Zimbabwe Students Drowns in a Swimming Pool outside Okahandja

Unam student drowns in swimming pool outside Okahandja

01 Feb 2015 13:30pm

OTJIWARONGO, 01 FEB (NAMPA) ? A 23-year-old student at the University of Namibia (Unam)?s main campus drowned in a swimming pool at a lodge outside Okahandja in the Otjozondjupa Region on Saturday.

The spokesperson of the Namibian Police Force (NamPol) in the Otjozondjupa Region, Warrant Officer Maureen Mbeha identified the deceased as Yadira Tinarwo, a Zimbabwean national.

?Her next of kin are already informed of of death,? Mbeha said.

She said Tinarwo was a third-year tourism student at Unam in the capital.

Mbeha said that Tinarwo and other Zimbabweans had gone out for a birthday party from Windhoek to Midgard Lodge, situated approximately 60 kilometres south-east of Okahandja on Friday.

According to the police?s preliminary investigations, it is alleged that Tinarwo had jumped into the swimming pool on her-own, and drowned shortly before 02h00 on Saturday morning.

Mbeha said Tinarwo and her friends also - from Unam - who were present at the party were allegedly warned by a security guard at the lodge not to swim.

In a separate incident, a 24-year-old Rudiano Ndasheyashange Nekongo allegedly committed suicide near Tsaraxa-Aibes Combined School in Otjiwarongo on Friday afternoon by hanging himself.

His close relatives are informed, stated Mbeha in an interview with Nampa on Sunday.

Nekongo was a self-employed entrepreneur at Otjiwarongo, said the police officer.

Mbeha said Nekongo was found hanging on a tree by a passerby that Friday at midday.

She said the police?s preliminary investigations indicate that Nekongo repeatedly complained to his family members in Otjiwarongo about a murder he allegedly committed in 2013 at Oshivelo in the Oshikoto Region.

His last court appearance in connection with the alleged murder case against him was in December 2014.

He was out on bail of N.dollars 2 000.

Nekongo was expected to re-appear in the Tsumeb Magistrate?s Court on 31 March 2015 for plea-and-trial, noted Mbeha.

Nekongo did not leave any suicide note behind, and no foul play is suspected.

Police investigations in all two matters continue.

BaShupi Back from Namibia Tour

PEACE Ndlovu, known in music circles as Ba Shupi, performed at Song Night, a popular Namibian show last week in Windhoek.

BY TATIRA ZWINOIRA

Ba Shupi left the country on June 21, performed at Song Night on June 24 and arrived back home on Friday last week.

“My wife Wadzanai was in Namibia on a tour and she had a meeting with Lize Elhers (founder of Song Night), a celebrated Namibian singer/songwriter who extended an invite for me to be the headline act for the event,” Ba Shupi said

“It was truly humbling as this was the first time Song Night has ever had an international artiste perform. The media coverage was good and in turn we had a full house off all nationalities.”

Some of the tracks that Ba Shupi performed include the singles Twunonaka, Godo, Ma1 and My 15.

Song Night started in April 2011 and has been running ever since. Singers get to audition on the first Wednesday of each month and perform on the last Wednesday at one of the hottest venues in the capital of Namibia called Warehouse Theatre.

Song Night also features professional entertainers and is aimed at developing artistes through free training.

It is sponsored by the FNB Foundation through RMB, HEC Productions cc, Melisa Poulton, DB Audio, 99 FM and Theatre School.

“Ba Shupi is a fiery performer and his songs are currently going great in Zimbabwe and across the world, so it just felt right.
He transformed the stage! His management contacted me and the rest was history,” Ehlers said.

“We visited our main radio sponsor 99 FM and one of Namibia’s top radio DJs Che The Goddess Interviewed him. He also visited my studios and rehearsal space and loved it.

“I do it with pleasure and passion because I see the change it is bringing, not only into individual lives, but into the industry.”

Ba Shupi said that he was currently working on company jingles which have been playing on the airwaves, recording new songs and collaborations, making music videos, writing a play — as he is also into theatre — mentoring young talent and trying to go around the world.

Chicken inn and Pizza Inn Opens in Namibia

Vivo, Innscor open Namibian quick service restaurant

Submitted by NambianSun203 on Fri, 2015-06-12 01:00 https://www.namibiansun.com/business/vivo-innscor-open-namibian-quick-service-restaurant.79927

Vivo Energy - the company that distributes and markets Shell-branded fuels and lubricants across Africa – this week opened its first quick service restaurants in Namibia at the Shell Service Station in the Northern Industrial Area.
The service station, known as the Nabta Service Station, is situated in Dr Michael de Kock Street
Vivo and Innscor recently announced the extension of the existing partnership to add quick service restaurants at a number of its service stations in Namibia and Botswana.
Already in a relationship in Kenya and Ghana, the initiative sees Vivo Energy becoming the master franchisee for Innscor’s quick service restaurants in Namibia and Botswana - improving the convenience retail offer for Shell customers.
David Mockford, who is the Head of Convenience Retail for Vivo Energy, said: “We understand that our customers are looking for more than just a fill-up when they drive onto our forecourts and that, ultimately, it’s not just about the quality fuels and lubricants we sell to our customers, but about delivering a complete service station experience.”
“Across our network we are looking to upgrade our service stations to a modern format and that’s why this partnership with Innscor - with its well-known and high quality quick service restaurant brands - is so important to us.”
The partnership sees Vivo Energy add quick service restaurants - including Chicken Inn, Pizza Inn, Creamy Inn and Galito’s Flame Grilled Chicken to a number of the Shell service stations in Namibia and Botswana.
Another quick service restaurant will open in Namibia in the coming weeks, with a further eight in Namibia and six in Botswana planned for later this year.
Basil Dionisio, who is Executive Director of Innscor International Franchising LTD added: “We are delighted that Vivo Energy has become the master franchisee for our quick service restaurant brands in Namibia and Botswana, allowing them to operate these brands at Shell service station sites. It is clear that this will benefit customers, giving them more convenience, quality and choice. We already have a great relationship with Vivo Energy and are looking forward to seeing this grow over the coming months.”
Managing Director of Vivo Energy Namibia, Johan Grobbelaar reaffirmed Vivo Energy Namibia’s commitment to its customers: “We currently have 45 Shell service stations in Namibia and are committed to bringing high-quality fuels and lubricants and an exceptional retail experience to our customers. 11 of our service stations currently offer shopping convenience with Shell Select stores and I am excited to be bringing quick service restaurants to most of these.”
