Goat award lands school in trouble

A CHIWESHE school has landed in trouble with auditors after awarding a goat to teacher as a token of appreciation for producing the best Grade 7 results in Mashonaland Central in the 2013 examinations.

Auditors from Mazowe offices ordered Goteka Primary School authorities to pay back the amount equivalent to the goat the school bought for Phizibano Matura, a former Grade 7 teacher.
When asked for comment, Ishmael Mashanje, the school head, could neither confirm nor deny the allegations.
