THIS WEEK: Lose power, lose doctorate: Former first lady Mugabe’s fate

Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Zimbabwe’s anti-corruption commission says it is probing the circumstances surrounding the controversial awarding of a doctorate to former first lady Grace Mugabe.

Mugabe, whose husband resigned in November under pressure from the military and ruling party, received a doctorate from the University of Zimbabwe in 2014 amid allegations she did not study for it.

Former president Robert Mugabe was chancellor of the university. Now the lecturers in the sociology department asked for the probe after failing to find any record of Grace Mugabe as a student.
