Die 2023-Bergrivier-kanomarathon sal vir die legendariese Paarlse roeier Jannie Malherbe betekenisvol wees wanneer hy gaan poog om sy vyftigste eindpunt te behaal wanneer die wedvaart op Saterdag 9 Julie in Velddrif eindig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malherbe het die tweede meeste Berg\u2019-eindpunte in die geskiedenis met 49 en is slegs tweede n\u00e1 wyle Giel van Deventer. Vanjaar se Berg\u2019 sal verdere betekenis dra deurdat dit die eerste sal wees sedert Van Deventer in 2022 tragies dood is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 twee het baie Berg\u2019s saam geroei en Malherbe weet vanjaar se byeenkoms sal \u2019n belangrike huldeblyk aan Van Deventer en sy invloed op die ikoniese wedvaart deur die Swartland wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns gaan Giel hierdie jaar gewis baie mis,\u201d het \u2019n somber Malherbe ges\u00ea. \u201cHy was soos \u2019n Berg\u2019-ensiklopedie en kon jou enigiets vertel wat jy oor die wedvaart en die rivier sou wou weet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het hom altyd die eerste paar dae gevolg, want hy het geweet waar die struikelblokke was en het die rivier beter as enigiemand geken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDis nie net ek wat hom sal mis nie, maar hy sal vanjaar deur die hele roeigemeenskap gemis word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met \u2019n 50ste Berg\u2019-eindmedalje by die eindstreep vir die 84-jarige Malherbe is die syfers nie die motivering nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c50 is net \u2019n syfer, maar dis gewis nie hoekom ek roei nie. Ek roei omdat dit vir my \u2019n lewenswyse is en die Bergrivier-kanomarathon is so \u2019n belangrike deel van my jaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie wedvaart deel my jaar in die helfte. Ek vat vier dae af in Julie sodat ek van alles af kan wegkom \u2013 van die werk en my selfoon af \u2013 en net myself geniet. Ek is dol daaroor om in die Wildernis te oefen, en deesdae roei ek omtrent vier uur per week, wat genoeg behoort te wees om my tot in Velddrif te kry!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met 49 Berg\u2019s agter die blad het Malherbe die rivier en die wedvaart in elke vorm denkbaar beleef, en hy weet hoe om die belangrikes oor die jare uit te kies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJy onthou altyd die moeilikes \u2013 di\u00e9 met wind en lae watervlakke, want dit is die onvergeetlikes. Die wedvaart op vol riviere met vier sonskyndae is nie onvergeetlik nie, maar herinner jou dat elke Berg\u2019 anders is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is \u2019n spesiale wedvaart wat \u2019n spesiale plek in my hart het, en solank ek fiks en gesond bly, sal ek aanhou roei,\u201d het Malherbe verduidelik..<\/span> Die
