Zimbabwean university staffer suspended in Mugabe cap mishap

For Zimbabwean leader Robert Mugabe, one size does not fit all.
Court papers say a senior staffer at the University of Zimbabwe has been suspended for allegedly procuring academic caps for Mugabe that were too small for his head.
The papers, filed this week, say the longtime leader ended up wearing a cap that was rejected as too small last year while officiating at an Oct. 2 graduation ceremony in his role as chancellor of Zimbabwe's dozen-plus state universities.
Ngaatendwe Takawira, an assistant registrar at the University of Zimbabwe, has approached the labor court to try to stop disciplinary hearings against her over the cap mishap.

The university alleges that the graduation ceremony had to be delayed by 45 minutes while authorities scrounged around for a cap that fit Mugabe.
