Dick Chikadza (18) was arrested at Goromonzi High School while seeking to be enrolled for Lower Sixth form using a forged results slip. Chikadza’s original Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) 2016 O-Level results slip had two Us, two Es, two Ds and a C and he did not sit for Computer Studies but he replaced the results with five As, two Bs and a C.
He pleaded guilty to charges of presenting a forged certificate or diploma to a prospective employer or institution of learning with intent to gain employment or admission when he appeared before Harare magistrate Mr Lazini Ncube who will sentence him today. The complainant in the matter is ZIMSEC represented by its assistant security officer, Mr Lee Banda.
The court heard that on February 13, Chikadza went to Goromonzi High School seeking to enroll for Lower Sixth. He produced the forged results slip to the school officials who contacted Zimsec after suspecting that the results slip was fake. According to Mr Banda, Chikadza sat for his exams at Oriel Boys High School and had only one pass in Integrated Science. He was immediately arrested.
