Suid-Afrikaners se skerp humorsin is die beste medisyne om vir \u2018n oomblik van die sorge in hierdie deurmekaar land te vergeet. Van pandemie-inperkings, beurtkrag, politici, brandstofpryse tot Springbok-nederlae lewer skreeusnaakse grappe op.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Kariega het Danie Scholtz, oud-skoolhoof, baie van di\u00e9 grappe versamel en in boekvorm, <em>Lag \u2018n Slag<\/em>, laat verskyn. Hy het onlangs \u2018n opgedateerde uitgawe van di\u00e8 boek uitgereik. Dit bevat 2 013 grappe wat geskik is om omtrent enige geleentheid of geselligheid op te kikker. Saam met di\u00e9 grappe het hy nog \u2018n boek, <em>Die Manewales van Tiger en die Knorhane<\/em>, geskryf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy eerste<em> Lag \u2018n Slag<\/em> is in 2010 uitgegee met 767 grappe. Die opgedateerde uitgawe het baie meer grappe van toepassing vir \u2018n verskeidenheid geleenthede,\u201d s\u00ea Danie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hy s\u00ea die idee om grappe oor dekades te versamel en in boekvorm saam te vat, het ontstaan omdat hy in die verlede dikwels as seremoniemeester by onderwysfunksies, allerlei gesellighede en troues opgetree het. Daarom het hy agter in die boek \u2018n alfabetiese onderwerplys van die grappe, met \u2018n verwysing na die bladsynommer, geplaas sodat die leser vinnig \u2018n grap of twee vir sy geleentheid kan naslaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Die Manewales van Tiger en die Knorhane<\/em> is ook propvol humor. Die boek bevat kort stories oor Scholtz en sy broers se kattekwaad, manewales, en poetsbakkery in hul jeugjare toe hulle in die woonbuurt Swartkops langs die Swartkopsrivier grootgeword het. Die boek ook humoristiese gebeure later jare in die skrywer se lewe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlles in hierdie boek, elke liewe storie het regtig gebeur. As tieners het ons lewe om visvang en kattekwaad gedraai. Maar ons was ordentlik stout en het nie mense se goed verniel nie,\u201d s\u00ea Scholtz, wat Tiger, die leier van di\u00e9 visvangbende genoem is en die res van die seuns het as Knorhane bekendgestaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scholtz s\u00ea hy het vir jare met die stories oor sy jeug en studentetyd in sy kop geloop voordat hy besluit het dit is nou tyd om dit in boekvorm saam te vat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLapa Uitgewers het my boek gekritiseer en ges\u00ea ek gebruik nie die taal wat die jongmense vandag praat nie. My magtig, my stories is soos ons in daardie tyd gepraat het, ek kan mos nie die stories vermoderniseer nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scholtz s\u00ea kinders vanaf 12 jaar sowel as volwassenes sal <em>Die Manewales van Tiger en die Knorhane<\/em> geniet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hy het ook voorheen met \u2018n storie oor sy pa, \u201cSkiet hom op die perd se verkeerde goed\u201d wat hy vir \u2018n Huisgenoot-kompetisie ingeskryf het, \u2018n week se verblyf en etes by die Augrabies-watervalle gewen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scholtz het al sewe boeke geskryf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDaar is nog twee boeke wat ek wil skryf voor ek die emmer skop. Altwee is gebaseer op tragiese gebeure wat onderskeidelik op Mosselbaai en Vosburg afgespeel het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Beide <em>Die Manewales van Tiger en die Knorhane<\/em> sowel as <em>Lag \u2018n Slag<\/em> is aanlyn beskikbaar by Print On Demand.
