Vroegoggend verander die straat in ‘n eenrigting en ongeveer 800 kinders moet so gou moontlik in die skool inkom.
Die een persoon wat seker maak dat daar nie ‘n verkeersknoop is nie is Marietha. Sy is al 7 uur op haar pos en reguleer die motors en kinders met ‘n gemak wat nie altyd by almal bespeur is nie.
Die warboel van motors, ouers en kinders verander vinnig in ‘n georganiseerde beweging onder die bekwame hand van Marietha.
“Ek het twee dae verkluim,” Lag Marietha, “toe trek ek sommer baie lae klere aan. Sommer twee pare handskoene ook.”
Dit is opmerklik dat die ouers geduldig hulle beurt afwag voor die skool. Die kinders het ook vinnig geleer van sosiale afstand en wag dan geduldig hulle beurt af voor die skool om deur die personeel geskandeer te word en vinnige vrae te antwoord. Daar is ook nog tyd vir ‘n vinnige “hoe gaan dit!”
En tussen dit alles is daar een persoon wat uitstaan, wat deur die warboel ‘n wakende oog op alles hou. Mev Cole!

Ons staan nou op ‘n baie moeilike plek in ons bestaan, waar is jy in alles?Jy is dalk moedeloos, benoud, bedroef of bekommerd.
Miskien is dit meer as die pandemie, miskien is dit ‘n ander gesondheidstoestand of ‘n werk of verhoudings bekommernis.
In al hierdie dinge, wat het jy in jou hand, miskien moet jy dit vir die Here gee, miskien voel jy ek het niks oor om te gee nie, miskien is dit juis die plek wat jy jouself vir die Here moet gee.
Omtrent al Jesus se tekens en wonderwerke het gebeur net nadat daar ‘n situasie of toestand van moedeloosheid, benoudheid of bekommernis was, in sekere gevalle selfs dood.
Wonder of dit nie so met meestal goed in ons lewens is nie? Dat juis wanneer ons na ons hand kyk en daar niks is wat ons meer kan doen nie, dat God daar wonderwerke doen.
Een van hierdie stories begin waar Jesus een van sy wonderwerke doen. Hy leer die skare mense in Johannes 6 en dan raak dit laat en hierdie mense moet eet, nie bietjie mense nie, duisende.
Jesus begin weer met ‘n vraag… is dit nie te toevallig dat Jesus ons nader met vrae nie… Johannes 6:5 (Die Boodskap) – Jesus het na die groot klomp mense gekyk wat saam met Hom gekom het.
Party was nog besig om teen die berg op te stap na Hom toe. Hy vra toe vir Filippus: “Is daar ’n winkel hier naby waar ons brood kan koop vir al hierdie mense?”Filippus moes seker dink Jesus maak ‘n grap – hier is duidende mense!
Johannes 6:6 (Die Boodskap) – Hy het dit vir Filippus gevra om te kyk wat Filippus sou sê. Hy het egter al klaar geweet hoe Hy die probleem sou oplos.
Johannes 6:7 (Die Boodskap) – “Al werk ek agt maande aanmekaar, sal ek nie eens genoeg geld hê om vir al hierdie mense iets te gee om te eet nie,” sê Filippus.
Wat Filippus eintlik vir Jesus sê is; hierdie is amper onmoontlik, daar is geen kans dat ons dit sal kan doen nie.
Is dit nie die plek en antwoord wat God van ons soek nie – die plek van; “Daar is niks wat ek meer kan doen nie!” Sodat Hy kan werk soos net Hy kan nie!
Johannes 6:8,9 (Die Boodskap) – Andreas, die broer van Simon Petrus, wat ook ’n getroue volgeling van Jesus was, sê toe vir Hom; “Wel, hier is darem ’n kind met so ’n ietsie. Hy het vyf klein garsbroodjies en twee vissies. Maar ek moet sê, ek weet nie hoe dit ons eintlik gaan help nie.
Andreas weet dis ‘n dom voorstel maar hy maak die voorstel, ek kan net dink wat die kommentaar was van die ander. Andreas is nie genoeg nie, hierdie is eintlik belaglik, maar hier is iets…Jesus sê ek kan met iets werk!
Wat het jy in jou hand?
Johannes 6:10 (Die Boodskap) – Jesus sê toe: “Sê vir die mense om vir hulle ’n plek te kry om te sit.”
Daar was gras waar die mense hulle toe lekker tuis gemaak het. Net die mans alleen was omtrent 5 000. Daar was baie mense.
Johannes 6:11 (Die Boodskap) – Jesus het toe die garsbroodjies by die seuntjie gevat en vir God dankie gesê vir die kos. Hy het die broodjies toe onder die mense begin uitdeel. Hy het dieselfde met die vis gedoen.
En die mense het geëet, soveel as wat hulle wou.
2 Vissies en 5 broodjies gee vir duisende mense kos? Ek weet nie van jou nie maar hierdie sou my lewe vir altyd verander het. Dink vir ‘n oomblik aan daardie seuntjie se gesig toe sy vissies en broodjies uitgedeel word vir duisende mense.
Jesus sê; ek soek net dit in jou hand, al is dit verregaande of belaglik, ek kan met dit werk.
Johannes 6:12 (Die Boodskap) – Toe die mense genoeg gehad het om te eet, sê Jesus vir sy volgelinge: “Ek sien daar het heelwat kos oorgebly. Gaan maak dit bymekaar sodat niks gemors word nie.”
Is dit sarkasties? Ek sien daar het kos oorgebly sê Jesus… 8 Maande Filippus? Toemaar ek doen dit in ‘n oomblik.
Hoe vertrou ek en jy die Here van die onmoontlike?

Die Radikale Redenaar is die breinbaba van Chantelle de Wet, ’n gepubliseerde skrywer en ’n bekende naam in die kring van redenaars. As onderwyseres het sy al hoe meer die nood gesien vir die ontwikkeling van sprekersvaardighede onder leerders en alhoewel daar reeds redenaarskompetisies was, het slegs enkele kinders die geleentheid gekry om hierby betrokke te raak. Aangesien Chantelle geweet het hoeveel tyd en moeite in ’n toespraak ingaan, het sy besluit om ’n redenaarsfees op die been te bring, al was dit slegs om leerders die geleentheid te gee om te kan praat.
Die Radikale Redenaarsfees (RRF) is vir die eerste keer in 2007 aangebied in Pretoria. In 2008 het die RRF uitgebrei na 4 provinsies en in 2009 is dit vir die eerste keer op Nasionale vlak aangebied. Tans is daar deelname in al 9 provinsies. Nuwe kategorieë het ontstaan op aanvraag en die Radikale Leesfees het ook bygedra tot meer leerderdeelname. In 2016 het Chantelle die leisels oorgegee aan Linda Henning en so groei die RRF van krag tot krag
Make a difference, donate at various SANBS donor centres across GMM
One of the most valuable lessons we have learned from this COVID-19 pandemic is that the gift of good health can be fleeting and we need to cherish it. For some, the remedies for good health may be complex and for others, they are as simple as receiving a transfusion of blood, plasma or platelets.

This Mandela Day, as we mark the day celebrated the world over on the 18th of July, the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) encourages South Africans to choose a path similar to that of our former president – of active citizenship, nation-building and service to others. This year, the SANBS challenges you to take action and inspire change by committing to blood donation and encouraging family and friends to do the same. To make a difference, it takes less than 67 minutes of your time.
David Porter, who suffers from haemophilia, relies on generous blood donations to stay healthy. He is one of the people who are benefitting from your selfless acts. “I urge everyone, please don’t let COVID-19 stop you from donating blood. There are still people who need blood, including myself and I need it to lead a normal life,” David said.
