Oom Japie de Jager, die stigter van die alombekende De Jagers-klerewinkel, vier m\u00f4re (Vrydag 10 Februarie) sy 95ste verjaardag. <\/p>\n
Nie te lank gelede nie het hy en sy vrou, Johanna, hul 60ste huweliksherdenking gevier. <\/p>\n
Oom Japie het die befaamde klere-kettingwinkel in 1955 in Worcester geopen. Die groep se webtuiste verduidelik hy het op 27-jarige ouderdom van Keetmanshoop in Namibi\u00eb Kuilsrivier toe verhuis en saam met sy broer, Frikkie, en di\u00e9 se vrou, Babs, na plekke begin soek om die winkel te open. Hul soektog het hulle na Worcester gelei, en binne \u2019n dag nadat hy \u2019n plek na sy smaak gevind het, het hulle \u2019n toonbank en ander toebehore vir die winkel gekoop en die huurkontrak onderteken. <\/p>\n
Van daar af het sy skoonsuster (Babs) \u2019n tak in Kuilsrivier geopen, en toe het sy broer \u2019n jaar later een in Stellenbosch gevestig. In 1996 het die volgende geslag De Jagers \u2013 Jobre, Andries en Pieter \u2013 die leisels oorgeneem en die onderneming laat groei tot wat dit nou is. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy pa het baie hard gewerk om die winkeltjie \u2019n sukses te maak,\u201d s\u00ea Andries De Jager. <\/p>\n
Japie en Johanna het mekaar in 1961 ontmoet. Sy was toe nog \u2019n onderwyseres.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy ma het by die Laer Seunskool vir 42 graad 1-seuntjies skoolgehou. Dit was baie harde werk. Hulle het deur gemeenskaplike vriende in 1961 ontmoet en ook saam Volkspele gedoen. My ma het \u2019n beter pos in Patensie gekry en my pa het besef dat hy die pragtige meisie gaan verloor,\u201d verduidelik hy.<\/p>\n
Die paartjie is twee jaar later in 1963 getroud en het vyf kinders in die lewe gebring. <\/p>\n
\u201cOns het gevoel ons hou van mekaar en ons kom reg met mekaar. Toe het ons later besluit hoekom sal ons wag totdat ons stokhoringoud is?\u201d vertel tannie Johanna. <\/p>\n
Terwyl tannie Johanna op Patensie skoolgehou het, het oom Japie gereeld daar by haar gaan kuier.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn die jaar wat hy in Patensie by tannie Johanna gaan kuier het, het hy haar ook na sy geboortedorp en grootword-plaas buite Albertinia genooi om aan sy ouers voor te stel. Die mense van Albertinia kon nie verstaan waarom hy agter \u2019n vrou Patensie toe aanry as daar dan soveel oulike vroue in sy tuisdorp was nie. <\/p>\n
Tannie Johanna s\u00ea haar ma het gedink die winkel gaan nie vir die gesin kan voorsien nie. \u201cHierdie winkeltjie? Nee, my kind, hier gaan jy nie \u2019n lewe kan maak nie,\u201d onthou tannie Johanna oor wat haar ma ges\u00ea het. \u201cJy gaan nie jou onderwyssalaris verdien nie; jy gaan nie bo uitkom nie \u2013 jy moet \u2019n ander plan maak.\u201d<\/p>\n
Suria Basson, een van die paartjie se kinders, meen die rede vir hul langdurige huwelik is hul liefde vir mekaar en vir God.<\/p>\n
\u201cHulle het deur dik en dun, voor- en te\u00ebspoed, bymekaar gebly. Hul liefde vir mekaar en vir hul God is sigbaar in alles wat hulle doen. Ons as kinders, tesame met die winkel, was altyd bo-aan hul prioriteitslys.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
