Mnangagwa finally has his way on CIO officers

The close security aides (CSA) and senior security aides (SSA) from the CIO rejected by VP Emmerson Mnangagwa have been formerly withdrawn from his office.

Sources said Mnangagwa only accepted a few close security officers particularly Temias Shumba who has always been one of his trusted aides.

The aides were removed after Mnangagwa questioned their loyalty arguing most of them had in the past been either assigned to Joice Mujuru or her allies.

Mnangagwa has been pushing for security sector changes and wants senior CIO directors removed as he believes they are loyal to Mujuru.
