Cause C\u00e9l\u00e8bre<\/i>, A Biography of Bevil John Rudd<\/i>, \u2019n biografie van een van Touwsrivier se bekendste inwoners, is onlangs in die Verenigde Koninkryk uitgegee.<\/p>\n
Die skrywers van die boek is Lin Mehmel en Patrick Streeter, afstammelinge van Leonard Streeter, \u2019n destydse redakteur van Standard<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Bevil John Rudd, alombekend as Mister Rudd, was \u2019n bekende boer en ontwikkelaar in die Touwsrivier-omgewing. Hy het later Worcester toe getrek.<\/p>\n
Rudd is op 7 April 1927 in Kimberley gebore. Hy is \u2019n afstammeling van Charles Rudd, \u2019n stigterslid van die Suid-Afrikaanse diamantmynreus, De Beers. Sy pa, Bevil Rudd, was \u2019n 400 m goue medaljewenner by die Olimpiese Spele van 1920.<\/p>\n
Rudd was \u2019n ervare reisiger en het in verskeie lande gewoon en gereis, maar Suid-Afrika was waar sy siel rus gevind het.<\/p>\n
Hy is op 31 Augustus 2009 in die ouderdom van 82 oorlede nadat hy \u2019n vol lewe gehad het as \u2019n wagtebeampte, sakeman, joernalis en veeboer. <\/p>\n
Rudd het in die vroe\u00eb 1990\u2019s die plaas Karbonaatjeskraal (vandag Karoo 1) langs die N1 net buite Touwsrivier gekoop. Dit is later in \u2019n gasteplaas omskep.<\/p>\n
Hy is veral geken vir sy goedhartigheid teenoor sy werkers en vriendelikheid teenoor die Touwsrivier-gemeenskap. <\/p>\n
\u201cHy het altyd in jou behoeftes voorsien en geglo net soos die gastekamers mooigemaak word, s\u00f3 ook moet die werkers se huise onderhou word,\u201d vertel Elsabie Andrews, wat twaalf jaar vir Rudd gewerk het.<\/p>\n
\u201cD\u00edt het ek nou weer van die Engelsman gehou. Jy was nie net sy plaaswerker en jou huis kan daarbo soos kiepie lyk en die gaste se kamers lyk gr\u00eand nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Volgens haar het hy nie verwag dat sy werkers Engels moes leer praat nie, maar het eerder self Afrikaans geleer om hulle te akkommodeer. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk het altyd vir hom Afrikaanse woorde soos \u2018goeie m\u00f4re\u2019 en \u2018hoe gaan dit?\u2019 op \u2019n bladsy geskryf en s\u00f3 het hy geleer,\u201d vertel Andrews.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns het later agtergekom hy verstaan die taal toe hy skelm begin lag het terwyl ons werkers Afrikaans met mekaar praat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rudd het in 1961 \u2019n opskudding veroorsaak toe hy in hegtenis geneem is vir die oortreding van die destydse Ontugwet toe hy in die bed betrap is met Dotty Tiyo. Di\u00e9 wet het mense verbied om verhoudings oor die kleurgrens te h\u00ea. <\/p>\n
Daar is destyds juis bespiegel dat Andrews en Rudd ook \u2019n skelm verhouding gehad het, maar sy het dit ontken en ges\u00ea: \u201cHy het my aangeneem as sy peetkind.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rudd het die plaas in 2009 verkoop met al die personeellede as deel van die kontrak. <\/p>\n
\u201cHy het seker gemaak ons behou ons werk toe hy gaan aftree het. Dit het ons hard getref toe hy gesterf het. Ons het altyd ges\u00ea hy sou nie lank leef as hy moes trek nie, want hy was \u2019n boer in murg en been.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
