ZANU PF MP Proposes Tax On Cambridge Exam Fees

Nyanga South legislator Supa Mandiwanzira (ZANU PF) has proposed that the Zimbabwean government tax Cambridge examination fees, arguing that Cambridge University profits without investing in the country, reported OpenParly.

Zimbabwe relied on Cambridge University for national examinations from independence until around 1995, when the Zimbabwe Schools Examination Council (ZIMSEC) took over.

Despite ZIMSEC’s establishment, many Zimbabwean parents still prefer Cambridge examinations to improve their children’s prospects for international education.

Mandiwanzira, also a ZANU PF Politburo member, said Cambridge University has earned billions of dollars from Zimbabwean students over the years and should be taxed.

During the 2025 National Budget debate in the National Assembly, Mandiwanzira argued that taxing Cambridge could generate revenue for the Treasury, reducing the need to increase the budget for the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science, and Technology Development. He said:

Since independence in 1980 until now, Zimbabweans have paid examination fees of varying amounts in USD to Cambridge University.

I have not heard in my entire life where Cambridge University has assisted in building schools here because they feed out of the investment by the government.

I think we need to find a way of funding our education ministries from funds that have gone to Cambridge.

We need to find a way either to tax these funds or prick their conscience to say you have lured billions of dollars since independence in 1980.

I have not heard where Cambridge University has offered scholarships to Zimbabweans because they benefit by getting exam fees from thousands of Zimbabweans.

I am sure if we do calculations of how much has been paid in examination fees to Cambridge University in the UK, it will run into billions of USD. So, my suggestion is perhaps in the taxing…

This is just another way of making the citizens' life difficult, nekuti I guess if you tax Cambridge they will just throw the burden back to the ordinary Zim candidate who is registering with them. How? They will just put their fees up to cover for the tax and who suffers? We still get the hammering.

Under normal circumstances education falls under Non Profit Organizations and is exempt from tax. Best idea is to tax your zanupf bosses and chiyqngwa nana chivhayo for the money they used in buying luxury cars overseas. The mansions bought in other countries. Their holiday expenses the looted money overseas the medical bills etc

Go to UK and advertise your zimsec for the UK students to write ZIMSEC exams.

Supa should live in a modern life, Cambridge can always come with a tactic for the children to write without his involvement

I used to respect Supa Mandiwanzira a lot.what he is suggesting has eroded all that respect.he is an ****.he forgets that taxing these Cambridge exams is counterproductive.what ot means is that the exam fees will be raised to compensate for the tax.consequently the parents will suffer.all he thinks about is making life hard for the people who are already suffering.i wonder what school he attended.he appears more foolish than a broiler.

Cambridge University will pass on the taxing to the students by adjusting up the exam fees, who suffers at last is Zimbabwe child, exam fees were being raised year after year and stops Cambridge from increasing the fees if tax is introduced

This guy enjoyed the full benefits of Zimbabwe being a commonwealth country and now wants to deny people the scraps thats left. As a min he was at the forefront of attacking econet as well as undoing the progress that gvt telecoms had amassed during the GNU. he is counter productive. He is a goon, a gangster and doesnt deserve to be in a position of power
