		+	This stalwart of the performing arts passed away in 2006, but since the inception of The [[Anthony Farmer Trust]], his legacy continues. In 2016 [[Oakfields College]] was granted the right to use the [[Anthony Farmer Trust]] as a bursary programme for underprivileged students wishing to enter the performing arts field. With this news, the Pretoria Campus of Oakfields College renamed their library in his honour.
