A HEADMASTER at a school in Kariba has been arrested for allegedly writing a June Ordinary Level Mathematics examination paper for two middle-aged external candidates who promised him a 'reward' if they passed.
Fish Tarzen Chiyangwa (42) of Mola Secondary School, in Kariba district sat for the examination on June 4 this year on behalf of Mairos Siyabwanda (40) of Mujokeri Village and John Makayi (35) of Kai Village - all under Chief Mola.
Chiyangwa pleaded guilty to the charge and was duly convicted and sentenced to six months in prison which would be wholly suspended if he pays a fine of $400.
For the State Mr Vote Zishiri said Chiyangwa received the Mathematics Paper 2 examination paper two weeks before the exam and he kept the papers at the school.
On the day of the exam Siyabwanda and Makayi who had registered as private candidates in March sat together with 20 other candidates and after finishing they all submitted their answer sheets to the two invigilators who were supervising the exam.
Chiyangwa then provided the two candidates with prepared answer sheets.
