Uit die dae van Dingaan, mag ‘n koning se spoeg nooit op die grond geval het die. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy het ‘n spoegvanger gehad wat die spoeg moes vang voordat dit op die grond kon val, en dit dan as ‘n eerbetoon oor sy lyf moes smeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So word vertel in die boek Die Spoegvanger<\/em>, geskryf deur Stefanus Vivier. Die titel is eintlik ‘n metafoor. Die boek handel oor ‘n spesiale vriendskap van ‘n wit seun met ‘n Xhosa seun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die seun se lewe word gevorm deur ‘n diep kentering, politiek, die kerk en godsdiens. Hy het na die vertellings van grootmense geluister en sy eie afleidings gemaak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die seun het ‘n fyn waarnemingsvermo\u00eb, en is vasgevang in ‘n w\u00eareld van stilte, geheime en harde waarhede. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy pa is ‘n onderwyser, ‘n politikus-in-wording, en die draer van ‘n ideologie wat sy w\u00eareld inkleur. Maar dit is deur sy vriendskap met sy Xhosa maat dat hy iets van ‘n ander waarheid raaksien. Die boek lees maklik en mens is bewus daarvan dat die skrywer met j\u00f3\u00fa praat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Die boek is biografies, effens outobiografies,” s\u00ea Vivier. “Die storie speel af op ‘n plaas in die Vredefort distrik in die jare van 1958-1976. Dis geskryf uit ‘n kind se perspektief wat grootmens afleidings maak. Dis ‘n na\u00efewe evaluering van die waarheid. Dis bedoel vir lesers oor ‘n bre\u00eb spektrum \u2013 jonk tot oud. Dis nie diep of tegnies nie, maar lighartig \u2013 om die w\u00eareld met ander o\u00eb te sien,” verduidelik hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
