Hierdie was nie &#8216;n normale skaakspel nie. Hulle het ver van mekaar af gewoon en per brief gekommunikeer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Een persoon sou sy skuif op sy skaakbord maak en dit dan in &#8216;n brief uiteensit en aan sy vriend pos. Die ander persoon sou daardie skuif op sy skaakbord maak en dan weer sy skuif op sy eie skaakbord aan sy vriend stuur. Hierdie skaakspelery het vir meer as vyf dekades aangehou.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ek kan myself voorstel dat daar, in afwagting op die volgende posstuk, verskillende scenario&#8217;s uitgewerk is en moontlike skaakskuiwe gevisualiseer is.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vandag leef ons in &#8216;n kitsw\u00eareld: kitskos, kitspos, kitsoplossings, kitskommunikasie en kitsverhoudinge.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ons het afgeleer om te wag en uit te stel. Die meeste mense kyk dadelik op hul selfoon of na hul e-pos sodra &#8216;n boodskap sy opwagting maak. Daar word in baie gevalle weer dadelik geantwoord. Dit is nie noodwendig verkeerd nie; dit is die era waarin ons nou leef.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mense raak soms moeg en oorweldig van al die inligting wat hul pad kruis. Daar is min wegkomkans in hierdie kitskommunikasie-era. Jou selfoon en skootrekenaar gaan oral saam. Mense moet jou enige tyd in die hande kan kry, anders veroorsaak jy verwarring en wanhoop.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;n Hele paar mense het vertel hoe hulle die vakansie gerus het deur hul selfoon en skootrekenaar weg te b\u00eare, of so min as moontlik tyd daarmee deur te bring. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Persoonlik meen ek mense moet weet waar die grens is, maar dit is ongelukkig nie altyd die geval nie. Boodskappe van enige aard kom op enige tyd by jou uit. Dit is nie altyd positief of gesond nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uiteindelik is dit ook weer &#8216;n kwessie van balans \u2013 iets wat so belangrik is, maar so moeilik is om te handhaaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lees nog rubrieke <a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/opinion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hier<\/a> en<a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/opinion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> hier<\/a>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ons het afgeleer om te wag.

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty) Ltd","foundingDate":"2025-01-01","vatID":"4100318916","taxID":"2000\/018234\/07","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":"51","maxValue":"200"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/#\/schema\/person\/e08d7630612634c4a5ced5db09b6608f","name":"Noordkaap Bulletin","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-ZA","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a99daa5b340dd77d269e8375259ff19cc6329797ffcecb12b900fcfff3ce0bea?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a99daa5b340dd77d269e8375259ff19cc6329797ffcecb12b900fcfff3ce0bea?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a99daa5b340dd77d269e8375259ff19cc6329797ffcecb12b900fcfff3ce0bea?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Noordkaap Bulletin"},"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/author\/noordkaapbulletin\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pexels-photo-6599549.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":300935,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/potpourri-die-dag-mag-jy-maar-liberties-vat-en-met-oorgawe-leef\/","url_meta":{"origin":296514,"position":0},"title":"POTPOURRI | Di\u00e9 dag mag jy maar &#8216;liberties&#8217; vat en met oorgawe l\u00e9\u00e9f","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"28 May 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"\"Op jou verjaardag mag jy nie pak kry nie,\" het sy altyd ges\u00ea.
