Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>By Leopold Munhende<\/b><\/p>\n

UPMARKET Falcon College has pegged its second term fees at a staggering US$10,588.79 just as University of Zimbabwe (UZ) students celebrate a High Court judgement barring the institution from hiking their fees to US$467.<\/p>\n

A notice released by the school on April 26 reveals parents and guardians will have to part with ZW$11,330,000 which translates to US$10,588.79 at the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe\u2019s (RBZ) inter-bank rate or US$5,665 at the popular black market rate.<\/p>\n

Despite efforts to defend it by Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube, Zimbabwe\u2019s local currency has devalued at an alarming rate since its re-introduction by President Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

The notice, signed by Board of Governors Chairman Andrew Marchussen and Headmaster Dave van Wyk blames Zimbabwe\u2019s waning economy for the hike.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is absolutely necessary if we are to continue to not just survive but thrive in this economy,\u201d it reads.<\/p>\n

The eSigodini school\u2019s alumni includes former Chevrons captain Heath Streak, fellow cricketer Meluleki Nkala, Charles Knaggs who is a Colonel in the British army and former European Parliament member Robert Jackson.<\/p>\n

The school sits on 2,000 hectares of what was once Bushtick gold mine in Matabeleland South.<\/p>\n

It boasts of a kilometre long airstrip, a golf range and 810 hectares of a nature reserve and wilderness area.<\/p>\n

Sports and clubs at the facility include fishing, mountain climbing, karate, photography and investment; most of which are not at ordinary schools across the country.<\/p>\n
