Zimbabwe appointed Nanette Silukhuni to the state television board despite serious problems with her education claims. The former anti-corruption deputy chairperson appears to hold fake university degrees from schools that do not exist. Investigators found she listed Hong Kong University on her resume when no such place operates. Her doctorate comes from Aldersgate University which experts consider questionable. The Information Ministry gave her the broadcasting position anyway.

President Mnangagwa's niece Helliate Rushwaya will lead the new ZBC board as chairperson. Advocate Tapson Dzvetero serves as her deputy on the 13-member team. Silukhuni works as head of strategic planning at the Information Ministry after getting hired without interviews. Sources claim she received the government job through personal connections rather than merit. The board appointment extends her influence over state media operations.

Other new members join the broadcasting corporation leadership team for four-year terms. The appointments follow rules under the Public Entities Corporate Governance Act. Secretary Nick Mangwana announced the selections through official government notice. Board members will oversee Zimbabwe's main television and radio stations. The controversy over fake qualifications raises questions about government hiring practices.
