Tisu vanhu vacho episode 15

On this episode, we talk about Acie Lumumba’s tweet about Zim Universities producing useless graduates.

After hiring 100+ graduates across multiple positions I can authoritatively say Zimbabwe produces useless graduates. Useless not as an attack, but as a concern, there is close to nothing you can use them for. NUST has the best crop, UZ you have to retrain, MSU mbodza dzega dzega!

Is he right?
What factors (as far as we can figure) could contribute to his statement being true or false?
How far does it actually go? Are we looking at just Universities or does it start from home?
