HARARE: Former president Robert Mugabe has fired six security details provided by the state because he suspected they were spying on him on behalf of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government, it has been revealed.
Sources say the former Zimbabwe strongman took the drastic action last week soon after his return from Singapore.
He is said to be now considering recruiting his own security details.
Mugabe is said to have complained that the security details spent most of their time at State House where they would have been summoned by their bosses.
The sources said Mugabe was not happy that his workers were regularly quizzed about visitors to his Harare mansion.
Mnangagwa’s spokesperson George Charamba refused to comment on the decision. standard
