‘WikiLeaks mole’ Satuku dies

RETIRED army major-general Fidelis Satuku has died, 10 years after he was forced out of the security sector for allegedly bad-mouthing then Zimbabwe Defence Forces commander Constantino Chiwenga at a private meeting with former United States (US) ambassador Charles Ray.

A veteran of the liberation struggle, Satuku died yesterday at a military hospital in Mutare aged 64.

Details of his secret meeting with the former US ambassador were exposed by WikiLeaks in a series of leaked diplomatic cables, which also implicated then brigadier-general Herbert Chingono.
