Roving reporter, serial blogger and possibly one of Cape Town's finest female exports, Bruin-ou.com member 'Boure' was at the BBI Identity Conference in Riverlea held on 6 June 2009. For those that were unable to make it, she gives us a blow-by-blow, unbiased account of what she experienced at the conference. I'm confident that these meetings will improve in not only attendance, but will culminate in real, workable plans to help improve the state of our communities. - Ed.
I arrived a couple of minutes late, little lady Lela (my daughter) was particularly testy and I wanted to blow dry my hair...because I am worth it! And because mens se hare is mos belangrik, after all I was going to the Bruin Belange Initiatief meeting and chances are there would be a lot of bruin mense there.
I thought it was more a meeting than a conference. Let me tell you why.

The fourth man is fair, with freckles and ginger peppercorn hair. As usual, he wears a dirty blue tracksuit that is at least one size too large. He has an unusual nickname, which he hates. I was there the day he was given that name in the Mayville Hotel. The bar was very crowded, and a few friends and I chatted while waiting for a game of darts. The conversation became more interesting after I’d stated that peace of mind is the most important thing in the world. The response was typical of a group of intoxicated men:
“Work,” said Pat. “Work is the most important, because if you don’t graf, you won’t have the start to buy lots of dop — for your friends!”

My thoughts have strayed and when Mickey clicks his fingers a few inches from my face, I look up to find that he is staring at me. “What? What’s wrong?” “Tommy, you thinking of your stekkie (girlfriend) again? I said, if you waai (go) somewhere with me tomorrow afternoon, I'll wys (show) you something so amazing, you’ll tell your grandchildren about it!” |
