Olifantshoek se bekendste baken het ‘n nuwe tuiste in di\u00e9 Noord-Kaapse dorp gekry. Menige reisiger het die afgelope dekades di\u00e9 baken, ‘n beeld van ‘n olifant, opgemerk en afgeneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onlangs het ‘n reisiger laat weet: “Olifantshoek se olifant is weg. Is die dorp se naam nou net Hoek?”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Di\u00e9 olifant wat sedert die 1970’s op ‘n oop terrein langs die hoofstraat gestaan het, pryk nuut oorgedoen voor die Kalahari-hotel<\/a>, ook langs die hoofstraat. Di\u00e9 hotel, die oudste in die dorp, is op die hoek van Van Riebeeck- en Dalgetty-straat. Die N14 strek as Van Riebeeckstraat deur die dorp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mede-eienaar van die hotel, Magret Malan, s\u00ea hulle het by die Gamagara-munisipaliteit aansoek gedoen om die olifant te mag skuif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘n Hoofrede was dat die olifant die afgelope jare aan verwaarlosing en vandalisme blootgestel was. So is onder meer verlede jaar in die winter opgemerk dat haweloses besig was om vuur by die beeld te maak. Teen daardie tyd was een tand reeds verlore, die olifant was sonder ‘n stert, en die veselglaslyf het ‘n gat ingehad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malan vertel dat vasgestel is dat die olifant in die 1970’s as ‘n skoolprojek van die Ho\u00ebrskool Langberg gemaak en opgerig is. Volgens stevenson.info is die beeld deur ene Louis Gay vir die inhuldiging van die ho\u00ebrskool in 1974 gemaak.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daar is ook vasgestel dat die olifant op een van drie plekke in die dorp mag staan: waar dit gestaan het, voor die munisipaliteit, of by die Kalahari-hotel. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So het dit gebeur dat die olifant ‘n nuwe plek by die hotel gekry het. Die olifant het weer ‘n stert en ‘n tweede tand gekry, en die gat is reggemaak.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Met ‘n blinknuwe verflaag wag Olifantshoek <\/a>se olifant by die hotel om verbygangers vir ‘n foto te verwelkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grootvoete glo volop in vroe\u00ebre jare<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Olifantshoek is aan die voet van die Langberg gele\u00eb. Die dorp se naam is afkomstig van die oorspronklike Tswana-naam, “Ditlou”, wat olifant beteken. Die ligging is glo so genoem omdat olifante volop hier voorgekom het. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens talle bronne is die eerste steengebou in Olifantshoek in 1906 gebou, wat onder meer ‘n polisie-sel met ‘n magistraatskantoor langsaan was. In daardie jare is polisiepatrollies in die gebied op kamele gedoen. Die gebruik het glo in 1946 tot ‘n einde gekom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die omgewing was vroe\u00ebr jare berug vir sy slegte grondpaaie. Dit het drasties verbeter toe die teerpad tussen Kuruman en Upington, via Olifantshoek, in 1975 voltooi is.<\/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\/a50765c21ef3c45c021aae194bd0c185","name":"Helena Barnard","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-ZA","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ceac52f88b782072cec675588f5c870c7db001781097c0616b3b2dc868b88ccc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ceac52f88b782072cec675588f5c870c7db001781097c0616b3b2dc868b88ccc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ceac52f88b782072cec675588f5c870c7db001781097c0616b3b2dc868b88ccc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Helena Barnard"},"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/author\/helena-barnard\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/3aa9b3b0365442dea232b9f5371d135c.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":263839,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/meisie-20-van-noord-kaapse-dorp-ongedeerd-gevind-na-kaping-ontvoering\/","url_meta":{"origin":83000,"position":0},"title":"Meisie (20) van Noord-Kaapse dorp ongedeerd gevind n\u00e1 kaping, ontvoering","author":"Helena Barnard","date":"5 June 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"'n Jong vrou van Postmasburg in die Noord-Kaap is ongedeerd gevind nadat sy in di\u00e9 dorp gekaap en ontvoer is.
