Gift Banda went to court about a fake school paper. The court let him go after he paid US$500. He must stay at his home and not bother anyone about the case until January 3.

The court day had funny parts. Banda came in looking happy in nice clothes. The judge got upset when she saw him in chains. She told guards to take them off since Banda came to the police by himself.

Banda used to help run soccer in Zimbabwe and was also a leader in Bulawayo. His lawyer, Everson Chatambudza, says Banda did nothing wrong. The lawyer told the court that Banda takes care of nine children and owns many things, so he won't run away.

The police say Banda made up fake test results from 1986. They say he used test numbers that belong to someone named Sino Gumbo. The story started when Banda called Mpopoma High School's head teacher about old test results.

Banda told the school he found his old results after they couldn't find them in their books. But when people checked these papers, they say they were fake.

The case matters more because Banda wants a big job in Zimbabwe soccer. His lawyer says the whole thing makes no sense. He asks why someone would take fake papers to their old school.
