About this listen
’n Epiese geskiedkundige roman deur die bekroonde skrywer Chris Karsten. In die kleine handel dit oor die tragiese gebeure een aand in 1914 toe die Boeregeneraal Koos de la Rey op pad na ’n beplande rebellie noodlottig gewond is. Die teiken was die berugte bendelid William Foster, op vrye voet iewers in die wye Johannesburg. Dat De la Rey in die spervuur beland het, was pure toeval. Of was dit?
Op pad na Moormansgat is een groot, verweefde tapisserie waarin die verhale van vele vertel word, oor dekades heen en uit alle lae van die samelewing. Dis die storie en nalatenskap van Billy Foster se dogter, Helena, op soek na haar herkoms; dis die trawalle van die hensopper Segrys Heyns en sy agterryer Tappies Mahlangu; die speurtog van poliesman Isak Heyns, op soek na die gewetenlose moordenaars wat ’n driejarige seuntjie se familie eensklaps uitgewis het, en die moontlikheid dat die aanvallige jong vrou Helena aandadig aan die moorde kon wees.
’n Merkwaardige en veelvlakkige geskiedkundige roman, ’n hoogtepunt nie net in Chris Karsten se oeuvre nie, maar ook in die Afrikaanse letterkunde.

Anelia Heese hervertel die rou en soms skokkende stories van Suid-Afrikaanse mans wat in die 1970’s en 1980’s verplig is om weermagdiens te doen. In Diensplig praat van dié mans, baie vir die eerste keer, openhartig oor hul ervaringe. Hulle praat hier eerlik oor onder meer die eerste kontak, die eerste keer toe iemand ’n makker verloor het, hoe sommige “terrie-ore” versamel het, oor patrollies in die townships, en die interne stryd wat dikwels agterna gevolg het.

Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Geskiedenis vervat in 'n Pragroman!
"Oppad na Moormansgat" is 'n ongelooflike boek wat met uitmuntende navorsing geskryf is. Die skrywer slaag daarin om geskiedkundige karakters lewendig te maak, wat die leser intrek in die tydperk van die Anglo-Boereoorlog.
Die oorlog self word pragtig uiteengesit vanuit verskeie perspektiewe, insluitend dié van die Afrikaners, Engelse, en Bantoe-stamme. Hierdie veelkantige benadering bied 'n ryke, komplekse blik op die konflik en die mense wat daardeur geraak is.
Die struktuur van die verhaal sukkel egter aanvanklik om momentum te kry. Ek het gesukkel om die karakters te plaas, veral die vroulike karakters, deels as gevolg van die manlike verteller se stem. Hierdie aanvanklike verwarring vereis dat die leser mooi konsentreer totdat die storie behoorlik op dreef kom.
Nietemin, sodra die storie in volle gang is, is dit 'n diepgaande en boeiende leeservaring. Dit het my perspektief op ons geskiedenis as Afrikaners en Suid-Afrikaners verbreed en my met nuwe oë laat kyk na hierdie fassinerende era. "Oppad na Moormansgat" is 'n waardige toevoeging tot die kanon van Suid-Afrikaanse literatuur en 'n moet-lees vir enigeen wat belangstel in ons land se verlede.

Chris Karsten: Die moeite werd om te luister
Beskrywing: Elke toneel beleef jy saam met die skrywer
Geskiedkundig: Baie goed nagevors
Een van die beste boeke wat ek in `n lang tyd geluister het en ter wille van sy goeie beskrywings, gaan ek dit weer luister.
