The third quarter of 2020 continued to be busy for FAO Namibia with much effort being invested in, inter alia, Happy reading! mitigating the effects of the drought that persists in western and southern parts of Namibia.

Thereafter the spraying began, with the team covering nearly 3 to 5 hectares, and the entire process lasting not more than 10 minutes. The pesticide used by the spraying team was clearly effective as the locusts began to die shortly after a few minutes. Although it is a costly and time consuming exercise, Dorthea Shiimi, an Agricultural Extension Officer based in Kongola in the Zambezi region, believes that the careful FAO/Phillipus Tobias FAO/Phillipus © and sparing use of the environmentally friendly pesticide is the best option to defeat the locusts.

    25.1.2021 Aba-Huab, Twyvelfontein Of course we do a game drive first thing in the morning, hoping to see more of the elusive desert elephants. Soon we come across fresh elephant footprints and screen the surroundings attentively. The still low sun on the horizon is blinding us a bit, but we are not being disappointed. Soon one of us is shouting: “Eeeelephant”! 1 Incredible, to be so close to these wild animals. Elephants always move silently, hardly making any noise when walking through the bush. One cannot hear their steps only the breaking of a branch when they feed. The newest branches on the very top of the tree are of course the tastiest. Big trees are growing in the dry river bed, it almost looks like being in a park. However, the more westward we move the less elephant tracks we can see. On more oryx is our last wildlife before we drive out of the riverbed in De Riet. 2 In De Riet we are asked to register in a big book. The lady at the reception informs us quite pushy, that they live from tourists and would take everything, food, clothes and money…. After registration we look for the track leading us back into the riverbed. A reasonably used track turns in the right direction and we follow it. With a bit of searching for the right direction we get back into the Aba Huab. From here we follow the riverbed until we reach Twyvelfontein. The region around Twyfelfontein is renowned for its prehistoric rock paintings and many engravings.

    STATEMENT BY THE CHAIRPERSON OF ERONGO REGIONAL COUNCIL, HONOURABLE JUUSO KAMBUESHE ON THE OCCASION OF THE ORDINARY REGIONAL COUNCIL MEETING HELD AT ERONGO REGIONAL COUNCIL ON 06TH NOVEMBER 2020 Honourable Governor Honourable Councillors Chief Regional Officer Directors Staff Members Present Members of the Community Members of the Media Ladies and Gentlemen 1. It is with great honour and privilege to address this August House and to welcome all Honourable Members and each and everyone present today in this Chamber. 2. You will indeed agree with me that we had quite an intense year. The Namibian nation has gone through unprecedented global crisis due to COVID-19 pandemic, and unfortunately Erongo Region was hardest hit economically, socially and emotionally. Families were discouraged, dishearten and left destitute. As humanly acceptable, 1 we all fear for the unknown, and as the result family bonds were experiencing challenges and this has greatly contributed to the negative impact on the operations on business and family lives. May we stand to honour those who have lost their lives during this pandemic. May we also honour departed colleagues. With God’s wisdom, guidance and protection we stand before His cross to give thanks to Him for granting us opportunity to work with our colleagues and to know them. May their souls Rest in Eternal Peace. Although, we in Erongo Regional Council faced huge challenges both administratively and on developmental agenda, we have lived up to our mandate of creating conducive environment for the Erongo Region inhabitants. I would therefore, congratulate each and everyone in this August House for his/her leadership.

INTRODUCTION The global and regional economic environment has continued to deteriorate since the beginning of 2015, characterized by low commodity prices, weak global demand and volatile exchange rates which presented challenges to the Government of the Republic of Namibia. Our national growth rate will be low and moderate as the headwinds of global demands and prices for our key commodities like Uranium which had been severely affected will have a serious impact. On the port and logistic side, our country had been negatively affected by the down-turn in global economy and the decrease in the envisaged level of export and import volume from mainly our land lock neighbors. Currently, our country is recovering well from the serious drought of the last three years.

After Reuters/BBG ATM.L / ATM LN commissioning and streamlining the tin circuit, AfriTin will turn attention to its Index FTSE AIM tantalum by-product and a feasibility study into an expansion of production – Sector Mining potentially up to 5kt/yr of tin concentrate, making it a tin producer of global Market Cap £20m significance. A robust medium-term outlook for tin and the potential to produce Shares in Issue 644.2m multiple by-products (lithium, muscovite mica, beryl etc) through an enlarged plant NAV 2.3p (or series of plants) at Uis are the prizes for investors. We see fair value at 7.0p, with upside in the tin price, by-product production and options on expansion going forward. Performance All-Share Sector An investment in AfriTin provides investors with: 1 month: -3.2% -2.5% 3 months: -2.5% -7.7% A scalable project undergoing commissioning.
