BY VARAIDZO MUDEWAIRI ZIMBABWE’S moot court team, which recently raised the country’s flag high by winning the 2022 International High Schools Moot Competition, has appealed for assistance to raise US$31 000 for the trip to the European Moot Court competition in Bucharest, Romania, from June 25 to July 5.

Eleven Zimbabwean students last month won the 2022 High Schools Moot International competition held virtually.  Zimbabwe was the only country that represented Africa.
