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.
