Liefde. Respek. Waardering. Ondersteuning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00ect, vertel Magdalena en Stephanus Baartman, is die gom wat hul huweliksbande vir amper 60 jaar aanmekaar gehou het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die bejaarde paartjie (onderskeidelik 80 en 81), wat steeds na mekaar kyk met sterre in hul o\u00eb, het op 1 Februarie vanjaar hul 59ste huweliksherdenking gevier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die twee het mekaar in 1955 in Stellenbosch raakgeloop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSy het onmiddellik my aandag getrek,\u201d vertel oom Stephanus met \u2019n effense glimlag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEn ek was bang vir hom, want hy was \u2019n bodybuilder<\/span> en het al die meisies opgetel,\u201d voeg tannie Maggie by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Een Sondag het Stephanus geweet Magdalena moet by die hospitaal gaan werk, hy het aspris in die veld, naby waar sy verby moet loop, rondgedwaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk het haar gevra of ek nie saam met haar kan stap nie,\u201d en so het die vriendskap begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die pad na ware liefde was ook nie altyd maklik vir die twee nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaar pa het nie van my gehou nie en sy het pak gekry oor my.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magdalena het later in Plumstead gaan werk, maar die twee het steeds vir mekaar briefies geskryf. En na drie jaar van briefies skryf, handjies vashou en piksoene het Stephanus besluit dis tyd om die ja-woord te vra. Keer op keer het hy gaan ouers vra, maar Magdalena se pa het hom herhaaldelik weggejaag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephanus het op Oujaarsdag 1957 moed bymekaar geskrap en w\u00e8\u00e8r probeer. Weereens is hy afgekeur. Totdat \u2019n familievriend Magdalena se pa laat rede insien het en hy uiteindelik sy toestemming gegee het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twee maande later het die twee voor die kansel gestaan. \u201cMagdalena se pa het die huwelik net \u2019n maand kans gegee,\u201d vertel Stephanus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twee jaar later is die paar se eerste kind, \u2019n dogter, gebore. Nog drie dogters en \u2019n seun het oor die jare gevolg. Hulle het nou 16 kleinkinders, 10 agterkleinkinders en drie agter- agterkleinkinders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Baartman-paar s\u00ea hulle is mekaar se beste vriende, hou geen geheime vir mekaar nie en lag met mekaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy man is sjarmant en so aantreklik,\u201d s\u00ea tannie Maggie, terwyl die oom liggies bloos. Elke oggend maak hy my wakker met die woorde, Up, you beauty!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns huwelik is gekenmerk deur baie toetse, beproewings, ongelukke, struikelblokke, siekte, koue winternagte . . . maar ons het alles oorwin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrys die Here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
