Midlands State University (MSU) will relocate its Faculty of Law from Gweru to the newly constructed Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa Law School in Kwekwe when the August 2026 academic semester begins, marking a significant milestone in Zimbabwe’s legal education sector.
The state-of-the-art facility, commissioned in 2025, is expected to become fully operational within the next two months. The move forms part of the university’s efforts to expand access to higher education while strengthening the quality of legal training in the country.
MSU Pro-Vice Chancellor for Infrastructure and Campus Development, Dr Gift Manyatera, said all law lectures, tutorials and administrative services would be transferred to the new campus in August.
“The new law school will feature moot courts, lecture theatres, a law library, clinical legal education units and digital research facilities. Moving to the Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa Law School will enhance our capacity to train legal practitioners who are equipped for the demands of the 21st century,” said Dr Manyatera.
The new campus is expected to accommodate up to 600 students and will also house the faculties of Agriculture and Natural Resources as well as the Built Environment.
MSU’s Faculty of Law, established in 2007, has grown into one of Zimbabwe’s leading legal training institutions.
