Terrence Mawawa, Chiredzi| An overzealous Central Intelligence Organisation(CIO) operative shocked all and sundry when he bashed a senior court official for walking while the  Zimbabwe national flag was being hoisted .
The incident happened last week, at NSSA Building-the CIO district offices, when Edmore Mbavarira, the posecutor-in-charge at Chiredzi Magistrate’s court was assaulted by Muyambo a known state security agent. The state security agents are tormenting residents and government workers in Chiredzi for failing to stop at attention during the hoisting of the flag.
The move is calculated to intimidate the suffering people of Zimbabwe  following a series of anti-government protests, political analysts have said. Mbavarira has since reported the matter to the police but Muyambo is yet to be arrested. It is understood the police are wary of the political implications of the matter. Mbavarira confirmed the incident but was reluctant to narrate what transpired.
Sources at NSSA Building told ZimEye.com the state security agent assaulted Mbavarira with open hands and fists on his face. “The incident happened when the flag was being hoisted by security guards at NSSA House. Mbavarira was walking from the other side of the building and he was assaulted by an official from the President’s Office,”said a government official who works at NSSA House.
Legal practitioners here described the incident as barbaric and uncouth.
