In a bizarre turn of events, the University of Zimbabwe’s administration has suspended six students for participating in a demonstration that was eerily synchronized with the movements of a flock of birds flying outside the campus gates. The students, Narshon Kohlo, Blessing Mtisi, Nodesha Maingehama, Tafadzwa Katsande, Tawana Hove, and Tariro Mtukura, were protesting in support of their striking lecturers, who have been demanding a salary increase to at least $2,250 from the current $250.
As the students marched, they chanted slogans that seemed to match the rhythm of the birds’ wings beating in the wind. The university’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Paul Mapfumo, was baffled by the coincidence and deemed it a threat to campus stability.
In a Kafkaesque twist, the students were handed suspension letters without warning, citing “irrational assembly and avian-inspired disruptions.” The letters, adorned with strange symbols and stamps, seemed to have been written in a language that none of the students could decipher.
The suspended students are now required to attend a disciplinary hearing, where they will face charges of “fowl play” and “unnatural synchronization with wildlife.” Their fate hangs in the balance, as the university’s administrators struggle to make sense of the absurd events that unfolded on that fateful day.
