SOOS die bome bo die Uitenhage Ho\u00ebrskool se drieverdieping skoolgebou uittroon, s\u00f3 het talle leerders onder oud-skoolhoof Stanley Japtha se leiding, ho\u00eb mylpale in hul lewens bereik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk het elkeen van daardie bome met my eie hande geplant. Kyk waar staan hul toppe nou,\u201d s\u00ea Japtha terwyl ons na die skool se voorportaal stap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daar aangekom, word hy openhartig verwelkom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selfs jonges wat lank na sy aftrede die skoolbanke verlaat het, kom nader om te groet. Dis aandoenlik om die groot respek vir hierdie oud-meester eerstehands te beleef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHarde werk. Dit is al resep vir sukses. Daar is geen plaasvervanger vir toewyding en eerlike harde werk nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk was lief vir werk en dit het my ver in die lewe gebring,\u201d s\u00ea Japtha wat in sy 90ste lewensjaar steeds ywerig take aanpak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy het op \u2019n jong ouderdom kennis gemaak met harde werk. Sy pa was \u2019n markagent en as \u2019n klein laaitie moes Japtha douvoordag, of selfs laat in die aand, help om boere se vars-produkte op die markplein af te laai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nie net harde werk het sy lewe gevorm nie, maar ook die harde werklikheid van die lewe. Hy het op die ouderdom van ses sy ma verloor en toe hy 16 jaar oud was, is sy pa oorlede. Daarna het sy oudste suster na die gesin omgesien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns het in \u2019n Christelike huis grootgeword. Hierdie fondament het my goed te staan gekom. Gebed en \u2019n vaste geloof in die Here het my deur die moeilike tye van die lewe gehelp.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harde werk het gemaak dat Japtha by Dower Prim\u00eare Skool die destydse Sub B en standerd 1 in \u2019n jaar se tyd voltooi het. Die res van sy skoolloopbaan, sowel as naskoolse onderwysstudies, is gekenmerk deur uitmuntende prestasies en die gevolglike toekennings van beurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn 1948 het ek my eerste aanstelling, vir \u2019n maand, by die Prim\u00eare Skool Haaspoort gekry. Ek moes per fiets \u2019n hele paar kilometer van Kleinpoort af ry om by di\u00e9 plaasskool te kom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So moes hy ook later jare, met \u2019n week se kosvoorraad in sy rugsak, vir drie ure aan 30 myl op \u2019n Maandag trap om by die Rautenbach Prim\u00eare Skool in die Elandsriviervallei uit te kom waar hy toe skoolgehou het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Werk was skaars en diskriminasie het in daardie jare hoogty gevier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Om R18 per week te verdien<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Op \u2019n stadium het Japtha weer teruggekeer na die varsproduktemark, waar hy R18 per week verdien het. Hy het ook deeltyds vragmotors bestuur vir groothandelaars om kruideniersware af te lewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs \u2019n jong man het ek besluit dat ek nooit teen enige persoon vir enige rede sal dis-krimineer nie. Om my dilemma op te los, het ek besluit om my kwalifikasies te verbeter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy het toe \u2019n diploma in Ho\u00ebr Onderwys (musiek) by die Battswood Opleidingskollege in Wynberg, Kaapstad verwerf en later jare sy B.A.-graad aan UNISA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1964 het hy \u2019n assistent betrekking by Uitenhage Ho\u00ebrskool gekry en 15 jaar later is hy as skoolhoof by di\u00e9 skool aangestel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit was in die tyd toe politieke bedrywighede in die land hoogty gevier het. Klasboikotte was aan die orde van die dag, maar my doel was altyd om die beste vir ons leerlinge te gee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeginsels is vir my belangrik. Dit beteken om die lewe en besluite te baseer op wat reg en verkeerd is volgens die Heilige Woord van God. Om nie opgevang te word in gevoelens, sensasies, emosies of begeertes nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Na bietjie meer as 21 jaar by Uitenhage Ho\u00ebrskool, insluitend die ses jaar as skoolhoof, is Japtha vir nege maande oorgeplaas na die onderwysdepartement se Opvoedkundige hoofkantoor in Kaapstad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Met sy terugkeer het hy vier aangename jare as inspekteur van onderwys vir die Gelvandale-kring geniet voordat hy op 60-jarige ouderdom met pensioen uit die onderwys getree het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van ledig wees was daar geen sprake nie en na sy aftrede slaag hy met vlie\u00ebnde vaandels die eksamen van die raad vir eiendomsagente. Kenmerkend van Japtha, was hy ook \u2019n baie suksesvolle eiendomsagent. Tussen-deur het hy en sy eggenote verskeie reise in die buiteland onderneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deesdae is Japtha steeds op-en-wakker en hou hy hom besig met leeswerk, tuintakies en gaan loer so af en toe nog in by Ho\u00ebrskool Uitenhage, \u201cwat net vyf minute se loop en drie deure van my huis af is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
