Following a curacy at St Faith's Mission, Durban[4] he was its priest in charge from 1952 to 1960 when he became a suffragan bishop of Diocese of St John's (called Assistant Bishop of St John's).[5] Promotion to be the ninth bishop of Zululand[6] then followed. From 1978 until his death in 1987, he was Speaker of the KwaZulu Legislative Assembly.
