\u2019n Boorling van die Strand wat bekend staan as die \u201cMoeder van die Sand\u201d en wat ook \u2019n welbekende digter is, gaan in Augustus-maand \u2019n groot lewensdroom verwesenlik wanneer sy as deel van die Vrouemaand-vieringe by die Kunstekaap in Kaapstad op Vrouedag (Woensdag 9 Augustus) \u2019n po\u00ebsievoordrag gaan lewer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elzana October (41) is vreeslik opgewonde om by die Kunstekaap se jaarlikse Women\u2019s Humanity Festival op te tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het altyd iewers in my lewe \u2019n gaping gehad. Ek was net \u2019n vrou, \u2019n doodgewone kleurling, maar ek het glad nie my kultuur geken nie. Totdat ek begin delf het in my kultuur en daaruit is \u2018Moeder van die Sand\u2019 gebore. Ek het begin skryf en dit was wat ek beskryf as \u2019n bo-natuurlike ervaring. Ek skryf van \u2019n tyd dat ek nie geleef het nie, \u2019n tyd wat ek geen ervaring van het nie,\u201d s\u00ea October. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar toe sy begin gedigte skryf was dit asof als in plek val en die heelal vir haar terug antwoord en haar aanmoedig om aan te hou met skryf. Sy het onlangs die nuus ontvang dat sy een van haar gedigte gaan kan voorlees by die Kunstekaap-vieringe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy reik juis uit na vroue in haar gedig want volgens haar word vroue onderdruk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar is so \u2019n ernstigheid aan my gedig. Ek gaan uit en ek sien vroue loop en hulle kleef vas aan hul handsakke. Hulle word neergedruk en dis juis hoekom die gedig en die Kunstekaap se fees so belangrik is,\u201d vertel sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens haar word die Kunstekaap se jaarlikse Women\u2019s Humanity Festival, ge\u00efnspireer deur 20 000 vroue wat in 1956 besluit het genoeg is genoeg, en hulle het gestap na die Uniegeboue in Pretoria en hulle uitgespreek teen al die onderdrukkings van daardie tyd teen vroue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit stop egter nie net daar nie, nee, op 18 en 19 Oktober is Elzana ook genooi om deel te neem aan \u2019n Top Women Conference wat aangebied word deur Standard Bank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk wil vroue aanmoedig en hulle herinner dat hulle stemme het. Hulle tel en is belangrik.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
