Seven students from the University of Zimbabwe (UZ) who allegedly failed their examinations graduated on Friday after their results were fraudulently altered by lecturers at the request of the institution’s academic leaders.
According to The NewsHawks, the forged marks were assigned to the students after lecturers were pressured to change the results on Monday, rather than organising supplementary examinations.
The seven students concerned were named as Linford Masotcha: Small Animal Medicine (41%); Anorld Mushayi: Small Animal Medicine (40%); Obey Kadyamajongwe: Small Animal Medicine (43%) and Small Animal Surgery (44%); Adeline Musunda: Small Animal Surgery (43%); Moses Madenga: Small Animal Medicine (46%), Small Animal Surgery (40%) and Herd Health (45%); Tadiwa Karumbidza: Small Animal Medicine (43%); Wright Zvomuya: Small Animal Medicine (40%) and Small Animal Surgery (40%).
UZ students recently received their exam results, and those who failed were expected to either repeat the subjects or sit for supplementary examinations after six weeks. However, the university’s academic leaders directed lecturers to alter the marks, allowing students to pass without retaking their exams.
According to university regulations, a student who fails certain subjects must sit for supplementary exams. Students who fail one or more modules may apply to repeat those modules, while those who fail a module other than Research Methods, Technical Writing, and Design Project may still proceed to the Dissertation phase.
It is alleged that lecturers were instructed to change the results, a move that many academics have condemned as fraudulent and criminal.

Seven students from the University of Zimbabwe graduated even though they failed their exams because their marks were changed by their teachers. The students were meant to retake the exams or do extra ones, but instead, their marks were altered so they could pass. This is against the rules of the university. Many people are not happy about this and say it is not fair. The teachers were told to change the marks by the university's leaders.

Seven UZ Students Graduate After Alleged Fraudulent Result Alterations

A 23-year-old man got capped at the Midlands State University on Friday by President Emmerson Mnangagwa on behalf of his mother who died in September this year.
Brian Banda’s mother, Patricia Banda, was graduating posthumously with a first-class degree in Bachelor of Commerce Information Systems Management.
MSU Chaplain Reverend Menson Mpofu requested for a moment of silence to remember Banda. He said:
<blockquote>
Let us take a minute of silence as we observe one of our own, Mrs Patricia Banda, who died on September 2. She was supposed to graduate with others today. May her soul rest in peace.
</blockquote>
When his mother’s name was called for capping by President Mnangagwa, Brian walked to the podium with his mother’s gown and cap in hand and was capped on his late mother’s behalf.
In an interview with State media later, Brian said the day was an emotional one for the family. He said:
<blockquote>
I am still in pain. It could have been my mum’s big day today, celebrating with others the fruits of her hard work but God had other plans, she is no more and I am here standing in for her.
I left my father (Simbarashe Banda) and the other family members at home. Dad actually said he can’t be here because of emotions but I decided to come and stand in for my mother.
</blockquote>
Brian is a university student who is pursuing an Accounting degree at Great Zimbabwe University.
He vowed to continue with his studies until he attains a professorship as a tribute to his mother.
Brian said his mother died following a short illness at the age of 38.
She is survived by her husband and three children. | <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/son-graduates-on-mothers-behalf-mum-died-3-months-before-her-graduation/">Chronicle</a>

Son Graduates On Mum's Behalf... She Died Exactly 3 Months Before Her Graduation

Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU) students have launched an online petition in a bid to force the institution to reverse its decision to hold the graduation ceremony virtually.
ZOU is scheduled to hold its graduation ceremony on 7 December at its Hatcliffe campus in Harare.
However, only a small number of graduands will physically attend the ceremony while others will follow proceedings virtually and this has not gone down well with the students.
In the petition, the students demanded to be allowed to graduate in person. Reads the petition:
<blockquote>
We need a united physical graduation for all ZOU graduands (no separation) for whatever reason, ZOU organized graduation at different venues, that is, Belvedere and Hatcliff campuses.
As students we do not agree with that, we do not want to be separated and we do not want virtual graduation.
Graduation day is more important than even acquiring the certificate itself to us as students.
It is our day hence we need to graduate together like what we did when we were oriented during the start of our degree program.
</blockquote>
ZOU Corporate Communications Director, Thomas Mahundi told CITE’s <a href="https://cite.org.zw/author/senzeni/">Senzeni Ncube</a> that this year’s venue, the Hatcliffe site is under construction hence it accommodates small numbers. Said Mahundi:
<blockquote>
The Zimbabwe Open University Management would like to inform its valued stakeholders the class of 2022 that your university remains committed to addressing the students’ plight.
In view of this, management wishes to bring to your attention once again that this year’s main graduation venue, the Hatcliffe site is under construction hence it accommodates a small number.
</blockquote>
He added that the rest of the graduands will graduate virtually at their regional campus venues, following proceedings live on ZTV, ZOU’s Facebook page, and link via the ZOU website.
Since 2020 at the height of the novel coronavirus crisis, local universities have been holding virtual graduations, only allowing those with first-class degrees to physically attend the ceremonies. | <a href="https://cite.org.zw/zou-students-launch-petition-against-virtual-graduation-ceremony/">CITE</a>

ZOU Students Launch Online Petition Against Virtual Graduation Ceremony

Midlands State University (MSU) has banned individuals and private organisations from holding side graduation events after it barred at least 5 200 of its 6 500 students from physically attending their graduation ceremony last week.
MSU said the move was aimed at ensuring compliance with COVID-19 regulations.
Since 2020, universities have been holding virtual graduations, only allowing those with first-class degrees to physically attend the ceremonies.
This has resulted in some students holding private ceremonies where they could gather and follow virtual live proceedings.
Last week MSU distanced itself from such gatherings and warned stakeholders that they will not be responsible for anything. It said in a notice:
<blockquote>
Should one decide to attend such events, Midlands State University will not assume responsibility or be held liable for the consequences of such a decision.
</blockquote>
Opposition LEAD leader Linda Masarira criticised the move by MSU and described it as disrespectful. She said:
<blockquote>
This kind of disrespect is totally unacceptable. MSU has by this issue shown disrespect to their stakeholders and we demand answers with transparency because this raises eyebrows on the day-to-day usage of funds.
Why rob more than a thousand students of an opportunity to celebrate their degrees that they spent four years paying school fees for just like any other state university?
We demand answers and legit reasons or at least for graduation fees to be lowered about the fact that only a few students will be attending the graduation physically.
MSU should stop this daylight robbery and allow students to attend the graduation physically.
</blockquote>
MSU ordered students to pay a compulsory US$70 graduation fee plus US$40 for graduation regalia. | <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/more-woes-for-students-as-msu-ban-side-graduation-events/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>

MSU Bans Students From Holding Side Graduation Events

Namibian Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Peya Mushelenga, obtained his 12th academic degree on Wednesday when he graduated with a PhD in law from the University of the Western Cape, South Africa.
According to a statement issued by the South African university on Thursday, Mushelenga’s thesis, “Investigator-prosecutor collaboration: A framework for improving Namibia’s criminal justice process”, is the first of its kind in Namibia.
The thesis discusses the significance of inter-agency cooperation to determine a suitable model for that country. Said Mushelenga:
<blockquote>
I grew up in a rural village called Oshigambo in northern Namibia, where I attended primary school, studying under trees during the day and by candlelight at night. Electricity came to my village only after independence.
</blockquote>
The Namibian minister now has 12 university degrees under his belt including two PhDs.
The statement further said that during his recent doctoral studies, Mushelenga had to switch supervisors, but he overcame the challenge. He said:
<blockquote>
I proceeded with a new supervisor. I further had other demanding responsibilities as a family man, pro-bono lecturer at the University of Namibia, Member of Parliament and Cabinet Minister.
Against all odds, I remained determined to complete my studies. With God being gracious to me, I sailed through and completed my second PhD.
</blockquote>

Namibian Information Minister Graduates With His 12th Degree

Advance Musoki (23), the NUST student who shouted  during the graduation ceremony telling President Mugabe to provide employment to graduates was found convicted of crimonal nuisance.  Bulawayo magistrate Adeline Mbeure convicted Musoki on his own plea and sentenced him to 2 weeks in prison with an option of a fine of $50.  Musoke was represented by the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights Lawyer Mehluli Dube who pleaded  in mitigation that:
<blockquote>The court must consider that he is a first offender and it is not good for first offenders to be sent to jail in case they become hard core criminals,” Dube submitted.
The court must consider that he pleaded guilty to the charge without wasting court’s time showing that he has contrition. The court must deal with this case in view of the current economic hardships. In this case the fact that someone graduates and fails to get a job and this is frustrating.
In this case there is an option of a fine up to level five and I ask for the court to impose a $10 fine to meet the justice of this case.</blockquote>
