My Masonic journey started off with one of my favourite subjects – Rugby. I never knew about Freemasonry and had no clue of what this organization stood for. I joined Freemasonry in June 1996 after I was asked by a colleague if I am not interested in joining “die Losie”. I told my friend that […]

I had heard the word Freemasonry mentioned by my parents and grandparents in conversation but as neither my father nor grandfathers nor other male relatives were Freemasons, I had not paid much attention to it. When I was 13 or 14 however my father was initiated in Lodge De Vereeniging, no. 3 on the role of the Grand Lodge of South Africa in Graaff-Reinet. In those days the members did not speak about Freemasonry and my elder brother and I were forbidden to open our father’s Masonic suitcase.

We all tend to mingle with people that are similar to us. Through Freemasonry, I am surrounded by people of all social classes, colors, or faiths. People who have different expectations and interests, but in the end, Freemasonry brings something special and personal to each and every one of us while still managing to connect us together to a much deeper level.

Following the program, I decided to research about Freemasonry, which is when I came across the website of the Grand Lodge of South Africa. There I […]

Everyone has their own reasons for joining, some need friendship while others, like myself, have the need to improve themselves continually. Freemasonry gives me that. It gives me the tools using lessons developed over more than 300 years to improve myself daily and make me a better version of myself every day.

Since an early age I struggled just accepting life as it was, with its man-made rules, religion and ‘set ways’ of previous generations. This of course gave my parents grey hair and resulted in me being pointed at as the ‘difficult’ one, especially in Sunday school. What people just didn’t understand is that my reluctance […]
