Experience at Hilton College In March 2025, Marawa opened up about his experience at Hilton College, a prestigious private boarding school for boys in KwaZulu Natal. In an interview on Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh’s podcast, SMWX on 20 March 2025, Marawa reflected on the challenges he faced during his time at the institution from 1987 to 1991 and since he graduated from the school he never wanted to see it again. He was among the first black students at the historically white school, and the cultural differences left a lasting impact. Black students in South African private schools have historically faced cultural alienation and challenges integrating into predominantly white environments. While this is changing as more students of colour enroll, Marawa’s experience is a reminder of the deep emotional scars these experiences can leave. He said his stance about the school softened in recent years, particularly after George Harris became headmaster of Hilton College in 2017. Harris, who had previously served as CEO of the Royal Bafokeng Institute, which brought a fresh perspective and a focus on inclusivity. This eventually prompted Marawa to return to the school for the first time in October 2024, he told Mpofu-Walsh.
