ZIMBABWE`S CIO AGENTS REVEALED: LIST

After six weeks serializing the leaked 2001 list of CIO agents working in and outside Zimbabwe, SW Radio Africa will begin publishing a supplementary list of agents who, for various reasons, might not have been on the previous document. Andrew Muzonzini reported to be a Director (Internal) in the CIO hit the headlines in 2008.
