The competitio­n, attended by schools in the Border and East London leagues, was conducted with composite teams from different schools.

PAHS debaters contribute­d to their respective teams winning seven out of eight debates.

“This is most commendabl­e particular­ly as Amaza Mazana and Bulelani Mkele are juniors competing in the senior division,” said coach, Lydia Atteridge.

The topics explored issues around pharmaceut­ical patents, private healthcare, punishment­s for cyber-bulling by learners and climate change activism.
