PARENTS and guardians with pupils attending Catholic-run Gokomere High and Primary schools, have approached the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) demanding an audit of the learning centres’ finances while complaining standards were “nose-diving”.
The two Masvingo-based schools are some of the best performing learning centres in Zimbabwe.
The petition was addressed to the ZACC executive secretary Sukai Tongogara and copied to the Auditor General’s Office, the President’s Office, Police Commissioner-General Godwin Matanga, and the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishop’s Conference.
The parents are requesting an audit of the institution’s financials suspecting misappropriation of funds by the schools’ authorities.

A HARARE woman is in trouble with the law for allegedly duping an unsuspecting victim of her money while pretending to be a lawyer who was also Police Commissioner General Godwin Matanga’s daughter.
Evelyn Matanga (29) is accused of defrauding one Hilda Ndoro of US$2 395 in a residential stand deal.
She was Friday denied bail by Harare magistrate Dennis Mangosi.
According to prosecutors, sometime in October last year, Ndoro was introduced to Matanga by her daughter.
The daughter told Ndoro that Matanga was a legal practitioner who could help her through processes of purchasing a residential stand in Harare’s Damofalls.

FINANCE Minister Mthuli Ncube, Home Affairs Minister Kazembe Kazembe, and the Police Commissioner-General Godwin Matanga have evaded imprisonment after compensating Loveness Chiriseri, a victim of a police shooting over $1.4 million.
The two senior officials risked imprisonment for contempt of court after they failed to pay compensation to Chiriseri as ordered by High Court judge, Justice Edith Mushore in July 2020.
However, Thursday, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) saved Ncube, Kazembe, Matanga, and Chief Inspector Modwick Musonza, the officer-in-charge of St Mary’s police station in Chitungwiza from serving jail time after they paid full compensation totalling $1 418 703.09 to Chiriseri.
