‘Elke bergpiek is binne jou bereik’

Nankali Kamwanga
Nankali Kamwanga – Patricia Ileka is die toonbeeld van harde werk en volharding – eienskappe wat sy sê haar ouers, John Hans, ’n voormalige Black Afrika-sokkerspeler, en Klara Hans, ’n toegewyde verpleegster vir meer as 55 jaar, in haar ingeprent het.

Van kleins af het Patricia ’n belangstelling in onderwys getoon, en het matriek voltooi voordat sy ’n diploma in menslike hulpbronne aan die Universiteit van Namibië gevolg het.

Sy het tydens haar derde jaar as ’n deeltydse assistent-argivaris by die Nasionale Argief van Namibië begin werk.

Dié ervaring het ’n passie by haar aangevuur om historiese inligting te bewaar en die beskikbaarheid daarvan vir toekomstige geslagte te verseker.

Oor die jare het Ileka by verskeie organisasies gewerk, insluitend die Namibiese Uitsaaikorporasie (NBC), Namport en die Swakopmund-munisipaliteit en haar vaardighede as argivaris en rekordbestuurder geslyp.

Sy het in 2015 haar honneursgraad in argiefwetenskap deur Unisa voltooi en voortgegaan om haar kennis uit te brei deur programme soos die bestuursontwikkelingsprogram aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch en ’n nagraadse diploma in besigheidsadministrasie.

Tans dien sy as die bestuurder van rekords en argivering by die Maatskaplike Voorsorgkommissie (SSC), waar sy verantwoordelik is vir toesig oor inligtingbestuur en om die bewaring van historiese rekords te verseker.

Ten spyte van die uitdagings wat die digitale era stel, bly sy verbind tot haar doelwit om ander op die gebied van argiefwetenskap te leer en Namibië se ryk geskiedenis te bewaar.

Patricia geniet dit ook om te kook, bak en lees. Sy het ook ’n passie vir mentorskap en om die jeug op te lei, en glo dit is belangrik om kennis aan die volgende generasie oor te dra.

Patricia het die belangrikheid van toewyding, harde werk en ’n verbintenis tot uitnemendheid beklemtoon.

“Ek het geleer as jy jou gedagtes op iets sit, kan jy baie bereik. Ek het geleer om buite die boks te dink en ander bokse te verken. Wees toegewyd, werk hard en bid.

“Elke bergpiek is binne jou bereik as jy net aanhou klim.”

Haar raad aan diegene wat hul loopbaan in argivering begin, is eenvoudig.

“As jy nie ’n passie het om orde te skep nie, moenie rekordbestuur studeer nie.” – [email protected]
