Trou is nie perdekoop

a, dis daai tyd van die jaar. Ons begin almal ontwaak. Dis tyd vir vroeër opstaan, ’n lekker stappie langs die strand, selfs tyd vir ’n verfrissende dip in die see. (Ja, ek hoop jy geniet dit, ek lieg nie meer vir myself nie, g’n kans dat jy my daar gaan vang met my winterlyf nie.) Ewentwil, die blommetjies begin bot, die vinkies kwetter, die walvisse kalf en talle voornemende bruide blom. En stress. Om nie van die arme bruidegom te praat nie. Of die bruid se mamma nie! Pa wil niks weet nie. Hy sien maar net hoe sy pensioenplan in die hek duik. Hopelik is die GROOT DAG Pappa se oogappel se enigste en laaste troudag. Want net die Super Rykes kan meer as een groot huwelik bekostig. Dit hoef natuurlik nie so te wees nie. Jy hoef nie spesiaal kaartjies te laat druk nie. Deesdae is daar unieke voorafgedrukte uitnodigings beskikbaar wat met die hand ingevul kan word vir daardie persoonlike touch. Hessian is hoogmode, so ook rustic troues... Handgemaak is in. Jy, Mamma, sussie, skoonma, niggies en vriendinne kan self met die mooiste bykomstighede opkom. En natuurlik is VINTAGE al ’n hele rukkie ’n gewilde tema. Klim in Ouma se kaste in of hoor of jou gunsteling dekorwinkel dalk van hulle items sal uithuur. En lint is ’n wonderlike ding. Naas blomme is daar niks soos mooi linte wat ’n troue in ’n sprokie kan verander nie. Ek begin nou geleidelik gewoond raak aan die idee dat groot uitgevrete lummels my ‘Tannie’ noem. Daarom voel ek heeltemal bevoeg om ’n bietjie raad uit te deel aan voornemende troupaartjies. Ek het darem al twee dekades van huweliksvreugde en vurige ‘debat’ met my wederhelf onder die belt. Die kinders is uit die huis uit en ons wil nog nie skei nie – so ons doen seker iets reg. Sodra jou liefie haar nooiensvan vir joune verruil het, is daar sekere reëls wat jy as huweliksmaat en eggenote maar moet aanvaar. Jy mag dalk aanvanklik daarteen baklei, maar jy staan nie ’n kans nie, boetie. Luister nou mooi na die Tannie. Jou vrou het soms ‘me’ time nodig. In Afrikaans beteken ‘me’ tyd eintlik ‘mooi’ tyd. Ons hou van mooi. Sommer net. Ons wil dit sien, raak, ruik, ervaar... Daaraan voel. So moenie vir haar vra: Wat gaan jy daarmee maak nie? of Waar gaan jy dit sit nie? Dis is nie die punt nie! En hou op om so om haar rond te hang. Gaan weg. Gaan hardeware winkel toe. Jy inhibeer haar. O, en voor jy loop, moenie vergeet om die kredietkaart of kontant te los nie. Wat? Moenie so na my kyk nie. Jy wil jou suikerbekkie tog soet en lief hou ... jy’s nie lus vir ’n suurpruim nie, of hoe?

As jy ook van mooi goeters hou, dan mag jy maar bly. Met die grootste liefde skattebol. Of gaan sit agter in die winkel en drink ’n koffie. En lees die koerant of blaai deur ’n kartydskrif. Ons gee natuurlik nie om nie. Want vroulief wil so elke nou en dan vir jou kom wys watse mooi dingetjie sy ontdek het. Jy hoef nie die funksie of doel van die item te verstaan nie, knik maar net en maak ’n goedkeurende gromgeluid. Sy het in elk geval klaar besluit sy gaan hom koop. Vrouens het mooi in hulle lewens nodig. Dis wat ons laat tick. Ons wil bederf word. En dit is jou job, meneer (pasgetroud of nie) om vir vroulief te bederf. In ruil daarvoor sal sy jou op die hande dra, sportprogramme saam met jou kyk (gelukkig nie veel van ’n opoffering vir my nie) en op haar beurt probeer geïnteresseerd lyk as jy haar van die nuutste vierwielaangedrewe wonderwerk vertel. Maar laat ek nie eensydig wees met my raad nie. Liewe voornemende bruid, jou Liefie gaan stelselmatig agterkom dat hy nie veel sê het wanneer dit kom by die belangrike besluite nie... (soos waar julle gaan bly, die huis se dekor, hoe hy behoort aan te trek ens.) en dit kan hom baie onseker laat voel. As jy regtig slim is, sal hy dit glad nie agterkom nie, maar indien wel, sorg dat hy beheer oor die remote control behou – my man reken die remote is laaste bastion van mag in ons huwelik. As jy hom forseer om van daardie bietjie kontrole af te sien, is die einde in sig. So begin maar hekel of scrapbooking doen terwyl Manlief na sy gunsteling karprogram kyk. Selfs al lê hy snorkend kop agteroor, remote vasgeklem in die hand... Daar is nie ’n manier wat hy gaan erken dat hy dwarsdeur die hele Bruce Willis fliek geslaap het nie... En jy moet maar saamspeel. Nou hoor ek rumours van manne wat glo skelmpies karre agter hulle vrouens se ruê koop. Ou karre. Hulle noem dit versamelstukke, ons noem dit skedonke. Die storie loop dat daar heelparty karre in verskillende privaat garages geberg word en dat daar na ure en oor naweke met liefde en aandag aan die voertuie getimmer en gewerskaf word. Nou toe nou. En ek dag vrouens is die enigstes wat skelmpies mooi goetertjies agter pappa se rug koop en dan die huis insmokkel. Ons is nog subtiel. Dis ’n blompot hier en daar. Dalk ’n staanlamp. Maar ’n 1969 Valiant is ’n heeltemal ander storie. Maar nou ja, hy timmer darem nie aan ’n ander vrou nie... En ek voel beslis nie geintimideer deur ’n Ford Granada nie – al is hy nou in die oorspronklike oranje van sy era. Ek sal jou liefhê... for better of vir wors... Tot die dood ons skei.

Then you see that requires tooooo much work and hopefully you will find one that is juuuuust right. How do you start hunting for the perfect venue? a Estimate how many people you’d like to invite to your big day a Decide with your fiancé, how much you are willing to spend a Talk to your fiancé whether you will like to get married in the wine lands, on the beach, country or in the city. a Start searching on the Internet (most of the wedding websites has a “refine” search option). What to remember when you found a venue that you like? a Find out exactly what your chosen venue offers you v Does the venue have a kitchen? Only inside catering or is outside catering acceptable. v Tables, chairs and linens. v Does the venue have a setup/clean-up crew act? v Corkage fees on wine and how does the bar work?

Pure Health and Ozone Therapy

DO-RE-ME-FA-SEW… SEW A NEEDLE PULLING THREAD Aesthetic medicine is a fast moving game and physicians need to keep our eye on the ball for what is hip and trendy and what is truly scientifically advancing our skills and the results for patients. Two such advancements to hit the scene are the Silhouette thread lift and the PDO threads. I will endeavour to explain the difference between the two and the pros and cons of each procedure.

Where the single thread lift produced as described above, has its place; so too does the PDO threading; which has recently become very popular. PDO threading was introduced by the South Koreans; who after years of acupuncture experience, attached a very slim thread to acupuncture needles and used many of these for collagen stimulation, lift and tightening. In this instance the thread is made from polydioxanone a substance which also stimulates collagen production. The thread is short and many threads are placed at one sitting. Due to the size of these acupuncture needles, no anaesthetic injection is needed; although I still pamper the patients with anaesthetic cream which is not really necessary. The sutures provide a lifting, smoothing and brightening effect on the skin. The various lengths of thread give the doctor options in treating a range of areas. This procedure is very well tolerated by patients. Each thread costs R300, but bear in mind that many threads are used per treatment. One thread will not have an effect. One can expect to use 10-20 threads per sitting. So while many short threads are put under the skin with PDO, one long thread is inserted with Silhouette.

Refine patient 18 months after Silhouette Lift The Silhouette thread has been hailed as the best minimally invasive lifting technique. It is a long thread which, when placed in the correct area creates significant lift so an entire area of the face is lifted; such as jawline and jowls, cheeks, forehead and eyebrows or neck. The thread is made of polylactic acid, a substance used to make heart valves for decades. The benefit of this substance is that it attracts collagen to the thread. So while the thread lasts 18 months; the collagen left where the thread was, as well as the lift can last between 24-48 months depending on the collagen one produces. The procedure is done under three dots of local anaesthetic in the rooms and takes around 30 minutes. The thread also has small cones on it, once placed under the skin, the skin can be pushed up and the cones hold the skin in place. Due to the skin’s elasticity this ruching settles within three days, as the cones find their space. Thereafter the collagen begins to be stimulated and best results are seen from around two months. It is thus a gradual tightening and lifting, which is not as obvious as the dramatic changes of a facelift. It is practically painless and besides a risk of bruising (which is rare in the right physician’s hands); it is an extremely safe and effective procedure. If the threads are placed in a straight line they can also lift and plump an area such as cheeks. The procedure costs around R10, 000. Many of my patients ask how many of these procedures I’ve done, by now the numbers have way surpassed 100 patients so I am confidant to offer this procedure on a daily basis. After the World Expert Meeting which I have been invited to in Barcelona in September; I will be able to introduce new techniques and updates. More than 87,000 procedures have been done worldwide over the last 7 years. A wonderful advantage of this procedure is that one can have several threads for different areas, in the same sitting; and there is no time limit between threads being inserted, so that the patient can repeat the procedure as they grow older.

The beauty of the lower cost of the PDO threads is that a patient can have procedures done over a course of time; it does not all have to be done at once. PDO thread areas would include a single jowl, or under chin, or under eyes. Threads dissolve after 8 months but the lifting and tightening effects of these threads lasts 2-3 years due to the continual production of collagen and elastin during this time. PDO threads have been used in various areas of the body such as over the buttocks, in the arms, chest area etcetera. Again PDO procedure takes about thirty minutes to be performed and there is no cutting involved. Bruising is possible and usually resolves within a few days, with the use of Arnica. The PDO lift can be thought of as, as inserting a scaffolding under the skin to create a spreading and lifting of fine lines and wrinkles; or it can be used in V-shaped vectors to produce lifting. It gives the patients many options in many areas. One of the benefits of PDO’s as opposed to Silhouette is that one does not have to be careful with yawning, chewing or exaggerated facial expressions and movement which can dislodge the Silhouette. Advantages of both threading procedures include that there is no cutting, no general anaesthetic. There are no stiches involved, no risk of rejection and the only possible side effects are mild bruising and swelling which resolves within days. Both procedures can be done with any other aesthetic injection such as Botox or Dermal fillers. This can be done at the same sitting or at another stage. There is no risk of scarring. Threading is well tolerated and there is a high level of patient satisfaction as the final result is very natural.

It’s all about the Music

Hermanus has a musical treat coming its way at the end of October! Something probably never experienced by music lovers in the Overstrand before. A full youth orchestra of 45 members, aged from 8 to 13, from The Hall Preparatory School in London will be giving a performance at the Municipal auditorium on Saturday 29 October 2016. But it gets even better! They will be joined by our very own Enlighten Education Trust Youth Orchestra, which was formed as a strings ensemble in October last year. This group, expanded to include other young musicians from this area, performed to great acclaim at this year’s FynArts Festival. They are thrilled at the opportunity to play with pupils from a full-scale music school in the UK and those pupils, under a South African Director of Music, Dr Willem Steyn, are equally excited at the prospect of playing in beautiful Hermanus. It is not their first trip to South Africa and they have already fallen in love with the country and its people. The Enlighten Youth Orchestra is the fulfilment of a dream by Local resident, Elvia Bury, who provided the seed funding for the project in memory of her late husband, Alex. It is being trained and nurtured by Enlighten’s very active Music Department under the management of Mrs Anna-Marié Kotzé. As she says, ‘The aim of the orchestra is to provide the youth of the Overstrand with the opportunity to make music in ensemble form. Music can be a lonely road, but great friends can be made, across a diversity of backgrounds, when playing and practising together’. The original 12 violinists and one cellist were recruited from all six of the local primary schools; now they have the chance to extend their circle of musical friends to another country. It is hoped through this joint performance to build an on-going relationship with The Hall, which, in time, may even lead to some sort of exchange programme amongst the learners. What a wonderful opportunity that would be!

So, make sure not to miss this very special event. It will take place on Saturday 29 October at 11:00 at the Municipal auditorium. Contact Enlighten at 028 3130974 for more information. SPLASH 7

Whale Watching B

oat Based Whale Watching was first established in South Africa about 20 years ago and since then it has grown in popularity. The ability to see these amazing sea giants up close is something quite unlike anything you will ever experience. “These gentle giants leave you deeply aware of how insignificant we are in the greater picture.” These giants are 8 - 10 times the average size of a male elephant and so “ugly it becomes breathtakingly beautiful”. Unlike, most of the commercial whale watching companies, “Ivanhoe Sea Safaris” operates from the quaint fishing harbour of Gansbaai otherwise known as Goose Bay and is the permit holder for area 6 of Walker Bay, argued as the best whale watching location in the world, a little past the coast

of Hermanus. Gansbaai is roughly 2 hours from Cape Town and is the true whale watchers paradise, off the cliffs of De Kelders. A trip on “The Ivanhoe” will treat you to the best whale watching experience you could ever imagine, and one you will never forget. A Typical trip will have you exploring our magnificent coastline and bay while looking for whales, dolphins, sharks, seals and seabirds. Apart from the Southern Right Whales, we are able to view Brydes Whales, Humpback Whales and possibly even Great White Sharks. There are many Cape Fur Seals, African Penguins, Dolphins, Sunfish and plenty of coastal marine birds to been seen whilst out at sea.

In National Braai Day, we South Africans have a realistic opportunity to entrench and cement a national day of celebration for our country, within our lifetimes. I believe that having a national day of celebration can play a significant role in nation-building and social cohesion as the observance of our shared heritage can truly bind us together. In Africa, a fire is the traditional place of gathering. I urge you to get together with your friends and family around a fire on 24 September every year to celebrate our heritage, share stories and pass on traditions. Unite around a fire, share our heritage and wave our flag. Please help me spread that word!

We want our guest to have a fun yet educational experience. All trips have proficient marine guides on board to answer your questions and share their vast knowledge of the ocean and its creatures with you. Our objective is to adhere to responsible tourism guidelines and the emphasis of all our trips is on the conservation and welfare of these magnificent animals. We offer unique trips that give you the ability to observe some of the ocean’s biggest and enigmatic inhabitants in their natural surroundings. Whale Watching Trips - (June to December) Our whale watching trips take place from June to December however, should the whales change their

migration schedule (arrive early and leave later) we will adjust our schedule accordingly. Generally the trip last 2 hours, but can be longer depending on how quickly we find the whales. At the start of the season we launch twice daily at 10am and 1pm, in main season (Aug-Sep-Oct) we put on an extra trip in the morning with a 7am launch and then from September on-wards an extra trip in the afternoon either 3:30pm or if a good sunset is forecasted a trip at 5pm. The 5pm trip is truly a magnificent experience watching the whales bask in the shallow waters as well as experiencing a stunning Walker Bay sunset.

HERITAGE T-BONE STEAK WITH PINOTAGE SAUCE

t was Archbishop Desmond Tutu who famously said “I like T-bone steaks because they are in the shape of Africa”. For this reason, the shape of it, you could argue that the T-bone steak is more South African than other cuts of steak. From this follows the clear logic that it’s the one to serve with a Pinotage sauce. Pinotage is our very own South African grape variety. In 1925 it was famously bred as a cross between Pinor Noir and Cinsaut by Professor Abraham Perold at Stellenbosch University. This meal then is a great part of our South African wine and braai heritage. The recipe was specifically designed not to use the whole bottle of Pinotage. This way you are left with some wine to drink during the braai after making the sauce!

WHAT TO DO 1. Light a massive fire using your favourite braai wood. Open a bottle of Pinotage wine, pour yourself a glass and do some quality control. 2. T-bone steaks are very well suited to being dry-aged. As such you would have ideally bought dry-aged T-bone steaks from your butcher, and he would have cut them right there in front of your eyes in the butchery. If not and your steaks were wet-aged and vacuum packed, remove the steaks from their packaging, rinse them under cold running water and pat dry with kitchen towels. 3. Place a medium-sized flameproof pan or potjie over the fire. You want a pretty high heat but it must not be searing hot, so just use some of the burning logs under the potjie, not all of them. 4. Melt the butter and then fry the finely chopped onion, garlic and thyme leaves for about 5 minutes until the onion is soft and starts to turn brown. Fry the onions first and add the garlic about 1 minute before the next step as garlic actually fries much quicker than onion. 5. Add the flour and stir well, then immediately add the Pinotage, stock, sugar and vinegar. Mix well, bring to the boil and then boil over high heat to reduce the liquid by half. Stir often. Depending on the size of your pot and the heat of your fire, this should take 15 minutes, but it could be slightly longer or slightly shorter. While the liquid is reducing, it should thicken and become a rich sauce. Taste the sauce at this point and season with salt and pepper. Keep in mind that some beef stocks are already quite salty, so you might not need salt at all. When you’re happy with the texture of the sauce, remove from the fire. 2 Luck y reade stand a rs 6. While you’re waiting for the sauce to reduce in step 6, braai the steaks over very high heat for chance one of to about 8 minutes. You can salt them before or during the braai. You only need to turn them once w in Jan’s n avaliab ew boo le in Afr on the grid, in other words braai them once per side.

Wat het verander in Rugby sedert 2015 en 2016 en wat nie?

eur Da

S ie nyman

is baie interessant om te kyk wat in die spel verander het en wat nie. Kom ons ondersoek die beginsels waaroor ons verlede jaar geskryf het en wat in die nuwe jaar weer na vore gekom het. Dis nogal belangrik om dit te posisioneer, te bekyk en dan die vraag te vra of SA Rugby dan nie uit vorige ondervindings leer nie? Om vooruit te kan boer, soos die ou boere sou gesê het, moet ons leer uit die geskiedenis anders beweeg ons nie vooruit nie. My filosofie is baie eenvoudig en dit is dat ons op internasionale vlak alle wedstryde moet wen. Gaan ons dit in alle gevalle regkry? Stellig nie, maar ons moet onsself optimaal daarvoor posisioneer. With that in mind, I will select my first two kickers for the team and make sure that they are 85% plus accurate kickers. The outcome of most close games will be determined by the kicker. The psychological advantage for a side to get points when they are available, is massive. Naas Botha’s winning streak of 83% in all the big games that he played is testimony of just that. Die kwota-beginsel is nog met ons. Dit beteken ons moet die beste spelers van kleur kies, kyk in watter posisies hulle speel en maak seker dat hulle in top vorm is. Die spesifieke posisies waarin hulle speel is natuurlik baie belangrik. Dis iets wat ons al voorheen bespreek het. Die weglating van die WP se Notshe(6) en Scarra(2) en Vrystaat se Raymond Rhule is vir my nie verstaanbaar nie. Al drie hierdie spelers sal geen Springbok-span in die steek laat nie. With this as the backdrop nothing has changed. Have we learned anything? Was continuity created by SARU with the newly appointed coach? Yes, we have got a new coach so that is new but has SARU transferred the knowledge to him or will he get carte blanche to do what he wants. We will have to wait and see.

Dit is baie belangrik vir SA en die ondersteuners dat die Springbokspan die verbeelding van die kliëntebasis aangryp en hulle saam met die span op die nuwe ervaringsreis neem. The next stadium must be packed with not one vacant seat. Every supporter must want to be present and be part of this new journey. We need to get that kind of excitement back into the stands. Saam met die nuwe afrigter het ons ook ’n nuwe benadering nodig. Waar was ’n beter geleentheid met die Leeus as ’n platform en met die Leeus se kaptein as die nuwe Springbok-kaptein? Hulle spelpatroon was die mooiste, mees effektiefste en mees ondernemendste van SA kant af in die Super 16-kompetisie. Hoekom nie daarop voort bou nie?

The supporting staff should be contributing with new ideas full of adventure and some risk-taking that will stimulate the players and encourage them to experiment at this level. The most important thing is to understand that if you do not take risks, the rewards will be less. That is life. Dan is daar die wêreld se verskil tussen risiko spel en dom spel. Hoekom moet ek deur fasespel werk om die bal daarna weer uit of veld-af te skop? Hoekom oefen ek nie net my skoppe sodat ek beter en verder kan skop nie? Dit het tog ’n baie laer risiko met ’n beter veldposisie as die ander spel opsie. Dan praat ek nie eers van die afskopspel nie wat weer die bal vasmaak en dan òf uitskop òf dit vir die nr 9 gee om onder druk te skop.

Yes, we have new players and it is with big excitment that we will sit in front of the TV to evaluate their contribution to the new game that we are looking forward to see… Impact players who will turn the game upside down and players with an uncontaminated free spirit and will to create change. Dit is geweldig belangrik om te verstaan dat die gees van die mens die verandering in gedrag teweegbring. Hoe meer spontaan die geestelike gedrag is, hoe meer kreatief kan dit wees en dit is presies wat ons op die rugbyveld soek. Weg met die geykte prentjies en beginsels wat ons niks anders in die sak bring as ’n klomp lang gesigte nie. Maak los die brieke en kom ons speel!

Strongman training @ www.proactivefitness.co.za

e all have watched amazing feats of strength on TV performed by familiar strongman names like Mariusz Pudzianowski, Magnus Samuelsson and Sadrinus Zavikas on World Strongest Man. “What is strongman?” It is not running a triathlon (ironman), amateur boxing (toughman), or powerlifting or bodybuilding. It is a way of sculpting your physique through immense gains in strength and size through the use of select equipment. It taxes the entire muscular and mental system and leads to complete development.

Another component is to develop speed and endurance. A strong feature of strongman training is that it revolves around functional moves. A very select few gyms have necessary equipment to offer this training. At Proactive, Johan Kruger, will offer individual and group classes for this. Strongman training is the most intensive way to build a most muscular physique to handle these heavy weights.

Unmatched gains in strength and muscularity is a direct result from training with the “Giant Yoke”, “The Farmers Walk”, “The Apollon Axle Press”, “The Truck Pull”, “Sled Drag” and similar disciplines. Johan Kruger, well known and certified personal trainer, competitive power lifter and strongman participant will now run regular classes from the Proactive Gym. If you are interested in this way of training, please contact Johan on 073 166 3489 or at the gym on 028 313 2074.

What it takes to be an estate agent (a good one). a leader. “Estate agents are notoriously bad when it comes to providing feedback to their clients!” This is just one of the complaints heard frequently by property purchasers and sellers. The question is: “Are there any real professional estate agents out there?” I believe that there are… but what does it take to ensure professionalism and what should buyers and sellers be on the lookout for? My advice to them is: deal with agents who are leaders and can handle challenges and complexity and who demonstrate a high level of understanding and therefore can and do communicate effectively. This, of course, requires real estate knowledge and the ability to apply it authentically, realistically and sincerely. Authenticity being the keyword… Authenticity relies on emotional intelligence; in other words, the person’s identity must be authentic. Having an authentic identity is the highest form of emotional intelligence and it presupposes confidence, humility, integrity and empathy. Self-awareness and an ability to regulate how you act on your emotions are crucial components of emotional intelligence. Authenticity is very refreshing and it is much easier to be receptive to authentic people… but, there are also so few of them. Ego and pretense are so common and accepted that it is easy to forget what authenticity is. Therefore, the more someone dares to open up and shows him/herself as a vulnerable human being, the easier it will be to serve their clients with integrity…and provide regular feedback! Next time we will discuss what knowledge your estate agent should possess to ensure the most professional approach.

Sustiana van Huyssteen wat leerders op 18 Mei vergesel het.

“

Die leerders van Rhenish Girls' High op Stellenbosch het vanjaar weer aan die ATKV-Spelathon deelgeneem. Weer eens het hulle vir groot opwinding en eer vir hulleself sowel as vir die skool gesorg. Twee leerders het in hul onderskeie afdelings elkeen ’n Eerste Plek in die Wes-Kaap behaal en een leerder ’n Vierde Plek in die Wes-Kaap. Vanaf die begin die jaar het die gr. 9- en 10-leerders entoesiasties geoefen om in Afrikaans te spel. Uitdunne is eers binne skoolverband gehou deur middel van ’n kompetisie met aantreklike pryse. Uit die groot groep leerders kon daar uiteindelik agt gekies word wat kon deurdring tot op Provinsiale vlak vir die Wes-Kaap. Die Provinsiale uitdunne het op 17 en 18 Mei 2016 by Wynberg Boys' High plaasgevind. Dit was ’n strawwe meedinggeleentheid met ander skole. Die wenners was Amirah Gabru met Eerste Plek in die Wes-Kaap vir Afrikaans Eerste Addisionele Taal Gr. 10 en Ally Osborn met Eerste Plek in die Wes-Kaap in dié kategorie vir Gr. 9. Hierdie twee meisies gaan in Oktober vanjaar op Nasionale Vlak in Gauteng meeding. Die Afrikaans Huistaalgroep het in húl strawwe kompetisie hul deursettingsvermoë en talent bewys. Lynzee Arense het die Vierde Plek in die Wes-Kaap verwerf. Baie dankie aan die ATKV vir hierdie leersame geleentheid! ' ’n Baie spesiale en groot dankie aan die Vriende van Afrikaans wat ons deurgaans ondersteun het. Benewens taalkundige advies, is ’n skenking van ATKV-verrassingsakkies vanaf hulle ontvang. Ons het hierdie sakkies tydens die uitdunne gebruik. Dit het meegehelp om die kompetisie vir die leerders meer prettig en sinvol gemaak en hulle ywer net nog meer te stimuleer.

”

Die ATKV is ’n kultuurorganisasie wat sonder staatsondersteuning en met baie goeie bestuur daarin slaag om tientalle verdienstelike projekte soos die een hierbo uit te rol. Op dié manier is ons deel van die oplossing en nie die probleem nie! Sluit gerus aan by die ATKV as jy ook wil bydra sodat die lewensgehalte van Afrikaanse mense deur kuns en kultuur verbeter kan word. Kontak my gerus by amandad@vva.atkv.org.za. Mooi loop! Amanda

HALFAAMPIESKRAAL SE SKATTE

Europese Kasteel gevoel

Jaarlikste reise bring altyd iets nuuts

an-Georg Solms is ‘n boerklong van die Overberg maar moet nie dat die woord boer jou kul nie. Die Europese setlaars bloed vloei sterk deur sy are en sy talente is eindeloos. Hy het die familie-opstal op die plaas Halfaampieskraal met sy eklektiese styl verander in ‘n Europese kasteel. Die Boer lei my van die plaaswerf af direk in die kombuis in, mos tradisie op ‘n plaas. Die kombuis is nie verniet die hart van ‘n plaashuis nie. Ook, dis net hier waar boere tradisie stop, want die res van die huis vertel ‘n ander storie. Jou asem word weggeslaan deur die onverantwoordelike vermenging van kleur, wat hy met groot sukses aanwend om ‘n dramatiese milieu te skep. Dis so ryk en diep dat jy net aan alles wil vat. Die vertrekke van die huis bestaan uit eetkamers en sithoeke vir Halfaampieskraal se gaste. Dis maklik om deur die huis te wandel en heeltemal verlore te raak in die skoonheid om jou. Jy word weggevoer na ‘n ander wêreld, in ‘n ander land, in ‘n ander tyd. My keel raak skoon droog van bewondering vir die boer en sy talente en ek vind my pad terug kombuis toe vir boeretroos en om Jan-Georg te gaan toegooi met vrae oor wat hy hier geskep het. Halfaampies kraal is ‘n gasteplaas, waar eg Suid Afrikaanse gasvryheid in ‘n ﬁlosoﬁese wyse beleef word. Hy is baie nederig oor sy vermoë, dis amper vanselfsprekend deel van sy gene. Dis vir hom moeilik om sy styl ‘n naam te gee. Ek verstaan, want wat jy ervaar is uniek. Sy ma is ‘n tuisteskepper van formaat en hy het met haar dekor invloede groot geword. Die bloedrooi mat in die groot eetkamer was sy ma se doen en late.

Die enigste seun tussen vier kreatiewe susters, het ‘n deﬁnitiewe uitwerking op hom gehad. Sy suster Nelia het ‘n asemrowende “mural” in die Plantasie kamer geverf. Met die plasing van plante en blommerangskikkings uit die tuin, skep dit ‘n drie dimensiele skouspel. Sy ouers was lief vir veilings en het die kinders betrokke gemaak deur toe te laat dat elke kind een keer per jaar op ‘n rommelspul mag bie. Groot opgewondenheid het ontstaan by die uitpak van die nuwe skatte. Sy pa het die kinders geleer van die waarde en herkoms. So het Jan-Georg se versamelings begin en sy talente kos gekry vir mooi maak. Sy en Cobus se jaarlikse reise na Europa bring elke keer ietsie nuuts vir Halfaampieskraal se dekor. Cobus se invloed inspireer hom en saam saam maak die manne planne as daar veranderinge aangebring word. Jan-Georg se talente stop nie net by dekor nie maar verleng na die verskeie blommerangskikkings in wisselende proporsies, wat voortdurende dialoog voer met mekaar deur die huis. Met die selfde oog en gesoﬁstikeerde styl word die kos voorgesit. Ontbyt kry ‘n ander betekenis op die plaas en deur die gaste elke aand in ‘n ander eetkamer te laat eet, word ‘n nuwe gevoel en ervaring geskep. Gesonde boerekos op ‘n fyn proef styl word voorgesit, met die hulp en bystand van Malette.

As Jacob Breyne so aptly put it in his following words: ‘If nature ever showed her playfulness in the formation of plants, this is visible in the most striking way among the orchids. The manifold shape of these flowers arouses our highest admiration. They take on the form of little birds, of lizards, of insects. They look like a man, like a woman, sometimes like an austere, sinister fighter, sometimes like a clown who excites our laughter. They represent the image of a lazy tortoise, a melancholy toad, an agile, ever-chattering monkey. Nature has formed orchid flowers in such a way that, unless they make us laugh, they surely excite our greatest admiration’. Jakob Breyne (1678) Translated by Oakes Ames (1948) SPLASH 21
