W elcome to Mutare Teachers’ College. It is my pleasure to host

you at this year’s Zimbabwe National Debate Championship (ZNDC). I’m ex-

tremely happy because this event is truly representative of a unique relationship

we have with one another. I wish to express my sincere thanks to CA-F for

choosing Mutare Teachers’ College as a venue for such prestigious competitions.

I also wish to convey profound gratitude to you CA-F for bringing Universities,

Polytechnics and Teachers Colleges from around Zimbabwe to our college.

This has been at a time when we are in the process of rebranding, therefore, it’s

such an honour to have all the tertiary institutions converging here for the De-

bate Nationals. In our rebranding, we have since upgraded our college motto

from ‘Striving for excellence’ to ‘Jewel of excellence’ in a bid to produce a refined

breed of professional teachers. So, hosting such competitions strengthens our

drive to move to much greater heights.

I hope and pray that our participants will display a high standard of discipline

and comradeship for this event to be a resounding success.

Thank you

Mr J.N. Muwandi

(The Principal, Mutare Teachers’ College)

2012 roadmap introduced Pro-

vincial/Zonal Tournaments

which are competitions between Tertiary

Institutions in each of the Zimbabwean

Provinces. As per arrangement, the provin-

cials are to be held at least two months

before the National Competitions. For the

tournament, each Institution is expected to

forward six (6) debating teams

and five (5) adjudicators, of

which the top four (4) debating

teams and three (3) adjudica-

tors in each of the participating

Institutions qualify for the Zim-

babwe National Debate Championship

(ZNDC).

The hype which prevailed in these com-

petitions gave a sneak peak of how

tightly contested the ZNDC 2012 will

be .

The Manicaland Provincials saw a clash

between Mutare Teachers College (the

ZNDC 2012 Hosts), Mutare Polytechnic

College, Africa University and Mary-

mount Teachers College . The competi-

tion was a one day ‘show me what you

got’ competition which however de-

fined the teams which make it to the

ZNDC 2012 and those that got a high-

light of how they will up their game for

the 2013 National Competitions.

Harare Zonal Tournament comprised of

UZ, Madziwa Teachers College and

Chinhoyi Teachers College. The tourna-

ment which stretched a day was a mus-

cle weighing of the teams as they got ready

for the national tourna-

ment. It was hosted by

Madziwa Teachers

College.

The Bulawayo Provin-

cials were held at Bulawayo Polytechnic

College (BP) and stretched for two days,

the 26th and 27th of May 2012.

Making it for the competition

was the Hosts (Bulawayo Poly-

technic), Lupane State Universi-

ty (LSU), Hillside Teachers Col-

lege (HTC) and J.M. Polytechnic

College (J.M. Poly). LSU took the

crown for the day, with Ndabezinhle

Zondo being the best Speaker with an

average of 70.66 points while Luther

Bajila was crowned the Public Speaking

Champion. Fezile Dlomo from Hillside

Teachers College was crowned the best

adjudicator for the tournament.

The Midlands Provincials saw a rattle

between MSU and Gweru Poly. The

Tournament was a glamorous one

which saw the ‘Great Debaters” of MSU

lifting the Provincial Cup, while Samuel

Muleya was the Public Speaking Cham-

pion. MSU hosted the event while Miss

Mhlanga from Gweru Poly took the

medal for being the best Adjudicator

for the Tournament.
