In an interview with Newsreel Wednesday the President of the Zimbabwe National Students Union, Clever Bere said students are being denied the opportunity to learn and finish their academic programmes on time. No official reason for the delay has been communicated to the students. Bere said all they saw on national television was the University of Zimbabwe Vice Chancellor Levy Nyagura appealing to the corporate sector to chip in and help fund the colleges.
With the exception of Bindura University all other colleges remain closed amid rumours the responsible Ministry has already exhausted its 2008 budget.
