    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.

    The Role of Regional Councillors in Consultation and Communication Regarding Rural Service Delivery in the Oshana Region of Namibia

    THE ROLE OF REGIONAL COUNCILLORS IN CONSULTATION AND COMMUNICATION REGARDING RURAL SERVICE DELIVERY IN THE OSHANA REGION OF NAMIBIA Tuhafeni Helao A research report submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Administration in the School of Government, Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences, University of the Western Cape. October 2005 Supervisor Prof. C. De Coning i DEDICATION This research report is dedicated to the memory of my late grandmother, Susanna Mhingana Iiyambo; for her courage and advice from my childhood. Her departure on the 24th October 2004 has left a vacuum in the family, and indeed, in me, a memory which will never faint for the rest of my life. That is why I am saying: ‘Hambelela Nyokokulu, Nyoko ngeno ina dalwa’, if loosely translated it means; Praise your grandmother otherwise your mother could not have been born”. Thank you grandmother! ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Whilst I take full responsibility for whatever is presented in this Research Report, I am mindfully aware that it could not have been completed in its entirety without the undivided co-operation of a number of people, who gave their moral support, expertise, experience, views and time. Therefore, I wish to express my gratitude to my wife Emma and my children (Ndalinoshisho, Nangolo, Nelao, Ndeshipanda, Ndahafa and Ndapewa). Your patience, considerate and understanding have made this study a reality and without you being there for me I would never have achieved this. Secondly, I will not do justice to myself if I do not express my gratitude and appreciation to Prof.

Migration is a powerful driver of population change and can have important consequence of economic, political and social changes. Because of its great impact on societies, migration needs to be adequately measured and understood. Reliable statistical data is the key to the basic understanding of this important demographic phenomenon. Yet in many countries, including Na- mibia, statistics on migration are incomplete, out-of-date or do not exist. Improvement in this area requires knowledge of the principles of collecting, compiling and analysing migration statistics. Migration is one of the three factors that affect population size of a particular geographic area, the other factors are fertility and- mor tality. Analytical reports on the situations of fertility and mortality are presented in separate reports which were released in 2014. The migration report provides information on internal and international migration covering both lifetime and short term migrants based on 2011 census data. Thus, report presents evidences on the migration patterns in Namibia to assist policy makers, planners and researchers in the formulation of national development programmes, as well as monitoring and evaluating implementation of national pro- grams.

    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.

    Electoral Commission of Namibia For free, fair and credible elections SUPPLEMENTARY REGISTRATION OF VOTERS 08 – 20 SEPTEMBER 2014 Toll free no: 081 9362 2 Message of ECN Director Register and Let Your Voice be Heard am greatly honored to inform the Namibian Electorate that the Electoral Commission of I Namibia will be conducting Supplementary Registration of Voters in all constituencies of the country from 8 – 20 September 2014. The Registration of Voters will take place at various registration points nationwide and starts from 08H00 in the morning to 19H00 in the evening, Monday to Saturday. No registration shall be done on any Sunday. The Supplementary registration of voters will be conducted for the Presidential and National Assembly Elections. This is to ensure that all eligible persons are registered and are in possession of voters’ cards in order to partake in the upcoming Presidential and National Assembly elections. An efficient voter registration system requires the population to be active in reporting changes of residency and other relevant aspects of their civil status. The Supplementary registration will thus give an opportunity to all citizens that were not able to register during the General Registration of Voters , as well as eligible voters that just turned 18 years to register to vote. The Supplementary registration will also record changes in residency and correct any errors on the electorates’ current registration cards. The Supplementary Registration of Voters is intended to ensure that all eligible citizens can exercise their right to vote during upcoming elections. Registration of voters outside Namibia Amendments made to the Electoral Act in 2009 permits the Electoral Commission of Professor Paul John Isaak Namibia to establish temporary registration points outside Namibia.
