The IFP is deeply saddened by the passing of Rev. Bekizipho Khulekani “BK” Dludla, who was called to rest in the early hours of today aged 99.
Cebisa was a devoted spiritual leader and community pillar in his long life of service and faith. Rev. Dludla touched countless lives through his faith, wisdom, and service.
Rev Dludla was ordained as a minister in 1955. He was a central figure in the formation and constitution of the United Congregational Church of Southern Africa (UCCSA) in 1967, and became the first president of the Soldiers of Christ Movement.
He was a firm believer of education and he served diligently as the Chair of Inanda Seminary form 1965 to 1981.
We remember fondly the deep bonds of lifelong friendship and brotherhood between Rev BK Dludla and Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, and their stellar contributions as freedom fighters pursuing South Africa’s freedom and democracy.
The IFP extends its heartfelt condolences to the Dludla family, friends, and the UCCSA on the loss of a great man of faith, prayer warrior and dedicated servant of the People.
May his soul rest in eternal peace, and his legacy of compassion continue to inspire us all.
