The Zimbabwe team that fights money stealing has started checking one of their workers. They want to know if this person took cash to hide bad things at a school. We learned about this from talking with the team. They wrote back, saying they never knew about these claims before. They thanked us for telling them and promised to share what happens next.
Anyone who feels upset about how these workers act can tell the bosses. You can send messages by email, WhatsApp or call special phone numbers. The team shared all these ways to reach them. Last Saturday, reporters found that people stole almost sixty thousand dollars from Blakiston Junior School during the past three years. This school sits in the Milton Park area and belongs to the government.
The head teacher, Ms Memory Chaikosa, lost her job on February 17 because of these money problems. Mr Ronald Gurure, who runs the parent group, and Mr Ronald Mashonganyika, who used to handle money, both helped steal funds. A secret paper shows the school should have $58,448.50 more in its bank than it does right now. Where did all this cash go?
People took money but left no papers showing why. Rules say you must keep invoices, receipts, and price lists for every penny spent. The school heads broke these rules many times. Government workers who check school money might have helped hide these problems. The team working to stop stealing will look at everything and decide what happens next.
This case shows how deep money stealing runs in some places. Parents trusted these people with cash meant to help kids learn better. Instead, leaders used it for themselves. The fight against stealing money needs strong people who cannot be paid off to look away. Finding the truth brings hope for making schools work right for all children across Zimbabwe.
