Just last week, most state university students missed lectures due to the ongoing strike. Lupane state university lecturers were on go-slow while some missed lectures. The same happened with Great Zimbabwe university together with the one in Bindura. National University of Science and Technology followed suit after the government failed to pay them their 2014 bonuses and February dues.
The worst scenario happened when students in the University of Zimbabwe demonstrated when they were slapped with closed dining hall doors and lecture rooms on their faces. The eviction from hostels and campus infuriated the students even more. They marched in the institution grounds and outside the university premises calling out for service since they paid their fees. Non academics and academics were demanding their dues thats why a strike had to take place. Students were however instructed to go back to class as lectures had resumed with allegations that lectures had received their pays.
This therefore tends to be a cause for concern because it looks like people affected have to demonstrate for the government to take action. Does it mean students have to protest for the government to do something. Students at Nust were also affected by the strike twice in one semester and there hasnt been any demonstration taking place that is why the strike has repeated itself. Does this mean students have to cry fowl for them to get their service.
UZ lecturers joined their counterparts from Great Zimbabwe University,
Midlands State University, National University of Science and Technology
and Midlands State University counterparts in the industrial action.
