Participated in the 9th edition of the African Human Rights Moot Court competition in 2000 (Accra, Ghana)

Mooted in Jessup in 1999 and we came second.  Was in the team representing UP. This was the first time an African university had made it to the finals since 1977. Prof Frans Viljoen was our coach; and my team mate, Lawrence Mashava, got the best oralist award. I coached the UP team for the African Moot in 2004, Tanzania. The team won the competition, got the best oralist award, and best memorials award
