HARARE \u2013 Police have arrested two individuals in separate incidents for allegedly attempting to write examinations on behalf of other candidates during the ongoing ZIMSEC examination period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement released on their official X account, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) confirmed the arrest of Brighton Chinhenga (26) for impersonation at Mukondomi Secondary School in Buhera on October 13, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The suspect was apprehended while attempting to sit for the Mathematics Paper 1 examination on behalf of another candidate,” the police statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a separate incident the following day, police in Magwegwe arrested Mavis Phiri (32) for a similar offence. According to police reports,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“She was caught attempting to sit for the Science Paper 1 examination on behalf of her sister at Masotsha High School in Magwegwe North, Bulawayo.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The arrests come amid heightened security measures during the national examination period, with authorities implementing strict verification protocols to prevent examination malpractice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ZRP has reiterated its commitment to maintaining the integrity of the examination process and warned against any form of cheating or impersonation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“These arrests serve as a stern warning to anyone contemplating examination malpractice. We have zero tolerance for such offences and will continue to work with examination authorities to ensure a credible assessment process,” the police statement added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both suspects are currently in police custody and are expected to appear in court soon to face formal charges of impersonation, which carry severe penalties under Zimbabwean law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
