Female student leaders face ongoing harassment
In November 2019, Abiona Mataranyika made history by becoming the first female to be elected as president of the University of Zimbabwe Student Representative Council, more than six decades after the inception of this higher learning institution.
It has not been an easy road, and she has had to face continuing cyber-bullying, including trolling and insensitive and defamatory remarks.
Yet Mataranyika, who is pursuing a dual honours degree in French and Portuguese, soldiered on.
In an interview with
University World News, she said the online harassment continues up to this day.
“There was character assassination. People would create ghost accounts to say bad things about me. There was body shaming; wanting to make me feel inferior,” she said.

THE six chief election agents representing losing candidates at the just ended MDC-T extraordinary congress (EOC) are supporting the decision of former acting president Thokozani Khupe to cancel the chaotic voting process held Sunday at the Harare International Conference Centre.
Midway through the voting process to choose late MDC founder leader, Morgan Tsvangirai successor, Khupe, who was far behind Douglas Mwonzora in terms of votes, attempted to cancel the election citing voting irregularities.
She went on to suspend Mwonzora as MDC-T secretary-general accusing him of looting millions of dollars from party coffers.
However, the attempt to cancel the voting process turned violent as by MDC-T youths chased away Khupe and another presidential aspirant Morgen Komichi.
