IN die vroe\u00eb 19de eeu het Jan FE Cilliers gedig: Ek hou van \u2018n man wat sy man kan staan; Ek hou van \u2018n arm wat \u2018n slag kan slaan; \u2018n oog wat nie wyk, wat \u2018n bars kan kyk; en \u2019n wil wat so vas soos \u2018n klipstaan staan . . .<\/p>\n
Hy kon net sowel oor Rieghard Janse van Rensburg van Jeffreysbaai geskryf het. Maar hy is ook \u2019n man met soveel drif vir verskeie sake wat elkeen sy veelkantigheid weerspie\u00ebl.<\/p>\n
Ongeag die omvang van sy werksverpligtinge en belange, kuier hy gemaklik. Hy lag, gesels onderhou-dend oor sy passie vir die see, fotografie, hardloop, kennis en mens-wees. <\/p>\n
Rieghard praat met trots van sy 15-jarige seun en 13-jarige dogter – en oor Eidie (AD), sy pragvrou sedert hulle in 2000 by Walskipper ge-troud is, en sakevennoot.<\/p>\n
Hy is 46, oorspronklik van Despatch, maar het in Gauteng beland. Sy pa was in tersi\u00eare opvoeding betrokke, dus het hy en sy sibbe almal gegradueer, \u201choewel nie een nou naastenby doen waarvoor ons studeer het nie,\u201d lag Rieghard wat \u2019n BComm Rekeningkunde van die Universiteit van Pretoria agter sy naam het.<\/p>\n
In Pretoria het Rieghard homself in die korporatiewe w\u00eareld laat geld. Vakansies was altyd by Boknes of Jeffreysbaai, maar elke keer as hulle moes teruggaan, het dit bietjie moeiliker geword. Uiteindelik het sy gesin hulle in 2008 permanent in Jeffreysbaai kom vestig.<\/p>\n
\n Fotografie<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Ons het altyd foto\u2019s geneem, vertel hy. \u201cEk het vir my pa ges\u00ea dat \u2019n videokamera wat hy oorsee koop, net syne is tot hy in die land terug is \u2013 dan is dit myne.\u201d <\/p>\n
Dit was eers \u2018n \u201chobby\u201d, maar in 1993 het hy van sy vriende se troues begin afneem. En toe hy vir Eidie ontmoet, het sy ook belanggestel. Dit het na aandklasse by die destydse College of Photography in Pretoria gelei. Hulle is werklik \u2018hands on\u2019, meen hy. <\/p>\n
Die paar het begin troues afneem, en Eidie het babas gekiek. Vir vier jaar was dit \u2019n gunsteling stokperd-jie, maar in 2008 het Rieghard besluit hy het genoeg van die korpo-ratiewe w\u00eareld gehad. \u201cEk het 24 uur kennis gegee, en \u2019n week later was ons in Jeffreysbaai om van \u2018scratch\u2019 af te begin.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rieg & AD (RRAD) se werk is innoverend en hul kunstige en kun- dige o\u00eb bied \u2019n eiesoortige blik deur die kameralens. Om \u2018n fotograaf op Jeffreysbaai te wees, is radikaal mededingend, maar tien jaar se harde werk het sukses gebring. <\/p>\n
\u201c\u2019n Graad van 20 jaar terug beteken met vandag se tegnologie min. Dit gaan ook nie net oor jou vaardighede nie, maar oor h\u00f3\u00e9 jy met mense werk,\u201d s\u00ea hy. \u201cJy moet intens met mense \u201cconnect\u201d om hulle in beeld vas te vang, hul emosies en die geleentheid outentiek weer te gee.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hardloop<\/p>\n
Rieghard se doel om fikser te wees, het in 2012 na die Trans Baviaans gelei, maar sy hardlopery het uiteindelik \u2019n fondsinsameling vir seeredding geword. Hy kon R50 000 binne 18 maande so insamel. <\/p>\n
Daar was twee Comrades en verskeie ander, soos sy breinkind, Endurade JBayX Trail Run, wat vir die vyfde jaar deel van die Winterfest in Julie is (met die Corona Open JBay World Surf League). Op sosiale media besing \u2019n vrou die wedloop van 3x20km in 24 uur so: \u201cUitstekend beplan, beman en georganiseerd\u201d.<\/p>\n
Die groot een was The Munga Trail. \u201cDit is soos om byna \u2019n Comrades Marathon elke dag vir vyf dae te hardloop,\u201d verduidelik Rieghard. \u201cDit verg bomenslike uithouvermo\u00eb, deursetting en voortdurende kopskuiwe. As \u2018n deelnemer uitval, is hy op homself aangewese \u2013 sonder ondersteuning.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk was perfek voorbereid op die uitdaging, maar nie op die nadraai nie. Ek het vir 18 maande daarna nie gehardloop nie, want w\u00e1t is \u2018n groter uitdaging as so \u2019n enorme wedren? Eers op my verjaardag vroeg vanjaar het ek die \u201cluiheid\u201d laat staan, en weer weggetrek.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n NSRI<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Rieghard se grootste rol is in die beveiliging van die Kouga as voorsitter van die Nasionale Seereddingsinstituut Stasie 37 (Jeffreysbaai). Dit is so \u2019n merkwaardige storie want dit is deur sy toedoen dat Jeffreysbaai enigsins \u2018n stasie het. <\/p>\n
Twee maande gelede het Rieghard die Best RIP Station of the Year award by die 2019 NSRI AGM ontvang. Hy beskou dit as een van sy uitstaanoomblikke. Hy het die span ge\u00eber wat hulle tyd opoffer om die plaaslike gemeenskap vrywillig te dien. \u201cDit waarvan die publiek oor ons doen en late weet, is net die puntjie van die ysberg. Dit is \u2019n fe-nomenale onderneming met 80 vrywilligers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Net na die toekenning is Rieghard na die IMRF\u2019s (International Maritime Rescue Federation) 4th annual World Maritime Rescue Conference in Vancouver, Kanada. <\/p>\n
Die merkwaardige man is pure yster, maar agter die kamera tower hy skoonheid op.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
