Professor Lovemore Madhuku

Born on 20 July 1966 in Madhuku village, Lovemore Madhuku completed his Bachelor of Law (Honours) degree in 1989 with a first-class pass at the University of Zimbabwe and went on to study for a post-graduate Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree. He was awarded a Beit Trust Fellowship Scholarship to study law at Oxford University in the UK. He enrolled for the Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) degree and studied for a term before transferring to study for the Master of Law (LLM) at the University of Cambridge on a Cambridge Commonwealth Trust Scholarship, completing with a first class in July 1994. He then returned to Zimbabwe for an 18-month break, during which time he joined the Friedrich Ebert-Stiftung, a German NGO, as a labour law consultant while at the same time teaching in the Law Faculty at the University of Zimbabwe. In January 1996, he returned to the University of Cambridge to study for a PhD, which he successfully completed in December 1998. While still studying for his PhD, he accepted a permanent lecturership in the Law Faculty at the University of Zimbabwe. Since then, Prof Madhuku has taught introduction to law, constitutional law, labour law, jurisprudence (legal theory), tax law, and banking law and has published extensively in these areas. Outside academia and legal practice, Prof Madhuku is an active politician who is the leader of the National Constitutional Assembly (NCA) party.
