André Schalkwyk Death, Obituary – All of the family members, students, and staff members at Eshowe High School are in an extremely sad situation as a direct result of the demise of Mr. André van Schalkwyk, who had previously served as principal of the school. Mr. van Schalkwyk has been working at the school for a considerable amount of time. André, a well-known administrator, started working at Eshowe High School in 1993 and remained there until the year 2016, when he retired. He worked there from the beginning of his career until the year he left. 1973 was the year when he first entered the field of teaching.
Between the years 1993 and 2016, he called that place his home during the entirety of that period of time. In addition to the School in which the children of the Eshowe hamlet were educated, he devoted a significant portion of his life to assisting the people who lived in the Eshowe hamlet. He was the epitome of what it means to be a true leader, an amazing mentor, and a guy who others could look up to and aspire to be like. The devastating information regarding André’s passing came as a total and absolute shock, and when we were made aware of it, it ripped our hearts apart into a million different pieces. Everyone here has been struck by a terrible accident, and as a direct consequence of this, we have all become victims.
During this trying time, our most sincere condolences go out to Alison, Craig, and Cameron, as well as the rest of Alison, Craig, and Cameron’s family members. From each and every one of us here at the School, our deepest condolences go out to the family of the deceased. Everyone who is reading this is aware that each and every one of them is currently being prayed for and thought about by our community. The petals of yet another beautiful flower have just begun to open up within the domain of God.
