\u2019n Raakvatter, staatmaker en held; iemand wat die gees van Nelson Mandela in sy gemeenskap uitgeleef en diep spore in die lewe van di\u00e9 met wie sy pad gekruis het, gelaat het . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3 is wyle dr. Richard de Villiers (55) Maandag (18 Julie) onthou tydens \u2019n boomplantseremonie by Koloniesland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Stellenbosch-gemeenskap is verlede Woensdag n\u00e1 sy skielike dood in groot skok gelaat. De Villiers, medestigter en hoof van die Stellenbosch Trail Fund (STF) is aan hartversaking dood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die spesiale boomplantseremonie is op Mandeladag gehou om De Villiers se lewe en ook sy bydrae as aktiewe burger in Stellenbosch te gedenk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die raadslid Carli van Wyk van die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit, wat die seremonie help organiseer het, het De Villiers as \u201c \u2019n groot boom wat geval het\u201d beskryf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Holden Marshall, \u2019n direkteur van die STF, het aan Eikestadnuus<\/em> vertel dat De Villiers altyd probeer het om mense te help sonder om erkenning daarvoor te vra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn sy beroep as radioloog, byvoorbeeld, het hy baie mense gehelp sonder om \u2019n sent te vra, maar dan sou hy vir hulle s\u00ea hulle moet in ruil daarvoor iets aan die gemeenskap teruggee, soos as jy kon bak, sou hy jou vra om vir iemand \u2019n koek te bak in ruil vir sy gratis diens.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n De Villiers was \u2019n internasionaal erkende radioloog in sport en het al verskeie kere vir die Nieu-Seelandse All Blacks en ander internasionale sportspanne konsulteer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens Marshall was De Villiers passievol oor die natuur en ekotoerisme \u2013 veral in die Stellenbosch-omgewing. \u201cDie Ou Landbousaal was een van Richard se projekte. Die plek was vervalle. Hier het allerhande verkeerde goed gebeur, soos dwelmhandel. Hy was die een wat besluit het om dit te herstel; hy het inisiatief geneem. Vandag is die plek opgeknap en sake word hier gedoen. Dit is nou danksy Richard \u2019n toerisme-aantreklikheid en hy het nooit erkenning gevra nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens Marshall was dit De Villiers se gewilligheid en entoesiasme dat die Eersterivier tussen Koloniesland en Paul Roos nuwe lewe gekry het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJy kon nie juis hier by die rivier loop nie; dit was glad nie veilig nie. Die bosse het wild gestaan en jy kon skaars die water sien. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDeur STF het Richard die bosse laat sny, die vullis opgetel, bankies opgerig, paadjies uitgel\u00ea en vullisdromme opgesit. Ons het inheemse bome begin plant en aanwysigingsbordjies langs die rivier aangebring sodat stappers en fietsryers kon sien waar hulle is,\u201d voeg hy by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marshall het De Villiers in 2016 ontmoet toe hulle fiets gery het. De Villiers was \u2019n bekende in die fietsrygemeenskap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens Marshall het De Villiers hom ingetrek om by die STF betrokke te raak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk het eintlik kom aftree hier. Maar Richard het my o\u00eb oopgemaak; my laat besef ons moet nie net vir onsself leef nie; dat ons meer gemeenskapsge\u00f6rienteerd moet leef. Dit het my diep geraak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens Marshall sal hy De Villiers onthou as iemand wat onselfsugtig en tot voordeel van ander en die gemeenskap opgetree het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dawid Botha van Stellenbosch-fietsry het ges\u00ea De Villiers was \u2019n man van durf en deursettingsvermo\u00eb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs hoof van die Stellenbosch Trail Fund was hy nie net bekend vir die netwerk van fiets-, draf- en stap-paadjies wat teen die hange van Stellenboschberg en elders uitgel\u00ea is nie, maar hy sal ook vir die opruim, paadjies en ruim boomaanplantings langs die Eersterivier \u2013 veral in Koloniesland \u2013 onthou word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unathi Msophi, \u2019n bestuurder by STF, het ges\u00ea hy het De Villiers as \u2019n vriend gesien. \u201cEk het hom nooit as my baas beskou nie. Ons was beste vriende by die werk en selfs n\u00e1 werk, maar daar was natuurlik perke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns het mekaar se verskille gerespekteer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Msophi meen De Villiers was \u2019n katalisator en s\u00ea sy liefde vir ander sal onthou word. \u201cSy onvoorwaardelike liefde, omgee en liefde vir veral fietsry, en sy manier van altyd uit die pad uit gaan vir ander, sal altyd onthou word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n De Villiers laat sy vrou, ouers en suster agter sowel as \u2019n spoor in baie ander wat hom geken het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
