D
ie koue is hier en
volgens die weerprofete
gaan dit nog ‘n hele ruk
voortduur, “ ‘n laat
winter”, sê hulle. Dan maar deur die
proses gaan om al die kledingstukke
oormekaar aan te trek totdat jy
naderhand soos ‘n ui voel, - laag op
laag op laag op laag.
Yes, it is the time of year again
when a steaming cup of soup, coffee or chocolate or perhaps something a bit stronger helps to keep
the cold away. Warmth is what we
need, warmth of both the body and
the mind and I trust that reading
this edition of Agri Kultuur/Culture
will also assist in bringing you the
warmth that it afforded us.
So gepraat van warmte, dit is ook
jagtyd en vir menige kranige jagter
beteken dit ook heerlike samesyn
om ‘n warm kampvuur; of dit nou
in die warmer bosveld van die
noorde of die koue suide is, ‘n
kampvuur bring mense bymekaar.
As ‘n jagter hom boonop hou by die
etiek van jag en nie geblikte wild
vanaf ‘n bakkie vernietig nie, kan jy
met ‘n skoon gewete saans jou
stories van bekruip, die volmaakte
skoot of die mislukking van die dag
rustig met jou jagmaats deel. Dr
Gerhard Verdoorn, self ‘n kranige
jagter, deel hierdie maand sy
perspektiewe rondom dié aspek met
ons lesers.
Still on the topic of warmth: I realised in putting together this edition,
how many positive things there still
are in our country that can bring
warmth to the soul. You will note
form this edition that most of the
articles we published this month
were written by authors who are
passionately motivated to share
their knowledge and expertise with
our readers, each trying in his/her
own way to keep us abreast of the
latest trends and technology but
are also actively trying to ensure
humankind’s survival for the future.
‘n Mens kan werklik trots voel op
een en almal wat, op welke wyse
ook al, tot die inhoud van ons
tydskrif bydra. Dit laat my hart
sommer warm klop om te sien dat
ons mede-Suid-Afrikaners net nie
plaaslik aktief is nie maar ook in
menige gevalle in die buiteland in
groot aanvraag is om hul kennis en
ondervinding globaal met die
medemens te deel. ‘n Warm
pluimpie aan al ons bydraers vir hul
passie en bereidwilligheid om,
soms op kort kennisgewing en ten
spyte van hoë werkslas, vir ons
insiggewende artikels en rubrieke
te verskaf.
I also would like to extend a warm
and appreciative “thank you” to all
our advertisers who are placing
their advertising trust in the magazine for their regular support in
keeping us in business. Our readers
also deserve a big THANK YOU for
your support to our advertisers and
for the positive feedback we receive.
Ten spyte van die koue is dit verder
vir ons ‘n warm voorreg om ‘n
nuwe toevoeging tot ons
bemarkingspan in ons geledere te
verwelkom. Sarie van Zyl is ‘n
ervare bemarker wat my taak van
advertensieverkope heelwat ligter
gaan maak.
Last but not least, enjoy our recipes
to heat you up for the day or start
upcycling to keep warm and don’t
forget to enter in our competition
to win a hamper of wonderful
seeds for your garden.
Until next time
Chris
