The Malawi Assemblies of God University (MAGU) emerged winner at the third debate in the preliminary round of the 2021 Students’ Debates in which the team went head-to-head against Pentecostal Life University (PLU), who competed in the debates for the first time. The debate was held at the MAGU campus in Lilongwe on Thursday 16th September, 2021 and the teams debated on the topic, “Is it possible to ensure that all public funds and resources are used for the intended purposes?”

Tamara Banda, Francina Msimuko, Marvin Banda, and Alinafe Chikulekule represented PLU while from MAGU it was Evelyn Chikaya, Tadala Chirwa, Ronald Bakawayima Mhango, and Akuzike Nkombeza.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
