Harare, Zimbabwe - A magistrate in central Zimbabwe Thursday jailed a school headmaster for four years for a bizarre examination fraud in which he wrote the final exams for students in exchange for cattle.
The headmaster, Fabious Maripise, wrote 11 subjects on behalf of students at his school in the central district of Gokwe, and was given an unspecified number of cattle in return.
He pleaded guilty to the offence, which was unearthed after officials at the local examinations board noticed the similarity in the hand writing of the students from his school.
The fraud involved 'O' Level examinations, the school leaving stage which opens opportunities to colleges and job market.
