THE UNITED GRAND LODGE OF ANTIENT FREEMASONS OF ENGLAND
DISTRICT OF SOUTH AFRICA, NORTH
Our History Exsequi Lodge in South Africa
The Lodge was formed to provide a Masonic home for business managers, in
particular members of the South African Institute of Management. While
membership of that Institute was a condition of Founder membership it is no
longer a pre-requisite for becoming a member of the Lodge. However being a
manager, in the broadest sense of the word, is, and if that sounds snobbish it
is not meant to be. The philosophy is that all members should have something in
common to talk to each other about.

Charity
From its earliest days, Freemasonry has been concerned with the care of orphans, the sick and the aged. This work continues today. In addition, large sums are given to national and local charities.

The Lodge is a dining Lodge and while meeting at Park Lane the members dine in a private dining room at the Rand Club. Exsequi meets only six times a year as it was felt when it was formed that many of the founders were already members of existing lodges and the additional cost of belonging to another lodge, especially a dining one, would be prohibitive if it met every month. However, monthly lunches are held in order to keep the members in touch and to provide the opportunity to meet prospective candidates. Because of its semi-specialised character, the members attach particular importance to being satisfied that new entrants will be happy in the company of members of the Lodge.
Lunches are held on the first Friday of each month at the Inanda Club in Johannesburg where members meet guests in an informal setting. This is very much one of our very well attended social occasion highlights, as prospective candidates are able to discuss the Lodge and
Freemasonry in general with the members.
