By Political Reporter – Social media is buzzing with reactions to a glaring typo on Lupane State University’s graduation program, where the word “University” was mistakenly printed as “Univervisity.”
This notable blunder occurred at LSU’s 15th graduation ceremony, presided over by President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who serves as Chancellor of the university.
The error, found on the cover of the official graduation handbook, has sparked criticism, with many questioning how such an oversight could pass through the institution’s communications department, reportedly staffed with IT and communications professionals.
The team failed to catch the mistake before going to print, an oversight that has raised eyebrows about their proofreading standards.
President Mnangagwa conferred degrees on 1,708 graduates, with female graduates making up 59% of the cohort.
Vice Chancellor Professor Pardon Kuipa praised the high number of female graduates and highlighted the milestone as the university celebrates its 20th anniversary.
Held under the theme “Celebrating Two Decades of Empowering Communities, Shaping Minds, and Creating Positive Futures for All,” the ceremony aimed to honor the university’s legacy of academic growth—despite the unfortunate typo casting a shadow over the event.
