Time will prove and history will confirm Cuban and Fidel Castro as true believers in social justice and freedom and for that even their worst enemies must have a grudging respect. Like Mark Anthony at the funeral of Caesar who was assassinated as a dic- tator, but proven to be one of the greatest leaders of history, Namibians can say “We are not here to praise El Comandante , but we are here to bury him. And yes, Namibia is proud to give hope and inspiration to the Cuban peo- ple by presenting the product of our democracy with our three presidents, all elected by a majority of voters and all three revered by the largest part of all the communities of the country. By demonstrating peace and stability through the Nujoma/Pohamba and Geingob presence in the darkest Cuban hour, the Cuban people and the rest of the world can be comforted by the Namibian example that unity, peace and stability are possible. That is the legacy of El Comandante!

The minister said fishing companies must be in- novative and grow their businesses by venturing into various indus- tries. This, he said, does not only create more jobs but also secures employment. Amstay managing director Antonio Mansinho said that by establishing the land-based pro- cessing plant, the company aims to enter the international market, create jobs and get more quotas. “We have been processing offshore but it was in small quantities.

Shimbulu said that the council mem- bers agreed upon Angelus Iiyambo to succeed her. “I was just told in a letter read to me by Gabriel Kamwanka on 22 November this year, telling me that I would be replaced by Iiyambo. However they haven’t told me as to why I was to be replaced,” said Shimbulu. Shimbulu who is currently president of the Association for Local Authorities in Namibia, said she is happy with the position of an ordinary member in the Town Council and it’s not her first time being an ordinary member of the council. “I was elected by the people to serve them and that is all that matters,” she said. Furthermore, Shimbulu said that she is ready to hand over everything tomorrow during the re-election and swearing in of the Oshakati Town Council office bearers, despite her replacement being the only change that will be happening.Junior Council donates TENDER INVITATIONto needy Bakkie Bonanza Tender Number: NW/033/2017/O Single Cab Bakkies Supply & delivery of electromagnetic flow meters for various water supply projects.Maria David The Ongwediva Junior Council mem- Tender Closing Date Tuesday, 6 December 2016 @ 11:00bers have donated school uniforms to 30vulnerable children from Omusheshe, 2013 Nissan NP300 Enquiries Mrs. A.

Photo contributed. mer Live Music Cocktail’ at the Ware- house Theatre on Friday, 2 December, alongside other local artists. He may be 50 but once the Reggae maestro takes the stage, he proves to his fans that he still has it. His music praises love and unworldliness, peace and unity and he is known for his righ- teous lyrics and positive attitude. He hails from a background that resonates with knowledge he garnered over many years of walking the road less travelled, and his dedication to music and developing his natural talent is an integral part of his being. He came up with the initiative of the ‘Sum- mer Live Music Cocktail’ show, with the reason behind it to pull different crowds together and create opportunities for artists that do not gen- erally perform with a live band. Towards the end of last year Ras, released his CD ‘Step Up, which won an award at the NAMAs awards this year. He will take the stage for up to two hours, performing a mixture of his old hits like Cassinga, City Young Girl, Push and Pull, and Traveling, as well as songs from his latest album. Other artists that will grace the stage are Tequilla, Seppy Slam, Etondo, Hilz and Dj France. Tequila is Namibia’s most popular songstress performing music which is a mixture of Afro-Pop, R&B and House. Seppy Slam rocks a mixture of Shambo, Highlife and African Dancehall. Afro-Pop Etondo will show his fans his pas- sion for live performances. His music has a strong dance flavour based on Shambo and other African cultures. Etondo will perform songs from his upcoming album ‘Eteta Wangu’. Hilz is a young upcoming female artist from Ongwediwa. She recently released her first album called ‘Ondabo yamona mwene’. France- based DJ Slow will entertain the crowd bringing to the table a vast experience garnered by Dj- ing in several European countries over the past 15 years. The music cocktail is thus a mix of a diverse group of artists and genres, from Afro-Pop to Afro-Dance to R&B , Afro-Reggae to Shambo to African Dancehall and House, that promises to be an eclectic smorgasbord that will appeal to both young and old.‘The Walls of Jericho’ reconstructed Final ‘Night Under The Stars’ Gabby TjirozeHAPPENING: Jericho’s new album sleeve.

Kamanya’s Salute’s boxing licence was suspended by the previous chairperson of the NPBWBC, Kelly Nghixulifwa, on 26 July 2016, fol- lowing reports that its boxing bonanza hosted in Walvis Bay in June turned nasty. To make matter worse, the trou- bled NPBCB is currently without its chief administrator Joel Kaperu, who was suspended this month for alleged insubordination, while Eckard Modisa is acting in the capacity. “The fight will go ahead as scheduled.
