Dis Erfenismaand in Suid Afrika. Dis asof ek effens meer opgewonde is om vanjaar Erfenisdag te vier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Suid Afrikaners is ons versot op ons sport, gekombineer met \u2019n braai en gesellige vriende om die prentjie mooi af te rond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aan die sportfront het ons juis soveel om vanjaar te vier. Dink nou maar aan die Olimpiese en Paralimpiese Spele waar ons \u2019n klompie medaljes ingeoes het. Sjoe, dit het darem ons harte van trots laat bons. Ons manne en vroue in groen en goud het dit vir ons land gedoen. Vir almal van ons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Voeg hierby ons goue seun Dricus wat sy titel as die w\u00eareld se middelgewigbokskampioen behou het. Om nie eens te praat van ons kaptein, Siya, en sy gedugte Bokspan nie. Wat \u2019n fees om te kon sien hoe ons Bokspan daai Vryheidsbeker huis toe gebring het! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elke oorwinning aan die sportfront het elke keer net daardie nasietrots, glo ek, by elke Suid Afrikaner ingeboesem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ons is inderdaad \u2019n wennasie. Ons vier vanjaar dertig jaar as \u2019n demokrasie. Wat \u2019n mylpaal. Ons kan almal saamstem dat soveel in hierdie dertig jaar gebeur het. Die meeste van die dinge wat veral op politieke vlak gebeur het, het gedreig om ons as \u2019n nasie te verdeel. Wel, dit het nie gebeur nie, want as Suid Afrikaners het ons telkens bewys dat ons sterker en beter is as ons as \u2019n geheel saamstaan. Daar was oor die afgelope dertig jaar talle kere \u2019n gebeurtenis wat ons bo ons omstandighede laat uitstyg het. Hierdie gebeurtenisse het in die meeste gevalle, so dink ek, met sport verband gehou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elke keer as dit vir ons voel asof ons in \u2019n dal van doodskaduwee wil val, was daar die een of ander sportverwante gebeurtenis wat ons herinner het wie ons as \u2019n nasie is. As ons daai beker of trofee oplig, het ons almal trots gevoel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oor die afgelope dertig jaar het dit ons kollektiewe psige positief be\u00efnvloed. Op \u2019n makro-vlak het dit ons opnuut laat besef dat ons inderdaad die re\u00ebnboognasie van tata Madiba kan en sal wees \u2013 as ons saamstaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit wat ons veral op die sportveld kon vermag, herinner ons daaraan dat selfs die politieke magte wat dreig om ons te verdeel, dit nie sal regkry nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit het ons nasie bewys toe ons \u2019n paar maande gelede na die stembus gegaan het om vir die politieke leiers te wys wie eintlik aan bewind is \u2013 die mense van Suid Afrika. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kom ons hou hulle wat ons \u2019n paar maande gelede die voorreg gebied het om ons mense te dien verantwoordelik en verantwoordbaar om hul taak met kundigheid en integriteit uit te voer, want onthou . . . ons hou julle dop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ons is gatvol van magsvergrype. Ons is gatvol van korrupsie. Ons is gatvol van politieke arrogansie. Ons is gatvol om, soos in die verlede, ons kosbare stemme vir \u2019n politieke party in ruil vir le\u00eb beloftes en \u2019n T-hemp te gee. Ons is niemand se speelbal nie. Ons is die kinders van Madiba. Ons sal met alles in ons vermo\u00eb veg om die droom van \u2019n re\u00ebnboognasie te verwesenlik. Ja, daar is nog baie werk wat vir ons voorl\u00ea, maar ons is bereid om die road less travelled<\/span> verder te loop. Wat ons die moed, uithouvermo\u00eb en motivering gee vir hierdie edele taak, is ons kinders . . . die leiers van m\u00f4re. Ons is dit aan hulle verskuldig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Daar is genoeg bewyse dat ons sterker en beter is as ons saamstaan en ons wil hoop en glo dat ons politieke leiers hiervan kennis neem. As ons dit aan die sportfront kan regkry, dan kan en moet ons dit ook op ander terreine vermag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die sportfakkel, as deel van ons kultuurgoedere in Suid Afrika, wil ons ook aan ons politieke leiers oordra en oorgee \u2013 om ons trots te maak en om daadwerklik om te sien na die miljoene Suid Afrikaners wat julle vertrou om ons te lei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Waak egter daarteen dat die leiding nie geleidelik oorspoel na lyding, soos wat telkens in die verlede gebeur het nie. Asseblief, ons het genoeg skaamgekry vir julle swak leierskap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n N\u00e1 dertig volle jare as \u2019n demokrasie wil ons darem vir \u2019n slaggie trots voel op ons politieke leiers, soos wat ons trots voel op ons Springbokke en enige ander groep of individu in ons mooi land wat ons almal trots maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Met die mate van vordering wat ons al gemaak het om as demokrasie staande te bly, is dit my hoop en versugting om hierdie jaar ietsie van die re\u00ebnboognasie op daai verhoog te sien waar die viering van Erfenisdag gehou word. In die verlede was dit net sekere groepe en individue wat die diverse kultuur- en etniese landskap van Suid Afrika op daardie verhoog tentoongestel het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mag ons hierdie Erfenismaand dit met oorgawe waag om al die kinders van Madiba die geleentheid te bied om op die re\u00ebnboognasie-verhoog te verskyn \u2013 die Xhosa, Zulu, Khoisan, Afrikaner, Sotho, Indi\u00ebr, Tswana, Ndebele, Pedi, Moslem en Hindoe. Ons almal maak deel van ons mooi land se erfenis, identiteit en kultuur uit. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Post
