The students said
they pay ZWL$30 000 for food and accommodation, however, the authorities
decided to change the food schedule without any communication.
“We are not getting
enough food quantities and we are no longer receiving breakfast we only get
lunch around 2 pm and supper around 7 pm. At times you find them throwing away
food while we are hungry,” said one student.
He said upon inquiring some students were only told that
bread is now expensive hence the Institution could not afford to provide them
with breakfast.
A standard loaf of bread now cost ZWL640 up from ZWL$450.
“These days it is very cold imagine eating around 2 pm
without having eaten anything since morning,” said the source.
The learners highlighted that the decent meal they are
getting is Isitshwala with cabbage.
Another student added that they were told that where the
institution used to buy food, the prices have gone up for the institution to
limit food rations.
“Someone also told us that where they used to buy food is
now expensive, this is just information from the grapevine, the authorities
haven’t really said anything to us,” he said.
Contacted for a comment, the college secretary said she is
not allowed to speak with the media before dropping the call.
The receptionist however said the administrator is in
Harare but could not share more details with the reporter. CITE
