Correspondent|A gun-wielding bogus agent, who last year allegedly breached President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s close security during a State function at the renaming of KGVI Barracks to Josiah Magama Tongogara will on October 30 know his fate.

Guthrie Chirodzero (40), who was arrested on December 6 last year, was appearing before magistrate Yeukai Chigodora for trial. The same magistrate will preside over the judgement on the matter.

Chirodzero is in custody as bail was denied. He is being represented by Rumbidzai Venge and is facing charges of possession of an offensive weapon at a public gathering, impersonation and forgery.

Prosecuting, Michael Reza alleges that, before his arrest, Chirodzero was trying to disguise his identity by controlling movement of people during the renaming of King George (KGVI) Barracks to Josiah Magama Tongogara Barracks in Harare.

He allegedly sneaked into State House on December 4 during the swearing in of Cabinet ministers.

Chirodzero allegedly impersonated a state security agent and was even spotted near the podium controlling traffic.

The State further alleged military personnel also established that Chirodzero was a bogus CIO operative and he had a 38mm special Amando Rossi South African revolver with three live rounds of ammunition and two spent cartridges.
