The Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU) National President Tafadzwa "Tu-boy" Mugwadi is still in custody at Harare Central Police Station and is set to appear in court tomorrow.

President Mugwadi was arrested on Saturday the 27th of March 2010 at Harare Polytechnic College together with the ZINASU Education and Research secretary Bestnos Kundishora and University of Zimbabwe student leader Alias Chitombo after distributing ZINASU Weekly newsletters and addressing students during the Tertiary Games hosted by the college. Initially two student leaders arrested on together with the president Kundishora and Chitombo were released yesterday with no charges.

ZINASU demands the immediate and unconditional release of President Mugwadi we believe that the detention of President Mugwadi is clearly political and a violation of our rights to education and a clear breach of all rights declarations and covenants.

This spiraling and continued violation of our academic rights is in spite of the realities of the inclusive government and the Union feels betrayed by those governing this land. Today the so called transition is only a change of governing personalities and mere technocratic changes ushering nothing but words.
