Mazowe Boys High School is a boarding school located 17 kilometres from the Westgate Mall along Old Mazowe road, Harare, Zimbabwe. For more than a decade, Mazowe Boys High has been the National Champion in Volleyball in Zimbabwe.
The Mazowe campus provides accommodation for all students that attend the school. Students are housed according to the year they are in. House names were chosen after animals and these are; Elephant, Buffalo, Sable, Antelope, Kudu, Impala and Roan though roan is not actually an animal but a colour found on many animals.
The school song lyrics are;
Oh students of Mazowe,
Come and sing this hymn of praise,
Now raise your voices in joyful songs,
For the blessings of this day,
Let us carry the flame of liberty,
To enlight the darkened way,
With patience and with dignity,
Let us lead to a better day.
(refrain) x2
Mazowe, Mazowe,
We Will hold your banner high
As we live to honour your memory
May your glory never die.Mazowe has been there for over 50 years after starting in 1959. It has had great students in the likes Tafadzwa Dube, Vusimusi Sibanda, Mufaro Dube, Makombora, Takudzwa Deve, Robson Mahachi, to name but just a few.
