CIO boss gets new contract

President Robert Mugabe has extended Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) director-general Happyton Bonyongwe’s contract by another year, NewsDay has learnt.

This comes amid reports that Bonyongwe was facing an imminent ouster over his alleged links to former Vice-President Joice Mujuru.

Sources said Bonyongwe, Police Commissioner-General Augustine Chihuri, Air Marshal Perrance Shiri and Prisons Commissioner-General Retired Major-General Paradzai Zimondi, were targeted for ousting as a victorious Zanu PF faction suspected them of being Mujuru allies.
