Superintendent Vigai Maunganidze appeared in court in
Harare on Saturday and was remanded in custody to today for bail hearing.
Investigations revealed that Maunganidze was arrested by
Zacc officials following a tip off.
Allegations are that Maunganidze was already in possession
of the paper which he was scheduled to write, leading to his arrest.
Zacc spokesperson Commissioner Thandiwe Mlobane confirmed
the arrest last night.
“I can confirm the arrest of a senior police officer,
Vengai Maunganidze on Friday, November 11 2022 on allegations of unlawful
possession of an exam paper before the examination day and he appeared in court
on November 12, 2022.
“Investigations are continuing,” she said.
The incident comes after police last month arrested 109
learners who were accused of sharing a leaked Ordinary Level Mathematics Paper
One, with the authorities now considering amendment of the Zimbabwe School
Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) Act to introduce stiffer penalties for cheats.
Investigators also arrested an undisclosed number of school
and examination officials allegedly involved in leaking the paper.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul
Nyathi said the authorities were investigating 28 reported cases of examination
malpractices linked to the Mathematics Paper. Herald
