The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) said that eight suspects, among them, a 52-year-old man, have been arrested for various fraudulent activities since the commencement of the 2023 public examinations. A statement released by ZIMSEC reads:
<blockquote>
The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) issued a statement on the 15th of October 2023, informing the nation that some fraudsters had been marketing and selling fake 2023 November examination papers on social media platforms.
ZIMSEC wishes to give the following update on examination malpractice cases to the nation and our stakeholders as of the 23rd of October 2023,
1. At the time of writing this statement there are no ZIMSEC November 2023 Examinations Candidates who had pre-access to the 2023 question papers in as far as the Examinations which were sat for.
2. Investigations were done to weed out the fraudsters who were capitalising on unsuspecting candidates. As a result of the investigations, there have been some arrests and culprits have appeared before the courts.
a) ZIMSEC Security and Loss Control Officers with the assistance of members of the Commercial Crime Department of the Zimbabwe Republic Police arrested Cole Mutandwa of Kuwadzana after he was implicated in advertising and selling fake ZIMSEC Examination Question Papers. Mutandwa implicated Paddington Nhedza a first-year student at the Midlands State University, as the source of the fake question papers found in his cell phone. Cole Mutandwa appeared before the Magistrate at Rotten Row courts on the 18th of October where he admitted to the charge of fraud. He was convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of USD100 or 3 months imprisonment.
Paddington Nhedza was brought to Harare where after being interviewed he revealed to the investigating officers that he got the fake scanned copy of Maths question paper 1 from Alishah T Mangisi an Ordinary Level student at Emmanuel Centre of Excellence located in Kuwadzana Extension. Alishah claimed to have taken the fake question paper off a WhatsApp group, Slimy Intertainment (a group for models) and forwarded it to Paddington for assistance in finding the solutions.
Paddington Nhedza appeared before a magistrate at Harare Magistrates Court on the 21st of October 2023. He pleaded not guilty and was remanded out of custody to the 25th of October 2023. Alishah T Mangisi will be taken to court on the 24th of October 2023, since she was scheduled to sit for the ZIMSEC Commerce Paper on the 23rd of October 2023. All accused persons are being charged for being found in possession of articles for criminal use, as defined in section 40 of the Criminal Law (codification and reform act chapter 9:23)
b) The Investigations team arrested George Bukuta, aged 52, after being alerted by a vigilant invigilator at Life Long College who noticed that Bukuta was impersonating an examinations candidate using a passport which showed a date of birth of 05.04.1995 belonging to Shadreck Mutsau. After being apprehended Bukuta confessed that he had been paid USD200 by Shadreck Mutsau, candidate number 5036, to write Advanced level Family and Religious Studies and History on his behalf. Both parties have been apprehended and are awaiting to appear before the courts.
c) On the 20th of October 2023, the Investigations team was alerted of an attempt by Mr Simbarashe Chifura, who was conducting extra lessons at his place of residence in Budiriro 1. Mr Chifura approached Mr Edwell Tazvivinga a teacher at Danbrough College proposing a deal to smuggle a ZIMSEC Examinations answer sheet out of the Examinations room which he intended to use to write Ordinary Level Combined Science paper 2 for external candidate number 3112, Monica Mikairi. Mr Tazvivinga alerted his superiors who contacted Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education officials and the ZRP who set a plan to catch the culprit in the act. In the examination. Monica Mikairi was observed as she sat and did not write anything throughout the whole session. Meanwhile, Simbarashe Chifura assigned a motor mechanic, Patrick Zhanje to go and collect the answer sheet. The Police apprehended Patrick Zhanje handing over the answer sheet to Mr Chifura and took both of them into custody. The culprits appeared before the Magistrates’ court in Mbare on the 21st of October 2023.
3. In light of the above cases identified during these investigations, ZIMSEC continues to roll out strategies and measures to tighten the security wherever question papers are, in transit and in custody, pending the writing of the examinations. Investigation teams remain on the ground and vigilant to weed out any residual unscrupulous elements within and without the chain.
4. ZIMSEC applauds the vigilance and integrity of Centre Administrators and invigilators who are working tirelessly to maintain the integrity of the examinations and education system of the nation as a whole.
ZIMSEC is committed to upholding the integrity of the examination system in the country. We wish to thank the public and all our stakeholders for their interest and cooperation to ensure the integrity of our examination system. ZIMSEC wishes to thank the ZRP, state security agencies and the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education for working around the clock and leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the perpetrators of all examinations malpractices are brought to book.

ZIMSEC Says Eight Exam Fraudsters Arrested

Teacher unions have urged parents of Ordinary Level students whose results were nullified to sue the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC).
ZIMSEC released the 2022 O’ Level examinations on Friday last week  but withheld the results of almost 5 000 candidates across the country for alleged cheating.
Mukaro High School in Masvingo province is reportedly the worst affected school after the entire school’s O Level results were nullified.
Speaking to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200007089/more-troubles-brew-for-zimsec">NewsDay</a>, Educators Union of Zimbabwe secretary-general Tapedza Zhou said parents must sue ZIMSEC for nullifying their children’s results. He said:
<blockquote>
We have been representing teachers, but we are urging parents to sue ZIMSEC. We have not witnessed something like this since Zimbabwe’s independence and during the Rhodesian era.
Almost 5 000 results were nullified, it’s a joke. ZIMSEC has put the name of the country into disrepute and our academic credentials will likely be undermined.
We don’t condone corruption and we don’t condone examination leakages, but the teachers we are representing are underpaid and they are the markers. If action is not taken, there will be more leakages this year.
</blockquote>
Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) president Obert Masaraure said:
<blockquote>
The withdrawal of results for almost 2% of the candidates doesn’t eliminate the risk of fake evaluation outcomes.
That punishes poor parents who religiously pay education fees. These parents have no mandate to secure examinations and ZIMSEC is solely to blame for this.
</blockquote>
ZIMSEC spokesperson Nicky Dlamini told NewsDay that concerned parents and candidates who had their results nullified should approach their schools first. She said:
<blockquote>
Affected students must approach their respective schools before approaching ZIMSEC.

Teacher Unions Urge Parents To Sue ZIMSEC Over Nullified Results

The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) says it nullified the results of 4 961 candidates who sat for the 2022 Ordinary Level examinations for cheating.
In a statement released on Friday, 03 February, ZIMSEC board chairperson Eddie Mwenje said the figure represents 1.78% of the total candidate entry. He said:
<blockquote>
Candidates who had pre-access to question papers at different examination centres were identified during the writing of the examinations and also at the marking of scripts and grade review stages.
The results of such candidates were nullified for the subjects in question in accordance with the ZIMSEC Act section 34.
Candidates, headmasters and members of the public who were caught posting question papers on WhatsApp and those buying them were arrested and appeared in court.
All other practices that contravened the ZIMSEC Act were brought to the attention of ZIMSEC by respective schools.
As a result of the combined investigation reports from schools, and the identification of culprits at the marking and grade reviews stages, a total of 4 961 candidates had results nullified.
This number is out of 278 760 who registered for the Ordinary Level examination. The number represents 1.78% of the total candidate entry.
</blockquote>
The examinations were marred by several irregularities and some education stakeholders had called for the nullification of the examination.
Mwenje said the overall pass rate for the 2022 O’ Level examinations increased by 2.62% to 28.96% compared to 26.34% recorded in 2021. He said:
<blockquote>
A total of 278 760 candidates sat for the November 2022 examinations as compared to 249 914 candidates who sat for the same examinations in 2021.
There was an increase in the candidature of 28 846, thus translating to an increase of 11.54%.
In 2022, a total of 183 584 wrote five or more subjects and 53 169 passed five or more subjects with a grade C or better giving an overall pass rate of 28.96% as compared to l63 179 candidates who wrote five or more subjects in 2021, with 42 985 passing five or more subjects with a Grade C or better yielding a pass rate of 26.34%. The statistics show that the 2022 pass rate increased by 2.62% from 2021.

ZIMSEC Nullifies Results Of 5 000 O' Level Candidates For Cheating

Five learners from Vhembe High School in Beitbridge have been found guilty of cheating in the November 2022 ZIMSEC Ordinary Level examinations.
The learners were slapped with suspended sentences varying from six months to a year.
The learners were identified as Immaculate Mapako (18), Eussein Makaranga (18), Tinotenda Mavusi (16), Paul Moto (16), and Patricia Dube (18).
Prosecutor Olivia Chamutinya said the learners accessed different leaked exam papers through social media.
She said the matter only came out after one of the students alerted the invigilator Lindani Sibanda who in turn informed the school head Petros Sibanda during an exam that she had seen the paper that she was writing.
Beitbridge Magistrate Variro Gabi sentenced Mapako to 12 months, suspended two months for Makaranga and Dube got eight months, while Mavusi and Moyo were sentenced to six months each. All the learners will do community service.
In passing the sentences, the magistrate considered the learners’ ages.
The verdict was delivered on Wednesday last week. | <a href="https://masvingomirror.com/5-beitbridge-students-get-1-year-sentences-for-cheating%ef%bf%bc/">The Mirror</a>

Community Service For Five Beitbridge O' Level Exams Cheats

A 19-year-old man from Bellevue suburb in Bulawayo was ordered to perform 105 hours of unpaid service for cheating during the 2022 public examinations.
David Chipendo was convicted of cheating during last year’s Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) Ordinary Level examinations.
Chipendo appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Busani Sibanda facing charges of gaining access to examination material as defined in Section 35 (a) of the Zimbabwe School Examination Council Act Chapter 25:18.
He was initially sentenced to seven months imprisonment but four months of his sentence was suspended for five years on condition of good behaviour.
The remaining three months were suspended on condition that he performs 105 hours of community service at Donnington Police Station.
In passing the sentence the magistrate noted that Chipendo was a first offender.
However, Magistrate Sibanda ruled that the option of a fine was going to trivialise the offence and thus community service will allow Chipendo to introspect and also deter would-be offenders.
Allegations were that on 4 October 2022, Chipendo was writing the Ordinary Level Combined Science Paper 2 at Herentals College situated at Corner 6th Avenue and Lobengula Street.
It was further alleged that while collecting the answer sheets from the students, the informant discovered that Ndlovu had folded and torn answer sheets.
The informant quickly alerted the authorities who seized the material which they discovered was prepared answers for the Combined Science Paper 2 which was being written.
The matter was reported to the police and investigations led to Chipendo’s arrest. | <a href="https://www.bmetro.co.zw/exam-cheat-spared-jail-agony/">B-Metro</a>
