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!"

Mzansi celebs honoured with Trinity University qualifications

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

Briefly News shared a list of socialites who bagged bogus qualifications from the institution, including Sello Maake kaNcube and Elizabeth Serunye (Principal Thobakgale on Skeem Saam), who graduated on the same day.

With Phumlani Dube's story in mind, it begs the question of whether or not other celebs were coerced into paying for their qualifications for the sake of having a Dr title in their name.
