This was revealed by the third witness in the trial of
suspended University of Zimbabwe (UZ) Vice-Chancellor Levi Nyagura, accused of
illegally awarding former First Lady Grace Mugabe a PHD.
During cross examination with Nyagura’s lawyer Advocate
Tawanda Zhuwarara Mr Surgent Chevo who was the registrar at the UZ during that
period told the court that there were no irregularities in all the processes up
until Mugabe graduated with a PHD.
Mr Chevo revealed that the examination panel did an oral
examination on Mugabe at her children’s home and she passed.
“As she was being asked grilling questions by the
examination panel during the oral examination, at first she was shivering but
later calmed down and answered them satisfactorily,” he said.
Mr Chevo added that everything was done according to the
rules and regulations of the University of Zimbabwe. He further stated that
there was nothing unusual in the processes and no signs of favouritism were
exhibited.
“After the oral examination, the examination panel
deliberated on Mugabe’s performance and all the members agreed unanimously that
she had performed satisfactorily and that she be awarded a PHD.
He told the court that he did not receive any instructions
from Nyagura which showed favour to Mugabe. Herald
