By A Correspondent | What is wrong with an employment agency charging a small fee for applicants?

Over the last 3 weeks calls have been made by many Zimbabweans far and wide for businesswomen, Olinda Chapel and Carol Nyakudya to explain their business models.

Last month, the two launched their projects which they said are to help Zimbabweans obtain job opportunities; but curious citizens have questioned their “sponsor status” paperwork with some raising issues such as discrepancies on their Home Office letters, as highlighted in the pictures below.

The two have been asked and were still to comment at the time of writing.

Nyakudya was accused of giving job seekers who pay the USD100 fee, false hope, because the applicants will still need to go through the English Test which is not easy to pass.

” Why not charge the fee on those who have passed the English Test?,” asked one complainant last night.

One of Nyakudya’s job offers claims that air fares will be paid to applicants which some have said it too good to be true, alleging that it is just a money trap.

The offer reads:
