	Secret CIO Docs Reveal Plan to Destroy Ncube By Chief Reporter The Zimbabwean October 11, 2007 http://www.thezimbabwean.co.uk/viewinfo.cfm?linkcategoryid=27&linkid=35&id=6406 The Zimbabwean has obtained 'Top Secret' Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) documents revealing a plan to mount phases two, three and four of a sting operation against Roman Catholic Bishop, Pius Ncube, with the express authority of President Robert Mugabe. The documents reveal how the CIO plans to bring down Ncube through a three-tier sting that includes an HIV/AIDS saga, an abortion scandal and a further adultery charge involving another married woman. The document, reference number DG/mm2/ei Cleric, is an executive instruction to all the divisional heads of the CIO dated "9/14/7" or September 14, 2007. It is addressed to heads of the Internal division, Counter Intelligence, Foreign division and CIO assistant directors in Harare, Bulawayo, Midlands, Matabeleland North and South. Intelligence sources said the document was drafted a week after press reports that Ncube was forming a political party. He has denied these reports. The Zimbabwean has in its possession, a faxed copy of the "executive instruction" on a CIO official document bearing the Zimbabwean coat of arms. The documents contain sensitive government information, crudely encrypted. State Security minister Didymus Mutasa was not immediately available to comment on the leaked document, bound to cause extreme embarrassment for the security agency and the government. The document reveals that the sting operation has been approved by Mugabe himself, and refers to "Zim1" - standard CIO-speak for Mugabe. "Collapse phase two and three into one phase as per attached guidelines and commence with immediate effect," reads the coded message from CIO supremo Happyton Bonyongwe. "Esigodini payment has been effected. "Let me stress that it has been made clear that Pius Ncube has always and still remains a security threat. Please be advised that Zim1 has impressed upon me to ensure that Ncube keeps his silence and begs forgiveness from Zim1." Mugabe was also not happy with the way the media handled the last sting, where details of the Bishop allegedly having an affair with the estranged wife of a mid-level government functionary were exposed. "But sterilize media's involvement. Powers that be not pleased with way op (operation) was handled in first instance," says the document. It also makes reference to silencing Ncube before "congress," a reference to the December Zanu (PF) extraordinary congress expected to endorse Mugabe as the ruling party's presidential candidate for 2008 elections. The document implores field agents to "double up their efforts" and says "Cannot fail to bring him to his knees." Bonyongwe says Ncube's transgression is that he has "pressed on attacking the sovereign government of Zim1." Intelligence sources say phase two involves Onesmus Sibanda, husband of Rosemary, the woman alleged to have been having an extra-marital affair with the Bishop. The document reveals that Sibanda is due to file a second lawsuit, revealing that he had contracted HIV from his wife following her relationship with the Bishop. Sibanda has been paid Z$12 billion for this sting, according to our sources. Phase three referred to in the directive contains fresh allegations that Ncube has sired two children with a married woman in Esigodini. She is married to Likwa Manjengwa, who has been given Z$3 billion to implicate Ncube in this scandal. Mugabe was said to have been ecstatic with this information about Ncube's alleged children. Says Bonyongwe in his letter: "Briefing on Manjengwa has pleased Zim 1." The fourth phase involves details of an alleged abortion by a 17 year-old girl purported to have been impregnated by Ncube. The Bulawayo girl, Tamai Chirenje, died while in the process of terminating the pregnancy, allegedly on the instructions of Ncube. Intelligence sources said Mugabe was desperate to silence the Bishop by any means necessary. Mugabe was also said to be livid with Ncube's move to resign. He stepped down from the top position as Catholic Archbishop of Bulawayo saying he didn't want it to appear that the church was being tried for adultery. The Catholic Church in Zimbabwe, South Africa and the UK continues to support Ncube despite the scandal. But the official position of the Vatican is unclear.
