PERSONAL HISTORY Angela Taylor 2001 Cape Town.

Daughter of Ronnie and Kath Herbert, born Mater Dei Hospital, East London, South Africa.

Grew up in Rhodesia, attending the Dominican Convent, Salisbury. I remember happy days of sunshine and close family ties until the age of 10 when we left No. 3 Cambridge Ave. , Highlands (now owned by the Dobsons) to live at 36 Abbey Rd., West Kirby in Cheshire.

In England, I attended Upton Hall Convent and was taught by the Faithful Companions of Jesus - an order of nuns from France.

We were glad to return to Africa, this time Cape Town, in 1963. We lived in Capri Rd, St James and I went to School at the Star of the Sea Convent matriculating as a boarder and prefect after my parents went to live in Zambia in 1966.

I attended Natal Technical College for 3 years and attained a 1st Class Diploma in Fashion after which I lived in London, returning because of my mother's illness. I worked for CAPAB. Devastated by her death in 1972, I went to work in Rhodesia during the war. I met Robin Ford in 1973. At 24 years of age, he was the youngest major in the army. Our son was born in 1976 at the Mater Dei Hospital, Bulawayo and named after Robin's best friend, Michael Ainslie, who had been killed in the war that year. We had a daughter, Felicity, born at St Thomas' Hospital, London in 1985 and a second son, Berkeley, born at the Avenues Clinic, Harare, Zimbabwe in 1990. This completed the family.

I divorced Robin in 2000 having changed my surname to Taylor by deed poll in 1997. Whilst living in London (1980-1985) I worked as a merchandise manager for Puma and travelled on business to USA, Europe and Far East, whilst juggling career, parenting and household.

From London, Harare became our home. During the 13 years we lived there my beloved Father died in the Mater Dei Hospital, East London. Life became very difficult from 1996 onwards and we finally were forced to abandon Zimbabwe and take refuge in Cape Town in 1998, supported by my two brothers Pad and Steve.

Ainslie Ford 7th November 1976 born Mater Dei Hospital, Bulawayo. Attended Hill House School, London until age of 11 years and thereafter, Hartman House and St George's in Harare attaining 6 A levels in 1994.
