Marist Brothers Quiz mentor, Committee Magwada praised his boys for the hard work they put in and their fighting spirit to win the competition.

“I am very proud of my boys and how hard they have worked to get here. I always encourage them to stand tall and fight till the end and today, we go back to Nyanga as the nation’s best quiz team. This has been an insightful and exhilarating experience all thanks to Old Mutual Zimbabwe and its partners for organising a beautiful tournament,” Magwada said.

He also gave a special thanks to the team captain Rodney Matikari, a Form One student, who led the team together.

Prize giving was done by the Old Mutual Group Chief Operations Office (GCOO) Isiah Mashinya and Book of African Records, Acting Chief Executive Officer Tyson Mudarikiri applauded the students for being well prepared.

“It is with no doubt that the students were well prepared and had done their thorough research. Some of the questions were difficult even for adults present and everyone who attended took away one or two learnings,” Mudarikiri said.
