This year’s address will be delivered by prominent Zimbabwean politician, human rights lawyer, and pro-democracy activist, David Coltart. Senator Coltart is a committed and active Christian, and was a founding member of the Movement for Democratic Change, now in uneasy but determined coalition with long-reigning President Robert Mugabe. In 2009, Coltart was appointed Zimbabwe’s Minister for Education, Sports, Art and Culture. He will discuss religious influence in politics.
