Midlands State University has intensified security at its campuses following an attack on students near Senga Training Centre outside the MSU main campus by soldiers on the evening of March 25.|
Army spokesperson Colonel Alphios Makotore however, distanced soldiers from the attack and blamed illegal gold panners in Gweru whom he claimed posed as army personnel. MSU vice chancellor, Victor Muzvidziwa said the security of students was a priority at the higher learning institution. In a statement on Sunday Muzvidziwa said:
Midlands State University administration denounces the attack and wishes to reassure its valued students that their security and safety is a top priority.
