TR: {UAH} UNIVERSITY OF ZIMBABWE DEFENDS AWARDING PHD TO GRACE MUGABE

Sic transit gloria mundi. 

We don't at all  wonder whether those who praised lady Grace as the cleverest woman from Zimbabwe are the same people saying now her Ph.D was flawed. We saw this in Rwanda when Ndahindurwa was ousted by Kayibanda, when Kayibanda has fallen by Habyarimana and when Habyarimana was shot and replaced by Kagame.

HARARE - The vice-chancellor of the University of Zimbabwe has defended the awarding of a PhD to Grace Mugabe.

The former first lady's thesis on orphanages has been subject to intense scrutiny since it was posted on the university's website last month, with critics saying it falls far short of the normal standard required for a doctorate.

University of Zimbabwe vice-chancellor Levi Nyagura says Mugabe's thesis has been sitting in the university library for the past four years.

That's in response to questions about why it took so long for the university to make the thesis public after the degree was controversially awarded four years ago.

Nyagura has told the state-run Herald that the former first lady was properly supervised.

And he's hit out at academics at the sociology department, who he described as ignorant.

Ten academics have written a petition calling for Mugabe's doctorate to be nullified: they say proper procedures weren't followed, and that academic corruption was committed.
