The EnglishSpeaking Union Moot , also known as, by virtue of a sponsorship arrangement with Essex Court Chambers , the ESU Essex Court Chambers National Mooting Competition , or simply the ESU Moot , is the longest running national mooting competition in the UK, involving teams of law students from Universities across the country. The competition is run by the EnglishSpeaking Union . History In addition to being the oldest mooting competition, the ESU moot is also the largest of its kind, accepting entries from Universities across the legal jurisdictions of the UK. Originally, the ESU moot was known as the Observer Moot, and has been known by its current name since 2000. Legal Week currently acts as the competition s media partner. Format The competition takes a knockout format, with 6 rounds, the last two of which take place on the same day. While the number of rounds require 64 participants, there is facility for more competitors than this, with special arrangements made to have pre competition rounds to whittle the competitors down to 64. Each round must be completed by a particular preset deadline, with one team being designated the host, and is thus responsible for securing a judge and organising facilities for the moot. All finalists and semi finalists are presented with monetary prizes. In addition, the winners are awarded the Silver Mace, and the runner s up the Scarman Shield.

Bantu SpeakingPeoples Of South Africa Category Ethnic groups in Africa ...refimprove date June 2010 Black South Africa ns were at times officially called Bantu peoples Bantu by the apartheid regime . The term Bantu is derived from the word for people common to many of the Bantu languages . In South Africa Bantu is no longer in wide use as a description of black South African people. The Oxford English Dictionary Oxford Dictionary of South African English describes its use in a racial context as obsolescent and offensive because of its strong association with white minority rule and the apartheid system. However, Bantu is used without pejorative connotations in other parts of Africa. History At some stage after the tertiary dispersal period a settlement at Great Zimbabwe was established as the capital of a trading empire. Around this time there is evidence of coastal trading with Arabs, with the South East Asian region, and even with China. As the southern groups of Bantu speakers migrated southwards two main groups emerged, the Nguni people Nguni Xhosa people Xhosa , Zulu people Zulu , Northern Ndebele people Ndebele , Swazi people Swazi , who occupied the eastern coastal plains, and the Sotho Tswana who lived on the interior plateau.
