Grootwordjare: Fanie Bouwer
This memoir reflects on a childhood spent on a remote border farm in the Ugie district, where a small, orderly world shaped by routine, hierarchy, and innocence seemed complete and unquestionable. Growing up unaware of broader political and social realities, the author accepted inequality and structure as natural features of life. The first rupture in this certainty came with his entry into the South African Police in 1968, where exposure to diverse communities, educated Black professionals, and critical journalism challenged his inherited assumptions. Gradually, he confronted the complexities of a divided society and recognised the limitations of his early worldview. This awakening unfolded slowly, shaped by lived experience rather than ideology. With maturity came humility—the understanding that ignorance is often an inevitable starting point, but that adulthood demands honest self-examination. The narrative concludes by observing that unacknowledged ignorance remains pervasive, even among modern leaders, and that the refusal to recognise one’s own limitations can be more damaging than ignorance itself.
