"Haviland's Chum" by Bertram Mitford explores themes of friendship, bullying, and cultural differences within the context of a boys' school. At the heart of the novel is the developing bond between Haviland, a school prefect, and Mpukuza, a Zulu boy who is new to the school and initially faces mockery and exclusion from his classmates. The novel examines the complexities of school dynamics, where power, social hierarchies, and the need for acceptance play significant roles in shaping the students' experiences. The theme of bullying is explored as Mpukuza is targeted for his ethnicity and differences, forcing Haviland to confront issues of fairness, protection, and what it means to stand up for someone in need. In this context, the novel also highlights cultural differences, showing the clash between Mpukuza's heritage and the norms of the English school environment. Through their growing friendship, the narrative suggests that understanding and mutual respect can bridge cultural divides. Moreover, the story touches on themes of identity and belonging, as both boys navigate the challenges of fitting in while trying to stay true to themselves in an unfamiliar environment.
