Details

Deane Yates is a British teacher who pioneered non-racial-based education in Africa. He was born in the United Kingdom in 1922. After serving in the Second World War, he read Latin and Greek at Oxford University. He taught at Mill Hill in London and, at that time, still thought that he might become a priest. Through his contact with the Community of the Resurrection, he came to know Father Trevor Huddleston, who was later to become famous in South Africa for his resistance to apartheid and forced removals. As a result of these interactions, Yates and his wife, Dot, were encouraged to go to South Africa in 1956, where he became the Headmaster of St. John's College in Johannesburg.
