University protests deportation of Zimbabwean student leader

By Liz Fekete

1 April 1995

Brighton University has protested to the Home Office following the deportation of the president of the students union.

Zimbabwean Pancho Ndebele was refused an extension to his student visa to complete his second year sabbatical as president at the university where he had completed an electrical and electronic engineering degree. Student bodies say the Home Office's refusal to allow him the right to appeal contradicts a 1974 undertaking which allowed exemptions for overseas students elected to sabbatical posts in British universities.
