Death Notice - Olaf Weyl (F90) - November 2020
It is with great sadness that SAIAB announces the passing of Professor Olaf Weyl on Saturday 14th November.
Doing what he loved best, Olaf was chasing fish in mountain streams looking for new trout genetics sampling sites. Olaf joined SAIAB in 2009 from the Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science at Rhodes University and wholeheartedly served the Institute, initially as a Senior Scientist and then as Chief Scientist. Testimony to his standing and pursuit of excellence in both inland fisheries and aquatic invasion biology, he was awarded the South African Research Chair in Inland Fisheries and Freshwater Ecology in 2017.
“Olaf was in so many ways a giant of a man with an intellect that could only be matched by his inordinate ability to love and nurture those around him” – Dr Angus Paterson, MD of SAIAB and close friend.

Death Notice - Rev George Martin - 2020
CONDOLENCES – Rev. GEORGE MARTIN
A Great schoolmaster and educationalist.
It is with a sense of real sadness and sorrow that the Peterhouse community received news of George Martin’s recent passing in the United Kingdom.
Long-time school master and servant of Peterhouse, Rev George Martin was both highly respected and regarded by all those with whom he came into contact. There were few areas, in the life of our school, that George did not touch or influence. Passionate teacher of languages, housemaster, and sports coach extraordinaire, mentor, Chaplain and avid outdoor educationalist he influenced, through his teaching and wise counsel, the lives of generations of Petreans. Starting his career at Peterhouse in the 1960’s his influence extended over the school for nearly five decades; such was his impact on the school. He was in the words of one of his pupils, “an inspirational and caring teacher, as well as a wonderful hockey coach and fearless Chimanimani expedition leader”. For many who knew George in his role at Peterhouse he will always be remembered for his love of cross country and real appreciation for the wild places of Africa.
Death Notice : Somkhosi 'Sam' Malaba - 30 July 2020
TRIBUTE TO SOMKHOSI ‘SAM’ MALABA
It is with a sense of real sadness and sorrow that the Peterhouse community received, following a long illness, the news of Somkhosi ‘Sam’ Malaba’s passing in Harare on Thursday 30 July.
Long-time champion and supporter of Peterhouse, Sam Malaba (Grinham 74) was highly regarded as a banker, having served as a former Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, and Chief Executive Officer of Agribank. Within the Peterhouse Group of Schools, Sam served as Chairman of the Peterhouse Finance Committee and was a longstanding member of the Executive Committee and the Board of Governors. His passion for the school was exemplified by the years he devoted to serving this community. As a knowledgeable and passionate rugby supporter, Sam was always willing to voice his views on the beauty of the game. In the words of Howard Blackett (Rector 2013 – 2019), “Sam was highly regarded by the Peterhouse community. His financial expertise was invaluable, not least given the challenges Zimbabwe faced over the years, but also in his unstinting support/commitment to Peterhouse”.
