By Tinoonga Mawere, Masvingo| Great Zimbabwe University Vice Chancellor Professor Rungano Mudadirwa Zvobgo has passed a motion to rename the Faculty of Education after President Robert Mugabe.
In a move seen by university lecturers and academics as a political gimmick aimed at pleasing the nonegenarian and his wife Grace, Zvobgo has gone into overdrive and proposed to name the faculty The Robert Mugabe School of Education. The move has since angered lecturers and academics who feel Zvobgo intends to consolidate his stay at the university by buying loyalty from Mugabe.
Ironically the development comes at a time Mugabe has presided over a prolonged economic abyss that has led to an alarming rate of unemployment .The bulk of the Mugabe capped graduates have been reduced to street beggars and airtime vendors.
Addressing university staff at the Great Zimbabwe University main campus Zvobgo said:” We will live the president’s dream. The president deserves respect and honour,” he began.
Therefore the Faculty of Education will be named the Robert Mugabe School of Education .We are doing this to honour his legacy,” he continued.
Furious lecturers last week slammed Zvobgo’s utterances as cheap political grandstanding. “We are puzzled by the utterances. The Mugabe regime has caused untold suffering for us and it is really pathetic because these graduates have nowhere to go after completing their programmes-yet one man wakes up in the blankets and names the Faculty of Education after the same man. It is an insult to all academics and students, “said one lecturer in the faculty.
They angrily added:”Zvobgo and his ilk must moot ideas to help the graduates to find jobs instead of spending time speculating about heaping praises on Mugabe”.

I bet recruitment of students into the faculty of education is going to dwindle. You all know why? Uye, nyika irikuchinja iyi.
Maybe his tenure is about to end. For them to renew it, you must be properly politically aligned. Hence they sing for their supper very loudly. Mugabe shld shame him and decline the offer.
Zvobwo is one of the most corrupt people in the world and he want to be like his father who was used like a condom before disposed off. All ZANU PF thieves only think about praisng a copse, which will never rise. To hell with you Zvobwo mhani. Iko kusanyara kutaura mazwi anonyadzisa kudaro. I wonder if this Zvobwo kind of people are real Karangas because their level of stupidity has reached a bad level.
