From a thought to

an idea,

The ZNDC as we know it is a constellation of

pan Zimbabwean efforts to contribute a brisk to its

development. From NUST to UZ, from Chinhoyi to

Mutare and now in the heritage City, ZNDC has come

of this age.

In celebrating its fifth anniversary, let us ensure that

we concretise and propel its founding values of inclu-

sivity, tolerance and knowledge seeking attributes.

Viva ZNDC viva!

(Convenor)

Zimbabwe National Debate Championship has proudly turned five.

The build up from the 2009 has seen many successes and challeng-

es that together have contributed to the quality of debate in Zimba-

bwe today.

The years passed have seen Zim-

babwe Debate Network growing

from convening four institutions

to 21 in 2012, successfully forward-

ing a team to the Worlds Universities Debate Championship in Ber-

lin, 2012/13, successfully convening the Pan African Universities

Debate Championship 2010, getting a green light from the Zimba-

bwean Government through the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary

Education to run debate in all institution of higher learning in Zim-

babwe.

Starting from the previous year, institutions have successfully con-

vened Zonal debate championships with two zones managing to

convene the Zonals successfully.

Did you know?

ZNDC is the largest none-

sporting event in Zimbabwe

Page 7: Zndc 2013 tourney booklet

This was followed by a successful tournament that was hosted by

Mutare Teachers College. The tourney had a total of 72 teams and

an adjudication team that comprised of renowned adjudicators. The

Champions were a team from Bulawayo Polytechnic which then

won the ticket to represent Zimbabwe at the Worlds Universities De-

bate Championship in Berlin.

2013 saw an improvement with Bulawayo, Mutare and Harare

convening successful Zonals that led to the selection of the teams

that represent the institutions at this ZNDC. This then led to the

success of this fifth edition which is hosted by Masvingo Teachers

College.

For this edition, debaters can expect world class trainers and adju-

dicators, top drawer debates and quality debaters. Winners get a

ticket to represent ZDU in Chennai, India for the 34th edition of

WUDC while the team that breaks first after the preliminary rounds

will represent ZDU at the Worlds Universities Peace Invitational

Debate Championship in Malaysia.

That could be you…
