Harare Polytechnic graduands’ parents were denied entry into the premises, amid claims that the Guest of Honor, Higher Education Minister Professor Jonathan Moyo had ordered that no one should be allowed in, during his speech.
One of the parents who spoke to Capitalk FM on condition of anonymity said:
Vakadii kungotiudza kuti tisauye kuno vana vacho vagraduate tisipo pane kutifambisa all the way only to deny me entry to witness my child graduating. (Why didn’t they just tell us not to come and let our children graduate on their own rather than make us travel all the way only to deny me entry to witness my child graduating.).
Efforts by Capitalk FM to get a from Harare Poly authorities were fruitless as the ceremony was still underway. The authorities only apologised for the issue and promised to give a full statement after the graduation ceremony.
