The headmaster of Chiwere Secondary School in Odzi, who had lost the school’s 2025 Ordinary Level results to robbers in Dangamvura, breathed a huge sigh of relief after the documents were recovered from a refuse bin in the suburb.
Thanks to the swift reaction of police officers from Dangamvura Police Station, one of the suspects was apprehended soon after the report was made, leading to the recovery of the stolen property.
Acting Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka, confirmed both the robbery and the recovery of the results slips along with other items.He explained that the headmaster, Tizai Gwazhi (49), lost the ZIMSEC O-Level results slips following a violent robbery in Dangamvura on Monday evening last week.
Gwazhi, who had just collected the results from ZIMSEC offices in Mutare, had stopped at a bar in the city’s Central Business District for drinks before heading to a friend’s home in Area 16.
On the way, he was attacked by two assailants who robbed him of the results slips and his cellphone.
Assistant Inspector Chinyoka said police received a tip-off that MacCthy Tshuma of Gimboki South, Dangamvura had been seen selling an Infinix cellphone matching the description of Gwazhi’s stolen device.
Police officers quickly moved in and arrested Tshuma at his residence, House Number 13648, Gimboki South.
Tshuma led police to the recovery of the cellphone, which he had already sold at MaPipe.
He also directed them to House Number 35, Area 3, where he and his accomplice, only known as Maradona, had dumped the stolen results slips in a rubbish bin. Several other school-related documents were also retrieved from the bin. — Manica Post
