So seker soos Suid-Afrika \u2019n kakistocracy <\/i>is, net so seker het ons almal al kosbaarhede verloor; moontlik deur ons eie toedoen weens nalatigheid, of volgens \u2019n korttermynpolis se fynskrif by an act of God<\/span>. Di\u00e9 kere is eintlik raar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die meeste kere en die ergste is die wederregtelike vervreemding van ons eiendom deur die Lae Koerakters, soos lank oorlye en min-skoolgaan Ouman die diewe genoem het. Ons almal asem dieselfde vry, lewegewende suurstof in. Verskil is, hulle gebruik di\u00e9 lewe vir steel en verniel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Net die gedagte aan die medelandsburgers wat my al elf maal vervreem het van my eiendom, neig my tot \u2019n hardop gesprekvoering met spesialis-woordgebruik en woordspeling. Vir \u2019n toehoorder kan dit na \u2019n kakofonie klink. Die soort diefstal deur inbrake eindig soms katastrofies. Dis hierdie soort goed in Suid-Afrika wat mense tot katatonie lei en ook maak dat \u2019n mens sukkel met jou medemenslike optrede; wat nog te s\u00ea gedagtes van vrede en liefde?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit kan klink of ek hoeka katatonies is, omdat ek al vier keer \u2019n ka-erige woord gebruik het. Ek ontken dit kategories. Ek is sane<\/span>, soos my kleinkinders s\u00ea. Of, in verstaanbare Afrikaans, by my volle positiewe. Die gebruik-woorde is r\u00earig. Dis nie vloekwoorde of selfgeskepte vuiltaal nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Di\u00e9 wat met oop ore en o\u00eb deur hierdie deurmekaar lewe gaan, in \u2019n nog deurmekaarder land, sal weet wat beteken die ka-erige woord in die aanhef. Indien nie, google dit. Dis belangrik te weet wat die status van ons regering is en dus nuttig vir die 2024-verkiesing. Tog is ek bevrees die karige opleiding en hopelose denkvermo\u00eb van die oorgrote deel van ons bevolking sal ons weer eens met \u2019n kakistocracy <\/i>laat. Die toestand is ook deel van my verliese. Ek het in 1994 gehoop teen hoop dat die ANC sal voortbou op \u2019n enorme geskenk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan nog die verlies aan geliefdes. Almal het myns insiens onnodig vroeg verhuis. Ek kom soort van reg daarmee met die troos dat my verliese nie so erg is soos di\u00e9 van baie ander mense nie. Maar presentkind, wat in haar kort lewe meer hartseergoed beleef het as baie ander, s\u00ea \u201celke mens se sleg is vir hom sleg\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indien ek nie is wat ek is omdat ek weet wie ek is nie, kon al die sleg in my lewe my al \u2019n Sannie Smartvraat of Hannie Hopeloos gemaak het, hier allenig in die huis op die bult. Ek het die afgelope jare groot verliese gely deur Skoppensboer, asook vyf aangetroude familielede in die lewe verloor deur egskeiding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sou ek nie \u2019n baie hegte verhouding met die aangetroudes gehad het nie, sal ek lekker in skoonma se woorde ges\u00ea het: \u201cGood riddance of bad rubbish\u201d. Vir di\u00e9 van u wat nie weet nie, egskeiding is erger as dood, want laasgenoemde onwelkome gas is onvermydelik. Dit moet een of ander tyd gebeur en is finaal. Egskeiding is nie bedoel om te gebeur tussen mense wat lief was vir mekaar en beloof het \u201ctot die dood ons skei\u201d nie. In hierdie lewe stop die seer nooit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ek het heeltemal te veel verliese gely deur inbrake asook waardevolle items in my kom en gaan verloor. Die korttermynversekeringspolis was altyd baie simpatiek; natuurlik met die versteekte fynskrif-voorwaardes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benewens al die genoemdes is daar ook nog die verlies aan \u2019n verantwoordelike regering en Suid-Afrika se verlies aan geloofwaardigheid in die o\u00eb van die w\u00eareld. Dan ook nog daai dooie goed wat vir my lewendig was. Dit laat anderster emosionele letsels op my brose self. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verstaanbaar sal dit nie sin maak vir ander mense dat die afskeid van \u2019n motor en die prominente goue stopsel in my Boesmanlandse gebit my emosioneel raak nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Baie spesiale en bekende motor van my is afgeskryf deur dieselfde simpatieke korttermynversekeringspolis wat my vergoed het vir ander verliese. Die ongeluk was nie deur my toedoen of die skuld van die bestuurder nie. Is mos daai anderpad-kyk-ding. Die magteloosheid teen die stelsel het my erg geknou. Dan die afskeid neem van my amper 70 jaar lange stuk goud in my voortand. Di\u00e9 het ek pynlik verwerf deur die klipgooiery van \u2019n stouterd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die \u201cred\u201d van my tand deur \u2019n afgetrede tandarts-vriend van pappa op Calvinia was \u2019n paar ure se werk en het drie ghienies gekos \u2013 baie geld daai tyd. Was mos Engelse ponde. Was ook \u2019n opskudding by die skool. Almal wou kyk en voel. Gonna. My bankmaat wou my nie glo nie en het gekyk of \u2019n magneet daaraan kan vassit en ons al twee is toe gestraf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Van-Genoot-tandarts van die afgelope dertig jaar en onsigbare GEMS het besluit om dit met wit te herstel. Geen kwade gevoelens nie. Vertrou hom steeds met die res, maar die emosionele letsel sal hy nie verstaan nie. Daai is egter my probleem en oorkombaar, maar hoe gemaak met diefstal van miljoene rande Suid-Afrikaanse goud. om nie eens te praat van die goue geskenk van \u2019n gesonde fiskus en florerende ekonomie in 1994 wat deur Lae Koerakters gesteel en verniel is nie? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
