llan Hendrickse! “Oh yes, I knew him” or “I remember him, he was the man who went swimming on the beach for whites only.” According to the late Reverend Allan Hendrickse’s son, Peter Hendrickse, the abovementioned is a very common response that he gets from people. “They remember his swim at the ‘Whites Only’ beach in defiance of beach apartheid. I, however remember the family man, teacher, minister and politician. The loving husband who bought roses for his wife every Friday. He loved my mother - his friend, lover and confidante -unconditionally. She was his biggest supporter and defender,” said Peter Hendrickse from Cape Town. On this coming Monday, March 16th, it will be ten years since Reverend Allan Hendrickse passed-away. He is buried at Jubilee Park Cemetery in Uitenhage. “I miss him so much. Ten years is a long time without him. Allan was the love of my life. I was blessed with 48 happy, unforgettable married years with him,” said his wife, Terry Hendrickse, who last year moved to Cape Town. “As a person who defied beach apartheid, I would like to see Kings Beach renamed ‘Allan Hendrickse Beach’. The Special Branch threatened and followed me, but I was never afraid of them, because I believed in and supported the same struggle for freedom as Allan,” said Terry Hendrickse. As minister Rev. Allan Hendrickse followed in his father’s footsteps and in 1972 was inaugurated as Chairman of the United Congregational Churches in Southern Africa. According to Peter, his father served Dale Street and Uitenhage Congregational churches for 54 years, not once drawing a salary from his churches. He also served 12 to 15 outstations during this time. “We travelled over hills and down dales to Baviaanskloof despite the floods, through the night to Steytlerville from Upington, always for the same reason ‘because the people are waiting for communion’. “When doctors wanted to admit him to hospital, he told them he needed first to go and serve Communion and Baptism in Hankey. He died three days later at the Port Elizabeth Airport, on his way to hospital,” said Peter Hendrickse. The late Reverend Hendrickse will also be remembered as a high school science teacher who believed in education for liberation. He believed that a teacher needs to know the circumstances of his students. According to Peter, many forgot that his father started the first high school in Uitenhage for black students namely, Limekaya High School, at the request of community leaders.

GATVOL OF DEBT? He also was a delegate to the Malmesbury Convention, boycotter who became a member of the CRC, leader of the Labour Party, member and Minister of the Tri-cameral Parliament. He was an ANC Senator, who in 2004 was admitted as Grand Counsellor of the Order of the Baobab, in recognition of his contribution to the community and the struggle for freedom. A preacher of Black Consciousness, emphasising the importance of self-respect, self-worth, dignity and pride – Black and proud, Gods children. Prophet of Hope. He emphasised the importance of education, respect, hard work and good manners. Respect yourself, your family and all people, irrespective of race, colour, creed or station in life.
In Rev. Hendrickse’s last speech in the old Parliament on 20 December 1993 he said: “When I look back, I say it has been worthwhile. Despite all my inadequacies. As a person, despite the criticism, attacks and character assassinations. Today I am still what I am. And while God is God, I will remain what I am. I am here, because I believe in the freedom of man, the dignity of every person and his right to live as God wants him to live. Free at last! I am free at last.” Terry Hendrickse is currently writing a book “My life with Allan Hendrickse” and although a Capetonian now, she said she will always treasure happy memories of Uitenhage.
