Die herfs son sak oor die Iziko Suid-Afrikaanse Museum.

The autumn sun sets over the Iziko Suid-Afrikaanse Museum.

'n Warm gloed skyn deur die groot vensters en gooi lig oor die binnehof.

A warm glow shines through the large windows, casting light over the courtyard.

Karel loop haastig deur die sale.

Karel walks hastily through the halls.

Hy kyk na die kunswerke wat netjies opgehang moet word.

He looks at the artworks that need to be hung neatly.

Langs hom is Anika en Elsabe, twee assistente wat gereed is om hom te help.

Next to him are Anika and Elsabe, two assistants ready to help him.

Karel, die kurator, is baie noukeurig.

Karel, the curator, is very meticulous.

Hy maak seker elke stuk is op die regte plek.

He ensures each piece is in the right place.

Vandag is egter spesiaal.

Today, however, is special.

Hy berei voor vir 'n unieke kunsuitstalling.

He is preparing for a unique art exhibition.

Dit is die eerste keer dat hy minder bekende Afrikanerkunstenaars sal uitstal.

It is the first time he will showcase lesser-known Afrikaner artists.

Hy voel opgewonde, maar ook bang.

He feels excited but also afraid.

Sy kollegas twyfel.

His colleagues have doubts.

Hulle is skepties oor die projek se sukses.

They are skeptical about the project's success.

Die museum is groot en weelderig.

The museum is large and luxuriant.

Die mure is vol geskiedenis en kuns.

The walls are full of history and art.

Karel se droom is om 'n uitstalling te maak wat die wêreld sal sien.

Karel's dream is to create an exhibition that the world will see.

Hy loop langs 'n lang gang waar die geur van vars verf en lak in die lug hang.

He walks down a long corridor where the scent of fresh paint and varnish hangs in the air.

Die kunswerke is gereed en die spanning bou op.

The artworks are ready, and the tension is building.

Die laaste stuk wat hy kies, is 'n kontroversiële een.

The last piece he chooses is a controversial one.

Niemand weet wie die kunstenaar is nie.

No one knows who the artist is.

Dit is 'n risiko vir Karel, maar sy intuïsie sê vir hom om dit te doen.

It's a risk for Karel, but his intuition tells him to do it.

Hy druk dit reg in die middel van die hoofsaal.

He places it right in the center of the main hall.

Sy besluit is ferm.

His decision is firm.

Hy wil iets anders doen.

He wants to do something different.

Met herfs se seisoenale bries in die lug begin 'n storm opbou.

With autumn's seasonal breeze in the air, a storm begins to brew.

Karel sien bekommerd hoe die wolke saampak.

Karel watches worriedly as the clouds gather.

Die tentoonstelling is net 'n dag weg, en nou bedreig 'n storm alles.

The exhibition is just a day away, and now a storm threatens everything.

Die reën slaan teen die vensters en die wind huil soos 'n gedoemde gees deur die gange.

The rain lashes against the windows, and the wind howls like a doomed spirit through the corridors.

"Karel, ons moet die skilderye beskerm!

"Karel, we need to protect the paintings!"

" roep Elsabe.

shouts Elsabe.

Hy weet hy moet vinnig dink.

He knows he must think quickly.

Saam met Anika en Elsabe werk hy deur die nag.

Along with Anika and Elsabe, he works through the night.

Hulle verskuif kunswerke, bedek dit met seildoeke.

They move artworks, cover them with tarps.

Hulle beskerm wat hulle kan teen die natuur se toorn.

They protect what they can against nature's wrath.

Teen die oggend breek die wolke op.

By morning, the clouds break up.

Die son skyn weer helder oor die stad.

The sun shines brightly over the city again.

Karel kyk om hom.

Karel looks around.

Die belangrikste stukke is veilig.

The most important pieces are safe.

Die storm het nie sy droom gestop nie.

The storm did not stop his dream.

Die deure van die museum open en mense stroom in.

The museum doors open, and people stream in.

Skielik is daar fluisteringe van bewondering.

Suddenly, there are whispers of admiration.

"Wie is hierdie kunstenaars?

"Who are these artists?"

" vra mense.

people ask.

Kritici neem aantekeninge, hul oë blink van verrassing.

Critics take notes, their eyes gleaming with surprise.

Karel kan nie help om te glimlag nie.

Karel can't help but smile.

Sy risiko het vrugte afgewerp.

His risk has paid off.

Die uitstalling is 'n sukses.

The exhibition is a success.

Karel staan in die middel van die saal, omring deur sy gevolge.

Karel stands in the middle of the hall, surrounded by the results of his efforts.

Sy kollegas is stil, respek straal van hulle af.

His colleagues are silent, respect radiating from them.

Hulle sien nou die potensiaal wat Karel gesien het al die tyd.

They now see the potential that Karel had seen all along.

Met 'n nuwe selfvertroue stap Karel uit na die helder herfsdag.

With a newfound confidence, Karel steps out into the bright autumn day.

Die blare rondom die museum is goud en rooi, en hy weet hierdie dag sal hy nooit vergeet nie.

The leaves around the museum are gold and red, and he knows he will never forget this day.

Hy het geglo in sy passie en dit het sy lewe verander.

He believed in his passion, and it changed his life.
