WITH Beryl Botman
"After a stormy year of adaptation, decision-making and change, the following years should be much easier. Or is that too much to ask? The relations with the step- and in-laws are deteriorating and the gulf is getting deeper." Despite her efforts to be fair, especially regarding a property in the estate, the case makes a turn in the High Court. Beryl Botman writes about this and about her new life in her follow-up to Sedert die dood ons skei (2022), which she wrote after the sudden death of her husband, Prof Russel Botman, then rector of Stellenbosch University.
