Thereafter, the President will preside over the 30th Graduation Ceremony of the National University of Science and Technology (NUST), in Bulawayo.

At full capacity, BSAC will accommodate 1032 students.
Students are drawn from tertiary institutions including NUST, Bulawayo Polytechnic and Zimbabwe School of Mines.
