Higher education minister Blade Nzimande says he is concerned about increasing cases of bogus institutions awarding honorary doctorates, mostly to celebrities.

This comes after businesswoman and reality TV personality Shauwn Mkhize was given a doctorate in philosophy by the unregistered Good Shepherd College of Religion, Culture and Training.

Nzimande appealed to members of the pubic to be circumspect and not accept such qualifications. He also said an investigation was under way.

😂😂😂😂😂

Aowa even during weekend's this country has no chill aowa 👊😂😂😂😂😎

Why u attached Dr Mkhize

I reckon every South African deserves a PhD! Everything should be free for all, and how about a Lambo or RR for a bit of shopping, a Breitling to stay on time. I did not sacrifice to be poor, no no no Where's Carl_Niehaus?

BusisiweMtungwa They saw how soft South Africa is🤷‍♂️

Blade, Blade really not the sharpest blade in town 🤦‍♂️😁 Just close them and don't come and say they have wrights

Like Dr Pallo Jordan

So why are you using Dr Mamkhize's pic?

akayophuza isminoff loye

Why concerned? It's a free for all anyway...

Eusebius Blade it's time for you to go and rest you've your country enough.

It's Dr Shawn Mkhize to you wena blade

So he is not necessarily concerned about bogus institutions

Worried!!,then what are you doing

Its just an indication of how useless him and his organization are.

What is DrBladeNzimande doing about it, there goes Shawn with one of them what is he going to do? we want to see action!!!!

This country has become a joke.

He says he is concerned about increasing of bogus institutions she should be concerned about the incompetence in his department that is making sure that such things don’t happen😡😡😡

True

As a minister what is Blade doing about it except for being shocked

Kanti it was not a University that conferred? Manje what's with the noise?

Full of shit that 1 no anc cadre cares all they wanna do is line their pockets

Minister is concerned but doing nothing about it. They can publish every registered learning institution on media outlets or tv for everyone to see if particular school or college is registered. And this can be done quarterly esp during college registrations

Mr Blade ke gona o tsoga borokong gona jwale?

And Politicians

What is new Blade? It is happening on your watch you pseudo communist. Not very sharp I might add Blade…..

Mmmmxxxxmmm

The saying, 'Work in silence' , will only bring one to this.

Malatsi a honorary doctorate ekare ke mophako wa soup ya bogologolo e neng e ebidiwa kupukane.

SegopotjeNkadi3 Cause he is not doing his job.. utter useless

it's a huge joke,Even Zuma one day might receive a honorary doctorate...we are fucked

Incompetent minister trying to score cheap points while tertiary problems are worsening! January 2022 is coming with its students' funding challenges!!!

‘’Mostly to bogus celebrities”. There, fixed it for you.

Feel so bad for her especially after the glam lunch….. do research on institutions before accepting doctorates.

Phislash How long was Pallo Jordan a professor now I don't see point of being jealous of Mamkhize , so many fly by nights his department do nothing every year

Well DrBladeNzimande, with a corrupt & incompetent kakistocracy MYANC, it becomes the WildWest CyrilRamaphosa RonaldLamola DlaminiZuma MbalulaFikile GwedeMantashe1 BarbaraCreecy_

They fighting this woman, they never did that to Oscar whn he was committing fraud in EC

He must start with his ANC cdes, people are obsessed with Mamkhize haibo

He will be concerned till he resigns. They always do.🙄

These bogus institutions are a well-established fact. Where is/was this minister when the media exposes these operations.

The only one who was supposed to approve it is you.

Just bcz MaMkhize was beaten shibobo, the minister begin to bark.

Always thought honorary doctorates were a big no-no. Some people really think it means something.

He’s only concerned...but he definitely doesn’t have a plan.

But one your cdes claimed to be a Dr too and none of you exposed him.🙄

That's the way of modern young generation it seems,lies deceit and corruption. Thank goodness for those who seek and strive for honesty and decency and who are GOD FEARING.

😂😂😂

CoruscaKhaya Blade must just shut up.

He's right though, after all that honor was only reserved for politicians

CoruscaKhaya Lol! Let them scam them clearly they dumb

What is he doing about it beside being concerned

Minister shading MaMkhize. 😂

I am not surprised. There is serious need for education in KZN. I mean real education

Honorary Doctorates are utter nonsense. People are calling themselves Drs,

Joo

Kanti la macelebrity akhona don't they go onto DHET to check which institutions are registered and accreditation of courses. They act smart but brain dololo...

Honorary doctorates must be scrapped even from the reputable institutions. People must work for the doctor title
