Malawi University of Science and Technology closed indefinitely

The Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST) have been closed indefinitely due to water scarcity, a situation which forced the students on Monday to go on the street protesting.

This has been confirmed in a statement released on Monday made available to FaceofMalawi signed by MUST registrar Tarsizius Nampota.

According to Nampota, the decision to have the University closed is due to the scarcity of water on campus as a result of the breakdown of the water pumps that supply the institution with water.

“Due to the scarcity of water on campus as a result of the breakdown of the water pumps that supply with water, management has resolved to close the campus temporarily,” reads in part the statement.

Students were told to leave the campus on Monday and that management will communicate the date when the university shall resume.

Meanwhile it is not known as to when the University will be reopened.
