Vir meer as vier dekades was die Karoo Slaghuis in Kirkwood se hoofstraat \u2018n gewilde stop vir inwoners sowel as besoekers aan di\u00e9 dorp in die Sondagsriviervallei. Di\u00e9 baken van kwaliteitvleis se deure sluit egter aan die einde van die jaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johan Swart, eienaar van Karoo Slaghuis vir die afgelope 43 jaar s\u00ea, \u201cDit was uitstekende jare met goeie kli\u00ebnte, goeie personeel en die slaghuis het \u2018n goeie naam. Mense van oral het hier gestop vir biltong, dro\u00eb wors of vleis.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karoo Slaghuis het verlede jaar \u2018n gesogte Cleaver-toekenning gekry as een van die land se top 50 slaghuise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit het nou buitensporig duur geword vir klein slaghuise om in die huidige ekonomiese klimaat hul deure oop te hou. Vleis het hopeloos te duur geword. Daar is ook te veel nie geregistreerde slagters wat in hul agterplase slag, en dan wurg groot supermarkte ons ook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk glo in kwaliteitvleis, maar daar is \u2018n groter groeiende mark wat goedkoop vleis verkies en dit is nie kwaliteitvleis nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swart s\u00ea boonop het die prys van derms ook die hoogte ingeskiet. Tot redelik onlangs is derms uit Holland ingevoer, maar deesdae kom die derms uit China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit het heeltemal hand uitgeruk. Ons het gewoonlik vir \u2018n bossie 22-derms ongeveer R50 betaal en kon so 22kg vleis daarmee stop. Daardie selfde bossie derms kos nou sowat R300 sonder BTW.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Een van Karoo Slaghuis se personeel, Lucky Scritch, werk die afgelope 30 jaar by die slaghuis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLucky is \u2018n uitsonderlike werker, in sy 30 jaar hier was hy net een dag afwesig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDaar is niks wat hy nie in \u2018n slaghuis kan doen nie. Hy ken tot al ons resepte uit sy kop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swart s\u00ea wild en vleis sal altyd deel van sy lewe bly. Hy was een van die stigters van die gewilde Kirkwood Wildsfees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk is steeds betrokke by die Wildsfees. Ek het ook baie kontakte in die wildsbedryf en met groot wildboere in ons omgewing, onder andere die grootste koedoeboer in die w\u00eareld, Arthur Rudman. Ek wil betrokke raak met die aankoop en verkoop van wild,\u201d s\u00ea Swart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karoo Slaghuis se deure sluit op 31 Desember 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
