The dressing left many believing that things are not too rosy within the house arrest. First Lady Grace Mugabe has not been seen since the army occupied their home three days ago.
Mugabe’s appearance at the graduation took many by surprise with political analysts failing to understand the house arrest conditions Mugabe is being put under by the army.
After the ceremony Mugabe was quickly whisked away back to his house arrest in a heavily armed army convoy.
