Ek het ten minste eenmaal hier gekuier! My ma (Emmatentia Mare née van Wyk) se halfsuster het hier gebly. Sy was met die burgemeester van Klerksdorp getroud (hul name en vanne het my ontgaan maar ek kan dalk uitvind). Dié was ook 'n groot kokkedoor van die Sentraal Westelike Kooperasie. Daar was 'n spotprent in sy studeerkamer (die deel met die koepeldak!) van 'n mieliekop en 'n Total olieblik wat aan weerskante van hom trek in teenoorgestelde rigtings. Hy het iets te doen gehad om Total in SA te vestig soos ek dit onthou.
Dit was so tussen 1965 en 1968.
Die storie was dat toe die huis nog in aanbou was wou die eienaar na die boonste vloer gaan en vra toe waar die trap is. Hulle sê toe vir hom daar is nie een nie want daar is nie een op die plan aagedui nie. Hulle kom daar met die steiers... Daar is toe 'n ekstra muur in die kombuis gebou vir so 'n steil trappie na bo.
'n Kamer bo het ook nie 'n deuropening gehad nie want daar was nie een op die plan nie.
O ja ons was eenmaal uitgenooi vir 'n ete daar. Die gasvrou het natuurlik 'n skakelaar bokant die eetkamertafel gehad (wat van die plafon af hang) om bediendes te roep.
En ons het likeur in die ronderige studeerkamer gedrink. Ek was so min of meer in Standerd 8 of 9.
Terloops - my pa Gawie Maré het by die Stilfontein myn gewerk.
Sergio, thank you very much for your visit and like.
Nosy Varika is a lovely but remote village Jan, that same day I was lucky enough to capture a beautiful sunset at almost the same place as where I took the sunrise. If you want to see the sunset of Nosy Varika click here.
Thanks a lot for the kind comment and for Like!
