Jones Gadama, a fourth-year student at University of Blantyre Synod pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Education, is on the verge of being withdrawn from the university due to outstanding school fees.
Jones has been barred from attending lessons and writing examinations due to his inability to settle his school fees.
Jones, who is also a class representative and a writer, has been contributing to various publications, including the Sunday Times Oped Column and online platforms like Maravi Post as well as 247Malawi.
The university has rejected Jones’s application for a payment plan, insisting that he settle the entire amount at once.
With a total of MK1.5 million needed to clear his outstanding fees, Jones has organized a big walk on April 25 from Zalewa to Lunzu, aiming to raise K2.5Million.
In an interview with our reporter, Jones said, “I have tried all other means to raise funds, but I have failed. This big walk is my last hope.
I am appealing to all well-wishers to support me in my effort to raise MK2.5 million for my school fees.”
The big walk, scheduled for April 25, is expected to bring together supporters and well-wishers who can contribute to Jones’s cause.
Those willing to support Jones can reach him on 0992082424 (calls only) or 0985209615 (WhatsApp). Alternatively, they can contact the university’s Registrar, Mrs. Longwe, at 0995250986.
Donations can also be made through the University of Blantyre Synod’s FDH Bank Current account (Umoyo branch, account number 1850004272606) or Jones Gadama’s National Bank of Malawi account (Chichiri Branch, account number 2302853).
Jones has been unable to pay his school fees, and the university is requiring full payment at once.
The outcome of Jones’s big walk will determine his academic future. Jones said, “I am not giving up on my dreams, and I need your support to make them a reality.”
