Zimbabwe: No Rewrite for Leaked Maths Paper - Zimsec

1 November 2017

The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (Zimsec) has quashed social media reports that candidates will resit the Mathematics Paper 1, which leaked and was accessed by at least 12 candidates last week. The candidates, who unduly accessed the Mathematics Paper 1 were arrested for academic fraud and are assisting police with investigations. Social media abusers leapt at the chance to create fake messages suggesting that another paper will be rewritten on November 23.

Zimsec yesterday dismissed the social media messages calling for responsibility among members of the public. The examination body said the false information was creating uncertainty among candidates and derailing their preparations. Zimsec spokesperson Ms Nicky Dlamini said the leaked paper would not be rewritten.
