LAND SURVEY of all properties in Oranjemund: 

starting 5th March 2008

OTMCo has started with the exercise to demarcate the boundaries of all plots in Oranjemund.

This is the first step in the process to enable the registration of the erven in the Deeds Office and facilitate the issuing of title. The surveyors, Mr. Shanyengana and Mr. Dreyer and their survey teams will therefore be visiting all the properties to determine the boundaries of the erven and put some pegs, in the process they may need to trim some trees or cut some bushes. Please assist them by giving them access into the yard. We count on the co-operation of all occupants to make this exercise a success.

I do apologize for the delay in sending you the relevant notice as agreed, however this serves to confirm that the changes, as discussed, between Namdeb Diamond Corporation Pty Ltd & Shell Namibia & Jowells Toyota Oranjemund, were implemented effectively from Tuesday, 11 March 2008. 

I would like to bring it to your attention that in order to meet the scheduled time requirements from 06h00 to 22h00; it has become necessary to incorporate shifts.  There are therefore 2 shifts daily (including weekends) and the staff attendance at the pumps will be: 2 pump attendants per shift (Monday-Friday) & 1 pump attendant as well as 1 casual per shift (Weekends).
