We need to have a professional board to be verifying educational documents including the ones the so called expertriates come with.
Props to the cement guys. They should not be arrested but give a grant to further thier reseach on cement. They might come up with a cheaper source of cementitious material.

Only the cement case is interesting. How were the guys doing it? And how do the police know it’s fake cement? May they just further scientific research. That’s innovation

Why forge documents? All you need is just to work your lungs out like some of us who have a chain of degrees, masters degrees and a number of postgraduate diplomas. On top of that we are even persuing Phds. So why should someone forge an academic document? Thyis is stupidity of the highest entropy!

I quote one academician: “UNZA degrees are not easily obtained, some people get cracked on the way. Even those who are hard should work harder in order to reach the shore.”
The culprits of certificate forgery should be caged.

I agree with you ISLANDER. As a graduate of UNZA and another local, African university, and still pursuing post-graduate studies I know tough it is to get these qualifications and how fulfilling it is to actually get them in the end! Cage those who are trying to trivialize a noble pursuit!!

Why the fuss. They give these Matero degreess as honourary ones.It;s the reciepiants that abuse them. ha ha ha. RB was given by some closed University in Southern Province, FTJ was given in Malawi a and Levy came with one from somewhere.

Forgery of such qualifications is quiet serious.This is hogh time when the government through the ministry of education establish an autonomous qualifications authority to be assessing people’s qualifications.Tunfweko plz influence the qovt.

What benefit does one gain by forging qualification papers then fail to perform your duties once employed, shame? cage them till they disclose all the people they have sold these fake documents to and likewise arrest them.

The fake cement issue is really intriguing, how do the Police know it’s fake? Does it work ike cement or not? If so, why not refer these guys to National Scientific Research to get recognition for their invention? Just saying.

Musokotwane should be caged becoz he thot he was clever.Bakapokola this is when ur waking up from slumber.Many people who are in colleges and employment have forged papers.Even congolese pastors who are deported come back and bribe immigration officers and they are given work permits.Pliz catch up with the culprits.
