"Amazing" Grace Mugabe graduates with Doctorate in record time
Mike Smith blog: 18th of September 2014

I am always in awe of super-human achievements. 90 Year old Robert Mugabe's wife, DisGrace Mugabe (49) astounded the world by earning a Ph.D. in a record time of only three months after enrollment. She was capped by her husband who is also chancellor of the University of Zimbabwe. The title of DisGrace's thesis was: "The changing social structure of the family: The case of children's homes in Zimbabwe".
'New Zim' related article.

#5  Grace was reluctant to provide any further information regarding her thesis, previous academic background, studies pursued, grades, etc. In fact, we could find no one who actually remembers her on campus.

#6  I thought for sure her thesis would of had the word 'inflation' in it some where.

#8  Grace was reluctant to provide any further information regarding her thesis, previous academic background, studies pursued, grades, etc. In fact, we could find no one who actually remembers her on campus.

But, at least, her birth certificate is available?

#9  Is the University of Zimbabwe the former University of Robert Mugabe? You can't usually enroll in three months in the U.S. with all the paperwork and prep.
