We are deeply saddened to share the passing of our alumnus, Ashley Jonathan Rainsford, Class of 2003, who passed away on Saturday, 29 August 2026, at the age of 42.

Following a car accident in 2021, Ashley faced a long and difficult journey with remarkable courage and strength. He will be remembered as a true fighter and a valued member of our alumni community.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Ashley’s family, friends and all those who knew and loved him during this difficult time.

May his soul rest in peace. ✝️

Alumni Spotlight; Tiago Ferreira De Araujo 🏃🙌🏆

For Tiago Ferreira De Araujo, the standard was set at St Benedict’s.

Since matriculating in 2019, Tiago has pushed himself across endurance sport, academics and business. Between November 2025 and June 2026, he completed South Africa’s Triple Crown of ultra-endurance racing, taking on the Ultra-Trail Cape Town PT55, IRONMAN 140.6 Nelson Mandela Bay and the 99th Comrades Marathon.

Alongside his sporting achievements, Tiago holds a BSc in Computer Science, is pursuing his MBA through MANCOSA and serves as Operations Director at G-Tech Steel.

Reflecting on his time at St Benedict’s, Tiago says the Magna Cum Laude blazers taught him that achievement was not simply about talent, but about “the willingness to go further than was asked, consistently, when nobody was checking.”

That standard has stayed with him long after matric, shaping the way he approaches every challenge.

A look back at St Benedict’s College in 1986 and a memorable production that brought our boys to the stage. 🎭

That year, the boys performed Antshillvania, a modern interpretation of the Biblical story of the Prodigal Son, interwoven with the parable of the Sower. The production combined drama, music and Scripture, bringing the Christian message to life through the talents and creativity of our boys.

These photographs offer a glimpse into the boys who took part in the production and the memories they created on stage.

Alumni Spotlight: Letlotlo-La-Bakuena 🎤

Letlotlo-La-Bakuena, better known as 9umba, from the Class of 2020, recently brought his plaque and SAMA Award to the Bibliobox to inspire the next generation of Bennies boys with a passion for music.

It was a wonderful opportunity for our boys who are musically inclined or interested in the music industry to see what is possible through passion, dedication and hard work. We are incredibly proud to see our alumni returning to Bennies to share their journeys and inspire those who follow in their footsteps.

Congratulations to Tsaone Modiroa, Class of 2020, on graduating with his second degree, an LLB from the University of Pretoria.

His achievement reflects the hard work, commitment, and determination he has shown throughout his journey.

We are incredibly proud of all that Tsaone has achieved and wish him every success as he begins this exciting new chapter. 🙌🥂
