FOUR University of Zimbabwe students have left the country for Enactus World Cup championships in Astana, Kazakhstan.
They were seen off at a ceremony organised by Delta Corporation last Friday.
The quartet will join fellow students from 34 other countries at the championships.
Delta Corporation corporate affairs officer, Kissmore Murandu, said the event offers a unique platform for networking for the students.
“The Enactus World Cup is a global convergence of innovative minds and young social innovators drawn from 35 countries.
“The event also brings together leading business leaders and academics who will gather in Astana, a city as vibrant as ideas from young minds that will be celebrated this year.
“The Enactus World Cup offers a unique platform for networking with global leaders and top executives,” said Murandu.
Meanwhile, the University of Zimbabwe has said it is implementing an environmental sustainability initiative.
“The University of Zimbabwe is implementing an environmental sustainability initiative titled ‘Aqua Flora’ which aims to address the infestation of Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) in Zimbabwean water bodies while simultaneously capitalising on opportunities in the Zimbabwean furniture industry.
“The intervention ropes in responsible government bodies — the Zimbabwe National Water Authority, the Environmental Management Agency, and ZIMPARKS, — the local Waterfalls-Mukuvisi River, and Lake Chivero community in the removal of Water Hyacinth,” said the UZ said in a statement.
