President Robert Mugabe has capped 3445 graduates at the
Great Zimbabwe University (GZU) as the university held its 11th graduation
ceremony in Masvingo.
The graduates were drawn from the faculties of arts,
religious studies, sociology, education and media and cultural studies.
Established in 2002, the university now boasts of a student
population of over 14 000.
In his address, GZU Vice Chancellor, Professor Rungano
Zvobgo highlighted that the university has begun constructing a medical school,
whose first class is expected to enroll by August 2018 under the guidance of
the University of Zimbabwe.
The move is in response to a directive for all universities
to establish faculties of medicine, technology, engineering and culture and
heritage studies.
GZU is currently operating from various centres in
Masvingo, with plans underway to construct a permanent site at Nemamwa, close
to the Great Zimbabwe monuments. Professor Zvobgo also revealed that the
university has embarked on a vigorous fundraising campaign for the construction
of the university.
The newly capped graduates expressed their eagerness to
contribute to the development of the nation.
