The FIFA World Cup #DStvMaUpsChallenge at Arrupe Jesuit University

With all TV screens tuned to Qatar’s FIFA world cup, Arrupe Jesuit University students had their share of fun and flair in showcasing their soccer talent by entering the #DStvMaUpsChallenge. Organised by DStv Zimbabwe, the event was meant to raise awareness about DStv coverage of the games. For AJU, through AJU Students’ Association (AJUSA), this was an opportune chance for Arrupe to be known out there. Plus, it was fun. The session was anchored by Zimbabwe’s well-known comedian Bhutisi.
