 The Malawi University of Business and Applied sciences (MUBAS) has launched a keep MUBAS clean campaign which is aimed at removing any waste found on the campus.  The campaign has started bearing fruit as the University has put in place trash cans as well as mobile bins to aid in reducing litter found at the university. Speaking to one of the students, Response Banda, said the initiative has come at the right time since the university was filled with plastic waste from student's food packaging items. The University launched the campaign on the 8th September and was pioneered by the University's dean of students. The university has so far put in place 5 mobile bins on top of the already installed 7 trash cans.

Students at Nalikule college of education are destitute after being forcefully asked to leave the campus today. Powell Ndovie, one of the students representative at the institution, said the gate to the campus is closed and they have no money to return to their respective homes hence they have been forced to sleep at the gate.  This is so, after the management at the institution called upon the police to escort the students out of the premises as the students weren't any signs of leaving the campus. The issue has come into play as the schools' administration had announced earlier that the school will open on 3 September but due to undisclosed reasons, the opening date has changed to 18th October.   Are the adminstrations actions justified?!
