"Slain CID Officer Was Shot Dead By A Police Gun"

A Criminal Investigations Department (CID) officer who tragically lost her life during a confrontation with armed robbers in Bulawayo’s Pumula South suburb on Thursday night was, in fact, killed by a police bullet, it has emerged.

Detective Constable Cassandra Hove, 37, a mother of four, sustained a single gunshot wound to her left breast, with the bullet remaining lodged in her body.

She was swiftly transported to Flex Clinic in Lobengula, where she was pronounced dead on arrival just before 9 PM.

Initially, it was believed that she had been shot by the armed robbers she was pursuing. However, family spokesman Ryan Gambinga later revealed that police officials had informed them that her death was the result of friendly fire. In a statement, Gambinga said:

The family is deeply shocked and troubled by the tragic circumstances surrounding her death. While we initially received conflicting reports, our recent meeting with ZRP Bulawayo has confirmed that a fellow police officer, and not armed robbers, was involved in this devastating event.

This revelation raises profound questions and intensifies our grief. We are committed to uncovering the complete truth and ensuring that justice is served.

As we mourn the loss of our beloved daughter, we demand a thorough and transparent investigation.

In a statement issued just hours after Hove’s death, Police said: “comprehensive investigations are underway with a view to establishing what exactly transpired.”

At the time of her death, Hove was pursuing a career outside the police force after earning a degree in forensic accounting.

She was also a proud member of the all-female Lozikeyi team of detectives, based at Bulawayo Central Police Station.

The unit, named after Queen Lozikeyi Dlodlo—one of King Lobengula’s senior wives—honours her legacy as a key figure in organising resistance against British colonial forces during the 1896 Anglo-Ndebele War.

Queen Lozikeyi was instrumental in preparing war medicines and rallying the Ndebele regiments in their fight for independence.

She died as a result of crime of passion. Police are not saying anything meaningful, they haven't told us if she died in action or by accidental discharge of a fire arm .

May be it was an accidental discharge that killed her, and the cid is embarrassed to stomach the reality. The police has a very specialized branch well equipped to deal head on with the armed criminals. CID must only do the reconnaissance and avoid compromising themselves.

Lozikeyi was a senior queen of the Ndebele nation until 1893. She was known for being outspoken, and for her defiance of the white settlers – who described her as a “dangerous and intriguing woman” – in what would become Rhodesia. When her husband disappeared in 1893, she served for a time as de facto regent of the kingdom. She is credited with keeping the nation stable following not only her husband’s disappearance, but also their 1893 Matebele war with The British South Africa Company. In 1896, along with her twin brother, Queen Lozikeyi led the resistance against colonial rule and land theft. Referred to as Imfazo or The War of the Red Axe (Impi Yehlok’elibomvu), this was the catalyst to what is commonly known as the First Chimurenga war. Queen Lozikeyi had wisely stored ammunition that had not been used by King Lobengula; the Imbizo regiment were able to use this ammunition against the Cecil Rhodes’ forces. The predominantly Ndebele Zimbabwe People’s Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) referred to her as the Foremother of ZIPRA; in a show of honour and for good fortune, ZIPRA forces buried two bullets at her grave years after her death. By the end of that year, British forces and the Ndebele army had reached a stalemate. Queen Lozikeyi led peace negotiations in the Matobo mountains, resulting in amnesty and a ceasefire, though the Ndebele people had already lost their best land and control. She remained defiant until her death in 1919 after she succumbed to influenza. Author Yvonne Vera once referred to her as a “conspicuous and commanding figure. A big, bold and beautiful woman of ample proportions and clearly the leading spirit among the Ndebele queens. With quick intelligence and ready wit, she was also remarkable among Ndebele women.” Near Nkosikazi in Bubi District is a school for which she campaigned and which she opened; it still serves students. She was the subject of a 2013 biography, Lozikeyi Dlodlo, Queen of the Ndebele by Marieke Faber Clarke.

You hate Ndebeles just because you have identity issues. Know yourself and be proud . You can only appreciate the greatness of others only if you know who you are

Can't you see that is off topic, some pple are crying and u are bringing in yo identity history. Does that make sense. Toda kuziva akauraya munhu not history.

@Xx don't be tribalistic,Mbuya nehanda and Queen lozikeyi contributed to the liberation struggle,we need to honor them.Rember we are celebrating women's day. .If you have a problem then tell us about Queen Munhumutapa,do you even know her .Dont be jealous about other peoples rich culture.We need to learn to emulate the Queen's courage in the fight against colonial oppression. .Her Queens,military leadership is an example that women can lead in the army.Today we have female senior army and air force,officers because of the example of Queen lozikeyi and Mbuya Nehanda.

Taurai zvinu zvinonzvika, you say she was shot by a police gun, why not name the real person who shot her, why protecting the Identity of the culprit? Something doesn't add up here? Cassandra was a graduate in forensic science, why wasn't she posted appropriately to the forensic department where her qualifications fit, and why was she still a constable with such high level of education. She was more educated than the police general.
