By die kerk, in winkels en selfs rondom die braaivleisvuur het Ludewick Rab\u00e9 altyd sy kli\u00ebnte van die Poskantoor bygestaan, en d\u00edt is wat menige Hermanus-inwoner nou gaan mis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rab\u00e9 tree nou n\u00e1 meer as 38 jaar se diens by die Poskantoor af, en hy sien uit na di\u00e9 nuwe fase in sy lewe. \u201cEk gaan vir \u2019n ruk nie aan werk dink nie, net rus en \u2019n bietjie aan myself werk,\u201d vertel hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy loopbaan in die poskantoor het in die stad begin, waarna hy in 1994 na die possentrum in Goodwood oorgeplaas is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2009 is hy na Hermanus verplaas. \u201cEk het my hele beroepslewe in die Poskantoor gewerk, waar ek onder andere die bestuurder van posaflewering was. Ek het al baie dinge in my lewe in die Poskantoor beleef, maar ek bly lojaal teen my werkgewer, want dit was ook van die beste tye in my lewe.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Voorval wat hy seker nooit sal vergeet nie, is toe een van sy kli\u00ebnte \u2019n pakkie kom haal het en die pakkie toe beskadig is . . . \u201c \u2019n Man het rooiwyn deur die pos bestel, maar die verskaffers het nooit op die boks aangedui dat die pakkie versigtig hanteer moet word nie. Die dag toe die kli\u00ebnt die pakkie kom haal, het omtrent al die wyn uitgeloop. Hy was nie gelukkig nie en ons kantoor het na wyn gestink,\u201d vertel hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy passie vir sy werk, kli\u00ebnte en werkgewer ken geen gelyke nie en dit is nie snaaks dat sy kollegas, vriende en selfs sy kli\u00ebnte sy lof besing nie. \u201cVan my oudkollegas het altyd vir my kom hallo s\u00ea as hulle deur Hermanus na Franskraal of ander vakansiebestemmings reis. Ek is ook gereeld by die kerk, gesellighede en selfs in die supermark deur kli\u00ebnte voorgekeer, wat wou weet waar hul pakkies is of net raad wou h\u00ea. Ek het glad nie omgegee as so iets met my gebeur nie; dit was vir my net \u2019n plesier om hulle by te staan. Vir my was dit nie my werk nie, maar my passie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy vertel verder dat niemand sy naam tot onlangs geken het nie. \u201cDie meeste mense het my op my van genoem, en so ses jaar gelede het hulle my op my naam begin noem. Miskien is dit omdat dit so moeilik is om uit te spreek. Dit is van Duitse oorsprong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Net soos Rab\u00e9 het sy vrou ook \u2019n passie vir dit wat sy doen. \u201cSusan werk al 37 jaar in die staatshospitaal en ek skerts gereeld daaroor dat sy liewer vir verpleging en haar pasi\u00ebnte is as vir my, want hulle kom altyd eerste. Ek gee nie om nie, want ek kan sien dit maak haar gelukkig,\u201d vertel hy. Volgens hom gaan Susan nie nou aftree nie en gaan dit vir hom vreemd wees om die roete na die hospitaal toe te ry sonder om by die Poskantoor te stop. \u201cEk het my sleutel Vrydag (31 Maart) ingehandig. Dit was baie emosioneel en ek weet dit gaan vir my moeilik wees om my van die Poskantoor los te maak,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wat hy die meeste gaan mis, is om kli\u00ebnte te bedien en hulle behulpsaam te wees. \u201cOm kli\u00ebnte gelukkig te sien en om probleme op te los, was definitief een van my passies terwyl ek in die Poskantoor gewerk het,\u201d vertel hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rab\u00e9 wil nie net op sy louere rus noudat hy afgetree is nie en wil graag oefen. Hy is op soek na \u2019n fiets om fiks en gesond te bly. Enigeen wat dalk \u2019n fiets wil verkoop, kan hom by 083 719 6831 bel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
