SW Radio Africa News: Over 33 students arrested during countrywide demos

Around 33 students were arrested countrywide on Monday after they staged a series of demonstrations protesting high tuition fees and the political deadlock in the country. The protests were held in Harare, Bulawayo, Gweru and Masvingo in what the Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU) said was also a way to commemorate the March 2008 elections which ‘marked Zimbabwe’s closest ever shot at democracy.
