Elder Ndlovu passes on his Father's Tie to Elder Ngbeni

There is a special tradition in the Cape Town mission.  An Elder who is a trainer passes on the tie that he received from the missionary that trained him to the missionary that he has trained.  Elder Ndlovu is being transferred to Cape Town so he takes this opportunity to pass on his tie to Elder Ngobeni.  The Elders refer to the training Elder as the Father and the Elder being trained as his Son.

Here Elder Ndlovu (The Father) passes on his tie to Elder Ngobeni (The Son).  There was a small piece of paper that was carried in the “pouch” at the bottom of the tie that tells the genealogical history of the Elders who passed this tie down. Those generations of Elders are shown in the lower left picture.
