Rooyma is opnuut dankbaar vir die mense om haar nadat sy amper &#8216;n week uit sosiale sirkulasie was weens &#8216;n &#8220;hardnekkige&#8221; (Rooypa se woord) kuggie en verkouesimptome onder haar kroos. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haar Rooymiertjies is ook dankbaar vir ander mense, want &#8220;Teacher Mommy&#8221; se nerwe was met tye dun en haar lont kort \u2013 totdat sy eindelik voet buite die pastorie-palisades gesit het. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die tafelvol Brei-en-Babbel-tannies bemoedig Rooyma wanneer die Rooymiertjies se maniertjies wil-wil hand uitruk. Soms tree hulle selfs vir die kindertjies in en stel &#8216;n verslapping in Rooyma se ystergreep voor. Die deel van doepas en boererate is so tuis soos koek en wol in di\u00e9 geselskap.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;n Impromptu-uitnodiging van vriende na &#8216;n nabygele\u00eb Portugese restaurant word verwelkom n\u00e1 wat voel soos &#8216;n lang dag van sneesdoekies, loopneuse en opvoeding. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daar is min eliksers soos saamlag en -kuier, en selfs &#8220;inligting uitruil&#8221;, om &#8216;n mogge-troffe-gees op te beur.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tydens een van Rooyma se kort-lont-oomblikke nooi Rooypa haar wys vir &#8216;n &#8220;stappie om die blok&#8221;. D\u00edt kan soms tot &#8216;n uur neem. Veral as lidmate teegekom word. Deur &#8216;n oop bakkievenster word enigiets van resepte tot Valentynsdag-idees uitgeruil. Di\u00e9 soort interaksies, saam met die endorfiene van oefening, speel gou klaar met Rooyma se nukkerigheid.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In die koerant lees Rooyma oor Johannesburg se waterlose haarkappers. Afgesien van hul moedeloosheid, inspireer die mense se planne en humor haar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dit is toe sy weer besef: Mense het mekaar nodig. Danksy Ouma Lappies kan plofbare situasies de\u00ebskaleer wanneer die Rooymiere in haar sorg geneem word sodat hul ouers &#8220;tekkies-terapie&#8221; kan kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die wonder van &#8216;n onwelkome pes, is die insig wat daarop volg: Ons het mekaar nodig.<\/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\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daar is min eliksers soos saamlag en -kuier, en selfs &#8220;inligting uitruil&#8221;, om &#8216;n mogge-troffe-gees op te beur.

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\/03\/krakenimages-Y5bvRlcCx8k-unsplash.jpg","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":297429,"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.
