My Covenant The Honorary Jew Geoffrey Modise Menachem Ramokgadi Written by Suzanne Belling This is a tale of a truly extraordinary life of a struggle, achievement and love of people of honorary Jew Geoff Ramokgadi. He has been the champion of the Jewish people, all his life. Born into a poor family in the town of Rustenburg, South Africa, Geoff Ramokgadi left school at the age of 13 to embark on a music career, gaining a national reputation as a lead singer in the first multi-racial band at the height of the apartheid regime. He showed extraordinary talent as a vocalist and musician and played with many international musicians and singers. He was also a creative and talented window dresser and designer. Though leaving school early, Geoff made a covenant with his grandmother and his Creator that one day he would make a contribution to education. Music and love led him into Swaziland, where he married the regal (and royal) Dudu, settling in Mbabane, where he put his design and business talents to good use, from royal palaces to construction. It was Geoff's vocation that called him into unusual territory, two different areas in which he has made a significant mark. He established a private school in Swaziland; and his beliefs moved him towards Judaism. His leadership towards the Jewish community as chairman of the Swaziland Jewish community and as a vice-president of the African Jewish Congress led him to travel the world for meetings of the World Jewish Congress. His entrepreneurial qualities led to the founding of the renowned Kobe-Ramokgadi High School in Ezulwini, while his integrity, drive and personality made him a sought-after delegate to meetings on an international scale. He is widely-known beyond his leadership and drive in making significant contributions to Swaziland and the Jewish world. He has earned respect and affection in every area of his life and endeavours, Now, for the first time, his full and fascinating story is told.
