A MUTARE City Council staffer, who used fake certificates to secure
employment at the local authority, consumed an unknown substance in an
attempted suicide case as she failed to fathom the humiliation after the
alleged fraudulent act was exposed.
Miriam Saurombe works as a
personnel officer in the Human Resources Department at Mutare City
Council.
When contacted for comment, Mutare Mayor Councillor Tatenda Nhamarare
referred the matter to the Chamber Secretary, Mr Cephas Vuta, who is
the Acting Town Clerk. Mr Vuta could neither deny nor confirm the
incident citing professional restrictions.
“It is not yet for public consumption. In any case, it is not proper
for me to comment on the issue since I am only acting as Town Clerk. The
Town Clerk is the one who can give a comprehensive comment when he
returns,” he said.
Reliable sources privy to the goings on at the local authority
revealed that Saurombe consumed poison after deciding she could not live
with the humiliation. She was reportedly taken to a local private
hospital last Wednesday before she was discharged last Friday.
“She attempted to cut her own life short after her certificates which
had been taken to Harare for verification turned out to be fake. This
did not go down well with her. She could not face the humiliation and
consumed poison. She is lucky to be alive after she quickly got medical
attention at a local private hospital. Investigations will soon be
conducted,” said the source. manica post
