Yesterday night, students from Soweto hostels got angry
after being left hungry the whole day. Power outage had had occurred since 7.30
am in the morning till 8pm when they decided to take actions in their hands.
It all started with whistle and screams that trumpeted the
situation across the campus. Everybody in Moi University understands what that
means unless one has visited the place for the first time then such kind of
shouts will make one shrink. They shouted all kinds of names to the
accommodations director. They felt that he had failed to perform his duty well
and that’s why they were suffering. Someone must listen to their grievances. As
per the notice, the power was supposed to be back as at 5pm.
After screaming for about an hour and realizing that no one
cared for them, they decided to raise their voices higher and move out of their
rooms. Where were they going? What were they going to do? What are they going
to do? One could wonder as the noise proceeded towards the megabytes. It’s like
they had planned to eat all the edible products in the place. They moved like
hungry vultures scaring the attendance at the place. They had to run for their
lives lest they are killed by the angry crowd.
The shop attendance had nothing to do with power. They are
business men who are trying to make the ends meet. Selling the snacks is what
they do for a living, they do their best to ensure that they put something in
their tables in the evening at yet students are willing to destroy that hard
work and sacrifice in a twinkle of an eye. Nevertheless the stalls provide for
them quality services at their doorsteps. What do they gain for ruining
people’s life? They need to think twice before they act.
Surely, those innocent souls are undergoing loses day in day out, students ought to be fair, no need to impose pains in other people, as the rule always says, do unto others what you want done unto you
