Fr Ted Rogers, a famous Jesuit who has worked in Rhodesia and Zimbabwe for the past 51 years, will return soon to Britain. During a recent visit to South Africa to finalise publication of his memoirs, the 86-year-old suffered heart failure and a major lung problem. His doctors have said that he needs to live at a lower altitude than is possible in Zimbabwe with oxygen support for 16 hours a day. His superiors have arranged for him to move to Britain where he will be closer to his family. Fr Rogers said: “After 51 years in Rhodesia and Zimbabwe I have left with three pairs of trousers, five shirts, two pairs of shoes, a four-year-old laptop and a camera. I am not just resigned, but peaceful and happy.”
