\u2019n Sierlike trapknop van gesnede hout, nou \u2019n kosbare versamelstuk, is al vir 43 jaar die stille getuie vir Aubrey Joubert (78) van die vlammehel wat een van Port Elizabeth se pragtigste geboue verswelg het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al wat hy kon red, was di\u00e9 trapknop. Voordat dit op die vertoonkas van sy huis in Scheepershoogte op Uitenhage beland het, het dit eers 40 jaar lank diens as deurstop gedoen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk is seker dit is \u2019n enigste-in-sy-soort houtsneekuns-trapknop, want dit is spesiaal vir die indrukwekkende trappe van die Port Elizabeth Doeanehuis gemaak. Dit is \u2019n waardevolle artefak en vir seker \u2019n versamelaarsitem,\u201d s\u00ea Joubert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die navorsing wat hy op hierdie stuk houtsneekuns gedoen het, dui daarop dat dit in Birmingham, Engeland gemaak is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk het dit nie gevat om dit te steel nie, ek het dit gevat om dit te red,\u201d beklemtoon Joubert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joubert was destyds as sersant in die spoorwegpolisie en aan diens op die Sondagmiddag in 1978 toe die Doeanehuis, t\u00f3\u00e9 een van Port Elizabeth se aristokratiese geboue, gebrand het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie gebou was \u2019n argitektoniese meesterstuk en dit was binne net so pragtig. Veral die doeanesaal op die boonste vloer waar daar eens waardevolle kunsstukke gehang het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maar nadat die gebou in 1977 in onbruik verval het, hoofsaaklik weens die opskorting van posskepe na Suid-Afrika, het boemelaars daar ingetrek en het een van hul vuurtjies die brand veroorsaak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOuens het my by die spoorwegpolisiekantoor op die stasie kom roep en ges\u00ea die Doeanehuis brand. Die gebou was \u2019n klipgooi van die kantoor af en ek is dadelik daarheen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joubert het met die trappe opgehardloop om ondersoek in te stel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaar die brand was reeds buite beheer. Die boonste vloer se dak het begin inval. \u2019n Klomp duiwe het verwilderd rondgevlieg en die vlamme het vinning na die Grand Staircase<\/span> begin beweeg. Ek het besef ek moet uit \u2013 dit was te gevaarlik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOp pad af vat ek aan een van die trapknoppe en besef toe \u2018\u2026 jisou \u2026 dit is baie mooi houtsneekuns wat vir seker ook gaan brand<\/span><\/span>.\u2019 Ek ruk toe die houtknop met fors af. Di\u00e9 artefak was eers in my<\/span>locker<\/span> by die werk voordat ek dit huistoe gebring het.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Na die brand in 1978 is die Doeanehuis nie herstel nie en het dit verder verval totdat dit in 1982 gesloop is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joubert s\u00ea hy het die houtsneewerk-trapkop na die 1820-Setlaarsvereniging geneem, maar hulle was nie daarin ge\u00efntereseerd nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is waardevol. Ek is so bang as ek doodgaan gaan die kinders dit as vleisbraaihout gebruik,\u201d skerts Joubert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo as daar iemand is wat sou belangstel in die houtknop, kan ons gesels. Dit moet behoue bly vir die nageslag.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joubert was vir 42 jaar in die polisiediens, eers by die spoorwegpolisie en later in die Suid-Afrikaanse polisiediens. Hy het in 1997 uitgetree as \u2019n speurder adjudant-offisier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meer oor die ou Doeanehuis:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weens die toename in seeverkeer, was dit in die laat 1880s nodig om \u2019n nuwe groter Doeanehuis by Port Elizabeth se hawe te bou met Adolph Gislingham Howard as die argitek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018n Gedeelte van die see by die destydse North Jetty naby die Campanile-toring is drooggel\u00ea en uitgrawings vir die konstruksie het op 20 November 1889 begin. Die gebou is in 1891 in gebruik geneem en was by die hawe se hoofingang. Met die bou van die destydse Charl Malan-kaai in 1933 is die see \u2019n verdere 137.16 meter drooggel\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Doeanehuis was die plek waar bagasie en goedere deursoek is. In di\u00e9 era voor inkomstebelasting was doeanebelasting \u2018n groot bron van inkomse vir Port Elizabeth en doeane-beamptes was van die hoogsbesoldigste amptenare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Na \u2019n erge vloed en stormweer in 1908, is bevind dat die gebou se hooftoring van Victoriaans-Gotiese styl, te onstabiel was en is dit toe gesloop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Dean McCleland van The Casual Observer, was die sloping van die ou Doeanehuis die ergste van al die historiese geboue van Port Elizabeth wat verlore geraak het. McCleland het ook geskryf dat die oprigting van die Setlaars-hoofweg aan seefront die hart van die stad (Sentraal) vernietig het. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
