Minister Blade Nzimande Pours Water On Sello Maake ka Ncube’s Honorary Doctorate
In a recent development, Minister of Higher Education, Blade Nzimande, has cast doubt on the legitimacy of Sello Maake ka Ncube’s honorary degree, along with those of Winnie Mashaba and Elizabeth Serunye. According to Sowetan LIVE, the trio received honorary doctorates from Trinity International Bible University, an institution that Minister Nzimande claims is not registered and therefore has no authority to offer any qualifications.
This revelation has sparked controversy and raised questions about the authenticity of the honorary degrees conferred by Trinity International Bible University. The university’s lack of registration and accreditation has led Minister Nzimande to pour water on the legitimacy of the degrees, leaving the recipients in an awkward position.
Sello Maake ka Ncube, a renowned South African actor, and his fellow recipients, Winnie Mashaba and Elizabeth Serunye, may need to reevaluate their association with the university and its qualifications. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying the authenticity and accreditation of academic institutions to avoid such controversies.
Minister Blade Nzimande’s statement has cast a shadow over the honorary degrees conferred by Trinity International Bible University, and it remains to be seen how the affected individuals and the university will respond to this development.
