The kids that were selected are reported to be excellent debaters and have competed on the world stage prior to this.
With only a month of intensive training, the team was able to come together towards a common goal and share their expertise.
One of the students shared that: "It was a surreal moment where we showed that men and woman can work together to prove that we can do something extra-ordinary. It is a moment that the world, the continent and South Africa can be truly proud of."

This was undoubtedly a new and exciting process as none of the students were well-reversed in law. They made it work and took every measure to ensure their preparation.
We are so proud of these students and can't wait to see what else they will achieve.
