Harare - A Zimbabwean law student claims to have talked his way into the Guinness World Records by giving a lecture that lasted 99 hours and 30 minutes, state radio reported Saturday.
Errol Muzawazi, 22, pipped the previous record holder by one hour when he lectured in a hall at Harares Belvedere Teachers' College from Monday evening to Friday evening, the radio said.
Muzawazi's theme was African unity and youth empowerment, the report said.
Officials from the Guinness World Records are yet to confirm whether Muzawazi, a student of international law at Poland's Jagiellonian University, has beaten previous record holder Annaiah Ramesh of India.
According to the official website of the Guinness World Records, Ramesh set his record in March this year with a lecture lasting 98 hours and 30 minutes entitled the Molecular Logic of Life.
Muzawazis lecture was also held to raise funds for Zimbabwe's Mother of Peace Aids Orphanage, which shelters 150 AIDS orphans. The law student is expected to return to Poland next week to write examinations, the radio said.
