Boarding houses

The boys are organised into four hostels which are also their houses, namely:

Kamungu

Named after Leonard Mattiya Kamungu, an Anglican Priest from Malawi who had served as a curate mostly in Nkhotakota and the surrounding region of central Malawi and was ordained a priest in 1909. Kamungu engaged the services of teachers from Malawi and he built a network of schools and utilized the teachers’ services extensively. Kamungu died in 1913, possibly poisoned by his cook.[10] Kamungu Hostel was completed in 1960 and was the first hostel to be completed and by the time the school first opened its doors it housed the first batch of 70 boys to attend form 1 at Bernard Mizeki College. The hostel currently houses the College Captain and his Vice and has a common room for resident student’s entertainment

Molele

Modumedi Moleli was a Methodist preacher stationed at Chief Nenguwo’s area near Marondera with Isaac Shimmin. Moleli and Bernard Mizeki had been close friends. Moleli was later killed a few days after Bernard Mizeki in June 1896. Molele Hostel was constructed in honour of Modumedi Moleli in 1961 and completed in the same year. The hostel also has a common room for resident students’ entertainment

Kapuya

Named after John Kapuya the first Shona convert to be baptised was one of Bernard’s young men, John Kapuya, baptised exactly a month after Bernard’s death, on 18 July 1896.John Kapuya was sent to Natal for training and worked many years as a catechist and teacher in Mashonaland.[11] Upon his death he was buried at the Bernard Mizeki Shrine. Kapuya Hostel was completed in 1975 financed with a grant from the Beit Trust. The hostel currently houses the Form One (Grade 8) students. The Hostel is also attached to its own common room for resident students’ entertainment.

Masemola

Named after Manche Masemola a simple South African girl who died for her faith at the hands of her non-Christian parents. Born around 1913 in the Transvaal. Her parents feared she would leave them and not marry the person they would select as her husband. On February 4, 1928, her parents led her to a secluded place, where they killed her, and buried her by a granite rock on a remote hillside.[12] The Hostel was opened in the late 70s to ease the rapid growth in student numbers and demand for boarding places at the school and in 2016, a new Masemola Hostel was opened after the old laboratories were remodelled and converted to be the new Masemola Hostel therefore replacing the old one. The hostel has its own common room for resident student’s entertainment
Association of Trust Schools

On 19 October 1962 Bernard Mizeki College became a founding member of the Association of Trust Schools (ATS) represented by Mr G.C.V. Coppen at the inaugural meeting which also saw the formation of the Conference of Independent Schools Heads (CHISZ). As of July 2016 the College is not a member of the CHISZ ATS, however negotiations are underway to rejoin.[29] The College is currently a member of the International Boys Schools Coalition.
