SCOPING (BASELINE) 1.1 Introduction Stream Six Energies CC (SSE) has appointed Ekwao Consulting (Ekwao) to handle the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) scoping studies for the development of its proposed fuel retail service station and related activities on Erf 6281, Extension 23 in the town of Ondangwa. This EIA consists of three parts, this Baseline Scoping Report (BSR), the Public Participation Process (PPP) and the Environmental Management Plan (EMP). This report represents as far as possible the outcome of the Scoping Assessment conducted by Ekwao with respect to the proposed development. 1.2 Terms of References The Terms of Reference for this EIA are as follow: a) To critically look into the location and suitability of the site for the proposed development. b) To provide a detailed description of the Baseline Information including applicable national environmental legislative and regulatory frameworks. c) To describe, evaluate and analyse potential environmental impacts which the proposed project is likely to pose, expressed in terms of the physical, biological (ecological) and socio-economic aspects. d) To evaluate the technology, procedures and processes to be used in the implementation of the project. e) To conduct a Public Participation Process (PPP) during which the views, concerns, inputs and attitudes of the community particularly the nearby residents are assessed and evaluated towards the proposed development. f) To formulate an Environmental Management Plan (EMP), proposing the measures to be taken to eliminate and to minimize adverse impacts on the environment during the Construction and Operational Phases. g) To submit the EIA Report to the Office of the Environmental Commissioner in the Ministry of Environmental, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT) for review and consideration whether to award or to refuse an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) for the planned development. 1.3 Approach to the EIA Study In preparing for the Scoping Assessment, Ekwao has adopted an investigative approach which took consideration of the existing environment and the possible impacts which the proposed development will bring to bear to the physical, EIA for Stream Six Energies CC Page 4 biological (ecological) and socio-economic environments. The proposed site was assessed by way of: physical observation visual surveying taking of photographic images, and by talking to the proponent and residents in the immediate vicinity of the development Mitigation measures for identified negative impacts were considered over the two phases of the development namely: a) The Construction Phase which consists of pre-construction, construction and post construction activities b) The Operational Phase which is the ‘Business Phase’ of the development Mechanism for monitoring and evaluations of compliance were proposed and included in the EMP which forms part of EIA process. Finally, a Public Participation Process (PPP) as required by the EIA process was undertaken for this proposed development. The impacts have been assessed on the following aspects: Access to the Site Topography Climatic Data Geology of the area Hydrology Land Use and Capability Waste Management Dust Impacts Air Quality Noise Impacts Visual Impacts Flora (Plant life) Fauna (Livestock) Archaeological & Cultural Heritage Traffic Impacts Socio-Economic Impacts EIA for Stream Six Energies CC Page 5 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT 2.1 The Project Promoter The planned new fuel retail service station is promoted by Stream Six Energies CC – a 100% owned and managed Namibian company. The promoter has the backing and support of at least two local fuel franchisors vying to go into business with SSE for the strategic location of its site. 2.2 Location of the Project Erf 6281 is in extension 23 within the Ondangwa Townlands in the Oshana Region. When going in the direction of Oshakati, taking Olunkono Shopping Complex as a reference point, extension 23 is the area wedged between the Northern Tannery, Ondangwa Plastic Convertors and Ondangwa Airport Lodge to the south of the C46 Highway which links the towns of Ongwediva and Ondangwa together. To the north of C46 Highway is extension 8 which is the industrial section of the town. To the northwest of extension 23 are the newly renamed Andimba Toivo Ya Toivo Airport and the Ruben Danger Ashipala Police Training Centre. The Oshana Veterinary Clinic which has been under construction over the last six years is directly north of extension 23. The filling station will therefore provide services to the traffic in the said destinations including the residential section of the extension. 2.3 Details of the Proposed Activity The study area consists of a site measuring 2149 m2 as shown in Figure 1. The proposed development will entail the construction of a fuel service station integrated with what have become standard facilities at modern fuel retail facilities: a convenient store a car wash ablution facilities for the patrons adequate paved parking bays banking facilities in the form of ATMs a canopied forecourt housing the fuel pumps At the time of the scoping assessment, specific details of the exact design and layout of the proposed filling station were unavailable, as the entire project is still in the concept design phase.

University Abstract The Independence Memorial Museum is the latest addition to the post-independence memorial landscape by Namibia’s ruling party, South West African People’s Organisation (or the Swapo Party). Like many other southern African liberation movements turned ruling political parties, Swapo has looked towards history to find legitimation and support in the present. This is referred to in this research as the creation of a Swapo master narrative of liberation history. It is a selective and subjective re-telling of history which ultimately works to conflate Swapo with the Nation.

    Confidential NAMIBIAN REVIEW: MARCH 2005 Confidential A BRIEF POLITICAL OVERVIEW AND CURRENT ASSESSMENT OF DIAMOND DEVELOPMENTS IN NAMIBIA 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The recent elections in Namibia saw the ruling South West African Peoples Organisation (Swapo) swept back into power with the same number of seats as the previous election in 1999. With the new presidential candidate Hifikepunye Lukas Pohamba only being inaugurated on 24 March, continuity of policy on all levels is more or less expected, given the fact that Pohamba was hand-chosen by outgoing president Sam Nujoma to replace him. Potential rivals for the Swapo presidency were dealt with in the months leading up to the elections. This included specifically Hidipo Hamutenya, once one of Swapo's favourite sons, who was unceremoniously dumped as foreign minister by Nujoma in May 2004 just days before the Swapo Congress to choose Nujoma's successor. Though defeated, Hamutenya's background and support base in amongst people _ who were part of Swapo's Peoples Uberation Army of Namibia (Plan), will ensure that he emerges once again as Pohamba's chief challenger for the position in five years time. The opposition remains weak and in general disarray with the once powerful Democratic Turnhalle Alliance (DTA) , having lost nearly half the parliamentary seats it had prior to the last elections. As far as developments on the diamond front are concerned the report makes the following broad points: • Continuity in the government's diamond policy can be expected under Pohamba. • Lev Leviev has been the driving force behind changes in Namibia's mining legislation in 1999 and further changes being contemplated for the near future.

Athens: Ohio University Press, 1998. x + 220 pp. $19.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-8214-1217-6; $39.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8214-1216-9. Reviewed by Timothy Dauth (Department of History, University of Western Australia.) Published on H-Africa (December, 1998) Liberation and Restraint "Trade unions and workers must appreciate the difficulties faced by the country; for... we are partners. Government is made up of workers, and SWAPO is a workers' party. Together, all of us must concern ourselves with the welfare of the nation."[1] Since independence in 1990 the largest trade union federation in Namibia, the National Union of Namibian Workers (NUNW), has faced a considerable crisis in direction. Having operated virtually as a wing of the liberation movement, the South West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO), in the years leading up to independence, the NUNW now faces the problem of how to relate to SWAPO as government and ruling party. The above statement by the Namibian Prime Minister, Hage Geingob, encapsulates the question facing worker organisation since independence. While SWAPO's actions in government in terms of economic and labour policy may make it hard to accept its self definition as a 'workers party', SWAPO is still seen as such by many trade unionists, workers, and indeed SWAPO activists. The political quandary facing the NUNW in the post independence years is similar to that facing any union federation under a 'friendly' government.

Fighting the Lion: Nationalist Masculinity in Sam Nujoma’s Autobiography Abstract Dr. Samuel Nujoma’s autobiography, Where Others Wavered: My Life in SWAPO and My Participation in the Liberation Struggle, documents his life as a pivotal figure in the Namibian war for independence leading to his tenure as the first president of Namibia (1990-2005). Nujoma, known as the “Founding Father” of Namibia, occupies a larger-than-life sphere within the public imagination through monuments, public photographs, placards and street names. Nujoma’s autobiography prescribes a certain type of national citizenship that details a specific construction of masculinity for Namibian men. This paper analyzes his autobiography, arguing that Nujoma constructs a hegemonic masculinity based on four key features: 1. leadership; 2. initiation to manhood; 3. the use of physical strength; 4.

    Journal of Namibian Studies, 22 (2017): 99 – 104 Statement from the dock , 1 February 1968 Andimba Toivo Ya Toivo From August 1967 to February 1968, Herman Andimba Toivo Ya Toivo was on trial by South African officials for terrorism. At the end of his trial, on 1 February 1968 he made the following statement from the dock which became “a lasting document of Namibian aspirations for freedom”. 1 On 9 February 1968 Ya Toivo was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment and sent to serve his sentence in the prison of Robben Island near Cape Town. He has been released after serving 16 years in March 1984. My Lord, We find ourselves here in a foreign country, convicted under laws made by people whom we have always considered as foreigners. We find ourselves tried by a judge who is not our countryman and who has not shared our background. When this case started, Counsel tried to show that this Court had no jurisdiction to try us. What they had to say was of a technical and legal nature. The reasons may mean little to some of us, but it is the deep feeling of all of us that we should not be tried here in Pretoria. You, my Lord, decided that you had the right to try us, because your Parliament gave you that right. That ruling has not and could not have changed our feelings. We are Namibians and not South Africans. We do not now, and will not in the future, recognise your right to govern us, to make laws for us in which we have no say; to treat our country as if it were your property and us as if you were our masters.

  • Second Edition)
    Translated for CWHIP by Gary Goldberg & Sue Onslow The White Sun of Angola by Anatoly Adamishin Moscow, 2014 (second edition) Children, don't go to Africa to walk - the warning of wise Korney Chukovsky, author of a beautiful fairy tale, often came to mind when I was writing this book. But how can one not go? Whoever who has seen the primordial, captivating beauty of African lands wants to return there again and again, to one of the most complex and dramatic crossroads of the contemporary world, to this potentially the richest continent which has vegetated in poverty for centuries. And Angola? The adventures of Captain Grant’s children, and gangly Paganel’s stories of butterflies, flowers and birds created the impression of a mythical country of our childhood. But in the 1970s and 1980s we collided with an entirely different reality: the Soviet Union found itself drawn into a serious civil war in the enormous spaces of Angola, half the size of Western Europe, which grew into an international conflict, second only to the degree of our involvement in Afghanistan. YESTERDAY CONTINUES TODAY Against the background of the escalating number of international conflicts which were mostly inter-ethnic and which included the unsuccessful attempt of the US and NATO to solve one of them by force (by this I mean the Yugoslav conflict), my thoughts return to the events which occurred 25 years ago - the successful peaceful settlement in South Western Africa. The conflict there was, I dare to say, as complicated as the Balkan one; it had a static nature, and had drawn more than a dozen countries and liberation movements directly into its orbit such as the RSA [Republic of South Africa], Angola, Cuba, the US, the USSR, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zaire, the ANC, SWAPO, and UNITA.

  • Brief Chronology of the Police Zone Border, Key Dates, and Proclamations
    APPENDIX Brief Chronology of the Police Zone Border, Key Dates, and Proclamations 1896/97, establishment of a cordon to prevent the incursion of rinderpest into central Namibia and the emergence of the concept of a colonial veterinary border. 1905, German Reichstag demands a resolution confirming that police protection in the colony will be limited to economically useful regions, marking the emergence of the concept of a European settlement border. 1907, a Police Zone boundary for the entire colony is cartographically defined for the first time with a blue line. Proclamation of three game reserves. 1916 (Martial Law Regulation No. 57), the northern section of the German Police Zone border is adopted, with minor adjustments, effectively closing the entire northern part of the colony to “Europeans.” 1919, the Prohibited Areas Proclamation (Martial Law Proclamation No. 15) confirms the closure of the Police Zone border of 1916. 1924, the northern districts are reopened for livestock export (Government Notice No. 94 of 1924), and the Police Zone border becomes a combined veterinary and settlement border. 1925, the Police Zone border is indicated on detail maps (1:500,000) with a thickly drawn redlineforthefirsttime. 1926, the entire Police Zone border is identified as the Red Line on the survey map of 1926 (1:800,000). 1928, the Prohibited Areas Proclamation (Proclamation No. 26 of 1928) provides the first precise written definition of the Police Zone border. The location of the border is determined by the farm borders on-site. 1930 (Government Notice 178 of 1930), first law on the creation of a stock-free zone (applicable to cattle and dogs) between the Police Zone and Kaoko.
