Hendrik Verwoerd<\/a>, stated that “There is no place for [the Bantu] in the European community above the level of certain forms of labour … What is the use of teaching the Bantu child mathematics when it cannot use it in practice?”<\/p>\nMr Ackerman, President of the OD Union states in his book that this changed the course of his view on society. \u00a0You see the Apartheid government had singled out Education as one of the best ways to suppress the Black child.<\/p>\n
In 1983, John Peake arrived at Bishops from Eton, and was very energetic, he introduced the Black Scholarships, to accommodate deserving black Boys from South African townships who could not afford Bishops. As a result today we have the likes of Kk Mhlauli, Thobile Vumazonke, Luthando Matsaluka, Bulelani Calana, Arthur Mngxekeza and Unathi Diniso to name but a few, who\u00a0 play leading roles in society in various fields like Engineering, Manufacturing,\u00a0 Marketing and Petroleum. Kenneth Lukuko, one of the 1st group that arrived in 1984, leads the Project for the Building an Inclusive Society Programme\u2019s Community Healing Project at the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation.<\/p>\n
Hamilton Mvelase, arrived in 1988, and when he tragically passed away in 1991, – John Gardener, OD, and Principal at the time renamed the Black Scholarships in his honour and I was one of the first recipients of this scholarship.<\/p>\n
I was born in 1980, in Gugulethu to poor parents. My mother was a cleaner at the Nico Malan (now Artscape) \u00a0and my father a security guard. In 1992, I was invited to write a number of tests at a school in Rondebosch, where I would later be offered the\u00a0scholarship together with 3 others.\u00a0 Today I am an inspired individual, I serve as a member of the esteemed Bishops Council- my parents would have never dreamt of their last born son coming to an institution such as Bishops. \u00a0Bishops changed my life, and I know that through the Hamilton Mvelase Bursary Fund, we can continue to change the lives of South Africa\u2019s children and create capable leaders we can be proud of.<\/p>\n
