Notes |
- Currently it is not known where nor with whom OSMOND trained as an architect. He registered as a member of the Institute of South African Architects and as a member of the Transvaal Provincial Institute of Architects in 1927; from 1930 he seems to have worked mainly in Port Elizabeth where his address from that date was c/o SIEMERINK, WALKER & LANE. He entered into partnership with CG LANE in East London in 1936 (cf. LANE & OSMOND), which later, when joined by Barry LANGE, became OSMOND LANGE of East London.
ISAA 1927. (ISAA mem list; ISAA ybks 1930-31, 1939-40)
The following is the obituary to OSMOND in The Daily Dispatch of East London 1985 06 19.
"Former mayor of EL dies
Dispatch Reporter
EAST LONDON - A former Mayor of East London and past president of the East London Chamber of Commerce, Mr Bokkie Osmond, has died here, aged 78.
A long-serving member of the city council, Mr Osmond was deputy mayor from 1957 to 1959 and served as mayor from 1959 to 1961.
He served two terms as president of the East London Chamber of Commerce and was a member of the executive committee of the Association of Chambers of Commerce (Assocom).
Mr Osmond also served on the Border Regional Development Association.
His service to the community also extended to swimming, and he was a past-president of the Border Amateur Swimming Association in the 1970s.
A highlight of his professional career came when he was conferred life membership of the South African Institute of Architects.
During World War II, Mr Osmond served in Egypt and Italy as an intelligence officer interpreting aerial photographs."
