The situation at the UTS Students’ Association (UTSSA) has intensified since Honi reported on sanctions imposed on the Education Action Group (EAG) last month.
America’s law enforcement system is at a crossroads.
During the course of the past year, cities around the country have been rocked by wave after wave of protests following police-involved shootings. Now that a Minneapolis jury has held former police officer Derek Chauvin responsible for the killing of George Floyd, the national conversation has again turned to police reforms.
It’s clear something must be done to address wrongs and reestablish trust between communities and law enforcement officers, while also protecting the reputations of the majority of officers who serve honorably every day.
A majority of Americans from both political parties support some reform. In fact, 95% of Americans from both sides of the aisle support changing management policies to hold officers more accountable for their actions.

STATE-CONTROLLED publisher Zimpapers has summarily suspended sub-editors Washington Rungano Gwanzura and Tinashe Chuma for publishing a cheeky reader’s comment wishing death on President Emmerson Mnangagwa or any of his two deputies.
In tributes to late Zimdancehall star Soul Jah Love who died Tuesday, an anonymous contributor to the stable’s H-Metro publication mischievously said one of the three leaders should have died instead of the talented chanter.
But management did not take this lightly, responding with the suspensions.
Production editor Rosenthal Mutakati also barred the two from setting foot at Herald House where the popular tabloid is situated.
