The police have issued a stern warning saying they were
seized with the matter and will ensure the arrest of all those illegally
circulating examination papers on social media or physically. Zimsec
spokesperson Ms Nicholette Dlamini confirmed the latest developments in an
interview with Sunday News yesterday.
“We are investigating all the reports of suspected leaks as
we want to ascertain the extent of the pre-access. Our security people are on
the ground trying to establish the extent of the leakage. We will then make a
decision on whether there will be re-writes once investigations are complete,”
said Ms Dlamini.
Zimsec early last week confirmed that the Ordinary Level
Mathematics Paper One which was written on Tuesday morning had leaked.
The paper was to be followed by an English one which is
also reported to have leaked. Ms Dlamini said
investigations were expected to be completed before the second phase of
the examinations.
“Our examinations are in the first phase and we hope to
complete our investigations before the commencement of the second phase which
is early November. As such, that is when we will be in a position to state when
and how the leaked examinations will be written and if they will be written,”
said Ms Dlamini.
While the examination body says none of its staffers have
been arrested so far, police have confirmed that 11 cases have so far been
reported countrywide.
“The police confirms that it is conducting criminal
investigations in connection with the leakage and circulation of the 2022
O-level Zimsec examination papers throughout the country. So far, 11 cases have
been reported to the police in all parts of the country,” said national police
spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi in a statement. Sunday News
