UZ Adjusts Students' Meals Due To Budgetary Constraints

The University of Zimbabwe has adopted austerity measures in the provision of meals for students resident on the campus.

In a memorandum released on Thursday, September 26, 2019, Assistant Director, Catering, one M. Chimbuya wrote:

Due to budgetary constraints, please take note of the following adjustments on standards:

Chicken  1 bird 12 students
Beef        1kg: 12 Students (1 piece per student).
Beans      1kg: 16 students
Rice:        Twice per week
Milk        1 litre: 40 students
Bread      3 slices per person

Take note that all meals will have fried cabbage only and cooking oil should be used for cooking vegetables on all meals that have chicken or beef.

Recently, Gweru Polytechnic College scrapped breakfast and all meat dishes on their menu as the economic meltdown bites.
