Nelson Mandela University Faculty of Law Moot Court Final 2017

The Moot Court module is an elective offered to law students. The blend of theory and practical application by which the module is delivered, equips and trains the students to participate fully in the moot court experience. The final which was held on the 27th July 2017, for the first time in the Port Elizabeth High Court, is a culmination of various assessments. The 2 teams with the highest marks qualified. Appearing for the applicant team were Nceba Mafa and Katongo Bwalya and arguing for the respondents were Chante du Toit and Ivan Oosthuizen. The teams presented arguments to an adjudicating panel composed of Judge Eksteen, Advocate Dup de Bruyn, Advocate Wabo Msizi, Prof Avinash Govindjee and Mr Kailash Karsan. The winning team, Nceba Mafa and Katongo Bwalya, will be representing Nelson Mandela University at 26th African Human Rights Moot to be hosted by the University of Mauritius in September 2017.
