While comrades are spending sleepless nights praying for the prevailing lectures’ strike to be called off, contrary, there is another group fasting, singing and praying for the strike to continue for more weeks and if possible to shift from category of weeks to months. This is the so-called team mafisi Sacco and sponsors.
The lecturers’ strike which is on its third week has brought unrest to university students since there are some rumors that the semester can be suspended to May this giving more headache to determined comrades more so fourth years who are in their last semester.
Comrades having no control over it, they have remained calm in their hostels wise comrades doing their research program and projects while wishing the best of the results from government.
Others have gone back to their villages to look for something else constructive to do with their radios and televisions as their next friends for the updates on the same.
Mafisi also were not left behind have their story on the strike wishing everyday lectures to disagree with the government so that the strike may prolong.
They seem to be very obedience for once on the wise men say “opportunity knocks once….” making every single day maximally utilised to the best.
No class, no assignments no CATS, life ni freestyle this is the trending sentence in all public universities for mafisi.
They have remained with only one task to look for crushes and updating their ‘new catches’ lists.
Sponsors have popped into the universities to hunt for the beautiful ladies and to show their mipango ya kando how much they love them.
You will wonder if keenly observe the car models that are visiting our public university this time of the strike.
Very expensive high-class car models, say of jaguar F-Pace, Harrier, Range Rovers just to mention a few , you will think of international meeting little to know that they are sponsors those big Tummy men in black sun glasses coming to pick their prey.
Taking and dropping have been their daily task you will think they are working in clearing and forwarding offices. May government do something on the strike our brothers and sisters in universities are in a big mess.
Why “Team Mafisi” and “Ma-Sponsor” wishes lectures’ strike to continue
