\u2019n Bekende en geliefde oudinwoner van die Goudveld, Fourie Cronj\u00e9, is oorlede<\/div>\n
Vista<\/span> Verskaf<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As \u2019n legende in sy eie tyd was Cronj\u00e9 oor die land heen bekend vir sy volbloedperde en het hy verskeie Suid-Afrikaanse kampioene opgelewer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Hy het ook as die perdefluisteraar (\u201chorse whisperer\u201d) bekend gestaan.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hy het ook as die perdefluisteraar (\u201chorse whisperer\u201d) bekend gestaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cronj\u00e9 het in Februarie vanjaar Welkom n\u00e1 64 jaar verlaat, weens gesondheidsredes, en hy is op 5 Desember in die sorgsentrum van die De Meerpaal-aftreeoord in Pretoria oorlede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy het \u2019n passie vir perde gehad en altyd seker gemaak dat hulle die beste versorging kry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cronj\u00e9 het op \u2019n plaas naby Frankfort grootgeword waar sy liefde vir perde ontstaan het. Hy was van jongs af \u2019n uitstekende ruiter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy dogter Juanita Wessels s\u00ea hy het \u2019n spesiale band met elke perd gehad wat deur sy hande gegaan het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/div>\n
Een van sy bekendste perde was Gala, wat meer as 30 jaar oud geword het. Gala was op sy dae \u2019n Suid-Afrikaanse kampioen en het \u2019n koninklike lewe gelei. Met Gala se 30ste verjaardag is \u2019n geselligheid vir hom by die perdestalle in St. Helena, Welkom, gehou. Talle mense wat di\u00e9 spogperd geken het, het die byeenkoms bygewoon. Die bekende Cor Roos en sy dansende perd het spesiaal vir Gala en die gaste opgetree.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Die bekende Cor Roos en sy dansende perd het spesiaal vir Gala en die gaste opgetree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cronj\u00e9 het in 1973 \u2019n Suid-Afrikaanse beoordelaar-sertifikaat verwerf wat hom in staat gestel het om Amerikaanse saalperde, Boerperde, Arabiese perde en Palomino\u2019s op skoue en kompetisies te beoordeel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy was 20 jaar oud toe hy perde begin afrig het. Tien jaar later het hy reeds verskeie Suid-Afrikaanse kampioene opgelewer. Hy het ook \u2019n gawe gehad om probleem-perde te laat presteer en was meesterlik met die afrigting van Amerikaanse saalperde. Sy ander voorliefde was bontperde (pinto\u2019s). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sierduiwe het hom ook na aan die hart gel\u00ea en hy was sowat 30 jaar lank lid van die Suid-Afrikaanse Sierduif\u00advereniging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cronj\u00e9 het in 1962 by die Pres. Brand-goudmyn as monsternemer begin werk en is kort voor lank na die geologiedepartement geskuif. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy vrou, Gwen, is in 2002 oorlede. Die egpaar het vyf kinders: Henry, Desir\u00e9, Yoland\u00e9, Juanita en Megan. Cronj\u00e9 word ook deur ses kleinkinders en twee agterkleinkinders oorleef. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die begrafnisdiens was op 8 Desember in die Gereformeerde kerk Welkom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
