UZ ‘mbanje cake’ student reinstated

THE High Court has reinstated a University of Zimbabwe (UZ) student who was suspended by the institution’s Vice-Chancellor Paul Mapfumo after he served his colleague with a cake laced with mbanje.

Takudzwa Calvin Nyazema had dragged the UZ and its vice-chancellor to the High Court seeking an order declaring the decision to suspend him barely 24 hours before his end of first semester examinations null and void.

He also sought an order declaring the suspension in breach of the Rules of Student Conduct and Discipline Ordinances, Ordinance No 30.
