Daily Maverick published an open letter written by Ben Horowitz, an old boy from Highlands North Boys’ High School in Johannesburg.
In the letter, which he wrote before the 40th reunion of his 1981 matric class, Horowitz wrote of the toxic culture embedded in the school at the time.
He made a call to all the old boys from that year to make a positive contribution and pledge money to support some of the school’s needs.
