Where can I join Freemasons in South Africa

In SOUTH AFRICA, you may look in the telephone book for the phone number of a Masonic lodge near you, however, it is highly probable no one will be there to answer your call because lodges usually only meet twice a month, during a week day, in the evening. If you find a man who has a bumper sticker that says: 2B1Ask1, you may ask him to provide you a petition. He probably won’t have a petition for Masonic admission with him, but if you give him your name and phone number, he will contact a member of his lodge, who will contact you. However, the easiest way to begin the process to become a Free Mason is to contact your state or country’s Grand Lodge. You may call them or fill out their website form and request that they have someone contact you. Then what happens?

Arrangements will be made to meet you, personally, to discuss Freemasonry. A committee of members from your local lodge, which are called the Investigative Committee, will contact you to arrange a meeting. They will answer any questions you may have. If the meeting is mutually satisfactory; you will be asked if you wish to fill out a petition form. The Investigative Committee performs inquiries of others as to your character. In the United States, this may take a few weeks. In most other countries around the world, this thorough investigative process may take up to 2 years. Your request for membership will be balloted upon by the lodge’s members. You will be advised of the date of your admission.
