After the crash of an E-Med Rescue ambulance plane that killed five people near Cape Town on Sunday, the company has made arrangements with Westair Aviation to place a Hawker 400 XP Jet aircraft on standby to support E-Med Rescue’s air ambulance fleet.
According to E-Med Rescue, it will continue using the existing Cessna 425 and King Air 90 for emergency flights. The Hawker Jet will be used in case of long-haul destinations such as South Africa, Botswana and Angola due to its speed and altitude capabilities, which are essential when transporting critical ill patients.

A 24-year-old Rundu woman gave birth to four baby boys by caesarean section at the Rundu State Hospital on Friday.
The Director of the Rundu State Hospital, Dr Yuri Yagazov, said the mother and babies are in a stable condition.
“They are still admitted at the hospital. The babies are very small, between 1.2 and 14 kilograms. We cannot send them home yet, it is too risky for now,” said Yagazov. He added that a feeding program must still be established because a mother cannot breastfeed four babies.

Namibia Football Association (NFA) President Frans Mbidi say it is the association’s aim to get more of its national team players professional contracts.
Mbidi said the more foreign-based players the teams have, the better their performance.
He told Namibian Sun yesterday that for the Brave Gladiators to get two of its players signing professional contracts with the same club is a “step in the right direction”.
Zenatha Coleman and Thomalina Adams signed professional contracts with European club Gintra Universitetas in Lithuania last week.

DTA National Chairperson Jennifer van den Heever has called on party members in the Zambezi Region to aim at increasing women’s participation in politics.
At a public meeting at Sibbinda village on Sunday, Van den Heever said the regional party leadership must support women’s political participation and representation in all structures.
According to Van den Heever, women should campaign as candidates in the November local and regional elections, for council seats would give them more influence over policy decisions, women’s rights and gender equality.

Borussia Dortmund scored four second-half goals to overcome newcomer Ingolstadt in a one-sided affair and Mainz edged Monchengladbach 2-1 to close the second round of the German Bundesliga on Sunday.
Wasteful Dortmund overpowered resilient Ingolstadt, who were unable to hold the pace with the ‘BVB’ in the second half. Thus, Thomas Tuchel’s men wrapped up their second win in as many games to climb to the top of the Bundesliga standings.

Wayde van Niekerk ran the fastest 400 metres since 2007 to become the first South African to win a world championship sprint title on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old went hard from the start and held off reigning champion La Shawn Merritt of the United States down the home straight to claim the title in 43.48 seconds.
A personal best of 43.65 was worth no better than silver for Merritt, who stayed on the South African’s shoulder around the final bend but could not find enough gas in the last 50 metres to overhaul him.
