Elbey se genadepad<\/span>, geproeflees, gedruk en gereed om \u2019n boodskap van hoop aan ander te verkondig.<\/p>\n\u201cEk het nie \u2019n maklike kinderlewe gehad nie, maar ek het wonderlike ouers gehad. Dit het opgemaak vir baie,\u201d vertel van Rensburg aan Standard<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Sy is die afgelope bykans drie dekades \u2019n Ceresiet, maar het haar grootwordjare in Touwsrivier deurgebring.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy pa, Dickson Jonas, was van Malawi en my ma, Violet, \u2019n Bolander. Hulle het op \u2019n dag, nadat my pa vir sy lewe uit Malawi gevlug het, in Touwsrivier ontmoet. Dit was liefde met die eerste oogopslag. My ouers was my alles. My pa was my grootste ondersteuner en my ma was net altyd daar vir ons vyf kinders.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daar was ingevolge apartheidswetgewing nie \u2019n skool wat sy in Touwsrivier mag bygewoon het nie, maar sy wou graag leer.<\/p>\n
Op \u2019n dag het sy en \u2019n vriendin \u2019n beursie in die straat opgetel en dadelik \u2019n plan gemaak om dit by die eienaar uit te kry.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit was heel per toeval, maar ek kon die vrou dieselfde dag nog opspoor. Toe ek haar op die straathoek sien staan en gesels met \u2019n vrou wat my familie geken het, het ek dadelik die beursie aan haar terugbesorg. Sy het my bedank en vir my gevra waarom ek nie skoolgaan nie. Daardie interaksie het my hele lewe verander,\u201d voeg sy by.<\/p>\n
Die vrou, wat ook \u2019n opvoeder in die Matroosberg-streek was, het vir van Rensburg \u2019n daaglikse saamrygeleentheid aangebied en haar ook gehelp om by die skool in te skryf. So het haar skooldae begin.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk moes toe in \u2019n stadium per trein elke dag na Matroosberg reis, toe die vrou nie meer \u2019n geleentheid kon bied nie. My pa het my elke oggend moed ingepraat en my laat glo dat ek enigiets kan bereik. Ek het my skoolloopbaan later in Ceres voltooi en is daarna Kaapstad toe om my onderwyskwalifikasie te kry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daarna het Van Rensburg omtrent die Boland verken en ook in die Koo-distrik as onderwyser gewerk. Sy het \u2019n man ontmoet en hulle het \u2019n dogter in die lewe gebring. Die verhouding het ongelukkig \u2019n paar jaar later tot \u2019n einde gekom.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit was \u2019n hartseer dag, maar ek moes uit die huwelik tree. Ek was baie ontsteld en die skoolhoof by wie ek werksaam was in daardie stadium het my getroos en my laat besef dat dit nie my skuld was nie. Ek het vir die eerste keer weer menswaardig gevoel. Ek het daaruit ook geleer dat geen vrou \u2019n man aan haar sy nodig het om waardig te voel nie. Ons kan enigiets bereik wat ons wil.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daarna het Van Rensburg weer in Ceres beland en jare lank as onderwyser gewerk totdat sy in 2018 afgetree het.<\/p>\n
Sy het ook toe haar ma aan die dood afgestaan, dit nadat haar pa in die vroe\u00eb jare 2000 oorlede is. <\/p>\n
\u201cHul dood het my diep geraak. Veral my pa s\u2019n. Ek kon bykans twee jaar lank nie werk nie. Ek was verpletter. Deur die Here se genade kon ek weer opstaan \u2013 en ek het. Dit is waaroor hierdie boek handel.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit is my boodskap,\u201d voeg Van Rensburg by.<\/p>\n
Sy het op Saterdag 6 Mei \u2019n intieme boekbekendstelling gehou by die Togryersmuseum in Ceres en haar lewensverhaal met die gaste gedeel. Sy wil ander inspireer om ook hul weg te vind en om nooit moed te verloor nie.<\/p>\n
