• Inkamana Abbey has grown into a major monastic and educational centre where Priests and Brothers from South Africa and overseas work and pray together.
• 
  Supported by the Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing and Twasana we run a fully established High- and Boarding School for boys and girls.
• We also exercise an apostolate for guests who wish to share the prayer and community life of the monks.
• Following an ancient Benedictine tradition we have
  • a variety of workshops,
    • electrical,
    • plumbing,
    • 
      carpentry,
    • car mechanic,
  • as well as a maize and dairy farm and
