…as students block US second lady Dr. Jill Biden convoy 

Irked b the noise perhaps villagers around Matawale and Chinamwali  areas in the city of Zomba have joined another grouping of Chancellor College students who are in a cat and rat chase with police officers in the city.

As we reported, the students are protesting against the decision by the University of Malawi (Unima) to raise fees for generic and mature students.

Villagers joined the battles.
Villagers joined the battles.

Some of the students had to run away to villages around the city in fear of being arrested by the police.

But police who followed the students around met the wrath of villagers who claimed to have been disturbed and therefore rallied behind the law enforcers in the running battles.

The demos started yesterday.

As this post was made, the students blocked the way for a convoy that was carrying the US Second lady Jill Biden who is on a three day visit in the country.

The college has since been closed.
