The excitement of being referred to as Dr Dube soon fizzled out once the institution requested that he pay R15K that would go into catering for the graduation ceremony:

"That's when they gave it away, and I suspected they were taking me for a ride. I ran away and left them with their doctorate!"

Sadly, not everyone had Phumlani's foresight, and the institution has been consistently handing out qualifications to local celebrities and politicians for years.
