Goeie nuus wat mens eintlik op die voorblad van ‘n koerant moet plaas, want om sestig jaar saam met iemand ‘n familielewe te deel en nog gesond genoeg is om dit behoorlik te vier, is ‘n groot genade. En die geheim van so ‘n lang huwelik? “Hou kop, hou koers!” spot tannie Hettie, terwyl sy saam met haar man lag. Volgens haar is dit maklik om lank getroud te wees. “Julle moet goeie vriende wees, baie geduld hê en weet wanneer om stil te wees,” voeg sy by.

Ek het maar eers verlede jaar begin en kyk tot waar het dit my gebring,” sê Carmen. Vanjaar is dit die 36ste Talentfees wat gehou is waarvolgens studente wat hier begin het, net die beste kon bereik. “Hierdie intieme en rustige aand het die gevoel geskep van ‘n opelug fliekaand,” het Nadine gesê.

REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA Kone Solutions K30662 16 Mei 2019 Final, here we come! Jubilation for the NWU as their women’s hockey Wouter Pienaar team managed to beat Kovsies 5–4 in their semi-fi- A thunderous penalty flick from NWU’s Carli Pretorius in the nal on Monday night. Photos: Kevin Sawyer last minute of the Varsity Hockey semi-final against Kovsies was enough for the purple-clad women to book a trip to the prestigious 2019 Varsity Hockey final. The margin between winning and losing was a matter of 50 seconds for the NWU Women’s Varsity Hockey side against its traditional rivals, Kovsies, at the NWU Astroturf on Monday. Kovsies thought they had the win wrapped up as Refilwe Ralinkontsane scored twice in open play. The last goal was a brilliant example of stick control under pressure, to beat the NWU keeper, Caitlin Grant. It could have been the match- defining moment as it gave Kovsies a 4–3 lead in the final quarter. This, after Pretorius and Courtney du Preez scored earlier in the match to give NWU a 3–0 lead. The NWU never read the same script and made sure they wrote their own happy ending in dramatic fashion. A penalty stroke under pressure was coolly converted to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. It was absolute bedlam when the final hooter sounded, as players and supporters celebrated the famous victory at home. The NWU’s fighting spirit, guts and determination will undoub- tedly be at an ultimate high, heading into next Monday’s (20 May) final. “It was a bit of a humdinger as two good sides battled it out. Our ladies really showed a never-say-die attitude and we knew we needed to win this whole weekend. The game that we won against UJ (2–0) to get into the semi-finals was also important in keeping the winning mentality,” said the NWU coach, Shaun Hulley, whose side won all four games in Potchefstroom over the weekend. The NWU won their first big match against Maties (2–1) on Friday, 10 May, to set the ball rolling. They went on to trounce UCT (6–0) before getting the job done against UJ. Hulley also believes the NWU has all the motivation they need to bring the trophy back home to Potch. “We showed that Maties aren’t unbeatable and we will have to believe that we can do the job again. It will be one helluva game against Maties.”
