Byo Poly students in demo over ‘eviction’

AT least 200 students from the Bulawayo Polytechnic College on Wednesday evening staged a demonstration after the institution’s administration ordered them to vacate their hostels to pave way for Grade Seven examination markers.
Disgruntled students who spoke to Chronicle said they were shocked when the Dean of Students’ office issued notices informing them to look for alternative accommodation as their hostels would be used by the markers.

The demonstration started at 7pm when students, who were chanting slogans and dancing, besieged the campus                                                                     dining hall which was occupied by the markers who had just arrived at the college.

The students accused the acting college principal, Mr Gilbert Mabasa, of taking them for granted and failing to communicate the development to them on time. – Chronicle.
