Erich Rautenbach CTHS Scholarship
Donation protected
The funds raised by this campaign will be matched by the family to create a bursary to be awarded each year to a student at Cape Town High School who shows great promise as a writer, whether it be prose, poetry, lyrics, or tracts of rebellion.
This bursary is in honour of Erich Rautenbach, author of The Unexploded Boer, who attended CTHS as a youth (well..sometimes attended when he wasn't sneaking off to Squeaky's Shebeen over in District 6).
Erich died April 18th in Vancouver after an extremely aggressive leukemia relapse, but not before he made a whirlwind trip back to the Mother City to say goodbye to the streets, beaches and mountains of Cape Town.
He will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
He is "finish an' klaa' my bra" but will never be forgotten.
