Zwimba district registrar has been slammed with a 10 month jail sentence after being found guilty of processing 14 fake birth certificates.
Michael Chikomba processed 14 birth certificates on different occasions from June to July 2014, and they were all found in possession of one Shepherd Machiridza.
Investigations by the police showed that the certificates were processed after hours between 5pm and midnight on different occasions. After processing, the certificates would be given to Munyaradzi Nzou to deliver to the owners.
It emerged that the certificates were not entered into the initial birth forms known as the BD1 forms as required in laid-down procedures.
Chikomba received an 18 month jail term before with eight months set aside on condition that he does not commit a similar offence in the next five years.
