TO ALL IN THE UPCSA,

Many of you remember Boet van Schalkwyk, a retired minister who, in recent years, has been doing amazing work in the Sailor’s Society – a mission to sailors. He was the minister at Saints and a past moderator of this presbytery.

It is with sadness that we share the news of the passing of a retired minister, the Rev JD “Boet” van Schalkwyk. He died yesterday in a car accident. We extend our sympathies to his wife Linda, their children and grandchildren.

Boet was a dynamic and dedicated servant of God who will be hugely missed.

He and Linda were resident within the bounds of the Presbytery of Thekwini.

Yours in Christ,

The Rev Dr George Marchinkowski
General Secretary
