of survivors (2007 - 2010), they saw no analogy between testimony (visual or oral) and memory. They argued that memory unlike testimony is personal (solid, inexplicable and indescribable).

  • Roads Infrastructure Funding and Financing for Namibia: a Case Study of the National Road Network
    Roads Infrastructure Funding and Financing for Namibia: A Case Study of the National Road Network Helvi Ndilimeke Petrus Dissertation presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Transport Economics in the Faculty of Economics and Management Sciences, at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Stephan Krygsman March 2020 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I, Helvi Ndilimeke Petrus, hereby declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work; that I am the sole owner of the copyright thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated); and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. H.N. Petrus March 2020 Copyright © 2020 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Namibia established a second-generation road fund with the aim of implementing a user-pays system by ensuring that road users pay for their consumption of road services. The national road network covers approximately 48 399 km and serves a vehicle population of approximately 371 281. Somewhat implicit in these road funds is the confidence that the Road User Charge System (RUCS) will deliver sufficient funding for the road sector. This exploratory case study investigated the funding and financing of the national road network in Namibia. The national road network constituted the population from which the hypothetical road samples were drawn. Several data-collection methods were employed, including document analysis and secondary data analysis. The research employed the Highway Development and Management (HDM-4) model to estimate the external costs of road use.
