Bona Mugabe graduates with Masters Degree

President Robert Mugabe says more Zimbabwean students will be facilitated to attend courses at the Management Institute of Singapore.

Speaking after witnessing the graduation of his daughter Bona Nyepudzai Mugabe who obtained a Masters Degree in Banking and Finance from the institute, Mugabe said education is the most important element in the development thrust of any country.

Bona graduated as the only Zimbabwean and African student among the 150 graduands.

The graduation was attended by Robert Mugabe, Grace Mugabe and other senior government officials.

Bona also gave a rare interview to journalists saying she intends to use her experience in Singapore back home where she is already working at Alpha-Omega Dairy.

The President told journalists that as parents they are proud of their daughter's achievement, describing Bona as reserved, disciplined and studious, saying the government will use Bona's example to send more students to the Singapore institute.
