TIGER KLOOF SCHOOL SONG - The life of the writer, Reverend Steve de Gruchy -South African theologian, author and activist, Reverend de Gruchy wrote the school song many years ago. We still sing it at all important school events. He unfortunately died in a freak accident in 2010. And so his legacy lives on in song… Reverend de Gruchy drowned on the 21st of February 2010 while river tubing with his son in the Natal Midlands near the Drakensburg Mountains. He was 48.
