Mnangagwa Caps 69 Graduands at Gwanda State University’s 4th Graduation

President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Thursday presided over the fourth graduation ceremony of Gwanda State University (GSU), held at the institution’s Epoch Mine Campus in Matabeleland South Province.

A total of 69 students graduated under the theme “Skilled Human Capital Development: A Catalyst for Innovation, Industrialisation and Commercialisation.” Of these, 51 were male and 18 female, drawn from the Faculties of Engineering and Environment, and Natural Resources Management and Agriculture.

GSU was granted university status through an Act of Parliament in 2016 after operating as a college under the National University of Science and Technology (NUST). Since then, it has expanded to three faculties: Engineering and Environment, Natural Resources Management and Agriculture, and Business Science and Management.

The university’s growth aligns with the government’s Education 5.0 policy, which seeks to transform higher education into a driver of innovation, industrialisation and commercialisation. Officials say the institution continues to play a key role in producing skilled graduates for the country’s economic development.
