Sy is geliefd onder baie. Waar sy gaan, maak sy \u2019n verskil \u2013 of dit nou in die gemeenskap is of vriende se gemoed; as jy Ren\u00e9 Hartslief aan jou kant het, dan weet jy dinge gebeur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ren\u00e9 was die afgelope tyd betrokke by die restourasie van die walvis op die Markplein. Saam met Tertius van Dyk en Patrick Anele het hulle nuwe lewe aan die Suidelike Noordkapper gegee. Maar waar kom haar belangstelling in haar gemeenskap vandaan? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is iemand wat daarvan hou om \u2019n positiewe rol in die gemeenskap te vervul en glo dat elke klein bietjie ekstra moeite wat jy in jou gemeenskap doen, mettertyd iets groots kan word. Hermanus l\u00ea my na aan die hart en ek wil graag die gemeenskap bevoordeel,\u201d vertel sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 64-jarige woon al die afgelope ses jaar in Hermanus en sal hierdie pragtige kusdorp vir niks verruil nie. Haar merkwaardige CV sal menige inwoner na hul asem laat snak. Sy was die uitgewer van verskeie reis- en toerismeprodukte, is \u2019n merkwaardige fotograaf, bemarker en geleentheidsbeplanner en selfs \u2019n rolprentvervaardiger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het nie net by die Republikeinse Pers gewerk nie; ek was die uitgewer, redakteur en eienaar van The Best of KZN & Beyond<\/i>, The Best of Ehlanzeni, The Best of SA & Beyond<\/i>, National Bride<\/i>, Food & Beverage Guide, Zambia Review of Commerce, Trade, Industry & Tourism en<\/span> Tanzania Review of Commerce, Trade, Industry & Tourism<\/i>,\u201d vertel sy trots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy is ook betrokke by die re\u00ebl van verskeie feeste in en rondom Hermanus \u2013die suksesvolle Duitse fees wat in 2019 aangebied was en die Hermanus-fees van verlede jaar wat op kykNET uitgesaai is, getuig van haar vermo\u00eb om van feeste en geleenthede \u2019n sukses te maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Verder is sy ook \u2019n graderingsbeampte en het tot 2015 by die Suid-Afrikaanse toerismegraderingsraad gewerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk is ook \u2019n sportfanatikus en het op skool enigiets van muurbal en sagtebal tot hokkie gespeel,\u201d vertel sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens Ren\u00e9 is dit ook een van die redes waarom sy so baie van Hermanus hou, want hier is iets vir almal om te doen \u2013 of jy \u2019n natuurliefhebber is, of iemand is wat van sport hou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ren\u00e9 se passie vir die lewe weerspie\u00ebl in al die projekte wat sy aanpak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nie net is sy uitstekend in beplanning en organisering nie, maar sy werk uitstekend onder druk, is positief en entoesiasties oor enige projek wat sy aanpak en sy l\u00ea baie klem op die fynste detail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n En, soos sy dit stel, het sy \u2019n kleintjie dood aan onregverdigheid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy vertel opgewonde dat sy nog baie idees het om toeriste na Hermanus te lok, maar sy wil nie nou reeds die aap uit die mou laat nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHermanus en sy mense is uniek en om deel van die gemeenskap te wees, is iets wat die inwoners nie as vanselfsprekend moet aanvaar nie. Ons woon in die mooiste gedeelte van die w\u00eareld, en dit is vir my \u2019n plesier om Hermanus my \u2018tuiste\u2019 te noem.\u201d. <\/span>Inwoners is gevra om \u2019n naam vir die Suidelike noordkapper op die Markplein te gee. <\/i>Almal was dit eens dat di\u00e9 walvis Wendy moet heet. <\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n \n Volgens oorlewering was Wendy \u2019n alleenlopende walvis wat in die jare dertigs in Hermanus uitgespoel het. <\/i>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n Omtrent die hele dorp het destyds byeengekom om haar weer in die see te kry. Wendy het jaar n\u00e1 jaar na Hermanus teruggekeer en sy is as deel van die gemeenskap gesien.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sy is geliefd onder baie.
