IN \u2019n instapkluis, binne-in \u2019n blikkie in \u2019n banksakkie, is die trouring opgespoor wat \u2019n gemeente in Jeffreysbaai <\/p>\n\n\n\n
18 jaar gelede aan die gons gehad het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 trouring wat tussen die geld in die NG kerk se kollektebord was, was tot onlangs nog \u2019n raaisel \u2013 Tot Jacques du Plessis op Facebook gebieg en ges\u00ea het dit was sy trouring wat hy saam met sy geld in die kollektebord gesit het om sy egskeiding te verwerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ds. Evert de Kock het verlede week ges\u00ea hy onthou die ringraaisel nog goed, maar hulle kon die ring nie dadelik by die kerk opspoor nie. Hy het dieselfde dag nog onderneem om die ring op te spoor voordat hy in Januarie aftree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die afgelope week het De Kock sy woord gestand gedoen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie ring was altyd hier in veilige bewa-ring in die kluis,\u201d s\u00ea De Kock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nadat De Kock die gemeente destyds van die preekstoel af ingelig het oor die ring wat tussen die munte en note beland het \u2013 met die idee dat die ring dalk van iemand se vinger afgeglip het \u2013 is die ring in die kerk se kluis geb\u00eare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die kerkbestuur het nooit die briefie ge-sien wat Du Plessis later in die kollektebord gesit het om die situasie te verduidelik nie.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Intussen het die kerkkantoor geskuif, met \u2019n groter kluis, waarin die ring in \u2019n blikkie saam verhuis het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2019n Soektog na die ring in die twee instapkluise was suksesvol en gister het Du Plessis en De Kock mekaar by die kerkkantoor ontmoet om oor die trouring te praat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMet alle respek, ek het nie gedink die ring sal n\u00e1 al die jare nog hier wees nie,\u201d skerts Du Plessis voordat De Kock hom die ring gee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Du Plessis haal die ring uit die banksakkie, steek dit aan sy vinger en kyk \u2019n sekonde daarna voordat hy dit met \u2019n glimlag afhaal, vir De Kock teruggee en s\u00ea: \u201cEk het die ring lankal vir die kerk gegee. Die hele doel van die ring was daai tyd ook om maar net die geld vir iemand te gee wat dit nodig het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n De Kock lag: \u201cEk onthou die mense het baie vrae gehad oor die ring, en hier sit Jacques, die ou bogger.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die ring sal nou aan die kerk se finansi\u00eble departement oorhandig word wat dit sal verkoop en op Du Plessis se versoek sal die geld aan behoeftige mense geskenk word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit het 18 jaar geneem om uit te vind aan wie die ring behoort, maar alles ge-beur op die regte tyd,\u201d s\u00ea De Kock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IN \u2019n instapkluis, binne-in \u2019n blikkie in \u2019n banksakkie, is die trouring opgespoor wat \u2019n gemeente in
