PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe has been judged the most educated African leader by a popular African website which however places him an ignominious third among the continent's worst leaders.
According to the latest rankings published by AnswersAfrica.com, which focuses on African affairs, Zimbabwe's founding leader outshines his younger peers with seven degrees to his name.
Among Mugabe's academic credentials are degrees in economics and law obtained with South African and London universities.
The veteran President, who leads Africa's most literate nation, also holds 14 honorary degrees from both local and international universities.
Three degrees from international universities have however been revoked.
Other African leaders who top the list of the educated are Benin's Thomas Boni, who is ranked second with four degrees, Morocco's King Mohammed VI (third) and Malawi's Peter Mutharika who is number four.
But while Mugabe can bask in the glory of topping the list of Africa's most schooled, he will not do the same on being rated the third worst leader.
"President Mugabe has helped bring freedom to Zimbabweans only to get power drunk, and has refused to step down since 1980," reads the site.
