Other interesting info:

St Faith’s as a parish depended strongly on thefinancial resources of the Natal Diocese as the people who worshipped there earned verylittle or nothing. Also, in the earlier years the townships of Lamontville, Chesterville,Clermont and Kwamashu/Ntuzuma did not have Anglican Churches for black people. Theylargely depended on the services of visiting priests from St Faith’s and other churches untilthe parishes of St Simon’s, St Barnabas, St Andrews and Ekuvukeni were established. These township parishes are still considered to be the “off-spring” of St Faith. It isheartwarming to see that the parish of St Faith has never stopped its evangelical mission aswe still have outstations such as St Barnabas/Cato Crest, Red Hill, Westville even today

Thora worked at Fulton School for the Deaf in Hillcrest and would often spend weekends at 39 Ben Nevis Road, Red Hill, Durban, with RAW and Bobby. At that stage Alex and Cilla (his wife) were living at Botha’s Hill, where Cilla was in charge of the jointly owned Anglican, Methodist and Presbyterian churches conference centre called “Koinonia”. Alex had his regular job as a plumber and was responsible for running repairs on the property. They could thus give Thora a lift back to Fulton on their way home. Alex recalls that Aunt Thora would always pull you up if you were slouching, declaring: ”Sit up straight, shoulders back!”
