Boot
out those who have lost students' interests
Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU)
February 05, 2008
ZINASU
to stand for Parliamentary seats come March 2008
Resolute
student struggles against the sitting government of Robert Mugabe
took a paradigm shift in year 2000 that saw great student leaders
standing for office in Parliament, the likes of Learnmore Judah
Jongwe (late), Tafadzwa Musekiwa (asylum), Job Sikhala (astray),
and Nelson Chamisa (resolute). The strategic shift envisioned support
and representation of students' interests at National level.
However, a students'
communiqué released after congress, mandated ZINASU to support
former and current student leaders for representation in house of
assembly in forth coming harmonized March Election and disown those
who have lost students interest.
In the above
regard, ZINASU urges all students in Zimbabwe to register to vote
and subsequently VOTE on Election Day, speak and be heard. It is
further our role as the students union to influence our respective
communities of the value, importance and need to participate in
the election process.
No more blame game, get involved.
Be wary of ZANU
PF discouraging strategies, the regime has sinister tendencies of
making sure the students are not were they are registered to vote
and even make it very difficult for students to register citing
the issue of proof of residence, unfounded technicalities. Against
all odds, let us all go in our numbers and contribute towards Zimbabwe's
socio-economic and political reform.
