Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU) as a student, movement with a vision of safeguarding the robust education sector and consistently advocating for academic freedoms in Zimbabwe, has a mandate to shade off the irregularities now at alarming levels within the once adorable nation of Zimbabwe. Alive to the fact that the relevant authorities are now reluctant to rectify visible educational crisis, a student convention was held from the 13th to 15th of August 2010 where it was resolved that students will take to task "any means necessary" to make sure that the students' plight is addressed. Pursuant to the student voice, a 23 member extended National Executive Council meeting, with 11 elected at bi-annual congress and 2 members provincial executive, sat on the 3rd of October where they resonated to a mass lecture boycott with effect from 18 October 2010 to pave way for a fresh start by January 2011.

The talented but poor will not peacefully co-exist with those who illegitimately amassed wealth at their expense.
