Hi All   I have also been requested to do the Native Ministersso here is the first   Obituary of John Stegman DLAKIYA   John Stegman DLAKIYA, born at Annshaw of Christian parents, was converted to God in early youth. He was educated at Healdtown and Lovedale. In 1889 he was accepted by the Conference, and subsequently laboured ain the Jonono's Kop, Durban, East London and Wesleyville Circuits. He was humble in spirit and earnest in his work. As a preacher he was clear and powerful, and God made him instrumental in saving many souls. We anticipated for him many years of great usefulness, but the Lord was plaesed to call him to his reward at an early age. He died on the 31st of May 1901, in the 12 year of his ministry.
