Robert Mugabe engineered a trumped-up adultery lawsuit against Catholic Archbishop Pius Ncube, as a result of which the archbishop resigned his position.  Shortly thereafter, Ncube quickly discouraged rumours that he might run for president against Mugabe next year.

Mugabe's scheme has managed to intimidate his most formidable and internationally respected opponent.  But that’s not enough.  The evil dictator wants Ncube utterly humiliated.

An extraordinary top-secret document, leaked to me by an operative in Zimbabwe's Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO), reveals that President Mugabe is not satisfied with just the resignation of the Archbishop of Bulawayo, Pius Ncube, after he became a victim of a notorious government-inspired 'honey trap'.

Ncube, a strenuous critic of the Mugabe regime and recently revealed in The First Post to be a possible opposition candidate for President, is to have his reputation ground into the dust by means of a string of carefully orchestrated scandals.

Reporter Moses Moyo says he has received by fax a memorandum from the office of the Director-General of Zimbabwe’s CIO, outlining the series of scandals.  (The document has been posted here).

The same woman who lodged the adultery allegation against Abp Ncube is to be persuaded to file a second lawsuit, claiming that she contracted AIDS from the archbishop.  The next step is to plant a story that Ncube has fathered two children by a married woman.  The fourth and final stage is to link him with the pregnancy of a girl who died in 2005 following a failed abortion.

Mr Moyo’s source believes the plot will proceed, despite the fact that it has now been leaked.
