Joha van Dyk het as gr. 2-leerder agter \u2019n rekenaar, wat deur haar broer herbou is, ingeskuif, begin skryf en nooit opgehou nie. Sy het toe reeds gedroom om \u2019n boek te skryf \u2013 \u2019n droom wat sy in 2020 met Branderjaer<\/em>, die eerste boek in die Branderjaer<\/em>-sage, verwesenlik het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September het die Stellenbosser die derde boek in die reeks, Kan Nie Dood<\/em>, bekend gestel. Dit volg kort op die hakke van Vuurvreter<\/em>, wat in 2022 gepubliseer is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Di\u00e9 26-jarige jeugskrywer is opgewonde om haar nuwe werk met lesers te deel, veral omdat die temas van die Branderjaer-sage relevant vir vandag se samelewing is. \u201cEk kyk na Suid-Afrikaanse bendekultuur, rape culture<\/em>, geslagsgeweld, geestesgesondheid (onder meer posttraumatiese stresversteuring en angs) en seksualiteit, om \u2019n paar te noem,\u201d vertel Van Dyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk dink persoonlik ook die karakters is baie relatable<\/em> en sorg dat mense wil aanhou lees. Hulle is vir my reeds so werklik en hul struggles<\/em>; hul trials<\/em> en tribulations<\/em> raak vir my soveel soos dit hulle raak. Hulle het uiteenlopende, unieke persoonlikhede en is so multi-faceted<\/em>, ek dink elke leser kan iets van hulself in elk van die karakters vind. Jy wil weet wat gaan met hulle gebeur. Jy wil weet of hulle hierdie sal kan uit-figure<\/em> en waarnatoe hulle op pad is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Meer oor die Branderjaer-sage<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Die idee vir die Branderjaer<\/em>-sage is met die skrywer, Joha van Dyk, se 21ste verjaardag gebore. Sy en haar gesin het die rooibus-toer in Kaapstad gedoen toe sy die woord \u201cbranderjaer\u201d gehoor en in haar notaboek neergeskryf het.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201c\u2009\u2019n Paar maande later het ek weer die woord in my notaboek raakgesien,\u201d vertel Van Dyk. \u201cEk het \u2019n gevoel gehad ek moes iets daarmee doen en het toe in \u2019n blokkiesraaisel-woordeboek rondgeblaai vir prompts<\/em>, enigiets om net vir my idees te gee of wat my in \u2019n rigting kan stuur. Ek kom toe op die woord \u2018ekstremis\u2019 af en langs dit was die woorde \u2018kanniedood\u2019, \u2018vuurvreter\u2019, \u2018stokebrand\u2019, \u2018bittereinder\u2019 en \u2018klipvreter\u2019. Ek besef toe?.?.?. hier is my karakters. Van daar af het ek deur gesprekke, flieks en net die verloop van lewe die res van die verhaal ontwikkel.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Branderjaer<\/em>, die eerste boek, stel die leser voor aan die Jaers, meeste van die karakters, Stormbaai, die politiek en die groot antagoniste.<\/p>\n

\n

Vuurvreter<\/em>, die tweede boek, stel die leser voor aan die mitologie en die mistieke elemente rondom Stormbaai, asook Chancer Bay. \u201cJy kan effe dieper in die politiek in delf en hopelik tot die afleiding kom dat daar n\u00f3g kragtiger figure in die agtergrond is wat nog nie by Stormbaai se onderw\u00eareld betrokke is nie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Vir Van Dyk is die derde boek in die sage, Kanniedood<\/em>, die letterlike en figuurlike vonk van die rewolusie, die rebellie van die Jaers. \u201cDie Branderjaers se torment binne Breekwater, binne die Arena, het begin met Kalla Palmer se aanval en oorlewing. Kalla is moeg van bloot oorleef, veral wanneer haar pa \u2013 die bendeleier van die Urchins \u2013 terugkeer na Breekwater en skynbaar \u2019n bende-oorlog wil begin.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cNatuurlik word die Branderjaers hierby ingesleep \u2013 alhoewel ingesleep dalk verkeerd is. Dis hulle instink om te help, te ondersteun. Hulle is broers, familie. En sommige van hulle is baie ywerig om brand te stook.<\/p>\n

\u201cKanniedood <\/em>is dus die vonk. Die bendes begin aktief raak en die tieners raak baie meer betrokke as wat hulle was.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Van Dyk is in Kleinzee, \u2019n klein dorp in Namakwaland, gebore en het op die familieplaas Steenvlei, net buite Kleinzee, grootgeword. As plaaskind het sy van jongs af \u2019n goeie verbeelding gehad en sy het \u2019n liefde vir lees, diere en die natuur gekweek en gekoester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns het \u2019n gastehuis, Die Houthoop Gastehuis, op die plaas. Ek het dus van jongs af met baie interessante mense te doen gehad,\u201d vertel Van Dyk. \u201cBlykbaar het ek vir die gaste informele \u2018toere\u2019 van die plaas gegee en aan hulle allerhande stories vertel van die boerdery en gastehuis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy het in 2015 aan die Ho\u00ebrskool Stellenbosch gematrikuleer en daarna haar studies in BA Geestes\u00adwetenskappe aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch voortgesit. Daarna het sy \u2019n TEFL-kursus (die onderrig van Engels vir mense wat dit nie as moedertaal gebruik nie) deeltyds voltooi en haar honneursgraad in Engels cum laude geslaag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020 het Van Dyk haar meestersgraad in Engels aangedurf en dit ook cum laude geslaag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn 2021 het ek my PhD-voorstel geskryf en in 2022 het ek die eerste jaar van my doktorsgraad aangedurf. Ek is tans besig met my PhD in Engels. Dit handel oor Namakwalandse storievertelling en behels dat ek stories van Namakwalandse storievertellers versamel deur onderhoude met hulle te voer,\u201d s\u00ea Van Dyk. \u201cMeer spesifiek is ek op soek na verhale wat juis oor Kleinzee handel. Ek beskou dit as \u2019n geleentheid om terug te ploeg in my grootwordplek.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"kanniedood

<\/p>\n

Die omslag van Kanniedood deur Joha van Dyk.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Haar liefde vir skryf en stories het vroeg al begin, en sy het as gr. 2-leerder haar eerste poging gelewer. \u201cNeedless to say,<\/em> dit was nie great<\/em> nie, maar ek was nog altyd lief vir lees en vir stories vertel. Namakwaland het \u2019n groot storievertelkultuur, so ek het grootgeword met stories wat om my en aan my vertel word. My ouers het ook moeite gedoen om vir my te lees en \u2019n liefde vir boeke by my te kweek.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van Dyk beskryf haarself as skrywer as \u201cnuuskierig, paraat en entoesiasties\u201d. Sy skryf meestal fiksie vir jeugdiges, maar stel ook belang in digkuns en fiksie vir volwassenes; sy het ook \u2019n liefde vir fantasie en \u201cl<\/span>ife writing<\/span>\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In haar boek<\/span> Kan Nie Dood<\/em> keur Check Palmer, die afwesige leier van die Urchins, terug na Breekwater en is hy gereed om die Rotte se mag te knak. \u201cBeide Kalla en Ben is onder druk van hul pa om betrokke te raak by die Urchins se operasie, maar waar Ben dit probeer vermy, probeer Kalla kop eerste induik \u2013 die probleem is dat haar pa haar skynbaar nie ernstig opneem nie,\u201d vertel Van Dyk oor haar nuutste werk. \u201cSy besluit om sake in haar eie hande te neem en begin die Rotte se dwelm- en pornografie-caches<\/em> te target<\/em> . . . met vlamme.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van Dyk het einde verlede jaar aan die boek begin werk en was teen Februarie vanjaar kant en klaar. Die titel was een van die makliker besluite wat sy moes neem. \u201cEk het besluit dat elk van die Branderjaers se noemname hul titels sou wees. Kan Nie Dood<\/em> was die natuurlike volgende stap in die verloop van die groter verhaal van die Branderjaers,\u201d verduidelik sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy moedig jongmense aan om die boek te lees, want \u201cdis \u2019n goeie manier om jouself bloot te stel aan ander w\u00earelde en perspektiewe\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie reeks is aantreklik juis omdat jy boek vir boek die karakters beter leer ken, saam met hulle groei en grootwoord, saam met hulle juig en huil en baklei deur hul stryd in Stormbaai,\u201d s\u00ea Van Dyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watter raad het sy vir jong, aspirant-skrywers? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSkryf. As \u2019n jong skrywer het ek opgelet ek praat graag daaroor dat ek \u2019n skrywer wil wees en in \u2019n stadium moes ek besef, oukei wel, listen,<\/em> jy moet nou skryf. Jy moet nou actually<\/em> iets skryf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSkryf alles neer; hierdie reeks het ontstaan uit \u2019n woord wat ek gehoor het op \u2019n rooibus-toer, so as enigiets vir jou interessant klink of jou aandag trek, maak \u2019n nota daarvan. Dalk is dit eendag presies wat jy nodig het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMoenie bang wees om jou manuskrip in te stuur nie \u2013 doen goeie navorsing oor by wie jy wil uitgee. Neem hul kommentaar in ag. Edit<\/em>. Moenie bang wees vir kommentaar en redigering nie. Dis belangrik en dikwels weet hulle meer of beter \u2013 die meeste van die tyd. Stick to your guns when it\u2019s necessary<\/em>, maar weet ook wanneer om te buig. Dit sal \u2019n gut feeling<\/em> wees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En wat is volgende vir Joha van Dyk?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk is seker ek sal nog in die toekoms aanhou studeer, maar op die huidige oomblik wil ek net my navorsing klaarmaak en skryf-skryf-skryf!\u201d.<\/span> Kan Nie Dood<\/em> word deur Human & Rousseau uitgegee en is by die meeste boekwinkels en aanlyn beskikbaar. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
