The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) has arrested a senior cop after he was found in possession of an examination paper that he was supposed to write for a law degree.
Superintendent Vigai Maunganidze was supposed to write an examination for the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree and was arrested by Zacc officials following a tip-off.
Maunganidze appeared in court in Harare on Saturday and was remanded in custody to today for bail hearing.
Allegations are that Maunganidze was already in possession of the paper which he was scheduled to write, leading to his arrest.
Confirming the arrest, Zacc spokesperson Commissioner Thandiwe Mlobane said: “I can confirm the arrest of a senior police officer, Vengai Maunganidze on Friday, November 11, 2022 on allegations of unlawful possession of an exam paper before the examination day and he appeared in court on November 12, 2022.
“Investigations are continuing,” she said.
The incident comes as police last month arrested 109 learners who were accused of sharing a leaked Ordinary Level Mathematics Paper One, with the authorities now considering amendment of the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (Zimsec) Act to introduce stiffer penalties for cheats.
Investigators also arrested an undisclosed number of school and examination officials allegedly involved in leaking the paper.
