Samson Murombo, a lieutenant colonel in the Presidential Guard (PG), who was the commanding officer at State House, was last week transferred ‘‘to the pool’’ at the Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA)’s headquarters, now known as Josiah Magama Barracks following the shooting that took place at the State House.
Speaking to the Daily News, unnamed sources said that there was no way Murombo could have retained his position considering that he previously clashed with First Lady, Auxillia Mnangagwa who accused him of spying on her. One of the sources said:
He (Murombo) was indeed the commander (when last week’s shooting incident happened) and should have been more vigilant … but he slept on the job by keeping a mentally ill person to guard State House.
In the process, he compromised the security of the president and as such he has had to be removed from there.
