By A Correspondent- Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, who is currently recovering in China after being operated on, has reportedly fired security officials attached.

Chiwenga dismissed the security details fearing that they were spying on him and giving his political rivals information on his recovery bid.

The Independent quotes its sources as saying:

He remained with two security aides by the name Ncube and Kadengu, who are from the military.

… Besides, he also believed they were giving updates to his political rivals, including Mnangagwa about his progress.

Chiwenga has been in and out of the hospital several times, as he visited India, South Africa and now China for medical treatment.

The former army general is expected to remain in China for several months, surrounded by family members, including his son, though his wife, Marry, is in Zimbabwe.
