The headmaster who stole students examination fees has been remanded in custody. Ivyluck College headmaster Tafadzwa Chikohora (31) has been accused of stealing fees for three students who wanted to sit for their Zimsec O’ Level November 2024 examinations.
According to The Herald, he was remanded in custody to
October 25 for bail application. The court heard that sometime in May this
year, the college was entrusted with US$729 in examination fees to register
three students for Zimsec ‘O’ Level examinations for November this year at
Ellis Robins High School, which is a registered Zimsec examination centre.
Chikohora converted the money to his own use and failed to
register the students as agreed. Chikohora concealed his actions by forwarding
to the college fake statements of entry purporting that he had registered the
students for the Zimsec November 2024 examinations.
The State further alleges that Chikohora later created
counterfeit Zimsec examination papers, and facilitated for the students to take
these fraudulent examinations at the Ellis Robins High School laboratory.
After the exams were completed, Chikohora destroyed the
counterfeit papers to conceal his actions.
The court heard that the fraudulent scheme was uncovered
when students discussed the contents of the examination papers with other
students, leading to suspicions that prompted Chikohora’s arrest.
