I recall a school friend at Selborne College East London,
named Ben Decker. we matriculated in 1957. Since then Ben has become quite a legend in the area of the Transkei, Port St Johns, lives a great life of a “Hippie”, and is very well known.
The photo of Steve Hayses on this webpage looks exactly like
Ben Decker!
Take care

Clyde,
I’m not aware of any relationship with Ben Decker, though our Deckers were also from the Eastern Cape.
