A HALL at the Zimbabwe International Exhibition Centre (ZIEC) has been transformed into a spectacle of immaculate suits and glowing gowns as Bulawayo celebrates two of its esteemed luminaries.

Dr James Ross Goddard and Dr Busisa Moyo – doyens of construction and industry respectively – are basking in the glory of being honoured by the National University of Science and Technology (Nust).

During Nust’s 31st graduation ceremony last month the university conferred Goddard and Moyo with honorary doctorates in recognition of their exceptional contributions to the nation.
