Midlands State University suspends two
Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU)
August 24, 2010

The Midlands State University (MSU) has indefinitely suspended two student leaders for allegedly associating themselves with ZINASU and its President Obert Masaraure in trying to cause mayhem and furore at the institution of higher learning. The students Tryvern Musokera and Stephen Tshuma are also being accused of spraying graffiti on campus which was denouncing the Vice-Chancellor Ngwabi Bhebhe.

Their suspension letters declared that the two are not MSU's students since they were not registered for this semester which commenced in Mid-August of 2010. Reliable sources have informed the union that the ZINASU President Obert Masaraure is bound to get a life-ban from MSU soon. The number of suspensions has reached 50 within a space of a year which has shown that students are not experiencing any transition as victimization is continuously being unleashed by the state apparatus at a black market rate.

Meanwhile, the ZINASU leadership appeared before a Harare Provincial Magistrate's Court where they were acquitted of the charges of contravening POSA on the June 16th of 2010 when they addressed the University of Zimbabwe students. Court proceedings in Gweru were the ZINASU leadership comprising of President Obert Masaraure, Vice-President Tafadzwa Kutya, Treasurer General Zivanai Muzorodzi and six other MSU students were expected to appear before a Midlands Provincial Magistrate's court failed to take place since the investigating officer had not completed the dockets.
