Student
leaders abducted
Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU)
April 11, 2007
About 7 student
leaders were reported abducted on Tuesday 10 April 2007 night for
protesting against Masvingo State University (MASU) authorities
decision to deny them food.
Meanwhile, five of the students have been released but the Student
Representative Council (SRC) president Witlow Mugwiji and Secretary
General Edson Hlatswayo's whereabouts are not known after they were
taken by a group, allegedly composed of ZANU PF youths and the police.
Their lawyer Mr. Wellington Muzenda has been making frantic efforts
to locate where they are currently being detained.
Students at
MASU have vowed to force the college administration to provide food
since they (students) have all paid catering fees for the full semester.
Students have resolved not to top up the fees that are being charged
as extras for this semester. ZINASU vice president has said the
situation is volatile and potentially explosive.
It is reported
that 11 female students fainted in the hostels, possibly because
of hunger.
