The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) arrested Shylet Mhike, the Masvingo Provincial Education Director on allegations of criminal abuse of duty as a public officer.

She has since appeared at Masvingo Magistrates Court and was remanded out of custody to March 19, 2025 on US$200.00 bail.

Mhike is alleged to have claimed US$600.00 in Travel and Subsistence allowance for an Accounts Verification Exercise in Chivi District, despite not having participated in it.

Mhike allegedly connived with the District Schools Inspector, Ndongwe Evershine and coerced Chivi District Accountant, Tapiwa Mapindani, into processing the fraudulent payment.
