Bulawayo Polytechnic is reportedly demanding fees from students exclusively in United States Dollars (USD) in violation of the government’s policy that stipulates that goods and services should be paid in local currency or foreign currencies in the country’s multi-currency basket.
A student who requested anonymity fearing victimisation from the institution’s authorities told <a href="https://cite.org.zw/bulawayo-polytechnic-students-protest-usd-fees/">CITE</a> that on 04 January they received a memorandum requiring them to settle their fees in USD. Said the student:
<blockquote>
The memo didn’t indicate the RTGS account details that give us an option of paying in local currency as we were used to. l had already paid part of my fees using the bank rate last year.
But when we went to Accounts this week to clear our arrears, we were informed we were not supposed to pay in RTGS as the fees were now strictly USD.
</blockquote>
The student said the Accounts Department told them to “write an application letter for a refund then pay the fees in USD”.
Bulawayo Polytechnic has not officially informed students to pay fees strictly in USD apart from the accountant’s verbal announcement and the 04 January 2024 memo.
A concerned parent claimed they had already paid fees in Zimbabwe dollars (RTGS) and were told they would be refunded and have to pay again in USD. Said the parent:
<blockquote>
I have a daughter doing a Diploma with Bulawayo Polytechnic. I paid for her school fees last year using RTGS after converting the USD fees using the prevailing exchange rate.
Surprisingly, I received a call from my daughter telling me the school bursar says the fees should be paid strictly in USD.
Forcing a currency is against the government’s practice. Last year the school had a memorandum that said fees can be paid in RTGS using the prevailing exchange rate.
What is worrying us is the school doesn’t want to hear anything from us as the parents.
</blockquote>
Another guardian told CITE they had tried to engage the principal but she refused to entertain them. Said the guardian:
<blockquote>
The principal was not in the mood to entertain us. I wanted to engage her and enlighten her on how unreasonable, unethical and illegal that practice is but unfortunately, she refused.
We then spoke to another Head of Department who said they can only inform us about the policy of the institution.
</blockquote>
When contacted for comment by CITE, the institution’s public relations department said that Bulawayo Polytechnic Principal, Chiedza Masanganise, was travelling and would return next Monday.
Zimbabwe officially dollarised in April 2009 and adopted a basket of multiple currencies dominated by the United States dollar and South African rand.
In 2019, the Government announced the Zimbabwean dollar as the sole legal tender in the country through Statutory Instrument 142 of 2019.
The ban on the US dollar in domestic transactions was reversed with the promulgation of SI 85 of 2020, which allowed consumers to legally pay for goods and services using foreign currency.
In October 2023, the Government extended the multi-currency system, which was supposed to end in 2025, to 2030.

Bulawayo Polytechnic Demand USD Fees

Bulawayo Polytechnic has introduced a new dress code for students, banning certain types of attire on campus and at all functions hosted by the college outside the campus.
According to a notice to students issued on 15 November 2022, the institution has banned ripped jeans, blouses that leave the stomach out, string, sleeveless and off-shoulder tops and dresses.
Tops and dresses that reveal cleavages and the back, biker and bum shorts; skin tights and other tight-fitting clothes, see-through clothes and skirts, shorts and dresses that are more than five centimetres above the knees are no longer allowed.
The wearing of caps in class and offices has been banned and male students are no longer allowed to wear any headgear except on religious grounds.
Dropping of trousers and shorts and wearing slippers is not allowed by the institution.
Bulawayo Polytechnic Principal, Chiedza Masanganise explained that the students’ dress code is in line with the institution’s mandate to train and groom professionals for commerce and industry. She added:
<blockquote>
If not properly dressed, the student will be asked to correct before accessing any Bulawayo Polytechnic facility and lectures.
As an institution, we encourage you to be dressed according to your trade.
</blockquote>
Journalist Hopewell Chin’ono described the new dress code as “Sharia Law”, in reference to a religious law that lays down governing principles for spiritual, mental, and physical behavior that must be followed by Muslims.

Bulawayo Polytechnic principal, Engineer Gilbert Mabasa has died from Covid-19 related complications.
<a href="https://www.sundaynews.co.zw/byo-polytechnic-principal-dies/">The Sunday News reports</a> that Eng Mabasa died on Friday.
Engineer Mabasa has been at the helm of the Bulawayo Polytechnic since 2014.
Sources from the institution told The Sunday News that Eng Mabasa succumbed to the pandemic on Friday evening.
He has been admitted to a local hospital since 6 August after testing positive for the pandemic.
Eng Mabasa announced in a statement when he tested positive for Covid-19:
<blockquote>
Following my testing positive to Covid- 19 on Friday 06 August, I was admitted into Hospital in Isolation and for treatment.
I have chosen to inform you all as your Team Leader so that you don’t depend on social media or other gossip lines. Now that you know the truth that truth shall set you free from gaps in critical information. I am safe in God’s providence and thankful for the great medical teams that are committed to serving in case the forefront. Covid-19 is real and respecter of no one. However, God is also God and in control of everything.
</blockquote>
Mabasa’s death comes as the government has directed that<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/08/25/govt-announces-dates-for-schools-reopening/"> schools reopen at the end of the month</a> amid opposition from teachers’ unions which are saying <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/08/27/school-reopening-teachers-parents-ambushed-ptuz/">learning institutions are not adequately prepared for reopening.</a>
Stakeholders fear that schools will be hotspots for the coronavirus as was the case with some institutions like <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/05/28/update-bondolfi-college-declared-covid-19-hotspot/">Bondolfi teachers College</a> early this year.

Bulawayo Polytechnic Principal Eng Mabasa Has Died

Bulawayo Polytechnic College has put all students in their residency in isolation after three contracted the coronavirus.
Off campus students have been barred from coming to school so as to contain the outbreak.
According to an internal memorandum to lecturers, ancillary staff and students, the institution’s principal, Engineer Gilbert Mabasa said all resident students will isolate at the institution’s hostels. Said Mabasa:
<blockquote>Following the testing positive of three resident students as of last night, the health authorities have advised that non-resident students stay at home while residents are tested to establish the extent of the positive cases. Resident Students are to isolate in their hostels.
There is need for all staff members to be tested for a complete picture of the current situation.
Accordingly, every nonresident student should be in self-isolation at home pending further instructions from the appropriate authorities.
Stay tuned to our groups for updates. Please inform all members in your areas of responsibility accordingly.</blockquote>
Mabasa later told The Sunday News that they had decided to take the measures so as to help contain the pandemic.
