THORNHILL’S You Nice Soup Kitchen has once again brought joy to thecommunity,this time through thedistributionofEaster eggs and fruit to underprivileged children.
Recently, approximately200 children received the special treats, in line with the number of beneficiaries thesoup kitchen supports weekly.
Thefounder,Eunice Boesman, said the moment was filled with emotion as the children received theirgifts
“The children’sfaces litupwith joyand excitement. Many expressed thanks, some clapped and cheered, while others huggedtheir giftstightly. For many,itwas arare treat that brought smiles and laughter,” said Boesman.
She emphasised the importance of such gestures, particularly for children growing up in difficultcircumstances.
“Receiving giftslike fruit and Easter eggs is something big for our children in the townships. This could be the only gift they have ever received.
“It provides emotional upliftment,a sense of belonging,memorableexperiences, and encouragement to stay hopeful despite hardships,” said Boesman.
Boesman also highlighted theimportance of acknowledging those who madethe initiative possible, noting thatrecognising donors not only shows appreciation but alsoencourages continued support and inspires others to contribute.
The latest outreach forms part of the ongoing work of You Nice Soup Kitchen, which she started from her home. Sinceits establishment, thenon-prof-
it organisation has grown significantly, bothindemand and impact
What began as an effort to feed just over 100 people aweek has expanded to reach around 200 individuals weekly, including children, senior residents, and families in need.
“The soup kitchen continues to serve each week faithfully,despiterising food costsand growing demand. With thehelp of volunteers and local partners, it remains abeacon of hope in thecommunity,”said Boesman.
Soup is still served every Wednesday, with around 200 people relying on the weekly meal
Boesman’s home remains open to those in need beyond thescheduled feeding days, offering support to anyone who comes seeking help.
Looking ahead, she hopes to expand theinitiative further.
“The vision is to grow from aoncea-week initiative into adaily feeding programme, expanding our reach to neighbouring communities such as Loerie, Hankey, and thefarms around Thornhill,” said Boesman.
However, she noted that continued support is essential to sustain and grow theinitiative.
Boesman said that current needs include food donations such as vegetables, staples, and fruit.
They are also in need of financial assistance to cover rising costs, volunteers to help with preparation and serving, and transport support to reach surrounding areas.

KOUGAKOLLIG: DR JOHAN JOUBERT Driedekadesvandieresorg-Dr.Joubertsemerkwaardigeloopbaan
ELLENHANCKE
HY is al deur ’n swartrenoster in ’n turksvybos gejaag en daar vasgekeer, was die beskermers-oogvan ’n staatshoof se beeskudde en elf ontsnapte olifantehet hom in sy eerste week in ’n nuwepos, erge hoofbrekens besorg. Hy was ook voorheen internasionaal op diekleinkassieas“TheCat Doctor” bekend Vandeesweek skyn die Kouga Kollig op Dr.Johan Joubert,wat onlangs na bynadrie dekadesasdie senior veearts by Shamwariafgetree het en Jeffreysbaai as sy nuwe tuiste gekies het. Hy is egter nog nie van plan om voltyds met stoepsit en niksdoen te begin nie.Hierdie merkwaardige man se hart klop steeds warmvir eko-toerisme en globale bewaringsaksiesvan beide flaura en fauna.
Johan Joubert is as die oudste van drie kinders in dieSandfordKraaminrigting in Gqeberha gebore.
As plaasseun was hy eenvan 18 leerdersindie Wolwefontein Laerskool. Interessant genoeg, was sy ouersseplaas se naamHaasfontein. So, dierename het al sedert speentydbyJohan inslag gevind
Hy het aan dieHoërskoolKirkwood matrikuleer,waar hy onderhoofseun was. Sy ooghet egter al in sy junior jare op die pragtige Isabel Puren wat later die skoolsehoofmeisiesou word, geval.
Dietweetjies is nou al ’n “leeftyd” saam en die trotse ouers van twee seuns en ’n dogter en harte vol kleinkinders.
Die plaaslewe was vir Johan deel van sy murg en aarvog.
Hy en sy broer was van kleins-af in hul element op die plaas. Tydenssy studentejare op Tukkies se Onderste-
poortkampus,het Prof Ivan Horak se Entomologie-lesings oor eksterne parasiete, homgefassineer
So ook Prof Jan le RouxseAnatomieklasse waar die langure se prakties in dielaboratoriums,vir hom spesiaal was.
Navoltooiing van sy studies, is Johanweermag toe en het hy sy basiese opleiding te Voortrekkerhoogteondergaan.
Hy kon toe die res van sy opleiding as staatsveeartsdiens doen.
Mafekeng was sy hoofkwartier, met ’n bedieningsgebiedwat oor drie distrikte gestrek het. Diebeeskudde van die destydse hoofman en laterepresident Lucas Mangope van Bophuthatswana, was ook onder Johan se sorg.
Grenspatrollie wasdeel van sy pligte en diefeitdat daar geen krale en grensdrade was nie, het sy werk bemoeilik.
In 1982 trek die gesin na Uitenhage (vandagbekend as Kariega) waar Johansaam met’nvriend,Abrie Jordaan, in privaatpraktykgegaan het
DieSteytlerville-plaaskontrei was ook deel van hul dienste en Johan vertel datdie polisie hul soms moes stop om betyds te laat weet dat die “pasiënt” ongelukkig reeds oorlede is!
Van hul praktykpligtewas ondermeer ook om nienet die stoetbeeste gesond te hounie,maar ook melkerye en melkprodukse te verbeter
Sy voorliefde vir angoras het hom sedertsyjeugjareophul plaas bygebly en konhyweer met dié diere werk
Johanonthou ’n geval waar ’n waardevollestoetram van R111,000 blaasstene gekry het watobstruksiesveroorsaak het.
“Die enigste oplossingwas om ’n Foleys-kateter in die ram se sy te plaas sodat hy daar deur sy heuparea kon urineer.”
Johan verduidelik dat skoudiere dikwels as gevolgvan ’n te hoë proteïnedieet, sulke obstruksieskry.
Tye van erge droogtes het sy hart gebreek vir boere met kleinvee. “Voerpille bring’ngroot finansiële uitgawe mee. Turksvyblare is dusdikwels met mieliesenmolasse vermeng.”
In sy jare as veearts, het Johan ook dikwels ’n traantjie of tweegepink. Veral wanneer ouer alleenlopende mensesekatte en honde uitgesit moes word. Hy onthou veral ’n insident met ’n mak muis.
Die mamma en seuntjiehet ’n muis met ’n enorme groeisel na hom gebring. Hy het verduidelik dat dit moeilik souwees om die muis se lewe te red. So sterfdie muis toe inderdaad tydens chirurgie. Johan besefdat die nuus vir die jongelingbaie traumaties sou wees en hy begin dadelik ’n soektog na ’n wit “vervangingsmuis.”
In die heleomgewingisdaar nêrens een te vinde nieenJohan besluit om een in die Baai te gaan soek.
’n Hele“afdag” later,met die nuwe muisin’nhouertjie, gaan hy toe na die mensesehuis.
Dieseuntjiehet die muis dadelik met agterdog bekyk. die pleister wat Johan op die muis geplak het, sou die “operasiewond” teen kieme beskerm.
Dieseuntjieneem toe die muis en sit hom op hul kombuisvloer neer.
Met’nvaart hol die “willemuis” toe onder die yskas in en net daar bars ’n tranedal los. sy muis wasnie ’n vloermuis nie en sounooit as te nimmer so ’n “lae lewe”gelei het nie!
Johan vertel met ’n glimlag dat dit die grootste uitgawewas wat hy ooit op ’n afdag as veearts spandeer het!
•Word vervolg in die volgende Kouga Kollig.
