OPEN LETTER TO HIS EXECELLENCY CDE ED MNANGAGWA  FROM ZIMBABWEAN STUDENTS STUDYING ABROAD ON GOVERNMENT SCHOLARSHIPS:

Zimbabwean students studyin abroad on gvnt scholarships went in delirium after your ascendency to power in an epic manner which all Zimbabweans supported.Congratulation your Excellency but you have a mammoth task as was evidenced by your well articulated inauguration speech on the 24th of November @ the gigantic National Sports Stadium.

Honourable Zimbabwean students on gvnt scholarships studying abroad are eking out a living  especially those in Algeria,Cuba, Russia and Egypt.As usual,the girl child is  prone to inhuman handling in these foreign lands.The former ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education Professor Jonathan Moyo together with his deputy Dr Godfree Gandawa dismally failed to disburse stipends for students studying abroad instead they went on a looting spree as evidenced by the well known #ZimDefScandal et al.All  students studying in foreign lands will be on students visas issued by the home country thus barring us from workin hence we SOLELY depend on these STIPENDS from the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education for survival.We have been deprived of our stipends for close to 2 yrs and we are now in a very serious humanitarian crisis which requires imminent alleviation.The student attachee based in Algeria termed Mr Mharapara have been conducted several tyms including the respective embassies all in vain.The former president of the Republic RG Mugabe was  aware of our financial quagmire and he put in place the Minstry of Scholarship under Minister Chris Mushohwe which again was to no avail.We are glad you are already walking the talk regarding corruption linked to government officials this will go a long way in improving our welfare as students and the nation at large.

We wish to elaborate that students on these government scholarships are based on merit and surely from disadvantaged families hence the outcry for financial intervention as we genuinely lack alternative source of funding.As students, we embraced a ray of hope currently in our nation and we are patiently waiting for the announcement of the New Cabinet.We hope it will be a new dawn for us too.Honourable studying abroad  with an empty stomach without adequate shelter is more like human trafficking,we have SUFFERED.We are ready to provide the details of our scenario to the new Minister of Higher and Tertiary Education once installed as per protocol.

We wish you well in your new cumbersome job Honourable and soon we will join to re-built this great Zimbabwe.Hoping for a finacial bail-out before year ends Honourable else our situation will be catastrophic.In the event that the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education fails to disburse our stipends we wish to be re-called back home Honourable.

Yours Faithfully
