Reports of racism have surfaced at Hellenic Academy, a top school in Harare, Zimbabwe with parents suggesting the abuse was targeted at African learners and staff members.
The parents told NewsDay that as a result, one of the “racist” teachers had since been disciplined after using derogatory words in reference to African students and staff members.
It is reported that in another incident, four European students allegedly attacked a male African pupil and broke his arm last month, prompting the victim to arm himself with a knife to defend himself.
The learner was, however, suspended for the incident, while his assailants walked scot-free leading to protests by other students at a sports day event recently. Speaking on the matter, school head Suzanne Joscelyne said:
<blockquote>_The incident was not even a big issue because it ended there. No one even reported that, but it only became an issue when the student sent an audio on social media threatening the others. He also posted a video of a knife he wanted to use to attack the others._
_He was put on a plaster and told by his doctors to stay home until he recovers. On Thursday, he came to school and took the knife out of his pocket. Prefects had to intervene and the issue was not about the initial fight, but somebody making a threatening message. He was not even suspended initially. We just said he needed some time out._</blockquote>

Suzanne Joscelyne told NewsDay that the academy does not take issues of racism lightly and was engaging stakeholders to deal with all suspected cases.
She added that a stiff penalty had been imposed on the elderly teacher, who was also ordered to apologise to the affected student.

Racism Reports Surface At Another Top Zimbabwe School

The black student’s movements have gained popularity lately with former students exposing racism at various local private schools.
The movements were triggered by social media posts by one of Peterhouse Girls former students Nakiso Gwatidzo who alleged that racial prejudices at the institution were reminiscent of the colonial era.
Posting on social media pages designed to speak against segregation, a Lomagundi College former student said in 2008, the institution segregated students based on race. Wrote the former student:
<blockquote>If one then compared Ordinary and Advanced Level results, you would notice that a lot of kids in the B stream would excel and do better than A-streamers.
For example, the head girl in my year got four points but she had been in the A stream, then I got 10 points, but I was a B-streamer.
We did the same subjects at Advanced Level by the way.</blockquote>
The report was corroborated by another student who said racism at Lomagundi College was also shockingly practised by black teachers against black students. The student wrote:
<blockquote>He (the black teacher) only opened the gym to white boys and girls but never to black pupils. Racism can even come from your own race.</blockquote>
Meanwhile, school principal, Mr Dean Seeliger recently Lomagundi was “a multi-racial school with a mixed board, staff and pupils.

Fresh Reports Of Racism In Private Schools: Former Students Speak Out 

<blockquote>OPEN LETTER TO THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS AND THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HELLENIC ACADEMY, ZIMBABWE FOLLOWING THE CANCELLATION OF RACISM DEBATES
The murder of George Floyd at the hands of the police in the USA has dominated headlines around the world.
Not only was it horrific to see a man’s life taken away so cruelly, but it has also since sparked long-needed discussions and debates about continuing systemic racism in society.
Black people are being discriminated against, mistreated and even murdered merely because they are black, leading to worldwide protests demanding systemic change, and an end to police brutality and institutional racism.
This may seem a world away from the Academy, sheltered in Zimbabwe, but this is an important period of global social awakening and is a period we cannot allow to pass us by without learning important lessons.
Last week, I was invited by fellow Academy alumni to sit on a multi-racial panel of former Academy students, discussing the issue of racism with Upper 6 students at the Academy.
Our intention was to use our post-Hellenic experiences to help educate our young adults about the intricacies and effect of racism before they leave to go out into the world.
The panel firmly believes that we, as young adults, have an incredibly important role in re-shaping society and really making a difference.
We have the ability to address and dismantle the ever-present racial divide and racial issues that are so clearly present around the world.
There is no better time to speak out and to use our various platforms to incite the change we so desperately need in the world today.
As is common knowledge, Hellenic Academy is a school almost exclusively comprised of white, middle-to-upper class students, hailing from privileged backgrounds (myself included) within a country made up of 99% black Africans.
It was therefore to our great dismay and shock when we were informed that the administrative leadership of Hellenic Academy had cancelled these scheduled panel discussions, over concerns about their timing and the potential ‘backlash’ such talks may result in.
The fact that many hours were put into preparation for these talks notwithstanding, I find it extremely disappointing and morally incorrect that the Academy would take to stifling the voices of young people (of different races) who are attempting to help free the Academy and the world of racism.
These discussions were never intended to be a soapbox from which to bash the Academy, nor be a blame game or a “black vs white shouting match,” but rather a fact-based and driven discussion, with a chance for informative debates from young adults who have chosen to take a stand.
Personally, I hoped to use this platform to try to educate fellow young, white people on how we can use our positions of privilege in society to effect change.
I had also planned to discuss in-depth how vital it is that white young adults in particular, who are entering the “real world” understand how to address and tackle racism in their social circles.
Further, to impress the importance of self-education on the topic of white privilege, and what it means to be an ally to black people who suffer from express or implied racism on a daily basis.
In my opinion, that cancellation of these discussions is a huge missed opportunity by the Hellenic Academy to make a stand for a better future.
The students will surely be worse-off as a result. As a school, it is your duty to provide students with the resources needed to educate themselves, not just academically through traditional teaching methods, but socially educate them as well, utilising a range of sources, including willing alumni keen to see their school flourish.
Modern education is no longer just about teaching students how to pass exams, but rather should be focused at producing well-rounded you people who are ready and capable to make a difference in society.
The Academy has a duty to ensure this, regardless of whatever perceived “backlash” it believes it may face.
Paramount to anything else in this world, we are all humans.
During my time at the Academy, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I was always taught that we should go out into the world and be kind, loving people who are ambassadors to our families, our school and our country.
This is me attempting to do that now, I hope that the Academy will recognise and understand that.
Finally, I want to plead with and urge the Board of Governors and the Hellenic Academy leadership to allow our discussions to go ahead and to make them available to ALL STUDENTS and to any incoming students, rather than the few students we were initially speaking with.
Please help us to be the people you have always wanted us to be!
We eagerly await your response.
