The University of Zimbabwe (UZ)’s Faculty of Law has done it again, solidifying its tradition of excellence by emerging victorious in this year’s International Human Rights national law moot court competition held recently at the High Court.
Hosted by the Raoul Walsenburg Institute, the competition brought together five universities: Midlands State University (MSU), Africa University (AU), Great Zimbabwe University (GZU), and Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University (ZEGU), along with UZ.
The teams were tasked with tackling complex issues, including the classification of armed conflict and humanitarian expert advice on environmental harm within such conflicts. After preliminary rounds, the UZ and ZEGU made it to the final round, with UZ ultimately being crowned the champions.
The UZ team was represented by Nyasha Bhuza, Rutendo Gukwa and Munyaradzi Musarurwa with Bhuza voted the best orator in the final round.
The team received coaching from Advocate Tazorora Musarurwa, with support from legal practitioners Advocate Gina Mabwe, Mr Melusi Majojo and Mr Lincoln Majogo.
The team’s success highlighted the importance of teamwork and collaboration, value of expert coaching and mentorship as well as the UZ’s commitment to excellence in legal education.
“This victory marks a milestone for the University of Zimbabwe,” said the team. “It is a testament to the hard work and the investment of time and knowledge by the coaches and students involved.”
This win is a testament to the Faculty of Law’s commitment to producing highly motivated graduates with a strong grounding in law.
