Defectors' portfolios filled as students elected an interim ZINASU National Executive Council
Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU) (Mugwadi)
May 11, 2010

Pursuant to the defection by some members of the Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU) National Executive Council members, the ZINASU President Tafadzwa Tuboy Mugwadi held a special meeting with members of the ZINASU General Council on Friday 07 May 2010.The meeting was held at the ZINASU offices in Harare. Due to the urgency of the meeting, twenty-three bonafide General Councilors attended the meeting and resolved among other things that:

  • We shall safe guard and fully implement all Congress resolutions in their totality.
  • The President's ultimatum to the Prime Minister on the fees, HEXCO examination results, and the University of Zimbabwe accommodation crisis be pursued without hesitation.
  • Defection by some members of the National Executive Council was a treasonous crime against the Union and those members who defected must be replaced by an interim National executive Council pending a General Council meeting to be convened within a month. The task of the interim executive includes among other duties to mobilize and prepare students across the country for resistance against the current education denying fees, sustain the Union programmes and prepare for the general council meeting. Because of that the meeting resolved that the following comrades be the interim National Executive Council:
Name Institution Position
Owen Magondo Gweru Polytechnic College Vice President
Terence Makomeke Great Zimbabwe University Secretary General
Mojalifa Makoele Hillside Teacher's College Deputy Secretary General Secretary
Bernard Ganzwa Bulawayo Polytechnic College Treasurer General
Rangarirai Muchawaya Harare polytechnic College Legal secretary
Tendai Katai Harare Institute of Technology Gender and Human rights secretary
Noel Gotora University of Zimbabwe Education and Research Secretary
Robin Bushu Harare Institute of Technology Sports and Entertainment Secretary

ZINASU is not a bush organization whose operations are determined by personalities who are driven by a strong desire for money, it is a movement that is premised and found on a constitution whose dictates overwhelm personal capacities and ambitions. Our actions of today shall not seek approval or disapproval from our times but from a truth which we have realized and acknowledged, this truth is found within our congress resolutions and shaped by our constitution. We are convinced that the higher insight of posterity shall not only understand us but shall equally realize our correctness.

Our union is a poor but principled one and shall never be exchanged for silver and gold, that will not happen not in our watch.

Long live ZINASU!
