The University of Zimbabwe students' body and the entire students community around the country wish to make a follow up with the newly appointed President Emmerson Dambudzo  Munangagwa and his government on the issue of a scandalous and bogus degree donated to Grace Mugabe by G40 cabal through their proxy, University of Zimbabwe Vice Chancellor Levi Nyagura.

This issue never come  as a surprise or a virgin concern but a continuation of the November 20 mass students' demonstration which was staged by University of Zimbabwe students with the blessings of all Zimbabweans.

As University of Zimbabwe students we find this as a nett sabotage and aggravated relegation of the students concerns.Over 8000 students flooded the streets on the above stated date,but between then and now we have not heard a single voice from vice chancellor Levi Nyagura or any government official hinting on what probably could have really happened to result in such administrative injustice.

We have learnt with concern that this is probably lack of political will since abundant  powers are vested within the President of the state E.D Munangagwa through the University of Zimbabwe Act [Chapter 25:16], which is pursuent to the Royal Charter of the 11th February 1955 interms of which the University was constituted and founded; and to provide for matters incidential to or connected with the foregoing as is happening in this incident.

Interms of section 7 (2)(b),of the above stated Act,the President of Zimbabwe shall be the chancellor of the University and has ubundant and unrestrained powers to withdraw or restore degrees,diplomas,distinctions or awards, and it only pains the hearts of the students' constituency to learn that the president has not envoked his powers to restore legacy to the entire University Community.

The University Vice Chancellor who interms of this ACT is the chief academic, administrative and disciplinary officer of the University and has the same vast powers of correcting his mess,unfortunately he has done nothing except remaining pompous,arrogant and unrefined to listen to the concerns of thousands who pronged the streets demonstrating against his actions.

The University Council interms of section 13(1)(b)  has vast powers of withdrawing or restoring degrees including Grace Mugabe's degree but these powers have not been used so far to satisfy the public's demand.We have also learnt that university lecturers from the department of sociology have repudiated this degree as a counterfeit and bond degree but your silence boggles the mind Cde President.

We appeal to your high and esteemed office to deal with this issue as a matter of urgency for justice delayed is justice denied.As the holder of the most powerful office on the  land it only helps society if you make use of your abundant powers to maintain the good spirit of constitutionalism and rule of law by withdrawing this illegitimate and imaginary degree awarded to Grace Goreraza Marufu Mugabe undeservedly and if possible proceeding to withdraw the Vice Chancellor or to redeploy him as a farmer before we further expose his shenanigans.

Asante Sana!
A luta continua!
