Patrick Zhuwao Graduates With A PhD In South Africa
Zhuwao, who previously served as the Minister of Labour and Social Welfare and Minister of Youth Development, Indigenisation, and Economic Empowerment, was studying for his doctorate at the University of the Witswatersrand. He graduated today from the institution in Johannesburg, where he has been based since the 2017 coup.
Zhuwao, a farmer with an IT degree, researched “Harnessing Digital Transformation to Build Social-Ecological Systems Resilience into Institutional Arrangements of Agricultural Transformation.”
In a video shared on social media earlier, Zhuwao looked ecstatic as he leapt and marched, grinning elatedly, to get his graduation stole. His family could also be heard ululating for him from the gallery.
