CUT Learners In Shock After Student Commits Suicide Four Days After Another

CUT students have been left in shock after a seemingly happy student committed suicide just four days after another student from the school committed suicide.

The campus of Chinhoyi University of Technology is grappling with profound grief and disbelief following the sudden death of a first-year Agricultural Engineering student. Abraham Chabata, described by peers as a model student, tragically ended his life on university grounds last Wednesday.

Fellow students and faculty expressed complete shock, noting that Chabata had never exhibited any outward signs of distress or emotional struggle. Described as academically diligent and financially stable, his actions have left the university community searching for answers to an inexplicable tragedy.

Questions are being raised about whether the University is effectively raising mental health campaigns and awareness. The contents of the suicide note that he left for his parents and friends have not yet been released to the public. Fellow students who saw him every day on campus, however, have grown antsy and are wondering who else may be struggling while smiling.

University Responds With Support

University officials confirmed the tragedy and extended condolences to Chabata’s family, who were equally stunned by his sudden passing. The institution emphasised that it maintains a dedicated team of professional counsellors available to support students through psychosocial challenges.
