Program Overview

Welcome & Orientation

We will start the tournament with an orientation session for our adjudication panel and participants. We'll start with the basics, so no prior debate experience is needed.

Debates & Feedback

We'll have five competitive debates. We'll work with teachers to create a supportive environment that encourages experimentation.

The Awards Ceremony

We will recognize the achievements of our new debaters with an awards ceremony. We'll award trophies and medals to our top teams and individuals.

Founding Schools

Our inaugural tournament united a community of 156 students from 5 Mozambican schools.

The Johannesburg South Debating League

Testimonials from our Johannesburg series

“At the start of the season the boys were anxious as this was an all-time first for them. The warmth and safe environment offered during the debate season has grown both their confidence and ability. At the start of our term, they were all lined up outside my class (before extra murals began for the term), begging to start debate. It has been such a privilege to both work with you and the other members and then to witness the growth of my learners.”

Debate Coordinator at St Declan's School for Boys

“Glenanda Primary School joined the Johannesburg South Debating League which has proven to be an extremely rewarding experience. The knowledge that the organiser, Mr T. Moodley shared was both conducive and efficacious since it had tips and tricks that helped our learners become successful. By participating in Inter-School competitions, it led them into becoming effective, buddying debaters and very competitive against high profile schools. Our learners' success from this experience has made them confident and conscious of greater expectations. Mr T.Moodley portrays a great deal of knowledge and enthusiasm in what he does.”
