Univesrity students called off an initial demo.

Student union bodies from Malawi’s public universities have cancelled their planned demonstration which were scheduled to take place at the parliament building in Lilongwe.

The demos at parliament were to be held with an aim of lobbying parliamentarians to intervene on government’s delays to issue tuition loans to needy students in public universities in the country.

Following a three day ultimatum which the student union leadership gave government, the Malawi government through the National Council for Higher Learning released names of successful students who have been granted university loans comprising tuition and stationery allowances.

Loan scheme for public university students has been marred with lack of enough funds as beneficiaries of past government loans have not yet squared their dues.

  4. Something will still come up and people will demonstrate, with a new reason. At the College of Medicine where there are 1400+ students, only 255, I repeat, 255, have been considered for the loan. I saw the list from Poly and I don’t think akwana 500. If the rest are not considered, ndithu….

    1. is everyone entitled to be given the loan? where will the money come from. Mukalandiranso loan’yo mumangoiseweretsa like nobody is pained to see you squander his tax money. amene ali private university ndalamazo ukuona ngati amatchola mumtengo. find means to get educated osamangodalira boma zili zonse (from primary education, to medical help in govt hospitals eish ai tiyeni tizizidalila patokha). Coz of this syndrome amalawi ali so lazy even akayamba ntchito m’boma amakhalira kucheza basi.

    1. It could be better that you understood the reasons 4 cancelling demo before comenting abwana. They are saying demos have been cancelled because they have been granted what they wanted & what could make them go for demos “release of names of beneficiaries on students loans” & NOT cowardness
