Good evening. Richard I remember the 70's in Eersterust when you performed with the Eersterust Band "The Miracles" It was fun. I was at the time playing with a local band "The Inviters" We were not well know but we kept Eersterust alive whiles The Miracle went on tour with yourselves. Please visit Eersterust. Your blessings will be appreciated.
In 1974 I saw you perform in Durban at the city hall with Jonathan Butler, Lionel Petersen and the late Ronnie Joyce. That show was forever etched in my mind . My brothers and I formed a band a year later and I played the bass guitar for a couple of years before the band broke up . I often wondered what would have happened if my elder brothers pursued with music.
Dear Cross Rhythms
What I really don't understand is that some newspapers in SA did refer to the sudden/shocking passed away of RJS already in2011, whereas this Christian Media still refers to him as alive in 2018 !!
So please somebody .......would you please explain to me what is going currently on with RJS and if he is still alive now at the moment ?? Somewhere something is not right and therefore I am looking for a correct answer !! Your column are doing great work and are much appreciated !!
Thanking you so much for assisting. Anybody out there?
Hi Brother Richard
I met you at Walter Briwn's funeral in Cape Town and would like to know when are you coming again to South Africa because we would like to invite you to Namibia Windhoek for a gospel breakfast and an evening Gospel Show.

Hi Richard,
You may not remember me from back in 1973, but we did Le Matelot night club in Salisbury together. I was singer/compere. We also did a few other gigs together for Bob Bardolia, the Indian millionaire who owned Le Matelot and Queens hotel in Salisbury. I have fond memories of my time hanging out with you.
After many years as teacher, preacher and academic, I am able to get back to my musical roots of the 60s and 70s, which is now my hobby. I do about 4 concerts a year, which I use as an outreach in non-Christian venues. I also sing traditional and contemporary gospel in my concerts. Just recorded my second Christian CD: Songs for the Heart and Soul.
I left South Africa in 1979, and have travelled a lot over the years. I became a Christian in 1977 in Johannesburg. I now live in Hungary. I am a semi-retired English university professor. I am also an ordained minister of the Presbyterian church and am very much involved in missionary work among university students here in Hungary, Romania and Ukraine. I am a grandfather of 5, and next month I will turn 70. I was 25 when we sang together in Rhodesia. Thank God I am in good shape, physically, mentally and spiritually, and my voice is still strong. I can send you a few YouTube links of audio clips of some of my concerts if you like.
I visit my brother in Cape Town every now and then, and I always talk about you when I go there. He and I played in bands together in Ireland back in the 60s. My wife and I will go back to Cape town again early next year. Not sure where you are living now, but perhaps one day we can meet up again. I would really love that.
I hope you are well.
God's rich blessings to you and your family

Hi Richard
Your earlier recordings were masterpieces. Where can l get them? I can't find them anywhere in the country.
I also want to buy your gospel album. Is it selling in South Africa?
Good luck with your music career.
I used to listen to RJS many many years after he left our country, and how did I do this?
I'd play around with my phone and downloaded "tubemate" from Google Search, not Play Store. It's on this side I got through to RJS songs, and they also show videos, but not of him. All MP3 format.
I hope this was of help.
Thankyou.
