UZ Vice Chancellor responds to Grace Mugabe's PhD questions

Professor Levi Nyagura, the vice-chancellor of the University of Zimbabwe responded angrily when asked by the Zimbabwe Independent to explain how President Robert Mugabe's wife, Grace, got her controversial PhD.

"Are you a university? So why do you want to know the details of this particular student's performance?" Nyagura erupted when asked to explain the contentious issue.

"How many students graduated with PhDs?"

After being told there were 13 students who graduated with PhDs, including Grace, he asked: "So why would you want to know results of this particular student only?"
 
"Why would the public want to know all this? Do they know how universities are run? The public is ignorant of how universities are run and this issue has nothing to do with them anyway."

For the past three weeks authorities at the UZ have avoided answering questions regarding Grace's doctorate degree.
