N\u00c1 31 jaar diens by die Hofmeyr-landdroskantoor, het Maria (Lien) Abrahams aan die einde van Januarie afgetree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1 soveel jare op die klein dorpie, kan sy vele stories van gebeurtenisse by die landdroskantoor en hof vertel, maar dit is haar getuienis rondom die mense saam met wie sy deur die jare hier in Hofmeyr gewerk het, wat besonders is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het op 1 Maart 1989 op Hofmeyr by die landdroskantoor begin werk in die termyn van landdros Johan Vermeulen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy praat met besondere eerbied ook van Rita Vorster, wat die destydse klerk van die hof was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nadat Vermeulen verplaas is, het die landdros van Molteno twee keer \u2019n week deurgery om hofsake te kom doen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy was \u2019n man van min woorde, wat vinnig deur die hofsake gedraf het,\u201d s\u00ea Lien. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Koos Marais, landdros vanaf Steynsburg, is later aangestel en opgevolg deur Des Krummeck vanaf Dordrecht. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy is na Tarkastad verplaas en is tans die Kinderhoflanddros in Komani,\u201d s\u00ea Lien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Krummeck en sy gesin was ook die laaste inwoners van die historiese residensie op Hofmeyr, wat nog gebou was vir die vader van die skryfster, Iris Vaughan, in 1902. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cecil Roger Vaughan was Hofmeyr se landdros vanaf 1898 tot 1904. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die historiese residensie is egter nou net \u2019n murasie nadat houtdiewe alle balke, deure, plafonne en vloere gesteel het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nadat Landdros Krummeck vertrek het, is Canny Mjuza as kantoorhoof aangestel en sy is voltyds beskikbaar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Landdros Joe Els vanaf Tarkastad is tot op datum steeds die deeltydse landdros op Hofmeyr. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die koraalpienk Victoriaanse geboue van die departement van justisie is \u2019n bekende landmerk in Voortrekkerstraat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lien s\u00ea, \u201cEk het elke oomblik van my lewe hier by die landdroskantoor terde\u00eb geniet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk kyk nou met vreugde terug na die kosbare tye en kosbare mense wat ek deur die jare hier leer ken het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lien s\u00ea sy wil nogsteeds betrokke bly in Hofmeyr se gemeenskap en van nut wees vir die dorp se mense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daarom beplan sy om nou, n\u00e1 haar aftrede, haar dienste aan te bied vir Hofmeyr Hugs of Hope. Dit is \u2019n projek wat mense se vaardighede op die dorp help ontwikkel om sodoende te help om hoop vir \u2019n beter toekoms te skep.. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
