TWO people have been arrested in separate incidents in Bulawayo and Ngundu on allegations of writing Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (zimsec) Ordinary Level examinations on behalf of their colleagues.

Police yesterday said they were still investigating the cases and the suspects were likely to appear in court soon, facing fraud charges.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the arrests yesterday.

On the first incident, police arrested Faith Moyo (30) for writing an English Paper 1 on behalf of Nobesuthu Dube (34), who has since gone into hiding.

“We can confirm that a Bulawayo woman was arrested at Mncumbata Secondary on June 30, 2020 after conniving to write zimsec examinations for a friend. An alert invigilator verified the candidate number and the name leading to the arrest of the suspect,” said Asst-Comm Nyathi.
A manhunt for Dube has since been launched.

In Ngundu, police arrested a 17-year-old boy on allegations of writing an English Paper Two on behalf of Evaristo Majongwe (23) at Ngundu Halt High School.

Asst-Comm Nyathi said the teenager, whose name is still being withheld, was apprehended by an invigilator who alerted the police leading to his arrest on Thursday-The Herald
