Building works, i.e. the expansion and renovation of the Terminal 2 Check-In Area, Departure and Arrival Halls, and Retail Areas and the relocation and construction of Storage Facilities, will be done in five phases. It is foreseen that the building works will be completed within 12 months; the various phases can and will run concurrently to facilitate the fast track nature of the Project. During peak times of the construction phase, there will be between 400 and 600 people on site. Two thirds of the staff will be sub-contractors/temporary staff; 10 to 15% of the work force will be female. Some 50% of the staff (~250 people) will be housed in a construction worker camp on NAC grounds for the duration of the construction phase. As part of the Environmental Assessment process, physical, biophysical and socio-economic baselines were compiled. It should be noted that the building works, apart from the construction of the Storage Facilities, will take place in already built-up areas. Also, the construction worker camp is located in an area previously disturbed. An overview of the most pertinent legislation pertaining to the construction phase of the Project is provided. A Public Consultation Programme was also conducted. Only three persons registered as Interested and/or Affected Parties (I&APs) and no issues or concerns related to the Project have been raised. The Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix Software Package was used for the assessment of the potential impacts. Scoring takes place within a matrix, the latter that was designed to allow subjective judgements to be quantitatively recorded. The system thus provides an impact evaluation, as well as a record that can be re- assessed in the future (e.g. should more information become available). The building works to alleviate congestion at HKIA, and including the operational construction worker camp, will have potential impacts on the environment and these will be of a positive, as well as a negative nature: the major negative, significant negative, negative, and slight negative impacts can be relatively easily mitigated through the implementation of certain management measures. It is the opinion of LM Environmental Consulting that the Project, and apart from being in National interest, is feasible, given that: i) the use of semi-purified water (for the building works and dust suppression) is optimised; ii) the Namibia Airports Company (NAC) does not allow informal settlers on NAC-grounds, especially in the vicinity of the Puma Energy Millennium Service Station and the construction worker camp; and iii) Nexus Building Contractors (Pty) Ltd strictly enforces their construction worker camp rules. It is advised that Nexus Building Contractors (Pty) Ltd (and their employees and sub-contractors) should implement and observe the Environmental Management Plan on an ongoing basis. Environmental performance should be regularly monitored (so that the lessons learnt can be incorporated into the improvement of the Environmental Management Plan over time) and corrective measures taken as or when required. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 Introduction .......................................................................................................................................... 10 1.1 Background ................................................................................................................................. 10 1.2 Activities Requiring Environmental Clearance ............................................................................ 11 1.3 Terms of Reference .................................................................................................................... 11 1.4 Environmental Assessment Practitioner and Specialist Team ................................................... 11 2 Description of the Project ................................................................................................................... 13 2.1 Project Location .......................................................................................................................... 13 2.2 Land Use ..................................................................................................................................... 13 2.3 Access ......................................................................................................................................... 13 2.4 Project Rationale ......................................................................................................................... 13 2.5 Project Activities .......................................................................................................................... 14 2.5.1 Terminal 2 ....................................................................................................................... 14 2.5.2 Terminal 1 ....................................................................................................................... 18 2.5.3 Contractor’s Site Camp ................................................................................................... 19 2.5.4 Construction Worker Camp ............................................................................................. 19 2.5.5 Engineering Services ...................................................................................................... 21 2.5.6 Solid Waste Management ............................................................................................... 21 2.5.7 Raw Materials ................................................................................................................. 22 2.6 Alternatives .................................................................................................................................. 22 3 Natural Environment ........................................................................................................................... 23 3.1 Physical Environment .................................................................................................................. 23 3.1.1 Regional Setting .............................................................................................................. 23 3.1.2 Climate ............................................................................................................................ 23 3.1.3 Archaeology .................................................................................................................... 24 3.1.4 Geology, Hydrology and Hydrogeology .......................................................................... 24

Multi-Scalar Governance Following a 25-year war, Namibia gained independence from South Africa in 1990 under the rule of the South West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO). Since then, SWAPO has held the presidency, prime minister’s office, the national assembly, and most local and regional councils by a large majority. While opposition parties are active (there are over ten groups), they remain weak and fragmented, with most significant political differences negotiated within SWAPO. The constitution and other legislation dating to the early 1990s emphasize the role of regional and local councils – and since 1998, the government has been engaged in efforts to support decentralization of power.1 However, all levels are connected by SWAPO (through common membership), so power remains effectively centralized.

    11111 Media Monitoring on Urban Development in Namibia Media Monitoring on Urban Development in Namibia is a service provided by Development Workshop Namibia (DWN), a 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.

  • Revisiting the Windhoek Old Location
    Revisiting the Windhoek Old Location Henning Melber1 Abstract The Windhoek Old Location refers to what had been the South West African capital’s Main Lo- cation for the majority of black and so-called Colored people from the early 20th century until 1960. Their forced removal to the newly established township Katutura, initiated during the late 1950s, provoked resistance, popular demonstrations and escalated into violent clashes between the residents and the police. These resulted in the killing and wounding of many people on 10 December 1959. The Old Location since became a synonym for African unity in the face of the divisions imposed by apartheid. Based on hitherto unpublished archival documents, this article contributes to a not yet exist- ing social history of the Old Location during the 1950s. It reconstructs aspects of the daily life among the residents in at that time the biggest urban settlement among the colonized majority in South West Africa. It revisits and portraits a community, which among former residents evokes positive memories compared with the imposed new life in Katutura and thereby also contributed to a post-colonial heroic narrative, which integrates the resistance in the Old Location into the patriotic history of the anti-colonial liberation movement in government since Independence. O Lord, help us who roam about. Help us who have been placed in Africa and have no dwelling place of our own. Give us back a dwelling place.2 The Old Location was the Main Location for most of the so-called non-white residents of Wind- hoek from the early 20th century until 1960, while a much smaller location also existed until 1961 in Klein Windhoek.

GENERA1 S/87%' 6 August 1968 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH LETTER DATED 5 AUGTJST 1968 FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED NATIONS COUNCIL FOR NAMIBIA ADDRESSED TO 'THE PRESIDENT OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL I have the honour to bring to your attention a message received by the Secretary-General from Mr, Clemens Kapuuo of Windhoek, Namibia, on 24 July lsi'48, stating that non-white Namibians were being forcibly removed from their homes in Windhoek to the new segregated area of Katutura, and requesting the Secretary- General to convene a meeting of the Security Council to consider the matter. According to the message, the deadline for their removal is 31 August 1968, after which date they would not be allowed to continue to live in their present areas of residence. On the same date the Secretary-General transmitted the message in a letter to the United Nations Council for Namibia as he felt that the Council might wish to give the matter urgent attention. A copy of the letter is attached herewith (annex I). The Council considered the matter at its 34th and 35th meetings, held on 25 July 1968 and 5 August 1968 respectively. According to information available to the Council (annex II), the question of the removal of non-whites from their homes in Windhoek to the segregated area 0-P IChtutura first arose in 1959 and was the subject of General Assembly resolution 1567 (XV) of 18 December 1960. At the aforementioned meetings, the Council concluded that the recent actions of the South African Government constitute further evidence of South Africa's continuing defiance of the authority of the United Nations and a further violation of General Assembly resolutions 2145 (XXI), 2248 (S-V), 2325 (XXII) and 2372 (XXII).

Find more at: http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals/ Available through a partnership with Scroll down to read the article. Pula: Botswana Journal of African Studies, vol. 13, nos. 1 & 2 (1999) The politics of separation: the case of the OvaHerero of Ngamiland George Uaisana Manase A number of OvaHerero, fleeing the German war of extermination in 1904, crossed from German South West Africa (Namibia) into the Bechuianaland Protectorate and settled in Ngamiland. These OvaHerero came under Tawana overlordship, but retained their cultural identity and even a large degree of their political structures. Initially destitute and unfamiliar with Bechuanaland conditions, they became richer over time. Although proposals for a return to Namibia, including one involved with Tshekedi Khama's campaign against the incorporation of South West Africa into South Africa, were not realized, the desire to return remained. Politically the Ngamiland OvaHerero were associated with SWANU more than SWAPo. In spite of the distance separating the Ovaherero of Ngamiland and those in Namibia,l there has been a continued desire on the side ofthe Ngamiland Ovaherero to go back to Namibia. The strength of this desire has varied through time due to political and economic pull and push forces. From the Namibian side, the fundamental issue has been the political relations between the various Namibian Administrations and the Ovaherero of Namibia. As long as Namibian Hereros remained on bad terms with the various colonial administrations, the Ovaherero of Ngamiland could not be welcomed in the land of their birth.
