Harare — The head of the Central Intelligence Organisation in Chiredzi was last week shot dead while his workmate was injured after two unidentified gunmen attacked them in the town.
Regis Dongonda (38) died on arrival at Chiredzi District Hospital after he was shot in the mouth by the unidentified gumen who also shot his workmate Rudo Maimbo (age not given), on one of her arms while the pair was drinking beer inside their Toyota Rancher pick-up truck, at Chishamiso Beerhall in Tshovani Township.
Maimbo is currently in a stable condition at Chiredzi District Hospital where she is being treated.
The motive of the attack was not yet clear by yesterday as the gunmen did not steal the pair's vehicle or any of their belongings.
Masvingo police spokesman Inspector Phibion Nyambo yesterday said investigations into the matter were still continuing.
"The body of the deceased is awaiting a post morterm at Chiredzi Hospital but we are still investigating the matter to establish the motive behind the shooting and we will be able to give a full report after that," said Insp Nyambo.
He could not be drawn into saying whether any suspects had been arrested or not.
It is understood that the gunmen approached the two around 9:30pm and ordered them out of the car.
The gunmen then took advantage of the darkness caused by a power cut.
They ordered Dongonda and Maimbo to go and stand at the back of their truck while they got inside themselves.
One of the gunmen who sat at the back of the truck then fired the first shot hitting Dongonda in the mouth before firing the second shot, which injured Maimbo on the arm.
They allegedly disappeared into darkness after the shooting leaving behind the vehicle and the two lying on the ground. The two were later on taken to hospital where Dongonda was pronounced dead on arrival.

CIO- Creeps In Orriface. Must be Dickinpig88 the Jackass of allafrica . Hee haw hee haw. He's just like CJ Rhodes, homosexual.
I just hope and am praying that this was not the work of MDC's Democratic Resistance Committees (DRCs) because if it was then we are back to square one - making one step forward and two steps backwards. Remember these people were responsible for the bombing of Police Stations, trains and bridges.
There is still the unresolved case of the shooting of the Air Force Commander, Air Marshal Perence Shiri and now this. The bandits who were trained in Botswana have not all been accounted for and so there is reason to suspect that they are the ones who did this.
Satan has already heard your rantings and ravings so your revolution can carry on burning. You certainly don't like it when the boot's on the other foot do you Tokolosh. Coven Leader of the Macheke Cult.
Dear oh dear Tacky, you pass off assumptions as fact so easily.... and you know what assumptions are the mother of.
In fact you are posting lies!
When were police stations, trains and bridges bombed!
You say bandits were trained in Botswana, more propoganda and lies. No evidence as always.
In fact you post all this nonsense on a daily basis, and when I call you on it, you cowardly refuse to comment.
I'm not going anywhere, and every time you post your lies, I'll be here to inform readers that lies are exactly what you peddle.
THE EVOLVING SAGA OF THE SAGACITY OF THE DONKEY OF ZIMBABWE, red, red, smithy, comrade AWT-DEPENDENT on rhodism.
The RED DONKEY OF ZIMBABWE, the 'patriot' who called the people of Zimbabwe and Zimbabwe " a piece of pathetic crap" is at it again: name calling. You get what you dole out, bloke: name calling---red, looney comrade awt-dependent on the moribund and racist ideological sewer of rhodism.
"I never lie," he was reported saying off site. Yet the DONKEY, whose sustainance is the crap of rhodism, is a consumate liar. Rhodism is a mountain of fibs.
"There are no sanctions on Zimbabwe."
"Zimbabwe is a piece of pathetic crap."
"I am the best writer and thinker in Africa."
The last is the mother of perfidy: the dude, the DONKEY, can't write; worse, he can't think. The DONKEY stands out like a sore thumb, for most Zimbabweans can write and think. What a black mark on Zimbababwe, or as he would call it "the piece of pathetic crap called Zimbabwe"!
IDIOT!
