Internationally renowned Zimbabwean Pan-Africanist and 2023 PAP Global Awards recipient, Bishop Joshua Marara Maponga 111 is en route to Kampala ahead of Victoria University’s 7th graduation ceremony slated for this Thursday 14, September 2023 at Kololo Airstrip.
According to Pan African Pyramid (PAP) founding Speaker and Chairman Andrew Irumba Katusabe, in charge of his itinerary in Uganda, Maponga will arrive at Entebbe International Airport on Tuesday night, and Thursday morning will be among the high dignitaries slated to speak to the graduands. The chief guest is expected to be the 1st Lady and Minister for Education and Sports, Hon. Janet Kataaha Museveni.
“He’s actually already airborne from Harare to Nairobi using KQ today, then Nairobi to Kampala aboard Uganda Airlines. This is because there is no direct flight from Zimbabwe to Uganda, and those are some of the problems we’ve been discussing as Pan-Africanists. Africa has to work on its interconnections to ease the movement of people and goods,” Irumba told our reporter.
Maponga’s Travel Documents
At the graduation ceremony, Maponga is expected to speak about the African education system that works for Africa. “If an education system teaches you that a white man, not yourself, will solve your problem, then that’s not your education, throw it away,” teaches in one of his books titled “African Problems with African Solutions”

Victoria University on top of the graduation ceremony, has several other activities including the VUSI Masterclass that will be graced by among others Kampala’s finest preacher Apostle Grace Lubega of Phaneroo Ministries International.
