A headmaster at Chikwere Secondary School in Odzi, Tizai Gwazhi (49), lost Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (Zimsec) Ordinary Level results slips after being attacked in Dangamvura on Monday evening.

Gwazhi had reportedly collected the results from Zimsec offices in Mutare earlier in the day before stopping at a bar in the high-density suburb for drinks. According to police sources, he was ambushed by two assailants while walking to a friend’s home after leaving the bar.

The attackers allegedly robbed him of the results slips and his cellphone. The incident has raised concern among parents and school authorities due to the critical importance of the examination results to candidates awaiting them.

Without the slips, learners’ ability to proceed with applications for further education or employment could be disrupted. Police have since launched investigations and appealed to members of the public with information that may assist in recovering the stolen documents or apprehending the suspects to report to the nearest police station.

The robbery has also highlighted ongoing security challenges surrounding the handling of examination materials, prompting calls for tighter protocols to safeguard sensitive educational documents.
