No loans, no lectures
Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU)
January 21, 2011

The around 200 hundred students who gathered in Harare gardens today 21 January 2011 declared in no uncertain terms that they are going to disengage from any institutional business until and after the loans and grant scheme becomes a reality. The students had been drawn from tertiary institutions from within Harare hoping to get an opportunity to interface with the Ministries of Finance and Higher Education in relation to the funding policy for 2011.

The erstwhile Ministers disappointed by failing to pitch up to clarify on the new policy of loans and grants which replaced the unpopular cadetship. Students however vowed to fight hard to ensure that the loan scheme is revived. Students Represantative Council leaders from Harare and Mashonaland also seized the opportunity to share their common challenges from different colleges and resolved to continuously work together to tackle these challenges.

The Students were addressed by ZINASU president Obert Masaraure, SST officers Simba Moyo and Masimba Kuchera and all the ZINASU NEC members present.

ZINASU shall convene similar meetings in other administrative regions with or without the Ministers.
