90 geseënde jare vir stad se geliefde Tannie Marina
Polokwane Observer
|April 24, 2025
Koningin Elizabeth II is dikwels beskryf as 'n simbool van elegansie, kalmte, waardigheid en liefde vir haar medemens - alles eienskappe wat net so van toepassing is op Tannie Marina van Eeden, wat verlede Sondag haar 90ste verjaarsdag gevier het.
By Tannie Marina is 'n 'vinnige inloer' feitlik onmoontlik. Elke besoek ontaard in 'n gesellige kuier met vars hors d'oeuvre, tee uit porseleinkoppies en hartlike geselskap. Haar hare is altyd netjies, sy dra haar pêrels met trots, en sy is selde sonder 'n stylvolle uitrusting te sien. En wanneer jy ná 'n paar uur vertrek, word daar altyd iets lekkers in jou hand gestop.
Op 90 het Tannie Marina reeds 'n vol en geseënde lewe geleef.
Sy het naby die koninkryk van die reënkoningin, Modjadji grootgeword en jare later selfs saam met Koningin Elizabeth II tee in Buckingham Paleis gedrink. In 1952 het sy as hoofmeisie van Hoërskool Pietersburg gematrikuleer. Op 21 is sy met haar lewensmaat, dr. Kalvyn, getroud en saam het hulle drie kinders grootgemaak. As jong meisie het sy Sepedi aangeleer en vandag gesels sy ewe vlot in Sepedi en Afrikaans.
