The National University of Science and Technology’s 30th graduation ceremony has been relocated from the outdoor Sports Field at the university campus to Hall 4 at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) due to heavy rainfall across Bulawayo.

In a statement the Registrar Mr. Biggy Ngwenya said the persistent rain is expected to continue throughout the week, prompting the venue change to ensure a dry, secure environment for attendees.
