Founders Day Parade at Mount Memory – May 2024
Remembrance Parade at Mount Memory – 11th November 2023
The Annual Remembrance Ceremony held at Mount Memory, the M.O.T.H National Memorial Wall, has once again emphasized both continued Moth commitment, and highlighted growing local, provincial, and national public interest, in the relevance and importance of such a ceremony.
Moth members, Shellhole supporters, Mothwa, other veteran organization affiliated members, and spectators, seemingly arrived en masse, many by bus, and some after a long 3 hour trip from Durban, with some attendees arriving from as far afield as the Orange Free State and Gauteng, for this year’s 11th November Remembrance Ceremony.
As Moth Johann du Plessis former Old Bill of the Order (Moth 95th), and Ceremony Padre on the day expressly noted, this was the largest turn out of Moth and attendees at this ceremony he could recall after many many years of attending. And given the location, being at the Champagne Sports Resort, at the pristine world heritage site of the Drakensberg Mountains, far from any large cities and towns.
The Ceremony keynote address presented by the then serving 2023 Old Bill of the Order Moth Brian Coward, and on behalf of the M.O.T.H National Executive was well received in stifling conditions, which is common for the area at this time of year, and completed with a 2 minute silence, with perfect timing, exactly 11am on the 11th November, bringing more meaning to the occasion.
The traditional March through the Resort “main foyer” was well received by hotel management, guests, and spectators alike, with many clapping and cheering on the formed ranks of Moth, Shellhole supporters, Mothwa, and affiliated veteran organizationspresent, all marching in unison.
No words expressed can once again thank the Champagne Sports Resort and their Management, who have supported this ceremony and Founders day ceremonies held in May, by supplying seating, shades, tables, lectern, tablecloths, bottled water, EMRS standby, but most importantly, the 5 star delicious lunch and desserts prepared at a significantly reduced affordable fee. Thank you. To the MOTH Museums & Memorials committee, who together plan, prep, organise, and provide support on the day, my heartfelt thanks indeed once again, task well executed.
By remembering their service and their sacrifice, we recognise the tradition of freedom they fought to preserve. They believed that their actions in the present would make a significant difference for the future, it is up to us however to ensure that their dream of peace is realised. On Remembrance Day, we acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of those who served our country, and accept our responsibility to work for the peace they fought hard to achieve. For Moth and all veterans that have since answered the sunset call. We will remember them.
Mount Memory 95th celebration Parade – 7th May 2022
The annual Mount Memory Remembrance Ceremony – 8th November 2020
This year’s Remembrance Ceremony held under clear blue African skies, little wind and a scorching 37 degree heatwave, was very well attended by spectators, visitors, Moth and Mothwa from Durban, KZN Mainline district, Midlands as well as Southern KZN dugouts, which included members of the Moth National Executive and Moth GHQ.
Moth National Chairman Tony Munnik laid the wreath laying on behalf of the Order with a number of wreaths being placed by and on behalf of Provinces, Districts, Shellholes and Warriors Gate.
The Champagne Sports Resort where the memorial is located, are to be commended for their support in providing seating, shading, Onsite medical backup, Water and of course the delectable after ceremony lunch and refreshments for the much sun-baked and parched members.
Without their management assistance, this ceremony would not have been a success, we the Moth members thank you sincerely.
Special thanks to the Moth Mt. Memory Ceremony planning team, Piper and Bugler who made it all come together, well done indeed.

We hope to see you all once again in May 2021 – Founders Day Ceremony at Mt. Memory.

Cross restored
(The Cross had not been visible for many years, as it had fallen down and needed to be restored)
Well the climb is over……am so proud of the chaps, MOTH Hildegaard Coetzee “Kalahari”, recruit
and soon to be MOTH Grant Gregan and, especially Mountain “Guru” Roger Mantel for completing
the gruelling climb to the top of Mt. Memory and repairing and mounting the M.O.T.H memory
cross. That very hard task was a combination of Vasbyt week condensed into 14 long agonising cold
and scary hours on top of one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world. (The Sterkhorn,
Mt. Memory, Drakensberg, KZN).
The dense mist at times prevented one from seeing your hand in front of your face, the pathways
are just little holes in the ground to follow and stumble over from long passed through hikers
footprints, the shear drops down the cliff faces would scare Lucifer himself and then, you still battle
to breathe the thin high altitude biting cold air into your tortured over worked lungs.
What started out as an 8 hour round trip took close on 14 hours!!! This is not a climb or hike for the
feint hearted. Horses needed to be called upon to ascend the mountain to carry my fellow Moths
down who had been totally broken, cut and scratched from the unending jarring and slipping
received on the Sterkhorn descent. These animals were truly a God send and amazing. Their strength
and endurance defies the odds pitted against such tall steep and treacherous passes and pathways.
And they did it mind you, in pitch darkness with no light or reflection all whilst carrying a person on
their backs!! Many thanks also to the two KZN Wildlife rangers who risked a lot to bring our lads
home safe. They didn’t shrug when called upon to assist but, willingly jumped in and took up the
task.
My climb down however went on a different steeper quicker path, it was more pain in my legs than I
have ever felt in my life or maybe it’s just old age creeping in? The 4 hours of constant slipping,
scraping and jolting took a huge toll on my knees and thighs. Three days after the ordeal and all of us
were still in limp and blister mode…..that is except for Roger Mantel our mountain “Guru” and
guide….this absolute gentleman who is much older than us three, is a mountain dominating machine
and unbreakable as a hiker goes…. we salute you Roger, you do us all proud!!
For all the sins I have committed and all the Hail Mary’s I cried out to the Sainted Mother and God in
pain upon that descent, I do hope the Angels where listening and took note. Maybe it will keep me
out of purgatory a little longer…..perhaps!!
I realised as I wondered alone ever downward in that dense mist in agony with no companionship
that, God places all of us in challenging situations every day and it is us and the human spirit that
strives to survive that determines the outcome of that challenge.
We will do it again of course, better prepared this time…….for the M.O.T.H. Order……..for our
comrades in arms and brothers who didn’t come home…………and…….… because it’s there!!!
Thanks to Moth Moekie who supplied the repair fittings and cables for us to carry up.
A heartfelt grateful thanks to MOTH Luddie Vos the Chairman of Warriors Gate and as such Mount
Memory inclusive for allowing us this unforgettable experience…..it was a challenge we would gladly
do again…..just let us get our legs back………
