Makerere University student on Monday morning  stormed a girls' hall of residence-Africa,  during a protest against the 100% tuition payment policy where they forcefully ate and poured food meant for lunch and supper

The rowdy students were chanting all sorts of slogans including the infamous " Ddumba zeee' which literally translates to a strong dislike for the Vice chancellor, Prof. Ddumba Ssentamu. Students, who mostly were male, raided Africa hall at around midday and ate all the food prepared for the meals of that day. Raw food items that included rice, beans and matooke, were poured all over the place in an attempt to portray their anger. This left the hotel that provides food to Africa and Livingstone halls, shocked and stranded as they had no option but to write notices to students, to inform them that they would not have lunch as the food that had been prepared for them was poured and eaten forcefully.

Talking to Nganda Kizito, a worker with Bbossa institutional catering services limited, that provide meals to both Africa and Livingstone halls, he said, "At around 11:40am, over 250 students invaded the kitchen and took most of the utensils, raw food, and cooked food...they also took away dishes for serving. We called the police which was in Livingstone but it did not immediately respond, It is a big loss to us." He also noted that a sack of 50kgs was taken, saucepans, more than 25 pieces of chicken were taken, a sack of Irish potatoes and many other items. He also notes that's it was the second time students raided the hall but this time it was immense.

Speaking to one of the students, Evelyn Khana, she said that she even did not bother herself to go for lunch because she had already read a notice from the management informing them that they would not be having lunch on top of witnessing the act herself.

Makerere University is one of the most prominent Universities in East Africa and Africa at large, but the image of the University is repeatedly tainted black by students, who violently try to settle their issues with the university administration claiming it’s the only language the university administration understands. Last year, a number of strikes were staged at the same institution. One of the strikes was staged by government sponsored students who were demanding for faculty allowance, and the other one was from the privately sponsored students against the same tuition payment policy of clearing 100% tuition fee by the sixth week into the semester.
