Gift Banda arrested over fake O-level certificate

Sports Writer

Former Zifa vice-president and interim president, Gift Banda, (54) was arrested yesterday on allegations of forging an Ordinary Level certificate.

Banda, also a former Bulawayo councillor and deputy mayor, spent last night at Western Commonage Police Station assisting police with investigations.

Police spokesman, Commissioner Paul Nyathi told Chronicle Sport late last night that Banda, a prominent city businessman who loves super cars, was being held on allegations of forgery.  

Banda has expressed intention to file papers for the Zifa elections set for early next year.  Candidates must, among other requirements, demonstrate they hold five Ordinary Level passes, and it is believed Banda does not possess them.

Also arrested yesterday was one Anele Zikhali of Bulawayo who allegedly produced the fake certificate in question.  

Comm Nyathi said the document claims Banda passed the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (Zimsec) tests in 1986 at Mpopoma High School in Bulawayo yet, at that time, the school, like many others nationally, only offered Cambridge examinations.  Zimsec was established in 1996.

He said more details about the arrests would be released today.
