I lost a friend today. Vlagman/Cera dyne lost his battle with cancer sometime this morning. He was 63 year's old.
We didn't start off being the best of friends, but I got to know and understand him over the years...I will miss him and this board will be poorer without him.
RIP Vlagman...till we meet again.
Wow, wow and nogmaals wow.
This is shocking. I am without words.
Dankie Draad ... sal 'n epos van medelye stuur na sy epos.
Sorry to hear that Draad. Thanks for letting us know.
That’s really sad.....Vlag and I had our differences on Super Supporter, but became friends on this Board.
He must have been going through many difficulties, but it never came through in his words.When he finally told us the story of his disease and the last setback, he did so without any hysterics....simply, honestly, humbly. I never realized the end was so near but he gets all my respect....a brave man.
Go well Vlag ou maat!
Sad news. RIP Ceradyne.
This is so sad
I had many great conversations with Ceradyne over the years, and I knew he was battling for a while already, but had no idea that it was this bad.
R.I.P mate
Honestly I suspected something was up as he mentioned his health and shortly after that stopped posting.
Sad news. Thanks for sharing, Draad.
Always got on with Cera.
If anyone here contacts his family, do let them know that Ruckers send our condolences.
That's quite shocking. I knew he had health issues, but did not know the severity. He was a great poster. In fact, this is a huge blow to the board. I still can't believe it. And mere days after I lost my beloved Rottie so suddenly. What a year, what a week. Thoughts and prayers with his loved ones at this tender time.
He was a fantastic contributor to this board, fully agree with you Aug
He will most definitely be missed
RIP Ceradyne.
Very, very sad to hear this.
Windpomp knew his politics and those daring to publish BS were dispatch with solid facts.
A great loss to the board that underlines once again that eternity beckons. I trust and hope Windpomp had made peace with his creator.
Nothing is permanent here, any notion of permanency is a delusion.
That said death always comes as a great shock.
You will be missed Windpomp. May God comfort your loved ones.
What kak news , RIP vlag .
"Life's but a walking shadow...."
For some of us, it's only the start of something bigger than us...mooiloop Ou Vlag...tot wedersiens!
RIP Vlag.
Condolences to the family.
Wow. What terrible news. This board is worse off with his departing.
Condolences to his family and I hope He has found peace.
Thanks Draad for letting us know.
"At least as a rugby man Vlag ended on a high watching our beloved Boks win the WC."
Sad to say, but things have been winding down here for some time, long before Covid. Some great posters no longer post. Losing Cera is like a gut punch to the board. I hope things improve, but that's not looking good.
I ca only say I am saddened and really feel badly about Ceradyne - may he RIP
Hi Mike. How are you doing? Don't get too lonely, they are on the brink of relaxing the restrictions...but please stay safe.
Aye, it's an interesting community we have here on the board. I do enjoy reading Lügnerin's stories and posts about SA.
Yes, and I'm sure that Mike is gonna miss calling Vlagman Ceradunce...
Maaik, hang in there...be safe, but don't be scared to live.
What's the news on Riversdal...how many cases there?
PS, I know Cera enjoyed "sparring" with Mike.
So far the Municipal area - including Riversdale,Stilbaai, Albertinia, Gouritsriviermond, Jongensfontein, Witsand and Heidelberg - had 9 positive cases. 6 has already recovered and two are under treatment and one ran away - they do not know what happened to him.
I keep very safe at home. Only really leave home for shopping at the end of each month, Very sad situation to be in,
Maaik, you are a bit more at risk than myself, so you must be much more careful. I really am sorry for people living on their own and I think the loneliness might in some cases be more dangerous than the risk of contracting the virus. Some of the rules are ridiculous though. I'm not allowed to visit my brother at his home, but ws are allowed to meet up at a restaurant and dine together without masks...and if we choose, we can catch a taxi somewhere and share it with sixteen other random people...but heaven forbid that I visit him at home!
We will be going to Level2 within the next 2 weeks and limited alcohol sales will be allowed again. People living on their own will be allowed to legally mingle with other people again. Maybe I can even legally buy you a beer this year already! Vasbyt!
I wanted to send my condolences to Vlag’s family and friends.
Terribly sad news and gone far too soon.
Thank you, Saffex
Vlag's memorial service was yesterday...I've got a link to the recording, it will stay up a few days. If anyone is interested, mail me. I'm still in 2 minds on watching it myself.
Just give me a shout here, I don't check the account regularly.

...to all the posters who frequented the old Super Supporter forum...a poster going by the handle of "Jimmy" passed away on Friday.
RIP "Oom Jimmy"
Bliksem, can't believe it's almost 4 years ago. I have no handle on the passage of time anymore.
Gosh I’m 50 now, Plum
Should I start my feud with Saffex now ?
Klop Pakie klop ...................
RIP Jimmy
Plum, I turn 53 in June.
Jislaaik, we've being doing the kakpraatery for over twenty years
