Emotions might play a role in considering a contribution, and clear reason might also influence one&#8217;s decision in supporting a pupil going to an elite private school. This week we caught up with Arthur Mngxekeza who was awarded a Hamilton Mvelase Scholarship at the end of 1992.<\/p>\n<p>Arthur gave up a corporate career in telecommunications in Johannesburg, when he had to consider an education for his son, and in his mind the best option was Bishops. Arthur is currently:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A consultant on diversity and transformation in the educational sector<\/li>\n<li>Head of the Social Advancement Subcommittee on the OD Committee<\/li>\n<li>The Executive Chairman of Kwasebuncinaneni Bam Education Centre<\/li>\n<li>Head of the Outreach portfolio on the Bishops Prep Parent&#8217;s Association<\/li>\n<li>A member of the Herschel Girls&#8217; School Diversity and Transformation focus group<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Arthur is dedicating his time to early childhood development in local communities, distributing second-hand goods from Bishops to underprivileged communities, delivering Prep sandwiches to Athwood Primary in Hanover Park and helping ODs and parents adjusting to Bishops.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Arthur&#8217;s zeal for Bishops education and development of others is truly impacting society around him. This impact has, and forever will exceed the value of the investment in a Bishops education.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what the impact of a Bishops education had on his life he said the following words came to mind<em>, \u201cManners; Integrity, Creating something from nothing; Repudiating all perceived injustices and Brotherhood.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p>These are certainly the values and attributes of a Bishops Boy.
