The public has posed a series of questions after the Nkwagulatilo Education Centre in Giyani had a ceremony to confer an honoring degree to ‘Yena aya kwini’ mocking phrase owner, Boti- Majulie.

The Greater Giyani Municipality and the school dominated the headline after the they said they had honored Hlupheka Mabunda with a doctorate in entertainment.

According to Giyani View’s source who is a university lecturer, a PhD is a globally recognized postgraduate academic degree awarded by universities and higher education institutions to a candidate who has submitted a thesis or dissertation, based on extensive and original research in their chosen field.

“We’ve seen a lot of people being honored with doctorates by the universities and not by high schools.

Mabunda’s PhD remains null and void because an ordinary high school can’t confer a doctorate.

“It’s too bad the public thinks we’re jealous and that’s not true, but we need to educate the public about how it all works”, she said.
