Toise (G 14)

Name: Toise

The Lutheran Church Society
Links have been established with the Lutheran Church Society locally as well as with its German counterpart which has already resulted in correspondence from Reverend Hirst Wagner in Germany. Reverend Wagner resided in South Africa between 1955 and 1976 during which time he acquired several heritage artefacts which he later sold and donated to the British Museum. The heritage artefacts back as far as 1850. The Society has forwarded a list to the Council of the ECPHRA listing a number of their buildings which have not yet been declared heritage structures, including:
• Lutheran Church Wartburg Mission at Toise River, founded in 1843
• Lutheran Church Liefeldt founded in 1856
• Lutheran Church Anders Mission at Mdizeni established in 1864
• Lutheran Church Kwa-Shushu, near Tamara Village, established in 1868
The Reverend Liefeldt of the Liefeldt church listed above was drowned tragically with his three daughters whilst crossing the Braunschweig and the first service ever held in the church he founded was their funeral service in Tshox (Mxaxo Location) and the place was renamed in his honour to Liefeldt Village. The incumbent Chairperson of the Council of the ECPHRA, Mr Monde Mkunqwana was in fact schooled in this very same church.
