Terrence Mawawa Masvingo A female member of the Central Intelligence Organisation, recently boobed on the job while spying on the Masvingo City Council private meeting proceedings, leading to her public exposure and humiliation.
The female spy it is reported was last week ejected from the Masvingo City Council Chambers after she had schemed her way into the local authority’s private committee meeting.
Alert councillors and council officials threatened to boycott the meeting over the state security agent’s presence in the closed door meeting. Typical of members of the feared spy organisation, the female CIO (name withheld) operative from the Masvingo District section, initially refused to leave the chambers claiming she had the right to to attend any meeting-even in people’s bedrooms.
There was confusion as proceedings had to be briefly halted since local authority officials and some councillors indicated it was not safe to discuss council issues in the presence of the state security agent. The cheeky spy was later asked to leave the chambers by the council’s security personnel.
Mayor Hubert Fidze confirmed the pandemonium involving the operative but was quick to point out the matter was too sensitive to divulge more details. “It is true that there was mayhem as a result of the presence of an official from the President’s office. Very soon we will have a full account of who is allowed into meetings of such magnitude,”said Fidze.
Ward four councillor Godfrey Kurauone, said the council should not twist its regulations to accommodate members of the spy organisation. “Since I got into council, it has been a stipulated guideline that non-council officials are not allowed to attend committee meetings.”
