This school is in Zimbabwe, not South Africa. Hartzell Primary School is part of Old Mutare Mission, on the Mutare to Nyanga road in Mutasa District, Manicaland Province, and is run under the United Methodist Church in Zimbabwe.
No South African education department has any authority over it, and no South African number reaches it. The mission is contactable through Hartzell High School on +263 20 65148 or [email protected].
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory and is not the school or the mission.

The mission is several institutions, not one
This is the reason enquiries go astray. Old Mutare Mission houses a primary school, a high school, a hospital, a dental clinic, a church and an orphanage on one site. They share a location and a name in everyday speech, but they are different institutions with different offices.
Say which one you need when you make contact. A call about a primary school place, a hospital appointment or a church matter will otherwise be routed by guesswork.
Calling Zimbabwe from South Africa
- Dial the full +263 form. There is no toll free route into Zimbabwe and the call is charged at international rates.
- Email is more dependable than the landline for a first enquiry, and it leaves you a written record of what was agreed.
- Mission school terms and fee structures differ from South Africa’s. Do not assume a South African school calendar, grade naming or fee exemption process applies.
- School records for a former learner stay with the mission or the church, not with any South African department.
If something goes wrong
South African consumer and education complaint routes do not apply here. The Department of Basic Education, provincial departments and the South African schools legislation govern schools in South Africa only.
An unresolved matter goes to the mission administration and then to the United Methodist Church structures that run it. This page names no Zimbabwean education authority, because we have not verified which office has jurisdiction, and sending you to the wrong one helps nobody.
