Students
at Masvingo State University face perpetual denial of food
Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU)
April 16, 2007
About 7 students 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 secratary general Edson Hlatswayo's whereabouts are not known
after they were taken by a group, allegedly composed of ZANU P.F
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.
