11 The inauguration of Diepsloot as autonomous church Compiled by Kwena Semenya, Hannes Malan and Pieter Koekemoer, with contributions from Kotie Viljoen (jnr.) The Diepsloot Ministry, as it is today, has a rich history amongst the old Dopper families in the area. Church Council. Kotie Viljoen and his sons Frikkie, Piet en Kotie (jnr.) owned the Witkoppen farm (yes, the same through which Witkoppen Drive currently runs), north of Johannesburg, during the first half of the previous century. The farm fell within the borders of RC Krugersdorp, but when the RC Linden broke away from RC Johannesburg North in 1950 the area was allocated to Linden and the brothers of this family joined the Linden The Viljoens soon felt obliged to establish a ministry amongst their farm workers and a stone church was built, on Brother Piet s farm. Brother Frikkie led the services and catechism, aided by an interpreter, elder Thomas Maphosa. Farm workers from all over the district showed up for church. The Viljoens and their workers made the move to the Reformed Church Randburg, when it broke away from RC Linden. Rev. Michiel Venter and a number of elders regularly led services here and before long the Randburg Church Council established a missionary congregation in Witkoppen. Probationer Joseph Kgama was called as minister and Brother van Achterberg erected a small rectory beside the church hall. Rev Charl van Rooy, dr Kwena Semenya and br Louis Kruger The congregation experienced a growth spurt with the Tswana ministry, but soon Rev. Kgama was called to Potchefstroom to translate the hymnal into Setswana. This was a heavy blow to the ministry, even with the aid of the tokkelokke (theology students) from the Hammanskraal Theological School. 11

12 Meanwhile the RC Randburg established an Afrikaans ministry in Riverlea and the RC Linden resumed their assistance of Witkoppen. Encroaching urban dwellings and tar roads led Piet Viljoen to sell his farm in Witkoppen and buy land in Diepsloot. A town was established in Witkoppen and the farms disappeared one after the other, together with the farm workers. Those who remained continued with services in Witkoppen primary school s hall, but that also gradually petered out. The Viljoens once again jumped in and held church services for the farm workers in Diepsloot, on Brother Piet s new farm. Elder Maphosa also moved to Diepsloot and was of great assistance. When Brother Piet sold his Diepsloot farm, years later, the ministry under the farm workers faltered and for a time no services were held. A few years later it resumed, this time on the Diepsloot farm of Brother Kotie (jnr.) and where Elder Maphosa took up employment. Services were held in the barn and Rev. Ben de Klerk, of Randburg East, helped organise church pews. Randburg members will undoubtedly still remember the farm: Festive church socials were held in the barn, set in a peach orchard, during the eighties. Rev. Hannes van der Walt of RC Linden regularly contributed to the ministry of the Word in this barn church, until his missionary duties in Soweto kept him from continuing. Meanwhile Brother Francois Meiring bought the Viljoen s building sand. Church services were moved to farmhouse that stood empty and the quarry s bulldozer was stored in the barn. Shortly thereafter shacks started popping up, where William Nicol Drive crosses the Krugersdorp highway. The farming conditions became increasingly challenging, due to the influx of new and hungry neighbours. Soon all farming activities came to an end and the farm workers also left one after another. New members from surrounding shacks, who hailed from Polokwane, Zimbabwe and as far as Malawi, reported for church. The Doppers of Randburg, Randburg East, Rietvallei, Pretoria and Pretoria West collectively offered sustentation to the Atteridgeville congregation, including the Diepsloot ministry. In the late nineties the farms in Diepsloot were systematically turned into RDP housing and even more people streamed into the area. This necessitated the Randburg Church councils to urgently review the Diepsloot ministry and Brother Francois Meiring donated an old barn and two outbuildings to the church. The matchbox houses came rolling over the hills ever more rapidly, by 2003, making ministry opportunities and needs all the greater. 12

13 Over that period the Melville Doppers merged with the current Randburg congregation and Rev. Koos Saayman s arrival was a Godsend: Dopper dominees able to lead services in English are quite rare. He enthusiastically jumped in and started to organise the growing congregation. The wild-growing grass was gone and RDP houses crowded around the old farmhouse, stretching to William Nicol Drive. Hannes Malan, Pieter Koekemoer and Gerrit Venter were the people in Randburg with the most passion and vision about the Diepsloot ministry. Due to their involvement, Randburg shortly thereafter integrated Diepsloot as a ward into the congregation and transformed the barn, through quite a bit of renovation, into a church hall. In 2007 the church council decided to call a Pedi-speaking minister for Diepsloot. Dr. Kwena Semenya of Atteridgeville accepted the calling. Due to the growth in Diepsloot Church, the Reformed Church Randburg council which made up of Randburg elders and Diepsloot elders agreed to inaugurate Diepsloot as a full local church and that was done on the 18 November Dr Kwena Semenya was then called and ordained as the reverend of the Reformed Church Diepsloot. The Reformed Church Diepsloot is currently having active members. FONDSINSAMELINGS / FUNKSIES / FEESVIERINGE 7 FEBRUARIE 2019 GK ONTDEKKERS Kontak Daniela by

16 ONS MAAK KENNIS MET 16 Dr Danie en Venita de Kock GK Krokodilrivier Ons gemeente is geleë so 10 km buite Brits op die R511 na Thabazimbi. Die kerkgebou en pastorie staan op n stuk grond wat vroeg in die 20 ste eeu deur oom Rooi Jan du Plessis aan die gemeente geskenk is. Ons bly dus eintlik op die plaas wat n besondere voorreg is. Die voëllewe en selfs diere soos muishonde, eekhorings, blou ape en vlakhase gee ons die wete dat ons baie na aan die natuur lewe. Dit gee ons ook die geleentheid om self n paar diere aan te hou soos ganse en eende, twee donkies en n spannetjie Bosveldhoenders wat ons eiers voorsien en natuurlik twee honde. Ons kinders is tans reeds almal uit die huis uit en besig om hulle eie lewens uit te kerf. Ons oudste seun is Danie en hy is getroud met Carelyn (geb. van der Walt) en hulle het twee kinders, Daniël (6) en Ané (3). Hy is n Menslike Hulpbron Bestuurder (Midde Ooste) by SNC Lavelin en hulle woon tans in Abu Dhabi. Izak is getroud met Willemijn (geb Wentink) en hulle het twee kinders Henrieke (3) en Daniël (1). Hulle woon in Potchefstroom waar hy as meganiese ingenieur by MTech werksaam is. Janien is getroud met Stefan Linde. Hulle woon ook in Potchefstroom omdat hulle albei by die NWU dosente is. Hulle het ook beide in 2018 hulle Ph D grade ontvang: Stefan in Beroepshigiëne en Janien in Afrikaans Nederlands. Dirco ons jongste woon tans in Spes Bona, tehuis vir gestremdes in Rustenburg. Ons huidige gemeente bestaan hoofsaaklik uit boere (groente, lusern, koring en sitrus). n Besondere kenmerk van hierdie gemeente is die groot families wat oor dekades reeds lidmate hier is. Ons is bevoorreg om n goeie verspreiding ten opsigte van ouderdom in ons gemeente te hê wat meebring dat al die funksies van gemeente-wees hier beoefen word.
