Efforts to unravel the mysterious disappearance of funds from Makuzeze Primary School appear to have hit a snag after the law enforcements agents yesterday revealed that they had not found anything amiss in the audit report at the centre of the matter.

Matabeleland South Provincial police spokesperson Inspector Christopher Ngwenya yesterday told NewsDay their investigations had failed to link the suspected culprit to the crime.
“We received information from our CID Fraud investigation section that investigations are still in progress, but so far no arrests have been made after three weeks of investigations which is a long period,” said Ngwenya.
Police launched investigations into alleged abuse of funds at the school after receiving a damning audit report from Mangwe Rural District Council.
According to the report, the former school head Victoria Pasipanodya had allegedly failed to account for more than R30 000.
Mangwe Rural District Council, which runs the school, ordered an audit after parents demonstrated against Pasipanodya’s management style and alleged misuse of funds.
Parents also accused her of unofficially transferring three teachers from the school, accusing them of undermining her authority.

Pasipanodya has since been transferred from the school to pave way for investigations, while the affected teachers were reinstated at the parents’ behest.
