There are slightly over 100 scholars, who are selected around the world and of these two are Zimbabweans.
 
 "This is an opportunity for our youngsters to go to Oxford to mix and mingle with the best in the world,” said Mutambara, a distinguished Rhodes scholar himself.
 
 “These two are in a unique position because they will have a chance to be at Oxford. l am urging university students at University of Zimbabwe, Africa University, Midlands State University and so forth to apply
 
 “We are not getting enough applications from local universities, so we are going there to raise profile of the scholarship among the local students
 

 Mukonoweshuro is a former Dominican Covenant student in the capital while Mahere is currently studying engineering at a Moroccan University.”
