 Ambush in Angola, not Namibia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
By saying that the ambush took place between Oshikango and Ondjiva the article perpetuates the impression created by the headline that the Oshikango referred to is on the Namibian side of the border while, in fact, it should be Santa Clara (Oshikango) on the Angolan side of the border.
It should be mentioned that a tourist or potential investor who might have read the article on the Internet and might want to locate Oshikango on the map, would only find the one on the Namibian side of the border.
While the above inaccuracies may not have been deliberate, it is important for editors to crosscheck their facts before publishing stories that reinforce the wrong perception that the northern part of Namibia is unstable and insecure.

 Peter & Kay Forwood trip on a Harley-Davidson to Angola
20/7/06 The Angolan border near Ondjiva is still operating out of temporary offices but our visa details were efficiently entered into the computer, the carnet was stamped and no payments were asked for except by the kid who was pointing me to the correct offices.
The first 40 km to Ondjiva was excellent asphalt, driving on the right hand side, but the next 100 km to Xangongo was broken up with potholes limiting our speed to 50 km/hr most of the time.
Unfortunately we again lost the kitchen, the new one, the one we have only had for two months, well stocked with food, too heavy it bounced out of its straps and again some lucky local will be pleased with the extremely early Christmas hamper.
