UZ Students Protest Increase In Kombi Fares
9 October 2018
By Own Correspondent| Irked by the recent price increase of kombi fares, University of Zimbabwe students registered their displeasure over the development by staging a peaceful protest at the university campus yesterday.
The students, who chanted a few songs before dispersing said the kombi increase, which saw them folk 0.75 cents against the previous fare of 0.50 cents had negative consequences on their right and access to education.
Said one student only identified as Maxwell:
“We are already struggling to make ends meet and the increase would see some of us walk to and from town to college,
Whatever is happening should be resolved because we will fail to attend school because of financial constraints.”
