A Food Science lecturer at Lupane State University (LSU) has ventured into the tinned onion business.
Mr Makhosi Mahlangu (38) started his project as a way to assist a student whose mother was failing to pay fees due to an unfortunate event that led to low onion sales. 
Mahlangu purchased the excess onions from her, marking his first tinned onion product which he produced under the Lupane Veggie Guys Company, which he is part of. He told <a href="https://www.sundaynews.co.zw/lupane-lecturer-produces-tinned-onion/">The Sunday News</a>:
<blockquote>
There was a student who is from St Paul’s in Lupane and has parents who planted a lot of onions whose proceeds were meant to help pay her school fees. They produced excess onions and it so happened that there was an oversupply of onions on the market. As a lecturer involved in food developing programmes, I realised that I had to play a role in helping this family. I am also part of the Lupane Veggie Guys and as a team, we decided to make a product of value from my initiative. 
We procured 2X50kg of onions which managed to give us 80 bottles which were sold at US$1.50 each. Before that I had ordered four bunches of onions from the university farm. We did market research at the university where we did a sensory evaluation. The 80 bottles sold out in less than two days.
</blockquote>
Mahlangu said his recipe encompassed indigenous herbs found in Lupane that made the onion taste immensely good. 
He said the idea is to develop the herbs and make raw onion eating a delicacy for many. 
The ingredients also combine to create their own natural preservatives. These are:
<blockquote>
i). onions, 
ii). salt, 
iii). water, 
iv). vinegar and 
v). indigenous herbs. 
</blockquote>
80 grammes serving of raw onion provides 0.8g of protein, 6.4g of carbohydrates, 5.0g of sugars, 1.8 fire and 2.0 mg of Vitamin C. 
Mahlangu said they used hibiscus sabdariffa, sandambe in Ndebele, which is found in the Lupane District and used as a tomato.

Lupane State University Lecturer Ventures Into Tinned Onion Business

<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Great_Zimbabwe_University">Great Zimbabwe University (GZU)</a> has lost 50 members of staff through a brain drain since January this year.
GZU vice-chancellor <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Rungano_Zvobgo">Rungano Zvobgo</a> said the mass staff exodus was affecting the successful implementation of the Education 5.0 policy, NewsDay reported. Zvobgo said at the institution’s graduation ceremony recently:
<blockquote>
This year alone, we lost 50 members of staff through resignations, five of them were PhD holders. This has negatively impacted our critical mass of specialised human resources.
</blockquote>
The trend is said to be common amongst state institutions as educators, and non-academic staff, are leaving the country in search of greener pastures.
The president of the Association of University Teachers of UZ, Zvakanyorwa Wilbert Sadomba and secretary-general Rekopantswe Mate wrote to UZ vice-chancellor Paul Mapfumo in July complaining over poor salaries and working conditions. The union leaders said in a memo:
<blockquote>
Your non-consultative and non-participatory approach to administration has caused an unprecedented decline in morale leading to an exodus of experts in vital fields such as medicine.
</blockquote>
College Lecturers Association of Zimbabwe president David Dzatsunga said lecturers at State institutions have turned destitute. Dzatsunga said:
<blockquote>
Quite a number of lecturers are leaving for the diaspora especially because of the low salaries and poor conditions of service incomparable with counterparts in the region and internationally.
</blockquote>
Workers in state-owned higher learning institutions are among several groups of workers who have periodically embarked on industrial action in recent years.

Great Zimbabwe University Lecturers Resign En Masse

The government says fees at local tertiary institutions were lower compared to their regional counterparts, despite the <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/state-universities-raise-fees-uz-introduces-discounts/">recent tuition fee hike by over 450%.</a>
Leader of government business in Parliament and Justice Minister, Ziyambi Ziyambi, Wednesday told legislators that the hike was justifiable considering that tertiary education fees had not been increased for almost two years when inflation was rising.
Ziyambi was responding to Magwegwe MP, Anele Ndebele who had raised concern about the increase of tuition fees by institutions, about a fortnight ago.
Ndebele asked:
<blockquote>
State university fees have gone up 450% with the ministry’s approval, which is really insensitive. I want to check with the leader of government business if there is a deliberate policy thrust by our government to cushion the majority poor, who cannot afford to finance higher education because it must not be a preserve for the rich?
</blockquote>
In response, Ziyambi said:
<blockquote>
 State university fees have not been increased for over one and half years. Honourable Members are quite alive that a lot has happened within that particular period.
If you compare when the fees were pegged at the current structure that has been reviewed and the cost of living that was there including salaries, you will realise that there was a need for a review to be done.
When you compare the fees with what is obtaining in the region, we are the cheapest. Be that as it may, our State universities have come up with programmes to ensure that our students are cushioned in terms of having payment plans, access to loans and other support services that can be given.
</blockquote>
When President Mnangagwa made similar remarks about a fortnight ago, critics said the government must not compare fees with those of institutions in the region considering that there is a huge variance between salaries of local workers compared to their colleagues in the region.

Govt Says Fees In Local Tertiary Institutions Are The Cheapest In The Region

State universities in the country have raised their tuition fees for the August to December 2022 semester citing the need to cover operational costs.
Lupane State University (LSU) released its new fee structure effective 1 August 2022 with the fees ranging from $179 000 to a high of $472 500. Read a notice to students:
<blockquote>
The fees as contained in the LSU Fees Ordinance Number 1 of 2022 effective from 1 August 2022 to 31 December 2022. The fees are charged per semester. Students are required to pay 60 percent fees and register.
</blockquote>
<h2>Fees per Faculty:</h2>
<blockquote>
1). Faculties of Agricultural Sciences and Engineering and Applied Sciences – $285 000 per semester 
2). Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences – $279 750 
3). Diplomas – $298 000.
4). Faculty of Commerce – $179 750 for this semester
5). Post-graduate degree students – $472 500.
6). Students in conventional programmes – $100 000 for accommodation 
7). Students on block release – $40 000 before residence allocation. 
</blockquote>
LSU director of marketing and public relations Mr Zwelithini Dlamini said they had adjusted levies and not tuition fees, according to <a href="https://www.sundaynews.co.zw/universities-adjust-fees-structures/">Sunday News</a>.
The University of Zimbabwe has, however, proposed that students who are unable to pay tuition fees must be enrolled in a work-study programme that caters for students unable to cover the costs. 
UZ also introduced payment plans to ensure that students can pay their fees in a convenient and flexible manner.
Discounts for tuition fees have also been introduced at UZ with those that pay 100 percent of fees enjoying a 12.5 percent discount, those that pay 75 percent will enjoy a 10 percent discount while those that are able to pay 50 percent will get a five percent discount, only if all these payments are made by 31 October. 
They, however, maintained that no student was going to miss out on learning time or fail to write examinations due to non-payment of tuition.
The National University of Science and Technology (NUST) has requested that students pay between $270 420 and $284 700 for undergraduate degrees while post-graduate degree programmes will see students parting with between $360 000 and $714 000 per semester. The university also announced that students can make payment plans to clear their fees with a requirement of 60 percent of total fees being paid in order for them to register.

Lupane State University's New Fee Structure

Lupane State University has reportedly declared Kudakwashe Mnangagwa as the Students’ Executive Council President after no contender was nominated. 
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Kudakwashe_Mnangagwa">Kudakwashe David Mnangagwa’s profile.</a></li>
</ul>
A notice purported to have been issued by the university’s dean of students, Dr Ncube, noted that Mnangagwa was the only prospective candidate. Reads the notice:
<blockquote>
<h2>NOTICE TO ALL STUDENTS </h2>
<h2>Students Executive Council Elections </h2>
Nominations for the Post of SEC President closed on Friday, 8 October 2021. Only one prospective candidate, Kudakwashe Mnangagwa L0180173E, a Part 4.1 student doing a Bachelor of Science Honours Degree in Tourism and Hospitality Management was nominated by at least ten registered conventional students, as required by the SEC constitution. 
Kudakwashe Mnangagwa is therefore duly nominated. As he is the only candidate, he is declared the SEC President unopposed for the 2021-2022 academic year. 
Dr H Ncube DEAN OF STUDENTS 
</blockquote>
Responding to the notice, exiled former Higher and Tertiary Education Minister, Professor Jonathan Moyo suggested that Mnangagwa was imposed. He said:
<blockquote>
What is this nonsense about at Lupane State University? Has the University imposed a Kudakwashe MNANGAGWA to be its SRC president? Is this the tyranny of a “presidential” SURNAME? Whatever it is; it’s offensive and requires an explanation from @lupane_state authorities!
</blockquote>
Students politics is usually influenced by national politics. Main students’ unions in the country, ZINASU and ZICOSU, in that order, are aligned to opposition MDC and governing ZANU PF.

Lupane State University has announced new meal prices which will be effective from the 10th of this month. The reviewed prices come at the backdrop of skyrocketing inflation partly because of the local currency’s loss of value against other currencies.
The development is likely to create issues to many students who depend on guardians for funding. Tertiary institutions are resuming studies for final year students.
