"Op die delwerye: Vyf sketse uit die lewe" by P. I. Hoogenhout is a collection of sketches exploring the lives of individuals in South Africa's diamond mining communities, likely written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the harsh realities faced by miners and their families, highlighting themes of poverty, struggle, and resilience. The opening of the narrative sets a somber tone, describing the bleak living conditions of miners and the pervasive challenges they face, such as undernourishment and lack of access to sanitation. It introduces the character of a teacher in this environment, revealing the difficulties of educating children under such dire circumstances. The text also touches on the intricacies of human relationships impacted by these social issues, including the struggles of the teacher, the moral dilemmas surrounding the children’s upbringing, and the community's underlying tensions. A poignant scene occurs as the teacher visits an ailing child, Annie Losper, emphasizing both the personal connections and the tragic realities of life in the delwerye.
