REUNIONS 2024
60 YEARS ON – THE CLASS OF 1964
On Friday, 17 May 2024, Pretoria Boys High School welcomed 21 Old Boys from the Class of 1964, some of their partners and a few special guests, for their 60 Years On reunion.
During a wonderful outdoors assembly the Headmaster, Mr Greg Hassenkamp, paid tribute to 1964’s Head Prefect George Laurence KC who travelled from London to attend this special occasion. He said:
In preparing for this assembly I found an extract written by former Headmaster Mr Desmond Abernethy in the book he wrote when he retired in 1973. The book is called ‘A School that is set on a Hill’ and in this book he had the following to say about Mr Laurence;
“In 1964 the Head Prefect, George F Laurence, a character of “infinite resource and sagacity”, decided that every boy in the School should be reminded of the principles to which the school was dedicated. He asked the boys what ideas they had when they thought of the school. These thoughts were distillated, and the final result printed on parchment paper, a copy for each boy to sign, rolled up as every important document should be, tied together in pink ribbon and presented to the Headmaster. They were then placed in a massive safe in the Headmaster’s Study and there they remain to this day. This dedication formed part of the official opening of the new school hall. The articles of dedication were read out to all those present at this very special Assembly. The document reads: ‘We the present scholars of Pretoria Boys High School, gratefully acknowledging our indebtedness to all whose devotion to the School in the past has made it what it is, dedicate ourselves sincerely and in humility,
-To the service of God and our fellows, both within the community of the School and beyond it
-To the pursuit of knowledge and understanding
-To the preservation and promotion of all that is best in the traditions of our School to the practice of tolerance and goodwill towards human beings of all types, races and groups
-To making our School a symbol of enlightenment, true freedom, generous-hearted fellowship and good sportsmanship’.
I share this script with you this morning because 60 years later I can assure you, Mr Laurence and the Class of 1964, that everything you have spoken about in this dedication we still strive to achieve today”.
When introducing George Laurence, Mr Hassenkamp said:
“Having studied at Cape Town University, George won a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford, became a barrister in 1972, a Queens Counsel in 1991 and remains in practice at the Bar in London to this day (although following the death of Her Majesty on 8 September 2022, he automatically became a King’s Counsel). He has sat as a Deputy High Court Judge, is a Bencher of the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple (one of the famous Inns of Court) and is known in England as a leading expert on the law as it relates to the countryside and to common land”.
After Old Boy Howard Ross gave a scripture reading, George Laurence gave a speech during which he addressed the boys attending from Form I to Form V and said inter alia:
“I hope that one day in the future, when you are old men, many of you will have a grandson at PBHS. I, like you, was once a boy at this school. I was such a boy between 1960 and 1964, along with more than 20 of my friends who are sitting here today. You may wonder why we have bothered to come, some of us from far away. I will try to tell you. The answer is that, despite the passage of 60 years since we left, our affection for this place remains undiminished.
How can that possibly be? How can our memories still remain so real, 60 years later? The answer is this. In life you carry with you, till you die, every great joy – and every great sorrow – you have experienced. Those joys and those sorrows are like companions you never forget. If you have a great sorrow, people sometimes say – perhaps they are right – that after a while you should get over it. Put it behind you. But nobody ever says you should get over a great joy. Why would they? A joy is like a gift, after all.
60 years ago us old guys received such a gift. To adapt Portia, talking of mercy, in the Merchant of Venice, the gift we received dropped “as the gentle rain from heaven, upon the place beneath”. In this place, we were surrounded by teachers and staff. They saw us in our Boys High uniform. They felt affection for us all, and expressed it, in their very different ways, even before they had grown to know us.
By feeling and expressing their affection for us, our teachers helped us to feel affection for them and for each other. And for ourselves.
This is the crux of the matter. I have come to believe that a successful life, a life in which “success” means what I think it should mean, is a life lived by a boy or girl (and, later, a man or woman), who know how to feel affection for themselves.
I believe this School taught us, above all, to feel good about ourselves: to feel confident, without becoming over-confident. If you feel affection for yourself, if you value yourself, if you can talk nicely to yourself, you will of course make sure that you help your mates to feel the same about themselves. You will remind them, if they are feeling down, why you feel affection for them. In that way you will help them to rediscover their affection for themselves. By doing those things, you are learning to live what I call a successful life.
If you can attain that kind of success, the rest is easy. Of course most of you will also work hard and do well and perhaps win glittering prizes. Maybe one day you will make lots of money and own a big house and even become famous. But that kind of success, what the world calls success, is not the kind of success I am really talking about. The kind of success I am talking about is available to every single one of us, whether we end up being a big-shot or not”.
The Old Boys and their partners enjoyed their day at the School on the Hill, starting with reuniting over tea on the Solomon House lawn at 08:00 to observing the playing of the Last Post in front of the School at 17:30. The group expressed their appreciation to their classmate Mr Leon Kok for the role he played in convening and organising the reunion.

THE OLD BOYS “OUTPOST” IN PERTH PROUDLY SALUTES
ITS CENTENARIAN PBHS OLD BOY CHARLES ELLIOT KITAY
CLASS OF 1939 – ARCADIA HOUSE
The Old Boys Branch in Perth, Western Australia has started to meet regularly and Old Boy Charles Elliot Kitay, a centenarian from the Class of 1939, recently joined them at a lunch get-together. Hereunder a letter he wrote to Eddie Penzhorn.
Dear Eddie
I’m delighted to connect with the Alumni of Pretoria Boys High School and I thank young Selwyn Dolgoy and you for reaching out to me, as a fellow Old Boy.
Some 10 or 20 years ago when I walked into a room full of people I would look around to see if I was the oldest person there. These days, I don’t bother, as it’s a given fact!!
I was born in Pretoria on 15 January 1924 to Mini and Max Kitay. (What are the chances of having parents with opposite names??) In January this year I celebrated my 100th birthday.
Although I was born as Charles Elliot Kitay; I was called Eli at home and most probably “Kitay” at school, but Charles at university and at work. However, in sport and social circles I’ve conveniently always been called Eli.
We lived at 756 Duncan Street (now Jan Shoba) on the corner of Lynnwood Road. At around 7 years of age my father died and my mother later married Goodman Silberman and my half brother Colin was born from that union. Colin was quite a businessman who established “Handy-House” in Voortrekker Road (now Steve Biko), a very successful Pretoria wholesaler business for many years.
Colin, who also went to PBHS, is now 88 years old and lives half the year in Perth and the other half “across the ditch” in Auckland, New Zealand. My younger brother Cecil also attended PBHS and later graduated as a doctor at Tukkies (Pretoria University). He unfortunately passed away 12 years ago.
In 1935, a few years after my father died, I (all of 11 years old) was shipped off to boarding school in Johannesburg. I was to have entered as a standard 5 student but because I was the only student in that year, I was pushed up a year.
I returned to Pretoria in 1937 and entered PBHS as a Form 3 student, where I matriculated as a 15 year old in 1939.
Some memories of Boys High:-
I used to cycle to school every day, come rain, hail or shine. My mother and Goodman worked in the shop that had been started by my late father at 149 Lynnwood Road, across the road from our house.
-At PBHS I was in placed in Form 3B and in Arcadia House;
-I took Latin as a subject and Mr Noel Pollock was my teacher;
-At boarding school I had never studied Afrikaans, but Mr Mostert was my Afrikaans teacher at PBHS and he was great in helping me catch up on this subject. He did a fantastic job as I later attained my BSc degree at Tukkies;
-My History teacher was Mr Green; and
-My Science teacher was Mr Wolf.
Probably the most notable event I can recall, that had a big impact on my life, was in 1936 when South Africa participated at the Olympic Games in Berlin. After the games concluded, the SA Olympic swimming coach (whose name escapes me) came to PBHS with 2 SA Olympic swimmers, Molly Ryde and Terry Collard, and spoke to us and showed us how to swim.
Those encounters got me hooked on swimming and that was the genesis of a long and rewarding swimming career. I never swam for PBHS – I don’t believe the school had a swimming pool at that time, as I swam at the Hillcrest pool in Duncan Street.
Because of my age I couldn’t participate in cadets until my last years in high school, but only when I was in Form 5 and I recall doing drill on the rugby fields.
I recall a time when the extended rugby fields needed to be planted with grass, so all the boys including me were enlisted to help and I recall us being down on our haunches planting the runners.
The tuck shop was in Solomon house – I recall being able to buy a penny’s worth of sweets.
I recall having an Assembly every morning and the Headmaster, Mr Daniel Matheson, addressing us each time.
I recall myself and another student, who became the Pretoria City Electrical engineer, being told that if we studied a little harder, we could get first class passes. Neither of us achieved this!!
After Form 5, I went to Tukkies and did a BSc, mastering in pure and applied maths. During my time at Tukkies I swam for the N-Tvl Provincial Swimming Team.
By the time I was 18 I had my BSC degree and I went onto WITS (University) to study civil engineering; a field that I worked in until I retired at the age of 78, and then I emigrated to Perth.
In 1952 I had married my wife Hazel, a county girl having been born and schooled in Bethlehem in the OFS. We have 3 sons, born between 1955 and 1960, Martin, Stanley and Mervyn. They are all married and between them we have 9 grandchildren and 16 great grand children.
I celebrated my centenary in January and Hazel turned 96 in February this year. We now live in aged care in Dianella which is about 7 km from the Perth CBD.
My hearing is pretty poor and my eyesight is ok but not brilliant – otherwise I remain in good health. I need a walker to get around, but as long as I have it I can still keep up with the youngsters!!
I use the gym at the Home a few times a week and until last week I was still swimming up to 200m on Saturday mornings at Beatty park. But with weak legs I’ve decided to finally throw in the towel and just enjoy my memories of the pool. So, to keep my mind active I play Wordle and Sudoku most days.
Some comments on my sporting career:-
After Hazel and I married, life (like with so many) was occupied by children, work and a mortgage. Around 1975 my son Mervyn was very active in athletics as a member of the Wanderers Club. It involved training and racing every day of the week other than a Friday.
I would fetch him most days and would sit and watch the goings-on, until one day I decided to get on my running shoes and I joined “Walk for Life”. I was in my early 50’s then and from there I started road running and very soon I was a member of Rand Athletics Club (RAC), and participated in many road races, up to half marathons.
After emigrating to Perth in the early 2000’s, I continued to run but soon encountered knee problems, so I hung up my runners and went back to the pool. I was around 79 years old and also a member of several sporting clubs in Perth including Beaty Park and Osborne Park.
Here I established a number of National Records for the 90 – 91 year-old Age Group in the 200m -, 800m – and 1500m freestyle events and these records still stand today.
Although I have held many Western Australian (WA) records, once I resigned from these Clubs, the records got expunged.
I welcome any opportunities to catch up with the Pretoria Boys High School Alumni and thank you again for contacting me.
Kind regards
Eli

CONGRATULATIONS TO AIDEN MARKRAM (2012 ARMSTRONG)
FROM ALL PBHS OLD BOYS!
Hundreds, if not thousands, of Old Boys have lost hair and fingernails as they followed the journey of our T20 international side to the World Cup Final. All of us are immensely proud of the side’s achievement and in particular would like to congratulate Aiden Markram on his outstanding captaincy, rated by many commentators and analysts as the best captain at the World Cup. His leadership style resulted in his forging a team of great character who obviously enjoyed working with him. In addition his self-effacing and humble dealing with the media was world class. We all share the disappointment of not winning the World Cup but with his captaincy, we all believe SA cricket has a bright future. Well done, Aiden – (Text kindly written by No. 1 Fan, Mr Bill Schroder, Headmaster 1990-2009)

THE PRETORIAN TRUST OF PBHS
DEVELOPING TOMORROW’S LEADERS TODAY
The purpose of the Pretorian Trust (a Non Profit Organisation) of Pretoria Boys High School is to make the dream of attending PBHS a reality for eligible male pupils in financial need.
The mission of the Pretorian Trust is to provide a structure through which interested donors, wanting to make a difference, can assist boys from disadvantaged backgrounds by providing the means for them to attend PBHS and fulfill their educational dreams – thereby building exceptional leadership capacity in South Africa.
Former PBHS Headmaster Bill Schroder is spearheading the “Developing Tomorrow’s Leaders Today” campaign of the Pretorian Trust. “The Pretorian Trust is a fundraising body established in 1975 and will be the depository for donations for this campaign. Please be aware that there is a tax benefit attached to a donation to the Trust. Donations range from cash, bequests in wills, pledges for donations over a number of years and debit orders. There seems to be a perception that a campaign of this nature requires large donations only. This is totally wrong as no donation is too small. In the words of Edmund Burke, ‘Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little’. There are currently 84 boys on a variety of bursaries to the value of R7.3 million. We have R11.1 million in an investment account with and a further R3.9 million in signed pledges, on-going pledges, debit orders and money in the bank,” said Mr Schroder recently.
Prominent Old Boys, together with the school’s Headmaster and the Chairman of the School Governing Body, are Trustees and meet regularly to discuss the status and advancement of the Pretorian Trust.
We recently introduced a video, featuring inter alia the current Headmaster, Greg Hassenkamp, the former Headmaster, Bill Schroder and Old Boys Justice Edwin Cameron and John Smit, to launch our new, quick and easy payment platform on the Pretorian Trust website. To view the video please use this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSkqhkB0WdQ or, to make a donation or download a debit order form, visit the website: https://pretorian.co.za/donate/ – please remember to enter your name and email address on the payment page. A Section 18A Tax Certificate can be made available.

OLD BOYS VISITING PBHS GROUNDS
Keeping PBHS boys, boarders, residents, staff and visitors safe is of paramount importance to us all.
The School’s Estate Manager has asked us to make a plea to Old Boys intending to visit the grounds to either produce their Old Boys Card (if they are Association Life Members) to security at the main gate in Roper Street, or to pre-book with the School’s PR office via pr@boyshigh.com (Ms Tarryn Parker).
Let’s work together to keep our most prized assets, the boys of PBHS, safe at all times.

IN MEMORIAM
LOURENS WEPENER HUGO (“LAURIE”) ACKERMANN
PASSING OF A GREAT SOUTH AFICAN
On Saturday 8 June 2024, I attended the annual dinner of the PBHS Old Boys Association, not as an old boy, but as a past Chairman of the Governing Body and Life Vice Chairman of the Association. One of the absent friends was referred to as Professor Laurie Ackermann. He was in fact Mr Justice LWH (“Laurie”) Ackermann who was, for the last 11 years of his judicial career, an outstanding Justice of the Constitutional Court. Since he was one of the most impressive and distinguished PBHS old boys that it has been my privilege to know for more than 50 years, I thought that it would be fitting to record as briefly as possible his PBHS background, academic and judicial achievements, his contribution to the development of our Constitutional law and our law generally and the personal qualities that made him the man that he was.
On Saturday 24 May 2024 Laurie Ackermann passed away peacefully after a long illness. He matriculated from PBHS in 1950 and he went on to have a long, successful and distinguished career as academic, advocate and Judge. He was one of the first five judicial appointees to the Constitutional Court in 1994 and he served as a Justice of the Court for 11 years during which he made a profound and lasting contribution to the development of a new jurisprudence based on human rights.
On 14 January 1934 Laurie was born into an Afrikaans-speaking family in Pretoria but like many others who attend PBHS he was brought up conversant in English and Afrikaans. He first attended Laerskool Pretoria Oos and then PBHS where, in 1950, he was the Head Prefect of the school and a member of the first rugby and cricket teams. After matriculating he went to Stellenbosch University to study law. In 1953 he completed his first degree (BA (Law)) cum laude and in 1954 he won a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford university. He came down from Oxford with a BA (Hons) in Jurisprudence. and continued his studies at Stellenbosch for an LLB degree, which he completed in 1957.
After a short stint as a Judge’s clerk for Judge Faure Williamson he joined the Pretoria Bar in 1958. He practised as an advocate at the Pretoria Bar from then until he was appointed a judge in the Transvaal Supreme Court (now High Court). He was granted senior status in 1975 and was appointed a judge in 1980. While he was at the Bar, he served on the Pretoria Bar Council and the General Council of the Bar of South Africa. From the outset it was obvious that he had a profound knowledge of the law and a very incisive and analytical mind and he delivered many careful, thoughtful and well-reasoned judgments that have stood the test of time. It was clear that he was destined for greater things.
While he served on the Supreme Court in Transvaal Laurie was the Chairman of the Governing Body of PBHS and he was the national vice-president of the National Institute for the Prevention of Crime and the Rehabilitation of Offenders
During his time in the Transvaal Supreme Court Laurie often was required to apply apartheid legislation which he considered both unfair and inhumane but which the Courts were obliged to apply because of parliamentary sovereignty. He found himself opposed to this legislation, so much so that, in 1987 he requested the State President, PW Botha, to allow him to take early retirement. After his request was refused, he resigned from the Bench. This meant that he left the Bench without any benefits. He then became professor in human rights law as the occupant of the newly-established Harry Oppenheimer Chair of Human Rights at Stellenbosch where he lectured on the subject. He occupied this position for five years.
While he was at Stellenbosch he was a visiting scholar at the Columbia Law School in New York and at the Max Planck’s Institute for Comparative Public Law in Heidelberg. He also was a member of the Lesotho Court of Appeal and he served on the Namibian Supreme Court.
In January 1993 Laurie was re-appointed a judge in the Supreme Court, this time in the Cape of Good Hope Provincial Division, and in April 1994 he was the chairman of the Cape Electoral Appeal Tribunal.
He was appointed to the Constitutional Court in August 1994.
It is not possible to provide more than a brief summary of his other activities, most of which were time-consuming.
From 1988 to 2003 Laurie was the South African secretary of the Rhodes Trust which awards South African scholarships. He spoke at universities in South Africa and abroad on constitutional law and he had a particular interest in fundamental rights under the Constitution, especially the role of dignity in constitutional jurisprudence. Laurie played an important role in the development of the Constitutional Court’s early jurisprudence, particularly in respect of dignity and its relationship to equality and non-discrimination. After his retirement he completed a seminal work on this aspect of the Constitution entitled Human Dignity: Lodestar for Equality in South Africa which was published in 2012. As far as I am aware this work is regarded with some reverence by academics and practitioners alike.
For all his work Laurie was awarded an honorary LLD by Stellenbosch University and he was made an honorary fellow of Worcester College, his old Oxford college.
In his formal garb Laurie appeared stern an unrelenting but even on the Bench he showed that he had a good sense of humour, usually wryly expressed. He was serious about his work and his responsibilities and he did not spare himself in his approach. He worked very hard and expected others to do the same. He always wanted to get to the heart of a dispute and resolve it correctly, properly and fairly. He was stern with practitioners who did not show the same kind of diligence. He always listened carefully and was always courteous and polite to practitioners but did not suffer foolish arguments – or practitioners gladly.
Laurie was always prepared to mentor people that he thought had promise – especially the disadvantaged. He was much loved by those that he mentored. Not only did he share his knowledge and experience but they knew that he really cared about their progress and improvement. In a word, he was authentic. He was never insincere and he never was condescending.
Laurie loved good conversation, good company, good food and last, but definitely not least, he loved good wine. As a friend, you always felt that you could rely on him absolutely. He loved to fish and did so when he could and to exercise by walking while he was able.
To an outsider like me, who never attended PBHS but has had many opportunities to observe boys at the school and deal with products of the school in the professions and in business, Laurie seemed to me to be the embodiment of all the virtues and values that the school attempted to instil and still attempts to instil in the boys. He lived by at least two important principles. One was the principle of service. He would contribute what he could whenever he could. The other was no matter how intelligent you may be you still need to work hard. PBHS can be proud of him. I suspect, like I do, they will regard him as a great South African.
Finally, it must be said that despite all these achievements and accolades Laurie was always humble and never showed a trace of hubris.
Laurie married Denise du Toit and they had three children. He is survived by Denise the three children and five grandchildren.

DAVID NIXON OBITUARY
(1960 – School House)
It is always with sadness that we announce the passing of an Old Boy and this announcement of David Nixon’s passing on 5 May 2024 is no different.
David and his wife Anne moved to Perth in Western Australia sometime during the 1980’s. Soon after his arrival, he became involved in a small PBHS Old Boys group that was set up by some old boys who had already been in Perth for some time.
This group met occasionally, the last time being during the School’s centenary year (2001), when Headmaster Bill Schroder and his wife Cherry visited Perth as part of his world-wide travels to participate in all the celebratory functions.
The Perth function was held at the Nedlands Golf Club and in the photograph below, David Nixon is in the middle of the back row.
It is amazing that during the past 23 years of his life David had changed very little in appearance, unlike the rest of us in the photograph!
David was a professional Civil Engineer, apparently specialising in the mining discipline. He started out working for the now defunct Argyle Diamond Mine, famous for its supply of the very expensive pink diamonds.
His career moved through phases including project management for companies offering design and construction services for new mines, both in Australia and elsewhere in the world. David eventually entered the corporate world and at one stage was the CEO of a new Iron Ore Mining business in Western Australia. In his private life, he was known as a good golfer and an active member of his local golf club.
We unfortunately know very little about the circumstances of David’s passing, other than that he passed away, surrounded by his loving family.
He was described as “a husband, father and grandfather filled with warmth, kindness and love for his family”. His warmth and kindness were certainly evident in my professional dealings with David over the years. Rest in Peace, David!
