Popular musician Patience Namadingo and social media influencer Pemphero Mphande are facing embarrassment and ridicule on social media platforms following the University of South Africa (Unisa) statement which says the university did not confer the two with honorary degrees.
In a statement Unisa has issued available on its website, it says it has just learnt through the media claims that the two and a"certain Mansoor Sharif Karim claim to have received honorary doctorates from the university in 2020, 2022 and 2023 respectively."
But Namadingo has hit back at the university, asking why it has taken them three years to distance themselves from the honorary degree. "I was recognised at a well patronised ceremony alongside other individuals from Zimbabwe, Botswana, Congo, South Africa and Nigeria as per photo below. To this effect, until UNISA can explain how this has been allowed to happen for years, I reserve any further comments on the matter.
