Another xenophobic law by Namibia, child of International solidarity.

The Namibian Sun reports.

The presidency says it is virtually impossible for average Namibians to acquire land and buy propety in Windhoek and several other towns. Government says it will push ahead with promulgating a law that will prevent foreign nationals from acquiring urban land in Namibia.
The presidency has also issued a stern warning to local authorities not to auction off any land, as this leads to prices sky-rocketing, culminating in the average Namibian not being able to purchase land.
The Government push follows President Hifikepunye Pohamba telling international news channel Aljazeera late last year that Namibia will face a revolution by the landless masses, if something is not done to amend the constitution so that Government is allowed to buy the land for the people.
Last year, Government availed N$320 million as part of the Targeted Intervention Programme for Employment and Economic Growth (Tipeeg) programme to address the need for serviced land.
More than 1 000 residential erven were planned for Otjomuise Extension 10 and for the western outskirts of Windhoek.
Just short of 150 jobs were to be created by this initiative. Other areas where serviced plots were to be release included the informal settlements of Okahandja Park, Havana and Ongulumbashe.
A list of questions with regard to progress of the Tipeeg project was sent to City of Windhoek, but they had not responded at the time of going to print.
Minister of Presidential Affairs, Dr Albert Kawana, who is also the country’s attorney-general, said housing and the availability of land, is a genuine problem across the country. He said the situation is most acute in Windhoek, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay and Henties Bay.
Kawana added that it is virtually impossible for average Namibians to acquire land and buy houses in these areas.
“This is why Government is prompted to say no foreigner must own urban land. That law is still coming.
“Only Namibian citizens should be allowed to own land, foreigners will only be allowed to lease.”
He lamented that most buyers who purchase land at auctions are rich developers. They develop the land and sell it to other rich people, who are mostly foreigners. Therefore, the new law will include a clause that will ensure that no municipal land is auctioned off.
Kawana said Government will increase the housing subsidies of civil servants by 100%, to ensure that State employees have a better chance of buying houses.
“This was part of our struggle that our citizens have a piece of land and a roof over their heads. If we fail to deliver in those areas, it will mean we have betrayed those who sacrificed in that struggle.”
He advised Namibians who want to enter into joint ventures with foreigners in order to get the best out of the land to do so and empower themselves economically.
Meanwhile, the Old Mutual Managing Infrastructure Development in Namibia (MIDINA) Fund last year invested N$250 million in the servicing of land at Otjomuise Extension 4 and the project is nearing completion. It was created to narrow the gap between the demand for serviced land and the economic status of those in need.
The initiative is a private/public partnership venture between the Windhoek Municipality, the MIDINA Fund and Acacia Investment. It is targeted at middle- income earners.
Although there is traditionally a perception that private investors drive purchase prices up in order to recover their costs and make a profit, Patrick Kauta of Acacia Investment maintained that their erven will be affordable to the middle-income group.
Kauta said that a total of 298 serviced residential erven, which are not less than 400 square kilometres each, will be completed by the end of February this year.
According to him, the erven will all have access to municipal services, such as tarred roads, water, electricity and sewage works.
“The price per erven has not been set yet, as we are meeting next week to determine the price.”
They will not be less than N$400 000 per erven. It is difficult to get erven that are big and serviced for that price anywhere,” said Kauta.
The land delivery issue has been a bone of contention for the past few years and has witnessed violent confrontations between residents in urban areas and local authorities.

Practice of homosexuality in Namibia, well known businessmen, politicians etc....

It's been reported in most of Namibia's major newspapers that homosexuality exists and is practiced in Namibia by very well known businessmen, politicians etc... People who behind closed doors enjoy being sodomized yet in public speak ill in hypocrisy of this practice. 

We need to keep in mind that a person may engage in homosexual sex without being homosexual, in Namibia some cults require such as a rite of passage. There is a group of homosexuals, a powerful bunch who are organized and meet often in secret. Homosexuality is engaging in same gender sexual relationship. According to a newspaper articles from the VILLAGER "Evidence and Wendelinus Hamutenya’s recorded confession shows that a number of leaders in this Namibia are practicing it (homosexuality). Some said to charter flights to go to places like Rundu with small boys, others meet at one house of a politician in Olympia. We have evidence of five-somes, involving opposition political leaders, security chiefs, members of parliament etcetera, which should leave the country’s security at its mercy.  We know of the two houses in Windhoek used as command centres for this underground activity, the other being in Klein Windhoek.
Chief Executive Officers, Financial managers, some entrusted with running deep sensitive parastatals or agencies of government are clandestinely involved."

A List of certain well known people in Namibia was published by Wendelinus Hamutenya in an attempt to force them to come out of the shadows and remove the stigma in Namibian society about who is gay. The List allegedly included: 

• M. Hamutenya, Businessman
• Alweendo, Pubic office administrator
• Kanime, Windhoek Police
• Namandje, Lawyer
• Naholo, Businessman
• Mutumbo, Business Administrator
• Kati, Businessman
• B. Haufiku, Medical Doctor
• Haddis, Businessman
• Shifeta, Public Administrator
• Namundjebo, Businessman
• A Kooper, Businessman
• Jacobs, Comedian

Many of the above listed denied being involved, some simply did not react but the young boys who are handsomely compensated for sodomizing some of the above have come out and revealed the truth often times with secret recordings both audio and video and smses. 

The Villager newspaper further reported that: 
"The hypocrisy is that the same entities who deny homosexuality are the ones practicing it, from parliament to state house. Yes, we have confessions from people that have had same-sex relationships with some of the top decision makers in this country. But it is not in the name or destroying families, it is in adjusting the hypocrisy."

Namibia has no moral authority as our Founding President has slowly faded in the background to leave room for new leadership. Namibia has seen a rise in alot of evil over the past few years; corruption is on the rise, lawyers are ending up in the dock, police officers in record number are charged with crimes, poverty is accentuated and on the rise, prostitution which used to be in a few pockets of Windhoek City streets have grown to larger presence all over the city. 


People with questionable morals are running our administration, businesses and society, people who are living a lie. 

A large number of Politicians and Business people are living with HIV yet none are coming out to help drive away the stigma of those having or living with HIV. Charlie Sheen, American Actor has recently revealed that he is HIV positive contributing to alleviate the perception that HIV positive people look a certain way. 

A list of well known HIV positive Namibian celebrities will soon be published to help them come out of the closet and help drive away the stigma of people living with HIV, for fear of attacks the list will be published anonymously. Documentary evidence of the status of these people will be kept and made available in case of law suits.  Prominent businessman known to be HIV positive keep infecting young unsuspecting girls with impunity.   

A criminal in the Namibian Police, Merien Ngouabi Namoloh faces several cases

Minister of Safety and Security Retired Major-General Charles Namoloh’s son Warrant Officer Merien Ngouabi Namoloh is facing criminal charges in court while over 5 other criminal cases are under investigation, this excludes pending civil claims against him and the Namibian Police which claims are caused by this spoiled son of the line Ministry of the Namibian Police. 

Namoloh has now established a pattern in that most cases against him are of a similar nature, mainly abuse of power, violation of human, civil and constitutional rights of both the general public and fellow police officers. Namoloh allegedly uses his father's influence and a network of political friends of his father to interfere with investigations against him. In early December 2015 a number of senior Police officer from various corners of Namibia were sent to Windhoek to investigate Namoloh since cases against him were not investigated and he has used his influence to silence cases. 

There are allegations that Namoloh aids criminals and has benefited from proceeds of crimes, the allegations come from incidents where drugs and money were seized by him and not declared to the Police at the time of booking of evidence.

Warrant Officer of the Namibian Police Merien Ngouabi Namoloh, Son of Minister of Safety and Security Major General Charles Namoloh

Known for having expensive taste for the good things in life Warrant Namoloh clearly lives above his means, Namoloh's alleged crimes and corrupt practices have so far gone unpunished and investigations aimed at Namoloh has often gone no where until the Internal Investigations Department Head acted on a number of complaints which led to serious investigations and possible arrest in the near future. Reacting to the investigations Namoloh resorted to using his connections in the media to intimidate his superior officers. In an articles published in the Windhoek Observer on the 9th of October 2015, Namoloh takes a swipe at the Head of Internal Investigations as well as the Acting Head of IID Internal Investigations Directorate. 

Namoloh has allegedly used his influence to obstruction a judicial process involving a case in which he is accused by a follow officer of abuse. Using his connections and network of corrupt police officers Namoloh succeeded in delaying the case for almost 10 years.  

According to fellow police officers who requested anonymity, Namoloh is a criminal with a badge, and has no place in the Namibian Police. Namoloh is facing a criminal case in court and over 5 other cases are under investigations with at least 2 looming civil claims against himself and the Namibian Police. 

If there is any justice in Namibia this Officer will be convicted and should be expelled from the Namibian Police force, this man faces a combined 20 years in prison for the various cases against him. Several Police officers accuse Namoloh of being verbally abusive and spend most of his time belittling officers.

NAMOLOH’S SON ALLEGES VICTIMISATION

WRITTEN BY SONJA ANGULA ON 09 OCTOBER 2015.

Minister of Safety and Security Retired Major-General Charles Namoloh’s cop son Ngouabi has accused the commander of the internal investigation department of conspiring with fraud accused Antoine Mbok to scupper his chances of getting a promotion.

Warrant Officer Ngouabi Namoloh claims that Chief Inspector Esther Nangombe instructed Cameroonian-born businessman to open a case of unlawful arrest against him to jeopardise his chances of getting a promotion.

Allegations are that Namoloh ordered junior police officers last month to arrest Mbok at the Hosea Kutako International Airport under unclear circumstances. 

Namoloh further accused Nangombe of reactivating a 2005 case in which he was charged for defeating and obstructing the course of justice.

Namoloh is alleged to have prevented a police officer from executing his duties at the Windhoek/ Okahandja roadblock on March 4 2005.  He was also accused of insulting the unidentified police officer.  

The Windhoek Observer understands that the charges stemming from the 2005 incident were later dropped in 2008 and brought back in 2011, withdrawn in 2013 and then brought back in 2014 again for reasons not known.

“The process of promotions has started and these actions by Nangombe will make it difficult for me to get a promotion,” Namoloh claimed this week.

He further accused Nangombe and another chief inspector, only identified as Beukes of “running the police force like their own company.”

“…the way they treat people here is not good. Her friends get promotion easily but some of us are targeted; it should not work like that,” Namoloh said.

Namoloh told the Windhoek Observer that Nangombe had told his colleagues in the police force that, “I will show him, he will not go anywhere while I am here.”

When contacted for comment, Nangombe said Mbok had come to her office with a written complaint claiming that Namoloh had instructed other police officers to handcuff him at the Hosea Kutako International Airport.

She said she is “tired” of Namoloh’s accusation because she has nothing against him.

“Look, Mbok came to my office with a written complaint about Namoloh that’s all. It was about him being detained at the airport after Namoloh allegedly instructed someone to handcuff him.

“I am tired of Namoloh running to the media about these types of things. I am not allowed to talk to the media but this time, I am angry. He must leave me alone because I have nothing against him.

“Now he accuses me of teaming up with Beukes, but I only went to Beukes’ office to drop a document there and we didn’t have any discussion,” she said.

Inspector-General, Lieutenant Sebastian Ndeitunga said he is surprised that Namoloh’s case is still going on after ten years.

“I know Nangombe and Namoloh very well, but I am not aware of the infighting that is going on between them.

“All I know is that Namoloh has a case that has been taking so many years that I do not understand why. I am shocked that after ten years, he is still being punished for the same thing. Was that case not dropped a longtime ago?” Ndeitunga quizzed.

This is not the first time that Namoloh has accused Nangombe of hampering his elevation in the police force. 

Last year Namoloh accused Nangombe in the media of trying to prevent him from being promoted to the position he currently holds.

He claimed at the time that Nangombe had gone around saying that, “Namolohs are already rich, why do they need promotion?”

Cop in court for obstructing course of justice

September 18th, 2015 | by New Era Staff Reporter

Windhoek

The matter in which Warrant Officer Merien Ngouabi Namoloh, 33, was due to make a plea on charges of defeating or obstructing the course of justice, in the Windhoek Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, could not proceed because two state witnesses were not present.

Namoloh is the son of the Minister of Safety and Security (Rtd) Major-General Charles Namoloh.
Court documents indicate Namoloh faces a count of obstructing police officers from executing their duties, a count of crimen injuria and five counts of defeating or obstructing the course of justice.

The incident took place on March 4 2005 when Namoloh, at the time a constable, prevented a police officer from executing his duties and insulted him at the Windhoek/Okahandja roadblock. Hence the five counts of defeating or obstructing the course of justice.

In 2008 the prosecutor general decided that Namoloh should be arraigned. Namoloh allegedly shouted that Seargent Jakobus Nowaseb should be fired from the police force and that he would report him to the inspector general as Nowaseb was allegedly demanding money from members of the public to allow them through the roadblock.

“Nowaseb was carrying out official duties; thereby humiliating Nowaseb in front of members of the public,” and thus Namoloh faces a case of crimen injuria, court documents indicated.

Namoloh was arrested on April 30 and is free on a warning. The matter will proceed on October 7.
Magistrate Ilge Rheent presided while Ivann Tjizu represented the State.

The horrendous effects of xenophobia.

This man in the picture bellow died just because he was a foreigner. Imagine fleeing persecution, war or an abusive regime and run for refuge in another country just to end up being killed in the most horrendous way. 

DURING THE STRUGGLE SOUTH AFRICANS OR NAMIBIAN WHO FOUND REFUGE IN OTHER COUNTRIES WE NEVER EXPOSED TO XENOPHOBIC VIOLENCE AS WE HAVE SEEN RECENTLY IN SOUTH AFRICA. We should say no to xenophobia in Namibia in all its forms and warn incompetent politicians from using the presence of foreigners in the country as a reason for Poverty, Lack of employment, lack of  opportunity, etc... Xenophobia is practice in Namibia at the highest  level of government and the result is a number of Xenophobic policies enacted over the past 10 year notably pushing back the Naturalization process from 2 years to 10 years under the pretext that certain foreigners resort to fake marriages to secure Namibian Citizenship. Namibia does not have a friendly policy of integration for foreigners who made Namibia their home or to Namibian citizen's foreign spouse who face hardship in securing employment (as for must jobs it's Namibians first), bank funding (very high deposits required from foreigners for purchases of cars homes), business opportunities (virtually no possibility of securing a tender), long wait for documentation from home affairs, discrimination in getting health service, police assistance, discrimination in criminal court proceedings (a foreigner it seems is guilty until proven innocent), Humiliation in the Media by local Namibian Newspaper who always make it a focal point to say one is a foreigner feeding a growing sentiment of xenophobia etc.... NAMIBIA AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THE RAINBOW NATION MUST STAND UP AND SAY NO TO XENOPHOBIA IN ALL ITS FORMS. 

Namibia should be beautiful inside out and xenophobia in Namibia is an ugly reality for foreigners who suffer the horrendous effects of Xenophobia. 

Namibian Xenophobic policy forces closure of only Satellite TV competition in Namibia

PUBLIC STATEMENT

January 22^nd 2015

(Approved for Release & Publication on May 2^nd 2015)

RE: Permanent cessation of My TV subscription services in Namibia.

The Shareholders, Board of Directors, Management and Staff of Digital Satellite Television (pty) Ltd regrettably announce the permanent cessation of MyTV pre-paid satellite television subscription services in Namibia. For the past 6 years MyTV was the only alternative to Multichoice’s DSTV and the second largest Pre-paid Satellite subscription serviced in Namibia with over 4500 subscribers from all corners of the country including 15 subscribers in Botswana and Cameroon.

• Overview

            DIGISAT is the national distributor of a digital satellite television service called My TV, an affordably priced satellite delivered pre-paid television service that is intended for the African family. Realistic pricing and a balanced choice of programs were the determining factors in selecting channels for My TV . The aim is to have something of interest for every member of the family, across the full age spectrum. The service comprises a mix of movies, sports, music, kids, news and general interest channels all of which can be received (in most places) on a standard 90cm parabolic antenna (dish). My TV channels are globally renowned leaders in family lifestyle entertainment and premiere an exciting showcase of programming and events. My TV is an encrypted (or scrambled) service that requires the following equipment to view The My TV bouquet:

A smart card   A satellite dish Strong Decoder

• Background and History

            The My TV satellite television service is owned and backed by Strong Technologies l.l.c., of Dubai, which was set up at the beginning of 1996 as part of the Strong & Co. (Far East), Ltd. group of companies, of Yokohama, Japan. The parent company was founded in 1868, the group’s activities are diverse and include manufacturing and distribution of products ranging from perfume to carbon fibre sports products, from oil supply equipment to fabrics, from motors to satellite TV receiving equipment and content.

Since 1998, Strong Technologies l.l.c. has remained a major player in the satellite TV industry in the region with over 5 million households, in the Middle East alone, equipped with a Strong branded product. In February 2009 Mbok Investments Company Limited (MINVESTCO) secured the Mastor Distributorship for My TV Service for the Namibian Territory from Strong Technologies LLC and signed an agreement for marketing and subscription management with Digital Satellite Television (pty) Ltd (DIGISAT) as the National Distributor for My TV. 

The Board of Directors denounces CRAN’s action as being; a deliberate decision by a lone Director to shield our competitor from competition, anti-competitive, xenophobic, a wrongful, counterproductive decision with tragic impact on the Namibian economy and the pre-paid satellite television sector and lastly sheer incompetence from the interim management of CRAN which came into existence several years after My TV had been in operation.

Our offices will be permanently closed from the 1^st of March 2015. My TV’s current 4675 subscriber’s contracts are cancelled with immediate effect and cancellation fee of N$ 1448 is due and payable immediately as per contract. Collection of cancellation fee from all subscribers will be enforced by legal and debt collection companies to include debt collection fees of up to 50% of cancellation fee as stated in the subscription contract.    

   

The existence of My TV in Namibia, the only competition to Multichoice in Namibia, is being denied by CRAN through a wrongful and clearly xenophobic decision denying a broadcasting license as required by the new act. CRAN’s board wrongfully decided as follows:  “DIGISAT does not comply with the provision of Section 85 of the Act, read with regulation 10 (10) of Regulation Regarding Transitional Procedure for Telecommunications and Broadcasting Service Licenses and Spectrum Use Licenses. Being that DIGISAT is owned and controlled by a Cameroonian national, In light thereof and pursuant to the provision of section 85(10) of the Act, the application for Commercial Broadcasting Services License by Digital Satellite Television (pty) Ltd is refused, effective from date of publication in the Government Gazette.”  

As a result of the above clearly xenophobic decision, over 30 Namibian direct and indirect jobs are lost, over N$10 million invested by subscribers over the years going to waste and N$10.9 million annual loss of income by DIGISAT. Despite a recent setback through an urgent high court application DIGISAT will keep pushing for judicial redress against CRAN’s wrongful decision. No opportunity was afforded to DIGISAT to meet with alleged non-compliance in terms of ownership and control, as we see for example MTN offering Namibians shares to comply with the act.   

Activation of Smart Cards can no longer be done by DIGISAT in Namibia and subscribers have to effect international payment and get activation from an entity outside Namibia. Mbok Investments Company in Cameroon or any other authorized My TV dealer outside of Namibian not falling under CRAN’s jurisdiction can activate smart cards, please consult www.mytvafrica.tv
