As student leaders we are told to refrain from politics or being political, we are supposed to be apolitical they say 

How can we afford to be apolitical when political decisions affect our every day life at these tertiary institutions , when political decisions are passed by unsympathetic , self aggrandizing politicians threatening our very existence from these tertiary institutions .

Comrades it was a political decision that said parastatals will not receive funding from the government.
It was...

As the students we have been forced to pay for the government `s ma-la administration , to pay for its mismanagement of our national resources.I will remind the politicians , the once gallant sons and daughters of the soil that the educational crisis that was prevalent during the colonial era was one of the reasons why Zimbabweans of yester year went to the bush.

 We are certainly no lesser Zimbabweans than those who went to war to demand academic freedoms , liberties and justice, nor are we a...

As a students movement we have lost our cause, ideology and principle. The movement is now full of students who seek self gain but the bible tells us that to gain your life you have to lose it. So the same applies to us today, to obtain self gain in the long run we have to sacrifice ourselves in the short run through selfless acts. Truly one day history will judge us rightly.

We have spend the whole day having solidarity messages foregoing our core business as students movement. The biggest pr...

 So I made up my mind to voice my concerns about the misplaced priorities my government seems to display time and again. Two issues published by different media houses this sometime ago caught my attention and i couldn’t let them go just like that. The first issue being, a deal signed...
