The college principal and CEO, Dr Manager Mhangarai Muswaba, verified that students reported the Crawford campus residence supervisor for allegedly engaging in inappropriate relationships with students., the employee was suspended without pay pending investigations due to the severity of the allegations. The case was escalated to the Department of Higher Education and Training, and an independent investigator from a related college was assigned to probe the issue.
