Daar is nie \u2019n manier dat jy 25 jaar \u2019n besigheid kan h\u00ea sonder die hulp van die Here en die gemeenskap nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leona Goodchild-Roos s\u00ea haar praktyk, Leona Goodchild-oogkundiges, het gegroei te danke aan die ondersteuning van pasi\u00ebnte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Op die jong ouderdom van 23 het Roos haar eerste praktyk op 4 September 1995 in Kathu geopen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit was destyds die eerste oogkundige praktyk wat in die myndorpie gevestig is, en nou is dit \u2019n kwarteeu later steeds deel van die Kalahari. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy onthou nog haar eerste pasi\u00ebnt. Sy het Elsa van Wyk beloon deur haar bril vir haar gratis te laat maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haar man, Gerrit Roos, het later deel van haar praktyk se bestuur geword. Sy het \u2019n tweede praktyk in Kuruman oopgemaak en besit \u2019n ten volle toegeruste laboratorium in Kathu om spoedige diens te verseker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tans is daar ses personeellede: Patricia Jonathan, Cathrine Lombaard, Ilana Meyer, Monique Mulder, Lettie Besselaar en Shonita Basson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan het saam met die praktyk gegroei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSy is soos \u2019n ma vir my. Sy het my basies in die praktyk groot gemaak,\u201d s\u00ea Roos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oor haar gewildheid by inwoners, s\u00ea sy \u2019n pasi\u00ebnt het dit vir haar so mooi gestel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie vrou het ges\u00ea toe sy by ander oogkundiges was, het dit gevoel asof hulle haar \u2019n guns doen om haar te help. Maar toe sy die dag hier inloop, was almal behulpsaam en vriendelik.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roos s\u00ea sy en haar personeel wil net die gemeenskap dien. Sy het talle mense in en om die dorp se lewe verander. Sommige mense bars in trane uit wanneer hulle vir die eerste keer hier \u2019n bril opsit. Van hulle s\u00ea dit is die eerste keer in jare dat hulle mooi kan sien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nog \u2019n pasi\u00ebnt het ges\u00ea nou kan hy uiteindelik vir sy vrou juwele koop. Hulle het nog nooit so baie geld op brille gespaar nie. Dit was altyd so duur, het hy verduidelik, maar nou kan hy haar \u2019n bietjie bederf vir haar verjaardag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roos s\u00ea mense moet ten minste een keer elke twee jaar hul o\u00eb laat toets. Dit gaan nie oor die bril nie, maar is ter wille van gesondheid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk kan so hartseer raak as mense uit moeilike omstandighede nie hul o\u00eb wil laat toets nie. As daar iets is wat jou visie bedreig, wil ek jou dieselfde dag sien. As jy nie geld het nie, kan ons ten minste net kyk wat fout is en \u2019n verwysing doen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy s\u00ea dit is belangrik vir mense om te besef jy het net een paar o\u00eb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cO\u00eb kan nie soos tande vervang word nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\/2025\/03\/2fbaabd666df4dfda30c7337a6f2a2a2.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":301618,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/meegevoel-met-laerskool-kathu-wyd-betuig-terwyl-oorsaak-van-botsing-ondersoek-word\/","url_meta":{"origin":60442,"position":0},"title":"Meegevoel met Laerskool Kathu wyd betuig; oorsaak van botsing nog ondersoek","author":"Madr\u00e9 Marais","date":"14 June 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Die presiese omstandighede wat tot die botsing gelei het waarin 'n vroulike onderwyser van die Laerskool Kathu dood is, word ondersoek.","rel":"","context":"In "News"","block_context":{"text":"News","link":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Huldeblyke stroom van oor die land heen in terwyl owerhede die oorsaak ondersoek van die noodlottige botsing waarin die bus van die Laerskool Kathu was.","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Laerskool-Kathu-bus.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Laerskool-Kathu-bus.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Laerskool-Kathu-bus.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Laerskool-Kathu-bus.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Laerskool-Kathu-bus.jpg?resize=1050%2C600&ssl=1 3x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Laerskool-Kathu-bus.jpg?resize=1400%2C800&ssl=1 4x"},"classes":[]},{"id":50944,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/potpourri-hulp-kom-van-ver-20231005\/","url_meta":{"origin":60442,"position":1},"title":"Potpourri: Hulp kom van ver","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"5 October 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"\u2019n Tyd terug pak ek kaste reg.
