Recently I visited the smallest church in the world. This unimposing little building is in van Reenen’s Pass between Harrismith and Ladysmith. The structure was built as a memorial by a father for his lost son, Llandaff Mathew who died while rescuing 8 miners in a mining accident in 1925. There are only 8 seats, representative of these miners. It is in active use to the wider van Reenen community and is a National monument.

I make a point of taking all clients who tour up that way to the church and without fail they are all astounded.
