Two
student leaders served with 3 year suspensions
Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU)
November 01, 2007
National
University of Science and Technology (NUST) students' union
vice president Mehluli Dube and council member Themba Maphenduka
were yesterday served with a 3year suspension. Mehluli and Themba
among other student leaders were summoned to a disciplinary hearing
in May 2007 after a spate of student unrests in November last year
that were demanding withdrawal of huge tuition fee increases. Suspension
letters were yesterday hurriedly signed by the university registrar
a day before the students' union elections for the president where
Themba Maphenduka was an aspirant but subsequently disqualified
on the basis of not being a bonafide student.
Since its inception in
1991 under the leadership of Vice Chancellor Prof. Makhulane until
his retirement in 2003, NUST recorded a responsible precedence of
engaging student leaders in dialogue rather than suspending or expelling.
The leadership of Vice Chancellor Prof. LR. Ndlovu records a total
of eight students suspended within a period of 2 years.
