Zimbabwe student challenge Grace Mugabe's Phd

A Zimbabwe student union Zinasu was due to take Grace Mugabe to court on Wednesday.
This involves a PhD which the first lady was awarded by the University of Zimbabwe.
Critics are asking why Grace Mugabe's thesis does not appear online.
The country's vice president Joice Mujuru  graduated with a PhD at the same time.
Her thesis already appears on the University of Zimbabwe website.
To explain this the state-owned Herald quoted an unnamed senior academic at UZ.
It's claimed that publishing a PhD dissertation can take to up to a year and that of the 12 PhD students only the vice president’s thesis had been uploaded.
Student union Zinasu denies it’s targeting the first lady. 
But that it's protecting the credibility of the country’s education system.
This follows reports that President Robert Mugabe's wife got her degree just two months after she registered for the course.
