SWAKOPMUND/NAMIBIA:
SWAKOPMUND is a city on the coast of northwestern Namibia, 280 km (170 mi) west of Windhoek, Namibia's capital. It is the capital of the Erongo administrative district. As a seaside resort, the weather is cooler here in December to January (Namibia's summer months) so the territorial administration moves to Swakopmund for these months.The town has 42,000 inhabitants and covers193 square kilometres (75 sq mi) of land.
Swakopmund is a beach resort and an example of German colonial architecture. It was founded in 1892 as the main harbour for German South-West Africa, and a sizable part of its population is still German-speaking today.
The city lies on the B2 road and the Trans-Namib Railway from Windhoek to Walvis Bay. It is also home to Swakopmund Airport.
Buildings in the city include the Altes Gefängnis prison, designed by Heinrich Bause in 1909. The Woermannhaus, built in 1906 with a prominent tower, is now a public library.
Attractions in Swakopmund include a Swakopmund Museum, the National Marine Aquarium, a crystal gallery and spectacular sand dunes near Langstrand south of the Swakop River. Outside of the city, the Rossmund Desert Golf Course is one of only 5 all-grass desert golf courses in the world. The city is known for extreme sports. Nearby lies a camel farm and the Martin Luther steam locomotive, dating from 1896 and abandoned in the desert.Wikipedia

NAMPA: Kapps farm train derail 09 Jan 2015 hd
WINDHOEK, 09 JAN (NAMPA) – Damages to the railway track and train trucks in the TransNamib train derailment between Kapps Farm and Neudam station on Wednesday could run into millions of Namibian dollars.
The four railway tankers which derailed were carrying aviation fuel from Windhoek to the Hosea Kutako International Airport (HKIA).
These tankers and one open truck capsized and fell next to the railway tracks.
They were part of Freight Train 2401 which consisted of eight tankers, two open trucks and a locomotive.
The locomotive, four fuel tankers and one open wagon remained on the tracks. The open wagons were both empty and were used to separate the flammable tankers in case of emergency.
A distance of about 100 metres of the railway track had been damaged.
Environment damage is limited, and no one was injured or killed in the accident.
When Nampa visited the scene on Friday morning, about 40 TransNamib employees were busy repairing the damaged stretch of tracks so that railway traffic between the HKIA and towns and settlements east of Windhoek can resume.
A media statement issued by TransNamib's Public Relations Officer Ailly Hangula-Paulino on Thursday evening said arrangements were already made to transport the much-needed aviation fuel by road.
She said that the exact cause of the derailment could not be ascertained at this point, and an internal investigation was underway.
It was the second train derailment within three months, following the overturning of a mixed goods train between Okahandja and Karibib in October last year.
