Cursory: The internet was shocked at the news about a teacher who was awarded a plastic bowl for his hard work, see pictures.


A Zimbabwean teacher might have received one of the weirdest awards in history after the school administration awarded him a large plastic dish for all his hard work, and Mzansi couldn’t believe it.
@TheTruthPanther, an independent news and trends reporter, shared the snap on Twitter and added that the educator was awarded for achieving 32 As for his advanced-level class.
Some peeps pointed out that the award could be because of Zimbabwe’s economic state.
Zimbabwe has not had a good time since its massive economic crisis that occurred back in the 2000s. The country has not recovered since and even went through a change of leadership that hasn’t changed how things function. The state also struggles to pay service workers.

South Africans could only crack up at the pic, while others sympathised with the dude.
