Musician Namadingo reacts to UNISA’s rejection of his honorary degree

Well-known musician Patience Namadingo has broken his silence on claims by the University of South Africa denying awarding doctorate degree to him and social media influencer Pemphero Mphande.

On Tuesday UNISA Acting Registrar Professor Moloko Sepota said distanced itself from the honorary degree.

“UNISA wishes to state categorically that it has not conferred any such degrees on the trio and that any assertion to this effect is simply not true.

“As a university, we distance ourselves from these false claims and also condemn in the strongest terms the misuse of UNISA name for fraudulent conduct,” reads part of the statement.

But in his reaction Namadingo said: “We don’t think Doc organized this big event with Professor’s himself. And filled the UNISA great Hall with South Africans just to fool Malawians? And it took years before the university discovered he was in their hall 3years ago with other 35 Graduands from different countries. Only Doc and other 2 Malawians matter then?”

Namadingo went on to share a video of him receiving the honorary degree.
