RUGBYKYKERS wat volgende jaarbeplan om die Griekwas sewedstryde op GWK-park by tewoon kan dit sterk oorweeg om sotwee uur voor die afskop al ’ndraai langs die hoofpaviljoen tegaan maak.Dit is nou noord van die

paviljoen waar die nuwe grootskerm opgerig is.Daar sal jy sonder twyfel die

driejarige knapie Daniel Faberaantref.Hy is sedert verlede jaar ’n

gereelde gesig by die stadion enloop nie maklik sy gunstelingspanse wedstryde mis nie.Nie net is dit te kostelik om te

sien hoe hy pale toe skop nie,maar hoe hy geklee is, maak vanhom ’n groot treffer.Benewens Daniel se skrumpet,

skouerkussings, rugbytrui ensokkies kom sowat vier rugbybal-le, ’n skopkegel, “rugbypale”, ’nkrieketkolf en -bal saam. Die paleis twee stokke wat in ’n hoopgrond ingedruk word en dan aspale dien. Sy pa, Ivan, is syafrigter.

As hy moeg word vir pale toeskop, haal hy sy skrumpet af, bêrehy die bal en haal hy sy krieket-kolf uit. Dan speel die twee ’nbietjie krieket.Daniel verwys na sy skrumpet

as sy “Vittie Vittie”, verwysendna Victor Matfield (sy groot held)wat sy hele loopbaan met ’nskrumpet gespeel het.Wat merkwaardig van Daniel is,

is hoe goed hy sy rugby ken. Hyken die spelers op die naam. Jykan hom maar vra wie speelnommer 2, 3, 11 of 14 vir dieGriekwas. Hy sal jou kan sê. Of

wat die Griekwas se uitslaevanjaar was. Die vleuel RoccoJansen is sy gunstelingspeler.Hy ken selfs die Griekwas-lied-

jie, Ons is die Griekwas, en singdit ewe met sy hand op die bors.Of as jy hom vra om die volksliedte sing gryp hy instinktief na sybors.Klein Daniel is tydens die

2011-Wêreldbekerrugbytoernooi dieeerste keer aan die spel bekendgestel. Hy was toe amper tweejaar oud. Hy gaan volgens syouers behoorlik “mal” tydenstelevisie-wedstryde.

Hy en sy pa is vinnig besig omcelebs by die stadion te word metbaie mense wat foto’s neem of netin verwondering staan en kyk hoehy pale toe aanlê.Daniel se skoptegniek is geskoei

op dié van Johnny Wilkinson enPercy Montgomery, voormaligestelskoppers van Engeland enSuid-Afrika onderskeidelik. Hy het’n video van Montgomery, Kickingwith Percy onder oë gehad en hetduidelik mooi opgelet.Volgens Ivan is die hele gesin

baie groot ondersteuners van dieGriekwas.

Daniel bekende gesig by stadion

KLEIN DANIEL FABER is net drie jaar oud, maar sytegniek om suksesvol pale toe aan te lê is baie nabyaan perfek. Só doen hy dit. Eers gee pa Ivan die balvir Daniel aan waarna die bal baie noukeurig op dieskopkegel gestel word. Pa speel die rol van baljoggieen moet die bal gaan haal as Seun klaar geskop het.

Foto’s: Ruan Bruwer

HY tree aan en korrel pale toe, hande mooi netjiesgevleg, nes hy Jonny Wilkinson dit op televisie gesien doen het. Daarna kom hy vorentoe, ene konsentrasie en oë op die bal gefokus.

DIE bal trek pale toe, maar gaan dit genoeg inswaai verby die linkerkantste regoppaal?

AS jy iets waardevols in Kimber-ley verloor het, hou duim vasYaseen Hanns was in die omge-wing. Dan is jou kanse nie te slegdat jy dit sal terugkry nie.Yaseen, ’n werknemer van die

skoenwinkel Modax in diemiddestad, het in Mei die selfoonvan Johanna van Eeden, redak-teur van Noordkaap se moederkoe-rant, Volksblad, in Georgestraatopgetel.Sy het haar Blackberry einde

Mei verloor toe sy hier was virdie Noord-Kapenaar van dieJaar-geleentheid. Sy het aanvaardie foon is gesteel en die simkaartlaat kanselleer.Yaseen het sy simkaart in die

foon gesit met die hoop dat hy opdie een of ander manier dieeienaar sou kon opspoor.Toe ontvang die foon ’n BBM-

uitnodiging van Johanna seskoonsuster en kon Yaseen ’ngesprek begin om die eienaar teprobeer opspoor.“Die simkaart was uitgehaal toe

ek dit opgetel het en ek het myneingesit totdat die BBM-uitnodiginggekom het,” het hy vertel.Op ’n ander geleentheid het hy

gesien hoe ’n man uit ’n taxi klimen agter iemand aan hardloop. Indie proses het die man se selfoonop die grond geval.

“Ek het die man probeer roep,maar hy kon my nie hoor nie. Ekhet die foon gaan optel en by mygehou. So 20 minute later het hydie foon gebel en ek kon dit aanhom teruggee. Hy was baie bly.”Maar dit is nie net selfone wat

Yaseen al opgetel het wat vanwaarde is nie.Toe hy op Sasolburg in ’n Pick

n Pay gewerk het, het hy een slag’n banksakkie met geld opgetel.Die eienaar het dit kort daarnakom terugeis. Daar was R1 800 sekontant in die sakkie.Hy het ook al ’n beursie in Pep

opgetel. “Ek het dit gehou, wantek glo dit is veiliger as om dit vir

iemand by ontvangs te gee om tehou totdat iemand daaroornavraag doen.“Die vrou (eienaar van die

beursie) was geskok. Ek het gesêsy kan maar tel, al die geld is nogdaarin. Sy was nie gepla oor diegeld nie, eerder te dankbaar diekaarte was nog almal daar.”Yaseen sê hy glo aan eerlikheid

en om dit wat aan iemand andersbehoort aan daardie mens terug tebesorg.Hy was egter self nie so geluk-

kig toe hy sy foon verloor het nie.Toe hy na die nommer bel, wasdie foon reeds afgeskakel en hethy dit nie weer te siene gekry nie.

Yaseen vindwat weg is

YASEEN HANNS het al twee selfone opgetel en dit in albei gevalle aandie regmatige eienaar terugbesorg. Hy het ook ’n banksakkie vol note,sowel as ’n beursie, opgetel en seker gemaak dit beland weer by diemense aan wie dit behoort. Foto: Ruan Bruwer

’n STOFSTORM soos lanklaas in Kimberley ervaar is, het die stadin September met ’n knal getref. Waar dit vir die meeste menseongerieflik was, sou motorwasserye egter breed geglimlag het.Winderige toestande het daartoe gelei dat die program vir die bekendstelling van die Sol Plaatjeuniversiteit verkort moes worden tente moes met bykomende kabels versterk word. Die windspoed in Kimberley was 60 km/h en daar was ook windspoed vantussen 80 en 85 km/h in die streek aangedui. Foto: Emile Hendricks

DIE Laerskool Eureka se gr. 3’s het vanjaar ’n projek aangepak ommense bewus van besoedeling te maak. Die tema was die verskillende besoedelings, wat dit veroorsaak en hoe dit bekamp kanword. Hulle moes plakkate maak. Hulle het ook briewe vir kammakoerante geskryf. Suné Gouws het die beste en mooiste brief indie graad geskryf. Sy het dit self in klastyd neergepen. Onderaanhet die onderwyser, Ensa Venter, kommentaar gelewer. Lisa vanStaden het die mooiste plakkaat in die graad gemaak waarin sybeskryf het hoe mense die aarde trots kan maak. Hier is ’n skandering van die briefie.

DIE Groot Gat het in Julie ’n rukkie opsy gestaan as die grootste trekpleister in Kimberley. Mense het sonder ophou voor MichaelCalitz se huis inMeyerstraat in Hadisonparkgestop om foto’s te neem van ’n motor watin sy erf tot stilstand gekom het. Die bestuurder van die Kiasedan het beheer oordie voertuig verloor en sy heining disnis gery. Dit was op die dag presies ’n jaar sedert’n ander voertuig teen die einste muur vasgery het . . . Een wiel van die motor is gesteel voordat dit weggesleep is.

Wys ware toewydingMEISIES wat in Junie die GriekwalandWesse Krieketraad se winteroefenprogram bygewoon het, het met die veldwerksessie groot opwinding verskaf. Met tye was hullenet nie bereid om moontlik ’n nael te breek deur ’n bal te probeer vang of stop nie.Noluthando Laven se tegniek lyk perfek, oë gefokus op die bal, liggaamshouding indie regte posisie, alles soos haar afrigter, Lawrence Magugwana, oftewel Coach Papi,haar geleer het. Hy sou veral trots op dié poging gewees het terwyl hy meestal netsy kop geskud het oor die res van diemeisies se pogings om ’n bal te keer. Bottervingerswas op die dag oral te sien.

HELAAS . . . Dinge het nie heeltemal volgens plan verloop nie. Maar die bal is gekeeren Coach Papi kon Laven nie skel weens ’n gebrek aan toewyding nie. Al moes sy grasvir haar toewyding eet.

OM te sê netbal vloei deur dieMyburgh-familie van Kimberley seare is sagkens gestel. Jomari (17),het letterlike voor haar geboortedie ritme van die spel in haar mase baarmoeder ervaar en is daaraan die spel bekend gestel.Magda Myburgh was vier en ’n

half maande met Jomari swangertoe sy nog aan ’n nasionalenetbaltoernooi deelgeneem het.Jomari is net so ’n talentvolle

speler soos haar ma wat sedert 1984as ’n 19-jarige tot in 2007 as ’n43-jarige vrou provinsiaal netbalgespeel het. Sy is op twee geleent-hede in die Suid-Afrikaanse senioroefengroep ingesluit.

Magda het in 2006 aan dieHoërskool Noord-Kaap (HNK)netbal begin afrig en is sedert 2011die skool se eerstespanbreier. Syrig ook by die Laerskool Newton af.Sy is ’n Suid-Afrikaanse

A-skeidsregter wat beteken sy kanin nasionale senior toernooie asblaser optree. Dit is egter nie hierwaar haar netbalverpligtinge eindignie. Sy is ook die president vansowel die Frances Baard-distrik asdie Noord-Kaapse Netbalunie.Maroné (24), haar oudste dogter,

het ook provinsiaal netbal gespeel,maar onderskei haar deesdae asafrigter. Sy rig HNK se o.16-span af.Asof dié drie netbal-Myburghs

nie reeds baie is nie, is daar ooknog Magda se jonger suster, Tinkie

Smal, wat self lank provinsiaalgespeel het. Sy het vanjaar HNK seo.14-span afgerig. Sy is ook ’ntopskeidsregter.Anders as die drie ouer geslagte,

wat almal hulpdoel en doel gespeelhet, speel Jomari senter, ofskoon syop hulpdoel kan uithelp indien dienood druk.Sy is moontlik die talentvolste

speler van die vier. Jomari het inJulie die Griekwas se o.17-span indie nasionale Alle Ouderdomme-toernooi op Margate aangevoer. Sywas kaptein van al die provinsialespanne waarin sy gespeel het. Syhet reeds in haar gr. 8-jaar haarbuiging vir die eerste span gemaak,’n span wat sy vanjaar aangevoerhet.

IN ’n poging om iets aan kinders se gebrek-kige spelvermoë te doen het die gedagte aan’n spel-olimpiade by Sarie Myburgh, ’ngr. 1-onderwyser aan die Laerskool Staats,posgevat.

“Ek het die nood raakgesien. Die reaksiehierop was baie gunstig. Die kinders is perwoord deur hul ouers geborg. Die woordemoes dan geleer word voordat die hele skool(in Oktober) speltoetse geskryf het.

“Hoe meer woorde reg gespel is, hoe meergeld het die kind ontvang wat dan aan dieskool gegaan het. As aanmoediging was daarpryse vir leerlinge wie se uitslae die bestewas en vir die klas wat die meeste geld koninsamel,” het Myburgh verduidelik.

Gr. 1- tot gr. 3-leerlinge se woorde het uithul moedertaal bestaan en van gr. 4 tot gr. 7het die meeste van die woorde wat hullemoes leer uit hul taalkeuses bestaan. Diegr. 1’s moes 30 woorde leer en gr. 6’e engr. 7’s 70 woorde in hul eerste taal en 50 in

hul bykomende taal.Ouers is gevra om met die merkery te help

sodat hulle kon ervaar wat die stand vankinders se spelvermoë is.

Myburgh meen onderwysers lê nie altydgenoeg klem op korrekte spelling nie.

Marelize van Rooyen, ’n Staats-ouer, hetdit beaam. “My dogter sal sê die onderwyserhet gesê spelling is nie belangrik nie.”

Kommunikasie deur tegnologie (watgekenmerk word deur afkortings) lewervolgens Van Rooyen ’n groot bydrae.

“Dit gaan alles oor klank. Omdat kindersnie meer lees nie, skryf hulle woorde sooshulle dit hoor en sê. Jy sien dit in dieantwoordstelle. Ek verstaan nie my dogter seteksboodskappe nie. Dit moet ontsyfer word.”

Volgens die nasieners het woorde sooschaotiese, dictionary en modieuse gr. 6’e engr. 7’s laat kopkrap. Gr. 4’s en gr. 5’s het metwoorde soos breakfast, because, gekomponeeren korrekte gesukkel. Gr. 2’s en gr. 3’s hetweer probleme met die woorde geheim,northern, terug en question ondervind.

Olimpiade pak jonges se spelprobleme

TANYA SINDEN, die hoofmeisie van die Hoërskool Adamantia, wou iets vir haar matriekafskeid doen“wat almal lank gaan onthou” en het in Aspoestertjiestyl saam met Wikus Appelgryn in ’n pampoenop Hoffepark opgedaag waar die matriekafskeid in Augustus gehou is.

JY sien hulle elke oggend langsdie pad, op Maandae normaalwegin groter getalle as ander dae.Hul oë smeek jou as’t ware om

te stop en hulle ’n werkie aan tebied. As jy net in die omgewingstop, sak hulle desperaat op joutoe.As jy net verbyry, gooi hulle hul

hande in die lug wat beteken “hoelyk dit, het jy nie ’n werkie virmy nie?”.Dit is die werkloses in die

Diamantstad wat reken bedel isnie die antwoord nie.Hulle moet hul ambag langs die

pad gaan bemark.Die straathoeke by die vierrig-

tingstop waar Carters- en Cronin-weg kruis, is ’n gewilde staanplekvir werklose mense.Veral Maandae staan hulle die

straathoeke vol.Volgens die gereelde gesigte hier

is dit ’n gewilde plek om werk tesoek, aangesien mense al weethulle kan arbeiders hier kry.Simon Ndlovu en Basil Spring-

bok is normaalweg die vroegstehier, teen so 06:00 al.Die mededinging om werk is

dan minder, reken hulle.Ndlovu is baie uitgesproke oor

werkgewers wat net goedkooparbeid soek.“Hulle betaal ons te min. Selfs

van die groot sakeondernemingsonderbetaal ’n mens. Baie van onshier het ’n ambag, maar wordmisbruik. Die werkgewer besluitgewoonlik hoeveel hulle wil

betaal, dan kan jy besluit of jyvan die aanbod gebruik gaanmaak.“Ek self sal vir ’n minimum van

R100 ’n dag werk, niks mindernie. Ons werk net so hard soos dieplaaswerkers wie se minimumloonnou R105 ’n dag is en wat op R150aandring. Ons sê soms maar ja virdie min betaling, ons het nieeintlik ’n keuse nie,” het hyvertel.Hoe besluit hulle op watter hoek

om te staan?“Jy kyk waar jy die vinnigste

kan opspring (agter op diebakkie). Dit help om hard te werken ’n goeie indruk te laat, jy krydat daardie mense (werkgewers)terugkom en spesifiek vir jou komsoek vir volgende werkies.“Dan het jy ander kere mense

wat spesifiek sê ‘hulle soek daaivier manne’,” het Springbok gesê.“Op dae wat die werk min is,

bly ons glo môre sal beter wees.Ons glo altyd aan môre,” is hulledit eens.Die laaste week van ’n maand is

volgens die manne die beste tydom hier te staan.Richard Morwane het hom in

Februarie net vir die week hieraangesluit.Hy het ’n vaste betrekking,

maar het ’n week verlof waarinhy steeds ’n ekstra inkomsteprobeer verdien. Hy soek, sooshulle dit noem, ’n skroppetjie (loswerkie).Die ander manne het nie ’n

probleem met hom nie – hullebesef almal is desperaat vir werk.

JY kry talent, jy kry meer talent,dan kry jy die Potgieter-sussiesvan Kimberley.Benewens hul hope talent is

hulle boonop almal mooi, nederig,akademies sterk en gee deurgaanserkenning aan ander mense enaan God. Hulle is ook mekaar sebeste maats.Beatrice (gr. 12) en Stephanie

(gr. 11), albei leerlinge aan dieHoërskool Diamantveld, het inMaart die asem weggeslaan methul wennommer in die skool setalentkompetisie, Diamonds gotTalent.Hulle het nie verwag om te wen

nie en was nie eens gereed om opdie verhoog te gaan om hul pryste ontvang nie.“Ons is op die laaste nippertjie

gevra om ons in te skryf. Ons hetdie Saterdag voor die Dinsdag sekompetisie vinnig ’n dansbewe-ging uitgewerk en ná 90 minutewas ons gereed, ofskoon ons dieDinsdag nog die laaste skaafwerkgedoen het.”Hulle het R600 gewen, maar

hiervan het Stephanie niks gesiennie – sy was in die skuld by haarouer sus.Hul dansnommer het uit ’n

kombinasie van ballet, gimnastiek,skopboks en improvisasie bestaan.Ousus Annelieze is volgens haar

twee jonger sussies ’n selfs beterdanser. Sy is steeds ’n bobaas-bal-letdanser.Vir die Potgieters het alles met

ritmiese gimnastiek begin. Al driewas op die Suid-Afrikaansekampioenskappe al onder dievoorste drie in die land. Hulle wasal drie ’n jaar (2009) in die kuns-gerigte St. Cyprian’s GrammarSchool waar hulle die meeste tydaan dans bestee het, aangesiendaar gereeld geleenthede was omop te tree. Hulle het hier ’ndansgroep gestig. Hulle het nogaltyd hul eie dansbewegings

uitgewerk en weinig afrigting ofraad ontvang.“Ons het maar na video’s gekyk

van hoe ander dit doen en daaruitgeleer,” het Stephanie vertel.Hoekom neem hulle nie meer

gereeld aan talentkompetisies deelnie? Beatrice antwoord: “Dit ismeer entertainment en val nieeintlik in ’n sekere genre nie.”Volgens haar spoor hulle mekaardeurgaans aan. “As my sussie ditkan doen, kan ek ook,” het sy hulresep vir hul sukses as dansers,gimnaste en ook op akademiesegebied verduidelik.

DIT was vanjaar net mooi 50jaar sedert hulle mekaar laas opskool gesien het dat tweeoud-Krugersdorpers mekaarheel toevallig weer in Kimber-ley opgespoor het.

Johanna Fick en Louisa deBeer het amper 500 km vanwaar hulle ’n straat van mekaaraf op Krugersdorp gewoon het,mekaar weer raakgeloop.

Albei vroue het in die vroeë1960’s saam aan die HoërskoolJan de Klerk skoolgegaan. Hulleverskil ’n jaar in ouderdom.

Johanna is by haar kerk seKleipotklub wat voorbiddingdoen, betrokke en het op diespoor van ene Louisa de Beergekom.

“Ek het gebel en gehoor sy isnie tuis nie, sy kuier op Kru-gersdorp. Dadelik was ek nuus-kierig, want ek kom mos ookvan daar. Toe sy terug is, hetek weer gebel en uitgevra watsy daar gaan maak het en wathaar verbintenis met Krugers-dorp is,” het Johanna vertel.

Baie van Louisa se familieledewoon steeds daar. Sy en haarman woon die afgelope 31 jaarin die Diamantstad en Johannasedert 2011.

“Daardie gesprek oor dietelefoon het seker ’n uur en ’nhalf geduur. Hoe langer onsgesels het, hoe meer het ons totdie besef gekom ons kenmekaar eintlik, hoewel onssedert skooldae geen kontakgehad het nie.”

Louisa het gesê sy hetJohanna nie op skool geken nie,maar het net van haar geweet.

“Ons het later vasgestel onshet mekaar geken, nie persoon-lik nie, maar wel van mekaargeweet. Dit was nou regtiglekker om daardie onthoupad testap van ons kinderdae opKrugersdorp-Wes wat ’n lekkergebied was om in groot teword,” het Louisa gesê.

Hulle het seker gemaak hullekom by mekaar uit en sienmekaar sedertdien gereeld.

Hulle stem saam Kimberley isbeter as Krugersdorp. Hier isminder verkeer, dit is skoner enveiliger, maar het wel niedieselfde aantal inkopiesen-trums en koopkrag nie.

Die twee meen verder mensebehoort deesdae met dietegnologie beskikbaar en metiets soos Facebook nie meersoos hulle in die war te weeswaar die ander een hom of haarsedert hul skooldae bevind nie.

HY wou maar net ’n handteke-ning gehad het, toe kry hy ditén ’n pasella.

’n Reuse-meevaller het JuanValkenborgh in Januarie tebeurt geval toe hy die aand nádie eendagwedstryd tussenSuid-Afrika en Nieu-Seeland bydie huis gekom het met ’nkrieketkolf waarmee hy niekrieket toe is nie.

Die kolf se eienaar was vroeërdie Kiwi Colin Munro. Juan, ’nkrieketliefhebber, vertel hy hetlank gespook om Munro sehandtekening te kry.

“Hy het op die grens veld-werk gedoen en ek moes lankvir ’n handtekening smeek,seker so vier of vyf keervoordat hy eindelik op my hoedgeteken het.

“Ná die wedstryd het ek virdie Proteas gewag om hulhandtekeninge te kry toe hy(Munro) onverwags na my toegestap kom en sy krieketkolf

aan my oorhandig. Hy het myseker as die outjie herken watso vir sy handtekening gesmeekhet. Hy het gesê: ‘Hier, dit isnou joune. Maak dit reg en jykan dit gebruik’.”

Juan sê hy het die aand bydie huis dadelik sy ma gevraom oor Munro te Google en wouonder meer weet wat sykolfgemiddeld is.

Hy was nog meer beïndruktoe hy verneem Munro iseintlik ’n Suid-Afrikaner wat in2002 na Nieu-Seeland verhuishet. Hulle het intussen uitge-vind daardie kolf kan tot $340(sowat R3 043) kos.

“Ek wil graag met die kolfspeel, maar my pa reken ekmoet dit eerder raam. Diewilgerlat is goed ingeslaan.”

Juan het net verleë gelag toesy ma vertel het hy het dievolgende oggend met die kolflangs hom in die bed en syhoed op sy kop (met diehandtekeninge op) wakkergeword.

PARTY kinders kan nou eenmaal nie keerom hul ouers se byname te erf nie, alprobeer hulle hoe hard om daardie nameaf te skud.As jy boonop byname soos Dagga of

Spinnekop het, wel, dan sou jy seker graageerder op jou geboortename genoem wilword, al is dit Bernardus Lambertus enWillem Jacobus (Dagga en Spinnekop segeboortename onderskeidelik).Op vanjaar se Cravenweek is Nardus

Bosman en Willie van Aswegen wel deurdie omroepers op hul name uitgeroep,maar op die veld is hulle deur hul span-maats as Dagga en Spinnekop aangespreek.Dié name het hulle by hul pa’s geërf wat

steeds só genoem word. Nardus se pa isDagga Bosman en Willie se pa Spinnekopvan Aswegen. Soms word hy Spidergenoem. Van Aswegen se jonger seun,Conraad, heet Spinny.Dagga het vertel sy ouer broer was

bekend as Zol en toe hy drie jaar ná Zol

op hoërskool kom (die Hoërskool Landbou-dal op Jacobsdal), het Hawie Bosmandadelik Dagga Bosman geword en kenmense hom drie dekades later steeds netop dié naam.“Ek rook nie eens nie. Ek drink, ja,

maar jy kan maar vra, ek rook nie.”Van Aswegen, wat op hoërskool (die

Hoërskool Christiana) ’n hekkie-atleet was,het sy naam gekry omdat hy vir syskoolmaats soos ’n spinnekop gelyk hetsoos hy oor die hekkies gespring het.Sy regte naam is dieselfde as dié van sy

oudste seun – Willie.Dagga en Spinnekop het in ’n tydperk

gespeel toe vreemde byname vir spanmaatsby die Griekwas hoogty gevier het.Daar was Viervoet (Liebenberg), Bok

(Markram), Haas (van Zyl), Hakkies(Husselman), Duimpie (Theron), Scholla(Scholtz), Makwas (van der Walt), Chappy(van Vliet), Slang (Roux), Stompie (Fourie),Kraai (van Niekerk), Kriek (Erasmus),Wommers (Brown), Muis (Viviers), Biltong(Grobbelaar) en Vlakhaas (Ross).

Brian Kidson, commercialdirector at Griquas, decided toleave the board.

“Although this is the end of anera I am confident about the futureof Griquas. I’m leaving Griquas inthe best possible hands. I’mpositive Griquas will grow fromstrength to strength.

“I have no regrets and I’ve madethe decision in my own bestinterest.

“It was a difficult decision tomake. I have great memories andI’m privileged to have made thefriendships I have throughout thecricket family. I hope I havecontributed to cricket in SouthAfrica,” he said.

He said there had been only fourpersonnel members when he hadstarted there in 1993, and of themonly Sipho Mzimba, the grounds-man, is still around.

One of the major achievementshighlighted by Kidson was the firstday-night provincial match playedat the Diamond Oval in 1996.

Since then a number of interna-tional matches, including threeWorld Cup encounters, has regular-ly been awarded to the grounds.
