A GRADUATION ceremony of more than 1000 nurse aides ended
prematurely after one student was stripped by the other graduands over money in
Harare Gardens on Friday.
Graduands dragged one of the students Eurita Churu and stripped
her as she tried to escape over failure to give them their certificates and
other services she promised after she demanded extra money from them.
The aspiring nurse aides vowed not to leave Eurita until
she availed one Evans Mudavanhu whom they accused of dealing with her in
defrauding them.
Police moved swiftly to disperse the graduands and arrested
Eurita along with Trisah Mudavanhu and another student only identified as
Sarah. They were taken to central police station where they were
detained and more than 300 aspiring nurse aides were vowing to lodge a police
report against Eurita and Mudavanhu.
“We want Evans here because he is the one who sent Eurita,
Trisah and Sarah to demand money on a training they said was being funded by a
nongovernmental organization,” said one of the students.
“What irked us is that they are failing to give us our
certificates only to give us fake ones written different things.
“Mudavanhu was ordering these ladies to ask us pay US$95
each to cover cost of food on this graduation day, name tags, uniforms and
certificates.
“Mudavanhu demanded US$10 from those who wanted to be
helped in getting attachment to hospitals like Parirenyatwa, Chitungwiza and
Harare among others.
“He even bedded some of the students promising them jobs,”
said the student.
Contacted for comment Mudavanhu pleaded with H-Metro over
publishing the story.
“Please do not publish that story, where are you so that we
can agree mkoma pakaipa,” said Mudavanhu.
He claimed one of the arrested people was his wife but she
has since been released.
“My wife and the other ladies were released by police since
I had paid them to protect the graduation ceremony.
“The arrests were meant to escort them safely from the
people who were baying for their blood, mukadzi wangu nditori naye
havanakusungwa hapana nyaya,” said Mudavanhu. H Metro
