Midlands State University opens for a new semester
Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU)
January 24, 2011

Midlands State University (MSU) opened today for its new semester and lectures are expected to commence rolling with effect from this day. Students however as usual are clamoring about the lack of decent accommodation as the university facilities cannot cater for all who are in dire need of it.

The university authorities notified the students that those who will have paid at least 75% of the tuition fees are the ones entitled to enter the lecture rooms. The Student Representative Council is bound to have a meeting with the Registrar name supplied as Taguta over this sensitive issue.

Meanwhile the National University of Science and Technology will be closing its doors for this semester tomorrow the 25th of January 2011 with the second semester commencing on the 7th of February 2011. Lupane State University (LSU) will kick-off its new semester on the 31st of January 2011 and the SRC has managed to negotiate with the administrative authorities to allow students who will have paid a minimum of US$200 to register.

ZINASU President Obert Masaraure lambasted at a ZINASU organized public meeting in Harare last week that the government for its lack of sincerity to construct LSU in the rural parts of Lupane as it is not benefiting in any way the people of that area. The government should desist from using the idea of having LSU as a political gimmick.
