Lusaka Resident’s Fake PhD, Masters and O’levels EXPOSED
A Lusaka resident has been reported to police for possessing fake academic
qualifications, including a PhD in economics, which he has been using to
get employment from various institutions.
And the Zambia Federation of Employers has confirmed reporting Tinaye
Mugadza to Lusaka central police station for possessing fake academic qualifications.
Mugadza purports to hold a Doctorate of Science Degree (PhD) in economics
from the University of Zimbabwe and a Master of Science degree in
economics from the same institution.
But when one of the institutions in Lusaka that had employed Mugadza wrote
to the University of Zimbabwe for confirmation of the two academic
qualifications, the university management denied ever enrolling such a person.
“This letter serves to confirm that Tinaye Mugadza never registered with
the University of Zimbabwe at any one time. We have no such name in our data base,” read the letter date August 25, 2012 and signed by an administrative assistant, a Mrs. E Rubaba.
“If he is sure that he was a student at this institution, can he provide us
with his student number and a copy of his transcript. Should you have any
other queries, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.”
Mugadza’s alleged PhD certificate number SS 00125 dated 17th October 2005
and his Master of Science degree in economics certificate number SS 00119
dated 17th October 2003 show that he graduated with merits in both
programmes.
And the Examinations Council of Zambia (ECZ) has dismissed Mugadza’s Grade
12 school certificate as fake.
“A copy of the statement of results examination number 6472830179 in the
name of Mugaza Tinai who purports to have written the Grade 12
examinations at Mumbwa APU Academic Production Unity Centre in 1995
presented to this office has been verified. The document is not genuine,”
stated the October 31, 2012 ECZ letter signed by senior records officer, P
Mbewe.
Mugadza’s Grade 12 transcript of results shows that he had merits in
geography, mathematics, biology, science and commerce with credits in
English language, Christian religious education and history.
And sources told The Post Mugadza had been looking for a job at the National Institute of Public Administration.
He has also been dean at one of the local private universities.

Poor law enforcement and monitoring of academic credentials by th employer and academic institutes….that is why its important to go global and post all qualified persons on an institutions site as a way of combating such bad elements denting th education image of many institutions

He was successfully recruited and worked at universities without being discovered. I f universities cannot detect false degrees, what about the “industrial” employer out there? Awe Mwandi!!
