Zimbabwe: Evicted Student Doctor Takes Uz to Court

THE University of Zimbabwe (UZ) and its vice chancellor, Professor Levi Nyagura, have been dragged to the High Court by a student who is challenging the institution's decision to evict him from campus accommodation.

The student, represented by Bellinda Chinowawa and Noble Chinhanu of Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, is among the scores of medicine students punished by eviction for engaging in a peaceful protest against an over 30 percent fees hike to be effected by the university beginning August 1. The case is set for hearing this Wednesday.
