arietjie was born in
Delareyville and grew up
on her parents' farm, Springbok,
between Schweizer-Reneke and
Delareyville. She attended pri
mary schools in Migdol and
Delareyville and matriculated at
High School Schweizer-Reneke
in 1982.
Her 19 years in the agri-indus
try and the fact that she is from
this area, are of the utmost impor
tance and she can add a lot of
value. “My strongest asset is that I
know a lot of people in this area,”
said Marietjie. Because she comes
from the grain industry, she is fast
to set up a whole network in the
Planter Monitor
• Seed per 100m per row, seed population
• Hectares worked and much more
• Easy to install and maintain
• Fertiliser and turning of axles
• Can be applied to most planters
• Real tough, rust and water resistant
agrisector.
Her main duties involve the
provision of input products
such as seed, fertiliser, diesel and
chemicals to producers, and to
get their production facilities in
place. A good relationship with
producers and exceptional service
are of the utmost importance to
her. Another aspect which is not
negotiable, is integrity. And this is
what customers can expect from
her.
She is in for the long run.
She worked at Senwes for 15
years, which means she knows
the agri-industry. She celebrated
29 years of married life with her
husband, Johan, on 2 July this
year and they will be celebrating
30 years, or their pearl anni
versary, next year. Johan is also
involved in the agri-industry and
is head of Corporate Marketing
and Communication at Senwes.
They have two children, Janelle
(28) and Marnus (26). Janelle is
married to a producer from the
Western Cape and rugby player,
BG Uys.
1 June is an important day in
her life. She was born on this day,
she started her career at Senwes
on this day and on 1 August she
entered a new era when she joined
Hinterland as agricultural business
manager.
Team work is of the utmost
importance. She depends a lot on
branch manager, Waldo Venter,
key account manager Johan
Olivier and manager input provi
sion, Kevin Smit. She believes that
“you do not work for someone,
you work with them.” Producers
can be assured that Marietjie will
always be planning their future
with them.
