UZ TO HIGHFIELD CONNECT
Accommodation prices being charged by the UZ institutions and locations around the UZ campus which include Mt pleasant, Avondale etc is enormous.
Houses in this locations charge around 60usd to 180usd which is not affordable to average citizen of Zimbabwe, Considering that the largest population of UZ student come from a bracket of civil servants which earn an average of 1000rtgs to 2000rtgs per month which is 40usd to 80usd in USD equivalents.
The Landlords of locations around UZ have taken a monopoly over the UZ off campus accommodation thereby are charging high prices.
Through this we discovered that they is need for an extensive accommodation plan to help many student coming from far away places like Bulawayo, Mutare etc not to fall into the trap of paying high prices for on and off campus accommodation thus the creation of UZ TO HIGHFIELD CONNECT .
HIGHFIELD
It is a suburb which is 10km away from to town . It prides itself in housing prestigious supermarkets and food outlets like OK, TM pick n pay, Choppies, Crown choice and Chicken inn.
It also houses Econet ,Netone and Telecel shops and Many reliable banks. It has the same traits as the CBD as its transport system extends to other locations like Glen Norah ,Chitungwiza, DZ ,Kambuzuma, Westgate Kuwadzana etc.
Through numerous debates with landlords within this location .They agreed to an average price of 10usd to 20usd per head which is affordable to many.
ZUPCO direct to UZ campus will be initiated and this would cost $2.
Having a large number of students registered with the UZ TO HIGHFIELD CONNECT would determine the number of buses to be offered by Zupco.
Our grand plan is to have as many as 5000+ UZ students registered with the UZ TO HIGHFIELD CONNECT.
