Story Transcript:

Af: Met die son wat bo Kirstenbosch Botaniese Tuin skyn, was Annelize besig om tussen die bome en blomme te beweeg.
En: With the sun shining over Kirstenbosch Botaniese Tuin, Annelize was moving among the trees and flowers.

Af: Die somer se hitte was voelbaar, maar die koel briesie van die berg het verligting gebring.
En: The summer heat was palpable, but the cool breeze from the mountain brought relief.

Af: Sy hou haar clipbord stewig vas en maak seker almal weet wat hulle moet doen.
En: She held her clipboard firmly and made sure everyone knew what they needed to do.

Af: Die tuin was pragtig.
En: The garden was beautiful.

Af: Inheemse plante het rondom haar gegroei en die kranse van Tafelberg het in die agtergrond gestaan, imposant en skouspelagtig.
En: Indigenous plants grew around her, and the cliffs of Tafelberg stood in the background, imposing and spectacular.

Af: Pieter en Jaco, haar helpers, het hande-vatsel-geraamtes opgerig wat die verhoog en stoele gaan hou.
En: Pieter and Jaco, her assistants, were setting up scaffolding that would hold the stage and chairs.

Af: "Alles lyk goed, Annelize," sê Pieter, sy glimlag breed.
En: "Everything looks good, Annelize," Pieter said, smiling broadly.

Af: Jaco het bygevoeg, "Ja, ek dink hierdie gaan fantasties wees.
En: Jaco added, "Yes, I think this is going to be fantastic."

Af: "Annelize se hart was vol hoop.
En: Annelize's heart was full of hope.

Af: Hierdie somerkonsert was groot.
En: This summer concert was significant.

Af: As alles reg loop, kan haar organisasievaardighede raakgesien word, wat nuwe deure vir kreatiewe geleenthede kan oopmaak.
En: If everything went well, her organizational skills could be recognized, opening new doors for creative opportunities.

Af: Maar haar gedagtes was so swaar soos die klimme van die bank onder die skaduwee van die boom.
En: But her thoughts were as heavy as the branches of the bench under the tree's shade.

Af: Terwyl die middag vorder het, het donker wolke begin saampak bo die berg.
En: As the afternoon progressed, dark clouds began to gather above the mountain.

Af: "'n Reënstorm kom," het Jaco gewaarsku nadat hy na die hemel opgekyn het.
En: "A rainstorm is coming," Jaco warned after looking up at the sky.

Af: Annelize se maag het geknoop.
En: Annelize's stomach tightened.

Af: Die weer kon die hele plan omverwerp.
En: The weather could overturn the entire plan.

Af: Wat sou sy doen?
En: What would she do?

Af: Die skare het gou kom, geen tyd om die event binnenshuis te skuif nie.
En: The crowd would arrive soon, with no time to move the event indoors.

Af: Sy moes 'n besluit maak.
En: She had to make a decision.

Af: Sy het haar gedagtes gefokus.
En: She focused her thoughts.

Af: Haar geheime droom was om kreatiewe roetes in dekor en ontwerp verder aan te durf, en miskien was hierdie die soort probleem wat wys waartoe sy in staat is.
En: Her secret dream was to further venture into creative paths in decor and design, and perhaps this was the kind of challenge that would show what she is capable of.

Af: "Ons gebruik die reën-plan," sê sy sterk.
En: "We'll use the rain plan," she said firmly.

Af: "Die tente is gereed.
En: "The tents are ready.

Af: Ons sal vinnig moet werk.
En: We'll need to...
