Vimbai Manaka (39) is facing two charges of criminal abuse of office and contravening a section of the Zimbabwe School Examination Council Act.
Bonaventure Mungwiro (42), who teaches at Manunure High in Kwekwe, his brother Bernadino, a teacher at Munyati High in Kwekwe, Michael Chiridzo (40) and Lloyd Mpofu both teachers at Chirodzo Private College in Kwekwe and William Gondo, a director of Booms College in Mkoba 2, Gweru, are also facing similar charges and will appear in court again on February 4.
It is the State’s case that on November 3 last year, Manaka received 2013 “O” Level exam papers for Geography Paper 2 and Integrated Science Paper 2.
Manaka allegedly kept the question papers in the school’s safe which he kept at his house.
He allegedly sold the exam papers to Mpofu, a teacher at Chirodzo College who later sold the papers to various people in Kwekwe.
Police received information that Mpofu was selling Geography and Science exam papers.
