A student email directory? In what way is that not original research?
I'd call that a primary source; however to link the appearance of a name
in there to a known identity is original research. For instance, if a
student directory included "Blacketer, Samuel Peter" (unlikely ;-) this
would be a primary source for saying that someone called by that
name was a student at that institution, but it would be original research
to link that name to a person about whom you know some other
information.
In this case the name Bona Mugabe didn't even appear where it was
claimed.
