Oom Sakkie, Wellington se bekende en geliefde haarkapper, is verlede week na \u2019n beroerte oorlede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Izak van der Vyver het meer as 60 jaar lank Wellington se mans se hare gesny \u2013 hy word trouens deur sommige beskou as die manshaarkapper met die langste diensrekord in Suid-Afrika, of dalk selfs in die w\u00eareld. Hy het lank sy haarkappersalon vanuit \u2019n perseel in Kerkstraat in Wellington bedryf voordat hy \u2019n paar jaar gelede die salon na sy woonhuis in Milnerstraat verskuif het. D\u00e1\u00e1r het hy tot in sy negentigste jaar in 2014 elke dag getrou Wellington se mans se hare gesny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het gedurende sy werksjare graag vertel dat hy in alle opsigte \u2019n gebore manshaarkapper is. Hy is op Ladismith in die SuidKaap gebore en grootgeword. Na skool is hy as klereontwerper opgelei. Hy het sy beroep aanvanklik op Porterville en later in die Paarl beoefen. In die Paarl het hy op \u2019n dag gehoor dat \u2019n bekende Paarlse haarkappersalon in die mark is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk was van kleintyd af in my hart eintlik \u2019n haarkapper,\u201d het oom Sakkie enkele jare gelede by sy aftrede as haarkapper vertel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy oudste broer, Willie, het ook \u2019n haarkappersalon op Ladismith gehad. Sakkie het as jong seun elke middag Willie se salon vir \u2019n sakgeldjie uitgevee. Later het Willie hom geleer om hare te sny. Na skool het hy wel \u2019n kursus in klereontwerp gaan volg en later sy eie besigheid bedryf, maar hy kon die haarkapperstorie nie uit sy gedagtes kry nie. Hy het die haarkappersalon in die Paarl gekoop en \u2019n tydlank \u2019n kursus as haarkapper in die aande in die Kaap gevolg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1946 het hy besluit om sy salon van die Paarl na Wellington te verskuif en so het hy, tot sy aftrede 67 jaar later, onlosmaaklik deel van die dorp geword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sedert sy finale aftrede in 2014 het oom Sakkie sy salon in die huis gebruik as die plek waar hy die heel graagste sy oudag verwyl het. Die vertrek staan vandag verlate in die huis. In die middel van die vertrek staan die groot rooi stoel waarop honderde Wellingtonse mans oor die jare gesit het terwyl oom Sakkie hulle hare sny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNa my aftrede het ek graag in die rooi stoel gesit en dink oor die lewe,\u201d het oom Sakkie onlangs nog vertel. \u201cEk het skielik ontdek watter rol daardie rooi stoel in my gewildheid as haarkapper hier op die dorp gespeel het. Die stoel sit deksels lekker! Ek kan my voorstel dat \u2019n man wat heeldag plaaswerk staan en doen het nie kon wag dat sy hare weer lank genoeg uitgegroei het om weer \u2019n slag in die lekker stoel te kom sit en ontspan nie!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oom Sakkie word oorleef deur sy seun Jacques en dogter Engela Ferreira, sy kleinkinders en sy agterkleinkinders. \u2019n Troosdiens ter ere van hom is op Maandag 31 Julie in die kerkgebou van die APK op Wellington gehou.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
