A school head at St Rupert Mayer High School answered claims about money problems through the parents' WhatsApp group. Kudzai Mudzingwa responded after an audit report leaked, showing issues from 2019 to 2024. She talked to parents who wanted answers about poor teaching conditions. She blamed several problems, including broken solar panels from a November storm that left the school without electricity. She mentioned teachers going on leave with no replacements.
Mudzingwa said she has a bad relationship with school authorities, who she claims want to replace her. She directly challenged one parent about the evidence behind the accusations. She stated that she plans to leave the school soon. Parents ask why the cash collected for school projects never reaches the bank. They point out rules requiring all money to be deposited intact into school accounts.
The audit found that payment vouchers lacked proper signatures from school leaders. Parents note the head serves as the accounting officer responsible for everything at the school. As chair of the finance committee, the head should approve all payments. The finance team includes the head, deputy, student development committee leaders, and responsible authority representatives.
