      Grondwoorde - Wouter J Gildenhuys

      Erkenning

      Die publikasie van hierdie bundel is moontlik gemaak deur ’n ruim subsidie van die L.W. HIEMSTRA TRUST, opgerig deur Riekie Hiemstra ter herinnering aan Ludwig Wybren (Louis) Hiemstra.

      Prof Marius Crous vir sy insig en beoordeling.

      Eben Otto en Kobus Engelbrecht vir hulle riglyne.

      Myra Lochner van KREATIV SA vir taalsorg en aanbevelings.

      My familie en vriende wat deur ’n proses was wat eindeloos blyk te wees.

      Orientasie tot Grondwoorde

      In 2015 het ek na ’n besoek aan Port Natal Skool, besluit om ’n digkompetisie te loots om erkenning te gee en ondersteuning te verleen aan dié leerlinge wat nog in Afrikaans onderrig ontvang. Die dig-kompetisie, GRONDWOORDE, word in 2016 vir die eerste keer aangebied, spesifiek vir leerders in KwaZulu-Natal.

      Die kompetisie is meer as net ’n digkompetise. Dit is ook ’n inisiatief wat nie net erkenning gee aan die gebruik en handhawing van Afrikaans nie, maar ook die onderskraging van ’n groep leerders wat onderrig in Afrikaans ontvang,

       om belegging in die skryf en voortbestaan van die taal te verseker,

       om belangstelling in Afrikaanse poësie te bevorder,

       om die algemene gebruik van Afrikaans te bevorder,

       om ondersteuning aan opkomende digters te verleen,

       om die lees en bestudering van die Afrikaanse digkuns te stimuleer,

       om die lees van ouer digters te bevorder, en

       om brûe te bou tussen ’n meer diverse groep leerders wat in die kontemporêre digkuns weerspieël sal word, hopelik met ’n sterk KwaZulu-Natalse karakter.

      In lyn met die voorafgaande sal die voorskrifte vir die 2017 GRONDWOORDE AFRIKAANSE DIGKOMPETISIE ’n kategorie insluit, wat sal fokus op ’n aspek van ons ZULU-kultuurerfenis. Dit is my droom dat hierdie streekskarakter nie net sal vergestalt in abstrakte konsepte nie, maar sal ontwikkel in die gebruik
