Swartbooi loses NA seat

≪ Previous: Grootfontein Swapo matter not urgent

Swartbooi loses NA seatSwift action seen as unfair Swapo says it cannot have someone making controversial statements while representing the party in parliament.

The Swapo Party politburo on Monday evening decided to withdraw Bernadus Swartbooi as member of parliament after the young firebrand made controversial comments about the ruling party at a dinner of the Landless People's Movement (LPM) in Keetmanshoop over the weekend.

Swartbooi was not expelled from the party, but it is expected that he will announce his resignation from Swapo today.

Swapo secretary-general Nangolo Mbumba said Swartbooi was withdrawn from parliament after he had reportedly remarked: “I am 99.9% not Swapo. The moment they withdraw me from the National Assembly or parliament, in 30 seconds I will resign from Swapo.”

Swartbooi yesterday would not comment on these developments but emphasised that he had said he was “99.9% not OPO trading as Swapo”. OPO was the former Ovamboland People's Organisation, the precursor of Swapo.

“We are not quarrelling with anybody who is demanding that our land issue should be dealt with,” said Mbumba. “But you cannot be a member of Swapo in the National Assembly making these types of statements.”

Mbumba said while Swartbooi was free to express his opinions on things, he could not “just say anything while he is representing the party in the National Assembly making laws and yet in his own words he is not even Swapo”.

Asked whether Swapo was concerned about losing support because of the ousting of Swartbooi, Mbumba said: “It is not the first time someone decides to leave the party with his family and supporters. We'll see. They, like us, will have to explain ourselves to the voters. We are one family. We do not want family breaking windows.”

The fallout with Swartbooi and others in the LPM is making ripples within the party.

A member of the party's politburo and central committee, Kazenambo Kazenambo, described Swartbooi's withdrawal from parliament as a leadership crisis in the party.

Kazenambo said it was indicative of an autocratic leadership where voicing divergent opinions was not allowed.

“Swartbooi is raising pertinent issues and he got fired [as deputy minister of land reform] for nothing. This is a man prepared to sacrifice for the values of Swapo and I am ready to go down with him. I am more than prepared to go down with him,” Kazenambo said.

Next in line

Mbumba did not say who would replace Swartbooi in parliament but did mention that the person next on the party list is “next in line”.

The next person on the party list is Paula Kooper after Gothard Kasuto replaced Asser Kapere and Karina Hanse-Himarwa and Jerry Ekandjo were presidential appointees.

Mbumba said he would first have to announce the name to the Speaker of the National Assembly, Peter Katjavivi.

INTERNAL PROCESSES QUESTIONED

The swiftness with which Swartbooi was kicked out of parliament has led many to question why the party is not taking similar steps against Omaheke governor Festus Ueitele and Omusati governor Erginus Endjala, who were asked to apologise after making unsavoury and tribal remarks about others.

Mbumba said at the time of this week's politburo meeting the party was unaware of Endjala's remarks. He added, however, that there would be consequences for erring party members.

“There are times when people say things immediately and sincerely apologise, but certain attitudes are fundamental to our character; that we do not go around and say bad things about other people. Some are brave enough to say it and say it openly. Eventually everything is out in the open and the consequences one way or the other, whether through elections or decisions taken by party structures, will come,” said Mbumba.

No disciplinary process preceded Swartbooi's recall from parliament.

“Whatever Chief [Vekuii] Rukoro has said or done, he was not representing us in a place that makes laws,” Mbumba said about Rukoro's accepted apology for remarking that the Swapo-led government was an “Oshiwambo government”.

Fishing blues for anglers

Fishing blues for anglers

Recreational and commercial anglers at the coast are facing serious hurdles after a sudden announcement by the fisheries ministry of steep price hikes of up to 10 000% for permits and levies on landed fish.

Many say that the impact of the price hikes could be far-reaching, forcing some fishing companies to relocate and crushing tourism at the coast.

For recreational fishing, including sports angling, the ministry has implemented a more than 10 000% price hike. The monthly angling permit now costs N$1 500 instead of N$14.

A concerned Namibian who declined to be named, but who has reached out to the ministry for clarification on the issue, said the sharp price hikes could likely “kill all recreational fishing on our coast and severely impact on coastal tourism, both domestic and international. It also discriminates against all but the wealthiest people in Namibia.”

Amateur anglers have expressed concern about how the new fees will affect popular angling competitions at the coast and a letter asking anglers to “keep a cool and calm head in this darkest hour of our fishing industry” told members of the Namibian Rock and Surf Angling Association (NRSAA) that all avenues are being pursued to resolve the issue and settle the fears of the sector.

In addition to the levy, anglers will also have to pay levies per kilogramme of fish landed, depending on the type of fish. All landed fish must be inspected and certified by a ministry official.

Critics of the new levies and regulations argue that the additional bureaucracy of getting all caught fish certified by someone appointed by the ministry, plus the monthly fees and the additional landing fees, could effectively” destroy recreational fishing at the coast.

More bad news

Small and medium commercial fishing operations will also be hit hard if the new levies per ton of fish landed and levies on quotas remain in place.

According to sources some fishing companies “are already struggling to make ends meet … and now have to pay a massive levy increase and that, together with other fees” could force these companies to relocate, or take other measures, affecting local economies.

A source in the fishing industry told Namibian Sun this week that the latest government levies will cripple the horse mackerel industry, which faces increases between 500% and 2 900% for levies per ton of fish landed and levies on quotas.

The source said the fees are “simply unaffordable” and the industry is discussing the way forward.

The ministry this week confirmed that subsistence fishermen would not be affected by the new levies.

Ministry spokesperson De Wet Siluka yesterday said: “Government has taken into consideration those who are not able to afford … and we are going to register them for that matter. In the past anyone could claim to be subsistence fishermen but we have considered registering them so that they can be differentiated from those fishing for recreational purposes.”

Siluka added that the process of adjusting the levies was undertaken in terms of section 44(3) of the Marine Resources Act in consultation with the Marine Resources Advisory Council and the approval of the minister of finance for the benefit of the Marine Resources Fund.

The fund is used to defray expenses for research, development, training and education relating to marine resources.

Cancel the fishing trip

Many people have bombarded the ministry with requests for clarification and possible amendments to the fees.

They asked why the public and members of the fishing industry, professional and amateur, were not consulted or involved in the process.

The increase in fishing permits will affect businesses at the coast, such as shops selling fishing tackle and tourism hot-spots, including Terrace Bay and Torra Bay, popular angling spots run by Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR).

“NWR has taken note of the latest developments. It is for this that we look forward to engaging with the ministry to see if an amicable solution can be found,” Mufaro Nesongano, spokesperson for NWR, told Namibian Sun yesterday.

Many have suggested that instead of imposing a single option of a N$1 500 monthly fee, the ministry should consider introducing daily permits or at least reducing the high monthly fee and the extra costs for landed fish.

For every fish that is caught, an amount of N$30 per kilogramme for steenbras, kob and blacktail, and N$45 per kilogramme for galjoen, must be paid to the ministry seven days before the end of the month in which the fish was landed.

Ministry spokesperson Siluka said the new regulations would help “strengthen our coastal patrol, in a way that we will be able to cover the S&T as well as overtime cost to our inspectors”, insisting that the ministry was equipped to ensure that enough officers were at hand to ensure compliance with the new rules.

Siluka yesterday added that while there has been much protest around the new fees, the previous N$14 monthly permit translated to “46 cent a day for a person catching a minimum of ten galjoen or kabeljou, which was way too little compared to neighbouring South Africa.”

He said the N $1 500 levy translates to N$50 per day.

ACC arrests former NSC employees

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has arrested two former employees of the Namibia Sports Commission (NSC) for alleged financial irregularities.

Namibian Sun understands that the two former employees were arrested on Tuesday for allegedly misappropriating N$4.9 million at the NSC.

The investigation started in 2011. It found that cheques made out to various sport bodies were cashed by the two officials, usually for the maximum allowed amount of N$100 000 per cheque.

The cash never reached the sport organisations and no supporting documentation could be found for the expenditure.

Information was provided to the ACC that one of the suspects intended leaving Namibia for Ghana.

The names of the employees are known to Namibian Sun but cannot be published before they appear in court today.

One of the employees was attached to the finance department while the other was in human resources.

It is believed that both employees worked for the sports commission for longer than five years.

ACC chief investigator Nelius Becker confirmed that the ACC had arrested the two, a man and a woman.

“One former employee and one current employee (who resigned for the end of July 2017) of the National Sport Commission were arrested on corruption charges,” Becker said.

Becker could not disclose any other details pertaining to the case, stating that the two had yet to appear in court.

Mustang's faster than the 911

Ford says its 2018 Pony Car beats out Porsche's 911 Carrera. You have already seen what Ford's updated 2018 Mustang looks like, and you should know all about its advanced gizmotronics in Ford's world-reveal story published in January.

But what's more important in a Pony Car, especially one intended for world distribution, are the ponies under the bonnet. Now Ford has released details of the 2018 Mustang powertrains - and, on paper at least, they are really impressive.

Ford is quoting a 96km/h blast-off time for the flagship GT variant of less than four seconds in Drag Strip mode, making it the most powerful and fastest accelerating Mustang GT yet; it's also quicker to 96km/h than a Porsche 911 Carrera, which takes 4.4 seconds according to claims.

The GT's five-litre V8 has been revised to combine high-pressure direct fuel-injection and low-pressure intake port injection, to give you the best of both worlds: Improved torque and response at low revs as well as more top-end power.

The result, according to chief engineer Carl Widmann, is an 18kW improvement in peak power, from 325 to 343kW, and a 5.7% increase in torque, from 540 to 570Nm.

New 10-speed transmission

The previous model's six-speed 'box has been replaced by a new 10 speed paddle-shift transmission - designed and built in-house - with direct-acting hydraulic controls and real-time adaptive shift scheduling. It has specific mappings for each of the five selectable drive modes - Normal, Sport, Track, Drag Strip and Snow/Wet - including skip-shift and direct downshifting.

And lastly, Widmann gives credit to the specially designed Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres that come with the new Performance Pack, for improving traction off the line (and everywhere else).

EcoBoost also boosted

The 2.3-litre turbopetrol four has also been retuned; power is unchanged at 233kW, torque is up 40Nm to 470Nm. In Drag Strip mode, with Performance Package, 0-100 time is quoted at 'under five seconds'.

Ford SA has yet to confirm when the facelifted and beef-injected Mustangs will be released in South Africa - as soon as we hear, so will you.

Keeping it cleanHere's what you should know about Turbodiesels Turbodiesels are great, fuel-efficient and green… but, can our diesel match up?

Motorists were rather late to arrive at the performance/economy party that is the modern turbodiesel engine.

Whilst Europeans, with the benefit of handsome diesel pump price fuel subsidies, have always preferred turbodiesels over petrols for all but the most committed high-performance applications, the local market only started accepting truck fuel in passenger cars at the turn of the millennium.

There were two cars crucial to this turbodiesel awakening: Golf IV Tdi and BMW's E46 320d. With 0-100km/h acceleration times the equal of most similarly priced petrol rivals, and vastly superior range, these oil-burning Golf and 3-Series sedans convinced South Africans that turbodiesels were a very viable alternative to their petrol-powered siblings.

Immense research and development resources were deployed during the first decade after 2000, with increasingly powerful injectors and Piezo ceramic charge technology extracting terrific torque outputs from turbodiesels. All the time, constant throttle fuel economy remained about 20-30% better than any equivalently petrol engine, and for locals and their long-distance driving habits, turbodiesels started making an awful lot of sense.

Unfortunately, there's been a dark secret to the promotion of turbodiesel. And no, we're not talking emissions and the related VW issue in the US. We're talking diesel quality. And in southern Africa, it's terrifying.

Fuel is the one issue which can potentially convert your creditworthy turbodiesel ownership experience into one of junk-rated ruin.

Pressure is the problem

Turbodiesel engines available for decades, but they lagged embarrassingly in performance compared to similarly sized naturally-aspirated petrol engines. The breakthrough moment for turbodiesels came with the high-pressure, common-rail, injection systems - with fuel delivery precisely controlled by piezoelectric valves.

These piezo valves, when charged with electricity, expand and contract, allowing for incredibly precise high-pressure fuel atomisation. How high are the pressures involved? Up to 3 000-bar, which is ridiculous, but also the reason that comparable 2.0-litre turbodiesel engines have on average notably more torque than similarly-sized turbopetrols.

There is a tremendous risk with these high-pressure injection systems, where tolerances are minuscule and any contaminant sourcing from your fuel, is accelerated under 3 000-bar of pressure, and sure to damage the tiny opening it's forced to travel through.

It's the reason there have been above-average turbodiesel failure rates in the South African market. Our diesel fuel is dirtier than Europe's. In South Africa, diesel is still primarily refined and legislated as an industrial fuel: for heavy transport and farming use. Those engines run much lower injection pressures and can withstand higher volumes of contaminants present in the fuel delivery system.

Your modern turbodiesel car engine, cannot.

How do I protect my engine from a costly failure?

By being conscious of what you are paying for each time your turbodiesel passenger car, bakkie or SUV is running low on fuel. The pump standard is divide into two options: 500- and 50ppm. Obviously, the latter should be your choice, with its greatly reduced sulphur content.

It's not merely buying the lowest ppm-rated fuel which is crucial, it's where you buy it too. Service stations which appear old, with a forecourt that is filthy, will likely have fuel bunkering infrastructure that is similarly maintained. Poorly. And it's during the stowage and re-circulation from delivery truck to pump, and eventually into your tank, that additional environmental contaminants can be added, escalating injector failure risk.

The choice advice is to frequent popular service stations with new infrastructure and a high-customer throughput. These outlets receive their fuel on short haul deliveries. Why is that important? Because as a fuel tanker travels, it heats up, and if it delivers after sunset, having started drive in warm daytime temperatures, the cooling affect will cause condensation – and excess water build-up in diesel, is death to injectors.

Service stations which are modern and exhibit the discipline of good housekeeping will have lower dust risk – and South African dust is particularly damaging to diesel engines, because it contains Silica, which clogs the injection system, or can destroy it under pressure.

A fuel-stop which has a tidy forecourt, is one which will serve you quality fuel. It's also one which is less likely to be purchasing fuel from a bulk reseller, and often it's in this intermediate logistically supply chain where Paraffin is added to diesel, after the core product has been siphoned off, dangerously reducing the lubricity properties of the tanked supply.

Sasol does produce some phenomenally clean diesel for South African passenger car users on the Reef. It's rated at 10ppm, but fuel of that quality is the exception, as the transport and bulk stowage of diesel is often afflicted by ill-disciplined housekeeping.

The principle you should apply? Always fill-up when you see a smart service station. Don't roll into a dust-swept rural one, with analogue pump gauges – and expect them to sell you fairy-fuel diesel which won't damage your high-pressure engine.

BMW denies collusion

German luxury automaker BMW has denied any collusion with industry rivals on emissions from its diesel engines, saying none of its models had been “manipulated” or violated industry regulations.

As revelations about polluting exhaust continue to buffet Germany's all-important auto sector, the Munich-based giant sought to distance itself from what it called the “scandalisation of diesel motors”.

The company said in a statement: “The fact is that automobiles from the BMW group are not manipulated and comply with the relevant legal requirements.

This of course also applies to diesel automobiles. This is confirmed by the relevant results from tests by national and international authorities.”

Five German automakers involved

Der Spiegel magazine had reported Friday that German carmakers Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, BMW and Daimler had secretly worked together from the 1990s onwards on issues including polluting emissions from diesel vehicles.

Volkswagen, which is facing tens of billions of dollars in compensation and fines after admitting in 2015 to cheating on diesel emissions, had reported the cartel to German competition authorities in a letter seen by the weekly, as did Mercedes-Benz maker Daimler.

According to the report, carmakers held “innumerable meetings” from 2006 onwards about diesel exhaust processing systems designed to reduce emissions of harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx).

Carmakers agreed to install only small tanks of a treatment solution, AdBlue, used to convert the gases into harmless water and nitrogen, as larger tanks would have been more expensive.

The size of the AdBlue tanks agreed on was too small to clean exhaust gases by the necessary amount-- “laying the foundations for the diesel scandal,” Spiegel reported.

However BMW said it “firmly dismissed the accusation” that its AdBlue tanks were insufficient, meaning that any “recall or retrofitting for the Euro 6 diesel cars is unnecessary”.

Volkswagen admitted in September 2015 to installing software in 11 million cars worldwide that reduced NOx emissions when it detected that cars were undergoing regulatory tests.

More recently, authorities' suspicion fell on Mercedes-Benz and Smart maker Daimler, with investigators raiding sites belonging to the group in late May.

The firm recalled some three million cars last week for a software update designed to reduce emissions.

Meanwhile, VW subsidiary Audi on Friday recalled up to 850 000 cars fitted with its diesel engines for a similar software update.

Legare set for Debmarine showpieceCivics and Magic face off The town of Gobabis is set for a memorable football showpiece as clubs gear for a push into the semi-finals tomorrow.

Tomorrow's match between Tura Magic FC and Civics is billed as the main attraction of the NFA Debmarine Namibia Cup quarterfinals at the Legare Stadium in Gobabis.

The game follows a match between Mighty Gunners and Try Again FC, who will open the competition at 12:00.

Civilians will battle Magic at 14:00 in an all-premier-league affair, with both teams plotting for a place in the semi-finals.

Arguably the match expected to attract thousands of people will be between Young Africans and Rundu Chiefs at 16:00.

The pressure will be on Young Africans, who are playing at home, while Rundu Chiefs attempt to spoil the party in Gobabis.

So far, the Gobabis-based side has played attractive football, scoring quality goals during the competition.

They come up against a team with premier league experience, though.

Rundu Chiefs have their sights set on making it to the semi-final and are therefore expected to give it their all in the contest.

Young Chiefs boss Marley Ngarizemo said his men are prepared to give the home crowd something to celebrate about. He acknowledges the strength of his opponents, however, stating that the game will not be easy.

Eastern Chiefs and Young Chiefs close the quarterfinals under the floodlights of the Legare Stadium at 18:00.

Also from Gobabis, Eastern Chiefs are likely to give the Oshakati side a torrid time.

Young Chiefs, on the other hand, are also prepared to produce an emphatic performance away from home.

“We admit that it is going to be a very difficult game given that Eastern Chiefs are at home.

“We have been preparing well for this encounter and now will be the time to prove that we can do better than people expect us to,” Young Chiefs' Nicky Kapuka said.

The last eight clubs in the Debmarine Namibia Cup each received an increased amount of N$20 000 to prepare for the matches. The same amount will be given in the semi-finals.

The two finalists will each receive N$30 000 to help prepare for the title-deciding match on 25 November.

The last games of the competition at Mariental and Walvis Bay produced a total of 36 goals.

Tickets are available for N$20 from Computicket and at the gate tomorrow.

Mourinho pleased with Afcon changes

Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho on Wednesday welcomed the decision to hold the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in June and July, calling it “perfect” for Premier League clubs.

“If that's the change it's perfect for us obviously,” he said. “Because it's hard in the middle of the season to lose players like we do ... It's not good for the clubs, it's not good for the competition, and it's not good for the players.”

The Confederation of African Football announced on Thursday plans for the 2019 edition of the tournament to be held in June and July, rather than in its traditional slot in January and February.

Mourinho was forced to do without the services of Eric Bailly halfway through the 2016-17 season when the defender departed to represent Ivory Coast in the tournament.

“So if we can do that, if we manage to move the Africa Cup during the European break it's a fantastic change,” Mourinho said.

We are ready for warHurricanes will bring out the best in us – Kwagga The Emirates Lions are ready to face Vodacom Super Rugby defending champions Hurricanes on Saturday in the semi-final clash.

All of New Zealand may have already written off the Emirates Lions' chances of making this year's Vodacom Super Rugby final, but they may well change their mind if they listen to Lions flanker Kwagga Smith.

While the Lions are sure to face their moment of truth against the defending champions, the Hurricanes, at Emirates Airline Park this weekend in their semi-final clash, Smith was one of the few in the side that missed both defeats last season, including the 50-pointer at the same venue.

But Smith is one of the key differences in the team, a 100-mile-an-hour flanker who doesn't give up easily, and who has already gathered no fewer than five Man of the Match awards in the season as the Lions have moved forward.

The soft-spoken former Springbok Sevens star knows about being written off and believes the Lions are up to the challenge, despite doubts in some quarters of them being able to take a step up in terms of intensity this weekend.

“It's one of the games in the season that counts. You only have one chance and you have to give it your all, otherwise you might be disappointed afterwards and it will be too late to rectify it,” Smith says openly about this weekend's match.

And what about the fact that they haven't faced a Kiwi team just yet? Does that incite fear in any way in the team? Not according to Smith, who believes that the challenge will bring out the best in the Lions.

“It is a huge challenge to face a New Zealand team but that will also bring out the best in us as a team, you know when you play against a great team you also perform great. For us to perform against them and for them to come to us on our home turf – they are used to cold and wet weather at this moment, it will be great for us to play in the sunshine at 14h30.

“It is always a great challenge but that is where you want to measure yourself.

“It might be difficult to play against them, but if we stick to our structures, we play like a New Zealand team anyway. If we stick to our structures we can see what the intensity can bring, it can be quite high but I believe that can suit us a lot as well because of the way we play.

“After the scare they had against the Sharks last weekend, Smith said the team have already put the performance behind them and know exactly where they went wrong. They don't expect the performance to repeat itself this weekend.

“We got back and we worked hard to be better than we were. We couldn't finish the opportunities that we had and we had a lot of them. I had an off day but that happens to any of the best players. For us we put that behind us already on Monday and started working hard again because we know it wasn't too our standard, although there were opportunities, we should have finished them.”

One of the challenges Smith is relishing is coming up against All Black Ardie Savea and Brad Shields, both key members of the Hurricanes side this season.

“I enjoy playing against them. I've played against Ardie a few times in the Sevens and at SA Under-20 level as well, and played with Brad Shields in the Barbarians team. It's great for me to play against them, and those are the loose forwards that you want to measure yourself against. They've also proven to the world that you don't have to be the biggest guys, because they aren't but they perform brilliantly.”

Either way, Smith may not be a man of many words, but he is a determined one, and given the stakes on Saturday, the Lions will know exactly what to expect.

If they want to be Super Rugby champions, a good place to start is to beat the current defending champs.

The athletes will participate in the International Amateur Athletics Federation (IAAF) World Championships from 4 to 14 August, while the under-16 boys' canoe polo team will take part in the World Canoe Polo Championships in Ireland from 2 to 6 August.

Speaking at a capping ceremony, the chief administrator of the Namibia Sports Commission, Freddy Mwiya, said July was a good month for Namibian sport.

Mwiya said football, rugby, athletics and para-athletics did extremely well.

“We saw the rugby and football teams beating Zimbabwe, while our junior athletes did well in Kenya. We also received our para-athletes on Tuesday from London, where they also did extremely well and brought medals home. Go out and emulate them,” he said.

Mwiya urged Namibian teams to compete in a spirit of fair play and behave in a manner befitting athletes from the 'Land of the Brave'.

Benjamin Rebang, sport commissioner for athletics and canoe polo, shared Mwiya's sentiments and told the athletes to do their best.

“Sport is about winning and losing. Try again if you lose but do your utmost best and we hope to welcome you back with your medals,” he said.

The five athletes and two officials travelling to London are: Beata Naigambo, Helalia Johannes, Lavinia Haitope, Paulus Iiyambo, Reonard Namupala, Pieterse Xenia (manager), and Robert Kaxuxuena (coach).

The canoe polo team consists of Wikus Nell, Rino Snyman, Rehaoto Snyders, Andrea Steyn, Antony Jacobie, John Redman and John Rudolf Dreyer.

Welwitschias clear favourites

The Welwitschias are clear favourites to win their match against Kenya in the Rugby Africa Gold Cup this weekend.

Namibia will cross paths with Kenya in the Rugby Africa Gold Cup final test match at the Hage Geingob Stadium on Saturday.

The team is enjoying an unbeaten streak since the start of the annual rugby tournament leading the championship log with 20 points off four bonus-point wins while Kenya lie second with 16 points off three wins and a draw.

Kenyan coach Dominique Habimana, speaking after the team's first training session on Tuesday afternoon, said: “We arrived safe and sound from Zimbabwe, and have just had our first pitch session that's going on well. The mood in the camp is positive and upbeat.

“We are well aware that Namibia are clear favourites for this competition but we are working hard to put up a good show.”

Last weekend's 41-22 away win over Zimbabwe in Bulawayo has seen the Simbas, as the Kenyan team is known, climb one place in the latest World Rugby rankings.

They have another chance to improve their ranking when they play 21st-ranked Namibia on Saturday.

The last time the two sides met was on 15 July 2016, when the Namibians built on a 42-7 lead at the break to take home the 56-21 result en route to winning last year's competition.

The tournament will be played again next year and the winner in 2018 will automatically qualify for the 2019 Rugby World Cup to be held in Japan.

The match kicks off at 15h00.
