\u201cHy was \u2019n ongelooflike pa. Ek, my suster en my broer het die voorreg gehad om hom as \u2019n pa te ken, waar baie ander mense hom in sy teologiese hoedanigheid gesien het.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3 beskryf Jaco Durand, seun van die geliefde teoloog en akademikus, professor Johannes Jacobus (Jaap) Fourie Durand, die dood van sy pa Maandagmiddag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Durand is, volgens Jaco, op 24 Januarie omstreeks 16:30 by sy huis in Stellenbosch in sy slaap in die ouderdom van 87 oorlede. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Durand is op 5 Junie 1934 in die Vrystaat gebore. Hy was \u2019n vooraanstaande akademikus, teoloog, skrywer, anti-apart\u00adheidsaktivis en die eerste viserektor van die Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland (UWK). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDeur sy lewe en loopbaan het hy beduidende bydraes gelewer om Suid-Afrika te verenig en hom uitgespreek teen die ongeregtighede van ons verlede,\u201d het die Stellenbosch-burgemeester, Gesie van Deventer, in \u2019n mediaverklaring ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Julie 2021 het Durand die ereburgerskap-toekenning uit erkenning vir sy uitstaande bydrae tot die gemeenskap van die Stellenbosch munisipale gebied ontvang. Hy het, voordat hy aangestel is as professor in sistematiese teologie by die UWK, sy loopbaan as \u2019n minister in die Transkei begin. Nie kort daarna nie is hy in 1981 as die viserektor aangestel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie UWK treur oor die heengaan van een van sy bekendes wat dapper teen die apartheidsregime geveg het en instrumenteel was in die oprigting van die instelling se mees geskiedkundige geboue,\u201d het die universiteit in \u2019n mediaverklaring ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Durand was ook nou betrokke by die oprig van UWK se biblioteek en het selfs die argitek oortuig om \u2019n glasbaksteen in die vloer van die biblioteek in te bou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy het verduidelik dat hy wou h\u00ea die lig van die biblioteek se glasplafon moet die baksteen tot in die donker ouditorium in die kelder deurdring. Dit dien om 16 Junie 1976 \u2013 Soweto-studente-opstand \u2013 te herdenk en om die UWK-studente te onthou wat teen apartheid geveg het,\u201d lui die mediaverklaring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
