Terwyl so baie mense moedeloos is oor die land, vertel Barend la Grange vir <\/strong>Erika de Beer<\/em><\/strong><\/span> hoe ons self hoop kan skep deur klein te dink en ons moue op te rol.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So sewe jaar gelede het Barend la Grange uiteindelik sy droom verwesenlik om oudpres. Kenneth Kaunda in Zambi\u00eb te ontmoet. In \u2019n lang kuier het La Grange vir Kaunda gevra wat dink hy van Jacob Zuma, toe nog president van Suid-Afrika.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHy\u2019t my so l\u00e1nk sit en kyk en hy antwoord my nie. Hy was 92 en sy verstand was nog helder, toe s\u00ea hy vir my net een ding: \u2018South Africa, you will have to rebuild\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit was sy enigste kommentaar oor Suid-Afrika. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEn ek s\u00ea vandag: We have to rebuild<\/em>. Dis ons oplossing. Everybody. Not only the government. We will have to rebuild.<\/em> Ons het iets om te rebuild<\/em>.\u201d Dis presies wat die 70-jarige La Grange nou doen, maar daar is baie onse in sy pond \u2013 ons almal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dink klein<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

La Grange verstaan hoe om groot te dink: N\u00e1 26 jaar by Sanlam het hy in 2001 as hoof van werknemersvoordele uitgetree en \u2019n risikobestuursonderneming begin. D\u00edt het hy in 2008 verkoop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nou is sy boodskap: Dink klein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy betrokkenheid by gemeenskapswerk kom al jare. Hy was uitvoerende adjunkhoof van Citizens in Partnership with Government. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit was \u2019n nieregerings\u00adorganisasie wat hom beywer het vir mense wat in die steek gelaat is, soos die regering maar geneig is om te doen, en gekyk het na sekere projekte en dat dit deur private inisiatiewe, maatskappye, geborg word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nie lank n\u00e1 die Kaunda-besoek nie het aartsbiskop Thabo Makgoba\u00ad en die sakeleier prof. Bonang Mohale vir La Grange genader om South Africa Day aan die gang te kry. Dit sou op dieselfde beginsels as Australia Day geskoei wees. La Grange het anders gedink:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\u201cEk dink nie dis die regte tyd om Suid-Afrika se prestasies te vier nie. Daar\u2019s te veel uitdagings: Ons ligte brand nie. Die infrastruktuur gaan agteruit. Korrupsie en staatskaping het hoogty gevier.\u201d<\/div>\n
Barend la Grange<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sy voorstel was dat dit mense eerder mobiliseer om verandering in die land teweeg te bring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns kan later jare vier wat ons bereik het, maar ons voel net die mense in Suid-Afrika is negatief, baie het nie hoop vir die land se toekoms nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deur di\u00e9 organisasie, asook die Privilege-stigting, waarby hy deesdae betrokke is, en Dialoog vir Aksie beywer hy hom saam met ander basies vir een ding: om hoop te skep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie oplossing vir ons probleme gaan nie van bo af kom nie. Dit gaan nie van Ramaphosa en die ANC-regering af kom nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daarom moet ons as Suid-Afrikaners eienaarskap van ons si\u00adtuasie vat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHierdie land is my land. Ek wil n\u00earens anders heen gaan nie. Ons kan nie net terugsit en moedeloos raak en s\u00ea \u2018ja, die regering, die regering\u2019 nie. Niks gaan verander nie, ons sien dit elke dag. Ons moet oplossings soek.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krisis as katalisator<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSoms moet jy \u2019n krisis gebruik om veranderings teweeg te bring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So was dit in Coligny in 2017 en Senekal in 2020. Die dood van die 16-jarige Matlhomola Moshoeu het die Noordwes-dorp laat brand en die moord op die 21-jarige plaasbestuurder Brendin Horner het die Oos-Vrystaatse gemeenskap in \u2019n kruitvat omskep. In Coligny en die township Tlhabologang, soos later in Senekal en Matwabeng, het die gemeenskap byeengekom en \u2019n vredesforum gestig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHulle het gesien: As ons nie by mekaar gaan uitkom nie, gaan ons mekaar uitwis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Africa Day het betrokke geraak by \u2019n projek wat op gemeenskaplike belange eerder as op verskille fokus \u2013 die CRPP-projek. C staan vir cleaning<\/em>, R staan vir repairing<\/em>, P vir painting <\/em>en P vir planting<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs jy daai vier dinge doen, dan het jy \u2019n nuwe dorp.\u201d Jy maak dit beleggingsvriendelik, toeristevriendelik en misdaadonvriendelik.\u201d \u2013 Barend la Grange<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Klein suksesse maak \u2019n mens positief, selfs in \u2019n omgewing wat nie positief lyk nie, s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie uitdagings in Suid-Afrika lyk so groot en dit \u00eds groot, maar as ons net na die groot dinge gaan kyk, dan raak ons later so moedeloos, dan doen ons niks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns kan hierdie klein dinge doen, sodat dit daartoe kan lei dat daar verbetering van groot dinge kan wees, sodat daar trots kan wees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns het \u2019n ongel\u00f3\u00f3flike land. Ons sien dit nie, want die plekke is vuil en stukkend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKom ons skep modelle oor Suid-Afrika heen, en dan maak ons Suid-Afrika s\u00f3 reg. Dan kan ons ander goed soos korrupsie takel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Wil en \u2019n weg<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk het al baie oproepe gekry: \u2018Barend, jy moet na d\u00e1\u00e1i dorp toe gaan, hulle het hulp nodig\u2019. Ek s\u00ea nee, h\u00falle moet dit begin. Ek kan inkom en advies gee, help met strategiese beplanning en momentum gee aan die projek, maar die oplossing moet van die mense kom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Omdat die politieke wil om verandering teweeg te bring op die meeste plekke ontbreek, is \u2019n gemeenskapswil nodig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Foto: Facebook<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDaardie gemeenskapswil kan nie van buite af kom nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selfs \u2019n klomp geld verf die krake nie permanent toe nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJy kry \u2019n kontrakteur en daai ou gaan maak skoon en reg, maar die probleem is oor ses maande lyk die plek soos hy vroe\u00ebr gelyk het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJy moet self eienaarskap vat, self kapitaal in jou eie dorp bel\u00ea om dinge reg te maak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skoonmaak en regmaak kos nie verskriklik baie geld nie. Maatskappye is al moeg, hulle vertrou nie meer die mooi beloftes nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoen eers, d\u00e1n s\u00ea jy vir hulle: \u2018D\u00edt het ons met geen of ons eie kapitaal gedoen. Wil jy help?\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jy moet ook verseker dat jy vooraf \u2019n samewerkingsooreenkoms met die plaaslike regering het, s\u00ea La Grange. Baie mense s\u00ea hulle kan nie saam met die regering werk nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNee, hoeveel keer het jy al probeer om saam met hulle te werk? Dis nie die regering se dorp nie, dis nie die munisipaliteit se dorp nie, dis nie die korrupte handjievol politici se dorp nie. Hou hulle verantwoordelik, maar moenie die houding h\u00ea van \u2018ons gaan julle wys, ons gaan dit beter as julle doen\u2019 nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bid \u00e9n werk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As daar een ding is wat La Grange moedeloos maak, is dit as mense s\u00ea: \u201cAg, ons kan maar net bid vir ons land.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNee, ons kan nie net bid vir ons land nie. Bid en werk gaan mos saam. Geloof sonder werke beteken niks. Die Bybel s\u00ea mos: \u2018Die Here sorg vir die vo\u00ebls van die hemel, hoekom sal Hy nie vir julle ook sorg nie?\u2019 Ek het nie die vo\u00ebltjies vanoggend op die draad gesien met hul bekke oop en die kos val daarin nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNee, hulle gaan vlieg en gaan soek die kos en dan word daar vir hulle gesorg.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daar is baie wat hom positief maak, soos planne wat die private sektor vir alternatiewe krag maak. Vir hom beteken die term vaderland \u201cek is wettig hier, ek is histories verbonde aan hierdie land, en voel kultureel tuis\u201d. As dit alles waar is, \u201cdan s\u00ea ek dit is my vaderland, ek wil hier bly\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBaie van ons mense s\u00ea: \u2018Ons voel ontuis\u2019. Ek laat my nie ontuis voel deur \u2019n regering nie. Dit is my vaderland, ek voel kultureel baie, baie tuis.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie w\u00eareld is mos ons woonplek. Daar\u2019s niks fout daarmee nie. Ons jong mense, laat hulle gaan. Maar mense moenie gaan omdat Suid-Afrika nie \u2019n toekoms het nie. Mense moet gaan oor geleenthede, avontuur . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns wat hier bly, moet \u2019n verskil maak terwyl ons nog die energie en gesondheid daarvoor het. Ons het die mooiste land in die w\u00eareld. Suid-Afrika het soveel om te bied, maar dis ons verantwoordelikheid om vir ons kinders en ons kleinkinders \u2019n nalatenskap te gee van \u2019n land wat werk.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anders en eenders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sy pa het \u2019n huurmotoronderneming in Kaapstad se noordelike voorstede gehad. Taxi\u2019s en busse is al waarmee La Grange ry wanneer hy alleen op sy toere in Afrika gaan, nou al 21 jaar lank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDan slaap ek in villages <\/em>en gesels met mense, want ek stel belang in hoe hulle leef. Die rede hoekom ek dit doen, is omdat mense so verskil van my. Die diversiteit fassineer my.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\u201cDis my eenvoudige definisie van rasseverhoudinge: Ons moet met mekaar kan saamwerk en mekaar se verskille geniet en waardeer, maar daar moet ruimte wees, sonder om te kritiseer, vir elkeen se eie kultuur as hy dit ook wil uitleef in \u2019n bepaalde stadium.\u201d<\/div>\n
Barend la Grange<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dit moet dus nie by praat bly nie, maar lei tot beter persoonlike omstandighede en beter behuising vir Suid-Afrikaners, kos vir hongeres, beter gesondheidsdienste, onderwys, skoon water en mooier, beter, skoner dorpe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haal die angel uit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As ons vorentoe wil gaan, moet ons goeie verhoudinge handhaaf, anders kan ons nie saam besluite neem nie, s\u00ea La Grange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns kan met mekaar verskil, maar ons moet mekaar nie verneder nie. Ons moet die angel van aggressie uit die debat haal. Dis normaal dat ons verskil, ons kom uit verskillende kulture, agtergronde en opvoeding, ensovoorts. Maar ons het soveel in gemeen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suid-Afrika se oorgang na demokrasie was eintlik ongelooflik, s\u00ea La Grange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is omdat ons mekaar respekteer. Ons klop onsself te min op die skouer oor wat ons bereik het. Ons kan verhoudings bou ongeag verskille.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maak ons gras groen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

La Grange was weer by Kaunda en di\u00e9 keer het hy ander wit Suid-Afrikaners saamgevat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToe praat ons oor die verlede. D\u00e1\u00e1i jare was hy die grootste vyand, want die ANC se hoofkantoor was in Lusaka. Nou is dit 40 jaar later en tien Afrikaanssprekende wit mense sit om \u2019n tafel en ons praat oor die verlede, en hy speel so op sy kitaar en hy sing, en hy gee vir ons elkeen \u2019n boek, Letter to My Children<\/em>, en hy bid vir elkeen.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Grange se toere deur Afrika het ander lus gemaak, dus vat hy deesdae groepe saam, soos binnekort weer na Rwanda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daar gaan hulle na die gorillas, die goue ape en die Kivu-meer kyk, en op slaggatlose paaie in \u2019n misdaadvrye omgewing ry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daarna kom hy terug, want elke land het sy uitdagings, selfs Europa met sy buurman Wladimir Poetin \u201cwat die hele Europese vasteland binne \u2019n dag of twee in \u2019n kernoorlog kan dompel\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
