CORE VALUES
Integrity
Rather than working on buildings like the masons of old, today’s Freemasons focus on building themselves as people of integrity, and membership provides the structure to help achieve that goal.
Exsequi Lodge No. 8994
Respect
With a membership of more than 3,000,000 people drawn from communities across the World, Freemasonry brings people together irrespective of their race, religion or any other perceived differences that can divide us as a society.
Charity Work
Donations of approx. R26 million have been made to Charities by the District of South Africa, North and its Lodges over the past 21 years.
Charity is one of the important facets of Freemasonry and whilst Freemasonry is not a benevolent society, it actively practices charity and our members are expected to care for those in Society who are in need and less fortunate that themselves, whether they be Freemasons or not.
Each of our over 100 Lodges in the District raises money mainly from its own members for charitable purposes, in a variety of fundraising events. These charity monies are then either disbursed directly by the Lodge concerned to a Charity of their choice, or handed over to the District to be disbursed to a nominated Charity
Donations are directed to both Non-Masonic and Masonic Charities.
Charity
Kindness and charitable giving are deeply ingrained within the principles of Freemasonry. The organisation provides a support structure that helps members make positive contributions to communities and worthwhile causes through fundraising events or volunteer work.
Friendship
One of the oldest social organisations in the world, Freemasonry is not defined by an ideology. It is open to people from all religions and political persuasions and provides the common foundation for friendships between members, many of which will last for life.

What is it?
Essentially, Freemasonry is a happy association of friends which provides an interest, a discipline for life, making lots of new friends and acquaintances, which can lead to many social activities for both the members and their families.
It has a long history of charitable support for the less fortunate. All this combined with a fascinating history going back to “time immemorial“
For most, however, it is an enjoyable hobby, but it has to be stated that this hobby holds something very special and not easily put into words. but is surely felt by all who have joined!
