 033 234 1167 |  [email protected] |  facebook.com/MHSOldBoys/ Head Boy 1995 – Andrew Purchase Andrew (Farfield, 1995) is currently based in Singapore. He has lived there with his wife and two daughters (aged 14 and 16) since 2009.

After leaving Michaelhouse in 1995, he earned two degrees, one in Commerce and then another in Law. Following this he did some lecturing in the UCT Law School; and was subsequently called to the Bar as an advocate. He has worked as a registered foreign lawyer in a local Singapore law firm in commercial litigation and international arbitration.

In parallel, his faith that began at Michaelhouse led him to serve as a pastor in a church in Cape Town for eight years; as well as planting a church in Singapore. He is currently a pastor in Singapore, which includes work into impoverished communities.

He has run the Singapore marathon; and turns out for the annual ‘Bench & Bar’ grudge match of the Singapore lawyers versus the Malaysian lawyers—fulfilling, he ironically quipped, his “childhood dream of one day being an international cricketer!”

When asked about the foremost thing he learned at school, he answered: “I will be forever grateful for learning the truth of the Christian faith at Michaelhouse; and for the life lesson that to be a person worthy of happiness is a greater aim than happiness itself .”

Old Boy Profile Richard Lister (West, 1961), who still devotes a day each week to tracking down contact details of Old Boys, was made Fellow Associate of Michaelhouse and the event was marked by a gathering of staff and Board members at the end of 2020. Richard, we enjoy and appreciate your weekly visits to the Heritage Centre and the citation below is an inspiring record of selfless dedication.

Making a Difference For Humanity... Brad Roets (Farfield, 1999)

Brad is currently teaching in Sweden and led a group of students on their Stockholm International School Nepal Project.

The SIS Experience of Nepal!

The Dispatch asked Mr Bradley Roets for his impressions of the trip, and in answering he smiled his usual broad and warm smile, “there are so many aspects and facets to mention” he beamed, “Our students wake with the sun and set off through the mountain paths on a half- hour trek up to school, the same trek taken every day by Nepalese children as young as 6 years old. And you have to understand the joy and happiness expressed by the Nepalese children, and how that affects our students. They quickly realise the level of privilege we have compared to others and that is a humbling experience, especially when those in poverty can shine with such warmth and happiness.”

Mr Roets began warming to his theme, “But it’s more than just those kinds of learning experiences, there are also really fun learning experiences, for example, I’ve witnessed so many instances of our students struggling to communicate and battle through the language barrier because they have to work out other ways to communicate.

4 Our students can be flustered and frustrated because it’s not easy, but they keep going, experimenting with no verbal communication, and in doing so they begin forming bonds. Our students are the ones who cry when they leave, they’ve worked so hard to create a connection with the children, some of whom are only a year or two younger, and in doing so they all creep into each other’s hearts. It’s just brilliant!”

5 Transformation and Diversity Update Since last year a number of transformation and diversity initiatives have been implemented at Michaelhouse. Karabo Che Makoape has been working with us on this journey. Antony Clark has provided much detail in recent presentations and editions of the Rector’s e-News. The recorded meeting with Karabo, at the link below, gives a very good insight into the programme, aims and progress to date. Recording: http://bit.ly/2QsHOmx

Karabo Che Makoape – Social Entrepreneur, Author, Speaker, Transformation and Diversity Consultant

The FABS (Financially Assisted Boys Support) Programme It is great to have Pat Lambie (Founders, 2008) as the Old Boy champion of this programme and Lonwabo Mgoduso (Baines, 2013) has also shown an interest in being involved. To date, and before being launched, the programme has attracted donations to the value of R34 000, R25 000 of which has been ring-fenced for purchasing laptops for use by boys in the programme. A second-hand laptop has also been donated.

Background It has become clear that scholarships and bursaries, even if these cover the full fees, are inadequate to allow some of the financially assisted boys to thrive at Michaelhouse. These boys require extra funding to cover their day-to-day needs. Also, the benefit of a Michaelhouse education could be lost if these boys enjoy all the opportunities on offer while at school, but are left in a void as they matriculate if there are unable to afford tertiary education or find meaningful employment opportunities.

Mentoring A mentoring programme has been implemented for boys on financial assistance and who require pastoral support. This builds on the good work initiated by Linda Shezi and Sibs Ncamane. This programme aims to ensure that boys from different cultural backgrounds have a space in which they can express their needs and concerns and also where they can be supported to succeed in what could be for them a very different socio- economic environment.

Staff in the sport department also meet regularly with these boys and mentor them through aspects of their

6 school journey including their general participation in school activities, their well-being, coping with pressure etc. Of these, 16 boys (14 black and 2 white) have been flagged as needing extra financial support. Pat Lambie has offered to participate in the mentoring process, as has Lonwabo Mgoduso.

The Old Boy Connection The Central Committee of the Old Boys Club has supported two initiatives: 1. A fund (FABS Fund): To support current needy and financially assisted boys. This will be a discretionary fund, probably not an endowment, to help boys from impoverished homes. Monies will be raised by making appeals for relatively small contributions from Old Boys so as not to affect the larger-scale fundraising for capital projects. It is likely that funds will be raised by word of mouth, Old Boys’ branches and platforms such as Back-a-buddy. This fund will help with the purchase of day-to-day items including clothing, toiletries, pocket money; food vouchers for boys’ where it is clear that they are undernourished during lockdown and holidays; festival and tour fees and a pool of devices which boys can use while at school. The fund will be administered by the bursary for auditing purposes. All disbursements will made at the discretion of the mentoring team (currently a Deputy Rector, Senior Master and Head of Department). Old Boys may also be invited to meet the boys to share their experiences and wisdom as part of this mentoring programme. 2. Creating post-school opportunities: Creating a network of Old Boys who can offer internships, work ex- perience, workplace and entrepreneurial mentoring or bursaries for study to help launch these young men into opportunities in the world beyond school. These two projects will be led by in his capacity as Central Committee member.

Contributing to the fund: Anyone who wishes to support this initiative in cash or kind can by depositing funds into the school account: Bank: Standard Account: Michaelhouse Account no. 52211002 Reference: FABS Donated good quality devices can be delivered to Michaelhouse, marked for attention Mr Linda Shezi.

Michael Bromwich (West, 1959) National Parks and Wildlife Management – Rhodesia and Zimbabwe (1928 – 1990)

Born in in 1941, Mike attended junior school and grew up in Bulawayo. He completed his education and matriculated at Michaelhouse, in KwaZulu Natal – a part of the world still dear to his heart. As a keen sportsman, he was awarded colours for rugby and athletics and went on to play rugby for Southern Rhodesia and the Combined Federal Forces of Rhodesia and Nyasaland and presently lives in Bulawayo.

In his early years, with bush and commonages on his doorstep, Mike grew up with a passion for sport, the outdoors, wildlife and, like others of his era, a love for hunting and fishing. After some years in banking, several transfers around the country and retirement from his rugby career due to injuries, he applied to join National Parks - where his heart lay. He was accepted in 1966 and completed the University of Rhodesia’s Certificate in Field Ecology in 1972, passing with an overall distinction, and was promoted to senior ranger the same year.

In 1976, Mike was appointed as warden and posted to Robins Camp. With the rapidly deteriorating security situation, he was moved to Chizarira and then on to Mabalauta – little short of a war zone and a far cry from the languid tranquillity of his ranger days in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s.

Following Independence, he was transferred to Matetsi and then to Main Camp, Hwange (Wankie), where - after 17 years’ service - he ‘retired’ from the Department of Parks that had been a way of life and his home, to immigrate to South Africa in 1983.

After many years in the hospitality industry in South Africa, he returned to Zimbabwe in 2000 – and relinquished formal employment in 2008. Since then, he has devoted six years of his life to meticulously research, analyse and document the history of the Department of National Parks and Wild Life Management, believing it imperative to honour the many dedicated men and women he’s had the privilege to know and work with on the ground.

His book, National Parks and Wildlife Management – Rhodesia and Zimbabwe (1928 – 1990), relates the hitherto untold story of the Department of National Parks and Wild Life Management in Rhodesia and early Zimbabwe. A unique historic, factual and anecdotal account, it tells of the country’s founding fathers and their foresight regarding wildlife conservation through into the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s. Dispersed throughout are personal accounts and anecdotes - many humorous, others seemingly impossible that link a team of great men and women, both black and white, by a common thread of camaraderie, integrity and loyalty to the country, and the well-being of its wildlife.

A feature of this book is the chapter entitled Rhino Wars, a hard-hitting account that will open the eyes of many. Regular and covert anti-poaching operations in the lower Zambezi Valley and elsewhere took the war to the poachers, buying time for capture units to move some 400 black rhino to conservancies and Intensive Protection Zones. Thanks to untiring efforts by a handful of dedicated men, there are still black and white rhino in Zimbabwe today.

It is great to have Gerry Noel (Tatham, 2003) back on campus. We have waited a long time for his return, but this was all worthwhile as Megan, daughter Rumi and Mo the dog, are part of the package. As Senior Master Academic and Biology teacher, Gerry is already proving to be an energetic, insightful, and creative member of the team. His old Biology teacher will claim a small portion of this responsibility!!

Michaelhouse Community Partnership Trust Update

The Community Partnership Trust programme continues to make a difference to 16 schools, pupils and teachers in the local community. Sixty eight percent (almost R1,5 million) of Community Partnership income for 2021 comprises Old Boys’ donations, either through personal donations or their business corporate social investment spend. Well done guys. Please consider us for your future CSI spends too.

Each house has adopted a local school for their service project. B Block boys in each house will be driving the service programme as part of their leadership development and they may reach out to Old Boys of their houses for advice and help. What a wonderful way to maintain ties with your house.

13 Simon Williams (A Block, Founders)

A separate project, which costs nothing, and raises funds for Community Partnership projects has been adopted by Simon Williams (A Block, Founders) as his Rector’s Leadership portfolio. This involves joining MySchool and School-Days programmes.

Put simply, this is a huge opportunity to raise much more money for various Michaelhouse Community Partnership Trust (CPT) projects in a very easy way at no cost to ourselves. Over the past couple of years, we have utilized the MySchool card to raise about R60 000 each year.

Our aim now is to increase the number of active supporters through MySchool and to start a new initiative called School-Days. The two initiatives do not compete with one another. With completely different retailers, we can raise much more in 2021, for a very good cause.

School-Days allows you to raise funds for Michaelhouse CPT through Dis-Chem, Net Florist,

SnapnSave, rental cars etc. School-Days operates either off an app via your cell phone or through the Dis-Chem Shoppers’ card. It also has a really convenient vehicle licence renewal function.

Steps to download ‘School-Days’ app: 1. Download the app off your cellular device ‘School- Days’ mobile app. 2. Once downloaded, you will need to sign up using your details. 3. After logging in, you will need to select Michaelhouse- Balgowan as your beneficiary. You may use the app at the specified stores to gain points.

MySchool allows you to help us raise funds through Woolworths, loot.co.za, Engen (walk-in store), Builders, Bidvest (Waltons) and many more. MySchool operates on the MySchool card or off your cellular device on the MySchool app.

14 Steps to download ‘MySchool’ app: 1. You will have to download the app ‘MySchool’ on your phone. 2. After downloading the app, just create an online account. (If you already have a physical card, just sign in with your card number and password) 3. Once you have created the account, select Michaelhouse to be your beneficiary. (For those of you with the physical card, either add or change it so that Michaelhouse is your beneficiary)

We invite all the Michaelhouse parents, grandparents, staff and Old Boys to join our initiative and contribute to our programme. As you all know, the need for financial support is greater than ever and will be hugely appreciated with every cent earned distributed to Michaelhouse Community Partnerships ventures.

Simon’s target is to raise a further R30 000 – R100 000 to add to the R68 000 we earned last year through the points accumulated by parents, Old Boys and staff. The Rector and staff are fully supportive of this venture and we hope you will soon be on board too.

Old Boy Making Airwaves Gareth ‘G-Dog’ Jenkinson (Tatham, 2008) Following on from our May 2020 Old Boys’ newsletter, it is great to be able to report that Gareth has won an additional radio award, as the regional winner for Innovation in Journalism at the Vodacom Journalist of the Year Awards.

Ephraim was appointed by Lance Knight, the then Estate Manager, to the Michaelhouse staff in 1973. As a sixteen-year-old lad, he started work as an assistant in the Estates Department, mowing lawns, trimming hedges and mending tar roads on campus. He recalls Lance inspecting the estate and current nature reserve on horseback. In 1979, when Jon Morgan managed the estate, Ephraim moved to become the groom for staff and boys’ horses. He recalls caring for horses owned by amongst others Humphrey Hamilton, Adam Rouillard and Stuart Campbell.

In 1988, as the number of boys’ horses on campus dwindled, Ephraim joined the security team as a dog handler. When Michaelhouse outsourced security in 2006, Ephraim opted not to join a private security company and left Michaelhouse to follow business opportunities.

Ephraim re-joined Michaelhouse in 2008, initially as a painter before moving to Housekeeping as a cleaner and driver. His diligence and integrity soon ensured that he rose to the position of manager in the Housekeeping Department, a position from which he retires at the end of 2020.

Helene du Toit (1996 – 2020)

The Du Toits arrived at Michaelhouse from the Drakensberg Boys Choir School in July 1996. Helene started at Michaelhouse as a part-time teacher and then took on a full-time role from 2003. She also taught Divinity for a couple of years.

Mevrou has been a patient and caring teacher that has made every endeavour to assist her pupils to understand Afrikaans better and to get good marks. She has been an advocate for the use of IT in the classroom for many years

17 and the Covid-19 pandemic presented her with the perfect opportunity to show the rest of the department what the road ahead looks like. She has been all about maintaining high standards and her administration has been of the highest quality. She also acted as chaperone for the KZN Youth Choir on numerous occasions while her husband Gerard’d was in charge of the choir.

During the past 24 years she has been involved in various activities at Michaelhouse and has proven herself to be a jack of all trades. She was MIC of the service programme was also involved with Michaelhouse’s exchange programme for a couple of years and she was in charge of IEB examinations for some time. She also stood at the helm of the Film Appreciation Society, the AKV (Afrikaans Society) the Sailing Club and she was even part of the squash coaching staff back in the day.

Staff Farewells Susan Dawson (2008 – 2020) Susan has been a part of the Midlands Community for very many years. Susan has worked in school environments for over 35 years, beginning at St Dominic’s in Johannesburg for 16 years before moving to the Midlands in July 1999 with her husband, Mick. Susan ran the Bursary Department at Clifton for five years until 2008 when she moved to Michaelhouse, where she has been for almost 13 years.

The Assistant Bursar role is not always an easy one and at times can be the villain in the school according to some staff. It takes a special person to be able to fill the post, do what needs to be done and still maintain friendships and relationships along the way. Susan leaves us for another school, across a hemisphere and continent and of course a country to join Lomond School in Scotland. Our loss is very much their gain.

Alan Adlington-Corfield (2006 – 2020) Alan and Jessica arrived at Michaelhouse in January 2006 with their three young children, Josh, Olivia and Bella.

On his watch Mathematics flourished, matric marks escalated to the outstanding levels which are still sustained today, and the ranks of Advanced Programme Mathematics candidates swelled. Alan also extended Mathematics support in local community schools. This project resulted in some local schools achieving the highest matric marks in many years. Alan was also a regular member of Outdoor Education programmes, Trout Club expeditions to East Griqualand and a leading influence in the development of the new High Performance Centre.

Alan’s leadership made him the ideal candidate for the position of Deputy Rector, Academic and after fifteen years of dedicated and exceptional service Alan leaves Michaelhouse to take up the position of Executive

18 Headmaster of the Mpesa Academy School in Tika, Kenya this year. Alan and Jessica will no doubt make a huge difference in Tika. We look forward to hearing of their successes and wish them fulfillment and every happiness in their exciting new journey in Kenya.

We say Farewell to two friends of Old Boys Sue Pollock, daughter of Robbie Robinson (previous head of Science) and Anne, mother of Gavin Steiner and sister of Richard and William Robinson, lost the battle against cancer on 5 February 2021 due to cancer.

Sue was born and christened at Michaelhouse, got married in the chapel and christened all her children there as well. Her eldest daughter, in family tradition was married by Rev Malcolm Sargent in the chapel in 1990. Her son, Gavin Steiner (Founders, 1990) featured in our last newsletter for his environmental research into alternatives to plastic packaging at Nestle’ in Switzerland.

Sue will be remembered for her compilation of the Michaelhouse Sue doing something she Centenary Photo Book, growing up with the son of Rector Snell. loved - Photography

George Maistry Subramanien, who welcomed generations of Old Boys and their families to Rawdons passed away on 4 January 2021 after 60 years (1959 – 2019) of service at Rawdons Hotel & Brewery. George will be missed by all who enjoyed his friendly smile and interested conversations.

19 Old Boys Events 2020 DURBAN BRANCH – Evening Drinks at Blues on Beachwood Steven Boast (Durban Branch Chairman) was thrilled to report back that the Drinks Evening held on 17 November 2020 at the Blues at Beachwood in Durban North was a great success considering these unusual COVID times.

Over 80 old boys, wives, past and current parents attended the casual drinks evening at the rooftop bar at the Beachwood Country Club venue overlooking the golf course.

Congratulations to Brent Maartens who won the 1/2 sheep donated by Karoo Kitchen and a big thanks to E Snell Co for donating the whiskey, tequila, gin and vodka hampers.

What a magnificent venue for this wonderful get together of the Michaelhouse Durban community.

Thank you, Steven from the Old Boys’ Club, for creating this time of connection and camaraderie.

23 #OMOHODtogether now becomes #OMHDAtogether!

The successful LinkedIn initiative by the UK Branch continues and is now expanding! On 12 March, the UK Branch of the Old Andrean Club (St Andrew’s Grahamstown) joined the group. Since then, over 120 Old Andreans have joined bringing the membership of the group to over 770.

The professional group was set up by UK Branch Chairman, Sean Lumley (Baines, 1994), during COVID lockdown to create an environment for Old Boys from all four schools to ask for help, offer help, share knowledge and do good business. To date there have been over 70 posts from Old Boys in 25 different industries offering help. This has resulted in many new business connections being made, introductions, coaching / mentoring sessions, and jobs secured that otherwise would not have happened.

They recently set up a discounts initiative: #DiscountsForOldBoys which has been well received. This has included discounts on wine, leadership coaching and reviewing of financial models. OM Andrew King’s (Farfield, 2009) 20% off for Old Boys from his UK-Based Biltong Shack has been the most popular!

All OMs are welcome, and we have a healthy membership beyond the UK who are active participants. If you are

24 interested in joining the group, please apply by following this link. If you just want to learn more about what we are getting up to, follow this link to our online guide which also includes some of our success stories.

Sean and his fellow UK Branch Chairmen from Hilton, Bishops and St Andrews are looking forward to growing more and expanding the community of Old Boys looking out for one and other.

So there we have it – a Michaelhouse inter-house gala in Trafalgar Square. My informant (for the sake of anonymity let’s call him Whisky) is absolutely reliable, beyond reproach, not prone to exaggeration. He’s a sound and sensible man.

Natal Mercury – The Idler article – ‘That Michaelhouse swimming gala’ (1 February 2021)

I’ve no wish to keep harping on that incident of Michaelhouse swimming gala in Trafalgar Square on a snowy night in London many years ago. It’s already been mentioned twice and the readers could get bored.

However, my own good name and reputation are now at stake. It’s come to my attention that vile calumny is being spread, to the effect that while the two Michaelhouse fellows were splashing about the icy waters of the Trafalgar Square fountains in their scants – this after a hearty Christmas night dinner in Knightsbridge – I was all for stealing their clothes, car keys included, so they would have to make their way back to the flat in their scants, flitting on foot from doorway to doorway.

Heh, heh… er. Nothing could ne further from the truth.

That is something I could never so much as contemplate doing – not even to Michaelhouse blokes.
