For my birthday this coming Sunday 🎂, this year, my mission is clear and simple, to play a part in straighten my home city.

Lawson Brown High School was blessed to have had such a leader serving under the institution, I was super blessed to have been taught (isiXhosa), mentored and led by such an honourable leader.

We looked up to Mr Kati as a father figure, especially us students that were growing up in homes without a father figure. This gentleman steered me and many other kids in the right direction when we where out of line, he would often remind us, specifically us kids that came from elokishini that we should appreciate the sacrifices our parents made for us to make sure we had access to such a school that promised us a better future.

He was one of a kind, and a rare character that changed my attitude and approach to things in general as a boy teenager. The level of appreciation that I have for culture and isiXhosa today, was partly influenced by the passion and energy he delivered Xhosa lectures to us as young students that didn't know much about our culture.

In August 2004, I was amongst 10 matric students that where implicated in a childish behaviour incident that led to 8 of the matric students being expelled from school. Mr Kati fought to prove my innocence and friend's innocence, cause he specially knew what the consequences of being expelled would have had impacted my life negatively. That was truly a Godly influenced moment and an act of generosity that I will forever be grateful for from Mr Kati.

Rest in POWER Mtshilibe, Mdumane, Bhanqo ❤️‍🩹
Until we meet again Nkokheli ✊🏿

It is with great sadness that the Lawson Brown family announces that Mr Ronald Kati passed away this afternoon after a courageous fight.

Mr Kati was born in Port Elizabeth and responded to his calling by being trained as an educator at Vista University in his hometown. He began his teaching career at Lawson Brown High School in June of 1997. Ms Glynnis Ruiters started at Lawson Brown High School in January of the same year and has this to say of her dear colleague and friend:

“I don’t think that I will find a friend and colleague like that again. He could make us laugh in that staffroom during breaks! He was humble. He was very caring and always had the learners’ best interest at heart. I don’t think Lawson will ever be the same without Mr Kati.”

Mr Kati was a remarkable isiXhosa teacher, loved by all he taught, Grade Head and Head of Department. The isiXhosa department delivered a 100% pass rate under the guidance of Mr Kati. His fellow isiXhosa teachers remember him fondly:

“You brought the power of your presence and your compassion, which has always made you an essential part of our department. Now you are gone. Lala ngokuthula Mr Kati. Sohlala sikukhumbula.”

Thank you, Mr Kati, for 27 years of dedication, compassion and guidance. Your mentorship and passion were exemplary. You will be sorely missed and always in our memories. Lala kakuhle.
