@TheTruthPanther, an independent news and trends reporter, shared the snap on Twitter and added that the educator was awarded for achieving 32 As for his advanced-level class. Some peeps pointed out that the award could be because of Zimbabwe's economic state.
A country in turmoil
Zimbabwe has not had a good time since its massive economic crisis that occurred back in the 2000s. The country has not recovered since and even went through a change of leadership that hasn't changed how things function. The state also struggles to pay service workers.
