SAMUEL \u201cSampie\u201d Marais (59) skoolhoof van HTS Daniel Pienaar, het sy lewe toegewy aan di\u00e9 skool en sy leerders \u2013 hy was \u2019n Tier in murg en been. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marais is verlede Donderdag, 29 Augustus, oorlede \u2013 vermoedelik na \u2019n massiewe hartaanval \u2013 terwyl hy op die spoor was van twee misdadigers wat leerders se lewens bedreig het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens kaptein Gerda Swart, polisiewoordvoerder van die Uitenhage polisie, het twee DP-leerders in Daniel Pienaarrylaan geloop toe twee onbekende mans hulle met \u2019n mes gedreig het en twee selfone by hulle gevat het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie leerders het terug skool toe gehardloop en Marais, wat by \u2019n krieketwedstryd was, is daarvan vertel. Die leerders het saam met Marais en nog \u2019n onderwyser in sy Land Rover geklim om die misdadigers te gaan soek,\u201d s\u00ea kaptein Swart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een van die verdagtes, \u2019n 17-jarige, is in Buxtonlaan aangekeer met die hulp van \u2019n lid uit die gemeenskap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMarais het by die verdagte gestaan toe hy skielik ineengestort het. \u2019n Ambulans is ontbied en Marais is op die toneel dood verklaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEen van die verdagtes is in hegtenis ge-neem. \u2019n Saak van roof word ondersoek. \u2019n Geregtelike doodsondersoek word ook gedoen,\u201d s\u00ea Swart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kola du Toit, \u2019n adjunkhoof by DP, betreur Marais se afsterwe en s\u00ea, \u201cSampie se dood is vir ons almal \u2019n groot skok. Daarom is berading by die skool beskikbaar vir leerders sowel as onderwysers en veral vir die twee leerders wat op die toneel was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSampie het die gemeenskap geken soos die palm van sy hand en dit is een van die redes waarom hy so \u2019n uitstekende skoolhoof was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy was streng, maar het \u2019n hart vol vergifnis gehad. Sy sin vir humor was lieflik. Hy was ook \u2019n sterk gelowige man. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAl hierdie eienskappe het hom \u2019n geliefde mens, nie net in die skool nie, maar in die hele gemeenskap gemaak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met Marais se inhuldiging as skoolhoof van DP in 2018, het hy ges\u00ea hy wil daarop voortbou dat leerders, ouers, onderwysers en veral oudskoliere en ondersteuners betrokke bly en tuis voel by DP en deel bly van die Tierfamilie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DP het vanjaar sy 124ste jaar gevier en is die oudste tegniese skool in Suid-Afrika. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 skool is ook Marais se alma mater waar hy gematrikuleer het en in 1984 teruggekeer het as onderwyser in die elektriese tegnologie afdeling, waarvan hy in 1992 tot departements-hoof bevorder is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2015 het hy die leisels as adjunkhoof oorgeneem en daarna as waarnemende skoolhoof met die aftrede van die vorige skoolhoof, Nico Claassen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DP l\u00ea die Marais-gesin na aan die hart want dit is ook hier waar Sampie se vrou, Crystelle, as vakhoof van die Engelse departement skoolhou \u00e9n waar hul oudste seun Dieter \u2019n onderhoofleier was en gematrikuleer het. Hy is tans \u2019n kommersi\u00eble duiker. Hul ander seuns is Karel Otto, wat ook in DP en in graad 10 is, terwyl hul jongste seun Conrad nog op laerskool is, maar beslis \u2019n Tier in murg en been wil word soos sy pa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buiten Marais se passie vir skoolhou, was hy ook \u2019n begaafde musikant en kon kitaar sowel as konsertina speel. Onder sy musikale leiding was die skool se Boereorkes eens die nasionale wenners. Sy ander passies was fotografie, sport, tuinmaak en sy geliefde Land Rover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Herdenkingsdiens is gister (Woensdag, 4 September) vir Marais gehou in die NG Moedergemeente-kerk op Uitenhage. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
