Great Zimbabwe University's chancellor has broken ground at the site of the institution's new permanent campus, according to Herald.co.zw. The ceremony followed a graduation event at which 3,496 students were capped.
Herald.co.zw reported the developments under a headline linking the groundbreaking to the capping ceremony. The report did not specify the location of the new site or a timeline for construction.
Coverage of the graduation also touched on other matters. Pindula News reported that President Mnangagwa praised a milling plant in Chivi and a smart ID initiative known as LifeTap during the GZU graduation. Herald.co.zw separately reported that Professor Zvobgo was mourning two students who died in a crash while travelling to the graduation. Tuko News also carried a report on a student who died in an accident ahead of the ceremony.
The groundbreaking points to a long-term building programme for the university, though the available reporting gives no cost estimates, funding details or completion dates. Herald.co.zw's account likewise did not describe the scale of the planned campus.
The next thing to watch is official detail on the campus project itself — its location, design and construction schedule — as well as any further statements from the university on the students lost in the crash.
