By Talent Gondo| President Emmerson Mnangagwa has promised to trade his lieutenants and the current crop of leadership at the helm of power for a more effective and professional team to carry the country forward post 2018 elections.

Addressing Zimbabweans in Qatar, Mnangagwa said his administration will not tolerate corruption and poor work ethics in the new dispensation.

“I have no doubt that soon after elections that are coming in July, many heads will roll,” he said.

“We now emphasise on productivity, professionalism, hard work, honest work, that is the mantra.”

Mnangagwa said since his ascendancy into the Presidency, he noted commendable changes on the work ethics of especially public servants and ministers.

“Our work ethic is changing, I used to arrive at work earlier than my directors, now I find them there,” he said, adding that even the ministers had changed.

He however emphasised the importance of synergies within government departments including public institutions in fighting corruption.

“My administration is not going to tolerate any form of corruption at any level,” he said.

“To do this, we need the support of other institutions: the police, judiciary, the anti-corruption commission and the National Prosecuting Authority, we are in the process of making them pull in one direction,” he said.
