ATT NUSTIANS: STUDENTS’ BUS

Following my appointment as NUST SRC President, we came together with my team and came up with a strategy on delivering on the things that were critical to students. One of these issues was that to do with the students’ bus levy. We communicated with the admin and in January, we agreed to buy a 71 seater bus and a minibus.

We went to seek a bus that was within the budget, and found 3 potential suitors to the need we had. Of the three, a process to tender was opened in February, but was closed because of changes within SPB to PRAZ. Again the process resumed in March, to cut the story short, we found suppliers who fitted the tender.

The minibus came earlier, I showed you the pictures earlier. Unfortunately it was met with ridicule as people thought it was all we had in plan. Today is share the news that the 71 seater bus has arrived. ZIMRA has seen the vehicle, and I can safely say students now have a bus which belongs to them and they will determine how they want to use it.

You can charge your phone on the bus, via USB ports on each seat. You can keep your drinks cold when going on a journey, using the fridge that’s on the bus. Enjoy the ride.

Special thanks to the team that’s always worked close with me and made this delivery pursuit a relentless one.

RE: TOWARDS A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO CHALLENGES IN TERTIARY EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS.

Zimbabwe is blessed with an intelligent people, people who are willing to learn and use their knowledge to make a difference. These people make up a significant chunk of the nation’s population and are housed in the tertiary education sector.

The events of the past two months show that there is much need for improvement in how the environments our students spend much of their time in are conducive.

We first saw NUST, going for over 4 weeks without learning, with lecturers on strike over working conditions. Is this something that could not have been fixed before it erupted and ended up affecting the students? Yes it could be fixed, but we lack a proactive leadership that deals with situations before they become problems.

Last week we saw students from Harare Institute of Technology and Great Zimbabwe University protesting. The issues they protest over, are issues of service delivery which can be resolved before they explode and cause significant damage to the future of the people we anticipate to be the leaders of the future. As I write this, I also hear reports that the Zimbabwe School of Mines is in protest over lack of proper service delivery. Who knows, maybe tomorrow another institution will have students protesting. But that should not be what we expect, our expectation is that the problems we are facing across all institutions are known, and there should be an action plan towards resolving them.

If we look at all the instances where disturbances are happening to learning, we can all see how there is need for a paradigm shift in how our tertiary institutions are managed and run. At this day and age, in this Dispensation, I do not find it fair that students still should be going on strike so that they can get the attention of their leaders. It sends a wrong message about our culture, and it also conditions our people to be people who will shun negotiating in the future and rather take drastic approaches, even when the decisions to do so are premature.

Our universities have to be competing at the world stage. They should be the envy of surrounding countries. Our universities should be well resourced, and properly run, in such a way that brings pride to the nation of Zimbabwe. As we consider our national brand, the education sector plays a key role, because products of this system will be ambassadors to the countries they go to deliver services.

May through your ministry a new culture of proactively be cultivated. We will not progress much if our leadership waits for disasters to happen so that they can move. We will not progress much if the only language that can be heard is striking and protesting. We can do better than that.

I believe in the future of our nation. I believe in the potential within us. I believe in how much our youth can flourish, as long as we create the right environments for them. I believe in your capacity and competency to restore a culture of anticipating problems and dealing with them before situations get out of hand. I am sure that this is the belief in any and every other students’ leader who hopes for the best for our country.

I look forward to a transformation in our tertiary education sector; towards a more proactive approach to challenges before they blossom into challenges.

God bless you.
God bless our nation, Zimbabwe.

Humble Regards.

“A time has to come where each and every one of us pays attention to the problems at NUST, and thinks of a sustainable solution towards it, and propose it to those who can push it forward with determination and enthusiasm. Those who are in power, should have it within them to listen to ideas and suggestions, proposals and ideas from others, and implement them with the same dedication as they would their own. A better NUST is possible, it’s about us.” Pablo T Chimusoro

WCW: PRINCESS MPOFU

Great leadership board requires a lady to help out in securing the best results possible. Our 2017 SRC board will not be enough is we don't vote Princess to be part of them.

Who, apart from a lady, can know another lady's struggles on campus. Who can pursue to justice womenly concerns at NUST apart from a woman. Who can represent all with concern other than a female with a heart that is always looking out for others.

Princess Mpofu is a part 4 Journalism and Media Studies student. She is passionate about giving a voice to the voiceless. She believe women need a strong voice in everything to prove they are capable.

She is a part of a club called student runet which seeks to give a voice on issues that are happening at Nust.

Princess is also passionate about modelling, she participated in Miss Nust 2015 pegeant in which she became the second Princess. She has been part of the organising comittee for miss Nust, as well as training the models in 2016 and 2017.

With a zeal to bring about change at Nust and making sure that students are fairly represented, she has decided to run for Councilor in the upcoming SRC elections.

NUST decide to vote for Princess Mpofu come the 26th of October 2017

The Tuesday leadership profile: Tariro H Kagoro

As the 26th of October 2017 is nearing, important is for the NUST ladies and gentlemen to be equipped so that they make informed decisions.

Who better to lead you than a soul that is determined to see the growth of students power prevailing at NUST. Who better to lead you than someone who has your best interests at heart.

One Tariro H kagoro is a true example of leadership and if you allow him this chance then true meaning of leadership at NUST can be defined.

Kagoro is a second year student studying civil and Water engineering.

"I'm a man who wishes to see the majority of the people being empowered. I'm a man who believes in making things technical and practical. I believe that if each individual is equipped with a practical skill they will be able to sustain themselves." He said. He wishes all to be about us the people he will serve.

" I also believe in supporting talent. As much academic as we can be we need our talents to back us up." He believes in different strengths and the importance of recognizing all.

"I'm a person who loves sporting activities, singing and writing books (motivational) but above all I love serving people justly.

Change comes from making a decision to vote for the best candidate. NUST decide to do the principle thing of your hearts and vote for Kagoro and Team NSC.

We are determined to see NUST Great Again. Allow this change by voting us into strategic positions.

MCM : KUDAKWASHE CHIKONDOWA

It has come that time of the year in which the important stakeholders (Students) at NUST get to choose who best can represent them.

Seriously committed people with their best interests at heart is always what they seek.

Here is a leader from team Nust Students Council. A party with members who live to serve students. Kudakwashe Chikondowa, is one leader with a history that served its purpose during the 2016- 2017 academic year. His experience " was so exciting and managed to learn more which I wish to explore this year," he said.

His history is packed with greatness and has proven he can lead NUST and he says even better this year.

The Part 3 leader studying Architecture is a certified SRC leader who in the previous year managed to be the Minister of Entertainment. In his tenure NUST saw the presence of "lit gigs" and the best, unforgettable and"lit-full"Miss NUST that most of us still talk about today.

For Chikondowa it didnt start with being an SRC member it started with being a Student Activist who Led the plan movement nationally and pertitioned Jonathan Moyo and succeeded. Having such a motivated leader guarantees, he will serve the people he represents. Putting him in power is equipping him with more power to excel in fighting your struggles.

Chikondowa also said he is "Motivated by the power of love and not the love of power.I will not tire until,the major stakeholders (students)of the institution are satisfied!!!!"

Let us all empower and enable Kudakwashe to be part of this year's leadership.

As NSC we urge all NUST Students to vote and be the change they want to see as the year progresses. Your votes count and help in Making Nust Great Again.

Vote for Kudakwashe Chikondowa
