Students took a stand at Unizul I am one of the students at the University of Zululand, since my arrival in this institution there was a huge gab of communication between students them selves and between management. Students had no platform to voice out freely what lies within them. They had no source of information on current issues happening within their institution. I just want to extend my deepest gratitude and intellectual appreciation to some students of Unizul who took a stand and revived University of Zululand Press.
UZ press is the online news source for students to access current hot issues unfolding within the institution. This on line news source was not running for quit a long time, but we appreciate these students for reviving and bringing back such a valuable tool. In the past, as students we used to read stories unfolding on campus to other news sources without knowing the issue.
But UZ press is now keeping us informed with all current issues, from the SRC issues to student’s society events. There are many other students on campus that also tried to establish news papers but failed along the way. We waited in great expectations but they never managed to publish even one story. UZ press is a very pivotal tool for us students who want to improve our writing skills and for the whole student body of Unizul. Guys I really appreciate the work well done.
Keep your site with your sizzling hot articles up and running. We need people like you in this country, who can take initiation regardless of the environment. In previous years I visited other universities like University of Johannesburg, Rhodes University, they have news papers owned and run by students. They govern radio stations and online magazine all by determined students who wish to bring change in their surrounding.
Our institution should support these students in every way. This is the real legacy which needs to be nurtured and supported. Since UZ press is the only news provider for students at Unizul, I think many even from out side should lay hand and assist these students with passion to make a difference and bring about great transformation. Such ideas need to be encouraged, so that other students can take a good pattern. UZ press team keep it going.
