263Chat founder latest to reject ‘bogus’ honorary degree from CommonWealth University

Nigel Mugamu the founder of 263Chat has rejected an honorary degree from obscure British institution called the Commonwealth University. The institution asked him to pay $3 500  to enable him to attend a leadership seminar before the graduation ceremony. Sir Nige, as Mugamu is better known on social media, rejected the offer. Explaining on Twitter, Mugamu said:

I have 2 biz (business) degrees that I worked hard to get. Why would I pay money 4 PhD?

MDC-T vice-president, Nelson Chamisa, a lawyer by profession snubbed a similar offer from the same institution saying:

I believe in working and achieving and, if I am going to be awarded, it has to be done from a respectable university.

However, Zimbabwe Tourism Authority boss, Karikoga Kaseke accepted a similar honorary degree from the Commonwealth University.
