History Baptist families were among a group of some 4500 British emigrants that left England for South Africa in 1820. Upon their arrival in South Africa, William Miller 1779 1856 was appointed their religious leader. It was through his founding work that the first Baptist chapel was built in Grahamstown, South Africa Grahamstown in 1823. The first ordained Baptist preacher to travel to South Africa was William Davies, who was sent by the Baptist Missionary Society in England. He arrived in 1832 and ministered in Grahamstown for a short period. Work in Kariega, about 16 miles from Grahamstown, began in 1834. A German settlement around 1860 brought the first German Baptist work led by Carsten Langheim. A German pastor, Carl H. Gutsche, baptized J. D. Odendall, who founded the first Dutch speaking Baptist church in South Africa in 1886. The Baptist Union was founded in 1877 by four English speaking churches and one German speaking church.

The SouthernAfrica mangroves are an ecoregion of mangrove swamps in rivers and estuaries on the eastern coast of South Africa . Location and description These mangroves grow in the mouths of rivers on the Indian Ocean coast of South Africa, where the sea is warmed by the Mozambique Current , in many cases they are further sheltered from the ocean by sandbank s. The largest areas are in the estuaries of the Mhlathuze River Mhlathuze and St Lucia River s and mangroves can be found as far south as the Nahoon River , the most southerly occurrence of mangroves in Africa and therefore an important ecoregion. ref http www.unep wcmc.org resources publications ss1 WCMCMangrovesv11 1.pdf ref Flora Empty section date July 2010 Fauna The mangroves are an important habitat for sea life, birds and animals such as turtles and crocodile s. Sea life includes fiddler crabs , mud crab Scylla serrata , mudskipper s, Periophthalmus kalolo and many species of sea snails and sea slugs. Resident species of birds including the endangered Mangrove kingfisher Halcyon senegaloides . The mangroves are also visited by large numbers of migratory bird species. Fish also use this for mating grounds. Threats and preservation Many areas of mangrove in southernAfrica have been cleared for timber, urban and industrial development, including tourist facilities, and this is ongoing. Further damage to habitats is caused by pollution of rivers, while forest clearance inland causes rivers to bring down larger quantities of soils and the rivers and estuaries to be blocked. Protected areas include Beachwood Mangroves Nature Reserve near Durban and iSimangaliso Wetland Park formerly Greater St Lucia Wetland Park .
