Mnangagwa silences critics with new Cabinet

A developmental Cabinet I would call it. Brilliant balance between old and trusted hands, technocrats and youthfulness.A well thought out Cabinet that balances the competing demands of the economy and politics.


The appointment of Oppah Muchinguri as defence minister is a masterstroke.This ministry was being watched by many following the events of August the first in which the deployment of the army on that fateful day is now a subject of a commission of inquiry.Oppah Muchinguri, a war veteran in her own right is being deputised by Matematanda who is also a war veteran.The command of the army is in safe hands.


The appointment of Joel Matiza an engineer by profession and Fortune Chasi a lawyer by profession to the transport and Infrastructural development ministry takes care of the legal and technical aspects of the roads we need to build in double time.The Beitbridge road that was bogged down before due to contractual enforcement comes to mind. This combination of legal and technical expertise will go a long way in getting things done.No surprises on the re-appointment of Rtd General Sibusiso Moyo back into the Ministry of foreign affairs and International Trade.


He has made considerable inroads since November last year in the world of diplomacy. His job was always guaranteed.Winston Chitando reappointed to the mines ministry is a former mimosa mines boss and hence a technocrat.His is perfect in his role.Surprise new names unknown to many are industrialist Mangaliso Ndlovu to the Industry and Commerce Ministry and the Health and Childcare ministry to Dr Obediah Moyo a renowned medical professional who has singlehandedly built a state-of-the-art hospital in Chitungwiza.

He will most definitely look to turning around the health sector and not wait for budgetary allocation to do this.This man understands that the health sector is not only government responsibility alone. The private sector and indeed all citizens the world over have a role to play.Sithembiso Nyoni, despite her age, is the face of experience and energy. She has in the past excelled in women’s affairs and small to medium business development.She brings a wealth of wisdom and experience in women’s affairs.

Her compatriot, Priscah Mupfumira has been a steady pair of hands in the tourism sector.I have had occasion to interact with her here in London. She brings maturity and trust to such a key ministry.She is part of the old guard.Her compatriot, Joram Gumbo former transport minister is now in charge of the energy and power development ministry.His track record in the transport ministry was not impressive.


He is accused of presiding over non-performance of a contractual obligation on the Beitbridge road and is largely tainted by allegations of corruption in the Air Zimbabwe/Zimbabwe Airways aeroplane acquisitions.However, no evidence of any wrongdoing was ever brought forward.‘Kazembe where are you’ inherits Super Mandiwandzira’s ministry in ICT and courier services.

Chamisa's lawyer spoke out about Mnangagwa's fraud evidence during the election

OPPOSITION MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will launch a renewed bid to oust President Emmerson Mnangagwa by seeking to have the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) review its own judgment based on “new evidence.”.Chamisa’s lawyer Thabani Mpofu said after studying academic works on the elections published by self-exiled former minister Jonathan Moyo, they were now making efforts to have the judgment on the 2018 presidential elections set aside.The country’s top court ruled that Chamisa had failed to prove allegations of fraud during the presidential election, a vote which left the nation polarised and violence on the streets of the capital Harare.Mpofu said the basis of approaching the ConCourt was because they now believe that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) presented to the courts false information and, therefore, their call for the judgment to be set aside.“The general rule is that once a final judgment or order has been given, the judge who gave it or any other judge of parallel juri...

Grace Mugabe to make a graceful exit from politics

The future of former First Lady, Grace Mugabe, who arguably created more enemies than friends during her husband's last days in office, now hangs in the balance. The demise of the former president.Robert Mugabe, the man from whom Grace drew power and protection, leaves his wife now exposed. Grace, who during the greater part of husband's presidency had been focused on charity work, before later venturing into politics..With the support of Mugabe, Grace was in December 2014 parachuted to the helm of ZANU-PF Women's League, automatically qualifying to sit in the ruling party's highest decision-making body, the Politburo..The ex-First Lady then used her position and marriage to Mugabe to vilify all those she perceived to be harbouring ambitions of succeeding Zimbabwe's long-time ruler..She became literally untouchable with ministers currying favours with her to avoid being sacked by the President. The former First Lady ganged up with the G40 faction of ZANU-PF....
