Ruda Landman

For 19 years Ruda Landman was part of South Africans’ Sunday evenings as a co-presenter on Carte Blanche. She left the show in 2007, and since then Ruda presented ‘n Lewe met and VeranderDinge on kykNET and is one of South Africa’s best-known journalist and television personalities.

It was a great honour for AWSUM to do this interview with her.

Ruda, you grew up in the Northern Cape, Upington to be exact, please tell us about your school career. What school did you attend? Any achievements or great memories?

I grew up in small towns all over the Northern Cape – Hartswater, then Keimoes, and boarding school in Upington for my high school years. It shaped who I am.

Both your parents were school teachers, as a teenager how did you find that?

By the time I got to high school they were no longer actively teaching – my dad had moved on to be an inspector of schools, and my mum stopped teaching. But I learnt what any teachers want to instil: discipline, punctuality, and doing your homework!

What did you do after school? How did you end up as a presenter?

I studied Afrikaans and English at Stellenbosch University, and did a teaching diploma, but decided I did not want to teach. So I got a job at Die Burger in Cape Town, and later at the Afrikaanse Diens at SABC radio, now RSG. Management at the TV news department were looking for women to read the news in Afrikaans, and I was among three or four who started doing that.

It’s a well-known fact that when you started your career you could not speak English & had a very bad Afrikaans accent. Did you ever wish that you could go back to high school and do things differently?

I wouldn’t know how – my world was Afrikaans. That’s who I am. When it became necessary, I could and did learn to speak English.

As a young conservative Afrikaans lady in the 80’s, the boundary-pushing TV show Carte Blanche was an eye opener for you. Do you have one story/ experience that will stay with you?

I can’t narrow it down to one story. We got to know the country in close-up during the transition years of the late 80s and early 90s. It was an amazing personal and professional journey.

Your family is the most important thing in your life. Any advice on how to be a big career woman and a great mom and wife?

Choose the right partner, and pay attention to the relationship. Find and appreciate other help, in my case Rosie Mgangathe who has been housekeeper, nanny and organiser of our lives since 1981.

A lot of our readers invited you into our homes on a Sunday evening on Carte Blanche. What does a normal Sunday look like in the Landman household?

The best part of leaving CB was having my Sundays to myself! We might go for a walk or a late breakfast in the morning, and then sit on our stoep, braai, have some good red wine, read, perhaps watch a cop series.

Do you like cooking and what is your speciality?

My husband loves to braai. I have developed a whole catalogue of delicious salads to go with that. Otherwise, I make a mean curry.

Please explain to our readers what Study Trust is all about and how GRAD: Your Guide to University Success is helping students.

This year, South Africa has about 150,000 first-year students at university.

Around 60% of them are first-generation, the first in their family to go to university. They have no one to turn to when things get rough, no one to say, “Don’t worry, I’ve walked the road, it will get better. Hang in there.” They need skills like handling money, managing time, mastering huge amounts of information, handling stress. StudyTrust has been administering bursaries for more than 40 years, and they have a support system for the students which includes seminars on all these subjects. I adapted that content, Van Schaik Publishers turned it into a lovely, vibrant booklet (pro bono), and Capitec sponsored printing and distribution of 140,000 copies which were delivered to 22 universities in January.

“Tell me your story” is your latest book that was launched in April. What inspired you to write this book?

About three years ago, insurance company BrightRock approached me to interview a range of South Africans for their website, The Change Exchange (www.changeexchange.co.za). The idea was to talk about change moments in life – how do you make decisions, or how do you handle change when it is forced upon you. From that flowed the kykNET programme VeranderDinge, for which I did similar interviews. It was wonderful – people shared insight and life lessons and personal emotion, far beyond what I had expected. I wanted to find a wider audience for that, so I selected 18 of the interviews and put it into a book.

Why do you think it’s important to hear everyone’s story?

Our experience of our reality in this country is so diverse that we can very easily retreat into separate enclaves and start talking about “they” and “them”. That breaks up society and disables our growth and development.

How will we understand one another if we don’t listen to the stories?

You interviewed really big names, how do you prepare for an interview and any specific interviews that changed your life?

You have to find out as much as you can about the person so that the conversation can be about his or her experience, emotion, interpretation, response, not about the facts. The facts are just the washing line to hang the real content on.

Again, I can’t single out specific interviews. The experience of talking to such a wide range of South Africans has shifted and shaped my view of our reality.

What is next for Ruda Landman?

I’m not a planner. A door opens and I consider the possibilities. We’ll have to see!

Dr Seuss kuier op Klein Boishaai se verhoog ‘n Produksie wat deur konsertgangers ondermeer as “uitstekend”, “absoluut fantasties” en “briljant” beskryf is, is verlede week by Paarl Seunskool op die planke gebring.

Twee groepe seuns het al om die beurt die geleentheid gehad om die fassinerende storie van dr Seuss, in die musikale produksie, getiteld Seussical Jr, the musical, met sang, dans en vrolike kostuums te vertel.

Maande se voorbereiding en harde werk het vrugte van bostaande gehalte opgelewer en gesorg vir ‘n geleentheid waaroor daar nog lank in die Klein Boishaaifamilie gepraat sal word.

Rugby en netbal sportdag Op Donderdag 17 Mei het Hugenote laerskool vir Laerskool Hugo Rust ontvang vir ‘n rugby en netbal sportdag.

Die velde was in goeie toestand gewees en baie mooi opgemaak.

Die rugby en netbal was in goeie gees gespeel en leerders gee altyd hulle beste in hierdie sportdag.

Die netbalwedstryde was teen ‘n hoë tempo gespeel en Hugo Rust het baie sterk kompetisie gegee vir Hugenote. Gemengde welslae was wel die uitkomste vir die netbal.

Dit was ‘n hittige dag vir rugby maar die seuns het mekaar aangedurf. Hugenote het vir Hugo Rust sterk kompetisie gegee en baie goeie rugby gespeel. Daar was ‘n groot skare ouers en vriende wat die dag kom ondersteun het en die dag was in goeie gees meegeding.

Salmaan Moerat (Captain) Position: Lock Date of Birth: 06/03/1998 Place of Birth: Paarl School: Paarl Boys High Height: 197 cm Weight: 122 kg Super Rugby Debut: 2018 (Stormers) U20 Test Caps: 5 U20 World Rugby Championship: 30 May – 17 June 2018 France Salmaan Moerat will be captaining the SA U20 side to this year's U20 World Rugby Championship in France. This will be his second appearance at this level, for his country. A leader in the true sense of the word, Salmaan has captained nearly every side that he played in since 2011.

20-year-old Salmaan has his roots firmly planted in the picturesque Boland town of Paarl. The towering two-metre second rower comes from a long line of talented rugby players. The Moerats have a rich sporting history that stretches across decades.

His father, Nazeem, represented Western Province, Boland as well as the SARU side in the 1980's. The former Paarl Boishaai captain has a host of his family members that donned a national jersey including Achmat Abrahams, Ghalieb Hendricks, Ebrahim Moerat, Hassiem Hendricks, Ikraam Moerat, Nazeem Moerat, Imaam Moerat and Yusuf Dollie. His cousin, Ebrahim Moerat represented WP as well as the SA U20 side.

Salmaan has been involved and selected for provincial sides since U13, where he was part of the Boland U13 Craven Week team and at U16 level, he represented WP at the U16 Grant Khomo week, in 2014. He captained the SA Schools in 2015 & 2016 and played for WP at the Craven Week in these two seasons as well.

It was, however, in 2018 that the hard work for the 20-year-old finally paid off when he made his Super Rugby debut for the DHL Stormers in Dunedin, when he came on as a replacement against the Highlanders.
