As word went round the University of Namibia (UNAM) Campus that the university was seriously considering banning alcohol on campus, anxiety gripped students who have been enjoying the product which has been selling like a hot cake at the Leisure Centre since last semester.
In the past, alcohol was not allowed on campus but students were allegedly smuggling the commodity on campus not until early this year, when the Leisure centre was granted authority to sell beer to students within their premises much to their delight as they had been starved for sometime.
Initially, most students that take alcohol would go to clubs and places where they sell alcohol like Nchez Ntemba, J&J, and clubs in Windhoek.
It is definitely unacceptable for adults to be treated like adolescents that need parental guidance coupled with that what justification do authorities have since no incident has ever occurred or been reported since the sell of alcohol was introduced on campus.
One tends to wonder why authorities are thinking twice about the sell of alcohol on campus and why institute such a draconian measure. The contentious issue is why students are not being regarded as adults who can take alcohol and act responsibly.
