Errol Tapiwa Muzawazi was awarded a Best Foreign Student award

Errol had been speaking for six days..

.. and five nights without sleep

In his attempt he had many supporters

Errol Tapiwa Muzawazi from Zimbabwe prevailed an hour against an Indian professor who lectured for 120 hours in 2008. This time the topic was democracy. Muzawazi is a law student at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, involved in research and speaking widely on the need for fundamental reform in Africa as a necessary step to African development.  In 2010, he hopes to overcome the barriers of tribalism in Africa by traveling across the African continent by land to 23 countries on a research tour. The aim of the lecture was to raise tools for the Pan-African Educational Expedition 2010, a study tour across 23 African countries in which Errol and friends from the Jagiellonian University will travel to teach basic educational skills in rural areas and volunteer in community projects.

Participants of the expedition will seek to inspire their fellow youth in Africa to play a role in the realization of the Millennium Development Goals in their local communities. In return, the participants seek to learn from what other young people across Africa are doing in pursuit of sustainable African development.

The Longest Lecture event has been prepared by 50 young people from 16 countries: Belarus, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Nigeria, Poland, Tanzania, Turkey and Zimbabwe. The 17th country participating was South Africa, whose Charge de' affaires in Poland and his wife performed honorary duties. Also 2 people from Tibet were a part of the team.
 - I am very happy now,I proved to myself that where’s a will, there’s a way – said exhausted Errol after the lecture was over.
