Grace Mugabe PhD: Arrest made over corruption allegations
17 February 2018
The vice chancellor of the University of Zimbabwe has been arrested in connection with an investigation into the awarding of a doctorate to former first lady Grace Mugabe.
Levi Nyagura was detained by the country's anti-corruption agency, to be charged with abuse of office.
Mrs Mugabe was awarded a PhD just months after enrolling in 2014, despite it usually taking years to complete.
An investigation was launched after a petition was made by university staff.
Members of the sociology department said they had not seen supporting evidence, and called for the nullification of her qualification and a full investigation.
