Posted by Masvingo, December 15, 2009 – The government audit has unearthed 5 000 ghost workers in Masvingo province with 1 000 of these registered as teachers at non-existent schools, sources said on Tuesday.
“As we compiled the statistics , we found out that 5 000 workers were non existent… Some of these workers are either dead or left the civil service for greener pastures, while others never set foot at the offices which they are said to be working,” said the source participating in the exercise meant to flush out ghost workers and others who got on the government payroll on patronage basis . “Another 1000 workers are fake teachers at non existent schools in the province, but, surprisingly, they had the Employment Code (EC) number.”
They have so far inspected Gutu, Chiredzi, Bikita, Mwenezi, Masvingo Rural and Urban, among the eight districts in the province.
Contacted for a comment, Public Services Minister Prof Elias Mukonoweshuro said: “The audit process is a comprehensive process covering the whole country. We will not reveal piecemeal results for a specific province. A team of independent auditors will collate and release the results for the whole country.”
He said his Ministry would release the results for the whole country next year January.
“Let me assure you that the results will not be made a secret since they are a public matter. They will not be hidden from the public,” Prof Mukonoweshuro said.

Finally now we have a government that is TRYING to work for the people. This is what Zapu Pf should have done. If they check to see where the money was or is going we will all be surprised. I think for defrauding the government the perpetrator’s asserts should be frozen and confiscated by the state. This is WHY Zimbabwe is where it is today; because Mugabe looks sideways while his people milk the nation, from Kangai, to the Willow vale motor scandal to the reserve bank all the way up to now.
HE COULD HAVE STOPED THE LOOTING. HE CHOSE NOT TO SO HE HAS TO GO.
