NAPHA elects new president
The Professional
Hunters Association of Namibia, NAPHA this week elected Mr Kai Uwe Denker as
their new president to succeed Mr Janneman Brand whose term of office has come
to an end. On behalf of the president of the NAU, Mr Derek Wright and the
Executive Council we wish Mr Denker strength for his term of office at NAPHA.
The Minister of
Environment and Tourism, Ms Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah officially opened the NAPHA
congress. In her speech, which was deliviered on her behalf by the Director of
Tourism, Mr Sem Shikongo, she mentioned the cooperation between the Ministry of
Environment and Tourism and NAPHA as an example of the cooperation between the
private sector and government to jointly reach an aim. She emphasized that the
hunting industry contributes substantially towards the sustainable use of
natural resources as contained in the Constitution of the country.
According to her 88% of
the country’s game is found on commercial land which is a big responsibility
for NAPHA with regard to this resource. She also pointed out that the communal
conservancies play an even bigger role in the conservation of game and that it
currently contributes 28% towards the income of these conservancies.
She challenged NAPHA to
involve more previous disadvantaged game farmers in their organisation and that
NAPHA should also get involved in the conservancies in communal areas. She made
NAPHA members attend that they have to adhere to the professional code in the
hunting industry in order to promote professional hunting in Namibia.
