Two ZRP recruits have been caught with fake O’Level certificates.
The two female twins were nabbed after submitting their papers Constabulary work.
They went for submissions last month when they triggered curiosity since they are identical twins and their names were appearing differently on the certificates.
The two Gladys Nyarai and Gracious Nyaradzai Marime (26) were convicted of the crime last week.
They however escaped a 9 month jail term after they were granted the option of community service at Chitungwiza Police Station.
The court heard that on July 30 this year, the twin sisters tendered their forged certificates at Chitungwiza Police Station seeking to be considered for training as police officers.
However, the receiving officer identified as Mavis Matenda became suspicious and immediately discovered that the surname on the certificates was different from their national identity cards.
Matenda then checked with Speciss College where the twins claimed to have sat for their “O”Level examinations and discovered that the certificates were fake.
This led to the twins’ arrest. (Newsday/Additional Reporting)
