Oppah Muchinguri today unwittingly revealed that President Robert Mugabe marked Grace Mugabe's controversial PhD.
Muchinguri told cross border traders that Dr Amai Mugabe spent sleepless nights studying for her PhD while President Mugabe marked for her.
Grace Mugabe was awarded a PhD. and her husband, who's chancellor of the University of Zimbabwe capped her.
News of the First Lady's graduation has come as a surprise to Zimbabweans, since she was only reported to have registered for the degree in July.
She's understood to have studied the case of children's homes in Zimbabwe a subject that comes as no surprise, since the First Lady runs an orphanage in Mazowe, north of Harare.
Her start date was never confirmed by the presidency and since her first degree in Chinese language from the People's University of China was reportedly conferred in 2011, it is technically possible that she began her doctoral studies then.
But that's not what the majority of Zimbabweans believe and there's been a degree of outrage on social media.
The First Lady's PhD has stirred controversy oamid reports that UZ authorities could have upgraded her Master's degree to a PhD, with some sources saying she did not even study for the degree programme.
