Minister pledges fees for 1 000 varsity students

YOUTH deputy minister Tinoda Machakaire has pledged to source funds for 1 000 students at tertiary institutions, a gesture which has been welcomed by the higher education learners.

On Wednesday, Zimbabwe Congress of Students Union (Zicosu) executive members met with Machakaire, who requested a database of at least 100 students.

Machakaire said gone were the days when people used to make promises and fail to fulfil them.
