Master Jack Details
My name is Jackie. I was born in Namibia in 1952. I grew up on a farm about 160km outside of Windhoek. Although my parents were very poor they were very hard-working.After finishing my studies in Stellenbosch, I started working for the government at Windhoek and eventually ended up joining the politics where I for many years was at the right-hand side of one of the greatest politicians ever, Mr Dirk Mudge. I worked for the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance and later joined the Republican Party as their Secretary.In 1987, I went into business with four friends buying a big Athletics Stadium (Independence Stadium) in Windhoek. Our plan was to upgrade the stadium and commercialize it for future use. After Independence in 1991, the new Government took back the premises claiming it belonged to them and in the process, I lost everything, because, on behalf of the business, I have I signed for security, with the banks.Then it took me almost four years to find my feet again. My wife of 25 years, helped me find myself again during this time. We went to stay on a farm for almost 10 years. I was in nature and nature learned me such a lot about survival. We moved back to Windhoek, where I started a factory doing Polymer Concrete products for the building Industry. It lasted for almost 10 years before the building industry collapsed and we had to close the factory.After all of this, I realized that life comes down to five things:1. Your Health - if you lose your health everything comes to a standstill. That is why you should spend a lot of time looking at ways to improve your health.2. Your Wealth - without money, you can't reach a lifestyle that you imagine for yourself. You cant even have the basics to live a good life.3. Your Family - Your family are the only people that really care, come hell or high waters.4. Your Friends - Without friends life becomes bleak. 5. Environment - Find all of life's answers in mother nature, protect it and respect it.
