Its 18:00, in the Regional Police Commissioners office. Date? 17.08.11. I checked around the room, only to confirm the physical presence of the City Councils Chief Executive Officer, District Commissioner, the Commissioner herself, her Deputy, Dean of Students, 5 Student Leaders. We were in a deadlock. The `authorities wanted to have our planned vigils to the University Office suspended indefinately on `security grounds following the July 20 thing. As Student leaders then, we remained resolute on our plan, after all, we were within the confines of the law. After a long exchange of arguments, with the tones revealing anything (anger, frustration, fatigue, etc), a brief silence reigned. Then the Deputy fumed, Madam (referring to the Commissioner), tingowatsekela atsogoleriwa panopa. Otsalawo (students) sangapange demo. Whatever followed is another story. Today, subject to a parliamentary nod, the Deputy is to man the department at national level. Wishing him the best!
