ZINASU Threatens To Shut Down Universities

The Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU) on Monday threatened to shut down universities and colleges if the Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science and Technology Development Ministry turns down its request for dialogue over the various challenges faced by students.

ZINASU has condemned what it terms “out of reach” tuition fees and has requested talks with the ministry to prevent further drop-outs.

Emmanuel Sitima, the ZINASU president, on Monday, addressed students at ministry offices where he expressed frustration over the refusal of authorities to dialogue. He said (via NewsDay):

If they fail to respond within that time frame, Zinasu will have no other choice but to shut down institutions of higher learning.
We also held a multi-stakeholder meeting on February 27, which was attended by all stakeholders including the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Higher Education, but the ministry decided not to come…

We have several requests that we have towards the minister for a meeting to be able to give him our views as a student union because we believe that he (Minister Amon Murwira) does not have a monopoly of ideas and solutions to the problems we are facing as students.
We are sons and daughters of peasants and civil servants who are anywhere below the poverty line.

Some students have repeatedly been forced to defer studies, drop out, or engage in social vices such as prostitution to fund their continued stay in college.

In March this year, Murwira said there was no free education and that students should engage in work-for-fees programmes.

There is nothing special about these university students...They should be grateful since most of them don't even have to work for their tuition like I used to do back in my university days...Even in Western countries there are cases of student protests which resulted in arrest so please spare us that bullsh!t about being undemocratic... Dialogue with entitled millennial TikTok merchants haa spare us please 😂😂

I blame it all on the removal of corporal punishment in schools. Honai vana vakuzokura vasina hunhu. Munhu aizoenda ku university abe mature akuziva nhamo nekumira kwakaita upenyu. These 2000s are going to give us a lot of problems even in work places

Vanongoda kurohwa zve!! Shutdown vakamira sani? Unemployed overzealous political puppets. Those rants can render them potentially unemployable in the future vave nema criminal records. Withholding their results is another option in addition to a five year suspension. Nguva yekuda kuita mbiri uri pa college yakapfuura kare. Zvakaitwa nana Mutambara zviya. Ikozvino vakada kuita mahumbwe vachenjere kusangana ne gwenyamukwenya. Unogwabvura ukaridza mhere ukanyarara uchingovaviwa. Hatuna chivindi tuvana twanezuro. Kungotuitisa ma frog jump muchitukwatura magar0 reshamhu yemu lemon hatusvike 2 hours tunenge twafenda. Kana vari vasikana endai navo munovararisa mumabhanditi ku D class just for over a night mobva movabuditsa. Vanobva vaziva kuti disorder yakashata. Vamwe vabereki varikushandira kuti vana vavo vadzidze imimi muri busy disturbing. Kwanai!!

Our students are demanding nothing other than a mere dialogue with the responsible ministry, so what threat is that, making all state apparatus shiver with fear

Today's student unions are just useless, they are politicizing the unions without actually looking at the interests of the students. They are more focused on political party agendas than students interests

Nothing positive has come out of that Chitepo nonsense, all they know is chanting slogans like 2030 Mnangagwa anenge achipo. They completely lack critical thinking skills, that Chitepo college is destroying the future of this country by producing puppets of political leaders who cannot present any convincing arguments but instead prefer violence of all forms
