Entertainment
All work and No play makes Jack a dull boy.

That is it. That is my manifesto….lol. I mean what did you expect really. I am an Aspiring Minister of
Entertainment. I’ll be thinking about the next vibe and how I can help you put a smile on your face.

Just as a short bio, I am Ian Miles Takawira. An ambitious, Computer Science student, Minister of
Entertainment and President of Cottage #47. You don’t need to know much about me. You just need
to know that “I AM A VIIIIIIBE”

I want to provide you with around the clock entertainment. We shouldn’t just look at this as a
Ministry of Bashes but rather a tool that “Shifts the Culture”. Even infusing it together eventually.

Culture Diversity

Increase Student Social Relation

Promote Networking

Mental Health Awareness

Create Employment

Create Legacy Systems

We all NEED the above gaps closed, and here’s how were going to do it together:

1) Annual NUST Fun Festival

This is the dream. This is the main event I intend to establish while I am still in office. This will be a
3-day long festival. Each day will be different and a thrilling experience. We shall have exhibitions
on all the days and I’m sure this will be the perfect time to show how amazing and similar our
African Cultures are and that we are truly ONE PEOPLE.

2) Collaboration of Ministries

Every Aspect of your student life should be lit lit. In partnership with the ministries of Sports and
Recreation, Clubs and Society, Health and Welfare, Information and Publicity, the entertainment
scene is going to flow like water. After every sporting activity, there should be an After Party or a
general social cool down. Our Clubs and Society can easily be pushed in the direction of income
generating projects. Enactus, LEO, Rotaract, Sisterhood, Awesomeness and many more have the
potential to become major fraternities of the highest order in Bulawayo. Student Health is no
longer just physical and mental but even a game of the spirit as well. Then of course, Information
and Publicity will do their thing and bring it all to your screen at the right time.

Do you see it??? I don’t have to do everything by myself. T.A.S.T.E Leadership

3) Affirmation Mondays

I will be starting a trend that I hope one day shall be accepted and culminates into a culture. As
much as I would like for it to be mandatory, I am going to be actively suggesting that each
NUSTIAN will pick an individual they will check up on every week and radiate positives vibes
towards. As a NUST Academic myself, I know personally how “depressing” our “high school”
system can get.
4) NUST Yearly Awards

What stops us from having our own awards to look forward to for our own amusement? We
could just come up with 47 Categories that appeal to everyone and we celebrate them. SIMPLE

5) Student DISCOUNTS

As TASTE Leadership, we shall be striving to give your STUDENT ID the power that it deserves. I
am in good books with Kayse Connect, the promoter, who are responsible for bringing various
mainstream artist to the city. Without a doubt, there shall be a student package at every event
approved by the SRC. Pump Price Alcohol, Discounted ENTRY FEE and much much more.

6) HALL OF BEAUTY

Celebrating NUST Women

I once had an argument with a person who said there are NO beautiful women at NUST. I intend
to rectify this grave misfortune of ignorance. I will gladly parade the beauty, uniqueness, and
strong willed nature of our beloved flowers. We are going to have it as an app.

7) REGULAR HOUSE PARTIES

This one is self-explanatory. SELBOURNE shout just be lit every chance we get.
