Karaan is bekommerd oor onse jong mense wat die land verlaat. Nie net vir politieke redes, sê hy, en nie net wittes nie. Die slimme man waarsku dat ons nie dieselfde pad as Nieu-Seeland moet loop nie. Dit gaan ekonomies nie goed met die land nie omdat sy jongmense tussen 25 en 35 die land so 30 jaar gelede in groot getalle verlaat het om groener weivelde te soek. Ons moet ons kin ders hier hou as fondasie vir die toekoms. Hy het dit nie gesê nie, maar ek dink in sy hart wil hy ook hê hulle moet hier bly bloot omdat ons vir hulle lief is. Hy waarsku dat dringend aandag gegee moet word aan die opleiding en opvoeding van “die kinders”, soos hy hulle noem. Die wêreld verander so vinnig dat dit waarvoor hulle vandag opgelei word, môre nie meer van toepassing sal wees nie. Landbou-opleiding, in besonder, is besig om uitgedien te raak. Die bedryf moet opleiding herbeplan en herontdek om aan die eise van môre te voldoen. Karaan is bekommerd oor wat ons aan die aarde gedoen het – die mense het te veel uitgehaal en te min terug gesit. Boerdery sal in die toe koms ekologie-gedrewe wees en nie meer deur tegnologie nie. “Ja, prof Karaan, stem ek in my enigheid saam. Ek dink onse Skepper is hartseer oor die verwaarlosing en vernietiging van Sy skepping. As ons nie die skip omgedraai kry nie, wonder ek hoe lank die kinders van die land nog modder koekies sal kan bak uit sy aarde – om Lina Spies aan te haal: “Hoe lank nog sal ons die Contents • name heilig van die lands-kinders?” sonder allerhande illusies – van al die waan ge stroop. Inhoud 20 En nou slaan ek oor in Ingels. Die man het dit so mooi gestel dat ek bang is om afbreuk daaraan te doen deur dit vertaal. The South African platteland is de cay ing. The former home lands have be come traps for the poor. People have for gotten the role of agri culture. Its primary role is not to make money but as the incubator of values. (Dis waar, né? Ons moet groot asse blief nie die heel belangrikste rol laat oor neem deur Mammon nie.) Agri culture and its role always make me think of Uys Krige’s poem Plaashek. Na al die jare maak ek weer ’n plaashek oop. Waar het my paaie tog nie geloop Om my hier by ’n hek te bring van al my waan gestroop, maar met my denke helder en in my hart die hoop? We as farmers will not be budged. We are not going to flee from South Africa. They might steal our animals, they might revile us – but we have opened the farm gate with clear thoughts and hope in our hearts. Ons moet vas staan, sê Mohammed Karaan – die man met ’n visie vir land bou wat ek nog by bitter min ander landbou-me ningsvormers raakgeloop het. Hou hoop in die hart maar met helder denke en
