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>

Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo Polytechnic graduation in pictures

Harare Polytechnic graduands’ parents were denied entry into the premises, amid claims that the Guest of Honor, Higher Education Minister Professor Jonathan Moyo had ordered that no one should be allowed in, during his speech.
One of the parents who spoke to Capitalk FM on condition of anonymity said:
<blockquote>Vakadii kungotiudza kuti tisauye kuno vana vacho vagraduate tisipo pane kutifambisa all the way only to deny me entry to witness my child graduating. (Why didn’t they just tell us not to come and let our children graduate on their own rather than make us travel all the way only to deny me entry to witness my child graduating.).</blockquote>
Efforts by Capitalk FM to get a from Harare Poly authorities were fruitless as the ceremony was still underway. The authorities only apologised for the issue and promised to give a full statement after the graduation ceremony.

Chamisa to graduate as a pastor today

Addressing graduands and delegates at <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Morgan_Zintec_Teachers_College">Morgan ZINTEC</a>’s 39th graduation ceremony, Higher Education Minister Professor <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Jonathan_Moyo">Jonathan Moyo</a> said universities, teachers’ colleges, polytechnics and industrial training centres should desist from excluding students from writing examinations especially when they have attended lectures.
He also said vice chancellors and principals should manage the payment of tuition fees rationally through the use of methods such as withholding results instead of barring students from writing examinations,
<blockquote>In the first place, why do higher and tertiary institutions allow fees defaulters to attend lectures, submit assignments and write tests only to stop them from writing examinations at the end of the year or semester? The ministry encourages all institutions to allow students to sit for examinations while appropriate payment arrangements are worked out between the institution and the students.</blockquote>
Moyo congratulated the 872 teachers who graduated with Diploma of Education with the institution recording its highest ever pass rate which stood at 99 percent.
