Prominent Zimbabwean journalist and lawyer Brian Hungwe is now a member of the Association of Arbitrators (Southern Africa) formed in 1979 to promote arbitration to resolve disputes and provide competent and experienced arbitrators and alternative dispute resolution specialists. 
Hungwe, who worked for the Zimbabwe Independent, SABC and BBC for years, as well as several other media platforms as a correspondent, is now based in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Arbitration, adjudication and mediation are some of the best methods to resolve critical business disputes and provide alternative dispute resolution mechanisms to legal issues.
Arbitration is a form of dispute resolution.
Instead of going to court over serious disputes, some businesses often submit their disputes to arbitrators, whose decisions are binding. The location and procedure for arbitration are usually contractually agreed between parties.

The advantages of arbitration over court action are massive and clear: arbitrations are faster and less expensive than court trials, usually taking less than six months from the beginning to end and costing perhaps half as much as a civil trial.
After leaving journalism practice, Hungwe, who is now studying for a PhD in intellectual property law at Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg, went on to do law at the University of Zimbabwe and work at the Harare Law Chambers before relocating to South Africa in 2020.
