................................................................................................................ 183 INTRODUCTION The 2016/2017 budget was launched under the theme “Towards Pro-Growth Fiscal Consolidation” and directed at addressing global economic challenges that posed a threat to domestic economic growth and weakened revenue performance and other key fiscal indicators. In 2016, real GDP grew by 1.1 per cent compared to 6.0 per cent in 2015. Revenue performance remained vulnerable to external shocks, largely caused by SACU receipts which accounted for 28 per cent of Government revenue in FY2016/2017. The budget was characterized by fiscal consolidation and adjustments to expenditure profiles to address national priorities. Fiscal Consolidation was needed to realign public expenditure with available revenue in order to reduce the budget deficit and stabilize the accumulation of debt stock. In the FY2016/2017 Mid-Year Budget Review, budgeted expenditure was revised downwards by N$4.5 billion from N$65.9 billion to N$61.5 billion. Revenue forecasts were reduced by N$ 6.3 billion from N$57.8 billion to N$51.5 billion. Despite tough economic times, FY2016/2017 budget focused on: Poverty reduction and improvement of social welfare; Developing a performance and results based work culture to ensure accelerated service delivery, accountability and value for money; Enhancing prosperity and wealth creation; and, Implementation of an inclusive growth agenda where “no Namibian will be left out”. FY2016/2017 budget allocations as well as reforms and the fiscal policy measures taken have achieved the expected results. “This theme and fiscal policy stance are necessary for the future sustainability of positive development outcomes. And it requires that we innovate, improve returns on our investments and implement policy reforms to optimize outcomes that will lead to timely, reliable and affordable quality service delivery to the nation.” - Calle Schlettwein ii OVERVIEW OF THE BUDGET OUTTURN 2016/2017 1. Revenue outturn 2016/2017 FY2016/2017 revenue outturn was N$50.8 billion, 99 per cent of the revised target of N$51.5 billion. The shortfall was attributable to weaker than expected domestic economic growth in the mining, constructions and wholesale retail trade sectors. SACU revenues dropped by N$3.3 billion from N$17.3 billion in 2015/16 to N$ 14.0 billion in 2016/2017 due to the economic situation in the Republic of South Africa.

  • 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.

In this report, I will present the following aspects crosscutting all sectors: Effective governance through improved community-based planning, tourism, agriculture, education, health, safety and security, gender and housing In order to promote Effective governance through Community Based Planning I held a meeting in May 2020, with the Constituency Councillors and the Local Authorities, to review annual budgets and development plans. A key outcome was that we need to pro-actively set long term development targets. 2 Similarly, external resource mobilisation, Public-Private-Partnership and revenue collection should be enhanced in good faith to improve livelihood of our fellow citizens. It was also emphasised that the needs and opportunities identified at local authority and constituency level, must inform the overall strategic plan of the Hardap Regional Council, in order to ensure bottom-up participatory planning.

The discovery of Dama- ran carbonate- and skarn-hosted gold mineralisation in the Karibib District in the 1980s came as a major surprise and the Navachab Gold Mine (10.4 million tonnes at ~2.4 g/t Au; annual production of approximately 1800 kg of gold) was opened in 1989. Further exploration in central Namibia has subsequently revealed that the underlying mid-Proterozoic basement, Damaran mafic volcanic rocks and turbidite sequences are also prospective for gold. This paper presents a geological and geochemical data base that has been compiled for gold occurrences in the Northern and Central Zones of the Damara Orogen with particular reference to mineralisation in the Usakos-Karibib-Omaruru area. Introduction The geology of central Namibia with reference to gold mineralisation Interest in the gold potential of central Namibia was stimulated by a worldwide upsurge in gold exploration Central Namibia is essentially underlain by the inland, in the mid-1980s (Foster, 1993) and the discovery of NE-trending, ensialic branch of the well-documented Pan-African (late Proterozoic/early Palaeozoic) carbon- late Proterozoic/early Palaeozoic, Pan-African Damara ate and skarn-hosted gold mineralisation on the farm Orogen (Fig.
