Zimbabwe anti-corruption body investigates Grace Mugabe's PhD
9 January 2018
Zimbabwe's anti-corruption agency is investigating whether the former First Lady Grace Mugabe fraudulently obtained a doctorate.
Lecturers at the University of Zimbabwe filed a petition last week asking to investigate.
She was awarded the PhD just months after enrolling at university in 2014 even though doctorates typically require years of full-time research.
Mrs Mugabe has previously defended her academic record.
In September, she told a governing party rally that she had earned her PhD despite her detractors' scepticism.
