GWERU –
The Midlands State University (MSU) is set to offer Sign Language courses to
civil servants as a means to help
promote the language’s use and accommodating people with disabilities in public
spaces.
Speaking
at the commissioning of the Midlands State University Language Institute (MSULI)
on Monday, May 06, Professor Wiseman Magwa, who is director of the institute, said he
was optimistic about the future.
He said he was pleased with their work record which includes effectively coordinating the
translation of the national constitution into 15 official languages.
“The
language institute is here and is now a reality. We want it to grow to become a
centre of excellence in language research and consultancy services in the region.
Short courses on offer include teaching of marginalised languages, thesis and
dissertation language editing, Braille and transcription services, document
proof-reading and editing, research in indigenous languages and culture among
other services.  
“The
institute has already made an impact by successfully coordinating the
translation of the National constitution into all our 15 languages including
Sign Language. We are the first country to achieve this initiative internationally.
“We
have partnered the Ministry of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs,
Parliament of Zimbabwe, the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops Conference, Ministry of
Health and the Zimbabwe Gender Commission and have been tasked to offer Sign
Language to all nurses, doctors and police officers to improve their areas of
operations in delivering services. We are not limited to them only but also
extending these courses to everyone who want to undergo the courses on offer,”
said Magwa.
MSU
Vice Chancellor Professor, Victor Muzvidziwa said the Institute was going to
help stir national growth and development agenda in all aspects.
“Language
is not an important vehicle only but a crucial cog in realising true national
development. So the commissioning of this centre today will drive the national
agenda of growth and development.
“The
recognition of our national languages should be seen as the core component of
establishing a national consensus that will lead to unity, peace and
development,” said Muzvidziwa.
