Zimbabwe Anti-Coruption Commission (ZACC) chair in charge of the investigations committee, Goodson Nguni, told NewZimbabwe.com on Wednesday that the current probe will into how Grace Mugabe was awarded her PhD by the University of Zimbabwe (UZ) will not lead to her arrest.
Nguni said Grace was not a UZ official hence she was unaware of how PhDs are awarded. Said Nguni:
There is no evidence to probe Grace. Grace is not a University of Zimbabwe official; she does not know the rules of how people are granted PhDs. We are investigating those people who knew the regulations and who fraudulently did whatever they did. If you go to a company on the internet called Pacific University, they award PhDs after small examinations which are not recognised by anybody. If someone decides to go and buy a degree from them, they cannot be charged for that. So we are not probing Grace, we are probing those university authorities who violated university regulations.
Nguni denied an arrest on UZ Vice Chancellor Levi Nyagura should ordinarily lead to a similar arrest on ex-President Mugabe, who was the Chancellor of the university at the time.
