Ilan Baruch, the Ambassador of Israel to South Africa, on Wednesday this week officially launched the Namibia Israel business alliance, and proposed a toast to Israel's 60th Anniversary. “For a small and very young nation, Israel has already produced more than a fair share of Nobel laureates. Last year, an Israeli scientist were credited with having created a featherless chicken as a contribution to boosting productivity, I am not sure that the generic work on the featherless chicken will win its inventors a Nobel Prize!” said the ambassador. Prominent business people and top government officials graced the event. See article on page 6. (Photograph by Lukas Haufiku)
