Hy moet luister, sien, want hy is blind.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">Dit keer egter nie vir Timmie om die program te geniet nie. \u201cEk was nie altyd blind nie, so ek kan baie van die karakters onthou van toe ek nog kon sien. Charmaine, Felicity, Oubaas en Hilda is nog in my geheue, maar dit is die nuwe karakters wat ek maar in my kop uitwerk hoe hulle lyk. Al het ek ook jare terug \u2019n akteur se stem gehoor en hy of sy speel nou in \u2019n nuwe program, sal ek dit onthou. Denise Newman se stem sal ek byvoorbeeld nooit vergeet nie.\u201d<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">\n<p>Timmie is met swak sig gebore en moes sy hele skoolloopbaan, wat hy aan die Athloneskool vir blindes spandeer het, dik brille dra. Weens gloukoom het hy geleidelik al swakker gesien en het uiteindelik heeltemal blind geword. \u201cHier rondom 2008, 2009 het ek besef die bril gaan ook nie meer help nie en ek het heeltemal blind geword. Ek het altyd baie naby aan die televisie gesit en nog altyd grootdruk gelees. Wanneer ek na die televisie luister hou ek daarvan dat alles om my stil is, want ek is nogal baie afhanklik van die klank van die televisie. So weet ek wanneer sekere musiek op die agtergrond is, daar besig is om onheil te broei of iets. <\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">\u201cMet die woorde en die musiek kan ek nogal redelik maklik die storielyn volg. Wanneer daar nou regtig iemand is wat ek graag wil weet hoe die persoon lyk, sal ek iemand vra om te verduidelik. Sommige programme is moeilik vir my om te volg, want al ons elf nasionale tale word gepraat en ek kan ongelukkig net Afrikaans en Engels verstaan. <p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">\n<p>\u201cDis hoekom ek so baie van <em>7de Laan<\/em> hou, want hoewel van die karakters soms ander tale praat, kan ek steeds die storie volg. So elke nou en dan is daar \u2019n toneel wat ek dink \u2019n bietjie sig sal nou nie sleg gewees het nie, maar dan gaan ek net weer aan,\u201d s\u00ea Timmie.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">Oubaas (Pierre van Pletzen) is sy gunsteling-karakter. \u201cEk lag lekker vir sy s\u00eagoed en hoe hy gewoonlik die feite verdraai en verkeerd kry,\u201d lag Timmie.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">Buiten <em>7de Laan <\/em>hou hy ook van dokument\u00eare programme. \u201cDokument\u00eare programme word in vertelstyl aangebied, so ek kan redelik maklik volg wat aangaan.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">\n<p><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Carte Blanche <\/em>en <em>Special Assigment<\/em> was nog al die jare van my voorste programme. Waar dit by flieks kom, hou ek van flieks wat op ware gebeure gegrond is.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">Timmie is wyd belese en ontvang weekliks oudioboeke om sy leeslus te stil. <p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">\n<p>\u201cEen van my drome is nog om my eie boek te skryf. Van my familie en vriende vra elke keer hoekom ek nog nie \u2019n boek geskryf het nie. Ag, ek moet seker net begin,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">Teen die einde van die onderhoud skuif Timmie na sy sitplek neffens die televisie-stel, want daar is nog \u2019n dokument\u00ear oor \u2019n onopgeloste moord waarna hy moet luister.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wanneer die temalied van een van die
