Mugabe cap debacle: Disciplinary hearing stopped

Harare High Court judge Justice Owen Tagu yesterday granted suspended University of Zimbabwe (UZ) deputy registrar (academic), Ngaatendwe Takawira, a lifeline after ordering a stay of her disciplinary hearing over allegations of procuring a small cap for President Robert Mugabe at the institution’s graduation ceremony.

The drama over Mugabe’s cap debacle has taken several twists and turns, with Takawira making many court applications.

She has argued her suspension was marred with irregularities and ought to be reversed.
