Deur op \u2019n Sondagmiddag deur Kimberley se middestad te ry, beleef \u2019n mens di\u00e9 stad se glorie van weleer, asook die hedendaagse ritme en kleur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sonder die gewemel van mense, in die afwesigheid van toeterende en dreunende voertuie en oorver\u00addowende musiek uit luidsprekers by winkeldeure, sien \u2019n mens hoe oud en nuut, histories en modern, hand vat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op so \u2019n Sondagmiddag kan jy jou die siel van Kimberley verbeel; jou die unieke gebeure wat tot sy totstandkoming gelei het, indink; die passie, drome, lag en trane van individue, groepe en ondernemings wat tot die kosmopolitiese stad in die kleine bygedra het, byna voel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mense wat hier gebore is en steeds hier woon, beskou dit as hul plek. Inkommers is in die Noord-Kaapse hoofstad omdat hulle \u2019n geleentheid hier raakgesien het \u2013 \u2019n beter lewe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit neem nie lank om te sien dat Kimberley se mense die stad verlo\u00ebn het nie, dat hulle hul blyplek in die steek gelaat het. Verf dop van geboue af; uithangborde dof gebrand deur die Noord-Kaapse son probeer moedig \u2019n naam uitspel; rommel van besighede en voetgangers wys nie-omgee uit, so ook die lekkende waterpype, strukture wat gevandaliseer is, oorgroeide oop ruimtes . . . Seemeeue kras oor brandende hope vullis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Straatkinders met oumens\u00adgesigte en dofstarende o\u00eb buk oor gebreekte asdromme. Vergete museums staan droewig; nuwer projekte onvoltooid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Mens wil huil oor die weemoed van die middestad, so op \u2019n Sondagmiddag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op so \u2019n middag wil \u2019n mens die trem van die mynmuseum sien ry; sy waarskuwingsklok by padkruisings hoor klingel. \u2019n Mens wil vrolike samesyn tussen entrepreneursmarkte op die stadsplein beleef; braaimielies en worsbroodjies ruik, laggende kinders met spookasem sien huppel. \u2019n Mens wil met die sypaadjies langs en deur oop ruimtes stap sonder die vrees van besering deur \u2019n aanvaller of \u2019n onverwagse gat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Mens wil trots en opgewonde wees en s\u00ea: Kom Kimberley toe, kom kyk wat het ons wat \u2019n verskeidenheid van tale praat, hier reggekry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar \u2019n mens kan nie. Want \u2019n mens kry te skaam. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
