Lusaka Magistrate Wilfred Muma said in his
judgment that "he did not find any truth in Mr Masumba's testimony",
adding that the prosecution had established the case against him.
He adjourned the matter to Wednesday November 20,for sentencing and mitigation, although Masumba was remanded in prison.
Masumba knew that he did not pass in some
subjects, among them basic accounting, auditing and taxation, but went
ahead to graduate, the magistrate said.
