This is deeply disheartening 💔 imagine preparing tirelessly for a final O-Level exam, only to be held back at the door over fees and lose more than 10 crucial minutes School fees issues are between the school administration and parents….. Students should never bear the psychological burden or academic penalty especially right before sitting for an exam Every candidate deserves a fair chance to write peacefully

I am honoured to be featured in the September edition of the SAFRAP Newsletter, themed “Student Wellbeing, Hope and Resilience,” for my contribution “The Right to Hope.” Students deserve more than the ability to survive the present, they deserve a future they can believe in and the power to shape it, that is to say the future must not be built on students’ ability to endure hardship, but on our collective commitment to transforming the conditions that make that hardship inevitable. The RIGHT TO HOPE is the right to imagine, organise and build a better future

Thank you, Manicaland!💙💙 Strengthening our grassroots and engaging with students continues to reaffirm our commitment to the struggle for affordable, if not free, quality and relevant education.

Even in the most hostile political environment, we remain committed to being on the ground, strengthening our structures and mobilising students towards our shared goal. Consistency, Commitment and Cooperation. Until Victory!!!

On 16 July 2026, I took a constitutional challenge to the Constitutional Court of Zimbabwe. I filed an application for leave for direct access to the Constitutional Court, challenging the constitutionality of Section 121(8) of the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act [Chapter 9:07]. The respondents are the Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs @ZiyambiZ and the Attorney General of Zimbabwe. @VirginiaMabhiza I have brought this matter not only in my own capacity as a Zimbabwean citizen, but in the public interest. As a student activist, human rights activist and Secretary General of the Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU), I believe that the Constitution must remain the supreme law of our country and that every citizen must enjoy equal protection and benefit of the law. The question I am asking is simple: Why should the right to appeal a bail decision depend on the offence with which a person has been charged? Section 121(8) creates a distinction in the avenues available to accused persons challenging bail decisions. My case is that this distinction raises serious constitutional questions concerning: 1. Equality before the law — Section 56(1) The law should not create unjustified differences in the protection and benefit afforded to people before the courts. 2. Access to the courts — Section 69(3) The Constitution protects the right of everyone to have their disputes determined by a court of law. My argument is that Section 121(8) limits access to the Supreme Court in bail matters for some accused persons. 3. The Supreme Court as the final court of appeal — Section 169(1) The Constitution provides for the Supreme Court as the final court of appeal in Zimbabwe. My challenge questions whether ordinary legislation can remove that avenue of appeal for a particular category of accused persons. The limitation is a blanket prohibition. It is overbroad, arbitrary and cannot be justified in a democratic society founded on human dignity, equality and freedom. People are being denied bail in the High Court right now with nowhere else to go. I have asked the Constitutional Court for direct access because this is a matter of public importance and there is no other effective remedy. I am not asking for special treatment. I am asking whether all Zimbabweans should enjoy equal access to justice, particularly at a stage where an accused person remains protected by the presumption of innocence. #StrikeDown121(8) #EqualityBeforeTheLaw #AccessToJustice
