Today, Africa day, allow me to celebrate our own, 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗭𝗶𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘄𝗲

Prof. Christopher J. Chetsanga, 90 years, (PhD Univ. of Toronto, 1969; postdoc fellow, Harvard Univ., 1969-72) is prof. of Biochemistry at the Univ. of Zimbabwe, Harare since 1983, a prominent Zimbabwean scientist who is a member of the African Academy of Sciences and The World Academy of Sciences.

Prof. Chetsanga has discovered two enzymes involved in the repair of damaged DNA: (𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒊𝒕
) firstly, formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase, which removes damaged 7-methylguanine from DNA (1979) and secondly, purine imidazole-ring cyclase, which re-closes imidazole rings of guanine and adenine damaged by x-irradiation (1985).

Professor Chetsanga is a UNESCO Gold Medal Award winner and former UNESCO Executive Board member among others

In a canteen back in the 1980s, three employees at drug giant Pfizer decided to break away to start what became Zimbabwe’s first privately held black pharmaceutical firm.

Tobias Dzangare, Celestine Gadzikwa and Glory Zata founded Varichem in 1985. Its first product, Prazosin, launched in 1988. But they faced resistance.

“Most wholesalers and pharmacists were not interested in our product because of prejudice from our former employer.”

Today, Varichem Pharmaceuticals is one of Zimbabwe’s biggest manufacturers and exporters of medicines.

🔸If you want to excel at mooting, I recommend the following:

1. Go to court and watch (good) lawyers argue. Pay attention to the language they use, their appearance, how they address the bench and their opponent. Focus on Supreme Court appeals and High Court motions, in particular.

2. Develop mastery of technical legal principles. Mooting is not simply arguing in English. It is arguing the law. Make sure you have a sound grasp of the law. Prepare and research thoroughly. Know both sides of the case inside out. Style comes later.

3. Use clear, simple, respectful and proper language. Use formal mannerisms (I submit, My Lord, My Lady). When you open, give the court a roadmap of how your argument will be structured. Identify the crisp issue that is to be determined. Articulate the legal position. Apply the law to the facts. Deal with weaknesses in your case. (Always make your strongest arguments first.) Be mindful of time management. Limit your scripting. Have bullet points but don’t read.

4. Learn how to manage hostile judges. Think before you speak. Answer questions directly. Remain calm. Never speak over a judge. Be super polite no matter what - but stand your ground. Don’t make silly concessions. Always go back to your main argument.

5. Presentation is extremely important. Wear a tailored or well-fitted black suit, a white shirt and black court shoes. Starch your jabot. Have conservative hair and jewellery. You don’t want your appearance to distract the court from your submissions. Looking sharp will also improve your confidence. You want to look like a lawyer not like a student.

6. Be a team player. Learn to collaborate and bring your A-game individually in the team’s interests. Co-ordinate skillfully.

6. Minimise the use of gestures. Maintain eye contact. Avoid disfluencies (umms and ahhs). Speak audibly but don’t shout or sound like you’re in a kid’s play. Record yourself in practice so you are conscious of how you come across.

Mooting will change your life. Do as much of it as possible in university.

All the best!🔥

Yesterday I posted something about the leading Zimbabwean eye surgeon, Dr Solomon Guramatunhu, and how he has been a long-standing proponent of natural hair, especially for women.

I saw today that a few women went into meltdown over that. More importantly, a lot of my non-Zimbabwean social media followers have been asking what the discourse was about.

For that reason, I have cut this piece from one of the interviews he did with Trevor Ncube, where he explains his views on this particular issue and the thinking behind them.
