THE newly built Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa Law School in Kwekwe will be officially commissioned this Thursday, coinciding with the Midlands State University (MSU) graduation ceremony to be held in the mining town.
Final touches are underway, with construction teams working tirelessly to ensure that the twin historic events are successfully delivered.
The development has generated excitement within the Kwekwe community, which sees the institution as a catalyst for both academic excellence and economic growth in the Midlands province.
“It is a new dawn for us here in Kwekwe. I foresee a boom in the real estate industry. A lot of people will be seeking accommodation, and we will definitely benefit from all this,” a real estate agent said.
“Our city is on a massive growth trajectory. The project has put our city on the map. The future of Kwekwe and the Midlands province is indeed bright. We are in the right direction,” a resident said.
“As you are aware, the law school used to be at the University of Zimbabwe before the programme was decentralised. Today we are happy and proud as a province, as our children and we can get the best in law right on our doorsteps,” a parent said.
The government is impressed by the infrastructural development, which dovetails with the National Development Strategy 1.
“This state-of-the-art law school is part of the Second Republic’s broader effort towards improving education infrastructure in Zimbabwe, underpinned by the Modernisation and Industrialisation Agenda. I commend the sterling efforts of all MDAs and contractors who have managed to accomplish some milestones at this facility,” Midlands Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Honourable Owen Ncube said.
The Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa Law School, which is named after the President who is also an accomplished lawyer, is set to be the biggest law school in the country and will have a moot court as well as a hospital, among other modern facilities
