A 19 year old student at the University of Zambia has reportedly committed suicide after allegedly being denied a bursary.
Musanka Mukwamba of Lusaka’s Kalingalinga township, who had been admitted to the university’s school of Humanities, is said to have taken her own life with a poisonous insecticide after learning of her predicament according to people familiar with the development at UNZA radio.
Out of the 6000 plus first year students admitted to Zambia’s highest institution of learning, only 2,600 have been placed on the bursary scheme.
