Chiwenga & Gono linked to Bennet’s abduction
The abduction, arrest and charging of MDC Treasurer General and Deputy Minister of Agriculture designate Roy Bennett was planned and carried out by aides close to Army chief Chiwenga and backed by Reserve Bank Governor Gideon Gono.
Sources fingered a small unit made up personnel from the Military Intelligence Directorate (MID), led by Colonel Mzilikazi, and the Special Agency SAS, the torture unit of the army, led by one Manene to be resposnsible and report directly to Chiwenga.
A vehicle a Toyota Hilax with registration numbers ABD1317 which was used to transport Bennet to Mutare personally belongs to Chiwenga.
A source tells Metro that Chiwenga last week broached the idea that all military chiefs should boycott the swearing of Morgan Tsvangirai as Prime Minister so he could earn their support and not be handed to him ‘with a spoon’.
A source also reveals that Reserve Bank Governor Gono,who initially supported the all inclusive government but started to back out after his appointement and that of the Attoney General were set to be reviewed as part of the power sharing deal.
Gono is adamant to keep his job as the new cabinet and new Finance Minister will likely push for his dismissal,and the only way he could do this is to frustrate the deal,and force the MDC to pull out of its officials to start quitting,in particular the highly impatient Finance Minister, Tendai Biti.
