The Avonford Secondary is part of a line up including Betty Govinden and Pregs Govender for a memorial dedicated to Ronnie Govender. He passed away on the 29th of April 2021 at the age of 86. He is best known for his 1970s play "Lahnee's Pleasure" and his collection of short stories "At the Edge and Other Cato Manor Stories".
