Botswana's ruling party loses at the polls. Violence breaks out in Mozambique and South Africa's ANC performs dismally. But in Zimbabwe, the head of intelligence is saying something else to the President.

And this, it leads to problems - real problems.

The inside story about how Isaac Moyo was appointed and then removed from the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) and why Zimbabwe's Intelligence has a new boss and is now taking on a new path.

The story begins with the CIO submitting rogue intelligence reports in 2010, which facilitated Joice Mujuru's removal as Vice President.

Mnangagwa, the Minister of Defence, moved his pieces. First, he accelerated changes in the army by appointing Constantino Chiwenga as Commander—the man who later led a coup to elect Mnangagwa President. Later, he installed Isaac Moyo to change the face of the CIO.

But now Isaac has been fired. The question is why.
