June, Showed a More Positive Trend, with Consumption Only 1% Above Target Media Monitoring on Urban Development in Namibia Media Monitoring on Urban Development in Namibia is a service provided by Development Workshop Namibia (DWN), a registered Namibian NGO with a focus on sustainable urban development and poverty reduction. DWN is part of a world-wide network of Development Workshop (DW) organisations with centres in Canada, Angola and France, and offices in Vietnam and Burkino Faso. It was founded in the 1970s by three architect students in the UK and has been funded by non- governmental organisations, private citizens, and national and international development organisations. In Namibia, DWN’s activities focus on urban related research, effective urban planning for the urban poor, solutions to informal settlements, water & sanitation, and projects specifically targeting disadvantaged segments of the urban youth. Through 40 years of engagement on urban issues mainly in Africa and Asia, the DW network of organisations has acquired significant institutional knowledge and capacity and is well integrated in regional and international networks. The Namibian media provide an important source of information on urban development processes in the country, highlighting current events, opportunities and challenges. The media further provide insight into the different views and perceptions of a variety of actors, be it from government, non- government, private sector, and individuals that reside in Namibia’s towns and settlements. It is therefore hoped that DWN’s Media Monitoring service will provide insights into those different views, with potential use for a variety of institutions and decision-makers that work in the urban environment in Namibia. The Media Monitoring service is currently provided on a monthly basis and monitors the following newspapers: The Namibian, Republikein, Namibian Sun, New Era, Windhoek Observer, Confidente, and Informante. The articles are grouped into following categories: Compiled by Hilja Amvula Edited by: The 1.articles Urban are Planning, grouped Landinto following & Housing categories: 2. Urban Infrastructure and Services Ester Veiko Produced by: 3. Livelihoods and Urban Economy Development Workshop Namibia 4. Environment & Human Health Address: The text of the news articles has not been altered and thus 18 Nachtigal Street PO Box 40723, Ausspannplatz reflects the opinion of the respective media outlets, and not Windhoek, Namibia that of DWN. We hope you find this service useful and 061 240 140 interesting. DWN is keen to improve the service and [email protected] welcomes suggestions and comments.

Windhoek municipality has been losing over N$1, 4 million per month in interest and penalties due to delays in implementing a public-private partnership project. The council's meeting agenda book for May 2019 shows that the municipality entered an agreement with a private company – Ino Investment Holding – in 2012 to develop about 368 residential plots. Ino Investment is co-owned by Fillemon Iyambo, who also runs the business arm of the National Union of Namibian Workers (NUNW), the Labour Investment Holdings (LIH). Under this PPP agreement, the municipality and Ino Investment Holding were supposed to develop a 33-hectare piece of land in Otjomuise Extension 5, which is bordered by Sam Nujoma Drive in the south and Dusseldorf Road in the west. This project was among several similar projects initiated by the municipality which were to be implemented in Academia Extension 1, and Otjomuise Extension 4. According to documents, construction of the infrastructure commenced in January 2014 and was to be implemented in three phases, with an estimated completion date of January

  • For Proposed Exploration of Dimension Stone on EPL 5161, Erongo Region, Namibia
    Environmental Assessment and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for proposed exploration of dimension stone on EPL 5161, Erongo Region, Namibia Date: 04 June 2020 Ecc App No.: APP-001762 Prepared for: Best Cheer Investments Namibia (Pty) Ltd Prepared by: OMAVI Geotechnical & Geo-Environmental Consultants CC (OGGC) Tel.: +264 81 300 3872 or +264 81 478 6303 Email: [email protected] 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Best Cheer Investments Namibia (Pty) Ltd (the client or Best Cheer hereafter) intends to carry out exploration activities to investigate the potential of granites and granitoid bodies on Exclusive Prospecting License (EPL) no. 5161, for use as dimension stones. The EPL is located about 25 km northeast of Arandis and covers an area of about 5059 ha. The area falls under the Karibib Constituency jurisdiction and extends across three (3) commercial farms namely Vergenoeg (no. 92), Valencia (no. 122), Namibplaas (no. 93) and one (1) communal farm Trekkopje (no. 120), however work will focus on Farm Trekkopje, particularly the middle and western parts. In order to undertake these exploration activities, an environmental clearance certificate (ECC) is required in terms of the Environmental management Act (Act No.7 of 2007) and its 2012 EIA regulations. As such, Best Cheer appointed Omavi Geotechnical and Geo-environmental Consultants CC to conduct the necessary assessments including public participation, and prepare this environmental scoping assessment (ESA) report. Best Cheer intends to adopt a systematic prospecting approach starting with desktop study, which will mostly be office based, focusing on historical data, followed by field evaluation and mapping, whereby a qualified geologist will walk the area and map it to produce a geological map with rocks of interest.
