NACAPEZ gets international recognition
Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU)
June 22, 2010

The European Union of Students (EUS) has joined forces with Zimbabwean students to fight against privatization of education in Zimbabwe, which is a welcomed move. They have made a press statement in relation to the state of education in Zimbabwe and have vowed to fight for the betterment of the Zimbabwean student through any means necessary.

The ZINASU leadership is expected to have a meeting with the Danish Youth Council sometime this week and shall also host eleven Danish students from the 22nd to the 23rd of July this year. The Danish students' visit is mainly based on capturing the challenges that are bedevilling the students of Zimbabwe and to get more information about the only students' union in Zimbabwe (ZINASU) currently led by Obert Masaraure.

Meanwhile, the uncouth Vice Chancellor of Great Zimbabwe University Maravanyika has blindly instructed students' who are not through with registration to pack their bag. ZINASU and the students at large shall not tolerate such a move and the Treasurer General Zivanai Muzorodzi said that, 'The students are ready to fight even using their own teeth to be allowed to write their exams.'

The Vice-President of Madziwa Teachers' College Maxwell has informed ZINASU of the disturbances they are getting from the ZANU-PF militia as the COPAC led constitution-making process takes-off. ZINASU has seen that this process will only yield violence of an untold nature as there are no significant reforms that were done.

A student from Nyadire Teachers' College who spoke on condition of anonymity said that, 'The Inclusive Government has failed to play a transitional role, as students we only witnessed a change of faces and an inflated number of government officials but nothing to show for it. Nyadire Teachers' College is also affected by the same predicament similar to those of Madziwa Teachers' College.

The ZINASU leadership is pleased by the manner in which the Students' Solidarity Trust (SST) provided assistance to the student leaders who were arrested last week at UZ. The ZINASU leadership goes further to warn those who 'forge complaints' against our allies 'on behalf of ZINASU' to cease forthwith. ZINASU is an independent organization that does not require favours from anyone in any quarter (It serves as a reminder only).
