Mugabe urged to step down

Harare West MP Jessie Majome (MDC-T) has called on President Robert Mugabe to step down as chancellor of all State universities, arguing the workload was now too much for him given the increasing number of State universities in the country.

Majome made the proposal on Thursday while contributing to debate on a motion on the Pan African Minerals University of Sciences and Technology Bill.

The proposed university is expected to train high calibre mineral experts from all over Africa and its chancellor will be Mugabe.

The MP said it did not augur well with tenets of good governance to make the Head of State a chancellor of all State universities.
