An 18-year-old woman from Murisa Park, Unit O, Chitungwiza, has been ordered to complete 210 hours of community service by the Harare Magistrates’ Court for falsifying her Ordinary Level examination results.
Shamiso Pretty Bvukure was charged under the Zimbabwe Examination Act, as reported by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA). The court heard that on October 11, 2024, the Police General Headquarters recruiting section sought to verify the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) results for multiple candidates.
During the verification process, authorities found that Bvukure’s results slip had been altered. Changes included modifying her Mathematics grade from U to C, English Language from U to B, Shona Language from E to A, and History from U to A. Additionally, Combined Science and Commerce were added to the slip.
