Sixty Lupane State University (LSU) students share one computer, it has been learnt.
The recommended ratio from Zimbabwe Council of Higher Education is that one computer should be accessible to six students.
The university, on Saturday held a golf tournament held at Harry Allen golf course in Bulawayo to raise funds.
About $20 000 was raised at the event, with the amount set to go towards purchasing of the computers.
LSU Vice-Chancellor Professor Pardon Kuipa said the event was meant to interact with stakeholders outside the formal environment as well to raise funds for the institution.
"We came here to have fun with our stakeholders because Government has been the sole sponsor of our expenditures but there are many universities that have come after us so the cake is too small to share therefore universities have to do something to raise funds from other sources," said Prof Kuipa.
As first reported by Bulawayo24.com on Wednesday last week, Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko teed off with various stakeholders.
Recently, the university received a donation of 50 computers from Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Minister Professor Jonathan Moyo.
