University of Malawi Students Union (Umsu) yesterday gave the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST) a 72-hour ultimatum to address the recently announced students’ financial contribution or face undisclosed urgent action. Dressed in red and black, and with heavy police presence, the eight Umsu members representing thousands of University of Malawi (Unima) students carried placards and sang songs condemning Unima Council’s decision to raise fees for mature and generic students. They marched from Total Filling Station near Presidential Road to Lilongwe City Council (LCC) offices where they delivered their petition.The march follows an announcement by Unima Council that mature entry students will now be paying K900 000 at Chancellor College (Chanco), K1.4 million at College of Medicine (CoM), K1 million at Kamuzu College of Nursing (KCN) and K950 000 at the Polytechnic.Umsu president Tiwonge Sikwese said generic students will have to pay K500 000 at CoM, K380 000 at the Polytechnic, K320 000 at Chanco and K340 000 at KCN from the current K275 000 across the board. In the picture, the students hoist placards to stress their case
