ZINASU welcomes back vice board chairperson Gumbo
Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU)
March 18, 2011

On Wednesday the High Court of Zimbabwe granted bail to Hopewell Gumbo, Munyaradzi Gwisai and four other social justice activists. The six were part of the forty-five activists arrested for allegedly plotting to initiate the Egyptian or Tunisian style of revolution in Zimbabwe. Part of the group was granted bail on the 7th of March 2011, but Gwisai and Gumbo remained behind bars.

Gumbo a programs officer at the Zimbabwe Coalition and Debt and Development (ZIMCODD) is the former president of the Zimbabwe National Students Union and is currently serving as ZINASU's advisory board vice chairperson. ZINASU reiterates that Gumbo's involvement in the gathering was to understand some political changes taking place in North Africa, with no intention at all to over through the current government of national unity.

ZINASU is however consoled by the release of vice board chairperson Gumbo whose unwavering support to the students cause is undaunted.
